Create RecordSet from Form Parameters

[kirschey]

I am trying to use a form data to modify a query and store it as a recordset.

I have it working properly just opening the query, but I cannot seem to get the QueryDef parameters working the way I would like. (The Me.Territory,Me .State, and Me.Brand is the form data).

I get the error "Item not found in this collection." Currently.

The code that doesn't work:

    'create the recordset
    Set db = CurrentDb()
    Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(stDocName)

    'Query Parameters
    qdf.Parameters("Region") = Me.Territory
    qdf.Parameters("State") = Me.State
    qdf.Parameters("Brand") = Me.Brand

    Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset()
    If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then Exit Sub

I created a Generic Routine which will resolve your Query Parameters based on the appropriate Form Values. This logic will work on any Query that has referenced Form Values as criteria, namely:

Forms![<Your Form Name>]![<Your Field Name>]    'in 1 or more Criteria Rows

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim prm As DAO.Parameter
Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "<Query Name here>"

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(stDocName)

'Resolve the Parameters
For Each prm In qdf.Parameters
  prm.Value = Eval(prm.Name)
Next

Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset)

rs.MoveLast: rs.MoveFirst

If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then Exit Sub

With rs
  Do Until .EOF
    'process Records within Loop
    .MoveNext
  Loop
End With

rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

Thanks for the help. I still don't get how I would adapt my form inputs into the For loop. Would I use an array?

[kirschey]

I am still getting the error. Maybe it is from another part?

Post the SQL for the Query.

[kirschey]

It is ugly. I am sorry.


This is the query "output."

SELECT [zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Year-Month], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Cases Shipped]) AS [Cases Shipped], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Cases Depl]) AS [Cases Depl], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Cases Depl Budget]) AS [Cases Depl Budget], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Gross Profit]) AS [Gross Profit], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].SPAs) AS SPAs, Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].Samples) AS Samples, Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Other Selling Exp]) AS OtherSellingExp, Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].Salaries) AS Salaries, Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Travel & Enter]) AS [Travel & Enter], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Primary Budget]) AS [OfPrimary Budget], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[T&E Bud]) AS [T&E Bud], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Add'l Budget]) AS [Add'l Budget], Sum([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Sal Budget]) AS [Sal Budget]
FROM [zz Profit and Loss Flow Final]
WHERE ((([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].Region) Like "*" & Forms!sort.territory & "*") And (([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].State) Like "*" & Forms!sort.state & "*") And (([zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].Brand) Like "*" & Forms!sort.brand & "*"))
GROUP BY [zz Profit and Loss Flow Final].[Year-Month];

Here is the vb code I am working on to dump the query into a specially formatted excel spreadsheet one cell at a time. It is the record set that is giving me some trouble at the moment because I am not doing something properly in the parameters section.

I double checked the code using Wildcards as in your case, and it still functions normally.

You need not adapt anything, since the Loop evaluates to:

For Each prm In qdf.Parameters
  prm.Value = Eval(Forms!sort.territory)              'Parameter 1
  prm.Value = Eval(Forms!sort.state)                  'Parameter 2
  prm.Value = Eval(Forms!sort.brand)                 'Parameter 3
Next

I commented out

     'Query Parameters
     qdf.Parameters("Region") = Me.Territory
     qdf.Parameters("State") = Me.State
     qdf.Parameters("Brand") = Me.Brand

and am now getting a type mismatch. Any ideas why?

1. Your Parameters are all wrong, for instance, the State Parameter would be:
   

   Forms!sort.state

2. Run the following code within the Context of the Form to see your Parameter Names, and their corresponding Values:
   

   Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
   Dim db As DAO.Database
   Dim prm As DAO.Parameter
   Dim stDocName As String
   
   stDocName = "<Query Name Here>"
   
   Set db = CurrentDb()
   Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(stDocName)
   
   'Resolve the Parameters
   For Each prm In qdf.Parameters
     prm.Value = Eval(prm.Name)
     Msgbox prm.Name & " ==> " & prm.Value
   Next
