Hi everybody, I really hope that there will be somebody who will waste a bit of his time helping a very, very beginner.
I have a front-end database in MS Access that gets data from a MySQL back-end. When I execute a "Pass-through Query" it works fine if I write: "SELECT Orders.Id, Orders.Number, Orders.Clients_Id FROM Orders WHERE Orders.Clients_Id=234 (or whatever number I put in)" Instead if I try to get the "WHERE" Clause from a form which is obviously alredy open in my MS Access front-end and I write: "SELECT Orders.Id, Orders.Number, Orders.Clients_Id FROM Orders WHERE Orders.Clients_Id=[Forms]![Clients]![Id]" I get an "ODBC error: can't connect........" I tried then to declare "[Forms]![Clients]![Id]" as a PARAMETER (using "SET @.......") but, whatever I do and whatever I write, I get a "SINTAX ERROR MESSAGE". Any idea on what I could do? Thank you very much and, please, excuse my poor English. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
