The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Query that calls a function gets complex error....

Asked by ajaeclarke in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: complex, error, expression, functions

Hi experts

I have a query....

SELECT tblSuppliers.SupplierID, shnCombine("tblSuppliersSub","SupplierID",[tblSuppliers.SupplierID],"ContactFName") AS Corr, tblSuppliersSub.ContactLName
FROM tblSuppliers INNER JOIN tblSuppliersSub ON tblSuppliers.SupplierID = tblSuppliersSub.SupplierID
GROUP BY tblSuppliers.SupplierID, shnCombine("tblSuppliersSub","SupplierID",[tblSuppliers.SupplierID],"ContactFName"), tblSuppliersSub.ContactLName
HAVING (((tblSuppliers.SupplierID)=[forms]![frmSuppliersNew]![SupplierID]))
ORDER BY shnCombine("tblSuppliersSub","SupplierID",[tblSuppliers.SupplierID],"ContactFName");

This is the function that the query calls (I got this from an wonderful Expert here on EE)....

Function shnCombine(strTable As String, strIDField As String, strIDValue As Long, strGetField As String) As String
Dim rst As dao.Recordset
Dim strCombine As String

'Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from tblSuppliersSub where SupplierID=" & Me!SupplierID & " and YesNofield = true")

Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT DISTINCTROW [" & strGetField & "] FROM [" & strTable & "]WHERE [" & strIDField & "]=" & strIDValue And tblSuppliersSub.ReceivesCorr = True)

While Not rst.EOF
 strCombine = strCombine & rst(strGetField) & " and "
 rst.MoveNext
Wend
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
If strCombine <> "" Then strCombine = Left$(strCombine, Len(strCombine) - 4)
shnCombine = strCombine
End Function

When I run the query I get this message...

This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables.

The query was working okay until I needed to put the Where ReceivesCorr = True in the function.  I only want to combine the suppliers that Receives Correspondene checkbox is true.

I hope I have provided enough information...if not let me know...:-)
