Now here's the odd part. When I initially put this filter in, it works at first. However, once I save the datasheet form and reopen it, the filter no long works, even though the filter property still remains.
I want to add a button (FindNew) to my form (frmDenial) that, when clicked, will filter for records where the field (MBRLast) has "xx" in it, or is Null. I have spent the last 5.5 hours searching through the forums and playing around with sample codes and still cannot make it work. Please help me with this, I'm sure it's very simple. Thank you so much, everyone in the forum is so helpful!
Hi, I have a form which I can't seem to filter by form. When I click on "Filter by Form", the only combo option I get is "Is Null" or "Is Not Null", it does not give the full list in the table to choose. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my form? The form also has a sub-form....does it matter?
I also tried tesing filtering the table with query but it also doesn't work. My query, SELECT DOCUMENT.TITLE FROM DOCUMENT WHERE (((DOCUMENT.TITLE) ALike "*work order*"));
Also, with Filter by form can I use wildcards such as entering in the search field of the form as "= "*work order*"
I'd be grateful if someone could offer some help with this to a frustrated Access novice : )
I have a query that filters records according to the value of an unbound text box in my form (basically search on last name)
I want to introduce wildcards into the filtering process but cannot get it to work.
Here's what I've done:
In the criteria field I had [Forms]![MAIN]![Text440] refering to the unbound text box on the form already mentioned.
This worked fine, but the following: Like "*[Forms]![MAIN]![Text440]*" does not.
Nor does various combinations of brackets such as: Like "*([Forms]![MAIN]![Text440])*"
In fact it now doesn't return anything, even if given a positive match. I have trawled help and the forums but to no avail. I have also tried the % character instead of *
I am attempting to use a form field as the source for a query filter criteria. Everything works fine if I simply use an "if equal" filter condition. As soon as I try a "like" condition, nothing works.
I created a test table with just one column (fld1). The table contains three records with the following values: BRDODS, BRD, TLAODS.
The following hard coded query returns two records, as it should.
SELECT Table1.fld1 FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.fld1) Like 'BRD*'));
I also created a test form (Form1) with just one text field (Text0). My intent is to soft code a criteria value via the form field instead of hard coding the query, as above. When I populate the form field with BRDODS, the following soft coded query returns one record, as it should.
SELECT Table1.fld1 FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.fld1)=[Forms]![Form1]![Text0]));
When I enter LIKE "BRD*" in the form field, no records are returned. I should get two records, just like the hard coded query above.
I've tried all variations of the LIKE statement in the form field, but nothing works.
The thing I've been trying to do is make it so that my form filters my records, and I'm trying to make a between function for it. My form is shown below in the attachment.
What I need to do is make it so that my form filters my records Between the two year boxes AND between the two Length boxes. But I need it so that if nothing is in the boxes, it shows all records, and if something is in only the Year boxes, it only filters the years and not the lengths.
Code: Field: Length Criteria: Between [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1] And [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length2]
Then in a separate column I had
Code: Field: [Forms]![SearchForm]![Length1] Or: Is Null
This works fine if it's only for Length, but if I try to do the same for the MovieYear boxes, it screws up and just shows me no records...?
I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter; On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty Enter Parameter Value: Plgl Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
I have a database and a form that is based off of a simple table. The table has NO look ups and all of the formatting is text. The form is continuous and simply displays these fields. (Kind of like a company roster with name and department). I have two combo boxes at the top of this form in the header with the intent of filtering the form records by department and employee type (lets say A or B).
I have tried every way I know how to get these records to filter and they will not filter correctly. Utilizing methods I have used in multiple other databases, I set the two comboboxes to cascade based on a query in the recordsource. The vba I'm using in the after event of each combo is ....
Me.Filter = "[Brand] = '" & Me.cbobrand & "'" Me.FilterOn - True 'Brand is the "department" and the other identical code is for Personel_Type
This filters the records but independently. So, cbobox1 filters the records to show all Brand 1. When cbobox2 selection is made it shows all the Personel_Type of the selection however the first filter is already disregarded. (i.e. When cbobox2 selection is made, it contains both brands instead of the one I've just selected and filtered in cbobox1. )
Outside of making two queries to account for each possible filter, I have tried setting a filter on the filterON, I have tried a SQL based VBA code, I have tried making two forms and attempting to set the filter on open but either way, nothing keeps the first filter selected (or the FilterON, or both SQL filters, etc). The ONLY way I have found to get it to filter both is with the filter function in Access, which is not useful as my users will not have access to the menu bars.
