Problems with the DoCmd.OpenReport command

Scott,

  Thanks for the suggestions and I'll give them a try in a bit.  I inherited this database with the naming convention as it is(including the single quote in Dues '14).  Maybe I'll clean the table up before trying this.  It might take a few days so I'll get back to here and let you know how I'm making out early next week.

Thanks,
Ric

I agree with everything said above, ..

I also believe that you have complicated this more than it needs to be...

Note that it seems that by "All", (AFAICT), your code really is looking at "All from the Current year", ...(Not technically "All" records", because I see no reference to any year in your 4 criteria...)

Based on this, ...and what Scott posted above, I see something like this:

Access-EEQ28340758SelectReportAn.mdb

If the field is actually named [Dues '14] then you'll have to add that back in (obviously)

I inherited this database with the naming convention as it is

I feel your pain ...

Jeff,

   I can see where from what I wrote that juniors would appear to be years in high school.  These blurbs in a forum don't give all the information.   However, this is a club where the members are FULL, ASSOCIATE or JUNIOR(under 18).  The database contains dues for membership in prior years.  The committee wants to be able to look at prior active and in-active members so there's is a history of dues(dues '12, dues '11 and so on).  When sending the monthly membership letter out, the secretary needs to print labels only for current members. I hope this gives you a clearer picture of what I need to do.

Scott,

  I was able to get the table field names fixed up last night,  Now I have to fix everything else to make sure I haven't broken anything.  I work from home and may be able to get to it today........unless my boss reads this forum, then I'm too busy.  :-)

Joppa,

Then feel free to take what I posted in the sample database and adapt it t your needs.

I am still a bit confused on your date criteria, ...but in general you would have a date field, (that only contains a date)
And you can do things like this to specify the year:

Current Year:
Year(YourDateField)=Year(Date())

Last Year
Year(YourDateField)=Year(Date())-1

Next Year
Year(YourDateField)=Year(Date())+1

Please continue working with Scott to tune up your database.
;-)

Ok, I fixed the table, all the queries, forms and reports to the new naming conventions.  I fixed the VB and I'm back to the labels.

Just for clarification since I'm not explaining it well.  The Dues14 field in the table is not a year.  It contains a currency amount pertaining to the amount of dues paid by the individual for that year.  Anything other than NULL or 0 means they are a current member of the club.  Juniors are defined as a family member under the age of 18.  The club wanted to be able to go back to prior years to see what members there were, so every year a new column is added for the current year.  I hope this makes more sense.

Scott,

  I tried the changes you suggested and I still get a pop up box.  To simplify things for me, I'm just working with the Dues field <> 0 at this time.  I can add the JUNIOR parsing later.

Here's what I have:

Case SmallMailingLabels
       
            strCurrentYear = "Table1.[Dues" & Format(Now(), "yy") & "]"
           
            strSQL = strCurrentYear & " <> 0 "
            DoCmd.OpenReport "5160(small) membership labels", acViewPreview, , strSQL
           

strCurrentYear correctly becomes Table1.[Dues14]

strSQL  becomes Table1.[Dues14] <> 0

If I leave the quotes off in the DoCmd around strSQL I get a pop up asking for a value for Table1[Dues14]

If I have the quotes in the line I get a pop up asking for a value for strSQL.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

Thanks,
Ric

If I leave the quotes off in the DoCmd around strSQL I get a pop up asking for a value for Table1[Dues14]

Then you don't have the name correct. Access is asking because it cannot locate the table or field.

Does your report's Recordsource contain the table named "Table1" - spelled exactly that way, with no spaces?

Does that table contain a field named "Dues14" - and spelled EXACTLY like that, with no single quotes?

Hmmm, I know that's the problem because I took those fields out of the source query.  My thinking was I'm using valid fields in the SQL located in vb.  If I have to have that field specified in the source query than every year I need to add the new year to the query.  That is, this year  strCurrentYear = "Table1.[Dues" & Format(Now(), "yy") & "]" will be Dues14  next year it will be Dues15 and I would have to remember to add the new field to the source queries.

  Hope this makes sense.  Is there anyway around this problem?

Figured it out.  The original reports had a query for their source.  I changed that to Table1 and everything worked.

Thanks for the help.
