Dlookup with 2 criteria

MSeda

I have a loop that is controlled by a Dlookup statement with two criteria. Both criteria fields are checkboxes. I have tried an assortment of quotation marks in the criteria section and cannot get the Dlookup to run. My statement looks like this (I have removed the extraneous quotes since they are not working anyway):

Do Until IsNull(DLookup( "[PPO Part#]", "Quoted Parts Table", "[PPO Quote Acc] = Yes And [PPO Order Parts] = Yes"))

I've never quite understood the logic of the quotation marks in the criteria statement but it usually works after several tries, this is the first time I,ve used Dlookup with 2 criteria. Any help will be appreciated

The amended code should work for you.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Do Until IsNull(DLookup( _
  2.    Expr:="[PPO Part#]", _
  3.    Domain:="Quoted Parts Table", _
  4.    Criteria:="(([PPO Quote Acc]) And ([PPO Order Parts]))"))
I've assumed from your code that [PPO Quote Acc] and [PPO Order Parts] fields are both of type Boolean so will not need to be compared to Yes.
If they are text fields and you need to compare against the text "Yes" then that is different and will need a code change.

Two things:

Table and field names cannot contain blank spaces so they need to be inclosed in square brackets to show what they are.

Yes is text and all text has to be surrounded by single or double quotation marks (single inside a query).

therefore

Do Until IsNull(DLookup( "[PPO Part#]", "[Quoted Parts Table]", "[PPO Quote Acc] = 'Yes' And [PPO Order Parts] = 'Yes'"))

I missed out on the '[]' for the table name.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Do Until IsNull(DLookup( _
  2.    Expr:="[PPO Part#]", _
  3.    Domain:="[Quoted Parts Table]", _
  4.    Criteria:="(([PPO Quote Acc]) And ([PPO Order Parts]))"))
However, Yes can be a string but can also be an alternative for True - a predefined constant within VBA.
If you want Yes, the code above is ok, if you want "Yes" then change the last line to :-
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.    Criteria:="(([PPO Quote Acc] = 'Yes') And ([PPO Order Parts] = 'Yes'))"))
as shown by MMcCarthy above.

I have a field that retrieves information from an expression in a query. I have used a DLookup function to get the calculated field from the query. However, the relationship is 1-to-many so one site could have many units. How do I have the DLookUp field value change to a newly calcuated field when I navigate through the units? please see example below: On the Form: A site can have many units.

I have a table with 4 fields. Three are used for criteria. I can get the DLookup to work with 1 criteria with the following but can't get it to work with 2 or three. NumofAppts = DLookup("", "LookUpAppts", " = " & Forms!!NumofPeople) Can someone tell me how to add multiple criteria? I tried "And" but it doesn't seem to work.

Does DLookup work in an expression in a query? I have this expression -(DLookUp("","tblmaintabs","= ")) Which works fine as a calculated control on a form but when I try to use it in a query as an expression I don't get any result. I want to use the Sum of the result in a query on which I will base a report. TIA Tony
