I'm trying to do something which seems like it should be really easy, but I
can't seem to figure it out. Basically I have an unbound form with the
usual combo boxes, option groups text boxes, etc. Depending on what the
user selects and types in it will build a SQL. But one query could be
drastically different from another (different tables, fields) so I can't
just use a form. I can build the SQL statement based on the input, but I
can't figure out how to display it. All I need is a datasheet of the the
fields, much like one would get if you were click on a saved query. What
sort of code would just show the results of the SQL statement? I thought
perhaps a db.execute might work, but it doesn't seem to. Any help is
appreciated.
TIA,

Save the SQL as a query (through code), then open it with docmd.openquery.
This will display a datasheet-like view of the saved query.

Create a query - "qryDummy" -it can do anything.
When you have built your SQL string, set the SQL property of qryDummy to
your string. Run the query using docmd.openquery.
Something like:
Dim strSQL
strSQL = "Select [companyname], [contactname] from Table1 order by
[contactname]"
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryDummy")
qdf.SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryDummy")
Set qdf = Nothing
