Form/Report/Query Aka How To Change Criteria Value
Feb 14, 2006
I have built a database with only my department in mind that tracks three types of documents; Which works fine. Now some of my fellow department heads desire to use what I have built.
This is not a problem as their data structure is the same. The difficulty lies in changing the 30 queries. In the queries I hard coded my department number in the receiver (department field) criteria.
Additionally, my HQ is requesting me to perform some analysis on the other department's data. So other than manually changing the department number each time; Can I use a form or report to modify these 30 queries? I attempted to use a combo box but it would not hold the value when I closed the form.
I saw this thread today, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102036 , but am not sure it will do what I want.
I have small data base with many tables, one of them a table for equipment wit related details, as below fields.
1-EqipmentID 2-SerialNO 3-Model 4-Coustmer 6-City
I created one normal method query of ACCESS "QueryEQ" on that table , but every time I want to change any criteria I have to edit manual direct to query design .
What I need to do now is to create a form with one combo box showing all "model" and after select any mode I have to press command bottom to change the criteria of the model of the existing query "QueryEQ" and run it and show the result in a subform in same form.
I want to create a form that allows a user to enter criteria that will be passed to an existing make table query. suggestions on a user friendly book on Access 2010 programming, I'd be really interested. I'd like to be able to do more with Access 2010.
I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
I have a database consisting of one table with 5 columns, called Name, Zip Code, Model, Serial #, and Reference #
I made a form with 5 text boxes (generically named Field 1 through 5), and then I built a query. I put all five of the table's fields in the query. In the criteria fields of those five columns, I have
Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field1] & "*" Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field2] & "*" Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field3] & "*" Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field4] & "*" Criteria: Like "*" & [Forms]![Search_form]![Field5] & "*"
However, here in lies the problem: Some of the records don't have a reference field included, and others don't have serial numbers, and etc. Basically, some records have blank fields.
So to find all of "John"s records, we would put John in Field1, and then run the query.
The first criteria is now looking for *John*, which is correct (it might find Jack John, Johnny, John John, or anything else with j o h n in it).
The rest of the criteria are now looking for **.
However, what about the records with blank fields?
John ; _____ ; SDMS71 ; 1231234 ; REF9001 will NOT make it into the query, because that blank field for some reason doesn't meet the ** wildcard!
how can I accomodate this "blank field" problem? I want those records with blank fields to still be included in the query, because they still belong to "John", and that's what i wanted to search for! :(
I have a database with 20 queries designed specifically for my department (SAM). A friend would like to use my database i.e. queries, reports, etc., but her department is named different (PAM).
The the field names in the each of our imported 'data' is the same, EXCEPT, each record in her department data field has "PAM" mine "SAM". However, her department is not part of my data import nor mine of hers nor will they ever be.
How can I, except manually, change every instance of "SAM" to "PAM" in the 20 queries?
The query for my form has a boolean field with ' like "No" ' in the criteria. I want users to be able to use a command button to change this to ' like "Yes" ' then requery the form.
Basically, what I want to do is toggle between current records ("No" in the boolean) and Archived Records ("Yes" in the boolean).
Hello, I am trying to change some query critera with a script.
Basically I have a drop down list which I select and once selected it requeries a subform. I would like to change one of my query parameters, specifically the criteria in a column.
To change query "MyQuery" column "Model" criteria, I've tried:
Code:!Queries!MyQuery!Model.Criteria = "Ultra5"
but that doesn't work. Is that even close to being right?
Hi there, I have a search form with a text box (unassigned at the moment). The search I want to conduct, filters the product number by the users search string with the use of * as a wildcard option.
I also have a Query with all the product numbers listed, no criteria set. How can I link the the search string in the search form to the query so when the search button is pressed, it will filter the results.
I have managed to build a macro that will run a query I have in Access but what I would like to do is be able to change some of the query criteria using the macro script or any other way possible.
I use expression on the query field, but after I run it, the field change its format from number to text, how to reformat on the query criteria to change the text to integer format?
