Creating a custom text export file (inc. header & footer) from a q

Not certain I understand what you mean "a criteria control wth the criteria
'Run No' based on a field called [Run_No]"

If you run the query manually, does it prompt the user to enter the
criteria?

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strRun_No As String

strRun_No = InputBox("Enter the Run No")
If Len(strRun_No) 0 Then
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Generate_KML")
qdf.Parameters("Run_No") = [Run_No] ' or qdf![Run_No] = [Run_No]
Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot)
' etc.
End If

Douglas,

thanks for that article, I understand what it is implying, but don't
really
get how to implement the suggestions. It seems to me that it relates more
to
forms controls than underlying query criteria. I tried this: (you'll
probably
smile at my naivety...), but i can't figure out what or even how to
contextualise the code to reference my criteria field:

Set rsR = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Generate_KML", dbOpenSnapshot)
qdf![Generate_KML.Run_No] = [Run No]

but it didn't work.

Unlike that articles suggestion, I am not accessing a form's control, but
a
criteria control with the criteria 'Run No' based on a field called
[Run_No]

Douglas, John.

Now that I have the code working, how can I adapt it to take a criteria
from
the underlying query.

Each set of addresses (16 addresses per set) within the query is based
on
a
Main Record field called [Run_No]. But when I try to use this criteria
in
the
query and then run your code, I get the following error message:

Run-time error '3061';
Too few parameters. Expected 1.

and the VBA throws a highlighted yellow error:

Set rsR = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Generate_KML", dbOpenSnapshot)

Print #lngFN, "?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?"

Is the expected string supposed to have two double quotes on either
side
of
UTF-8? If so, you need

Print #lngFN, "?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""""UTF-8""""?"

(The rule is everytime you want a quote to appear inside a quoted
string,
you need to double the quotes.)

Douglas,

Can you help advise on this VBA problem please?

When I paste or type this line:

Print #lngFN, "?xml version="1.0" encoding=""UTF-8""?"

I get

Print #lngFN, "?xml version="; 1#; " encoding=""UTF-8""?"

the 1.0 becomes 1#

I can't seem to get the VBA window to accept John's code, weird or
some
kind
of switch that is turned off?

Douglas/John,

that did the trick...

The

it's
because
of my badly worded sentence 'I have an address query which
ouputs a
single
field to text strings for
Google Earth .kml file format parameters.' in my opening post.
What
I
really
meant was it is a single field (among other fields in the
query),
but
that it
contains multiple records/data.

eg:

Main St, London, W1
South St, London, W2
East St, London, SE1

Is it possible to get the routine to print All the data for that

Can you help me with this?

Douglas,

Yes, if i run it manually, it prompts the user for the Run No.

Your code?, do i paste it in, and then where you continue with 'etc', paste
in that part from my exisitng code, changing your 'Rs' references to John's
'rsR' references?

It should have been:

they both throw the following error:

The problem is that the .kml file requires a header and footer text to be

into a

'Addresses.kml'

This is the Header:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"
Document

Folder
nameLocations/name
open1/open

Output Field: [kml Address]

This is the Footer:

/Folder

/kml

Since your parameter doesn't have an underscore in it, try:

qdf.Parameters("Run No") = strRun_No

or

qdf![Run No] = strRun _No

Douglas,

I tried both lines (seperately), but neither worked.

they both throw the following error:

'Item not found in this collection'

I am using 'Run No' as my parameter name without the underscore for the
actual field, [Run_No] with the underscore.

Here is my SQL (with the parameter request)

SELECT [Points with Run No].Run_No, [Points with Run
No].Run_Point_Address_A
AS Address, [Points with Run No].Run_Point_Venue_A AS Venue,
"Placemarkdescription" & [Venue] & "/descriptionaddress" &
[address]
& ", London, UK /addressname" & [address] & "/name/Placemark" AS
KML_Address
FROM [Points with Run No]
WHERE ((([Points with Run No].Run_No)=[Run No]));

It should have been:

qdf.Parameters("Run_No") = strRun_No

(or you could use qdf![Run_No] = strRun_No)

However, given the error you're getting, your parameter obviously isn't
named "Run_No".

What's the actual SQL of your query?

Douglas,

I pasted your code (with subtle changes to the 'rs' references...:

Private Sub Test_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strRun_No As String

strRun_No = InputBox("Enter the Run No")
If Len(strRun_No) 0 Then
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Generate_KML")
qdf.Parameters("Run_No") = [Run_No] ' or qdf![Run_No] = [Run_No]
Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot)
Do Until rs.EOF = True
Print #lngFN, rs.Fields("KML_Address")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
rs.Close


'Output footer
Print #lngFN, "/Folder"
Print #lngFN, "/Document"
Print #lngFN, "/kml"
'...

Close #lngFN
End If
End Sub

When I run it, the dialog box for the user Run No pops up, but then I
hit
OK, i get this error message:

Run-time error '3265':
Item not found in this collection.

and the vba highlights this line in the editor:

qdf.Parameters("Run_No") = [Run_No] ' or qdf![Run_No] = [Run_No]


I tried that line to just say:
qdf![Run_No] = [Run_No]

but still the same error message.

Douglas,

this line: qdf.Parameters("Run No") = strRun_No

comes back with 'Bad file name or number (runtime error 52)

your other line 'qdf![Run No] = strRun _No' redlines in the VBA window

I noticed your 2nd option 'qdf![Run No] = strRun _No'
had a space before the underscore '_No'

but it still comes back with the same error line ('Bad file name or number
(runtime error 52) as your first option


Here is my Current Code:


Private Sub Test_Click()

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strRun_No As String

strRun_No = InputBox("Enter the Run No")
If Len(strRun_No) 0 Then
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Generate_KML")
qdf.Parameters("Run No") = strRun_No
qdf![Run No] = strRun_No

Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot)
Do Until rs.EOF = True
Print #lngFN, rs.Fields("KML_Address")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
rs.Close


'Output footer
Print #lngFN, "/Folder"
Print #lngFN, "/Document"
Print #lngFN, "/kml"

Close #lngFN
