I have been facing the error 3061 with error message "Too few Parameters: Expected 2". I have done all of the following to resolve the issue but still couldn't it.
I ran the query in SQL mode and it gives me result
I checked all the field names
I checked all the "&" s are placed. I find them correct.
Here is my code:
Private Sub cmbYear_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim Query As String
Query = " SELECT Yrs_Teaching, Highest_Edu, AD_Descr FROM ClassSurvey" & _
" WHERE ClassSurvey.Program/School_ID = " & Me.cmbProgId.Value & _
" AND ClassSurvey.ClassID = " & Me.cmbClassId.Value & _
" AND ClassSurvey.Teacher_ID = " & Me.cmbTeacherID.Value & _
" AND ClassSurvey.SYear = " & Me.cmbYear.Value
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(Query)
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
Me.TB1 = rs!Yrs_Teaching
Me.TB2 = rs!Highest_Edu
Me.TB3 = rs!AD_Descr
Else
Me.TB1 = "N/A"
End If
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
It appears your table includes a field named Program/School_ID. Bracket that field name in the SELECT statement so the db engine can properly recognize it as one field name.
That change might be all you need. But if you have another problem, give yourself an opportunity to examine the completed SELECT statement you're giving to the db engine. It might not be what you expect.
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strQuery As String
strQuery = "SELECT cs.Yrs_Teaching, cs.Highest_Edu, cs.AD_Descr FROM ClassSurvey AS cs" & _
" WHERE cs.[Program/School_ID] = " & Me.cmbProgId.Value & _
" AND cs.ClassID = " & Me.cmbClassId.Value & _
" AND cs.Teacher_ID = " & Me.cmbTeacherID.Value & _
" AND cs.SYear = " & Me.cmbYear.Value
Debug.Print strQuery
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strQuery)
If you get an error, you can go to the Immediate window (Ctrl+g), copy the statement text from there, open a new query in the query designer, switch to SQL View, paste in the statement text and try running it there. This tip is especially useful when the db engine complains about a missing parameter because when you try to run the query from the designer, Access will show you an input box asking you to supply a value and that box also contains the name of whatever Access thinks is the parameter.
I came across this when I was looking for a solution to the same problem. Turns out one of the values from a control on the form was not passing the value to the statement, sending it to the debug window (Debug.print) helped me spot the problem after a long time because I was using a global variable which the sql query was parsing. So load your controls' values into variables first!
This error may be because the column names in the query have special characters. Try surrounding the column names with square brackets in the SQL query. Column name with special symbols should be within square brackets and variables should be inside single quotes.
I had this issue too, I realized it was because I did not put quotes around my variables.
This was fixed by adding '& Chr(34)' around my variables
My fixed code looks like:
TextProducer = [Forms]![MyFormName]![TextInputBoxName]
strQuery = "SELECT FILEMASK" & _
" FROM TABLE_NAME" & _
" WHERE Producer = " & Chr(34) & TextProducer & Chr(34)

I am told (and agree) that it is better to replace the SQL in an existing querydef, rather than delete and re-define the querydef each time the query needs to change. But my code only seems to work the second way. Here is the code I have that works:
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim QD As QueryDef
Dim mySql As String
mySql = ""
mySql = "TRANSFORM COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS CountOfDocument " & _
"SELECT tblDocs.[Contractor Dept], " & _
"COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS [Total Of Document] " & _
"FROM tblDocs " & _
"GROUP BY tblDocs.[Contractor Dept] " & _
"PIVOT tblDocs.[Engineering Status Code]"
On Error Resume Next
db.QueryDefs.Delete "qryX" 'Remove temporary query if exists
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("qryX", mySql) 'create temporary query
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT * INTO tblDocsCrossTabX FROM qryX;"
Here is the code I can't get to work
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim QD As QueryDef
Dim mySql As String
mySql = " "
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef(("qryX"), mySql)
mySql = "TRANSFORM COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS CountOfDocument " & _
"SELECT tblDocs.[Contractor Dept], " & _
"COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS [Total Of Document] " & _
"FROM tblDocs " & _
"GROUP BY tblDocs.[Contractor Dept] " & _
"PIVOT tblDocs.[Engineering Status Code]"
QD.SQL = mySQL 'overwrite query SQL
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT * INTO tblDocsCrossTabX FROM qryX;"
Oddly, the second version doesn't throw any errors at me, but it doesn't make the crosstab table at all.
