I have a form that allows the user to "Enter a Parameter Value" that determines the data that will show up
on that form. I'd be pleased to know:
1) How can I display the Parameter Value, choosen by the user, in the form.
2) Consider a form that will display all the students whose name is having Vincent.
If the user doesn't know the complete name, how can he define the parameter value. I mean in some
languages I can use Parameter Value = Vincent* and it will show me all the students whose name includes
Vincent. And in Access? How can I do that?
I have the below code behind a form so that a combo box will display a specific list of items based on the data in another combo box on my form.
I have two copies of this same form for two different departments. One of the forms works like a dream. However, when I copy that form, change the name, and update the code as pictured below, the form is asking for a parameter FROM MY ORIGINAL FORM and will not requery the combo box. I can't figure out why...there is no reference to the original form in my VBA as you can see below. I tried deleting the form and re-creating it, I tried deleting the code and re-typing it to no avail.
Private Sub cmboType_AfterUpdate() Me.cmboAction.RowSource = "SELECT tblStatusList.Status FROM tblStatusList WHERE (((tblStatusList.Department)=[forms]![frmInquiryFraud]![cmboType]));" End Sub
Right then.....i have a query which I use to search the database, users click a command button to open up the query and then are prompted to enter the parameter value. The results are then displayed in a form - what I want to do is to display the search term used at the top of the form.
I'm not sure that this is possible and if not, would my best bet be to use a text box on the form and refer to that in the search query?
I have a few update queries that will check X number of items, based on what the user inputs.
What I want to do (if possible), is return the number of items selected based on what they type in a message box.
I have set all warnings to false for update queries.
Example:
User runs the "Check Items By Location" query via the form, then receives a message stating "[Total Selected] Items Have Been Selected from [Location]."
I would like to display the value of my parameter query into the title of the report.How could I do this on Access 2007?So far I have made another field in the query and called it ParaDate: [JobDate]
I want to have a form that is based on a query. I want the first box to be a dropdown and fill in 6 textboxes after selectino (I have already made this) Then I want to select a start date and an end date for whomever was selected in the begining dropdown. I don't know how to get the query to do this. It is like a parameter but I don't want messages, I want txt boxes.
Does anybody know how to have a text box on a form "satisfy" a parameter in a query? I want to enter two dates and have a subreport show information from them? (The records shown will only be between those two dates) How do I do this? (I don't want the parameter to pop up on form open) Something like (Date1) = Parameter1 (Date2) = Parameter2
I've run into a strange problem. I'm trying to have an image box that you can double click and it will open a different form with a full sized image. When I open my form with the larger image, it asks me for a Parameter Value. Is there any way to stop it from asking me for that? Also, what is a parameter value and should I be typing something there?
Any ideas you may have would really help me out. Thanks a lot in advance!!
I have a simple parameter form where the users enter selectives for their queries. They usually want the top 100 records, but would like to select the number of records from that same form. I tried adding the forms' field name into the top records field in the query but it will take only a number. Any suggestions about setting it form the form or using VBA?

Hi, I have a combo box based on a parameter query, which is on a sub form. I want the query to use the existing value from a field on the main form as the parameter, without getting the "Enter parameter" box. please help.
I have searched the form and what I am trying my best to do right now is create a form with a textbox and a button. In the textbox I would just put in the parameter of a query and the query result or report would open up that is based on it. Can someone give me an example or point me in the right direction.
The reason im trying to do it this way is I would be able to customize the form to go with the rest of the database's layout....
I currently have a parameter form named "Fm_Commander_Parameter" and a report named "Rpt_Bldgs_by_Commander". On the parameter form I have a unbound drop down. On the After Update have I this code that opens the report.
Private Sub Cmb_Commander_AfterUpdate() DoCmd.OpenReport "Rpt_Bldgs_by_Commander", acViewPreview DoCmd.Close acForm, "Fm_Commander_Parameter" End Sub
In the Query for the report for the Commander field I have the parameter as [Forms]![Fm_Commander_Parameter]![Cmb_Commander]..how to write code very well and am unsure this can be done, but what I would like to do is remove the 'After Update' on the form and on 'Open' of the report I would like to write a code to go to the form, allow them to select the commander, then go back to the report query with the selection. This way I could use the Parameter Form with other reports. Below is the code I've come up with that will be place in 'Open' on the report.
