The Sub is expecting you to pass Spinner (a string variable) I don't think you are passing any values.

Yes, AricC is probably right. If not, please provide more specific information about where the error occurs.

I thought that the defined strSQL is passing a value each time it looks into the table and pulls the data that is requested and that is the value that is being passed the error occurs at the first Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL), however before each of those statements the database is return the values that it pulled from the database.......

I don't get it

What we need to know is what line of code gives the error message. When Excel gives an error message, it also hylights a line of code that caused the error. Which line is it?

When I compile this code the run time error appears when I click debug it hightlight in yellow the first Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

Well, I'm a little flummoxed. What reference did you add, so that objects like Recordset were defined?

Also, do this so we have more information:

1. In the VBE IDE, right-click on the menubar and choose Customize
2. Select the Commands Tab
3. Select the Debug Category
4. Drag the compile project button up to the toolbar and drop it next to the run
5. Close
6. Press the Compile Project Button
7. Do you get any error messages

Finally, db is not defined in your Sub, is it a global? How is it defined?
Thanks! --Sam

Well, at a simple level, this is just telling you that you've left out one or more parameters of the OpenRecordset method. It shouldn't be hard to check the syntax and see what parameters are required.

The contents of strSQL are irrelevant at this point - it is a string, and that's all you need to know here. So you have provided one string parameter - what else is required? In fact, depending on your settings, as soon as you type the "(" VBA should show you the parameter list.
