Many problems (Sql Statements)

[chongo 2002]

How do I get the results of a query to show in text boxes? The query works and shows the results but it also adds all the other fields in the database after the matches. I only want matches to show.

'sql statement
with db
Set rs3 = db1.OpenRecordset("SELECT * " & "FROM [entered] WHERE [RiderNumber] = '" & listry.List(I) & "'", dbOpenDynaset)

With rs3
.edit
txtname = ![RiderName]
txtnumber = ![RiderNumber]
txtother = ![other]
end with
end with

Also How do you use the .findfirst method for numbers? If I use a number field it says data type conversion error.

Hope someone can help.

Perhaps you can try this to show the fields in your Textboxes without adding anything to your database (Don¡¯t use .Edit or .AddNew or .Update or anything like those BEFORE you show the fields content.Use them ONLY when you want to add or modify something in the database.).

Code:
____________________________________________________________
With rs3
txtname = !RiderName
txtnumber = !RiderNumber
txtother = !other
End With
____________________________________________________________

You could try using .FindFirst in this way to locate numbers:

Code:
____________________________________________________________
¡®Suppose your RiderNumber field is a Byte field
.FindFirst ¡°RiderNumber = ¡° & Cbyte(105)

¡®Suppose your RiderNumber field is an Integer field
.FindFirst ¡°RiderNumber = ¡° & Cint(105)

¡®And so on
____________________________________________________________

By the way, did you actually use those square brackets in your code? Try deleting them.

The .findfirst method doesn't matter I want to use sql. But the numbers don't work in the sql query either. Data type conversion error.

And no I didn't use the brackets in my code I forgot to remove them, but they don't hurt anything.

Ahhhh, I didn¡¯t seem to get your message. I see where you went now.
If your "RiderNumer" field is a numeric (i.e., Byte, Integer, Long, etc.) one, try to use the SQL statement in this way:

Code:
____________________________________________________________

Set rs3 = db1.OpenRecordset("SELECT * " & "FROM [entered] WHERE [RiderNumber] = " & Val(listry.List(I)), dbOpenDynaset)

____________________________________________________________

N.B.: Listed items are strings. So when you said your SQL statement worked that implies that your "RiderNumber" field is a Text field. That is perhaps the reason why you got the error message with numbers in the SQL.

If you still have problems, tell me.

Wish you every success.
