Trying to create a DLookup wiht multiple criteria

121 New Member
I have a query that I'm trying to update with a dlookup with multiple criteria

This is the string:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. EVNT_DT: DLookUp("[Date]","[LU - Quarter Dates]","( [PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgmt_Fees].EVNT_QTR=[LU - Quarter Dates].[Quarter]) &  ([PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgmt_Fees].[EVNT_YEAR]=[LU - Quarter Dates].[YEAR])")

When i run it it says it can't find the name PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgm t_Fees.EVNT_QTR .

But I know the names are right, I've checked them three times.


Does anyone have an idea what's wrong? Is it the wrong syntax or something?

Are the Tables [LU - Quarter Dates] And [PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgm t_Fees] related? If so, create a Query using both Tables and including any relevant Fields. Specify this Query as your Domain instead of [LU - Quarter Dates]. If they are not, I'm not sure that you can what you are requesting.

You're using the ampersand character (&) instead of the SQL AND operator. This will have the effect of concatenating the two criteria as strings instead of performing a logical AND on the results.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. EVNT_DT: DLookUp("[Date]", _
  2.                  "[LU - Quarter Dates]", _
  3.                  "([PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgmt_Fees].EVNT_QTR=[LU - Quarter Dates].[Quarter]) " & _
  4.                  "AND " & _
  5.                  "([PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgmt_Fees].[EVNT_YEAR]=[LU - Quarter Dates].[YEAR])")

Of course, as you're trying to access fields from a table that isn't referenced in the DLookup function anyway ([PRC_15011 - Find_Vendor_Mgm t_Fees]), it won't work as I expect you intend. It looks as if you are after something a little more complicated than you've assumed.
You will need to build some sort of query that connects the two tables before trying this.

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.

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.

Wouldn't ya know it. Posting a question on my first day of "ExpertDum" :) How do you use DLookup with multiple criteria from the same table? I have a report and I want a text box to display the weekly totals for a given employee. Here is what I have so far in the Control Source... =DLookUp("","qryMembersTotals","=Report!") And I want to add this... =Report! Thanks, (Soon to be UnExperted) Brad.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
