I have a table of order lines. Each line of data the order number is repeated for every line. I need to just pull out one line for each order number. I assume a query would do this but I don't know how to create it. The order number is numeric. Can some one show me the way?
View RepliesDear all,
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a slight problem which seems like it should be easy to solve but I have no idea how to do it.
I have 2 tables (table1 and table2 for instance) Table2 contains more data than table1 but should contain everything in table1 as well as more.
How is it possible to return just records that are in table2 that are not in table1
Eg
Table1 contains:
IDab
112
222
322
422
511
611
711
Table2 contains:
IDab
112
222
322
422
511
611
711
833
The query should return just the line:
833
as this is unique.
thanks again
I have one table with 250 fields and hundreds of records. Each field represents a computer we have and the records in that field represent the type of applications we have on that computer. So the table looks like this:
Computer 1..........Computer 2.......... Computer 3........ Computer 250
Microsoft...............Google.................... .Paint.....................Microsoft
Windows Hotfix......Security Updates.......Java ......................Google
Java.....................Mediaplayer.............. Google.....................Java
As you can see, most computers have the same applications, but some have applications that others do not. I just need the list of applications we have from all computers. Meaning each app is listed only once.
I just need each application listed once. So I was trying to come up with a way to delete all the duplicates or use a Totals query to group the apps but since my table has 250 columns I'm not really sure how to go about it. What kind of query would be best to make this work?
Hi
I have a table called SWAPS which contains information on each user and the different equipment he has been issued. Query at the moment contains 5 fields
Payroll, Surname, Firstname, Mobile No and Date sent.
SQL for this query is as follows
Select Swaps.PR, Swaps.surname,swaps.firstname,swaps.[mobile no],Max(Swaps,[Date Sent] as Lastdate
From Swaps
Group by swaps.pr, swaps.surname,swaps.firstname,swaps.[mobile no]
Order by swaps.pr;
Now when I run this I get the results I want by date so I get
123456 Smith Fred 0788411025 12/3/8
456789 West Bob 012555447854 13/1/8
So it correctly ids all the last dates for me as I want to see the latest issue date for that user. Now I want to add in another column to this query which contains the serial number of the equipment issued and heres where the problem lies. If a user has been issued more than 1 piece of kit, I get all the serial numbers irrespective of date. How do I get it to display the serial number for the latest date?
Thanks
I have a MS Access 2000 database with 136 data tables in it. What I would like to do is execute a piece of VBA code which will list for me in another table, (for example: Field1: TABLE NAME Field2: FIELD NAME 1 Field2: FIELD NAME2 etc), starting left to right, how many fields would have to be combined in each table to represent a unique record.
For instance:
TYPE ID TEXT
1 1 "Cats"
1 2 "Dogs"
2 1 "Rabbits"
In this example a combination of the fields TYPE and ID give a unique record.
Any help most appreciated.

Hello, I have no idea what to search for to see if someone else has already asked this question. I've tried several things with no luck. So here goes...
I work in a library. We deal with thousands of journal subscriptions--we cancel our subscriptions and order new journals all of the time. Every paper journal we have is assigned a unique number, called a ZP number. When we throw out a journal, that ZP number can be assigned to a new journal.
I would like to find the earliest missing number in the sequence without having to check manually. Is there a way I can do a query or something to find missing numbers in the sequence? The ZP numbers start with 1 and go up to 9999.
So, I have two fields: Title and ZP#.
How can I do this?
This is a cloned table, used solely for assigning ZP#'s, so it can be altered in any way--including adding records with blank titles for each missing number.
Thanks,
Siena
Hi
I've searched the forum and only found one thread which covers this but doesn't help me.
I have a table with peoples individual information in it.
Every person has a unique ID number.
I want to find the missing ID numbers when I delete a person so I can keep the numbers in sequence.
I am not using autonumber. The reason for this is coloured wristbands. Each wristband has a unique number and they are broken into 4 colours. each colour has a number range 1 - 300, 301 - 600, 601 - 900, 901 - 1200. Each person in the table has to have an ID number matching a wristband. The people are also broken into 4 colour categories. This means that not every range is filled before i need to start using the next range.
Hope that makes sense.

