Filtering/Sorting A Table
Apr 19, 2006
Hello,
I have a project table that I track the progress of each job in by entering dates when certain portions are done. What I would like to do is when I fill in the "Project Completed" or "Cancelled" columns, to have that record automatically filtered out of the table. I still want to be able to turn off the filter at the end of the year to see all the projects we did, but I don't want this project cluttering up my table once it is finished or cancelled. Right now, I copy and move these completed projects to a separate table, but others say this is confusing and they can't figure out which table to use.
I input everything in the table format and don't have any forms that I use.
Thanks for any help.
Matt

Hi everyone,
I am having a little trouble using a 'canned' Access database. Using the built in Asset Tracking database, I am trying to get specific information on the Assets report. The Assets report generally shows all assets, I've made a new report to show the data sorted by the phone extension number, also the room number (which is how our inventory is tracked).
This works well, except, I want to be able to view one extension/room at a time. To do this, I added a button on the 'Enter/View Emplyees' form to preview the report, and created a macro to get this info. However, it only shows whatever data is highlighted in the emplyees sub-form. How can I get all of the data assigned to each extension to appear on the report?
Tried to upload the file, but it's too large. Can email if requested.
Thanks,
Brian

I'm having a bit of trouble with a piece of VBA code I have. What it's supposed to do is filter and sort a report using a form. But there are two lines, which both I need, in it that are not compatible with each other. When both are in and I apply the filter with only a sort, it gives me a "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument."
But the code runs beautifully when only one of the pieces, which I've highlighted in red below, is in it. The debugger highlights strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen) after I have received the error.
Code:
lngLen = Len(strFilter) - 5
If (lngLen <= 0) And ([cboSort1] = "Not Sorted") Then
MsgBox "Insert criteria before filtering.", vbInformation, "No Criteria"
Else
strFilter = Left$(strFilter, lngLen)
[Code] ....

Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)

Hi,
I'm using DAO in C++ to write data in MS Access table. I found that MS Access will automatically sort those records in ascending order based on the primary key. I need to leave those records based on the write sequence, can I do that?
Thank you in advance:)

I have a table that i would like to sort the records in one field Ascending.
I would like for the field to be updated after the record is entered so that the records in the field are all ways in a alphanumerical order.
I have put [SSB-CW].Square in the Order BY properties of the table. The Table is called SSB-CW and the field to sort is called Square. As i enter the records they stay in the order entered. When the table has been closed and then re-opened the records are sorted.
Do i need to design a form and set the lost focus property with the SQL [SSB-CW].Square.

hello,
I have a combo box that looks at a table with an SQL statement. In the form, the combo box shows the headers of the resulting table. Is there any way that the user can click on any header (let's say 'LastName' or 'Date' ) so the drop down list would be sorted by that header that the user clicks on??
Thank you very much

Below is an example of my table "Pricedata" include 03 fields:
Stock Name ___Price________Status Date
A________________10________ __1/6/2008_
A________________11___________1/7/2008_
A________________12___________1/8/2008__
B________________22___________1/6/2008_
B________________25___________1/7/2008_
B________________29___________1/8/2008__
C________________2____________1/6/2008_
C________________2____________1/7/2008__
C________________3____________1/8/2008_
D________________56___________1/6/2008_
D________________45___________1/7/2008_
D________________27___________1/8/2008__
I want to create a query like this: can calcualte the price change and % price change in certain period, and then sort in % change.
This result should be like the table below:
StockName Change in three days % Change in 03 days
C 1 50%
B 7 31.8%
A 2 20%
D -29 -51.78%
Thanks all,

I do not want the look up table for my combo box to sort the data so that the drop down will show the data the the order I enter it. The table automatically sorts the data even with the Remove Sort feature. I added another column with numbers and sorted it to put my data in order which works in the table but the drop down still sorts it alphabetically which I assume is because my number column is not the bound column.

Hello All,
I am new here and was wondering if anyone has ever had the following happen:
When you 'Filter by Selection' in a table for NULL values the number of records shown are less than the actual number of records with NULL values.
For example, I tried this with a particular tables looking for NULLL records in a particular field and while I could clearly see that the number of NULL values was x, the number returned upon filtering on NULL in that field was less than x.
Any idea? Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?

