Hello to all the xperts out there,
I have a query with this criteria for Date field:
Where (([tblList].Date)>=#11/1/2005# And ([tblList].Date)<#12/1/2005#))
Is there any quick way, besides creating a form and run the query based on it, to have this criteria updated itself when it's a new month? I've gotten tired of changing it every month.
Thanks in advance
hi...
im trying to create like a test in access. this is the idea. the user open the first form to enter the info like student number, name and so on. when he clicks the button he goes to another form where is the first question. in the top part is the student number wich was obtained from the First form and an option group with the answers to the question of the label box. Also a timer was included so the form close after one minute using the form_timer event. everything seem to work fine but when i go to the table to see the answers of the student, it look like if the student took the test for the number of questions, in this case forms, so if there is 20 questions(forms) it appears 20 times under the same student number, cuz all the questions are in diferent forms. then i try to take out this line from the first form when the user click the button:
DOCMD.GOTORECORD,, aclast
when i take that line out it seem to work fine only that when the user click the cmd button it goes to the first record instead of the active student record.
So then i thought of tab pages making them not visible until the user click the cmd button. it work fine with the cmd button but how do i put a timer to all the tab pages so that when time expires the next tab appear??
is that a bit hard??/
any help would be appreciated, thanx
I'm creating a leave (holiday) database but each year must be kept seperate for analysis. (I have split the front and backend of the database) I thought of using a dropdown on the main page which could be used to select the year which relates to the leave being dealt with. Depending on the choice selected (present financial year as default) the links would update to the required database.
Any ideas?
I am new with Access database and I found almost everything i needed on the internet. There is only one thing I just cant figure out when this looked like one of the easier things. Im making a database where all soorts of keys of all kinds of companies and homes are stored. In this database I want to keep track of the keys that are being used, who has the keys and when the keys are taken and brought back.
Most of these things work except one thing. In the table where I have the keys I have a field wich is 'In use'. This is a yes/no field and I want it to be yes when someone takes a key and to switch back to no when someone returns it. This is possible if it is done by the employees who use the keys but i want it to go automatically so no mistakes are made.
I have one table for the keys, one for the employees that take and return the keys, I use a master with detail form for when someone takes or returns a key and this is all shown in a query.
In a field called PSSheets I want the number to be update every new entry, if I use the AutoNumber feature it won't let me enter the number I want to start with, which is 1421001, then the next number would be 1421002 and so on right up to 1421200 and then the number would change to 1422001.
14/21/001 relates to Year/Week/Entry.

I'm making a db that will import a spreadsheet from Excel, then separate it into 3 different tables using queries, but then I need to put all the 3 different tables together one after the other. The problem is that the 3rd column on each table have different names on each table, so I can't append the tables together.
So, how can I use a Macro or something to change the column name on all 3 different tables so that they match and can all get appended together.
I have a form with one control field that I paste a 17 digit alpha numeric value into. I have a command button that then runs a query based on the pasted value.
Is there a way to automatically change the data I paste to include the first eight characters, replace the 10th and 12th position with wild cards, and delete the remaining 6 characters ?
Example:
Copy: 1GTEM14M0WZ526688
hey all, In my database (For a doctors practice) I have individual patient records with information about them on there. There are 5 boxes showing the current medication, if any, that they are on. The form is all linked up and so when I go through each record for each patient all the data changes as it should. I have a seperate table with all of the drug information on it and I want to be able to click on the box on the patient form (One of the boxes that has one of their medications in) and I want it to be able to automatically put the name of that drug in a search query and bring up the results in a report or form view. Is it possible to do this?
So far I have managed to create a control button on the pateint data form and when clicked, it asks for a a parameter value i.e. the name of the drug. I'd like to be able to miss out this step and for it to automatically enter the name of the drug from the text box into the serach criteria.
PLEASE HELP! I need this urgently!
Thank you for your time.

I'm an amateur (is there such a thing as having databases as a hobby?) with little training. I volunteered to organize a growing volunteer group I'm a part of by making a simple database for the volunteer office staff. One of the things I want it to do is make name tags for our weekly meetings. I don't want to print one for each name on our list because the list is over 400 names long with only around 35 regular attendees. I made two tables--one is the MakeNameTag table that lists regular attendees (it is a lookup field on the Names table).
The other is the Absences table. It has two fields; DateOfAbsence and MakeNameTag. If someone misses a meeting (does not pick up their name tag), their name is added to the Absences table. A query then filters the table for dates in the last 28 days. If their names shows up four times in the last 28 days I want for their name to be deleted from the MakeNameTag table. How to do that automatically? Our office volunteers have minimal PC skills, so the solution needs to be very user-friendly.
You will see it is a simple problem if you know what your are doing.
When entering the joining date I would like the Status to change automatically to Member and when the renewal date is reached I would like the status to automatically change to Renewal but I am unable to work out a formula for this.
Many Thanks,
Fredfox.
I have a database consisting of one table with 5 columns, called Name, Zip Code, Model, Serial #, and Reference #
I made a form with 5 text boxes (generically named Field 1 through 5), and then I built a query. I put all five of the table's fields in the query. In the criteria fields of those five columns, I have
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field1] & "*"
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field2] & "*"
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field3] & "*"
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field4] & "*"
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field5] & "*"
However, here in lies the problem:
Some of the records don't have a reference field included, and others don't have serial numbers, and etc. Basically, some records have blank fields.
So to find all of "John"s records, we would put John in Field1, and then run the query.
The first criteria is now looking for *John*, which is correct (it might find Jack John, Johnny, John John, or anything else with j o h n in it).
The rest of the criteria are now looking for **.
However, what about the records with blank fields?
John ; _____ ; SDMS71 ; 1231234 ; REF9001 will NOT make it into the query, because that blank field for some reason doesn't meet the ** wildcard!
how can I accomodate this "blank field" problem? I want those records with blank fields to still be included in the query, because they still belong to "John", and that's what i wanted to search for! :(
I have a database with 20 queries designed specifically for my department (SAM). A friend would like to use my database i.e. queries, reports, etc., but her department is named different (PAM).
The the field names in the each of our imported 'data' is the same, EXCEPT, each record in her department data field has "PAM" mine "SAM". However, her department is not part of my data import nor mine of hers nor will they ever be.
How can I, except manually, change every instance of "SAM" to "PAM" in the 20 queries?
Thanks