Edit: Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The problem is that the second set of code Does. Not. Execute. The. SQL. If it executed the code, I would be happy to re-write and use the same temp query over and over, but it does. not. execute. the. SQL..
Please respond with how to make the code in the second block actually execute the indicated SQL statement and build the desired table.
I know I have to remake a query if I delete it. Duh.
I know I "should" be able to re-use the same query if I can get the Set statement to properly overwrite the previous sql with the desired sql.
I know you all want to provide an answer, but please make it an answer to the question I am asking.
You can recycle the object if you don't delete it:
' On Error Resume Next
Set QD = db.QueryDefs("qryX")
QD.SQL = mySQL
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT * INTO tblDocsCrossTabX FROM qryX;"
Solved.
In the first block of code, when I delete and recreate the query, the string mySql contains a valid SQL statement, so Access is able to assign that SQL to the querydef when I completely recreate it with SET. Specifically,
mySql = "Transform..."
Comes Before
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef("qryX", mySql)
In the second set of code, the string mySql contains only a space when the Set command is used, as " " is not a valid SQL Statement, the Set command won't even get executed, and the QueryDef QD never even gets created.
Specifically, the error in the second code occurs because
mySql = " " 'NOT a valid SQL Statement
comes before the attempt to create the queryDef
Set QD = db.CreateQueryDef(("qryX"), mySql) 'QD never gets created because mySql is not valid SQL
preventing the assignment of a valid SQL statement later, and so no table gets created.
If you can use a subquery, you can use a tempory QueryDef instead of bothering with checking forQueryDefalready existing or not, just combine the SELECT and the INSERT-Query to use a temporaryQueryDef
Unfortunally you can't useTransformin a subquery so this code leads toRuntime-Error 3129 Invalid SQL statement.
Sql = "SELECT * INTO tblDocsCrossTabX FROM (TRANSFORM COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS CountOfDocument " & _
"SELECT tblDocs.[Contractor Dept], " & _
"COUNT(tblDocs.Document) AS [Total Of Document] " & _
"FROM tblDocs " & _
"GROUP BY tblDocs.[Contractor Dept] " & _
"PIVOT tblDocs.[Engineering Status Code])"
With CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef(vbNullString) 'or db.CreateQueryDef("") creates a not named and therefore temporary QueryDef
.SQL = Sql
.Execute dbFailOnError
End With
Sample of successful code.
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim QueryString As String
Dim QDDocsCross As QueryDef
Set QDDocsCross = db.CreateQueryDef("DocsCross")
QueryString = "TRANSFORM COUNT(Docs.Document) AS CountOfDocument " & _
"SELECT Docs.[Contractor Dept], " & _
"COUNT(Docs.Document) AS [Total Of Document] " & _
"FROM Docs " & _
"GROUP BY Docs.[Contractor Dept] " & _
"PIVOT Docs.[Engineering Status Code]"
QDDocsCross.SQL = QueryString
I know, there are lots of answers out there for this problem which should be trivial, but I did not find the right one. Here is my problem:
I open a record set with the following select statement:
SELECT twinecellar.produktnavn, twinecellar.land,
twinecellar.produkttype, twinecellar.år,
twinecellar.antall, twinecellar.poeng,
twinecellar.Picture, twinecellar.KR,
twinecellar.Poengsum, twinecellar.Sum
FROM twinecellar
WHERE (((twinecellar.land)=forms!fmainview!list13)
And ((twinecellar.produkttype)=forms!fmainview!list15))
ORDER BY twinecellar.poeng;
In the immidiate window I see that list 13 contains "france" and list 15 contains "red"
When I create a new Query with this statement, it's working, however, on the rst.Open gsStrQuery I get this error. gsStrQuery contains the select string.
