Finding Combo Box Duplicates
Jan 21, 2005
I have a Lost and Found Database that I enter information in usually every day.
Lots of items like gloves and glasses are entered into the item/s description field as
name of item then color or some other descriptive.
How do you make the combo box bring up all of the items that are related so that I can
pick from a tighter list? Right now when I click on the combobox for say, gloves, it will
bring up only one record of gloves and then I have to scroll through the entire
database to find the right record.
Table Properties
Lost and Found ITEM/S DESC Field:
Field Size - 50
Required - Yes
Allow Zero Length - No
Indexed - No
Unicode Compression - Yes
Form Combo Box After Update [Event Procedure]
Private Sub Combo22_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ITEM/S DESC:] = '" & Me![Combo22] & "'"
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

Hi
Is there a way of finding duplicate field entries in a table and a query: e.g.
In the Sickness Query (which contains, say 10 fields), in the Section field, it says "Benefits", and in the Week Commening field, it says "15/10/06"
And then
In the Nil Return Table (which only contains the Section & Week commencing fields), they also say "Benefits" and "15/10/06"
If there is a way of finding them, how do I delete the entry that has been made in the Nil return table?
Thanks
Maria

Hi, been searching this forum for a couple of months now im working with access and up till now i have solved most of my problems:D
Ok the problem.
For the purpose of the question I have a training database:
running one table with user id and user name.
another for job id and job name.
Another for training table with an autonumber, user id, job id, and date
Id like to build a query which bought up the newest only for each user id and job id.
eg.
UI JI Date
2 5 01/05/05
2 5 01/05/06
3 5 01/05/05
3 6 01/05/05
4 6 01/05/06
to
UI JI Date
2 5 01/05/06
3 5 01/05/05
3 6 01/05/05
4 6 01/05/06
Iv tried using a few different ways of using duplicate queryies etc, but im just too newb to figure it out :(
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry for the question's wording.
Here is what bugs me:
- I have one table tblRefctc with the followings fields :
LCtcRef,../..,LRefServ0, LrefServ1,..LrefServ16.
Where all those Lref are long; LCtcRef being the primary key. This table describe a contact from different branches (account, etc..) so while each branch has the relevant information about this contact, they know that that branch too is in contact with the same person.
- I have this other table with describes Events, TblIdxEvt (meeting, whatever) :
LRefidx,IdxEvt,IdxCtc
where IdxCtc is filled with LCtcRef once an event is created.
What I must check for is : For the same IdxEvt, should another branch makes an appointement for LCtcRef (i), I must check if one of the LRefServ0 to LRefServ16 are not already added in the event table.
At this time, I am stuck with making functions which test the existence of the LRefServ(i) (i ranging from 0 to 16) in tblIdxEvt, but I wonder if there is a simpler way to do it with SQL (which, as you could guess, Im not good at).
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I need to create a query that will pull duplicate names out of my db.
I would like it to pull all names that have:
duplicate LastName and duplicates of the first 3 letters of the FirstName.
For example, if I had the names:
Bland, Abe
Brown, Abe
Brown, Bill
Buster, Jon
Buster, Jonathon
I would like my query to return only Buster, Jon and Buster, Jonathon.

Hello,
I am just starting Access...
Or at least trying to learn it on a small project, and I need a jumpstart, if someone woild be so kind and help me out.
I need to organize my e-mail sendings.
In one table (Table Sent) I have e-mail addresses where I have already sent messages.
In an other (Table New) I have some other e-mail addresses, I am preparing to send out.
To make sure to not send mail to those who already got one, I need to compare the two tables, and delete from the Table New those addresses which are already present in Table Sent.
I guess that would be a 2-3 line SQL script...
All of my attempts so far produced no results
Any guidance would be great!
Thanks
Attila

I am using Access 2010 32-bit on a Windows 7 64-bit platform.I have a database that I have imported existing data into. For the most part, I have eliminated duplicate entries in my Item Number field.
Obviously I have missed at least one (or possibly more) duplicates. When I try to create a NO DUPLICATES index, I am informed that there are duplicate entries.I am looking for a quick way to generate a list of values that are duplicated so I can address those and correct them.Item number field is a number field of type DOUBLE with 2 decimal places.

