Error 3061 Too few Parameters. Expected 1

I'm using a Union query as a Source for an Append query.  I will leave the code here.  tblGLTransactions and tblGLTranaactionNo. I don't know if that is causing a problem.  The tblGLTransactions has 2 fields, the fiest field GLTransactionNo is an autonumber field, so I didn't append to that field.  I need both tables because of the relationship for a form and subform for GLTransactions.  The entry I'm trying to append closes the year end.  Well, it should.

I should post the union query as well.   I have drained out John Vinson who has been helping my like crazy in the past two days.  This is the final step in completing this database and I cannoyt believe it crashes.

Here is the Union query ......I changed it.  No AccountTypeID and no AcctgDate.  IT's been modified for the extra fields. EDITED 09/12/11 12:51

SELECT qryYearEndReBalanceSheetTotals.AccountID, IIf([TotalTrans]<0,[TotalTrans]*-1,0) AS Debit, IIf([TotalTrans]>0,[TotalTrans],0) AS Credit, 0 AS GLTransactionNo, "Closing Entry" AS Source,qryYearEndReBalanceSheetTotals.TransDate FROM qryYearEndReBalanceSheetTotals

UNION ALL SELECT  ([Forms]![frmYrEndProcessing]![cboRetainedEarnings]) AS AccountID, IIf([SumOfProfit]<0,[SumOfProfit],0) AS Debit, IIf([SumOfProfit]>0,[SumOfProfit],0) AS Credit, 0 AS GLTransactionNo, "Closing Entry" AS Source, DLookUp("FiscalYearEndDate","tblMyCompanyInfo") AS TransDate FROM qryYearEndBalanceSheetProfit;

 Here is the code:  I created another query with GLTansactionNo and AcctgDate.   The same 2 fields as the table.  It still fails with the same Error 3061. Like the Title

   Thanks for any help.  this coded edited Sunday 09/12/11 12:54 pm

I will reply, Rob, if only to wish you good luck.  I wish I'd been able to resolve the issue for you, but I think we'd just be herding those kittens for evermore I'm afraid.

One final point of detail.  I'd recommend:

"#" & Format(Now(),"yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss") & "#" & _

By using the ISO standard for date and time notation it caters for whatever Windows local date format is in use.  As you'd written it, it would fail on my system for instance as the UK short date format is dd/mm/yyyy, so 4th July would be changed to 7 April, which your neighbours to the south would not appreciate.

Mea culpa. I left out spaces in two places.  BEFORE SELECT and BEFORE FROM

strSQL = "INSERT INTO [tblTransactions] (TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit," _

        & "Source, GLTransactionNo)" _

        & " SELECT TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit, Source," & lngID _

        & " FROM [qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;"

        CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

If lngId is equal to 33, then Debug.Print should return

INSERT INTO [tblTransactions] (TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit,Source, GLTransactionNo) SELECT TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit, Source,33 FROM [qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;

    I got back and I looked at your answers in your profile.  I saw the one for the Union Query and I just said to myself, how the @@@@@ did you figure that out.

    How can I possibly help anyone in here when I canot even begin too understand.

    Remarkable John.

    My hats off to you.

    Rob

    I want to mark that answer.  I forgot to tell you something I did last might.

    I created a table with the same structure as the one in the strSql tblTestTransactions, si what I named it.  I then created an append query usining the same Union query as in my code.  It failed the first time because I had "" As GLTransactionNo.  Wrong Datatype.

    I tried again with 0 as GLTransactionNo and then ran the append Query and it inserted everything and the 0 in each row as the GLTransactionNo.  So. I ask myself, if it works with an aappend query from the query Objects why not  an INSERT INTO statement in code.

    I need the GLTransactionNo     the lngID stored so my entry is altogether as 1 entry on the form and subform.  ??? I don't understand.  Was it a fluke that it worked.  The table structure is exactly rhe same except for 1 field I didn;t add to the Testtable and didn't add to the query.((DateTimeStamp) I though that was the problem.)and the union query is the same without DateTimeStamp.  You can still append records.  Need not append all the fields in the table.

    I'm just shakin my head.

    Should have let you know earlier, but I was out this afternoon and I'm anxious and don't know if I should stay away for awhile or just keep thinking abou what could be wrong?

    I hope this info may help a bit.

    This is the line in the Immediate window:

    INSERT INTO [tblTransactions] (TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit,Source, GLTransactionNo) SELECT TransDate, AccountID, Debit, Credit, Source,86 FROM [qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;

    I don't if this helps because the post section here is shorter than the entire line.

    Hi John,

    I copied and pasted the strSQL , I believe you corrected it with 2 spaces that were missing.

    The debug line is showing the correct GLTransactionNo.  Thanks for showing me that on your first post.,

    I had to say this, but I'm still getting this Error 3061.  Too  Few Parameters. Expected 1.

    John, I don't what to do.? Bad luck?

    Thanks for getting back to me right away John.

    Rob