I have this EXACT same setup in another database and it works fine with 3 cbo boxes with an after even to set a filter for the recordsource for all three.
Is it possible to do a criteria like the "Between" to pull data like a work order number?
Ex WO#: WO5551212
I would like to be prompted to enter a Work Order Number when I run a query, then have the query display all of the data for that particular work order number.
We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are: pkfDriverIndex strLastName strFirstName strInitial strAddress1 strAddress2 strCity strState strZIP datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are: pkfUpdateIndex fkfDriverIndex datDateUpdated strState strLicNumber datExpirationDate ynViolations ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
I have an expression in one column of my query and It keeps returning a negative result and there are no negative numbers in the source data. Can anyone help. I just want to sum the sums the two IIf expressions, but its not working. Thanks
Other Qty: Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=95 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null)) Or Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=100 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null))
I'm trying to hash two scripts I've found into 1 functioning filter, however I'm still relatively new to vba and can't figure out how to get this working.
I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code: 'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _ where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _ and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.
I have a continuous form based on table "INCOMES" that shows all the payments received, which mediums can be (field "PMNT_MEDIUM"):
- check - transfer - taxes - cash
Table "INCOMES" is filled using another form, but in this particular form I just want to show "check", "transfer" and "cash" (not "taxes") so that I can track all the cash incomes.
Note: taxes are loaded because they appear in my invoices and I need them there to reach the invoice total amount.So my form has a search bar which allows me to search by PMNT_MEDIUM listing all "checks", all "cash" or all "transfer". I can also search by payment number (meaning: check number). To that end I have a "search" button that applies the filter. And I have another button that "cleans" the filtering by "putting a "" in the search-bar and then calling the "on click" of the search button".
What I need is, no matter if I click over the "search" or "clean" button, it NEVER shows me the "taxes".Search button, on click code:
If IsNumeric(Me.busq_chq_med) Then Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM_NUMB] =" & Me.SEARCH_BAR Else Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'" Me.Filter = "[PMNT_MEDIUM] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*' or [INVOICE] like'" & Me.SEARCH_BAR & "*'" End If Me.FilterOn = True
I have a form that is showing data from 1 table. That table has 12 different fields on it and I want to be able to filter based on selections I make in a combo box in the header of the form. The filter string must be dynamic enough to allow filtering based on 1 criteria selected, or multiple criteria selected. For example:
If I have values in filter fields 3, 5, and 9 I'd want the filter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field3 = field3filter.value AND field5 = field5filter.value AND field9 = field9filter.value"
If I have values in only field 7, I'd want th efilter string to be created as follows:
"...WHERE field7 = field7filter.value"
And so on and so on.
I have created some filters before but all of the different VBA syntaxes I'm using seem to come up short.
How can I create a "Filter Button" on a form and filter my records? I create a textbox on a form and a filter button on the right. Then I click the filter futton, the filter function will search/match the content in the box through the datasheet. And then the results of the filtering will be pop up on the split form datasheet.
I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine. for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))
PART 2
Now I am trying to use microsofts how to filter a report using a forms filter... This picks up on the Invoice query as shown above but does not just insert the query results...
Is there better code or another way to approach this... Currently i am using:
Name:cmdOpenReport Caption: Open Report OnClick: [Event Procedure]
Private Sub CmdOpenReport_Click() If Me.Filter = "" Then MsgBox "Open an Invoice First" Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter End If End Sub
Using this code not only does my report not detect the correct fields to import data (no data is filled in) but it requerys the invoice or atleast should, which I could do with out all of that code...
When I click the filter button I get a blank message box titled 'Microsoft Access" and an OK button, when closed the filter works perfectly.I have checked this procedure in other forms and it works without showing the blank message box.The only difference with this form is that its control source is a union query.
