Hi,

I am wanting to open a recordset using a SQL statement but am having
problems with the formatting of the expression. Could someone tell me what
I am doing wrong? This is what I have:

Dim DB as Database
Dim rstInvoices As DAO. Recordset

Set DB = CurrentDb
Set rstInvoices = DB.OpenRecordset "SELECT * FROM Invoices WHERE
(((Invoices.[Invoice Number]) Between
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog!FromInvoice And
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog!ToInvoice) And ((Invoices.Type)="INV"))" ,
dbOpenDynaset


I get a message that it expects the end of statement when Access gets to the
second " in front of INV. How should I write this instead?

I want to loop through the Invoice records between [FromInvoice] and
[ToInvoice] on the frmPrintReportsDialog form and print out each invoice
separately so that the page number information is correct for each
customer's Invoice Statement. The control source for the page information
on the report is: ="Page " & [Page] & " of " & [Pages]

Joan,

Two things jump out to me. You seem to have an uneven number
of right and left parenthesis. Also you are using double
quotes around INV and you should only use singles for text
values when you are building the string. Try this...

Set rstInvoices = DB.OpenRecordset "SELECT * FROM Invoices
WHERE
(Invoices.[Invoice Number] Between
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog!FromInvoice And
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog!ToInvoice) And (Invoices.Type=
'INV')" ,
dbOpenDynaset

Hi Gary,

I tried using the SQL you sent in my code and when I press "Enter" I get a
Compile Error message that states : "Expected : end of statement" The
highlight ends after this part of the statement: ...'INV')".

The SQL I used was:
Set rstInvoices = DB.OpenRecordset "SELECT * FROM Invoices WHERE
(Invoices.[Invoice Number] Between Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog2!FromInvoice
And Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog2!ToInvoice) And (Invoices.Type = 'INV')",
dbOpenDynaset

Do you have any further recommendations?
Joan

Here you go. Forgot to concantenate the form variables in.
This compiles on mine...

Set rstInvoices = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Invoices
WHERE(Invoices.[Invoice Number] Between " &
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog2!FromInvoice & " And " &
Forms!frmPrintReportsDialog2!ToInvoice & ") And
(Invoices.Type = 'INV')", dbOpenDynaset)