I've been looking everywhere to find a better way of finding duplicates in a table and then recording and adding another value in that record together.
Let me try to explain better.
example:
I have a table that has 2 columns "Name", "DOB". I would like to find all duplicate "DOB" and add all of the "Name"'s together.
Quote:
Name DOB
bob 19800201
Sam 19761211
Jim 19800201
The output I would like is to have Name = bob & Jim DOB = 19800201.
I've tried using the find duplicate wizard in access but I can't seem to group them together and just to find the duplicates it takes upwards of a minute.

I've been working on trying to get this code to work as expected for days. I'm trying to find duplicates (I can't use primary keys or indexes alone to weed out duplicates due to the structure of the tables involved) in a subform as a user enters data. As soon as a project number is added, the code is supposed to count the number of records that contain that particular project number as well as a category number (there can be multiples of the same project numbers as long as their category numbers are different). This is the code I am using in the "Before Update" event of the field in the subform:
Private Sub ProjectID_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim RecCount As Integer
strCriteria = "([ProjectID] = " & Me.ProjectID & ") AND ([CatID] = " & Me.CatID & ")"
RecCount = DCount("[ProjHrsID]", "tblProjHrs", strCriteria)
[Code] .....
What could I be doing wrong? Nothing about this code seems to work properly - even the Undo and Cancel=True is a problem (I get the "No current record" error).

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. I'm trying to import values to a Combo List from a table:
Row Source = SELECT Tasks.Milestones FROM Tasks;
where Task is a table and Milestones a field of that table. In this field (Milestones) there are repeated values, but I'd like to hide those duplicates when I want to chose them from the Combo List. I don't know If it is clear, if not it's because I'm not an Expert of Access :p
Thanks a lot for your attention,
Ciao

I am using a sequence of combo boxes on a 'Continuous' form.
To reduce the possibility of error I am using a 'Value List' combo box where I use AddItem method to add the previously entered string to the combo control so that it is there for use when entering the next record.
This works fine - but what I want to ask is - how to have a routine to check that the string does not already exist in the combo box before I AddItem i.e., I don't want duplicated values in the list.....

I'm trying to create a combo box that takes its values from a field in a table, the thing is that this field has duplicates because:
* The table is a qualification look up table
* It has 3 fields: QualificationID (autonumber), Qualification(e.g. Bachelor), Programme (e.g. Science)
* E.g of duplicate values (this is not a problem as it is necessary) Bachelor of Science, Diploma of Science, Certificate of Science
What I'm trying to do is create 2 single-columned combo boxes that are a parameter for a query and it's working except the combo boxes show duplicated valuesIs there a way to get the query that is the row source for the combo box to eliminate duplicates?

Hey, all! Thanks for helping, here is my situation.
I have a table with about 70,000 records that have duplicate Address field values. The rest of the field values for those records are different. When I do a find duplicate querry I get the result that 17,000 records have the same address. However, when I do the append qurrey as instructed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209183 I get a total of only 600 records in the new table. I have tried deleting all of the indexes for both the new and old table, with no luck.
I'm using Access 2000 on XP Pro.
If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Will

I have an Access table with an indexed key that is currently set to duplicates OK. There are not supposed to be any duplicates in that field. But it is possible than a small number have crept through.
Two questions:
1. What would happen to those duplicate records if I changed the setting from duplicates OK to no duplicates?
2. Is there any way to ferret out those duplicate records first and change them manually? The table currently has 48000 records so it would be a pain to go through them page by page. (I know how to export them to Excel, where the dups can easily be found; I was just wondering if something could do it within Access.)

Hi all:)
I am looking for some advise, I work for a small service company and we our trying to computerize our service jobs through the use of access 2007, We have completed 80% of the database but are having a few problems completing, for example the search function on some forms etc, I have searched the web for help and have posted the problem on this forum a number of times but I am still unable to get it to work myself as I am new to access , the problem is I need the database completed asap before we take on a bigger contract and I am running out of time, so I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone / or any company out there that could have a look at the search form, I would obviously pay for it, I have tried to approach a few companies but they will not take on such a small job, they only want to take on the development of the entire database?
Anyone know of anyone?

