Hi all!

I am using the following code in order to import records from access
table.
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=C:\Documents
and Settings\Eli\My Documents\ETV_Cells.mdb"
rst.Open "SELECT DISTINCT [Printing_Date] FROM " & strTableName & "
ORDER BY [Printing_Date] ;", cnn, adOpenStatic
rst.MoveFirst

With Me.cboViewPrntDate
.Clear
Do
.AddItem rst![Printing_Date]
rst.MoveNext
Loop Until rst.EOF
End With

My problem is with changing the field name ([Printing_Date]) into a string
in order to use this code for more then one field instead of duplicating
the
code for each field. I tried:
strField = "Printing_Date"
strField = "[Printing_Date]"
but i got error messages that was pointed to ".AddItem
rst![Printing_Date]"
line.

Thanks in advance

Eli