I need to create a very simple database that would just store records and produce a couple of reports. I have three tables: one with the roster , one has records of the inventory items people from the roster receive and another one contains types of inventory we have. Everything is very simple except for one part. Every time we make a record of an inventory item given to someone, it requires not only employee id and inventory type from the existing tables. It needs us to enter a serial number of an item. This serial number contains a letter and a number.
Looks something like this - M100. Many people receive a consecutive set of inventory items. For example, from M100 to M150. There is no way to have a separate table with all serial numbers because they constantly change. That is why we need to have two text boxes that would allow us to input a range of serial numbers or just one number. Then the program should separate numbers from letters, evaluate the range, create new records of numbers and then put new numbers and a letter back together into one field in the table where we have all inventory records.
I found the following code online that allows me to find numbers within a range, but it only works for numbers.
Dim varRange As Variant
Dim lngLow As Long
Dim lngHigh As Long
Dim lngCounter As Long
DoCmd.Hourglass True
[code]...
I then found a piece of code that is supposed to separate numbers from letters, but I can't find a way to make it work.
Public Function FindNum(strName As String) As String
Dim strTemp As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(strName)
strTemp = Mid(strName, i, 1)
If (Asc(strTemp) < 91 And Asc(strTemp) > 64) Or (Asc(strTemp) < 128 And Asc(strTemp) > 96) Then
FindNum = Right$(strName, Len(strName) - i)
End If
Next i
End Function
how to alter the code to make it work for my specific situation.
I have a database with around 5083 records and I am trying to find the three most common numbers called in any one record such as 5 22 and 39 has been called together 50 times
Here is the structure # 1 through 5 is a number between 1 and 39 but never duplicated in same record
Record 1 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 2 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 3 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 4 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 5 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 6 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
Record 7 |draw#|Date|#1|#2|#3|#4|#5|
and so on for 5083 records

Hey guys,
Hope you can help with this one. I have a form called "frmPatientID", based on a query "qryPatientID" and table "tblPatientID".
I have a field called HospitalNo that is set to "text" and contains the patient's unique hosptal number of 123456, 008777, etc.
However, although the above numbers have to be unique, if the patient is out of the area they get a number of 000000 and this is not unique (i.e. more than one patient can be out of the hospitals area).
So how do I get the database to control this via a rule? (As in everything NOT 000000 needs to be unique). Is it on the form on an AfterUpddate or can I do it in the table?
Many thanks,
Rusty

Hello,
I have a field called "Project #" that needs to generate a unique number each time a command button is clicked. For example, when the button is clicked the blank "Project #" field is filled in with "653001". After the "Project #" field is filled in the button also runs a code to create a report exported into Excel. This report will only have the records with the Project Number of "653001".
Then, when more records are added and it's the end of the next week, the button is clicked again and the "new" blank "Project #" fields will be filled with the next Project number which would be "643002". A report will again be created but now with only the records with the Project number of "643002".
The first three characters will always be the same for the Project Number "653" but the last three will increase whenever the button is clicked to update any new records that have a blank "Project #". So, it should look like: 653001, 653002, 653003, 653004, etc.
I know it sounds confusing but I hope someone can help.
Thank!

We are trying to use Access to generate, job, task and craft numbers in Access. Job and task will be unique. Craft numbers can use the auto number function. We need the numbers to be 4 digits for Job and Task.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically what I have is a database for tracking/logging parcels that arrive to the office. I want to be able to generate a reference number based on the date of arrival: i.e. the reference number should be ddmmyy### where ### is a sequential number. I know that I could just use the primary key's autonumber, for the sequential number but if I do this then the sequence will not restart at 1 on each date and because we receive a lot of parcels the reference number will grow to be too big to print out on the collection slips in just a few months.
two tables (one with the date and staff on duty that day and the other with the parcel's info') with a one to many relationship
I also have a query (Named: FullLog) that picks up the following data from the tables:
Name - Description - Size - TrackingInfo' - Staff - DateReceived - Count
The field named Count is a DCount function that I used to find out the number of times each date is repeated. This is the Expression that I used:
Count: DCount("*","FullLog","DateReceived = " & [DateReceived]) [Note that DateReceived is first converted into a string using CStr()]
This is as far as I have been able to get, I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find one. I don't even know if the DCount function is the correct way of doing it, I did read somewhere that this produces a very slow query.
Effectively what I want to be able to get is something of that resembles the following
DateReceived - ReferenceNo

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
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

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?
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?

I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.

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?

I'm searching through some text fields like the following:
Ann12 #1
Ann12 #2
Ann12 #3
Ann1 #12
Ann2 #14
ect...
I'm doing a like query
Like "*#*2*"
However, the # is the keyword for Date, so what do I use instead?
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

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

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
