Find All Queries (or Reports) Using A Particular Field?
Jul 21, 2005
I've inherited a database with many queries (most based on a single table). There is a requirement to change the name of a few fields in the table. Is there a way to find ALL queries/reports that are utilizing the fields that need to be changed so I know what queries need to be modified?
I have a field in a table called [PostalCode]. It is a Text field.
I have a report that used the [PostalCode] field. This is a report in a template that I downloaded from Microsoft.
If I enter "1234" in the field in the table, it looks fine in the table.
If I use the field in the report, it display as "1234-"
If I enter "1234567890" in the field in the table, it looks fine in the table.
If I use the field in the report, it display as "23456-7890"
I do not want any mask whatsoever and just want the value to be displayed as the user enters it.
I have looked at the properties of the field and there is nothing setup, I looked at the properties of the Form that edits the field and there is nothing also.
If I look in the actual report I see the following bit of code ,it is the control source for the Text box that is used to display a number of fields including [PostalCode]:
=DLookUp("[Suburb/City]","My Company Information") & ", " & DLookUp("[State]","My Company Information") & " " & Format(DLookUp("[PostalCode]","My Company Information"),"!&&&&&-&&&&")
I need to do a query to find a field value from similar fields. Table 1 has fields(customer id,...) and table 2 has fields (customer id, address,...). I need to use customer id from table 1 to find address in table 2. Both customer id fields in both tables is the same.
I need a query to find all the field header names that contain string "PL-" and along with records contain a value with the field name containing "PL-" within a Access DB table.
i have to process 3 upcoming months bills .. say i want to show in query like this bill for Nov, Dec, Jan based on the issue date i mentioned earlier and the months to be find from the numeric month field like 3 i mentioned which mean 3 months ahead from issue date.
I have no experience with Access Modules which I think I need to find all the queries that reference a field, in this example: LAWSON_LHSEMPDEMO.R_STATUS
I would like for the module to list all the queries for me that reference this table and field of "LAWSON_LHSEMPDEMO.R_STATUS"
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1 WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
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've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.
I am trying to create a query to find missing sequential numbers in a text field. I am using this specific field as a case number which is designated as two letters, the # sign, two digits indicating the year, a dash, and then a four digit number; For Example: AB#13-1234.
The reason for this query is to tell the user of this database that a specific case number has yet to be entered and needs to be. The case numbers are unique and will never be referenced more than once.
My table name is "MainDataTbl" and the field i'm trying to find the missing case numbers is titled "CaseNumber".
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
I am trying to create a form with multiple combo boxes where users can select fields from my main database and click a button to generate a report based on their selections. I think I am supposed to create a generic report with perhaps 4 fields where I would link the four combo boxes to. The issue is I cant seem to get the selection of the combo box to change the field that the report should pull from the database. I think I am supposed to use dlookup in the reports control source for each field, but I cant seem to get it to work.
I am creating a registration DB for a school. My tables are all set up and working, but what I cannot figure out how to do is to create a report such that upon opening it, a little dialogue box pops up and asks me "Term" and "Class" and then I type those things in and viola I get a class list.
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?
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
Ok this might be a really stupid question, but in the quest to always make my life a little bit easier thought i would ask !
I have been asked to find the relationship between a number of tables and queries, so that this company can find out which tables and fields in tables are no longer really used, in other words how many queries and which ones is table A used in if you understand what I mean !
doing it manually means checking every query (and there are a lot !!) and seeing which table they use.. what I want to know is what is the quickest way to to this? can I do it from the table end? in others find out how many queries Table A is used in ? or do I have to go through each query individually? if this is the case my thoughts were just on copying and pasting the sql view from every query into a a word or txt doc and then doing a search /find for each table name? but if anyone has a more efficient idea on how to do this if u cld let me know !! :confused:
Hi am a forensics student taking a course in Database management and we use microsoft access 2003. I opened an assignment already started in 03 format, I am now running access 2007 and I need to make modifications to a previous query but I can't find the query table. how do I view my pre made queries on the 2007 version?
I would like to find the largest value for each row in a query. I have a query with several fields, each field has an expression that produces an integer.
Max and DMax seem to pertain to the values in a single field; I need to evaluate values from multiple fields in a single row.
I keep seeing 'range' mentioned but I have yet to see any examples of evaluating a series of data like 'col1;col2;col3' or anything remotely similar.
I am desinging a report, I cannot see some fileds in Sorting and grouping. The query that I am runing has those fieds, How can I get to see all the fileds in sorting and grouping?
When opening a form i get asked for a parameter value for a field that has been deleted. it obvioulsy still exists somewhere but I cannot find it. i have analysed performance, all tables, forms and queries but it doesn't come up with this filed anywhere. the field name has even been spelt wrong so i thought it would be easy to track! Help - what else can i do to find where this parameter is being called from??
I have four forms named [Information Form], [Evidence Form], [Subject Form], and [Vehicle Form]. The Final Form is a Tabbed Form named [New Incident]. The tabbed form has four tabs, with each tab displaying one of the forms above. I also have a Print Command Button named [Print All] underneath the tabbed portion of the [New Incident] form.
Also, All of the four forms are set to data entry - yes, so that on open they will be clean and read for new record entry. I need the [Print All] button to do, just that, print everything that has or has not just been entered into the four forms, even if some are printed blank because they were not necessary for this particular report. One thin of note is that each form on the tab has a field for the "Incident Number" which will be the same for all four forms.
I've got two tables, both are indexed by customer ID, with a series of dates against the customer ID. One has a list of all dates a customer was visited, the other is a list of dates where activity happened on the customer account
I want to get a list of the dates when the customer was visited but where no activity happened on the customer account, i.e. where there is a customer visit date on the customer visit table but no record for that date on the activity table.
How do I do that? I can find all dates where was a date was on both tables, but how to find where its on one but not the other
