put SQL statement into a variable -- Please answer!!!

[Bebe]

How do I put a select statement into a variable? Do I declare it and with what?

SELECT COUNT (*)as 'Your a Lammo' from dbo.vw_Lammo
Where vendor_err='x' and created_dt>@FromDate

How would I put this into a variable? or the count of this into a variable in SQL?

Private sSQL as String
Private rData as Recordset

sSQL = "SELECT......whatever"


Set rData = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL)


Hope it helps

if you are trying to post a variable's value in the SQL statement, the simply concatenate the text with the variable in it. eg: "SELECT * FROM tblTable WHERE Field1='" & strVarName & "'"

If you are trying to do something else, please be a little more specific as to what you are trying to achieve.

Have Fun!

Here's what I did

Declare @FirstQuery int

SELECT @FirstQuery =(SELECT COUNT (*)as 'Your a Lammo' from dbo.vw_Lammo
Where vendor_err='x' and created_dt>@FromDate)

And this worked!!!

Thanks for all the replies.

This was a stored procedure doing a query to get a count.
