Inserting a value from an Access form into a SQL pass through query

[Lewe22]

I am creating a small Access db which performs a series of updates to a SQL db.

The Access db consists of a ‘Main Form’, from which the user can run each update via a series of command buttons.

Each update has been written as a SQL pass-through query.

Example Update:

UPDATE unit_instance_o ccurrences uio
SET fes_active_plac es =
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM registration_un its ru
WHERE ru.fes_unit_ins tance_code = uio.fes_uins_in stance_code
AND ru.uio_occurren ce_code = uio.calocc_occu rrence_code
AND ru.progress_sta tus = 'A'
AND ru.uio_occurren ce_code = 07);

Each query is dependant on a year (07) however I want the user to determine the year from a combo box on the ‘Main Form’.

How do I best go about this? If necessary I can rewrite the pass-through update queries as pure Access-update queries.

Have not been having much success as my VB knowledge is limited. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Are you trying to update both the databases in parallel ?

Are you trying to update both the databases in parallel ?

The objective is to update a table in the SQL database.

The key thing is that i want to be able to run my pass through query from a button on a form. Before clicking the button the user must select the year. I want to be able to insert that year into the body of the PTQ.

It is just so i can set everything up and the user can then define the year when running the query.
