Question : Dlookup in Access

I am trying to return a dlookup value (titem) when tfixedrate > 0

if I use a static variable the lookup works but breaks when I substitute a variable for the contract ID. I know its just a missing " or something but been looking at it for the last hour.. Arrgh

THanks in advance for the Help

Code Snippet:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5:

'Working with static number 4065 xitem = DLookup("[titem]", "tbl_UsageSort", "[tContractID] = 4065 And [tfixedrate] > 0") 'Archive Usage 'Breaks Working with variable tusagesort.tContractID (which equals 4065) xitem = DLookup("[titem]", "tbl_UsageSort", "[tContractID] = " & tusagesort.tContractID And [tfixedrate] > 0 )

Open in New Window Select All

Answer : Dlookup in Access

xitem = DLookup("[titem]", "tbl_UsageSort", "[tContractID] = " & varaibale & " And [tfixedrate] > 0")

Or if variable is non numeric

xitem = DLookup("[titem]", "tbl_UsageSort", "[tContractID] = '" & variable & "' And [tfixedrate] > 0")

in this case single quote then double quote at beginning and double quote and single quoate at the end
