Steve, have you resolved? It's been awhile. I think your problem is two-fold. You must change the SQL assignment as I showed you to be syntactically correct... and this line: DoCmd.OpenQuery strSql Should be DoCmd.OpenQuery cstrQryName But ... I am not really sure what you are trying to accomplish, it seems pretty convoluted even for my taste, and I have an advanced degree in Convolution. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Steve Turner Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 6:01 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Need Some help Hey Guys, Need some help here. I've tried everything I can find but I don't understand some of it. I have a table with project year, project Month and the Month Start Date and Month End Date's for a number of years. I am trying to read this table MonthlDates for the ProjYear And ProjMonth to get the Month Start and End Days. I have a query built that pulls this data and a query table appears in Access 2010 with the data in it as a one line record. How do I read this data into a variable MSD and MED so I can Update another table called Variables we use to run reports from.? Code works till I get to the how to read query for MSD and MED. Dim rst As Recordset Dim strSql As String, strParm As String Dim strMessage As String Dim intCommand As Integer Dim qdf As QueryDef Const cstrQryName As String = "Project Month And Year" 'sets the project year and month PY = ProjYear PM = projMonth 'Update the variables table Set rstVariables = db.OpenRecordset("Variables") With rstVariables .Edit !PY = PY 'ProjYear !PM = PM 'projMonth .Update End With 'Query MonthlyDates table for Month Start and End Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(cstrQryName) With DoCmd .SetWarnings False .OpenQuery (cstrQryName), , acEdit .SetWarnings True End With 'how to read query for MSD and MED??? Set rstEnd = db.OpenRecordset(cstrQryName) strSql = ("select *,(cstrQryName)") '<--MS ERROR can't find (cstrQryName) DoCmd.OpenQuery strSql ' want to fill in these variables to update table Variables MSD = MonthStartDate MED = MonthEndDate Steve A.
