I am creating a query which uses 2 unbound text boxes to populate a Between function for 2 date fields. If I fill in the dates, it returns the corresponding data. If I leave them blank, however, it returns no records. Is there an easy way to tweak the query to return all records if left blank?
View RepliesHi guys, I have a query that displays records that fall between 2 dates (using 2 input text fields). How can I make it dispaly all records if the user just leaves the dates blank?
I've searched through some forums and found that I can make this happen by using IS NOT NULL. But when I tried putting it in the OR row in my date field (and all other places), the result is that the query displays all records that have a date value regardless of my other filters.
Can anyone point me in the right direction where I should actually place the IS NOT NULL? I attached my Query view for easier understanding.
Thanks a lot!
I have two queries. The unique key in both queries is GUID for katalogposition.
One is showing me records which has an product end date (Produkt slut dato) between today and end date of next month. This query works fine and is called q_termination.
The second one shows me unmatched records in the first query (q_termination). The query works fine and is called yq_NonTermination.
The goal is now to show me records from the first query "q_termination" that fullfill one of two criterias.
1. No match in second query "yq_NonTermination"
2. Match BUT product end date (Produkt slut dato) is greater than the match in "yq_NonTermination".
I have made a left join query on the field "Dublet_Lagervarer". From the join query the goal is to show me only q_Termination.Guid for Katalogposition number 47 and 134008.
How can I do that? Is there another way to do it? Please see attachment.
how to have our query show ONLY the records with NO DATA in the company field?
View 12 Replies View RelatedVery suddenly today, when I'd done seemingly nothing, all of the records from my form that I'd built from a blank form disappeared, with the exception of the first record. When I try to just close everything down, nothing changes. When I put in a new record to the form, however, it's saved in the table. But when I save and close, the form goes back to only having the first record! This is very annoying, for easily perceivable reasons. I even tried creating the form from scratch, to see if it's some residual SQL update code acting funny, and nothing changed! It seems to work if I select a table and just create a form, though. It doesn't even work when it's a splitform and whatnot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently decided to move a database that had all its information on 1 table and divided it into multiple tables.
Attached is the relationship as well as the form.
The issue I have is that when I click the form, it only shows a blank record with none of previous records.
Data entry is already set to NO. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my relationships, tblStudioDescription is the parent table and the others are child tables so I linked them with the ID and set referential integrity.
I am wanting to ensure that a couple of combo boxes are not left empty, searching the forum I found this:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull([cboBox1]) Or IsNull([cboBox2]) Then
Beep
MsgBox "Please enter a value etc ", vbCritical, "Incomplete Data Entry"
DoCmd.CancelEvent
End If
End Sub
This is similar to other solutions I came across, problem is it isn't working, I have 2 controls on my form called cboBox1 & cboBox2 so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Would be grateful for any suggestions.

I have a questions database. When user is filling out the form, the following fields are required: Questions, Author, Type of Question and Answer selected. Answer is selected by clicking on the button next to the Answers. If these fields are not filled out, a user gets a prompt saying that so and so field is blank. If have a problem, it works for all required fields except for Answer. Below is my code. I have attached a screenshot with Author and Answers blank. I only get a warning about the Author and not the Answers.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
nullerr = 0
strnull = ""
If IsNull(Me.txtQuestion) Then
nullerr = 1

Hi all,
I am having a problem getting my query to work properly. I have read through this query section but it just got me more confused. I know some have used IIF function but it didn't work for me.
here's my code:
SELECT tblEmployee.UserName, tblODF.ODFNumber, tblQueue.Queue, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate
FROM tblStatus INNER JOIN (tblQueue INNER JOIN (tblEmployee INNER JOIN tblODF ON tblEmployee.EmployeeID = tblODF.EmployeeID) ON tblQueue.QueueID = tblODF.QueueID) ON tblStatus.StatusID = tblODF.StatusID
ORDER BY tblEmployee.UserName, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate;
I want everything to show even if one of the fields is blank.
Thank you
Hi
I have set up a form to run a query with the criteria linked to the options/drop down menus on the form. I am able to search for criteria set out in the combo boxes. However, what i would like to ensure is that if the drop down boxes are left blank the results will be to show 'all' results for that field.
help is greatly appreciated!
thanks in Advance!

