SQL Update

I am attempting to update a table in Access/VBA using SQL. Here is the statement:

MySQL = "UPDATE ParsingTable SET ParsingTable.[Tier1] = intTier1, ParsingTable.[Tier2] = intTier2, ParsingTable.[Tier3] = intTier3, ParsingTable.[Tier4] = intTier4, ParsingTable.[Tier5] = intTier5 WHERE (((ParsingTable.doc_label) = strReference));"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL MySQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True

When I execute the SQL Update it asks me for "data input" for each of the variables intTier1 through intTier2 as well as strReference. All of the intTier1-5 variables are Dim as Integer and have values in them. strReference is DIM as String and has a value in it.

Why is the module asking for input values for all of my variables?

Thx

strReference = A.1.1.3 (for example).

However, I did the following and it worked:

MySQL = "UPDATE ParsingTable SET ParsingTable.Tier1 = " & intTier1 & ", ParsingTable.Tier2 = " & intTier2 & ", ParsingTable.Tier3 = " & intTier3 & ", ParsingTable.Tier4 = " & intTier4 & ", ParsingTable.Tier5 = " & intTier5 & " WHERE ParsingTable.doc_label = '" & strReference & "';"

It seems that because strReference is a text string wrapping " & strReference & " within ' ' is required. At any rate ti worked.

Thanks for looking at this.

  1. MySQL = "UPDATE ParsingTable SET ParsingTable.[Tier1] =" &  intTier1 & ", ParsingTable.[Tier2] =" & intTier2 & ", ParsingTable.[Tier3] = " & intTier3 & ", ParsingTable.[Tier4] = " & intTier4 & ", ParsingTable.[Tier5] =" & intTier5 & "  WHERE (((ParsingTable.doc_label) = strReference));"
  2.  


Good Luck

First, thank you for the help.

Second, for the variable strReference am I to assume that it also requires "& strReference &"?

When I left it as in your example I still recieved a prompt for input. When I used the "& strReference &" format I am receiving a error indicating I have a problem with '.' '!' or '()". Not sure where to go from here. Can you help?

Thx

Yes, the ' ' are required, but that has to do with the conversion to SQL. If you were only use the variable within VBA you'd be okay without them.