Here is the code:
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set conn = CurrentProject.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
rst.ActiveConnection = conn
rst.Open gsStrQuery
Anybody out there with a good idea about this issue?
When you build your SQL string, concatenate the "parameters" values into the string.
gsStrQuery = "SELECT twinecellar.produktnavn, twinecellar.land, " & _
"twinecellar.produkttype, twinecellar.år, " & _
"twinecellar.antall, twinecellar.poeng, " & _
"twinecellar.Picture, twinecellar.KR, " & _
"twinecellar.Poengsum, twinecellar.Sum " & _
"FROM twinecellar " & _
"WHERE (((twinecellar.land)= '" & forms!fmainview!list13 & "') " & _
"And ((twinecellar.produkttype)= '" & forms!fmainview!list15 & "')) " & _
"ORDER BY twinecellar.poeng;"
That way your parameter values are hard coded into the string before you try to open the query.
(Also note: I added single quotes around your parameters to indicate they are strings.)
(Also also note: & _ is a line continuation for VBA so your SQL string concatenates properly. This allows you have a readable SQL code that's nicely indented.)
________________________________
There is also a way to use your current gsStrQuery and assign parameters values to the ADO recordset. (But I find the above Replacement method much easier to read when going back to review the code. The only drawback is you have to rebuild your SQL string each time your parameters change. But that overhead is minimal for non complicated queries.)
However, if you really want to use ADO parameters, you can find a useful description here.
Hope that helps :)
I am having some trouble formatting an SQL string in Access, I can never seem to debug these syntax issues with SQL strings. I have this string:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM FXData WHERE ShortCode=" & Forms!FXVolatility.cboCurve.Value & " AND MaxOfMarkAsOfDate=#" & MaxOfMarkAsofDate & "# ORDER BY MaxOfMarkAsOfDate "
debug.print strSQL
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, Type:=dbOpenDynaset, Options:=dbSeeChanges)
which prints
SELECT * FROM FXData WHERE ShortCode=USD.XS AND MaxOfMarkAsOfDate=#3/31/2016# ORDER BY MaxOfMarkAsOfDate
However this gives me a "Too Few Parameters, expected 1" error.
All the fields and their associated values that are referenced in strSQL exist in the referenced table. What could the error be?
Also if you've got any resources on how to debug/identify these specific access SQL formatting issues I'd be happy to hear them.
In SQL, strings need to be put in single or double quotes. Thus, your output should look like this:
... WHERE ShortCode='USD.XS' ...
Thus, your code becomes:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM FXData WHERE ShortCode='" & _
Replace(Forms!FXVolatility.cboCurve.Value, "'", "''") & _
"' AND MaxOfMarkAsOfDate=#" & MaxOfMarkAsofDate & _
"# ORDER BY MaxOfMarkAsOfDate "
The Replace ensures that any single quotes occurring within cboCurve.Value are properly escaped.
Note that it is recommended to use parameters instead of string concatenation to "fill" values into an SQL statement. An example for how to do this in MS Access can be found in the answer to this question:

I have this simple code of vba access to update product in the database. But when I debug, it stops at the DoCmd statement and got run-time error. I've made research about this kind of error and code, and had changed the code but still caused an error. Below is my simple code to update the product value.
Sub UpdateProduct()
Dim mySql As String
mySql = "UPDATE " & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!cbxLensType _
& " SET LOT_NO = " & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!txtLotNo _
& " WHERE EAN_CODE = " & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!txtEan & ";"
DoCmd.RunSQL mySql
End Sub
Could you help me to explain what is the problem to my code? Is it because of the update syntax?
Thanks in advance.
**New to access vba
Since EAN_CODE is Text type you need to enclose it inside single quotes.
