ACC1x: Error When Using OpenQueryDef Method on Parameter Query

ID: Q100147

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the OpenQueryDef method on a parameter query, the error message "Couldn't Find Object" appears when you re-create the sample code on page 137 of the Microsoft Access "Introduction to Programming" manual.

CAUSE

There are three likely causes for this error message:

The name of the query you are trying to open is misspelled

The parameter is misspelled

The parameter is not explicitly defined

In the sample code on page 137, both the query name and the parameter are misspelled.

RESOLUTION

The following sample function is a correction to the errors in the sample on page 137 of the Microsoft Access "Introduction to Programming" manual:


   '*****************************************************************
   ' Declarations section of the module
   '*****************************************************************
   Option Explicit

   Function TestQP ()
      Dim db As Database, Q As QueryDef, DataRecs As Dynaset
      Set db = CurrentDB()
      Set Q = db.OpenQueryDef("Products by Category (Parameter)")
      Q![Enter a category id:] = "COND"    'This is an explicit parameter

      Set DataRecs = Q.CreateDynaset()
      DataRecs.Close
      Q.Close
   End Function
