The main form of our contacts database has its source in a query which places all contacts in alphabetical order by surname. How do I get the query to sort by surname and then by first name? Also, how can I get the query to run each time a new contact is added so they are put into alphabetical order when they are saved, rather than appearing at the end of the list?
View RepliesI have created a form with a drop down box so that I can click on a client in the drop down box and it will pull the information from that clients record.. my question is :
Is there a way of having the clients names in the drop down box listed in alphabetical order without it changing the order in my table? My table is listed in order of project numbers not client names.
Hi can anybody tell me how i can make a list box alphabetical and it updates as new records are added
Thanks
Just starting off with access. Is there anyway of getting fields in a drop down menu to be displayed in alphabetical order?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have inserted a bar chart onto a form using a totals query. The query is grouped by days on stock, eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc. which is therefore the labels on the x-axis.
The chart displays the correct data, however, the chart automatically displays the categories on the x-axis in alphabetical order... '0-30', '120-180', '30-60' etc.. Is there anyway to adjust this order to be eg. '0-30', '30-60', '60-90' etc?
I have a report that generates 100 items in alphabetical order. All of the items are also displayed in a table. I have a bound form attached to the that table, and when the items appear they are not in alphabetical order. Therefore, it is a hassle typing in the data when the form will not appear in order, because instead of going in order I am flipping through pages. What is causing this to happen? And what can I do to fix this?

Hello.
How can I preserve the user-defined sort order in a column in a table?
Every time I exit the table, and go back, my items have been alphabetically sorted. This results in my Combo Box displaying the list in alphabetical order, rather than my custom order.
Thanks ahead.
I have a string where alphabetical and numerical characters are mixed up. I need a string function where I can find the index of the first non-numerical character. I tried with the mid function but could not get it to work.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have tried posting this message before, but with no results. I am trying to get a query that will give me all of my customers and show what their last order date is. The query that I have now is coming back with ALL the dates the customers made purchases. Here is how I have the query set up:
Field1 Customer ID
Field 2 Customer name
Field 3 Address
Field 4 State
Field 5 Phone #
Field 6 Order Date (Last in Group by)
Field 7 Shipping Method
Field 8 Salesman name
The query is a select query and I hit the totals button on the toolbar. In Field 6-Order date, I have it grouped by "last".
Another problem that I have it I am working in a 97 access database. I have tried to convert it to 2003 with no success. So, I am not able to make NEW queries or reports. I can modify them, but when I close the query or report design, it does not save.

I have a combo box that contains the months. They appear in month order on the form but when I query, they are in alphabetical. How can I get this to be in month order on the query?
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am wondering if it would be possible to do this:
Use a query to create a list of items from the column (duplicates removed) ordered by the frequency that they occur.
For example the column lunch
-------
|lunch|
|-----|
|pizza|
|kebab|
|tacos|
|pizza|
|tacos|
|pizza|
-------
Would end up like this:
-------
|pizza|
|tacos|
|kebab|
-------
Thanks in advance :)
i have a query which looks at 2 fields: "employee number" & "agency number", i would like the query to list the employee numbers in order first (1,2,3...) then the agency numbers in order (100, 101, 102...). ive changed the ascending/ descending order for them both but doesnt help. Its mainly the form that looks at this query i would like to fix so that is shows all employee records in order of employee number first and then underneath all agency numbers in order of their number (some employee numbers & agency numbers are null) hope this makes sense , any help would be great

I imagine it is a simple procedure but I am not sure how. PLEASE HELP :confused:

Seems easy but I can't get it to work
Table Services
Pk_Service
Service_Name
MyDate
Fk_License
Table Licenses
Pk_License
License_Name
I need to get all the services for one license, but only once, you'll see what I mean
Pk Service Service_Name MyDate Fk_Licence
1 Base 10/5/2004 5
2 Base 12/6/2004 5
3 Super Base 11/4/2004 5
4 Base 20/10/2004 5
5 Super Base 17/7/2004 5
there's about 7000 records with the same 4 services recurring all the time
All I want for one license is the all distinct services for a chosen date
If I select License 5, and today's date, 26/10/2004, I would need the latest service (closest date but has to be inferior or equal), in this case
Pk Service Service_Name MyDate Fk_Licence
4 Base 20/10/2004 5
5 Super Base 17/7/2004 5
Here's the query I have:
select distinct Service_Name from Services where Fk_License=5 where MyDate <= SelectDate order by DateDiff('d',SelectDate,MyDate) DESC
where Fk_License is to get only the services for a particular license
distinct if to only get each service once
MyDate <= SelectDate if to get only the services older than the selected date
order by is to get the latest service cause there will be a lot of services older than the selected date
they say distinct conflicts with order by
Anyone knows how to do this query right?
I have started a table to manage expenditure with dates payments and headings. Set up a query to summarise the monthly amounts by each heading. The Query is sorting the date in date in alpha order not date order so I get February before March etc. How do I get it to show chronological order?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello all,
Does anyone know (and would be willing to share) how one can order the results of a Union query in Access by something other than the returned values?
I have a simple Union query that would work perfectly - if I could get the thing to order the results in a particular order everytime:mad:. The query returns counts (all from one table) of separate select statements that each meet certain conditions (e.g. having state=Nevada, having state=California, etc.) as records - but since Union queries in Access order results in ascending or descending order by returned value, it puts my records in a different order every time the record values change. I need to have them ordered the same way (in the same order as they appear in the Union query, if possible) everytime so that I can return those values to specific cells in MS Excel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hello, I have created a crosstab query where I specify the order of Column Headings, however, I can't figure out how to specify the order of Row Headings. I only see that Microsoft Access offers the option to sort ascending vs. descending. I'd like to customize my sort order such as "Under 18" row first followed by "18-29" row and then "30-39" etc.
Any help you may provide would be great.

I have a Report that uses a query as it's record source. I have the query ordered by a field, which works as expected in the table view of the query. In the report, however, the ORDER BY clause does not seem to carry through. The field is not sorted Ascending. What's going on?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhy does access automatically rearrange column order in a query after closing and reopening? Is there a way to stop it? It doesn't affect the usefulness of my query but I set the columns up in a specific order and I'd like them to stay that way. This is an update query. I see that it is grouping them by name. Anyway to stop that without giving each field a unique name? Screenshots attached.
