I keep getting a Type Mismatch error when i run this recordset

[James Blue]

Dim m_MeetingName, m_City, m_title As String
Dim m_sql As Long
Dim dbs As Database, rst, rst2 As Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Related Conference Categories", dbOpenTable)

rst.MoveFirst
Do Until rst.EOF
m_City = "*"
m_title = "*"
m_MeetingName = rst("RelatedConference")
MsgBox rst("RelatedConference")



m_sql = "SELECT Count([Sourcecodes Test].ClientID) AS CountOfClientID FROM ([Related Conference Categories] INNER JOIN [Sources Test] ON [Related Conference Categories].RelatedConference = [Sources Test].[Related Conferences]) INNER JOIN [Sourcecodes Test] ON [Sources Test].[Source Code] = [Sourcecodes Test].SourceCode WHERE ((([Sources Test].[Related Conferences]) '" & m_City & "' & '" & m_MeetingName & "' & '" & m_title & "' ));"

Check the data type of your table if they are matching your vba codes or not, mostly this is cause by the variables compare to the table data types are not the same.

Also, please use CODE TAGS ([CODE ] & [/ CODE]) when you are posting codes.

I have NOT attempted to duplicate this situation or run the code. I have not tested my code. Without knowing where it fails, I do note the following:
1) DIM Statements may not be correct. The statement

Dim m_MeetingName, m_City, m_title As String

only declares m_title as String. The other two variables are Variant. This also occurs in another DIM Statement.

2)

m_City = "*"
m_title = "*"

never change, and should be moved out of the Do Until ... loop

3) The WHERE clause of the SQL assigned into m_sql seems to be wrong. If I assume [Related Conferences] has the value 'ABCDEFXYZ' and m_MeetingName the value 'CDE' then the WHERE clause is

... WHERE (((ABCDEFXYZ) '* ' & ' CDE ' & '*' ))

I think it should be more like

... WHERE (('ABCDEFXYZ') LIKE '*CDE*'))

which would be

m_sql = "... WHERE ((([Sources Test].[Related Conferences]) LIKE '*" & m_MeetingName & "*'));"

in the m_sql = ... statement.

Could you do a Debug.Print of m_sql or a MsgBox m_sql after the m_sql = "SELECT ...;" statement and post the result?
