I have a suppliers' report about 150 pages in access 2007. Each report has address, emails contact person, phone number, products and name of company per page. Once a month I have to send an email to the suppliers to confirm changes of contact person address, phone number and products.
I want to send that particular report to that particular email not the whole report.
I want this to be automated.
I have written code in VBA after research on the net and still not working. I am getting Too many parameters. Expected 1. Error.
Below is code for my form with a Send Report button.
Dim strSql As String

The query which is report is getting its data has the following SQL.

With this procedure I'm trying to insert value into a server database but it insert only one row with the loop and show error 3146 odbc call failed. On the other hand it works fine, if I connected this my local machine like below:
blnSuccess = AttachDSNLessTable("tbl_agreement", "tbl_agreement", "127.0.0.1", "tenant_db", "******", "******")
blnSuccess = AttachDSNLessTable("tbl_agreement_years", "tbl_agreement_years", "127.0.0.1", "tenant_db", "******", "******")
Don't know what I missed actually, any help would much appreciated.

The reason that If qdf.sql = 0 then won't perform a proper check is that qdf contains the information about your query such as the SQL text that you are checking in that statement but not the results.
To get the results of the query you need to assign it to a Recordset after you have build your query. So first build your query and then assign it to the record set.
Dim db as DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim qdf as DAO.Querydef
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qrySearch")
Dim rs as DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(qdf.sql)
You can then check what your record set has returned.
If rs.RecordCount = 0 then
So where you have your line ' run SQL statment you would want to place the Set rs line.
If you have any ADO experience you can use something like
dim strSQL as String
dim conn as Connection
dim cmd as Command
dim rs as Recordset
(set up connection/command here)
cmd.commandtext = (your select query)
set rs = Command.execute
if rs.eof then
(or if rs.recordcount = 0 however returning a recordcount requires the correct cursortype - usually adOpenStatic - to be used)
'msgbox no match
else
'do stuff
If any of this is alien, then post your actual query and I'll try and give you the code in full. Good luck!
Just getting to grips some VBA (this stuff's new to me so bear with us!)
From query ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes, I'm trying to first find a list of all the unique values in the DeptName field in that query, hence the rsGroup Dim storing a Grouped query on the DeptName field.
I'm then going to use this grouped list as way of cycling through the same query again, but passing through each unique entry as a filter on the whole recordset and export each filtered recordset to its own Excel spreadsheet... see the Do While Not loop.
My code's tripping up on the DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet ... rsExport part. I'm a bit new to this, but I guess my Dim name rsExport for the recordset isn't accepted in this method..?
Is there an easy fix to the code I've already started or should I be using a completely different approach to achieve all this?
Code:
Public Sub ExportSoftOutcomes()
Dim rsGroup As DAO.Recordset
Dim Dept As String
Dim myPath As String
myPath = "C:\MyFolder\"
Set rsGroup = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName " _
& "FROM ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes GROUP BY ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName", dbOpenDynaset)
Do While Not rsGroup.EOF
Dept = rsGroup!DeptName
Dim rsExport As DAO.Recordset
Set rsExport = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes " _
& "WHERE (((ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName)='" & Dept & "'))", dbOpenDynaset)
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, rsExport, myPath & Dept & "\" & Dept & " - Soft Outcomes Survey.xls", True
rsGroup.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
Fixed Code:
Public Sub ExportSoftOutcomes()
Dim rsGroup As DAO.Recordset
Dim Dept As String
Dim myPath As String
myPath = "C:\MyFolder\"
Set rsGroup = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName " _
& "FROM ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes GROUP BY ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName", dbOpenDynaset)
Do While Not rsGroup.EOF
Dept = rsGroup!DeptName
Dim rsExportSQL As String
rsExportSQL = "SELECT * FROM ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes " _
& "WHERE (((ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName)='" & Dept & "'))"
Dim rsExport As DAO.QueryDef
Set rsExport = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef("myExportQueryDef", rsExportSQL)
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "myExportQueryDef", myPath & Dept & "\" & Dept & " - Soft Outcomes Survey.xls", True
CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete rsExport.Name
rsGroup.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
You're right that your rsGroup parameter is wrong, Access expects a table name or select query.
Try this code:
strExport = "SELECT * FROM ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes " _
& "WHERE (((ContactDetails_SurveySoftOutcomes.DeptName)='" & Dept & "'))"
Set qdfNew = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef("myExportQueryDef", strExport)
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "myExportQueryDef", myPath & Dept & "\" & Dept & " - Soft Outcomes Survey.xls", True
CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete qdfNew.Name 'cleanup

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet expects its third parameter to be a String (variable or literal) specifying the name of a table or query. So, instead of opening a DAO.Recordset you could create a DAO.QueryDef named something like "forExportToExcel" with the same SQL code, then use that name in the TransferSpreadsheet call.
