Is there a clean way to:
1)Take two user dates as input at run time, e.g by a calendar GUI selection, or even just a string
2) Then return all rows from a table where the value of the date column is between those two values?
Thanks,
Dave
I am needing a fairly simple query to show records from a table that occurred between a set of dates specified by the user; I have quickly built the query using the wizard, however the date is stored as DateTime;
In the criteria, I tried - Between [Enter Start Date:] And [Enter End Date:] which returns an empty result (presumably because there are no records that match exactly, as they all have the time included?)
Is there a way to have the query show all results between the dates specified by the user, regardless of the time?
I have created form and would like to display query results on form (in textbox), which is executed based on combobox change event on the same form.

An Access database table I'm looking at has a date column, where date is entered in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy). However, upon entering the database, the date is somehow converted into US format, despite me passing the date into the table as dd/mm/yyyy.
The trouble started when someone else worked on the database - leaving us now with all of the old records in UK format (correct) but all new entries to that column in US format.
Please note, when I open the Access table, all of the dates for the past 2 years or so are fine (dd/mm/yyyy) but recently, since someone else worked on the file, the new records are appearing as mm/dd/yyyy. Within the same table column we're getting apparently mixed formats.
I'm aware of using session.lcid=2057, but would prefer just to be able to have the dates appear in the right format in the database itself rather than having to use this (I'm concerned if I use lcid, it might balls up the older, correct records in the table).
How can this have suddenly changed, and more importantly, how can I get the records into the table in UK format?
Thanks very much for your help...
I have a subform which users log their daily working hours (Mon - Fri) for 2 weeks. The subform is limiting the number of records to 10 or less. I would like to begin including the weekend in the form but don't want to include them as part of the 10.
Here is my code which works fine if I am only looking at the recordcount values.
The date field is [Reporting Date]
Private Sub Form_Current()
If RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 10 Then
Me.AllowAdditions = False
Else
If RecordsetClone.RecordCount <= 10 Then
Me.AllowAdditions = True
End If
End If
End Sub
Hi,
I am new here and have been using the build features (and not the code as I do not understand this) to build my registration database.
I have several tables of imported data nicely displayed in one form with tabbed sections. When I tried adding new records by entereing them in the form, they are saved in the underlying tables but the new records are not displayed in the form when I go back into the form.
All the tables seem to be linked to the form when I go into the form selector and Edits are allowed in the property box.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

I have look around in the forums, but I haven't found what I was looking for. I just maybe didn't use the correct search criteria. But anyway this is what I am looking for.
When a certain user Logon into the database. I would like the have a message sent just to that one particular user. Bottom line is. When a report is due and that user is responsible for it, I would like a notification go to that user.
Can this be done and how would one go about this?
Again thanks
I am looking for a way to either display through a query with an expression or any other alternative that someone may have to display the last 100 records entered maybe based on date entered or something.
At the moment i have a query and report going form start date to end date but would also like a query/report that will just show me the last 100 records entered.
Hi,
I am currently building a stock control system in access. I have a form with which the user selects a stock item from 3 combo boxes (stock name, stock weight and stock grade). The combo box links to a table of stock items. A stock item is made up of a name, weight and grade (all separate fields in the stock items table).
I wish to setup the form so as the user selects the stock name from the first combo box. Based on the value selected by the user, the appropriate stock weight(s) assoicated with that stock name will be displayed in another combo box.
Basically, I wish to take the result from one field in a form and apply its result to a query(?) in another field so as to filter(?) my result accordingly.
Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions?
Cheers

I am creating a database to track a student's course load in a degree program.
When the student enteres their ID on the first form I want to retain that value so subsequent forms and views display their records, or allow new entries/updates to different tables without re-entering their ID. I'm having no luck passing the value entered into the first form's text box to other processes selected prior to closing out the database.
Thank you.
Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?
I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.
I want a default value to equal the first 2 characters of field [first name] and first 3 characters of field [last name] and the numeric datevalue of [DOB] 'date of birth'.
In excel its easy,

