Update subform after selection on Main Form

Hi everyone

I am attempting to update a subform after the user selects an item from a list on a mainform

I get an error.

The offending line of code is

strCriteria = "[GLDataName] = " & Chr(34) [Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector] & chr(34)

Anyone see what the problem is?

Private Sub lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector_AfterUpdate()
    Dim rs As Recordset
    Dim rsAdd As Recordset
    Dim strCriteria As String
    strCriteria = "[GLDataName]  = " & Chr(34) [Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector] & chr(34)
    
    Me.Requery
    Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
    rs.MoveLast
    rs.FindLast strCriteria
    Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
    
     Me.txtGLDataName = Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector
     Me.txtJob = Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector

End Sub

Without looking at it in detail, your syntax is off, you're missing an &.

strCriteria = "[GLDataName] = " & Chr(34) [Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector] & chr(34)

should be something like:

strCriteria = "[GLDataName] = " & Chr(34) & [Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector] & chr(34)

We don't use Chr(34). You can get the same result by stacking quotes:

strCriteria = "[GLDataName] = """ & [Me.lstJobCostSummaryJobSelector] & """"

Thanks Als315, that was it. Also had to get rid of the [] on the Me. part of the statement
