Hi!
I was out of the office yesterday and today I came back and got into the database and now it's asking for a parameter. As I didn't set parameters for anything I have no clue where this could have come from. I have checked everywhere and cannot find this. Is there a way it will tell me where this is so I can get rid of it.
Ok, I reckon there's a gremlin in this damn db...
For a form, i have a series of check boxes. One of these had a & symbol in the name, i originally had this working, but with some extra functionality added it no longer became possible, as it recognised it as a special character. The checkbox, and relating table reference was Inform_Q&FS I changed all references of it to Inform_QFS. However, im getting a parameter window pop up asking for the original reference. I've tracked it down to a point between a button being clicked and the begining of the following forms load Sub. The point of the button method triggering the parameter window is the line where the button changes the subform to the new form.
Here is the db..
Could somebody please take a look and see whats going on... im starting to get really frustrated with databases. :(
Also, any general comments regarding the db are welcome, as i'm assuming im doing things the right way there. and excuse the messy coding
I have a query that asks for the start date and end date in order to generate the results. I have a report built off of it.
I changed the name of the fields so that there are no spaces. The query still runs correctly. However, when I try to open the report, I get asked for the start date, the end date, and the start date again. I assume is is somehow still looking for the original start date--the one with the space. I have checked the sorting and grouping and the fields on the report, but I can't find where it might be. Does anyone know where else to look?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee

I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
Hi,
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.
A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.
Hi all,
Can i populate a parameter just like i populate a combo box?

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,

Hello,
I do not know what I did but now when I open my database it asks me over and over again to "enter parameter value" and it won't let me open the database like normal. Please help!

Is there any way I can do a search that lets me put in a section of a part number and the part number be found? I only see how I can find the number if I put in the entire number.
Thanks
I think this is fairly simple, but being as I haven't ever done it! I want to do a search to find all records less those called "Default". As I say I just cant think how to do it. Any help appreciated. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey everyone,
Im creating a database for college using MS access 2003.
I have 3 table that contain data and i am building form to allow a user to search for a particular customer. The customer ID in my customer table is an auto number.
I have a button on my form and it shows the find and replace box when pressed which is what i want but i then want it so that when a user types a customer ID number in to that find and replace box and it is an exact match for the find and replace box to auto close else show an Error message and allow the user to input another customer number,
Im sure there is macro code to do this so im asking if anyone knows or has any better ideas?
Thanks for your time
Hello Expert,
I have attempted for two days to following codes. I am still unable to get the way out. Would you give me a help?
The field fund_cd is a combo box of transaction table to look up reference table called fund_type. Here is the structure of fund_type:
fund_cd text 3
fund_desc text 50
fund_currency text 5
My needs are to pull both values of fund_cd and fund_currency to transaction table, so 1 combo box cannot meet my needs. As such, I write following codes to base on selected fund_cd to find appropriate value of fund_currency in fund_type.
From the code below, I meet the run-time error ‘3001’ and I am not sure can I finally get fund_currency using method of GetString.
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strccy As String
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
rst.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rst.Open "Select * from fund_type"
strSQL = "fund_cd = " & Me.fund_cd
rst.MoveFirst
rst.Find strSQL, 0, adSearchForward
strccy = rst.GetString(adClipString)
Thanks very much!

I am trying to code a combo box control to find a record. This is incredibly simple but for some reason it won't work. Could you tell me what I am missing.
I have put the following code in the after update of the control
Dim rs as Object
Set rs= Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ContestNo]='"&Me![Combo23] & "'"
Me.Bookmark=rs.Bookmark
I don't get any errors but it won't work either...any ideas??
thanks in advance,

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!
