Having a problem

Hey so this is part of an assignment which I have no idea what to do with it...can anyone explain it to me in english that I understand....Thanks

One subform should allow selection (using an SQL query) of any attribute (field) from a table of your choice with any value (i.e SQL query with variable WHERE clause values) from ONE table with the result displayed to a datagrid. This will require a choice of the attribute from a list, the operation (=, > , < etc) cloasen from a list and the attribute value entered.

Thread moved to Database Development forum (the "VB6" forum is meant for questions which don't fit in more specific forums)

You are being asked to build a string containing an SQL statement, using the fieldname/operator/value that the user selected.

The format of the SQL statement (when built) will be something like this:
"SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE fieldname = value"

You may find it useful to take a look at the articles in the SQL section of our Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (at the top of this forum)
