Input box info into SQL statment

Read More Threads Like This One

I have a line of SQL code that looks like:
If Me.Text2 <> "" Then
SQLStmt=SQLStmt& "(Table1.Terr = ' " & Me.Text2 & " ')"
Endif

Instead of getting the number from a Unbound field called Me.Text2, I want to get the Number from the answer received from an InputBox.

The line of code for the InputBox is:
Me.Filter = "Terr = " & InputBox("Get terr:", " Get Terr")

I need help on what to change in the SQL Code ?

Here are the basics of concatentation
for numeric
SQLStmt = SQLStmt & me!Text2
if its a string
SQLStmt = SQLStmt & "'" & me!Text2 & "';"

when you first right code, keep it simple put each step on it's own line
Don't try to create to complex a statement in one line to make it run faster
this will allays cause you problems with syntax.
Here is an example
X= inputbox (somevalue)
Me!filter= "Terr " & X

Separate the items out and get them to work first then look at making your code more efficient.
On today's Screaming machines the time it takes to go through a few extra lines of code is miniscule
compared to troubleshooting a complex line.
