Need Help with Update Query
Hello again Experts,
I am trying to create an update query (see code below) that take information of the open form and updates my table. I believe the code is self explanatory. It takes the MMS# and and finds it in the table then it should take the OnHand value and minus the Qty1 and update the OnHand value to the new value. Whenever i run this query it keeps asking me for the values (cant find Qty1, etc).
Thanks for the help,

UPDATE tblPaperCost SET tblPaperCost.OnHandQty = [OnHandQty]-[Forms]![WHReq].[Form]![Qty1]
WHERE (((tblPaperCost.MMSNo)=[Forms]![WHReq].[Form]![MMS1]));

Nope still prompts for parameter value. :(
Is that Form open when the query runs ?

Yeah it is
OK ...for the Text box that is holding Qty ... give the text a Name of txtQty1 ... then try this:
UPDATE tblPaperCost SET tblPaperCost.OnHandQty = [OnHandQty]-[Forms]![WHReq
WHERE (((tblPaperCost.MMSNo)=[Fo
mx
UPDATE tblPaperCost SET tblPaperCost.OnHandQty = [OnHandQty]-[Forms]![WHReq
WHERE (((tblPaperCost.MMSNo)=[Fo

I have tried that already as well, just prompts for txtQty1 instead.. Is there maybe VBA code that does the same thing I could try?
Can you:
1) Compact & Repair (*** to shrink the size),
2) Zip up the MDB (*** to further shrink the size)
3) Attach the file for upload here (using the 'Attach File function below) ... removing any sensitive data of course.
4**** And please give a clear explanation of exactly how to reproduce the problem or what you are trying to do.
NOTE: If you have an A2007 ACCDB, please convert to A2003 MDB.

I wont be able to send it to you, on top of having user-level security the tables are linked :(
As a Test ... what happens if you do this:
UPDATE tblPaperCost SET tblPaperCost.OnHandQty = [OnHandQty]-1
WHERE (((tblPaperCost.MMSNo)=[Fo
?
UPDATE tblPaperCost SET tblPaperCost.OnHandQty = [OnHandQty]-1
WHERE (((tblPaperCost.MMSNo)=[Fo
?

Prompts for MMS1
