Ran into a problem, just as I thought I had it working. - Dim strCurrentFiscalYear As String
-
strCurrentFiscalYear = DLookup("[CurrentFiscalYear]", "YearReset", "[ID] = 1")
-
Dim strLastFiscalYear As String
-
strLastFiscalYear = strCurrentFiscalYear - 1
-
strNewRecordNumber = DMax("[RecordNumber]", "TblDocket", "[FiscalYear] = strLastFiscalYear") + 1
The problem I am running into is the strLastFiscalYe ar in the DMax field. The error I get is: Run Time error: 2471....The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error: 'strLastFiscalY ear'
What I am trying to accomplish is that for instance that the current fiscal year is 2009 saved in table named YearReset, in the field CurrentFiscalYe ar. When a user tries to enter a record for the last fiscal year - 2008, the dmax is or should look in the database table TblDocket, find the largest RecordNumber of the record that the Fiscalyear equals 2008.
I can get it to work if I would just put 2008 where strLastFiscalYe ar is but that would not help for next years.
Any suggestions? Thanks again.

Hi
Try this
Dim strLastFiscalYe ar As String
strLastFiscalYe ar = strCurrentFisca lYear - 1
strNewRecordNum ber = DMax("[RecordNumber]", "TblDocket" , "[FiscalYear] = " & strLastFiscalYe ar) + 1
strLastFiscalYe ar is a variable, you have made part of a literal string (it need concatenating into the string as above).
Also, I think 'strCurrentFisc alYear', 'strLastFiscalY ear' and 'strNewRecordNu mber' should be Integers not a strings ??
MTB
thanks mike! worked great. yes they should be integers. I am working on changing them now.
thanks again

is it possible to insert a value into a field when you append the new

Hi All,
I have come across some rather weird error that I can only assume is
something to do with my ADP file connecting to SQL Server 2000.
I'm using Access XP as my front end.
In simple terms:
I have a database which is in design for a new Development Request
system. The main 2 tables are linked one to many, by in this instance
say DWR_ID.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a very simple update statement (in Oracle) in jet

The root of my problem is that I'm trying to update a field on a table

Although I have all of the correct keys from the physical table joined
to the query in the dmax function, the code/ms access seems to ignore
the joins. As a result, all payees...

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.
