Private WithEvents conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim sql As String
Dim prov As String
Private WithEvents rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rCount As String
Dim cnt
Dim ID

Dim currentRR As String







Private Sub Form_Load()

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
prov = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & "\MAINDB2.mdb" & ";Persist Security Info=False"
conn.open (prov), , , 0
    '"<conn string>"
 
    ' ***** (step 1) *****
 
    Set rs = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(Question) FROM QnE")
    rCount = rs(0)
 
    ' ***** (step 2) *****
 
    Set rs = conn.execute("SELECT Question FROM QnE")
    cnt = 1
    Dim RRs
    ReDim RRs(rCount)
    Do While Not rs.EOF
        RRs(cnt) = rs(0)
        cnt = cnt + 1
        rs.movenext
    Loop
 
    ' ***** (step 3) *****
 
    Randomize
    currentRR = CLng(Rnd * rCount + 0.5)
    ID = RRs(currentRR)
 
    ' ***** (step 4) *****
 
    sql = "SELECT * FROM QnE WHERE Question=" & ID
    Set rs = conn.execute(sql)
    Label1.Caption = ID
    
    
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    conn.Close
    Set conn = Nothing
End Sub

the error that comes out when i run it is this

Syntax error (missing operator) in querry expression
'Question=(THE RANDOMED CELL DATA HERE)'

ive attach the file ive made pls check this sir

Since the variable 'ID' is a string variable you need to wrap the value with single quotes like the following.

sql = "SELECT * FROM QnE WHERE Question='" & ID &"'"
