What about the semi colon. We it look like this

DoCmd.runsql ("Select Name, Age From People Where Age = " & MyVar & ";")

Thanks

don't use the semicolon, either use
Code:
DoCmd.runsql ("Select Name, Age From People Where Age = " & MyVar)


or

Code:
DoCmd.runsql ("Select Name, Age From People Where Age LIKE '" & MyVar & "'")
