Question : Long query in code does not run

Hi,
I have the following query in Access 2003 copied from the Code window that runs in the query designer window if I press the delete key to bring the broken "words" together. For example when I copy the query from the Debug window and past into the query designer SQL window the "word' tbl_WBS03 is split on two lines: "tbl_WBS" on one line and on the next line "03". I place the cursor after the S and press Delete to bring the tbl_WBS03 together and the query works (actually there is another instance similar to this in the query.

I have create lots of quereies using the strQuery=strQuery & " " format and it always works.

The query is:

SELECT DISTINCT tbl_WBS01.code_L1, tbl_WBS01.desc_L1, tbl_WBS02.code_L1, tbl_WBS02.desc_L1 , tbl_WBS03.code_L1, tbl_WBS03.desc_L1, tbl_WBS04.code_L1, tbl_WBS04.desc_L1 , tbl_WBS05.code_L1, tbl_WBS05.desc_L1, tbl_WBS11.code_L1, tbl_WBS11.desc_L1 , tbl_WBS11.Level1_Code, tbl_WBS12.code_L1, tbl_WBS12.desc_L1, tbl_WBS12.Level1_Code, tbl_WBS21.code_L1 , tbl_WBS21.desc_L1, tbl_WBS22.code_L1, tbl_WBS22.desc_L1, tbl_WBS23.ProcurementCode , tbl_WBS24.procurementTypeID, tbl_ProcurementType.desc_L1 , tbl_ProcurementCode.desc_L1 FROM (tbl_ProcurementCode RIGHT JOIN (tbl_ProcurementType RIGHT JOIN (((tbl_WBS22 RIGHT JOIN tbl_WBS21 ON tbl_WBS22.w21code_L1 = tbl_WBS21.w21_ID) LEFT JOIN tbl_WBS23 ON tbl_WBS22.w22_ID = tbl_WBS23.w22_ID) LEFT JOIN tbl_WBS24 ON tbl_WBS23.w23_ID = tbl_WBS24.WBS23ID) ON tbl_ProcurementType.Code_L1 = tbl_WBS24.procurementTypeID) ON tbl_ProcurementCode.Code_L1 = tbl_WBS23.procurementCode) INNER JOIN ((((((tbl_WBS01 INNER JOIN tbl_WBS02 ON tbl_WBS01.code_L1 = tbl_WBS02.w01code_L1) INNER JOIN tbl_WB

Debug.Print strSQL

DoCmd.OpenQuery (strSQL)

How do I correct this problem?

Thanks,

Answer : Long query in code does not run

merdeka ,

<
I tried "CurrentDB().Execute strSQL" and got an error message "Cannot execute a select query">>

Yes, sorry. I didn't notice on my first post that this was a select query.

<>

The querydef code is correct, but you need a little more. When you execute a query through Access, it takes care of resolving any parameters you might have used. When you execute the query in code, you need to take care of that. So here is the code you need to use:

Dim qdf as querydef
Dim prm as Parameter
Dim rst as recordset
Dim intI as integer

Set qdf = CurrentDB.CreateQueryDef("", strSQL)

For intI = 0 to qdf.Parameters.Count -1
Set prm = qdf.Parameters(intI)
prm.value = Eval(prm.name)
Next intI

Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordSet()

Sorry I didn't read the question more closely.
