multiple link criteria in form

B

BLTibbs

What is wrong with this code below? It works with either the category field
or the subcategory field but not with them both. What I am trying to do is
open GroupDetailsSubFrm and only show the records in that query for the
category and the subcategory on the original form... What am I doing wrong?

Private Sub Command19_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command19_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "GroupDetailsSubFrm"
stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] And "[subCategory]=" &
Me![SubCategory]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Command19_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command19_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command19_Click
End Sub

The And should be inside the quote

Yours
stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] And "[subCategory]=" &
Me![SubCategory]

Should be
stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] & " And [subCategory]=" &
Me![SubCategory]

The "And" needs to be part of the SQL string and therefore inside the
quotes:

stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] & " And [subCategory]="
& Me![SubCategory]

Not sure what your working from and too.

Are you opening one form from another form?

Is "Me" Form 1 and Category field 1 and subCategory field 2 on the Me
form?

Is the GroupDetailsSubFrm on a different form that the "Me" form is to
open?

Is both Category and SubCategory fields on the GroupDetailsSubFrm as
seperate Fields?

If all these are true then I would do it a little differently:

Dim xxx As String
Dim zzz As String
xxx = [Text0]
zzz = [Combo3]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GroupDetailsSubFrm"
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "GroupDetailsSubFrm"
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Dim SrcSQL As String
SrcSQL = "SELECT GroupDetailSubFrmsTbl.* FROM GroupDetailSubFrmsTbl
WHERE
(((GroupDetalSubFrmsTbl.Category)=[Forms]![MeFormName]![Category]) AND
((GroupDetailSubFrmTbl.subCategory)=[Forms]![MeFormName]![subCategory]))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SrcSQL
Exit Sub

Note: Replace GroupDetailSubFrmsTbl with the table name of the
GroupDetailSubFrm thorugh the sql string

Replace the MeFromName with the Form name for "Me" in your above code.

Opps: Didn't replace my text0 and combo 3. Try this one

Dim xxx As String
Dim zzz As String
xxx = [Category]
zzz = [SubCategory]
DoCmd.OpenForm "GroupDetailsSubFrm"
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, "GroupDetailsSubFrm"
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Dim SrcSQL As String
SrcSQL = "SELECT GroupDetailSubFrmsTbl.* FROM GroupDetailSubFrmsTbl
WHERE
(((GroupDetalSubFrmsTbl.Category)=[Forms]![MeFormName]![Category]) AND
((GroupDetailSubFrmTbl.subCategory)=[Forms]![MeFormName]![subCategory]))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SrcSQL
Exit Sub

You were right on the form operation! Thanks. I tried your same format for
a dlookup in a field control dealing with the same fields, but it gives me
back a result of 0.00 every time regardless of what is should come out to. Do
I have something wrong in the following dlookup string?

=DLookUp("Ingresos","InQry","[category]= " &
[Forms]![GroupsubCategorySubFrm]![category] And "[subcategory]= " &
[Forms]![GroupsubCategorySubFrm]![subcategory])

I tried putting the and inside the quotes like you said for the form, but it
tells me that is invalid syntax and won't allow it. What now?

Yours
stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] And "[subCategory]=" &

Should be
stLinkCriteria = "[Category]=" & Me![Category] & " And [subCategory]=" &
Me![SubCategory]
