Problem with unbound form fields for search / building query in VBA

3 New Member
Hi, I am using unbound text boxes in the header of a form to allow the user to search on a number of fields. I am using VBA to build a query string based on these and it has been fine when comparing text fields on the main form but I have run in to trouble comparing date/time fields on a subform.
The subform is called Activity and I am comparing to the date/time field ActivityStartDa te.

This is the code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If Not IsNull(Me.searchFromDate) Then
  2.         varFromDate = Format(Me.searchFromDate, "mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn:ss")
  3.         strWhere = strWhere & "([Activity].Form![ActivityStartDate] >= " & varFromDate & ") AND "
  4.         End If
  5.  
(There is code later on to remove the trailing AND if it is at the end)

This gives me the error:
Run-time error 3075 Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression
'([Activity].Form![ActivityStartDa te] >= 02/12/2008 00:00:00)'

I've tried printing ActivityStartDa te and it's exactly the same date and format.
As the operator does seem to be there I can't see why I get this error message - can anyone shed any light?

Using Access 2007 on Windows Vista.

Thanks in advance
Craig

I have created a bound subform on an unbound masterform linked together with a common field (A store's identification number) using an unbound combobox on the masterform and an invisible field on the subquery, which filters for a particular store. The subform is in continuous mode. So, what you see when you select a store is a list of all the items that that have not been billed for. There is a simple yes no field that filters out all...

Here is my issue. I have created a form called “Search” that has several unbound combo boxes, one for each of the attribute that match a column in the Table . Each combo box has input from a separate table that limits what the uses can select. IE. The Genre table feeds a list of options for the Genre combo box. My goal is to have the user select the attributes they want to use as search criteria and then feed those selections from the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