Hello,
I have used the left function to provide me with the left x characters of a field, which works fine.
Description: Left([c$products],[diff])
However, I want to query this field to only give me certain descrpitions, but it will not work.
Can anyone let me know if this is possible, or if I'm totally out of luck,
Thanks,

I have an imported table with zipcodes, some are 5 digit some are 9. When i go to build my query i dont get an accurate number, i tried a left function to get the 1st 5 digits but keep getting a invalid syntax. I am in the query builder. anyone help me with syntax, heres what i currently have
Mail Zipcode «Expr» Left («stringexpr», «n»)
Hi all - I have a database that has only 1 field of patient names (e.g., "Johnson,Peter S"). I also have a form that allows clinicians to lookup their patients and I want them to be able to type in the last name of their patient and get the info they need. Anyone know how to pull just the part of the name BEFORE the comma (i.e., the last name only)? The Left function won't do it because the last names are different lengths.
Also, is there a way to have the form pull all the names after each letter they enter? So when the user typed "J" it would pull Johnson, Jones, Jackowa, etc, but when they typed the "o" it would decrease the list to only Johnson and Jones.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.
I am a bit of a novice when it comes to Access, but have managed to create a form with a subform embedded and various filters to show different data within the subform, including a date range filter. The code I have used for these filters is as follows:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = createCriteria("[Introductions].Town", "List78")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Ownership", "List52")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Company", "List54")
[Code] ....
This all works fine, but I'm wondering what I need to add to this code to make it so that if the date boxes are left blank, records from all dates are displayed. At the moment I have to enter dates in order for it to work properly.
Hi there,
I have a query with Expr3: Left([POK],2) as one of my fields.
Whenever I try to run the query it pops out a message window saying
Syntax error (comma) in query expression.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, hope someone can help me. I want to run a query which acts on data in a table which has been imported from excel, where it was somewhat mangled. Basically, the field shows telephone numbers, but the leading zeros on the phone numbers have mostly been discarded. I want to replace the zeros if they're missing. (Here in the UK phone numbers always start with zero). What I'm trying to use is:
IIf(Left[fieldname],1)="0",[fieldname], "0" &[fieldname]))
But I get errors, I think maybe because of the first comma(?). Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? Any suggestions appreciated.
I have a column with a date in it, and the left four characters are the year. I want to add another column that is just the year. I've tried doing an update query and updating the year column to left(date,4) but it doesn't work. How should I go about updating my year column?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI developed a database in 2005 and used the 'Left' function in many of the queries to obtain the the correct text for output to reports. The database worked extremely well for a year and a half.
I have not accessed it for the past year. Recently I opened the database for use with a new project and I keep receiving the error message:
! Undefined function 'Left' in expression.
I haven't changed any of the expressions and do not understand why this funtion no longer works.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi!In my query i'd like to format a selected field.At the moment i write it like this:MyOwnFieldName:[Table].Field I want to achieve:MyOwnFieldName: Left([Table].Field, 4) & "-" & Right([Table].Field, 4).Is this possible?Thanks for helpful feedback ;)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have seen variations of this question and have tried to modify for my purpose, but have been unsuccessful. I need to extract the first four digits of the Social Security Number. We no longer view the whole number, but a variation of the first four of social and first four of first name. I have tried many variations of the Left Function to extract the data from the field:
Expr1: SSN(Left([SSN],4))
Expr1: Left([SSN],4)
Etc.
I get various errors, mostly involving the comma. I am at a loss since I usually search for the code and find that it works. In this case, it doesn't work. I am also trying to extract the first four of the first name and will later combine the two although I broke it down since I couldn't get the basic "left" function to work.
Please help if possible. :)
I have to query a record with 2 of the same static characters. "-".I can get the left function with the first " but I can't get the rest up to the second "-"
Example: B-4352B-PXP02W01-10
TagNo: Left([EventInstanceID],InStr([EventInstanceID],"-")) Brings me the first char plus "-" The next section is needed also but the remainder is not.
Needed: B-4352B
Is there a Mid Function that I could add to go to the second chaacter instead of stopping at the first one?
I managed to produce a working Query with AllenBrowne's ConcatRelated function.What i'm unable to do is a new query with left join on the result of the query using the ConcatRelated function.I get error 3075: syntax error (missing operator) in query expression (free translation - MS ACCESS not English version)
If I do the normal join then it works fine, but I only get rows for which there are related concatenated values. But I do also need those rows where there are no concatenated values' fields.
In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have
caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year)
officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)
This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587
I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).
Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
