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] ;

    Hi John,

    Thanks for replying and catching those 2 problems.  I noticed that you corrected the comma after the unneeded "As GLTransactionNo".

    I copied the strSQL you supplied with corrections.  I'm getting an error 3067  An input table or query is required.

    I noticed the is a quote "  at the end of    " As GLTransactionNo"   without a space before the ".

    If I put a space and then " like this     " As GLTransactionNo "  I get the same Error 3061 Too few parameters 1 Expected.

    I feel like I shouldn't get this done.  This is tthe last line of code and the database would be complete.  I cannot believe my luck (lack of)   I hope you can help me with this line.

    If I remove " AS GLTransactionNo"   like you suggested,  how would I write the " & lngID & "

    to code in this statement.  I will remove it if it not needed.  I think I tried I got some other error message.  where it showed    75[qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry]   in the error description.  I forgot know, but I can post it here,  Error 3075 (missing operator in '75[qryuniYearEndClosingEntry]

    75 is the right GLTransactionNo.

    Access adds a "

     & lngID & "" _

            & "FROM [qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;"

    I tried the various ways,  I'll save this way without " As GLTransactionNo "

    Thank you so much I was hoping I could get this done.

    Rob    (I wote to ken Sheridan In England earlier today after lunch and he agreed with your post.  That's all he could see was wrong)  Hope you can get back to me, John

    I need your help.  It's probably something mminor I hope.

    Rob

    Two  problems that is see immediately are an extra comma after the UNNEEDED "As GLTransactionNo" and a missing space after FROM.

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

            & "Source, GLTransactionNo)" _

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

            &  lngID & " As GLTransactionNo" _

            & "FROM [qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;"

            CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

    I' getting an error 3164 syntax error in INSERT INTo Statement

    This is the code for strSQL that is a incorrect.

    lngID = DMax("GLTransactionNo", "tblGLTransactions")

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

            & "Source, GLTransactionNo)" _

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

            & "FROM[qryuniYearEndFinalClosingEntry] ;"

            CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

    This the Union query I'm using:

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

    FROM qryYearEndBalanceSheetProfit;

    Any help or suggestion please.

    Thanks,

    Rob
