Hi

You cant execute sql just like this.

To change a value in a table, you need to run sql query. You can use RecordSet or you can also use Execute command to run your query.

If , with your code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. if( check = true)
  2.  
you are trying to find out a check-box on your form is selected or not, then the syntax would be something like this.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If checkBoxName = -1  Then    //(-1 means it is selected) 
  2.    // Do something
  3.  
Hope it helps

Do so that within an SQL Statement in Access you would do the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. SELECT Calc:=IIF(tbl1.checkboxname=true,tbl.col1*tbl2.col2,0) FROM tbl1 LEFT JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.ID = tbl2.LinkID
  3.  
  4.  
You're going to have to have some primary key (i.e. ID) in tbl1 and a Linking ID that will relate the Primary ID in Table 1 to a Reference Key value in Table 2. This way you can have all the child records related to the Parent record all associated together. If there is a One to one relationship, then you'll need to replace LEFT JOIN with INNER JOIN and have the common ID's between the two tables be the same.

Hope that helps,

You've probably got this from the other posts, but SQL doesn't support an IF statement.

What it can handle is returning different values based on a condition. This is done within the IIf() function. The syntax is basically :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. IIf(Condition, ValueIfTrue, ValueIfFalse)
