I have a SQL query in which I have created a parameter to be entered by the user.
This works ok, however... everytime the user is asked to enter the parameter twice...
How can I stop access from asking users the second time?
Cause... the way I see it, one time should be enough and the query itself doesn't state the line in which the parameter is twice either...
Thx!
Basically i have a form which logs error corrections. The users enter a 'date received'. My user has now asked to have a date due to automatically be calculated by adding six days. I have done this with no problem:
=DateAdd("y", +6, [date received])
My form is not unbound, this date due field is the only unbound field i have. This date does not need to be saved in the table, just to appear when the user opens the form, which it does.
The problem which i am having is that i have a report which runs of a query, printing out the error correction, when the user types in the auto number required. The records added after i put the date due field, will not print out and when i run the query and type in the auto number of these records they do not appear...yet they are stored in the table. Obviously this is due to the 'date due' field, but im not sure how.
I really don't understand what is wrong. Could someone please give me an insight into what maybe wrong or tell me what to search for in the forum, because the searches i have tried have not come up with anything.
Thank you
Hi There,
I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I have searched the forum and cannot find a post relating to my particular problem.
I have three cascading combos on a subform that work fine and dandy when I open the subform on it's own, but when I open the main form that the subform is embedded into, I get the following message [IMG]cascade[/IMG]
I know I am missing something simple.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Hi guys,
A friend of mine has recently created a simple database which holds details of childrens story books. It logs the name of the Author, the storyline, its character etc in various tables...
He's currently creating some simple queries for his database. However, there is one query which neither he nor I can figure out, I'll try to explain to the best of my ability.
Basically, the 'story line' field in his database explains the basic plot of the book, some of the plots have the words "son", "dad", "father" and "boy" in them.
Now, he wants to create a simple query, which looks up and displays data which contains the keywords "dad", "father", "son" etc in them. So far he's tried...
Like "*Son*" Or Like "*Father*" etc...
This worked, briefly. The query was bringing up storylines with both contained the words "son" and "father" , which is correct. However, the query was also bringing up story lines with the word "song" in them, or any word which remotely related to one of the keywords, but didn't contain the exact criteria in the query (son, father etc).
In basic terms, how do you create a query which only brings up words that match the EXACT query criteria? In this case, 'Son' or 'Father' or 'Dad' etc? Rather than words which only briefly relate to the criteria, such as 'Song' or 'Fat' etc?
Thanks for your cooperation, feedback and examples would be highly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Jonathan.
Heya, I know this is probably something simple as I know I have done sql problems like this before. However, I am wanting to show cars which have the same name but are of different colours (without duplicates), I figured I could just use a SELECT DISTINCT? However, when I do this it just brings up one car name and one colour when there are multiple colours.
SELECT DISTINCT car.carname ,car.colour
FROM cars;
I am guessing its because the SELECT DISTINCT statement is applied to both the name and colour.
If somebody could just tell me what I am doing wrong because I am guessing its something simple yet I am too frustrated to see what it is now!
Thanks =)
I have no idea wheather this is supposed to go in Queries or Forms, so feel free to move this to either.
Here's my problem:
I made a query that looks at three text boxes on a form. I'm not sure how to set up the buttons correctly so I just bluffed it (like always :) ). Every time I run the query it keeps wanting me to re-enter the data that it was supposed to look at anyway! If you need more info, just ask. Thanks.

