Why 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.
View RepliesHi 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 :)
How could I set an new autonumber column in query (from 1 to n) while my columns are sort according time left period?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm just looking for a way to add an additional column to a select query that will just be autonumbered down all the way to the bottom of the data. How can I accomplish this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have got a number of queries that query an MSSQL database that were running fine, but then I decided to tidy them up by giving them more meaningful column headings eg Pupil ref instead of tblPupil. Some of the queries are still fine but in some of them I can't get the columns to display in the order I want. In one, I have got columns called Round, Pupil ref and School but I can't stop the Pupil ref column coming first. If I delete it and put it in again, I can get it to go where I want (ie second) but as soon as I name it, it comes first and stays there even if I remove the name.
Please can anyone help

Hi, I have a querie that returns various data based on the page of a part's Sub-Assembly. There are 4 basic items returned for each page that display in my subform it displays as follows:
SpecID - Page # - Part# - Description - etc.
4 basic SubAssembly Descriptions are
1 - A Text Description of Assembly as a whole (varies for each record and usually has a number such as 2" or 3" or 4" etc at beginning of field)
2 - Valve
3 - Selenoid
4 - Actuator
I want to sort these records so that the first field is that Text description field. I tried sort descending and this does sort descending but puts text field last. (i Know that this is because it is sorting on text first and then intergers. But I don't know how to program multiple OrderBy for this column. How can I sort by intergers first and then by text on this field? :o
Thanks for any help!
I create an inventory report which source is from a query. I have set a field "Date" displaying in ascending order in query. But the report cannot achieve that result.
My code is:
Private Sub PrtDelRec_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "DeletionTransferRpt", acViewPreview
End sub
So, I have some complicated calculations I am aliasing in my SQL query. My end goal would be to sort by my final calculation from all the other calculations I have performed but I am running in to some issues. I know I can't sort by referencing the alias itself without saying order by (column number). My calculations are usually pretty small (around .001 and up). Whenever I order by the column number I would like to use (select... from... where...order by 73) I get a "Division by zero" error in access. I figured this was an issue with how small the calculations were, so I multiplied by 1000000, then ordered by that column number. Still division by zero...I went ahead and changed all 0 values to 1, still division by zero. There are no zero values in the column itself, it's either 1 or something in the thousands. I can order by other columns, just not the one I want to use. I don't want to have to re-do my entire calculations in my order by clause.

Why Access 2010 does not save the Datasheet order?? I keep setting the order and it puts it back again
I have set the order in the design. I have set the tab index individually for each item. I says in the tab order that they are in the correct order. I reorder them in the datasheet and click on save. Nothing sets that order. It will revert it back to the order that IT wants every time.
I have a subform in which I display a table in Datasheet View. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to place the columns in the order (i.e. from left to right) I want.
For some reason, right-clicking on a column header in Form View and selecting Freeze Fields will shift that column to the left but I can find no consistent pattern to it and no other way of shifting a column. Reordering the columns in the table itself seems to have no effect on the order they appear on the subform and moving the controls around in the subform in Design View also seems to have no effect.
I created a query, and in field one i have a list of SKU codes (of which many are repeats), and in field two I have their corresponding volumes. In Fields 3-5 I have some various algebraic calcuations.
Now, in order to get a sum of the volume with only one SKU code listed in column 1, I use a group by on the SKU code, and a sum for the volume. When these are the only fields in the query, this works great. But when I add in the other calculated fields, the run query returns to showing each SKU code multiple times, and shows the volume and the calculations correctly. When I change the other calculated fields to Sum, then I get the aforementioned overflow error and no output at all.
Is there a way to both set it so that the output is only showing one SKU code, the total volume for that SKU, and the weighted average output of the other calculations in one query?
I have a list box and a series of 11 fields a user can search by. My problem is that the List Box has changed the column order.
Example: In the design wizard of the list box I had it such that the columns were in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Now after I hit search the fields populate out of order... 4, 9, 2, 1, etc...
I am trying to create an auto-sequential order number
Example : AB000112 - AB is standard prefix, ''0001'' is the first invoice number, ''12'' is the year 2012.
so the next order number should read AB000212 and the next AB000312
Out of this, I have to issue several debit notes relating to the same order number when the payments are due from customers over a period of time, this will be
001AB000112
002AB000112
003AB000112
Can such numbers be the primary key?
I've been using MS Access 2007 for years to manage some Excel data. running some queries etc. Just recently I've been encountering problems when importing data into an existing table. When I do it now, I get a "Subscript out of Range" error. To troubleshoot, I imported into a new table and when doing so, the fields no longer match the column order of the spreadsheet. They all get imported but appears in a different order. I think this is why I am getting the error message. How can I go about ensuring that the data gets imported properly into my already existing table? My fields in "Design View" will match the order of the Columns in the Excel spreadsheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm opening a search form using DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acFormDS, , stLinkCriteria for user filtering purposes. I added a column which it now appears as the last column - I need it to be the 4th WHEN THE FORM OPENS. I can move after it opens, but it won't default there. Tried rebuilding the query and the form, but it still opens with this column at end of form - how can it be placed where I want it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk so here is my problem:
I have a form that is realted to four differnt tables with the names: CUSTOMER, ORDER, PRODUCT AND ORDER LINE. With-in the table Order-Line there is a entity called, line_item_cost whcih is the total amount of the order with respect to Quanity_Ordered which comes from the ORDER LINE table and Price which comes from the PRODUCT table and Discount (%) which comes from the CUSTOMER table. When the users goes to change the Quantity_Ordered I need the form to automaticly update the line_item_cost which would calculate [Price]*[Quantity_Ordred]-[Price]*[Discount] . I tried to build a code in VBA to do this, Here is the Code:
Dim a, b, c, d
a = Me.[Quantity_Ordered]
b = Me.[Price]
c = Me.[Discount]
d = a * b - b* c
Me.[Line_Item_Cost] = d
VBA Complies the program but it does not show up in my form.
I think I might be updating it at the wrong point.
Any Suggestions.????

