Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] SQL

The actual code would look exactly like I showed, or at least it could.  rs(0) is the same as rs!FieldName.  It's a shortcut to typing out field names, because I'm lazy.  The number is a zero-based reference to the order of fields in the SELECT statement, so if you had

SELECT Field1, Field2...

rs(0) would return Field1, rs(1) would return Field2, and so on.

Paul,

Thanks for the info.  I was close.  I will make some adjustments.  I just have one specific question.

On the line Debug.Print rs(0), rs(1), ...

 

Will the actual code say Debug.Print rs   or will I have to put the   (0), rs(1)  .   Maybe I should say that I do not understand the " (0), rs(1) " part.  My reading on the internet did not clarify it for me.  Do I need to list an option for each record or is this something that prints out to indicate what record I am on?

 

Any help you could offer to increase my understanding would be great.

 

 

Bill

You can loop the recordset and either message box or debug.print the values.  This is my template code for a loop, with a debug. You can specify field names or use position as I did:

 

  Dim strSQL  As String

  Dim db      As DAO.Database

  Dim rs      As DAO.Recordset

  Set db = CurrentDb()

 

  strSQL = "SELECT...,"

  Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

  Do While Not rs.EOF

    Debug.Print rs(0), rs(1), ...

    rs.MoveNext

  Loop

  rs.Close

  set rs = nothing

  set db = nothing

In a Sub of Function, If I create a record set using SQL, is there anyway to actually view the results of the SQL Statement.  For example, if I try to pull 4 records, where can I see those 4 records?

 

Before I start to try to manipulate the records I would like to be able to know I am pulling the correct date.

 

Thanks,
