Inputbox is a string and works fine when hardcoded, though.

Hi,



InputBox return a string and it seem that you need a
number.

So I'm trying to use the value from the inpubox, called
INDCODE here, to change the criteria for an external
data
pull from Access. INDCODE is recongnized [in WHERE
(`Invoice Summary Query`.EXPENSE_INDEX_CODE=INDCODE)] as
the I can put my cursor on it after that step and see
that
the value takes, but I get a general ODBC error on the
last step - .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Help and thx in advance!

Title = "ICI report generator"
