Doesn't recognize Crosstab gen Fields

Hi everyone! Using A02 on XP. I have a table with multiple records for 1-4
quarters. I have my first query (Query01) that pulls by [GP] (contract
number) and [BillDate]. Usually there are 4 records (one for each quarter).
Sometimes though, there are only 1, 2 or 3 (never zero or there is just no
data). I have to open Query01 in design view to change the GP and BillDate
criteria. I can't use parameter inquiry because Query02 is a crosstab and
doesn't like parameters.

Query01 pulls the data I need. Query02 summarizes the data (adds the fees
for each quarter and lists the fees by quarter) and Query03 appends the data
to a FeesTable (I concatenate the quarterly totals so I can list the
individual amounts that make up the total due).

I tried this:

Pieces: "Cycle fee amounts: " & IIf(([Qtr 1]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 1]) & "; " &
IIf(([Qtr 2]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 2]) & "; " & IIf(([Qtr 3]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 3]) &
"; " & IIf(([Qtr 4]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 4])

But, because this one only has data in [Qtr 4], I get the error: "Microsoft
Jet DB Engine does not recognize '[Qtr 1]' as a valid field name or
expression."

How can I allow for Qtrs that may not exist? Can I? I would appreciate any
help or advice you can provide. Thank you in advance for your time!

You need to define the parameters in the crosstab query and preset the output
columns.
Post your SQL for your Q1 and Q2.

Hi Karl,

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

Here is my Query01:

SELECT ParticipantStmtTable.PlanNum, [ParticipantCount]*[CostPer] AS FeeAmt,
ParticipantStmtTable.DateBilled, ParticipantStmtTable.CycleDate
FROM ParticipantStmtTable
WHERE (((ParticipantStmtTable.PlanNum)="GP3194") AND
((ParticipantStmtTable.DateBilled)=#7/16/2008#) AND
((ParticipantStmtTable.Untimely)=0) AND
((ParticipantStmtTable.OverRideFee)=0))
ORDER BY ParticipantStmtTable.CycleDate
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;

Here is my Query02:

TRANSFORM Sum(qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP01.FeeAmt) AS SumOfFeeAmt
SELECT qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP01.PlanNum,
Sum(qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP01.FeeAmt) AS [Total Of FeeAmt]
FROM qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP01
GROUP BY qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP01.PlanNum
PIVOT "Qtr " & Format([CycleDate],"q");

Here is my Query03:

INSERT INTO [Fees Table] ( [Plan #], [Amount Billed], FeeComments, [Date
Billed], [Bill Type], CreatedBy, [Serv Rendered] )
SELECT qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP02.PlanNum,
qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP02.[Total Of FeeAmt], "Cycle fee amounts:
" & IIf(([Qtr 1]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 1]) & "; " & IIf(([Qtr 2]) Is Null,0,[Qtr
2]) & "; " & IIf(([Qtr 3]) Is Null,0,[Qtr 3]) & "; " & IIf(([Qtr 4]) Is
Null,0,[Qtr 4]) AS Pieces, "07/16/2008" AS BillDate, "S" AS BillType,
CurrentUser() AS CreatedBy, "Participant Stmts Mailed" AS Service
FROM qPartStmtBill5aCreateFeeRecordOneGP02
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;

I can't put the parameter in Query01 such as [What contract number?] or
[What date billed?] because Query02 (crosstab) gives me the error:

"Microsoft Jet DB Engine does not recognize '[What contract number?] as a
valid field name or expression."

Not sure what you mean by defining the parameters in the crosstab. I tried
to add a parameter to the criteria line but got the same error message.

If you can assist me in performing magic, I would love to try. I come
across this in crosstabs alot and would like to have a fix.

Thanks again for your time!

I forgot to change Q2 as below --
PIVOT "Qtr " & Format([CycleDate],"q") IN("Qtr 1", "Qtr 2", "Qtr 3", "Qtr 4");

The above produces the columns even if there is no data for the quarter.

Karl!!! I LOVE IT! I've got to keep this to play with and see what I can
learn from it. Was a bit disappointed when I got the same "Doesn't
recognize..." error but went back and saw your extra post to lock in the
fields. SO glad you put that in. Absolutely saves me time for this process.

Thank you very much for being such a wonderful help!
