Syntax Error Missing Operator In Query Expression Access Inner Join
to set filters on the form, I receive syntax errors for all attributes I try to filter on. I believe this has something to do with the lack of () around the inner join within the query code, but what is odd to me is that I can filter the query with no problem. Below is the query code: SELECT CUSTOMER.[Product Number], SALESPERSON.[Salesperson Number], SALESPERSON.[Salesperson Name], SALESPERSON.[Email Address] FROM SALESPERSON INNER JOIN CUSTOMER ON SALESPERSON.[Salesperson Number] = CUSTOMER.[Salesperson Number]; Any ideas why only the form would syntax error missing operator in query expression access 2003 generate the syntax error, or how to fix this? forms ms-access access-vba syntax-error share|improve this question asked Feb 7 '14 at 20:15 FGLC0983 38116 1 Since the query includes only one join, () should not be required. My best guess is the query is not the cause of the problem. It must be something due to the method you're using to set the filter or a problem with the filter expression string. –HansUp Feb 7 '14 at 20:21 You can eliminate the query by testing the SQL in the query designer. –Matt Weller Feb 7 '14 at 21:09 The query you posted seems to work just fine. I think what you need to share with us is exactly how you are trying to filter the records. Please post the exact syntax and sample. –Wayne G. Dunn Feb 7 '14 at 23:32 Query is working just fine, no filter issues at all. As far as how I am trying to filter, in the form I am clicking on the drop-down arrow for each attribute, this is when I get the error. I also noticed no data is listed for the records in the drop-down once it opens. I have found that I can filter by right-clicking on a filled cell though. –FGLC0983 Feb 10 '14 at 14:50 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote I was able to quickly fix it by going into Design View of the Form and putt

It seems like you are passing an empty value to the query because of which it is failing. Also remember, it is always better to use parameterized queries. Search the forum for these. Also, please use code tags when you are posting sourcecode in the forum. Look at our FAQ on how to use the code tags.

MS ACCESS, Syntax error (missing operator) P: 8 Dave Richardson Hi to everyone, I have the following problem which is producing the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(CourseNo = CN1863) This caused from the follOwing being run from a command button on a form. The sync is between the form (Combo box ) and a report (txt field). DoCmd.OpenReport "RptValidationMainP3_Course1863", acPrintPreview, , "CourseNo = " & Me.CourseNo The report is based on a table which has many 'CourseNo's', and I want the chosen value from the form combo to filter the records to be printed in the report. i.e select CourseNo '1863' via the combo box on the form (with other fields input by the user) and then clicking the command button opens the report filtered to the combo box value. My apologies if i've been a bit long winded describing this, and hope that there is enough here to show my problem. Any assistance would be really appreciated.

DoCmd.OpenReport "RptValidationMainP3_Course1863", acPrintPreview, , "CourseNo = " & Me.CourseNo Hi Dave. This problem crops up fairly frequently in referring to string values, and arises because you are missing two quote marks from the filter statement. This should be: Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers DoCmd.OpenReport"RptValidationMainP3_Course1863",acPrintPreview,,"CourseNo='"&Me.CourseNo&"'" Without the quote marks Access is trying to interpret the course name as a field name or operator, without success. Add the quote marks in as shown and the DoCmd should be OK. -Stewart Mar 3 '08 #2 reply P: 8 Dave Richardson Hi Dave.
