Runtime Error5 :Invalid Procedure Call

[Garimella]

When i'm trying to exute a piece of code it's giving this error. Please help me on this. i'm in desperate need of this.
Code snippet:

dim rst as recordset
dim db as database

Set rst = db.OpenRecordse t("select * from qrySelect",dbOp enSnapshot)

[NeoPa]

At this point db is set to Nothing.
Try using CurrentDB.OpenR ecordset or setting db first.

Firstly check that the Microsoft DAO library is ticked on the references list. You will find this on the Tools menu in the VB Editor window.

Then the code is as follows:

Dim rst As Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database

Set db = CurrentDB
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("select * from qrySelect",dbOpenSnapshot)

hi

This is related to your suggestion for Invalid procedure call in ms access. I tried by setting it as a new datbase but it's giving an error ' wrong usage of New keyword'. here is the snipet(original ) of the code used. please let me know where to modify.

Dim db As Database
Dim rst As Recordset

Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)

Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("select * from qrySelect_CostDifferences", dbOpenSnapshot)

Please help me on this.

I used Set db = CurrentDB not DBEngine(0)(0)

Hi

I tried db=CurrentDb(), but it didn't work it's still giving that error. I've checked the project references, they are fine. This was running fine until Jan 10th. I don't why this started giving this error. I'm trying to run this query manually, not from the code, even then it's giving the same error. I've been trying to fix it for the last 10days but i couldn't, Please help me if there are any other things that does cause this error.

Check that qrySelect exists as a query and check the spelling of the query.

Exactly which line is the code stopping at?

If it doesn't work for you when running it manually, when it did before (I assume), then there is something wrong.
You could try posting the SQL of the query here for a quick checkover, but it may well be an issue not directly related to your project.

Sorry Garimella

Didn't read the last part of this post properly. It sounds like the problem exists in the query rather than the code. Open the query in design view then change the view to sql and copy and paste code here.
