I have a query based on an SQL database that our company uses to document problems and resolutions. I need to run a report that will show all the reports that were completed in the last 30 day. The field that the approval date is documented is called dbo_approved. Sometimes a report is approved and then at a later date reopened to add something then approved again. The design of this database is such that the first approval is one record and the second approval is a different record. So, using a normal query I will find some records that were previously appproved which I don't care about. I only want a list of reports that were approved for the first time within the last 30 days. Is there a criteria I can use in my query to only look for the first approval date?
Is there a way that when I field gets a password entered into a field the form can be locked so nothing on that record or subform linking to that record can be altered ...
I am considering the possibility of revamping the employee onboarding & off-boarding process for our organisation to make it more efficient.
Current State: We use InfoPath forms in SharePoint Servers 2010 to handle onboarding/employee change/off-boarding requests submitted by the related department. With the Workflow process, the respective manager will receive email to approve the requested intake form and once it is done, the form will be assigned to someone in the business support team for processing. Once all the required logistics are completed, we shall enter the new hire's profiles into our MS Access employee database through an employee input form.
It works well although it seems like a duplication of work since the support team has to manually input the employee information, which is already captured on the InfoPath form, into the Access database. We also need to align the field options (such as data on drop down lists) in the InfoPath form with similar field on the input form in the database whenever there are new field added or changes made on existing fields.
Future State: I wonder if there is a way in Access to set up a similar request/approval process so that we can get rid of the InfoPath form when the requester can input the employee information on a onboarding intake form in Access with data stored in a temporary table. After the request is approved and subsequently completed by the business support team, we can say, click a button and transfer the employee data from the temporary table to the employee table. Of course, some sort of validation rules should apply before the transfer takes place to ensure data integrity.
I think the major challenges would be to build an approval process within Access to provide similar notification features as from InfoPath.
I know this might be a wild thinking but just want to look for possible options to save manual work and improve the efficiency of our process.
I'm reworking a db to make it web compatible. Right now I'm working on my Price and Sales tables.There are about 900 Sales records, 450 Price records (for about 45 Items).
I have re-done my Price table with an Autonumber Key field. (It had a multi-key which I understand web db does not support.) Each autonumber key represents a Date with new Price for a Company/Item. The Price change Dates are random.
I have put a Foreign Field in my Sales table for the Price key field.
My dilemma is matching the Sales with the Prices.
When the Price Date and Sales Date do not match (at least half of them don't match), I need to look back in the Price table to the max Date BEFORE the Sales Date in the Sales table for that Company/Item in order to select the correct Price key.
I want to find out the last 6 months date from todays date. So as todays date is 27th january 2015 so the code should give me the date which is 6 months back from todays date so it will be something like 27th July 2014.
I'm trying to query to find the latest date of a file that has multiple dates. I need the criteria to be the last date, and not just display the last date so I can find the transaction. I thought Dmax may work, but I don't know what my criteria would be. I put an example below. I'm looking for the last date, which would be 5/5/2014. I can't put in the date as the criteria since I am using this for a large amount of files, and the dates differ.
I have a problem finding the last date entered in a table..The purpose is to find the record which entered last in a table. Is there any way to find the last record with date ? I am attaching a sample db with this. Please look that if my question is not clear here..
I have a list of project, each of which have dates which work were carried out on them. Each project can have more than one date. I want to be able to find the last date that any work was carried out, and then calculate how many days have passed since that happened.
I'm having a very strange problem with access. In vba I have an sql statement "select StudentID, CourseID from tblAttendance where AttendanceDate = #Whatever Date#".
Now this works for all dates (as far as I can see) before 01/07/2013 but after that it just doesn't find any records. I have manually added dates and checked and it didn't work.
How this could be possible? The date field is not in any relationship and it is Date/Time format. I don't even know how to go about troubleshooting this as it makes no sense to me.
It thinks these records have a date below 1/7/2013 and it can find dates after 1/12/2013.
I'd like to further automate our invoicing system and need a field which has the last day of the month an item was completed.
Currently we have a field in the table called [Date Done]. I'm planning on adding a further field [Tax_Point].
I'd like the field to select the [date done] value and enter the final day of that month, unless, the final date of that month is in the future. in which case it would need the current date.
We create invoices at sporadic times of the month, and in the next month for the previous month; hence the need for a system date check.
Memo field is called [Notes] and data is like this...
