From: DRedDog on 18 May 2010 12:57 My application creates a datasheet on the fly. Users make a selection from a set parameters including column names, sort order, etc and the code populates a querydef with the set of columns selected by the user. This works fine in an MDB. The equivalent MDE crashes - "That command isn't available in an MDE database" Please tell me how to add/delete columns from a querydef in an MDE file? DT

From: DRedDog on 19 May 2010 06:35 Thanks for your response. Assigning the SQL to the form's recordsource property is not the problem - it is adding/deleting controls that the MDE database objects to. Troubleshooting the MDE is a little awkward but I think the offending line might be -: DeleteControl strForm, Forms(strForm).Controls(0).name This is the sub that creates the datasheet form in the mdb file. Sub MakeRptDataForm(strForm As String, strQuery As String) Dim ctl As Control Dim fld As Field Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim db As DAO.Database Dim sngTop As Single On Error GoTo Err_MakeRptDataForm DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, acDesign, , , , acHidden Do Until Forms(strForm).Controls.Count = 0 DeleteControl strForm, Forms(strForm).Controls(0).name Loop Forms(strForm).RecordSource = strQuery Set db = CurrentDb Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(strQuery) sngTop = 0 For Each fld In qdf.Fields CreateControl strForm, acTextBox, acDetail, , fld.name, 0, sngTop sngTop = sngTop + 0.725 * 567 Next fld For Each ctl In Forms(strForm).Controls If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then ctl.name = ctl.ControlSource End If Next ctl Exit_MakeRptDataForm: DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.Close acForm, Forms(strForm).name DoCmd.SetWarnings True Exit Sub Err_MakeRptDataForm: Select Case Err Case Else MsgBox Err.Description 'Stop Resume Exit_MakeRptDataForm End Select End Sub "Tom van Stiphout" <tom7744.no.spam(a)cox.net> wrote in message news:d1t6v5hjlf6lh528uk6vh2nmirlnl5b977(a)4ax.com... > On Tue, 18 May 2010 12:57:59 -0400, "DRedDog" <dreddog69(a)hotmail.com> > wrote: > > What command? > Surely MDE would allow you to create a sql statement and assign that > to the RecordSource of a form? > > -Tom. > Microsoft Access MVP > > >>My application creates a datasheet on the fly.

Thank you, Douglas J. Steele. I will probably use the method you have suggested if there is really no way to create/delete controls in the MDE. But I am still hoping to find a way to do this.
