Re: [MS_AccessPros] db.execute query not working

Now I understand, the query is a SELECT query.

Follow up question:

Is it better to create the query in the VBA code or is it better to create the query in query design and save it and then call it from the vba code.

What is the better method or it makes no difference?.

If your query is a SELECT query, then you cannot use Execute. What is the SQL of your query?

I recall that it is better to use db.excute for a query than docmd.openquery.

I am struggling with the following, the same query works when I run it with DOcmd, but does not work with db.execute:

DoCmd.OpenQuery "mltc1bp2", , acEdit (THIS WOKRS)
CurrentDb.Execute "mltc1bp2" (THIS DOES NOT WORK)

also tried
set DB=currentdb()
DB.execute and it does not work either.

However I have other queries that work fine with db.execute,.

What might be the reason?.
