Query based on a parameter query, Using VBA how do I set the parameters

[Jim]

MS-Access 2002

I have a query (Q2) based on a parameter query (Q1) and need to set the
parameters within a VBA module. I am using ADO, and opening the query (Q2)
as a fordwardonly recordset.

Since Q1 isn't explictly opened in the VBA code, I'm not sure how to set
the parameters.

I do not want to run Q1 to load a table and then have Q2 based on the table
if I can avoid it. Nor do I want to place the parameters in a table and
have Q1 reference them there.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

In DAO you can open query2 that uses query1 with parameters, but there
are no parameters in query2. You just assign the parameter values to
the query2 QueryDef. E.g.:

dim qd as dao.querydef
set qd = db.querydefs("q uery2")
qd.parameters(" LastName")="Smi th"
qd.parameters(" IDNumber")=1234 5
set rs = qd.OpenRecordse t()

Perhaps you can do the same in ADO - just set the parameters for
query1, but set them in the ADO setup for query2.
