ADO-SQL LIKE

[GAVO-UK]

Hey.

Using Access ADP and MSDE.

can some one please tell me what is wrong with this SQL string using
ADO. I get an error somewhere around the LIKE statement.

.Source = "SELECT tblCustomer.Fir stName,
tblCustomer.Las tName, tblCustomer.Pos tCode " & _
"FROM tblCustomer " & _
"WHERE (FirstName LIKE '%" &
Form("txtSearch FirstName") & "%');"
Thanks a lot.

My guess is that there is something wrong with
Form("txtSearch FirstName")
as I have tested your syntax and it seems to work.
What is Form? Do you mean Me.txtSearchFir stName.Value or
Me.txtSearchFir stName.Text? Could you use just txtSearchFirstN ame?
Could Me.txtSearchFir stName.Value be NULL?

I would try
debug.print "SELECT tblCustomer.Fir stName,
tblCustomer.Las tName, tblCustomer.Pos tCode " & _
"FROM tblCustomer " & _
"WHERE (FirstName LIKE '%" &
Form("txtSearch FirstName") & "%');"
and examine the string carefully.

Thanks Lylefair.
The code was fine, the problem was that I was running the code from a
"onClick" on a label and thefore the text box "txtSearchFirst Name"
never lost its focus and I believe did not save the value, so what I
did is, I set the focus on a different control before running the SQL
and its now working.

Thanks
