Have you ever wanted to use a parameter that is not stored on a form somewhere as a parameter for your update query?
Well this example will show you how you can use an input box to enter a parameter and that you can use in your update query.
The impetus for this idea was to add functionality from a database switchboard to import a network file and assign it a reporting year (parameter).
Here is the switchboard:
1. Your Input Box
Here we are getting the user’s input for the parameter:
1 | dteHazmatDate = InputBox("Enter Current Reporting Year " & Chr(13) & "(Format -> '1/1/2019')", "Current Reporting Year", Date) |
The TempVar Parameter
…then we are going to assign this entry to a TempVar
1 2 | 'add the reporting parameter TempVars.Add "ReportingDate", Month(dteHazmatDate) & "/1/" & Year(dteHazmatDate) |
Now we can use ” [TempVars]![ReportingDate]” as a parameter in a query.
Now our entry will be appended to our table, and we didn’t have to create a dedicated form for the parameters!
Here’s the table:
