I am trying the exercise on Building an SQL string in Chapter 7 (Pages 289-291). I have copied the frmCriteria from the Complete Database as there is no frmCriteria for Chapter 7 as stated in the book.

A function BuildSQLString already existed which caused a conflict when trying to add the new identically named function so I deleted the existing function.

Now when I run the cmdFind_Click I receive a compile error stating wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment with EntriesValid highlighted.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The EntriesValid wants an argument, but the actual function doesn't want one. In the cmdFind_Click event take the argument out from the call to EntriesValid, as in:
If Not EntriesValid Then Exit Sub

The cmdFind_Click event previously included: -

If Not EntriesValid(strTableName) Then Exit Sub

by removing (strTableName) this has removed the error.

Thanks

Also; When coding the BuildSQLString Function, My tblSales table had no entries from 2002, yet the book asks you to use frmCriteria to build an SQL string from 01-Nov-02 to 30-Nov-02. Table entries are all 1998. Changed 02 to 98, all good. An easily detectable oversight for some, but it had me going for a bit. Grrr.

Thanks for the tip, AlreadyDead!

Since the authors indicate that running the MakeQueryDef function in the Immediate window should return a value of true, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why it kept returning a value of false. Having received no response to any of my prior posts, I didn't come back to this forum for help until just now and I'm glad I did.

Thanks, again!!!:)