How do I get same result in Access?
tried
Field 'PRN', a text field set as default =""""& left([first name],2}+LEFT(Last name],3), date()&""""
Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.
I am making a simple database for the computer laboratory in school (my place of work). Actually it is a Automated Logbook System. Here's the Problem. I want to make a form that will prompt me whenever I enter the data(ID number) of the user(student) 3 times already for the current week.
The message box will more likely prompt.
The Data already entered 3 times this week!!!
How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.
My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)
The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))
I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.
I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.
hi.. i have one table with fields 1-8
2 forms are used to fill in the details for each record using the primary key on each form.
eg
FORM1
jobid
date
day
time
price
FORM2
jobid
pickup
dropoff
vehicle
is there a way that on FORM1, i can indicate to my user whether or not any details have been entered into FORM2
maybe a colour system.. eg
if table.pickup and table.dropoff and table.vehicle are empty
form indicator on FORM1 is red (to show that none of the details on FORM2 have been entered)
else if table.pickup or table.dropoff or table.vehicle are not empty
form indicator on FORM1 is green (to show that atleast one of the fields on FORM2 has been entered)
it doesnt have to be a colour scheme, it can be wording.. eg
Form2 Empty, or Form2 Completed...
just some kind of sign to my user..
anyone ever tried or used something like this before?
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is fed by a parameter query. When a command button (Command23) is clicked a parameter box opens and the user enters a subsystem number. A report for that subsystem then opens.
I want to open the report with VBA and show a message if the user has failed to enter a subsystem number in the parameter box and just clicked OK.
The problem is I don't know how to refer to the parameter box and detect if it has been left empty before clicking OK. I first tried to use IsNull in an If statement with Command23.Value, but now realize it is the value in the parameter box I am after, not the "value" of Command23.
How can I change my code to detect if the parameter box has not been filled out?
Private Sub Command23_Click()
If IsNull(Command23.Value) Then
MsgBox "You did not enter a Subsystem", vbOKOnly, "No Criteria Entered"
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTESTInfoBySubsystem", acViewReport
End If
End Sub
I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.
Hi all, i have a 2 fields in a subform named "HRS_ABSENT" & "ABSENCE_REASON" i'm trying to create some code that will display a message if the user inputs any number into the "HRS_ABSENT" field & leaves the "ABSENCE_REASON" field empty. I want to force the user to select a ABSENCE RESON (these are 3 letter codes) from the drop down list, if they enter a number in the HRS ABSENT field. Ive tried the below code but it doesnt do anything :-(
Anybody please help me out?

Cancel = True

Is it possible to run a basic select query to pull records based on multiple strings entered by a user?
I have a query with field criteria - Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*'
This allows the user to input one MMDBID and the records are retrieved from the db.
I can also use the OR statement in the same field criteria "AB123" OR "BC123", and all records based on those values are pulled back.
But I cannot get the user to input multiple values and I tried amending the SQL string based on the OR criteria above
SQL statement (Like) is below :
SELECT tblFund.MMDBID, tblFund.[Investment Name], tblCodesLive.[IOE Code], tblCodesLive.[Uptix Code], tblFund.[Red Payment Deadline]
FROM (tblFund INNER JOIN tblCodesLive ON tblFund.MMDBID = tblCodesLive.MMDBID) INNER JOIN tblContact ON (tblFund.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID) AND (tblCodesLive.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID)
WHERE (((tblFund.MMDBID) Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*') AND ((tblFund.Editing)=False) AND ((tblFund.Closed_Fund)=False));
I've linked access to an external database and created a query to pull results from the linked access table that was between certain times on certain dates (i.e. between 11/12/2007 11:01 AM to 12/13/2007 12:01 PM). The query I have thus far is "SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE DATETIME >= #11/12/2007 11:01 AM# AND DATETIME <=#12/13/2007 12:01 PM#". That works, but I want the date and time to be changeable through text fields on a form. Something like "SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE DATETIME >= #forms.form1.startdate forms.form1.starttime# AND DATETIME <= #forms.form1.stopdate forms.form1.stoptime#". The dates are going to be automatically generated according to other parameters but the times are going to be entered manually. How can I accomplish this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an unmatched query set up that works pretty well using a linked Excel file, and an Access Table. It compares a Name, Day of the Week, Start Time and End Time.
The problem is that some that I KNOW are matching are turning up as unmatched. It typically seems to happen when it's an "odd" time, with and End Time like 10:20 PM or 9:40 AM.
I suspect this may be because Excel actually sees dates as decimals and the way Access is interpreting that time is different and it sees it as not matching.
I need these "stored" as times, so I can't change the values to text, where I think they would match.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello everyone,
Using Acess 2007
This is what I have:
I have one Query with the following:
Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main.Last Name, Main.Assigned Date
I created a Daily Report using this Query to tell me when I need to meet again with these people.
I have a Report that has the following:
Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main. Last Name, Main.Assigned Date, [Assigned Date]+30,[Assigned Date]+60,[Assigned Date]+90,[Assigned Date]+120,[Assigned Date]+150,[Assigned Date]+180
What I would like to do:
The current report shows ALL records with the requested information. How can I have the Query or Report filter out the records that do not have any of the review dates falling on today's date?
I hope I explained myself. If further explanation is necessary let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I query my database I want to return groups of records. The groups differ from one another based on one field (Employee ID) -- So one group with Employee ID# 1 may have 2 records and another group with Employee ID# 2 may have 5 records, etc. My question is: What is the best way to display these groupings and allow the user to scroll or navigate thru the different groups easily?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
