Well, did notice that you left out the ! (bang)

No, the above never worked, you need to use:
> strSql = "Select * from employees Where EmployeeID =
> [Forms]![MyForm]![MyControl]"
> merely do this:
> strSql = "Select * from employees Where EmployeeID = " &
> [Forms][MyForm][MyControl
As usually, even when you try to help, you get it wrong, go off on huge
tangents about using a ADP, and at the end of they day, fail to help, and
fail to respect the people here....good job...
Really, at the end of the day, it not about being right vs wrong, it about
how you try and help the community here. If you don't like the community, or
the tools you are using, you are free to move on.
you can choose to be bitter, or better...the call is yours...
