I want to sort multiple fields in an access data base but being a newbie I took reference from MSDN program and first trying to sort on a single field. I'm getting error From syntax wrong on the following lines.
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ACT_CD, " _
& "SNO FROM Banks_Trnx_2018-2019" _
& "ORDER BY SNO DESC;")
The full program as follows.
Option Compare Database
Sub OrderByX()
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset
' Modify this line to include the path to Northwind
' on your computer.
Set dbs = OpenDatabase("E:\FY_2018-2019\Banks\Banks_Trnx_2018-2019.accdb")
' Select the last name and first name values from
' the Employees table, and sort them in descending
' order.
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ACT_CD, " _
& "SNO FROM Banks_Trnx_2018-2019" _
& "ORDER BY SNO DESC;")
' Populate the Recordset.
rst.MoveLast
' Call EnumFields to print recordset contents.
' EnumFields rst, 12
dbs.Close
End Sub
I am clueless. Please help. As already mentioned I would like to sort on three fields (multiple fields) comprising of text and numerical fields which presently I can easily do by setting columns in proper order and selecting them together while sorting. Since it is a repetitive operation I am trying to develop VBA procedure for the same. Any pointer in the right direction shall be highly appreciated.
You should set your sql to a variable first - makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot - you'd be able to see you've left out some spaces between keywords and table
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ACT_CD, " _
& "SNO FROM [Banks_Trnx_2018-2019]" _
& "ORDER BY SNO DESC;")
Should be (with added brackets for table as suggested by @skkakkar)
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT ACT_CD, " _
& "SNO FROM [Banks_Trnx_2018-2019] " _
& "ORDER BY SNO DESC;")
