I will run two "make-table" query with the same criteria
I call those two query from a form with
DoCmd.OpenQuery
the criteria in the query is twice "[Entrer No CRA]"
where and how could I save this constant (write in the msgbox) to call it
again in the next query ?

Thanks for any help.
 
Make the criteria in the form of FORMS!formNameHere!controlNameHere

as long as the said form is open (can be invisible, if you wish).

Fill the control with the wanted value, then run the two DoCmd commands.

Why are you making tables? You've described 'how' you are trying to solve
some problem, but not the underlying issue.

If you'll provide more specific description of the issue you're working on,
folks here may be able to offer more specific suggestions...

I'd suggest instead putting an unbound textbox on the Form, and use a
criterion referencing it. Instead of a criterion of [Entrer No CRA] use
something like

[Forms]![YourFormName]![YourTextboxName]


One concern: I'd be very very reluctant to use MakeTable queries in any
production database. They bloat the database, clutter it with new tables, and
they are very rarely actually needed; there's not much that you can do with a
Table that cannot also be done with a properly designed Select Query
referencing existing tables. What are these two new tables, and why do you
feel that you need them?
 
I will first thank you for your help
Regarding your answer, I will be able to make oly one “MakeTable Queryâ€
But I will explain you why I need a MakeTable queries. I have two table

Table A
CRA N° object_Id application date
1 10
1 11
1 12
2 11
2 21
3 10
3 12
3 32

Table B
CRA N° test_item CRA Status
1 test 100 x
2 test 200 y
3 test 300 z

I will first retrieve all object_Id from one CRA N°  I create a table
containing those objects_Id
When I will make a report containing each objects & for each one all CRA N°
associate
Did you see a other way to do it ?

Yes. Create an appropriate Query.

Your MakeTable query already contains all the information that you need, just
as a SELECT QUERY. You do not need to write all that data wastefully to a new
table in order to create a Report; just base the report directly on the query.

I'm not sure I understand your logic though.
 
I do not really see how
I will have first to ask the user which CRA_N° to retrieve all object_Id
associated
When I will have retrieve for each object_Id all CRA_N° & test_item =

After the first question (example 3)
3 10
3 12
3 32

=====> Results
1 10 test 100
3 10 test 300
1 12 test 100
3 12 test 300
3 32 test 300