I have an access 2007 database connect to sql server 2008.I am running a pass though query to search between two dates (this query has been fine for years)
If I now run any search using parameters from 26th March 2014 to date - the query takes 10+ minutes to run.If I then change the date to 25th March 2014 to date - it runs in a nano second.I have not changed the back tables and I have not changed the format the data is saved in.
Does anyone know how I can, as stated, change a report's query dependency? I copy and pasted several reports and want to make macro buttons to access the reports and put them on a form. However I want each button to point to a different query, which in turn point to different reports.
When I copy and pasted the reports, I go into "Objects that I depend on" and I can't change the query it points to! Help!
Objective to have a report generated from a query (Based on a Storage Table) in the record-source however need to make adjustments to each record based on the query output ie User Id is outputted as number as it needs to be for everything else but on the report loading needs to run an sql query on that ID number to get the name and then replace that value with the name and so on for each record and each appropriate column
Problem:I can either change All of the records outputted with the first records info or nothing at all. i need this process to occur individually on each outputted record
I have a continuous form that has 5 columns of data per line and it also has a 6th column that I can enter data into. What I want to be able to do is if I enter data into the 6th column it will copy that record except the 5th column to a report.
I have tried searching this forum and other but not quite sure of the terminology so not getting good results.
I have a client that I made a database for with Purchase Orders. He wants to call them purchase Orders instead of Invoices (whatever).I have two reports created, Sales by Customer and Sales by Account Manager. I have two fields on the reports menu for Start Date and End Date.
The queries for each of these reports looks at the Start Date and End Date just fine. Now, the client wants optional criteria of selecting all customers or a specific customer, or all Account Managers or a specific Account Manager.
the fields are CustomerID and AccountManagerID. What would the criteria code look like for each to give the user a choice as specified above?
I have a simple report which i open from a navigation form, i have a textbox in the report i wish to use as criteria, on start the report will be blank until i enter a name into the textbox and requery. However im not sure how to link this and how to stop access asking for this information before the report is opened?
I have the following code which i found on another thread on this forum (thanks to original author) which is attached to the On Click of a button which prints the report corresponding to the details displayed in the form.
Dim strCriterion As String Dim strMsg As String, strTitle As String Dim intStyle As Integer
This works fine, however, i need to be able to select the report based on more than 1 criteria. For example, the Reference Number can be repeated but is distinguishable from each other by an Issue Number i.e. ReferenceNumber = 93, Issue 1 or 2 etc. At present when i run the above it prints all versions of, in this case, reference number 93, which given that each report is only a single page isn't a show-stopper but it would be nice to have it working as i would like.
I have tried adding to the strCriterion line such as strCriterion = "[ReferenceNumber]=" & Me![ReferenceNumber] and "[IssueNumber]=" & Me![IssueNumber] but no joy. I have tried bracketing the whole line and variations thereof, again no joy.
Can anybody tell if what i am attempting to do is possible and if so how do i go about it?
I have tried the above coding using MasterID which is the Autonumber PK but it produces an "Enter Parameter Value" box for MasterID. Obvioulsy if i can get it to work for the Autonumber then my problem goes away but i can't seem to figure out why it works for Reference Number (Number) and not MasterId (Autonumber)?
I have a form with 3 combo boxes that filter another form/report. The first combo (cboByCategory) contains options from 2 different fields within the same table. Before I added this add'l piece of code, all 3 combos worked fine. I am not getting error messages, it just does not filter on the other 2 combo boxes - cboDiv and cboGender.
Code: Private Sub cmdModifyRecords_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdModifyRecords_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim strFilter As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "Modify_OpenItems"
I have a form. On the form I have a button to run a report.The query associated with the report selects all records within a unit (field name (Unit) is used as the selection criteria).Rather than type in the unit name when the report is run, I want to select the unit that is currently shown on the form.
I can't get my reports' unbound field's to display the criteria parameter I enter when report is opened. I have done this before but not in Access 2010.
In my parameter, I do have a long string inside the brackets (e.g. =[Enter START Date "1/1/14" or Leave Ranges Blank to show ALL]). I am wondering if this or the quotes inside the brackets are causing it not to work.