I have a table that lists all of my available seating for different events.
My table columns look like this:
EventID - Section - Row - Seat - Available
Sample data in columns:
1 - A - A - 1 - Y
1 - A - A - 2 - Y
1 - B - A - 1 - N
1 - B - A - 2 - Y
2 - A - A - 1 - Y
2 - A - A - 2 - Y
2 - B - A - 1 - Y
2 - B - A - 2 - Y
EventID actually goes from 1-6
Section actually goes from A-F
Row actually goes from A-J
Seat actually goes from 1-36
When the user selects an event (or events) in the first box - I would like the query to eliminate the available seating, from the other events, in the results.
When the user selects a section (or sections) - I would like the query to further eliminate the available seating, from sections not chosen, in the results.
When the user selects a row (or rows) - I would like the query to further eliminate the available seating, from rows not chosen, in the results. And finally display whatever available seating is available - based on all three of the above criteria.
I purchased every access book I could find.. and I am slowly learning this. I'm a complete novice..
I'm not looking for any of you to do the work for me.. I'm more looking for guidence. I'm still getting to know all of the controls and their limitations. I have not yet written any VBA code. (It's still very confusing) I'm trying to get by on using the toolbox controls, using queries, macros and form controls.

Hi, based on previous advice I had merged my customers and owners into one table and selected whether a client was a customer, owner or both via a lookup table.
This is working fine, however I must assign a rep to each owner, I'm not quite sure how to do this, I need to be able to assign a rep to an owner in the clients table, I must also make sure than a rep can not be assigned to someone who is just a customer obviously.
I have attached the database (http://jonroberts.redirectme.net/database.zip), hopefully that will make things more clear.
Thanks in advance.

I've been generating a report using two forms for data, and everything has worked well until recently.
My report contains a field which tracks Therapist visits by date. Since the subform now contains multiple dates for each patient, the report prints a line for each date, resulting in two or three lines for each patient.
I would like the report to print a single line for each paient with the most recent date only. I've tried a fix suggested by another user in the Forum...(Top Value) in the query, but this resulted in only a single record being printed for the entire database. I then tried to add MAX(date) to the CRITERIA line for the DATE field, but now I get the message
"Cannot have aggregate function in WHERE clause". I'm stumped at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

How best to go about designing a new table that shows any records matching a specific user name field from a parent table (without changing any records in the parent table).
For example: Any record in the column "user name" matching "Craig" in the parent table should be displayed in the new table.
I also would like for the new table to update automatically anytime a new record meeting the user name criteria ("Craig" for example) is added to the parent table.

I am a student and I've just started to work with the MS Access and databases.
I am wondering if it is possible to filter the fields of table and display only specific information from that specific field. For example: The database (*.mdb file) is created automatically by the software (EPLAN Electric).
There are columns with fields like "de_DE@Verbindungsleitung;pl_PL@Kabel laczacy;en_EN@Connecting cable;en_US@Connecting cable;" But I would like to display in query/table filed only text starting from "en_EN@*" or "??_??@*" or display nothing...
I know that it is possible to display only rows which contain this text, but how can I get rid of fields from unwanted words...?
I cannot change original table of database because the parent-program (EPLAN Electric) will not recognize this database... And additionally data base is updated via EPLAN so every new field should be filtered in this way...

I have managed to sort out the data to be used in the final table. However, I am having trouble transferring the data from each of their own tables into the final table.
Each time I run my code I receive "run-time error 3021: No current record."
It seems that only my timestamp is being added properly, but the error pops up and highlights the first "rstInsert.Edit" of my code. I'm suspecting that my function is running too fast, such that it did not have time to read that the table has already been populated by the timestamp in the AddNew code
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstTimestamp As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAcknowledgement As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAgent As DAO.Recordset
[Code] ....

I'm trying to group data in a report from single table using grouping and sorting and I want the percentile of every record over group total. I'm using a query to fetch data from table, however I'm unable to get percentage of every single record over group total.
I want to display the report as attached image in single report. I'm unable to get data in "Perc" field. It's populating wrong values.

My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.
The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.
Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.
How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above?
As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.

I've created a report which has 4 subreports linked to it via a ClientID. The problem is it prints 2000 reports for the 2000 different ClientIDs. I want, went the button is pressed, for it to ask what ClientID the users wants to print the report for.
I know how to do this in a query based report via criteria, buthow to get this to work when the reports been directly made from a table.

Tried to find things but being a mix of a couple of different actions havn't been able to actually find it
So basically I found a awesome form somewhere that builds the SQL query based on all the users selections.
When you hit the create button it will save the query and update the sub data sheet below with your query results.
From here the part I'm lost on is getting the TOP x number of records and moving them to a new table, I wanted it to work on the 2 drop down boxes that are on the form. select your values and hit the button.
I'd imagine it would be a sub query that I'd use for the top x like I have in the past but I just can't seem to get it to work
Quick steps
1. create your query
2. check your data in the sub datasheet
3. decide the number of records to move to the new table
4. select the name
5. hit the button
This would copy the ban, xcv & dfs fields from the importeddata table to the moverecordshere table & also update persname in the moverecordshere table with the name selected in the form.
Sample db attached ....
