Custom Save Query function not working in Access2002.

Hi all,

I have a Access97 database that has a custom for for creating queries.  On the form is a button for activating the code.  The code is posted below.

It references the wzmain80.wlib_stUniquedocname.  

My problem is this.  I have migrated the application to Access2002.  This particular code no longer works.  I have tried adding the file wzmain80 into the references,  but as it is an assess97 mde file Access2002 won't reference it.

The users run the front end as a MDE as well.  How to I get this to work in Access2002.

Thanking you all in advance and greatfully appreciating all help.

Regards
Mavreich

I think the wzmain for Access 2002 is called ACWZMAIN.MDE, and should be in the Office10 folder in your Office installation directory.

Hi, shanesuebsahakarn

Thankyou for that pointer.  It was spot on.  However the only glitch is am having is that it will not select a unique save name for the query.

When the user saves the query it pops up a input window with a default save name.

Example:  Default safe name is Query1.  If there is a query already saved with the name then the next default save name should be Query2.

In this case it always comes up with Query1.

Below is the modified code.

Again i look forward to your responses.

On Error GoTo Error_cmdCreateQDF
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strName As String
   'first get a unique name for the querydef object
    strName = acwzmain.wlib_StUniqueDocName("Query1", acQuery)
     
   strName = InputBox("Please specify a query name", "Save As", strName)
   If Not strName = vbNullString Then
      'only create the querydef if user really wants to.
      Set db = CurrentDb
      Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef(strName, Me.txtSQL)
      qdf.Close
   Else
      'ok, so they don't want to
      'MsgBox "The save operation was cancelled." & vbCrLf & _

Hi shanesuebsahakarn,


Your code keeps coming up with query1 as well.  it does not increment.

Thanks for the help though.  It is appreciated.

Doh! The line:
If Val(Right$(qdf.Name,6)) > lngMax Then lngMax = Val(Right$(qdf.Name,6))

should read:
If Val(Mid$(qdf.Name,6)) > lngMax Then lngMax = Val(Mid$(qdf.Name,6))

Sorry about that!
