<div>
Try this :<br />
<br />
MyVar=30<br />
&quot;Select * from TableName where RecNum = &quot;&nbsp;&amp; MyVar<br />

</div>


Try this :

MyVar=30
"Select * from TableName where RecNum = " & MyVar


<div>
As you are passing a query to a recordset via a string you have to pass the numerical value as a string so:<br />
<br />
qry = &quot;SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE RecNum = &quot;&nbsp;&amp; _<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; str(RecNum)<br />

</div>


As you are passing a query to a recordset via a string you have to pass the numerical value as a string so:

qry = "SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE RecNum = " & _
      str(RecNum)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have two variables that I would like to use to select records in a query. One of them is a string variable (e.g., strName) and the other is a number (e.g.,RecNum). I can get the following to work: &quot;Select * from TableName where name = '&quot; &amp;&nbsp;strName &amp;&nbsp;&quot;'&quot;. I can also get results with &quot;Select * from TableName where RecNum = (for example)30&quot;. What I cannot figure out is how to get the proper syntax using the variable RecNum rather than a specific numerical value.<br />
Please help.<br />

Numerical values in queries

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
