Display All Records If No Filtering Criteria Is Provided...
Oct 24, 2007
Hello all,
I've run into a little snag and I'm hoping to reach out for some assistance.
I've created a form that has a drop down box. This dropdown box is populated with a list of values taken from a database.
I've created a query and built an expression that filters the query records by the value of said drop down box.
My issue here is if no value is selected in the drop down box, the query produces no records. I would like the query to display all records if the user did not select a value from the drop down.
Although I'm a beginner by any stretch of the imagination, I did manage to make a conditional in VBA to apply a wildcard (*) if nothing was chosen in the drop down, but that didnt work.
I have a header/detail form working well. I use a Dsum to update a TOTAL field in the header - based on all the detail records for that Header.
However, I want to 'filter' or condition the records which the form will initially display from the Header file. I have a conditioning field (Invoice date) in the header which should 'block' it from display on the form. I may also desire to SORT the selected Headers record into a different sequence before display...
Looks like any "filtering" I try on the header table makes it difficult to go back and update the TOTAL in the Header?
i made a query to display students results after an exam. there are 12 subjects but a student chooses 8 from that. After an exam, the results are keyed in and a result slip is printed later. The problem is that the result slip displays all subjects including those not done by the student. I typed a criteria >0 in one of the fields and no records appeared. Is there a way that i can use to display only the subjects chosen and marks attained by a student and leave out the rest?
I am using Access 2010. I have a subform(continuous form) that I display as a datasheet and allow filtering. I display the record count by using Me.Recordset.RecordCount in the subform's form_current event. This value updates properly based on the column filtering except when the filtering displays 0 records.
When there are 0 records, the form_current event does not fire and I cannot figure out how to trap when this occurs so that I can display '0 records found'. How I can tell when the column filtering causes 0 records to display in the datasheet? Is there an event that fires when the user filters using the column headings arrow?
I have a crosstab query. There is a field for row headings that specifies QUARTER (Q1,Q2, Q3,Q4) and another field for row headings that specifies YEAR(2015,2016,...etc)
I want to be able to have the user input the criteria in to a box and filter the crosstab query to then display the filtered results.
Right now on my column headings I have MONTH.
When I try to reference the form in the criteria, I always get the error
"The Microsoft Database Engine does not recognize ..... as a valid field name or expression"
Does this mean that you can not filter crosstab queries?
I am having a frustrating problem with a report filter I have been using for years. The filter works fine if the data is a number, but I am using it for text this time and it simply will not filter the report because I am unable to have the text display as per below. I need to be able to put a qutotation mark before and after the text so that the report filter will recognise and apply the filter appropriately.
Hello, i have a form with combo boxes from 3 different tables. Is there a way to generate a report from the data which is selected in each of the combo boxes? Also is there a way to have a button when clicked - takes the data selected in the combo boxes and places it in a new table altogether.
This is pretty urgent since i need to figure this out today. Any help greatly apreciated. Thanks.
I am having trouble filtering my report. My goal is to filter the report by:
1) [DateChanged] by user entry on a form (txtFrom and txtTo) 2)[Deliverable] by selection of a list box on form
My error is in the last line when i open the report. It only lets me filter using either option 1 or 2. When I include the "And", it gives me the error "Type Mismatch". I know its a syntax error.
My code is below
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''' Dim Deliverable As String Dim DateChanged As String Dim VarItm As Variant For Each VarItm In List2.ItemsSelected Deliverable = Deliverable & "[ID] = " & List2.Column(0, VarItm) & " OR "
I have some filtering criteria in a query that is based on some unbound text boxes in a form. These text boxes contain start and end dates. This form is not based on any table or query. All controls are unbound.
The query functions properly initially, however, I am programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes in the form that are used by the query. After their values have changed, the query doesn't seem to recognize the change and therefore returns no values.If I manually change the the values in the text boxes and run the query it works fine. However, I would like to avoid doing it this way, if at all possible.
After programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes, I tried setting the focus to the text boxes, setting the focus to other controls, refreshing the form, requering the form, requerying the text box, so forth and so on.
An ancient application I'm working with came with .ini file which looks like an instruction set to create an access database. A sample few lines look like:
TABLE, USER, 13 FIELD,USRID,LONG,2,NODUP,ID,False,0,AUTO FIELD,USRFNAME,TEXT, 50, NO, , True, 1
I have a form with 3 combo boxes that filter another form/report. The first combo (cboByCategory) contains options from 2 different fields within the same table. Before I added this add'l piece of code, all 3 combos worked fine. I am not getting error messages, it just does not filter on the other 2 combo boxes - cboDiv and cboGender.
Code: Private Sub cmdModifyRecords_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdModifyRecords_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim strFilter As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "Modify_OpenItems"
I have a report with a table as the row source. I have command buttons that opens different forms and allows the user to choose criteria, the form then filters the report based on the chosen criteria in the form, but if I use the destination city form to filter the report by destination city, then filter the report using a different form, the destination city filter is lost, is there a way to filter the report with a form by say destination city, then further filter that dataset with another form for say location city.
I am a naive in access and really looking for some mentor to help me learn quickly
I am presently going through a book Call "Microsoft Access 2003 InsideOut" I dont have the cd so thus missing the sample databses discussedin the book.
If anyone can provide me with this data base then it would be a great help
im having difficulty adding data into a table which i created, i want to use two or more of the same Student_ID's into one field, while adding different data into another field Subject.
