table name from list box

javablood

I am trying to use the table name chosen from a list box in an SQL. I know I
am getting the table name from the list box because I can open the table from
the code but I keep getting errors (Form clause, JOIN operation) when trying
to run the SQL. Any ideas? TIA

SQL = "SELECT [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].[Calendar
Date], " & _
"Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].WS),2) AS
AvgOfWS, " & _
"Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].WD),0) AS
AvgOfWD, " & _
"Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].sigma),2) AS
AvgOfsigma, " & _
"Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].ws_max),2) AS
AvgOfws_max, " & _
"Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].temp_c),2) " & _
"AS AvgOftemp_c, Round(Avg([Forms]![Generate Weather
Data]![Me.tablename].bar_press),0) " & _
"AS AvgOfbar_press, Round(Sum([Forms]![Generate Weather
Data]![Me.tablename].rain),2) " & _
"AS SumOfrain INTO [Temp review data] FROM [Forms]![Generate Weather
Data]![Me.tablename] " & _
"GROUP BY [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].[Calendar Date]
" & _
"HAVING ((([Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].[Calendar
Date]) " & _
"Between [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![StartDate] " & _
"And [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![EndDate])) " & _
"ORDER BY [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![Me.tablename].[Calendar Date];"

Concatenate the name from the list box into the string:
SQL ="SELECT ... FROM [" & [Forms]![Generate Weather
Data]![Me.tablename] & "] GROUP BY ...

The square brackets are needed if the table name contains non-standard
characters (e.g. a space.)

Allen,

I tried that (only in the From clause correct?) but now I get an error "...
cannot find field Me.tablename ireferred to in your expression".

Add the line:
Debug.Print SQL
after that large line of yours.

When it fails, open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G) and see what came out.
Does it look right? Does it work as a query?

Allen,

there is nothing in the Immediate Window. I am not sure why it thinks
Me.tablename is a field when it is in the form [Forms]![Generate Weather
Data]![Me.tablename]. is the syntax correct?

Allen,

I did the following and it works:

SQL = "SELECT [" & tablename & "].[Calendar Date], Round(Avg([" & tablename
& "].WS),2) AS AvgOfWS, " & _
"Round(Avg([" & tablename & "].WD),0) AS AvgOfWD, Round(Avg([" &
tablename & "].sigma),2) AS AvgOfsigma, " & _
"Round(Avg([" & tablename & "].ws_max),2) AS AvgOfws_max, Round(Avg([" &
tablename & "].temp_c),2) " & _
"AS AvgOftemp_c, Round(Avg([" & tablename & "].bar_press),0) AS
AvgOfbar_press, " & _
"Round(Sum([" & tablename & "].rain),2) AS SumOfrain INTO [Temp review
data] FROM [" & tablename & "] " & _
"GROUP BY [" & tablename & "].[Calendar Date] HAVING ((([" & tablename &
"].[Calendar Date]) " & _
"Between [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![StartDate] " & _
"And [Forms]![Generate Weather Data]![EndDate])) ORDER BY [" & tablename
& "].[Calendar Date];"

But I do not know why except maybe it was a syntax thing. Thank you for
your help.
