Question

VBA/Excel SQL Query

Asked by: SaxonNZ

Hi all :)

Just a quick VBA/Excel Question. I'm fairly new to VBA.

I'm currently trying to query an informix database, where as the user would put the specific date range they require in two textboxes, i,e '1/5/2007' '31/5/2007'. Then they would hit the refresh button and the query would use the values they just entered.

My main problem so far is getting the correct syntax for the SQL query to use the values in the textboxes. The particular piece of code  in question follows.

Public Sub HaweraSales()

    Dim obj As Object
    Dim rec As ADODB.Recordset
    Set obj = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
   
    obj.Open "dsn=p615;"
   
    obj.BeginTrans
    obj.Execute ("select spddate, sphprodno, sum(spdvalue) sales, sum(spdgrossprofit) profit from salesbyperiod where sphwhseno = " & Chr(34) & "HWF" & Chr(34) & " and sphdepartment = " & Chr(34) & "50" & Chr(34) & " and spddate >=" & Chr(34) & Me.txtDate & Chr(34) & "  and spddate <='" & Chr(34) & Me.txtDate1 & Chr(34) & " group by 1,2 into temp a1 with no log")

  obj.CommitTrans

Me.txtDate and Me.txtDate1 being the text boxes in question. It gives me an error saying - Compile Error - Invalid use of Me Keyword. I understand that Me cant be used in modules?

Any possible alternative syntax that does the same thing? I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any possible help anyone can give.

You are right that "Me cannot be used in modules". To solve this problem, try to supply the form as a parameter to the method, as in the following reference:

Thanks!

Okay i gave that solution a go. Gives me a new error now.

Compile Error: User-defined type not defined. Highlights this line as the problem.
Public Sub HaweraSales(objForm As Form)

Any ideas?

Alright, i think i found a solution to my above issue. As in setting a reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.7.

As seen here: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40704

Except when i go to select that particular reference it tells me : Name Conflicts with Existing Module, Project, or Object Library.

I then renamed the project via Tools -> VBAProject Properties to something different. Then went to reselect the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.7, and it still gives me the same Name conflict error. Any ideas?

 

by: gbshahaqPosted on 2007-05-08 at 03:48:56ID: 19048749

You cannot choose more than one of the same library (ie multiple versions)

You must have another one selected - deselect this first, then choose your 2.7 version

 

by: SaxonNZPosted on 2007-05-08 at 13:16:07ID: 19052734

Thanks for the help

I have solved the naming conflict error. Still giving me a User Type not defined Error however. Even after i have set the reference.

The break is once again on this line.