Is there anyway to change the criteria in a field without going into design view I bascially need to be able to type in a particular item in a certain field in a query and it return all the results for that one.
The database has over 160000 records and when I try using a form it takes forever.
Hi,
The query for my form has a boolean field with ' like "No" ' in the criteria. I want users to be able to use a command button to change this to ' like "Yes" ' then requery the form.
Basically, what I want to do is toggle between current records ("No" in the boolean) and Archived Records ("Yes" in the boolean).
Any ideas?

Hello, I am trying to change some query critera with a script.
Basically I have a drop down list which I select and once selected it requeries a subform. I would like to change one of my query parameters, specifically the criteria in a column.
To change query "MyQuery" column "Model" criteria, I've tried:
Code:!Queries!MyQuery!Model.Criteria = "Ultra5"
but that doesn't work. Is that even close to being right?
Thanks in advance!
Good afternoon,
I need to use a selection from a drop down list to change the criteria in a query as opposed to typing text in a parameter box. This is to allow the user to choose from a list and then click on a command button to move to the next query. There are 20,000 records in the table. The series of queries will take the user to 1 or 2 records in 3 or 4 mouse clicks.
Thanks
Is there any way of making data that is inputted in lower case to automatically change to the first letter of each word being a capital ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have built a database with only my department in mind that tracks three types of documents; Which works fine. Now some of my fellow department heads desire to use what I have built.
This is not a problem as their data structure is the same. The difficulty lies in changing the 30 queries. In the queries I hard coded my department number in the receiver (department field) criteria.
Additionally, my HQ is requesting me to perform some analysis on the other department's data. So other than manually changing the department number each time; Can I use a form or report to modify these 30 queries? I attempted to use a combo box but it would not hold the value when I closed the form.
I saw this thread today, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102036 , but am not sure it will do what I want.
Suggestions welcomed.

Hi there,
I have a search form with a text box (unassigned at the moment). The search I want to conduct, filters the product number by the users search string with the use of * as a wildcard option.
I also have a Query with all the product numbers listed, no criteria set. How can I link the the search string in the search form to the query so when the search button is pressed, it will filter the results.
Any help appreciated.
I have managed to build a macro that will run a query I have in Access but what I would like to do is be able to change some of the query criteria using the macro script or any other way possible.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I created one normal method query of ACCESS "QueryEQ" on that table , but every time I want to change any criteria I have to edit manual direct to query design .
What I need to do now is to create a form with one combo box showing all "model" and after select any mode I have to press command bottom to change the criteria of the model of the existing query "QueryEQ" and run it and show the result in a subform in same form.
I use expression on the query field, but after I run it, the field change its format from number to text, how to reformat on the query criteria to change the text to integer format?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a table named z_ResltsSampleCountMonthly. In that table I have fields SampleSize, Month and LOB.
I have a report that I need to use a Dlookup in order to pull the SampleSize by LOB into my report. However, my report has three columns that change based on the start and end dates for the report. It shows current month plus the two prior months to show a trend.
So I have each column heading update automatically based on the dates the user enters into the start and end date on the main menu form.
If they select 12/1/14 to 12/31/14 the three columns heading would update to October 2014, November 2014, and December 2014. In the table I have the data for all three months so when I use this formula it works but it's putting September 2014 data under October 2014 so I need to have multiple criteria; one being the LOB and the other being the column heading which is equal to the field Month in the table.
Code:
=DLookUp("[SampleSize]","z_ResultsSampleCountMonthly","[LOB] = ""CMES""")
This is what I tried to do to add the second criteria to pull based on text59 being equal to the Month field in the table but it's not working:
Code:
=DLookUp("[SampleSize]","z_ResultsSampleCountMonthly","[LOB] ="CMES" And [Month] = ' " & [Text59] & " ' ")
Is it possible to run a query and have the background color of the query field be highlighted if a certain criteria is met?
I'd like to use the expresion builder if possible.
For example if the values in field A and field B do not match, then field C should be a yellow background.
If this is possible, how is it done?
