Problem accessing MS access database from MS Word
Posted on 2016-08-29
I am using the following code in MS Word to access a MS Access database:
How do I stop these popups? Thanks.
strDatabaseName = "C:\AccessReferences\Patient Information.mdb"
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & "" "" & [Contacts].[LastName])=""" & strName & """) OR ((Contacts.CompanyName)=""" & strName & """)"
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource strDatabaseName, wdOpenFormatText, False, True, True ', , , , , , , , strSQL
GetFaxNumber = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("FaxNumber").Value

<<How do I stop these popups? Thanks.>>
Are there any other processes using the DB besides this one?
Jim.

The database is open in MS Access. Sometimes I can stop the popups in subsequent calls by closing then reopening MS Access.
BTW: the "WIth" on line 3 of the code was included here in error. It is not in the actual code.

Put a stop in the code so you can print out the contents of strSQL. Post the generated string if you don't see the issue.
here is a sample strSQL:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & " " & [Contacts].[LastName])="Sa
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & " " & [Contacts].[LastName])="Sa

That can't be the actual contents of strSQL. Please put a stop in the code and paste the contents after strSQL has been populated.
This is an actual sample of the contents of strSQL that works at getting the correct results from the Contacts table in the database. I copied it after a code stop after the line:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & "" "" & [Contacts].[LastName])="""
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & "" "" & [Contacts].[LastName])="""
Concatenation is valid in a SQL query.
Here is that SQL string converted to design view:
And here are the results of that SQL string:

Yes, concatenation is allowed but we should not be seeing strName in the query so you didn't post the strSQL as the query engine is seeing it. You posted the code that builds it.
strName is not in strSQL when it is sent to Access.
Here is strSQL as sent to Access again:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & " " & [Contacts].[LastName])="Sa
Here is strSQL as sent to Access again:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM Contacts WHERE (([Contacts].[FirstName] & " " & [Contacts].[LastName])="Sa

xtermie,
I don't think that article applies here. I have the latest edition of the Jet Service Pack; I am not getting the error mentioned in the article and as you see, I have no joins in the query.
