Re: [MS_AccessPros] Using a combo in a search string in vba

 

The first thing I would try is get rid of the ".value". Then add some debug.print statements which should always be included when writing code.

I have the following code that is used to search for records:

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()

Dim varWhere As Variant

    ' Initialize to Null

    varWhere = Null

 

   

   

    ' Do Issue Subject next

    If Not IsNothing(Me.txtIssueSubject) Then

        ' .. build the predicate

        ' Note: taking advantage of Null propogation

        '  so we don't have to test for any previous predicate

        varWhere = (varWhere + " AND ") & "([IssueSubject] LIKE '" & Me.txtIssueSubject & "*')"

    End If

   

    ' Do Issue Description next

    If Not IsNothing(Me.txtIssueDesc) Then

        ' .. build the predicate

        varWhere = (varWhere + " AND ") & "([IssueDescription] LIKE '" & Me.txtIssueDesc & "*')"

    End If

   

     If Not IsNothing(Me.cmbIssuer) Then

        ' .. build the predicate

        varWhere = "(UserID.Value = " & Me.cmbIssuer & ")"

    End If

   

    ' Check to see that we built a filter

    If IsNothing(varWhere) Then

        MsgBox "You must enter at least one search criteria.", vbInformation, gstrAppTitle

        Exit Sub

    End If

      ' See if any rows with a quick DLookup

    If IsNothing(DLookup("ServiceRequestID", "tblSystemServiceRequest", varWhere)) Then

        MsgBox "No Service Request meet your criteria.", vbInformation, gstrAppTitle

        Exit Sub

    End If

   

    ' Open Companies filtered

    ' Note: if form already open, this just applies the filter

    DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSystem_ServiecRequest", WhereCondition:=varWhere

    ' Done

    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name

 

  

End Sub

Almost everything works except for my combo box value. the cmbobox is called cmbIssuer and its records source is SELECT tblSystemUsers.UserID, tblSystemUsers.UserName FROM tblSystemUsers; But when I run it the search and include the combo box in the search criteria it errors: 

Run-time error '2471'

The expression you enter as query parameter produced this error: 'UserID.Value' 

The string for varWhere contains: (UserID.Value = 2)

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