Hello Everyone,Been a while since I needed to post on this forum, but I found something rather disturbing today; either that or I have missed something obvious. I have a large query of financial data, and I filter out certain codes which I don't want to include. The filter is;<>"BL01" And <>"SS01"Which works as it should, filtering out all BL01 and SS01. However, it also filters out any NULL values, which is something I would not expect it to do. When I enter NULL as a filter, I get the records I expect. What am I doing wrong here? I am using Access 2003 SP3 on Windows XP Service Pack 2
I’m a newbie to Access, I have done some simple things but I now have to do something that is out of my league.
I work in an engineering company and I'm trying to make a database that the engineers can select a specification quickly, a specification or spec is like a table. Things like materials, ratings, pipe Schedule, etc are stored in it. The spec says how strong a pipe will be.
When selecting a spec you have to look at the service (what the pipe is caring, eg high pressure steam, or low pressure water). Services also store things like Design Temperature and Design Pressure.
You are giving the Service, and you have to select a spec that will be able to handle the Design pressures. To do this you compare the Design pressure to the Maximum allowable Pipe pressure (it is calculated at the join (flange) as this is the weakest point).
One other pike of information is the Tables that have the Maximum allowable Pressure. To find the Maximum allowable Pressure, you need to know the Material, Rating and the Design Temperature. Each material has its own table.
If you have a look at the attached file then in tables, SPec has Spec ID (Spec) which is Primary Key. Flange Material (FlangeMat) and Flange Rating (FlangeRating).
The Flange Material should take you to another table, FlangeMat. This table is used to get you to the correct Maximum allowable Pressure table.
There are 2 Maximum allowable Pressure Tables, TABLE_211 and TABLE 212. Here the rest of the information from the Spec is needed (Flange Rating (these are the field names with 150, 300, 1500, etc numbers)). And also the Design Temperature is needed of the service.
Then it looks up the Maximum allowable Pressure from the Table and displays it. I was thinking a form.
Also the design Pressure needs to be displayed so the engineer can compare the two.
So for the form, there will need to be a drop down that has the Service, A drop down that has the Spec, and the two values, the Design Pressure and the Maximum allowable pressure.
All I have done is shown on the file, I started to play around with the Relationships and tried to create a Form but I could not get it to work so. I deleted it and left it with just the tables. If possible can someone please help me, maybe even get my file to work and the post the working one, I will then be able to understand it.
The company I work for uses A97 throughout. Although on my laptop I have Access 2003. I want to design my inventory control database using A2003 not 97 for obvious reasons. I know A97 users cannot open a Acess 2003 db.My Q is: If I created a A2003 db and also built some data access pages within the database and placed it on my server, could users view/add/edit records in the db via these pages using their web browsers? This would only be required across our small network of less than 10 users.Any advise welcome. Even just a YES or NO would help Many thanks.
I need to create some conditional formatting on a field that will change the colour depending on how much money has been spent
I have MaxBilling As the Field I want to attach the condition formatting too which can be a user entered value or system updated depending on other things.
The Current worked costs total field Is Called Text119.
when a project starts The Cost will be 0 so I don't intend to assign a colour there.
when the Costs get to 50% of MaxBilling I would like to change the colour to Green
70% Chances to yellow 90% Would change to Dark Red
I can do most things but %'s and me don't mix well LOL
I have two database which are very similar. They both use the same back end table. I have a query that I developed in one db and it works correctly there. However, when I import it into the other db, I get the Ambiguous Outer Joins message. I've tried copying the SQL from one and pasting it into the other and that didn't help. I've checked the table used and they are all properly linked in the second db. Any ideas about what could be going on?
I have created a query thats initiated by a command button from a form and one of the criteria for the query is a 'Like' command.
On the form, various option buttons and combi-boxes determine the search criteria and put it into a hidden textbox. Then, the query is run based on the contents of that hidden textbox using 'Like'.
However, I cant seem to get the 'Like' command to work with the contents of the hidden [forms]![frmSearch].[txtSearchcriteria] field.
Do I need to edit the VB code on the form to format the text to include the Like '* prefix and *' suffix, or should my search box remain basic text and have the Like command in the query ??
I seem to have tried loads of variations incorporating the various components of the Like command (the asterisks, single quote marks and even the Like command itself) on either the Form field or query but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas ??
