Hi everyone,
I am looking for some help with a particular problem. I have a report based on a query and at the moment it is ordered by a particular column.
What I want to be able to happen is that the user chooses what they want the query (and subsequently) the report to be ordered by before they run the report by means of a combo box or something like that.
Is this possible in anyway?
Thanks.
Gareth.
Hi,
Is there a way to automatically choose a value such as 0 if the expression goes to a negative number?
E.g. I have a query that will subtract a numeric field from 10. If 10 - [numericfield] is less than 0, then I only want it to display 0. Otherwise, it can display the value if it is positive.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I have a requirement to filter some queries periodically on the date field.
What I want to do is create a form that lets you choose which query to use and filter and not create alot of single forms.
The filter will be only be applied whilst the form is open.
Cheers

I am setting up an Access database for a small school. The database contains a record per person. When we get a duplicate lastname field we set a family_id field to lastname followed by a number.
So for example the first Smith family needs to family_id. But the second Smith family gets a family_id of smith1. To select an ordered list of Families I need a query that will use the family_id if it is set and if not use the the lastname to collect family members.
My query uses a presorted table, CurStuByGrdTbl , of current students to produce the families directory by grade and alphabetized.
The WellSchoolCommunityAll table is the entire database. So if the student entry has a valid family_id, matching pattern "*#" then
I perform a Like with family.id otherwise I perform a Like with lastname.
This query gets me nothing, no records.
IIf(([CurStuByGrdTbl].[family_id]="*#"),[CurStuByGrdTbl].[family_id] Like [WellSchoolCommunityAll].[family_id],[CurStuByGrdTbl].[lastname] Like [WellSchoolCommunityAll].[lastname])
I need to allow a user to select criteria as part of a query.
Running the query manually I would type in either:
"Core Stock"
OR
<>"Core Stock"
in the criteria field of the column.
I tried using the following parameter in the design grid:
Choose([Select 1: Core Stock 2: Not Core Stock : ],"Core Stock",<>"Core Stock")
The "Core Stock" option works but the <>"Core Stock" returns no records.
I would prefer not to use a form if possible . Any ideas ?

Hi
I would like to set up a query that uses two tables. One of the tables, the 'main table', wil be used every time the query is run. Each time a new record is created in the main table a 'new table' is created containing a subset of data - the name of this table uses a ref ID from the main table. I would like to be able to select which 'new table' to use in the query as part of a parameter query.
eg. Main table record 1 has a field JID of J0001 and a corresponding 'new table' titled J0001. record 2 in main table has JID J0002 and creates a 'new table' J0002 etc
so I would like to set the query up such that when a record is chosen in 'main table' the query knows the name of the 'new table' corresponds to the JID of the record in 'main table' ....
Have seen the same question asked but no answer - is this possible ?
any pointers appreciated..
Hello, i was wondering if you could help.

Hi,
I am building a database that calculates freight costs for shipments.
I have one table that has order data with fields such as [Order Number], [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [Weight].
The service level is one of 4 values: PRE 9, PRE 12, NEXT DAY, NEXT DAY +1.
The origin and destination use country codes such as BE, AT, CZ, PL for Belgium, Austria, Czech, and Poland respectively.
I also have rate sheets from carriers such as DHL and UPS and they provide their rates in the following format (numbers are made-up as real rates are confidential): [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [0 to 0.5 kg], [0.5 to 1.0kg], [1.0 to 1.5kg], [1.5 to 2.0kg], etc all the way up to 30kg. The rate is then in the appropriate column and the row gives the origin-destination-service level combination.
(sample freight rate table uploaded as zipped excel sheet in attachment)
I need to return the rate from the appropriate row based on the [Origin], [Destination] and [Service Level] fields (easy enough), which is easy enough.
The hard part is selecting the correct field to return. I tried usign a Choose expression but Access rejected it saying it was too complex (maybe because too many choices?).
So I'm stuck. And working towards a deadline... :-)
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks,
Martin.

I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hi
Can anyone create a form with a combobox where you can select a form and this form will display in an static area.
Then you can choose another form in the combobox and it will display in the same spot.
the forms that will be displayed are exactly the same size.
This would help me very much
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to create a pop up form that asks userto select months for a report to preview. I've writtent he query and done the report. I can do the command button to get the selectmonth form to pop up, but not sure how I pass the selected months into query for the reports. Any tutorials on this or can someone help. I've been looking around but nothing quite fits. Quite new VB also, but have a good understanding programming generally.
Thanks.
UMMonth1: Choose([Enter Qtr],[OperationsAuditData]![1],[OperationsAuditData]![4],[OperationsAuditData]![7],[OperationsAuditData]![10]).But I keep getting an error message "You tried to execute a query that does not include

