Hi,
You can use pass-through queries with parameters. You have to edit the
pass-through querydef at run-time before opening it, and it works. That's fine
if you want to use this query as a datasource for a form or a report.
----------------
Sub search_store(query As String, p As String) On Error GoTo search_storeError
Dim MyDatabase As DAO.DataBase
Dim MyQueryDef As DAO.QueryDef
cmdSourisSablier
Set MyDatabase = CurrentDb()
If (QueryExists(query)) Then MyDatabase.QueryDefs.Delete query
Set MyQueryDef = MyDatabase.CreateQueryDef(query)
MyQueryDef.Connect = "ODBC;DSN=" & global_dsn_name() & ";"
MyQueryDef.SQL = "SELECT * FROM public." & """" & query & """" & "('" & p &
"');"
MyQueryDef.ReturnsRecords = True
MyQueryDef.Close
Set MyQueryDef = Nothing
MyDatabase.Close
Set MyDatabase = Nothing
search_storeExit:
cmdSourisNormal
Exit Sub
search_storeError:
MsgBox "Error in search_store."
Resume search_storeExit
End Sub
----------------
Regarding DAO/ADO, I suggest you have a look a performances. The fastest way
for me to call PG functions was to use DAO, which is a bit obsolete, I agree.
But there was an initial overhead with ADO that made me use DAO instead. Since
I put all the logic on the server, this is only "glue code", so using DAO is
not a problem, even if ADO is supposed to be the future... If you put logic on
the client, that's another problem maybe.

I was using ADO command object and both refresh method and method with creating
parameter object while working with Access Project...but I didn't try to use it
with PostgreSQL...
I would rather like to have all queries on client side anyway. Therefore I use
pass-through queries. But it doesn't allow using parameters (execept by
concatenation). Also, you can't base subforms on pass-through queries, so now I
use strange combination of local tables, append queries with parameters based
on pass-through queries etc. It works but I'm aware that it is not very
clever:)...
I think that it would be great if pass-through queries could accept parameters.
That would be a powerfull way for executing queries on client, while keeping
all the code on front-end side...But I doubt that Microsoft will work on
further Access improving anymore. It seems that Access is left behind while
VS.NET is top technology. Too bad...
IS there any good book covering MS Access usage as front-end for different
database servers except MSDE ?
Do you have form/subform/subform...based on stored procedures ? If so, how do
you synchronize form with subform ?
Greetings,
Zlatko
