How Do I creat a query in VB on the fly

[DAHMB]

I want to create a sql qry in vb that will give me info that I can use further down in the code.

I want to access the fields Rank and HireDate in my query qryEmployees for the EmployeeID used in my form that I am running the code from (these fields are not used in the form but EmployeeID from the same query is). I then want to use the values obtained freom these fields in an If statement in my code.

Thanks
Dan

Warning this is air code
Replace YourTableName, YourForm and YourControl with your own names.

dim db as dao.database, rs as dao.recordset
set db = currentdb()
set rs = db.openrecordset("YourTableName")
rs.movefirst
do while not rs.eof
if rs!EmployeeID = forms!YourForm!YourControl then
 
add your code here
 
rs.movelast
else
rs.movenext
end if
loop
 
rs.close
set rs = nothing
set db = nothing
 
rest of your code here

I suspect you are better off simply using the DLookup() function.
