convert sql to vba string

[vba317]

I have found a faq on this website FAQ705-6112 to convert an SQL string to workable vba.
I am getting an error 3265 Item not found in this collection.
I have set up a form called frmSQL1
On the form I have an input textbox called txtSQL
a command button called cmdSQL
code behind the command box
I have another text box on the form called txtVba
I am hoping that I can get the code once completed to output to this box
I have highlighted in blue where the error is happening. Is it possible I am missing a reference?

Any help is appreciated

Tom

You may either use this:
X = "blah blah " & _
"more blah"
or this:
X = "blah blah " _
& "more blah"

Hope This Helps, PH.
