Is it possible to create a select query in vba in order to propogate a value
in a text box in a report?
I have no idea what you mean by "propagate a value in a text box in a
report?"
But, regardless, you cannot run a select query using RunSQL.
RunSQL can only be used to run an Action Query, i.e. Append, Update,
Delete, etc.
Now if you care to post back with more detail as to what it is you are
trying to accomplish, perhaps some one can help.