I wonder if anyone can help. I attach a table that is a material list (27000 records). When I add a new material I want to be able to see the last part code I created for a particular supplier.
For example C001, C002 and C003 are for a supplier company called Chapters so I would scroll through the combo box search list in the form for the last one and create a new record called C004. The problem is that E00001, E00002 for a company called Edwards supplies 20,000 items so it's a long way to scroll through to create a new part code called E20001. How can I show in the form what the last part code is for each Supplier?
I attach the form and table as I'm not very good at explaining this, although I have had to delete approx 20000 records as the database was too big to be posted. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks
I have a database to record drawings received. On the form there is a combo box to select discipline (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical) and a combol box to select the volume the drawings are in (Volume 1 - foundations, Volume 2 etc). The disciplines are stored in tblDisciplines with a relationship between this and the main tbldocument. I also have a table , tblLocation which has the volume ref and description. However when I click on the location field it shows me all volumes for all disciplines. What I want is if the first field selected is Civil only the civil volumes are displayed. Can any one point me in the reight direction
I have a rather simple problem that I do not have the time to solve. I have a time series taken at 30 second intervals over 5 months and the records total over 250,000. I only want data from every 15 minutes, so only one out of 30 records. How do I filter the table to extract only the records I need?
how I can modify this code to make it filter results in a combo box by what the user types in to search for.
Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate() With Me.RecordsetClone .FindFirst "[FirstName]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """ OR [Lastname]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """" If .NoMatch Then Beep
I have a database that I have secured by using Access 2003 user security. I need for the database to allow the user to login and once they have logged, to open a form and filter out only their open "tickets" - records.
Dear Experts, I have created a database with queries that is working fine, however there are many records that have the same information that can not be removed easily, is there a method anyone knows of that can filter the records produced from a query to remove duplicates? i.e. 'select distinct' but for the whole query after the search parameters have been entered.
e.g. the search query is producing, after the refined search values are entered: 414353p - Fiat - 1.6 - MLS 414353p - Fiat - 1.6 - MLS How can i then apply a filter to automatically reduce these duplicates to just one entry for the whole form?
I have a database with 2 tables. Table1:drawing number and drawing title and Table2: date, action, status. Table2 gives the complete history of our internal review process.
I need a report which lists just the 'not approved' drawings. I've been able to add a query which lists the drawings but I loose the complete history, i.e. drawing recieved date.
Is there anyway I can display all the fields but only for those drawings which are 'not approved'
Hi, I need help on my search command. I am hoping to be able to use a combo box or a list box coming from a table as my criteria to use to filter records from a form and present it a subform/subreport upon clicking the command button. Ideally I should have a form wherein I will have a either a combo box or list box for my criteria, a subform/subreport, and a command button. When I select a particular item on the combo box or list box and I click the command button, the subform/subreport would show me records matching only the particular criteria I selected.
I tried using several approach but it's not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me, I am just learning how to do this all by myself.
First Approach: I tried using a list box to list all the countries I have available from the country table and a command button so when I select a country from the list box and click on the command button I will be able to show on a datasheet view only records matching the country criteria. This is the code I used: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub Preview_Click()
End Sub __________________________________________________ _______________ But everytime I click on the command button Preview, I am always asked to enter parmeter value then when I type the country that's when it shows the record in forms format matching the criteria country but when I dont type anything and click ok, it just shows a blank form and indicates it's filtered but no record is showing. But I click cancel, it shows a Run-time error '2501'. why does it still have to make me type the parameter if I have selected it on the list box already?
Second Approach: On the form: I used a combo box, a subform/subreport and a command button. On the combo box I have to show different countries available on my country table. on the subform/subreport I have used my a form created from a query. I want to select from the combo box a particular country and used it as my criteria to filter the records I have on my subform when I click on the search command button. I tried following the sample given by gromit but it doesn't want to work on my database.
This is the code I followed: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub btnClear_Click() Dim intIndex As Integer Me.cmbCountry = 0
End Sub
Private Sub btnsearch_Click() Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM qrybycountry" & BuildFilter
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Requery
End Sub
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null ' Main filter
'Check if there is a filter to return... If IsNull(varWhere) Then varWhere = "" Else varWhere = "WHERE " & varWhere
' strip off last "AND" in the filter If Right(varWhere, 5) = " AND " Then varWhere = Left(varWhere, Len(varWhere) - 5) End If End If
BuildFilter = varWhere
End Function __________________________________________________ _______________ After selecting on the combo box and click on the command button it just shows all record. It doesn't seem like it is reading what I selected from the combo box as my criteria to filter the records. What could be I be doing wrong? Honestly, I dont understand what is happening to the code here especially the BuildFilter function.
Please help me, I would really want to figure this problem out. Thank you so much.
I have a query that shows member check-ins to a fitness facility. Customer scans their membership card and it logs their customer id, scan date/time (date and time are one field), name, etc. Sometimes the customer will scan their card multiple times if they've left and come back, but I only want to count their first scan. I have a second query that runs off of this one and counts visits by hour for a date range.
So my question is, how do I filter out subsequent scans on each day in a query and how do a I do that when running the query for multiple days? So in the multi-day query I want to count each day they came, but only the first scan of each day? How to do this in the query design grid...

I have a table that has a list of order information, there are multipule records per order that have information about when the order was processed. There is a day tied to the process time of each record, I need to filter out the duplicate records and get one record for an order, but that one record must be the first process time entry for that order. Anyone know how to make this query? Let me know if this doesnt make sense.
