Hi everyone,
I have a macro that allows users to print reports.
The macroname is my$Macro
Action name: OpenQuery
Arguments are: upd$AmountsPC-1,Datasheet,Edit.

It works in some users machine but in others, they just get an error that says:
Action Failed, then it goes on to list macro name, action, etc.
I am so confused as to what the problem is.
Can anyone please, please help.
Thanks
 
Could you go to the SQL of your action query and post it?
 
Hi,
This is the sql:

UPDATE tblPCardExp SET tblPCardExp.[CertMFBE$] = Null, tblPCardExp.[Non-CertMFBE$] = Null, tblPCardExp.[NonMFBE$] = [$ Amount];
 
I have no definitive idea about what is going-on, but a problem that I've run into before is UPDATEing columns of data-type Text to NULL; sometimes (I don't know when exactly), I must UPDATE to "" (empty text string).

Also, part of your argument list is upd$AmountsPC-1; to which arguement does this correspond? If it is a table name, is minus one (-1) part of the table name?
