Hi all,

I have 2 sql string statements and I am using the Docmd.runsql command to
run them. The first one does not execute and neither does it give an error
message. The second string works fine. 

Does anybody know what the problem is?

Here's the code. The first one has the problem.

strAppAcad = "INSERT INTO ApplicantsAcademicInfo ( ApplicantID, PaidFee,
TermCode," & _
    " EntryDate,SO, Major, UnivID, MSUnivID, Transcript, LR1, LR2, LR3,
LR4, GREV," & _
    " GREVp, GREQ,GREQp, GREA, GREAp, GREAW, GREAWp, TOEFL, TOEFLRequired,
TOEFLDate," & _
    " GPA, MSGPA,DegSought, GASought, Complete, Location, Comments, Status,
GA, Coming," & _
    " YearsExp,Inquirer, PermanentStreetAddress, City, [State/Province],
PostalCode," & _
    " ResearchArea1,ResearchArea2, SupportAmount, CEF )" & _
    " SELECT ApplicantID, PaidFee, TermCode, EntryDate , SO, Major," & _
    " UnivID , MSUnivID, Transcript,LR1 , LR2, LR3, LR4,GREV , GREVp,
GREQ,GREQp , GREA," & _
    " GREAp,GREAW , GREAWp, TOEFL,TOEFLRequired , TOEFLDate, GPA,MSGPA ,
DegSought," & _
    " GASought,Complete , Location, Comments,Status , GA, Coming,YearsExp
," & _
    " Inquirer,PermanentStreetAddress , City, [State/Province] , PostalCode
," & _
    " ResearchArea1, ResearchArea2, SupportAmount , CEF " & _
    " FROM ArchivedAcademic" & _
    " WHERE SSN= '" & Forms![frm_Archive_Retrieve]![txtID] & "' ;"

DoCmd.SetWarnings False  'turns off system alert messages

DoCmd.RunSQL (strAppAcad) 


This one works:

strAppPer = "INSERT INTO ApplicantsPersonalInfo ( ApplicantID,
OldApplicantID," & _
    " FirstName, LastName, MI, Address, LocalStreetAddress, City,
[State/Province]," & _
    " PostalCode, Country, Email, Birthdate, USCitizen, LiveInUS, Gender,
SSN )" & _
    " SELECT ApplicantID, OldApplicantID, FirstName, LastName, MI,
Address," & _
    " LocalStreetAddress, City, [State/Province], PostalCode, Country,
Email," & _
    " Birthdate, USCitizen, LiveInUS, Gender, SSN" & _
    " FROM ArchivedPersonal" & _
    " WHERE SSN='" & Forms![frm_Archive_Retrieve]![txtID] & "' ;"


DoCmd.RunSQL (strAppPer)

First thing is to turn comment out this line:

    'Docmd.setwarnings False

At least you'll be able to see what is happening.

Also might pay to add this before you execute:

    debug.print strAppAcad

so you can see what you are actually trying to execute.

Cheers,
Andrew
