Hi,   The error occurs because the string passed to the filter contains a single quote in "Int'l". As the single quote is also used to delimit the complete string it is terminated after "int" and the remaining string leads to the error. There are several methods to cure this. One is to use double quotes as delimiter, e.g. like this:   Me.Filter = "[Location]= " & Chr$(34) & Me.Combo25 & Chr$(34)   However, if your strings can also contain double quotes then you'll get the same problem with these again. So, it may be more secure to double the trouble maker and thereby ..read more

Hi Karl, that worked perfectly. thanks for pointing out that its TEXT so have to change it up a little. I forgot that text is different. thanks again for pointing out the name also needed to be changed to MaxOfWithdrawalDate (thank you XPS35).

Although that is not your current problem: Reference is a Reserved Word, and should not be used as an object name. Just like you should not name your table "Table", or "Field". Nothing good can come from trying to confuse the Access parser ..read more

I have an access database.  I am the solo user.  I had it on my laptop and I saved it to a thumbdrive and loaded to my desktop.  When I try to enter this db on my desktop I get the following:   "You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time.  If you proceed to make changes you may not be able to save them later".   since it is just me I would like to know who this other user is?  Makes no sense, but then it is Access ..read more

You do a lookup on WithdrawalDate, but in the query that field is renamed to MaxOfWithdrawalDate. Maybe that is (one of) the problem(s ..read more

Hi Tony,   > the format is short text for both of those fields.    Ok, then I misunderstood your description. I thought you were getting the error only for some records. With this information it is clear that you should get the error for every record because the syntax for text is different than for numbers. You have to make it clear to Access that the parameter value is a string, e.g. by surrounding it with quotation marks:   WDDateGetError: DLookUp("WithdrawalDate","qryWDDate","Reference = '" & [Invoice No] & "'"   Servus Karl **************** Access Forev ..read more