P.S.: I'm really new at this. I just learned about Access a week ago.
P.P.S.: I use Access 2000
I have a search form passing text from unbound controls to a query. These two fields (AuthorName & Title) of the query are from two different tables (Authors & Papers) set up in a many to many join. The 3 dummy records I am using are as follows:
Record 1
AuthorName: Smith (Author 1)
Title: SmithTitle
Record 2
AuthorName: Smith (Author 1)
AuthorName: Jones (Author 2)
Title:SmithJonesTitle
(i.e. two authors for this record)
Record 3
Author: Jones (Author 2)
Title: JonesTitle
If I stick in 'Jones' into the Author field and 'JonesTitle' in the Title field I correctly get 1 result from the query (record 3). However, oddly, if I put in Smith and SmithTitle I get two records (2 x record 1)!!!!! There aren't two records!!! Similarly if I leave both blank I get all the records and again there is a duplicate of the Smith record (and only this one is duplicated!)
The query criteria are:
[AuthorName] Like [Forms].[Search]![Author] & "*"
[Title] Like [Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*"
Any ideas???
Thanks
Hi All,
This is my first post so can I just say how great and useful this forum has been for me since I joined! I have found pretty much everything I have wanted without having to ask, so thank you everyone!
I am only beginning with Access at the moment, as I try to implement some improvements to the way my company works!
I have one really simple, but annoying issue at the moment and I cannot find the answer anywhere!
I have a currency filed in my table. I want to format it in USD, but USD is not available in the format options, just £ and €. I cannot see where the hell I get the USD $ format from?
I know this is probably well simple and I am being a plum!
I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.
Hi all,
Can i populate a parameter just like i populate a combo box?
I want to have a FIXED value for parameter. May I know how to do this.
Thank you
Hi,
I am creating a database for work and I keep getting a message that pops up when I opn my form that says "tblClientBFinfo.ClosedReason". Then there is a place to enter a value and and it says "ENTER PARAMETER VALUE." I know it is a problem with one of my tables, specifically the "closed reason" field in the table. But I odn't know why it is asking me to enter a parameter value. Could anyone offer help?
Thanks!
I need a new parameter in my query. When I open the query i need the parameter to be asked in a combo box or drop down box or any way to select the value from the groupo other than typing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a new parameter in my query which enables me to select from a field in the table rather than typing .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to run a query automatically in the gotfocus event of a field within a form.
Prior to the gotfocus, a value is entered in an unbound text box on the form and I want to use that value for the maximum value in the parameters. I will set the minimum to zero.
My code errors in the where, it has no problem with the serial number but I can't seem to set the deliv_no to pull the value entered on the form.
SELECT Sum(VOLTEST.unc_del) AS SumOfunc_del
FROM VOLTEST
WHERE (((VOLTEST.SERIAL_NO)=[Forms]![largeVolume1]![serial]) AND ((VOLTEST.DELIV_NO)>0 And (VOLTEST.DELIV_NO)<=([Forms![largeVolume1]![No_del])));
I figure this is a syntax problem. Can you guys see where I have gone wrong?
I need the value to write to the table, not the form when this runs.
Thanks, GG
In my chart I have a yes/no field that I would like to set up a query to for. I want the user to be able to input yes or no and then the data be displayed. Whenever I enter yes or no when the prompt comes up, I get an error saying the expression is typed incorrectly or the data is too complex. How do I set it up so the user can select yes or no in some way? thanks
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all.I have a form that links to another form using the following macro "[homerid]=[Forms]![Homer Input]![homerid]" so when I click on form 2 the homerid from form 1 is automatically displayed. However on my switchboard I have a direct link to my Form 2 but when I click on this i get a box come up which is titled "enter parameter value" and then the subtitle is "[homerid]=[Forms]![Homer Input]![homerid]", this is fine, but I would like to change the subtitle to something i write myself such as "please enter homerid". Is their a way of doing this? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have been programing SQL for almost 3 years now but, am a newbie with access. I have just added a field to a form used by employees to enter time and am getting a parameter request when the user clicks Add Entry. I placed a msgBox before the insert line and noticed the field data (type memo) is being sent by the insert query as an integer (without quotes). Any ideas how I might get the insert to pass the Comments field as a string?
Thanks,

Set Start & End Dates
I have a list box that lists the 52 week numbers of the year
week 1 being 26-03-2005 to 01-04-2005
week 2 being 02-04-2005 to 08-04-2005....etc.
My aim
By choosing a week no all the records within that date will be returned
I am trying to do away with having to type the start and end date each time a search is carried out
I need to be able to click on the week no and from that the results are shown. perhaps in another list box or something
Any thoughts on how to make this sort of thing work?
thanks
Hello,
I am designing a query as i have been advised in the following Quote:
Doc ManNow, you write a couple of queries. As a parameter to the queries, choose a date that will be your archiving cutoff or split point. Usually the last day of some month or quarter. Doesn't matter as long as you are consistent about it. The technical cutoff will be, in effect, 23:59:59 of the chosen date. The first record to be KEPT will be 00:00:00 of the next day in sequence.
Query #1 - Compute stock on hand as of your cutoff date. Create a single stock-on-hand transaction with the cutoff date. Put it in a temporary table until you need it. This will be a two-layer query. I.e. a query of a query.
Query #1A - a summation query grouped by item number for all transactions earlier than the archiving date so you can get the "inventory of X at archiving date"
Query #1B - an append query that draws from the summation query and feeds it to the temp table. The stock-on-hand record will have the archiving date
.
I am able to get "inventory of X at archiving date" and append the results to a temporary table but I can't see how to append the "archiving Date" data itself to the same table as the "Archiving date" is entered via parameter prompt? Any ideas?
Hi!
When I run a querry I have a parametr querry like this:
Between[FirstDate] and [LastDate]
I want to "catch" the FirstDate and LastDate from the parameter querry and place them in the head of the Report based on the same querry.
How do I do this????
Hi there
When using parameters from one form to the next I normally hide the form and then reference the parameter textboxes in the next form to the hidden form. Is there a better way of doing this as I saw threads here mentioning passing a parameter. How do I do this? Thanks!

How can you control SQL statement parameters with VBA? The SQL statement will not accept a variable.:confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of queries put in 1 macro. Of course, some queries have the same parameter [Enter current monthend] so when I run a macro, there are few popups asking to [Enter current monthend]. It’s annoying for users to put in the same parameter 2 or 3 times for a report. Is there a way to avoid it?
I tried to make [Enter current monthend] as a new_field so the 2nd query could pick up new_field instead of [Enter current monthend] again but that gave me an error b/c the new_field automatically has ‘binary’ datatype instead of ‘date’ datatype. How can I fix this?
Thanks.
ok, im new to access, so please bear with me!
i ma building a database for my boss, and everything was going somewhat smoothly until i got to parameters in my queries...
i have a date parameter in one query that reads, "enter date to view"
that worked fine, but now, whenever i make another query, even if it uses different parameters, when i run the query, the "enter date to view" appears, followed by the real paramater...
how do i correct this?!?!
thanks!