Sub UpdateProduct()
Dim mySql As String
mySql = "UPDATE [" & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!cbxLensType _
& "] SET LOT_NO = " & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!txtLotNo _
& " WHERE EAN_CODE = '" & Forms!UPDATE_PRODUCT!txtEan & "';"
DoCmd.RunSQL mySql
End Sub
If LOT_NO is also a Text type, make sure that it is also enclosed in Single quotes.
I have a database containing locations of water wells and a ton of properties associated with those wells. All tables are linked with WELL_ID (name of the well), which is "short text" data type, from what I can tell. Within the database there are existing queries from which I'm trying to get the data (I don't want to mess with the tables in case I make a mistake and mess something up).
I've created a form where the user inputs UTM coordinates for easting and northing, as well as a search radius, then clicks a "search" button. Upon clicking search, the procedure creates a recordset of the [qryUTM_NAD83], then calculates the radial distance of each well and if it is within the specified search radius, it is stored in a new [Search_Results] table using INSERT INTO.
Now, once the well is identified as meeting search criteria the WELL_ID is stored, and passed to a function which searches through a recordset of a different query [qryFormation]. This query has a one-to-many relationship where there is a record for each geologic layer, each having the same WELL_ID (i.e. each well has multiple layers but all these layers have the same WELL_ID). I need to concatenate these layers into one string, pass them back to the search function and add it to the [Search_Results] table. However, i get a data type mismatch error in the SQL statement.
Here's the code I have:
(I've omitted some parts of code to keep it short for you all)
Private Sub SearchButton_Click()
Dim WellID As String, mySQL As String, NewLitho As String
'Creating new recordsets from [qryUTM_NAD83] table
Dim rs1 As DAO.Recordset
'[ZONE] is just user specified, helps me narrow the search a little
Set rs1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [qryUTM_NAD83].* " & _
"FROM [qryUTM_NAD83] " & _
"WHERE [ZONE] = " & frmZone, dbOpenDynaset)
'Moving through the recordset
rs1.MoveFirst
Do While Not rs1.EOF
'calculated radius, r , for this well (omitted)
If r < SearchRadius Then
WellID = Val(rs1.Fields("WELL_ID").Value)
NewLitho = LithoTransform(WellID)
mySQL = "INSERT INTO [Search_Results] " & _
"([WELL_ID], [Easting], [Northing], [Radius], [Lithology]) " & _
"VALUES (" & WellID & ", " & x & ", " & y & ", " & r & ", " & NewLitho & ")"
CurrentDb.Execute mySQL
rs1.MoveNext
End If
Loop
End Sub
The function:
(error occurs in "Set rs2..." - data type mismatch)
Public Function LithoTransform(CurrentID As String) As String
'CurrentID is the well which was identified as being within the search radius
Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
Dim mySQL2 As String
'SQL statement and new recordset of the well we are looking at in the search
Debug.Print CurrentID
mySQL2 = "SELECT [qryFormation].* " & _
"FROM [qryFormation] " & _
"WHERE [WELL_ID] = " & CurrentID
Set rs2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(mySQL2, dbOpenDynaset)
'Move through recordset rs2 and concatenating into new string
'Bunch of code here
'Close recordset set it to 'nothing'
End Function
Since WELL_ID is text type, include quotes around the value of CurrentID when you include it in your WHERE clause. So the quickest fix is probably this ...
mySQL2 = "SELECT [qryFormation].* " & _
"FROM [qryFormation] " & _
"WHERE [WELL_ID] = '" & CurrentID & "'"
However, you could switch to a parameter query instead and thereby avoid issues with quotes. Here is an untested example ...
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf AS DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
Dim mySQL2 As String
mySQL2 = "SELECT [qryFormation].* " & _
"FROM [qryFormation] " & _
"WHERE [WELL_ID] = [which_id]"
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef(vbNullString, mySQL2)
qdf.Parameters("which_id") = CurrentID
Set rs2 = qdf.OpenRecordset
