VBA Code - OpenRecordSet - Error [3061] too few parameters. Expected 1.

Hi. There are two different types of recordset available in Access: Data Access Objects (the built-in recordsets in Access) and ActiveX Data Objects (ADOX). Unfortunately the two recordset types use different methods, and the error message you are getting on the Openrecordset method is typical if in fact an ADO recordset is implicitly declared when a DAO recordset type is being expected.

To overcome this you will need to qualify the declaration of your recordsets (which I do not see in the code you provided):

Code:

Dim rstTemp as DAO.Recordset
Dim rstSummary as DAO.Recordset

To avoid compilation errors you must make sure you have a reference set to the MS DAO object library - from the VBA Editor select Tools, References and ensure that you have a tick under the Microsoft DAO 3.6 library (or its equivalent).

If you run sql_Approvers_t o_MktPlacePOs on its own then it will ask you about the criteria you have in the query. If you have something like: BETWEEN [forms]![YourForm]![DateFrom] AND [forms]![YourForm]![DateTo] then your solution would look like this:

Code:

Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim qdf as DAO.Querydef
Dim rstTemp as DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("sql_Approvers_to_MktPlacePOs")
qdf.Parameters(0) = Forms!YourForm!DateFrom
qdf.Parameters(1) = Forms!YourForm!DatoTo
Set rstTemp = qdf.OpenRecordset

Good morning,

The code declared both record sets as DAOs and the VBA Editor had select the Microsoft DAO 3.6 library (or its equivalent). And the issue still occurred.

please post the SQL for sql_Approvers_t o_MktPlacePOs, which is what is being opened as a recordset.

Please note that if you have a reference to a form control in the Where clause of the query this can cause the 'too few parameters' failure you mention.

Yes, it was the form that was generating this error. thank you for your assistance. when it was declared, the error code went away....

i appreciate your help.

I am receiving an error now "[3265]: Item not found in the collection" at the line below. The value of Forms!F_Waiver_ Yr!Txt_Waiver_Y r is 10.

Code:

qdf.Parameters(0) = Forms!F_Waiver_Yr!Txt_Waiver_Yr

The code is as follows:

Code:
