Re: [MS_AccessPros] Run Sql statement in vba question

 

Jim-

Did you do this?

SQL = "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>""~"") AND (MSysObjects.Type)=5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"

It isn't the tilde, it' the quotation marks inside the string. In order to use quotation marks inside the string, you must double them like so: ""~"" Or you could use the apostrophe '~'.

 

What is happening is the SQL engine thinks the quotation mark before the tilde is terminating the string.

SQL = "SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MsysObjects WHERE (Left$([Name],1)<>"~") AND (MSysObjects.Type)=5 ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;"

 

DoCmd.RunSQL QSQL

 

Thank You for your help.