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.OpenForm "Fm_Commander_Parameter", acNormal (I don't know what to enter to keep the form open to enter the data. Without the below command it will run the report but the parameter form stays open.) DoCmd.Close acForm, "Fm_Commander_Parameter" End Sub
how to get a Parameter from a form into a query.I have a form with a subform and a table. However I want to enter a number in the Form and then the subform shall display all entries from the table with that number as a specific field. So to speak i want to apply a filter. Can i do that somehow without using VBA ? And without entering the number in that tiny dialog window that pops up when i use "[ ... ]" brackets in my query ? This is may query so far .... and it is the datasrc for my subform ...
Code: SELECT tbl_autos.ID, tbl_autos.Typ, tbl_autos.Alter, tbl_autos.BesitzerID FROM tbl_autos WHERE tbl_autos.GaragenID = <Param>;
i want to replace <Param> with the content of my form.
I have Created This Macro (Photo1) to Display Clients Home Address on A Bing Map, however, When I run Code I get A "Enter Parameter Value" Pop-Up. (Photo2) When I actually enter ClientID number in this case 5 it Does what I want See (Photo3). How do I get it to open directly to form with out Enter Parameter Value popup?
I have a bound form which is from tblEmployee, I'd like to have a dataset below (like a splitform but not a split as they have limits) so when i search in the box it gives me say all the smiths - i select for example david smith and it displays his information in the form objects above so they can be edited?
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
I'm trying to use an Invoice number from an Invoice form to populate a table of Invoice Lines with relevant records (linking by Invoice number). I realise the following SQL code isn't an append query, but I've simplified it to make it easier to explain
SELECT [Forms]![fInvoices]![SPInvNumber] AS MTInvNumber, tInvoices.SPInvNumber FROM tInvoices WHERE (((tInvoices.SPInvNumber)=[Forms]![fInvoices]![SPInvNumber]));
The output I get for this query is something along the lines of:
MTINvNumber | SPInvNumber 쉠 | 49760
THe MTInvNumber should read the same as the SPInvNumber, but it doesn't. If you can't see the above, its some sort of weird chinese/japanese character I think!
I thought maybe it was a display error, but I tried using it in my append query, and it inserted it as garbage too. The weirdest bit is it actually regards the form information as equalling the SPINvNumber from the tInvoices table! :S
Any clues on how I get it to format correctly??? I'm very tired now so it's bound to be something simple!
I know this is probably a basic question- but Im not finding a clear answer here.
Basically- I have a value that I want to select from a drop down box on a form (not created yet). That value will get inserted into my query for a calculation I am doing. The form will pop up the results of the query in a table/dataset.
How do I designate the variable in the query that is being inserted from the form? I am using Access 2002- is there a way to visually perform this task (ie- drag/drop type thing)? Thanks guys!
I have a report query that uses a combo box on a form to collect the parameters. I would like to be able to include an option that would be like not having any criteria at all, to show all the records. I have tried several combinations in the criteria to get it to work and haven't found a way yet.
I have tried various different versions of what you see above and none have worked. The true part and the false part both work if separated and tested. Is it possible to make this work or is there better way to do this?
I am struggling with what seems like should be a straightforward task. Unexpectedly however it has become an infuriatingly difficult one (no doubt due to my complete novice status).
I have a very basic d/base (3 tables) that I have been searching using basic SQL queries. I want to create a simple 'search' form that produces the results of my various queries without the need to work in SQL. Enter one or more search criteria, hit ENTER, results presented in datasheet perhaps?
Thought this would have been easy but I've had no luck. Can you please explain how I can pass a parameter from a form to a query?
I am not a programmer and I don't know VBA/VB. I am using this as a workaround to avoid VBA functions (since I don't know them). I can't seem to find a simple? solution to this. I have a query that does a radial search in decimal degrees. I have created an unbound form as a dialogue box that converts degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees and displays the results in a calculated text box. What I want to do is have the query take the results in the calculated text box as its parameters (along with a third parameter- distance) without prompting the user. How do I get the query to take its results from the fields on the form? I have tried Like [Forms]![frmName]![SearchValue], but I can't seem to make it work.
In my criteria, I am passing a parameter from a form.
Currently, I am using: DateValue([forms]![myForm]![txtStartDate])
From myFORM, the value of the text box is 3/1/2013
When I run the query, it runs as expected and returns all records with the 3/1/2013 dates.
But now I want to make it where if the parameter is null.
How do I change that criteria if that parameter I am passing is null from my form's textbox? I want it to return all records that have a null entry in the [startDate].
