Search AutoNumber field in Access via SQL (VB)

Question

I'm trying to allow the 'user' to search for 'members' by searching for their member ID. Here is a screenshot of the database (design view).

If in VB I search for the ID as an Integer it produces a datatype mismatch error (see below)

Sorry for asking another probably pointless question, thank you though - mean's a lot!

Answer 1

The error lies in this line:

sqlstatement = "Select * from Members where ID = '" +  MemberID + "';"

It should be:

sqlstatement = "Select * from Members where ID = " +  MemberID + ";"

Since your "ID" field is Autonumber , you're checking condition with a string which is wrong.

Answer 2

You're doing

"WHERE ID = '" + MemberID + "';"

in your VB code. I think this might be your problem. I guess it thinks the ID is string, and not int.

I am not very familiar with VB but try it without the '' ie like this:

"WHERE ID = " + MemberID + ";"