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an option group that lists a variety of categories which I want to query on.
I know that the option group only returns values.
In the Option Group, On Time = 1, Over Due =2 ,,,,
I am using a Choose function in my query. That is working fine. But ... I would like to have a last choice called "All" such that when selected all data is shown (i.e., On Time, Over Due, ....).
I am using the following:
Choose ([optiongrpStatus],"On Time", "Over Due", .... ,???) as my query criteria.
Have not figured what I can put in the last choice to get all data.
Tried "Is Not Null", tried "On Time or Over Due" - know these don't make sense -just wanted to try.
I am new to access. What I want to do is to set up a button in where the value that I typed in a text box besides it, be transferred to the corresponding cell type.
Let's say I typed 100, and then I click Income or Expense, If I press Income it will be sent over to the cell containing the incomes and etc. A check box works too.
Next thing that I want is to create a sub category.
If I have a large categories list like in the personal account ledger template, I want to be able to select a main category and if it has a sub category, give me a drop down box to select the corresponding one.
I enter my value, choose whether its income or expense, date and etc, then if I choose the "Home" category, I want it to allow me to also select whether its "Phone", "Water" and so on.
I have a quite complicated formula that I run in excel and I am wondering whether there is an alternative to do this in access:
=CHOOSE(MATCH(B1,INDEX(LARGE(INDEX($B$1:$B$65536*( $A$1:$A$65536=A1),0),COUNTIF(A:A,A1)-(ROW(INDIRECT("1:" & COUNTA(A:A)))-1)),0),0),"1st","2nd","3rd","4th") & " best"
Which gives me the below
name/ score/ peronal best) -> logic if participant has only one score - this remains his/her first best; if more than 1 scores - then the lowest gets 1st best, second lowest - 2nd best, etc....
See below the output:
Anna

I'll start by saying that I'm not sure which sub-forum to choose, as my question(s) covers several areas, so I have tried with this one first.
I'm currently making a database, which among other things contains a 'Port of Call list' table. I have a form, where I can add data to this table, meaning, that whenever a vessel has left its port, user can update following: Port name, security level, arrival date and departure date.
What I need is two things (it might be more or less the same):
1. When user click a "Generate" button on a form, the 10 latest port calls from the table, should be shown. I'm not sure what kind of control is the best to should the list on the form. Code is also needed.
2. I would also need to be able to print the list. It should be part of a report. Again which controls/which code to be used is needed.
I hope that someone are able to assist, as I have no clue what to do.
Thanks.
Is it possible to have a form designate which FIELDS to include in a selection query? I know that I can determine criteria and such, but i want the user to be able to generate a report based on the query select a, b, c from blah, or if they wish, just select a, b from blah...
View 5 Replies View Relatedhi.. i have attached a simple db.. 1 table.. 2 fields..
jobdate and jobday
open the form and double click on the jobdate.. it opens a calendar.. when you choose a date it puts it into the jobdate field..
i have created a simple drop down underneath the jobdate with the days of the week..
is there a way to tweak the calendar module so it also chooses the job day.. because the days are clearly displayed along with the number dates.. so it must be possible..
here is the db in 2000 and 97 format..
thanks in advance.. i think this will benefit many users using this calendar
I have a form that has a bunch of check boxes on it.
The user selects specific check boxes
My code then has a few If then statements to test which ones were selected.
With each one that is selected a query is run to select specific records in a table. (querying out the values from an email field)
The user then hits a button to send the email.
Microsoft Outlook opens and the emails list is added to the "To" in the email.
Everything works great...But I have a slight issue. If a user has permissions on more than one account when they go to send an email they have the ability to choose a "From" (thus specifying which account to send from)
The user can currently select which one they want but I want this to be more automatic.
CAN i specify which account to send from automatically when the email opens. BUT Just for this application...
Does that Make any sense?

PLEASE HELP ME. I'm strugling with this. Thanks
I've made it to set focus to subform, but if I will choose a subcontractor from the first listbox and dblclick on lstEmployee it is choose wrong record of the employee. Have somebody have an idea what I'm doing wrong
I don't know how to attach the file,can sombody tell me how.
Code of this listbox:

DoCmd.OpenForm "Subcontractors", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal

I think last line makes me those troubles but I don't have an idea what is wrong.
Any way to automatically choose next in sequence via form entry in Access 2007.We currently have an excel spreadsheet tracking who attends review meetings for new products. There are 12 people who are eligible to attend the meeting, and the next person in the sequence should be chosen when a new meeting is scheduled. I'll be adding this to an existing database with an "associate" table- where each associate name is assigned a numeric value, if this can even be done.
The problem is that the logical order may not always be followed. Associate 8 might be up next but be on vacation, so Associate 9 is sent in their place. We can't skip over Assoc. 8 completely so we'll go back to them once they're back in the office, but we don't want 9 being sent to the next one after that again. Or the manager might determine one associate has more knowledge in the area of the new product being presented and send them out of order. In Excel it's easy to see who is up or who has been skipped, but in single-form data entry in Access the pattern won't be visible.
I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
Names of the subforms are:-
qselDuplicateCustomersByHomePhoneNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersByMobileNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurname&Street
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&PartStreet
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&Street
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.
I am designing a data-entry system in Access 2003 for a clinical case-reading study. The questions that the case readers have to answer are divided into modules, and different batches of records use different modules, but all batches use a core module which includes identifying information and a set of questions that apply to all cases. The modules can include anywhere from about 15 to 60 questions. Some of the modules have been written, but the idea is to create new modules as the need arises. The data will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. There is no need to plan for reports and this isn't really a relational database.
The problem is to allow the reader to enter data for the relevant modules, sometimes one, sometimes four or five or more.
I have created a main table for the core module and a form to go with it. I’m assuming I need to create a separate table, related to the main table, for each module and an accompanying subform for each table.
How do I create a menu system that will allow the case reader to choose only the subforms needed for a particular record?
I want an example of choose function to write in expression builder in access 2007 ..
I have a size as 1/4,2/3,4/9 etc to be converted to ABC,DEF,GHI etc . i have nearly 40 entries so i think choose statement would do it .. moreover i cant find switch statement in expression builder .......
For example one could be to replace the text ..... or any other method to change the size to alphabetical grade.
