INF: OpenQuery Is Not a Method; Use OpenQueryDef Instead

Article ID: Q103132
Creation Date: 18-AUG-1993
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SUMMARY

The examples on pages 132 and 133 of the Microsoft Access "Introduction to Programming" manual incorrectly use OpenQuery as a method. OpenQuery is an action, not a method. Instead, the OpenQueryDef method should be used in the examples on pages 132 and 133.

MORE INFORMATION

Change the third line of the example on page 132 from

   Set Q = db.OpenQuery("Sales Totals")

to:

   Set Q = db.OpenQueryDef("Sales Totals")

Change the third line of the example on page 133 from

   Set Q = db.OpenQuery("Update Sales")

to:

   Set Q = db.OpenQueryDef("Update Sales")
