Hello everyone. i have a fom and subform (they are not linked).The subform has a date field named StartDate. i have a button on the form that when clicked will change the recordset of the subform to show StartDate of today. When i hit the command button, the subform becomes blank.Its driving me crazy.Here is my code: - Private Sub cmdToday_Click()
-
-
Dim sSQL As String
-
-
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM QueryCases WHERE QueryCases.StartDate = Date()"
-
-
Forms!ViewCases![ViewCasesSubform].Form.RecordSource = sSQL

End Sub
Date() is an embedded function, that needs to be exposed as a parameter within the SQL string. Try the syntax this way. - sSQL = "SELECT * FROM QueryCases WHERE QueryCases.StartDate = " & Date()

Are you sure the query returns any records?
Did you run it in query builder?

As pDog says, you need the RESULTS of the Date() function added to your SQL string (IE it is for VBA to resolve not for the SQL interpreter). However, as a date literal, it should also be enclosed in '#' characters and formatted in M/D/Y format for SQL (See Literal DateTimes and Their Delimiters (#).). - sSQL = "SELECT * " & _
-
"FROM QueryCases " & _
-
"WHERE [StartDate] = " & Format(Date(), '\#m/d/yyyy\#')

Actually, I just ran some tests and, certainly for me, the SQL interpreter DOES resolve Date() correctly when done as you have done. This means it doesn't need to be treated as a literal (it still can be but shouldn't NEED to be). I can't see what's wrong with your SQL. Is it possible that the reference to the control is wrong (even then, why would it change at all if the reference were wrong)? Anyway, in case it helps, check out Referring to Items on a Sub-Form.
Thank you so much for your help. do you think you could look at my file. i couldnt attach it here, it is too large - the link is below. i would really appreciate it.

I downloaded your file, but could not open it because I have Access 2000 and you must have Access 2003. Sorry.

If you leave instructions as to where to look inside the database (You haven't referred to any query by name), and the db is 2003 & not 2007, then I'll have a look for you from home (when I get there of course). I'd rather not spend ages just hunting around for the relevant part of the database though.
Thanks guys i got it - here is the code: - Dim sSQL As String
-
Dim viewToday
-
viewToday = Format(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")
-
-
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM QueryCases WHERE QueryCases.StartDate = #" & viewToday & "#;"
-
Me![ViewCasesSubform].Form.RecordSource = sSQL

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

I have an unbound main form with an unbound subform.
frmProjects
fsubProjectList
Using combo boxes, the user can select several search criteria on
frmProjects and then click a command button. The command button passes
the criteria as a string to a query. A subform, which is based on this
query, shows the results of the search.

I have a sub form that references a query to get the results. However,
