Assigning Criteria Result to a Variable
In my query, I have a criteria requiring user input. I want to be able to assign that user input to a public variable and pass it to an iif expression in the same query, and also be able to call the variable in a function.
Can this be done?
you can try creating a Public function for the Parameter Criteria of your query.
let say your table has a FirstName field and you want to filter it:
global varParam As Variant
public function getQueryParam()
gstrParam = ""
gstrParam = Inputbox("Input the name of person", , varParam)
If IsNumeric(varParam) Then
varParam = Val(varParam)
End IfgetQueryParam = varParam
end function
your Global/Public variable is varParam.