View 5 Replies View RelatedI wanted to auto populate an invoice record with same values as previously ordered by that same customer. I don't want to use default values as every customer orders different things.
BUT almost all customers make REPEAT orders of exactly the same things they ordered previously.
So...for example, can I search the invoice records by customer ID/Name and copy all the data from their previous into a new invoice record. I guess I could do this with an append query?
But will an append query run when I just click on 'new record' in the invoice form? Maybe there is a property '.on new record'...open append query....?

View 2 Replies View Relatedim trying to autosize list box columns depending on the size of the largest field in the column?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?
I'm using a combo box to pull data from a table to auto populate the fields on my form. But for some reason, it stops inserting the data after city (column(6) and I can't figure out what's going on. When I run the query the data is there, if I change the order of the columns, the data shows. Here's the code:
Me.txtadjusterfname.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(0)
Me.txtadjusterlname.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(1)
Me.txtadjustertitle.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(2)
Me.txtadjustertype.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(3)
Me.txtadjustercompany.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(4)
Me.txtadjusteraddress.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(5)
Me.txtadjustercity.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(6)
Me.txtadjusterstate.Value = Me.cboAdjusterlkp.Column(7)
Access 2010. The first table is called Clients.The Primary Key field for the Clients table is an AutoNumber field called ClientID.The other two relevant fields in this table are ClientFirstName and ClientLastName. The second table is called Contacts.In the Contacts table is a foreign key field, bound to the ClientID field from the Clients table, and also named ClientID.
On the Contacts table, the ClientID field properties are set on the Lookup tab as follows:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: SELECT clients.ClientID, clients.ClientFirstName, clients.ClientLastName
Bound Column: 1
Further, in the Row Source's Query Builder, ClientFirstName and Client LastName both have Ascending selected as Sort criteria.
Everything works as intended: When entering data into the the Contacts table (actually, the data is entered via a form built from the Contacts table) the data entry person can click the drop-down on the combo box for the ClientID field, scroll through ClientID records, and see unique ID numbers sorted by first and last names. And the actual data for the field is stored properly as the unique ClientID number.
When entering ClientID data into the Contacts table (or form), is it possible to enable autofill based on ClientFirstName and ClientLastName, rather than ClientID? For instance, let's say we have a few clients named Joe Smith. It would be great to just start typing "Joe Smith," and have the field autofill the ClientID number for the first client named Joe Smith. The intention is to make data entry a bit quicker.
I have a SQL table that holds financial data. There are 12 columns labled Acct_Per01 through Acct_Per12. I need to select specific GL codes and sum the values in these columns as various groupings, Private, Commercial, Ancillary etc. for each of 14 hospitals.
How can I best create a working table where I have one record for each hospital for each fiscal period.
I want the final table structure be be like the sample below.
Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Hospital ALX
Private 79,500
Commercial 0
