In the VBA Editor check Tools - References. Make sure there is a DAO library ticked on the list.

i turn on it,
now, other error at line
Set WorkRS1 = WorkBase.OpenRe cordset(SQL)
"Runtime error 13, Type Mismatch"

If manager is a control on your form and a text data type, try ...

SQL = "Select init from Managers WHERE contact='" & manager & "'"

Here is workable code that Opens an External Database (C:\Test\Test.m db), creates a Recordset based on a simple SQL Statement, then loops through all Records in the Recordset outputting the First and Last Name Fields to the Immediate Window.

Dim MyDB As DAO.Database, MyWks As DAO.Workspace
Dim MyRS As DAO.Recordset, strSQL As String

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblEmployee;"

Set MyWks = CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
Set MyDB = MyWks.OpenDatabase("C:\Test\Test.mdb", True)     'Open Exclusive
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)

Do While Not MyRS.EOF
  Debug.Print MyRS![FirstName] & " " & MyRS![LastName]
  MyRS.MoveNext
Loop

MyRS.Close
MyDB.Close
MyWks.Close

MyDB.Close
MyWks.Close

thanks, this code is works.
i think the reason of error was at the dbOpenDynaset key. i don't assign it to function befor

The reason why it didn't work before was probably because this line was omitted from the code. You must create a Workspace Object to open a Database within:

Set MyWks = CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
