'build the SQL string

you might want to consider using Tempvars instead of globally defined variables. The big advantages of a tempvar are:
1. it retains its value even after encountering an unhandled error, which will reset regular global variables.
2. you can set it in the immediate window, so you can test your query without having the rest of the application running.
3. you can refer to them as:
Tempvars!yourTempVar
Tempvars("YourTempVar")
[Tempvars]![yourTempvar]
