DLookUp Error message

Good day,
I have put the below into Module1 and get an error message "Run-Time
error '2001'"
"You canceled the previous operation". Can anybody tell me what is wrong
?

Sub test()
Dim varX As Variant
varX = DLookup("[LastName]", "tblQualityStaf f", "[EmployeeID] = 1")
MsgBox varX
End Sub

I've had this message. It seems to happen when the criteria
parameter has a data-type conflict with the table/query field.

Perhaps try

Dim EmpIDWanted as ...whatever [EmployeeID] field is specified as...
EmpIDWanted = 1
varX = DLookup("[LastName]", "tblQualityStaf f", _
"[EmployeeID] = " & EmpIDWanted

I am still struggling with trying to match a user supplied string with strings in a field of a table, where spaces are to be ignored. Arno suggested that I use the Dlookup function, but I apparently can't get its syntax right.

I have read with interest the many discussions of the 3048 Error: Cannot open any more databases. I understand how the number of open Table ID's causes the problem. My question has to do with the usage of the Elookup routine as a substitute for Dlookup. I read that Dlookup 'does not clean up after itself'. Most of the discussion centered around the use of Dlookup in queries or in the controlsource of form and report controls. My...

I've written this expression for a DLookup function. It works almost alright. What I'm trying to do is type in a description and the ID field (number) populates automatically. It works almost as I've said. It doesn't populate until I go to a new record. Then if I go back to the record the number is in the field. Instead of populating immediately it waits until I've created a new record. Am I making sense with this description. Here's...

I'm using dlookup when I enter a part description it adds the part number for me. I choose the part description from a combo...
