Using Access 2007: I have a select query Query1 with the following SQL SELECT tblLowestFare.Dates, tblLowestFare.Package, tblLowestFare.Tourist FROM tblLowestFare; How do I change that SQL with the following SQL using VBA. SELECT tblLowestFare.Dates, tblLowestFare.Package, tblLowestFare.Superior FROM tblLowestFare; This is what I have so far. Private Sub cmdNext_Click() Dim sqlString As String sqlString = "SELECT tblLowestFare.Dates, tblLowestFare.Package, tblLowestFare.Superior " & "FROM tblLowestFare;" End Sub

Got it myself.

Thanks. Private Sub cmdNext_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim sqlString As String Set db = CurrentDb() Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Query1") sqlString = "SELECT tblLowestFare.Dates, tblLowestFare.Package, tblLowestFare.Superior " & "FROM tblLowestFare;" qdf.SQL = sqlString End Sub

You could just add the following line CurrentDb().QueryDefs("Query 1").SQL = sqlString There might be a better solution, but I can't tell if there is since you have not explained why you need to change the SQL of the query. Since you are doing this in a form, my guess is that you might only need to assign the query sqlString as the record source for the form instead of changing the SQL property of the query.