Hi
I hope someone can help with this as I can't seem to get this query to work.
I am trying to use a query to search for the highest value in a column but based upon a specific criteria.
i.e. in the column will be ABC1234, ABC1235, ABC1236 and BBC1234 and I want to get the highes 'ABC' value
I looked on the forum and found this code
Dim strSQL As String
Dim MyValue As DataType 'Replace the proper datatype of field
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset, Cn As ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set Cn = CurrentProject.Connection
strSQL = "SELECT tableName.ColumnName FROM tableName ORDER BY tableName.ColumnName DESC"
rs.Open strSQL, Cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
MyValue = rs!ColumnName
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
I've modified the query to this
strSQL = "SELECT tableName.ColumnName FROM tableName WHERE tableName.ColumnName Like 'ABC*' ORDER BY tableName.ColumnName DESC"
This doesn't bring anything back but I was expecting 'ABC1236'
I'm new to using 'Like' so this could be the problem.
Your help is much appreciated.

Greetings all,
It's been a while since I've had to turn to you for help. I'm usually able to find what I need in searching through previous posts, but no luck this time around.
I am trying to write a query criteria that will return
BAC-5, BAC-8 And BAC-12
I can get the -5 and -8 with:
Like "BAC-[58]"
But I can't figure out how to get the -12...
The actual part numbers are quite a bit longer and there are hundreds where I only need specific dash numbers returned.
I'm sure this one will be simple, I just couldn't seem to figure out how to search for it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys
I have a DB for insurance permits.
tblSubtractors
ID
NAME
ADDRESS
PHONE
tblPolicy
ID
SubbyID
POLICYID
Insurer
PolicyNumber
ExpiryDate
tblPolicyTypes
ID
Name
Most subcontractors will have a policy number for each type of policy in tblPolicy. But is there a way I can run a query to show each subby that doesnt have one of the policies? As an example, the query would show me that ABCcontractors doesnt have Marine Transit insurance. XYZContractors doesnt have Public Liability, etc
I know how to show all the policies that have expired, but I'm looking to identify which ones dont have a policy at all
:confused:

Now this is not like me, posing a question, but I thought its about time I codes the app correctly.
My app opens up any given spreadsheet. The first task is to establish the last row used in the spreadsheet. Normally you would loop until there is nothing in a cell in column A, whatever.
However the way the spreadsheets are provided there may be pleanty of blank rows. I have tried using the Edit GoTo Special LastCell and converting it to a macro
But when I run this VB it does not like it for some reason.
I am sure someone out there has come up with a solution by now.

I have a table, with 4 records in it. 2 records have the "date" field for 01/11/2005, and 2 dates are for 02/11/2005.
Is there a way to just query the "current" date? Weather it be in a pop-up box once the query is selected, asking for the date? or is there a restricted word within access2003 that lets you find the current date?
I would essentially like a command button within a form to allow the user hit teh button, and it will automatically find those records within the DB with the current date(set to system clock) and export it to excel(i have this portion, the exporting to excel complete)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok ihopefully i wont make this too complicated to under stand.
i ahev a form which will populate a form from a query. the query is pulling info out a table included int hti sinfo is the date when it was entered. in the criterai of the query i hve added this code
Between [Forms]![Boxes Reviewed]![txtFromDate1] And [Forms]![Boxes Reviewed]![txtToDate1]
whcih means that the date must be between the two differnt dates that must be entered on the form.
the problem is, is that a value can be entered more that once with different dates. i woul dwant the report just to shouw the most recent date. i considered doing a query which requested all max dates from the table and then having a query calling forma query. but i do not know enough on how to get just the most recent date.
so if i wrote a query which held
box num, shelf num, resp_person, and date. what would i have to put int he criteria to only bring back the entery witht he most recent date.
sorry if i have rambled and look forward to your help
