viewing query subform based on text box value

[dbdb]

Hai, need a help please.

i have a form to view the query subform
1. form name : form1
2. query subform name : subform1
3. textbox name : txtclass1
4. command button name : cmd1

i want to view my query based on the value in the textbox.
the field in my query are : noreg, class, M2A, M2E, M2M

if user insert the value "M2A0901" in the textbox then

"Select * from Query where M2A like 'M2A0901' "

if user insert the value "M2E0901" in the textbox then

"Select * from Query where M2E like 'M2E0901' "

and so on.

how do i have to use the runSQL statement. or maybe there is another way to view my data in the subform.

beside i already try this way for the M2A class

SQL1 = "Select * from query where M2A like ' "& txtclass1 &" ' "

DoCmd.RunSql SQL1

but when i running this statement there is still error said "syntax error in query, incomplete query caluse"

can anybody help me please.
thanks anyway

Is the data in the subform based off a query in the queries tab? (in relation to the table tab and the forms tab and the reports tab etc, that is)

If so you can put a reference to the textbox into the criteria for that field in the subforms query.

Then you can use the afterupdate or similar event of the textbox to execute the

Me.Requery
Me.Refresh

statements in the main form.