5/05/14 - Perry was on another call. LM 2/05/14 - Perry only at centre in the mornings, need to speak to him before sending samples. 13/06/13 - Perry in a meeting. lm 30/05/13 - See Little Hampton Early Learning - s/w Perry, has already received sample and info 29/05/13 - s/w Aspi, said to cb tomorrow and speak to Perry
I want to find each date in the Notes field so I can split the memo field data into another table where the memo field will become multiple records that hold date, text and customer/prospect ID fields. The customer table was easy because there was a <Div> tag before each date. However in the Prospects table there are no tags so how to change my vba code to search for each date before I split off the data.
Here is the part of the VBA code I used to find the <Div> tag in the customer notes field. How to find each date in the memo field? The date is in d/mm/yy format?
If Not rst.EOF Then Do StrSplit = Split(rst![Notes], "<Div>") For x = 1 To UBound(StrSplit)
And another table holding patient's surgeries (each patient will have only one surgery)
Code: PatientID SurgeryDate 1 4/1/12 2 ...
I need to compare these two tables and create a variable that indicates which pre-surgery visit date (i.e., VisitDate < SurgeryDate) is closest to the surgery date. In the above example, it would return:
I am trying to create a select query on "ApprovedDate" where no approval is recorded. IsNull returns an expected type mismatch. Any ideas? Regards:confused:
Setup a query to find the result in a table containing the highest date value.
The query is linked to two tables : Payment information containing the date, and tenant information containing the tenant.
In the query i have selected the tenant name from the payment table (which is linked to the tenant name in the payment table) and the payment terms - ie weekly / monthly etc. I've then selected the payment date from the payments table.
The query should return for each tenant the latest date they paid.
On the pay date i selected the Max option.
But it shows me more than one record.
SQL query is shown here
SELECT Max(tblPayments.DateDue) AS MaxOfDateDue, tblLease.cboPaymentTerms, IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=2,DateAdd("ww",1,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=3,DateAdd("ww",2,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=4,DateAdd("ww",4,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=1,DateAdd("m",1,[DateDue]),"n/a")))) AS calcNextPayDueDate, tblPayments.cboTenant FROM tblPayments INNER JOIN tblLease ON tblPayments.cboTenant = tblLease.cboTenant GROUP BY tblLease.cboPaymentTerms, IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=2,DateAdd("ww",1,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=3,DateAdd("ww",2,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=4,DateAdd("ww",4,[DateDue]),IIf([cboPaymentTerms]=1,DateAdd("m",1,[DateDue]),"n/a")))), tblPayments.cboTenant;
If I have four date Fields in a query, Astart, Bstart, Cstart, and Dstart and want to have a calculated field to find the latest date for each record how would I do that? I have tried things like:
I'm trying to create a report for how many "nasty grams" (rejection notices) my company has sent to people who keep sending in paper forms when they are supposed to file electronically.Every letter that goes out has information recorded based on whatever they sent to us - so the only remotely reliable way to count how many each person received is by the address on the envelope (people use different names, different business names, use different telephone numbers on the forms, etc).
I just built several queries that feed into a report that gets sent to my boss on a monthly basis to show the people who've sent in more than one paper form and have received our rejection notices more than once.I'm not the greatest at SQL, but I've been trying to find a way to use DISTINCT Addresses, leave all other fields the same (not DISTINCT), to:
1. Only return people who have received 2 or more letters
2. If at least one of the letters was sent more than 90 days ago AND If at least one of the letters was within the last 90 days -If at least one was within the last 90 days, only display the most recent send date of the letter (lots of people get back-to-back letters).
3. Display their names, addresses, telephone numbers, the date of the most recent letter sent, count of the total letters ever sent to that person. (the report will already do this, just need Max date)
My first query counts the number of times each address appears in the main table and simply only has [Address] and [CountofAddress]
My second query has the [Name], the [LetterDated] >=Now()-90, and the qryCountofAddress is linked to the main table by [Address], using [Countof Address] >=2...I have tried Selecting Unique Values in the Properties tab. Yes, I have tried INNER JOIN (but can't get the rest of my fields to display once I make addresses distinct).
I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type Candidate short text Unit short text EV1 Date Date EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15 TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant) ' Declare the two local variables. Dim I As Integer Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values. currentVal = FieldArray(0) ' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query: SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate FROM [Candidate AC Dates] GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)
I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time End Date/Time Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee 12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith 12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe 13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith 13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.
