Calling Parameters for a pass through query from a form IN MS Access 2003

You can't add an ADO connection "to a form". An ADO connection is just an object that you build using VBA. That connection can be used to connect to a database.

You CAN set the Recordset of an Access form to a Recordset, if that's what you mean.

To run your Stored Proc, you can do this:

Dim con as ADODB.Connection
Set con = New ADODB.Connection

con.Open "Your ConnectionString"

con.Execute "EXEC upAmbleDown @Param1=" & Me.YourFirstControl & ", @Param2=" & Me.YourSecondControl

This should fire off your stored procedure, assuming you have the necessary permissions on the server to do this. Note that this assumes the parameters are numeric; if they Text or Date values, do this:

con.Execute "EXEC upAmbleDown @Param1='" & Me.YourFirstControl & "', @Param2='" & Me.YourSecondControl & "'"

Basically, I'ved enclosed the value of the parametrs in single quotes ( ' )

After doing this, you can then open a Recordset based on that connection:

Dim rst AS ADODB.Recordset
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset

rst.CursorLocation = adUseClient

rst.Open "Your SElect Statement here", con

Now you can open your form, and set the Recordset property:

DoCmd.OpenForm "YourFormName"

Set Forms("YourFormName").Recordset = rst

Hi LSM - Long time no chat hope that life is treating u well.  Your code makes absolute sense and is easy to read and understand. - Thanks for that
I am getting an error on rst.Open and suspect that it may have something to do with the connection string statement itself please have a look at the screenshots and see if you can pick anything up.    

upUmbledown returns a query with the two parameters.  The statement that you have made above does not make sense to me.  Why are you opening a table for example and then returning another recordset with the stored proc?
The query that is being run is a complicated one.

maybe I should just run a view with the 2 parameters instead of a stored procedure?

Here is the stored proc that is being executed

Hi LSM

I've played around and left out the con.Open "Your ConnectionString" and it works perfectly

Thanks a ton
Good Luck with getting to the top Barbequer
We call them Braai's here in South Africa and it is a hugely popular pastime in this country.

BTW the link to your website is non-functional at the moment

<I've played around and left out the con.Open "Your ConnectionString" and it works perfectly >

Sorry, guess I should have been more explicit, but I thought it was obvious. You'd have to replace "Your Connection STring" with your own connection string. In other words, you would require an open, valid connection to the database before you open your recordset.
