Annoying Problem.

Oct 7, 2005

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

Annoying Parameter

Apr 6, 2005

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!

Annoying Combos

May 27, 2006

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.

Annoying Query, Yet Simple? - Please Help.

Jul 29, 2005

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.

Yes My Sql Newby Nuss Is Annoying =(

Nov 14, 2006

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 =)

Annoying Popup Messages

Jun 6, 2007

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

One Annoying Duplicate Record Problem!!!

Aug 4, 2005

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

Currency Field Formatting - Simple But Annoying Issue!

Jan 10, 2007

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!
