Access Database with Text Criteria - 11/8/2006 11:18:33   
First - I did try to search for the answer and did read through the Spooky tuturial but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, or maybe I wasn't interpretting it correctly.

Anyway, I have a large access database that I am trying to use the DRW for. It is a database full of baseball statistics and I'm trying set the criteria to run on the player's name - BondsBa for example, but when the results wizard actually runs, it is incorporating every player into the results. So, for some reason, it's ignoring the criteria I have set up, or (more likely) I am not putting the name in the correct format.

I've tried the following options:
"bondsba"
'bondsba'
[bondsba]
(bondsba)

I once even received a message saying that the criteria needed to be an integer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Spooky

Can you post the SQL string you are using?

I'm using acces, not SQL? Do you want me to copy the code regardless?

SQL string is the language that queries the database, not the database itself. SQL string means for example:

SELECT * FROM tableName

or

UPDATE tblNAME SET (fldName = VariableValue)

or

INSERT INTO tblName (fld1, fld2, fld3) VALUES (variable1, variable2, variable3)

RE: Access Database with Text Criteria - 11/9/2006 21:26:05   
Or maybe this will help. This is the process I'm doing when setting up the DRW:

1) Using ASP.NET
2) Connected to existing database connection
3) Record Source = batting
4) I filtered out a bunch of unnecessary stats
5) Clicked on 'more options'
6) Clicked on 'criteria'
7) Clicked on 'add'
8) Set playerID to equal bondsba01
9) Set alternating colors, include header with column labels
10) Clicked on display all records together
11) Click Finish

One weird thing that is happening is that the criteria I set up sometimes disappears. I'll go back in to edit it and nothing will be there.

Hello - I assume I didn't describe this properly?
