I'm a VFP programmer but need to do something quick in Access VBA.

I have 2 books that mention how to populate a temporary query or database with a select-sql command. Both of them say to dim db as database or dim qdf as QueryDef. However, neither "database" nor "querydef" is coming up in intellisense, and when I use it anyway it tells me that the user defined type is not found.

Please help.
TIA
Joy
