Help! I don't know why this isn't working:
Private Sub Combo9_Change()
Dim UsersCourseSele ction As String
UsersCourseSele ction = Me("Combo9").Va lue
Combo13.Visible = True
'the following SQL thing is all on one line in the actual code.
DoCmd.RunSQL ("INSERT INTO TEMP(courseCode , studentID) SELECT
studentsInCours es.courseCode, studentsInCours es.studentID FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE (courseCode=Me! Combo9.Value);" )
End Sub
The combo box correctly reads the data into the variable, but for some
reason the SQL line doesn't read the value. I also tried the following:
Private Sub Combo9_Change()
Dim UsersCourseSele ction As String
UsersCourseSele ction = Me("Combo9").Va lue
Combo13.Visible = True
'the following SQL thing is all on one line in the actual code.
DoCmd.RunSQL ("INSERT INTO TEMP(courseCode , studentID) SELECT
studentsInCours es.courseCode, studentsInCours es.studentID FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE (courseCode=Use rsCourseSelecti on);")
End Sub
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED: When the query runs it prompts for the value, then
inserts the proper data according to the courseCode that I enter.
Is there a better way to get the variable information in there?

You are reading in the variable correctly with the first part of the code.
however in your RunSQL command you have everything within the quotation
marks "" therefore it is taken literally (a string) and does not use the
value stored in the UsersCourseSele ction variable.
Have another variable strSQL (as string)
build this variable as (I've broken this down to really show things, you
could do it all in one hit if you like. The following would be three lines
of code)
strSQL = ("INSERT INTO TEMP(courseCode , studentID) SELECT
studentsInCours es.courseCode, studentsInCours es.studentID FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE (courseCode= "
strSql = strSql & UsersCourseSele ction
strSql = strSql & " )"
note how the literal strings are encased in quotes and the variables are
not.
you can then easily test eaxctly what data is being fed to the RunSql
command with a
debug.print strSql
then simply
DoCmd.RunSQL strSql

It is because you have included the "reference" to the value inside a quoted
string. Try this, instead, which will pick up the value from the Combo and
concatenate it into the string.
DoCmd.RunSQL ("INSERT INTO TEMP(courseCode , studentID) SELECT
studentsInCours es.courseCode, studentsInCours es.studentID FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE (courseCode=" & Me!Combo9 & ");")
I removed ".Value" -- that's the default property, so you don't need to code
it specifically.

I tried both of your answers (practically the same.) Thanks. It still
doesn't work. Here's what I did and then I'll tell you what happened:
Private Sub cmboSelectCours e_Change()
Dim strSql As String
Dim courseChoice As String

strSql = strSql & courseChoice
strSql = strSql & ");"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSql
End Sub
I got a run time error 3464 Data Type Mismatch in Expressions. I thought it
might be the fact that Course Code is a string with only numbers and VBA may
be interpreting it as a number. So I tried
str(courseChoic e) but that didn't do the trick either.
I'll look up the error code. Thanks. Oh, I did get it out to an append
action but it found zero records, yet I know there are almost fifty records.

RunSQL (which can be run from a macro) doesn't know which
form 'Me' is. If you want to refer to a control in RunSQL,
you need to use Forms!myform!my ctl.
Or you can use Me!myctl in VBA to get a value, like you
have done, and then use that value in RunSQL or Execute:
.... (courseCode = " & UsersCourseSele ction & ") ...
(david)
With RunSQL, you can either refer to a fixed value, like '3',
or to a VBA function, or to a control on a form. On any form.

Here is your answer: I thought it might be the fact that Course Code is a string with only numbers and VBA may
be interpreting it as a number.
When you write the where clause for a variable that is a Number
DATATYPE, you write it outside the quotes, as indicated above.
.... Where CourseCode = " & UsersCourseSele ction & ");"
The resulting SQL clause, with data, will look like this ...
..... Where (CourseCode =12345);"
However, if the variable is a string datatype (even if it's just
numbers in the string), you must write the clause a bit differently:
WHERE (courseCode= '" & UsersCourseSele ction & "');"
With spaces added for clarity it looks like this:
WHERE (courseCode= ' " & UsersCourseSele ction & " ' );"
The resulting SQL clause, with data, will look like this ...
..... Where (CourseCode ='12345');"
note the CourseCode value is within single quotes.
The entire SQL should look like this:
strSql = "INSERT INTO TEMP(studentID, courseCode) SELECT
studentsInCours es.studentID, studentsInCours es.courseCode FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE(studentsI nCourses.course Code='"
strSql = strSql & courseChoice & "');"
See Access help files on
Where clause + restrict data to a subset of records + Text Datatype
I hope this helps.

Richard,
I always create an SQL string so I can see the actual values that
were pulled from controls, et cetera. Try this.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO TEMP(courseCode , studentID) SELECT
studentsInCours es.courseCode, studentsInCours es.studentID FROM
studentsInCours es WHERE (courseCode=Me! Combo9.Value);"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
Then that combo box value can be examined in the debugger and the
problem will probably be obvious to you.
