I am new to aceess . I am writign a query in access for finding the last name mathcing with criteria using Like operator.

selct a,b,c from Table1 where last  name like '*"&  Paramter value &"*'

When in debug mode I can see teh in immediate window teh query and when i put this query in query window in access it is returning the
data also which is very good

but in Actual from where I am using a function

set rs = getlastname(LastName)--(Last name is the Paramet er in above query)

The function is as follows

Function getlastname(lastnamyName As String) As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim strsql As String
    Dim da As New DABase
 
 
    strsql = "SELECT *"
    strsql = strsql & " FROM tables1  "
    strsql = strsql & " WHERE (((lastname) like  ""*" & lastame & "*"")) ;"
 
    da.openConnection
    da.CommandText = strsql
    Set getlastname= da.openRecordset
    Set da = Nothing
 
End Function

after completion of this fun.. I agin come in my main form where this fn has een written

set rs = getlastname(LastName)-

after htis line rs.recordcount showing me as zero ??? so that is te reason run time error 3021 is coming..

Funny thing is if I remove liek operator it is wrking finme.

Request u r help

Hi, and Welcome to Bytes!

If you have copied and pasted your function accurately then you have a mis-spelt variable name in your LIKE clause:

strsql = strsql & " WHERE (((lastname) like ""*" & lastame & "*"")) ;"

should be

strsql = strsql & " WHERE (((lastname) like ""*" & lastname & "*"")) ;"

If this is the case, it also means that you are not using the OPTION EXPLICIT directive at the top of your code in the VBA Editor. If you were, the editor would itself pick up that you have an undeclared variable (which is what it will treat your misnamed variable as), in turn allowing you to see and fix the error before it causes you difficulties.

I may be wrong, as there are many, many spelling errors in your post and in the code (including the parameter name, which in your function is listed as lastnamyName). If you have copied in code by hand please don't - give us the actual code you are using, not a mis-spelt version of it. Saves a lot of our time!

@Stewart Ross Inverness

Sorry for mis-spelling, In the code it is right, now again I have searced on the net. For DAO we need to put * & for ADO we can use %.

Now it is wokring. Thanks for u r help Stewart.
