data type

I am getting a message that I have a 'data type error in criteria expression'. In the Access database, the issuenumber is defined as an autonumber, which is a long integer. The variable gintIssueNumber is define as 'Long' in a public statement.

This is the line that is giving me the error:

rst.Open "Select * from tblLog WHERE issuenumber = '" & gintIssueNumber & " ' ", cnn


This is the code that fills 'gintissuenumber':

gintIssueNumber = cboIssue.Text

Is the '.text' giving me the problem? If so, what can I use in its place?


smh

This better not be a spelling problem :D

Try using CLng(cboIssue.Text) - although this should cast anyway

AND take the spaces out of your SELECT statement "'" not " ' " at the end.

If that does not work, try taking out the single quotes altogether.

Cheers,

Paul.

You are the best! I'd marry you, if I wasn't already!

I removed the single quotes and it worked.

(By the way, it REALLY wasn't my spelling...it was the interns!)

Blush!

I just hope you are of the female gender;)

Paul.

P.S. I'm married too and I have four kids to prove it!

P.

Yes, I am of the female gender, and I have one son too. I'm stopping at 2 though! The next one's going to be a girl I hope.

Ha!

smh

That's how we ended up with four - two boys (three years and two years) so just one more try for girls - twin born on 4 September:D

Highly recommend it.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hopefully I will be lucky. Tripletts run on my side of the family, so I may just possibly end up with 4.

Even if the next one is a boy again, I'm done... I can't even imagine how much work twins are, when my 1 is a terror himself. (And he's only 9 months old! (Just learned how to crawl and he wants to tear anything and everything apart))

Got a lot of respect for ya!

smh
