I have a subform with year and month, subform shows result of a select query.
When I open query separately it show data as required order but when i show data in subform related to this query, data show in rearrange order.
How can I set order in subform as query result.
I have a combo box with the following entries:

I want the list sorted so that "Other" is at the bottom. Everything else is alphabetical ascending. Is this possible?
Hi,
I have a Form which contains a datasheet and I have some code which allows users to custom sort this datasheet. Another table based on this datasheet is then exported as a csv file.
However, the data is obviously not exported in the same order as the datasheet and it is quite critical for the application to be a sucess that it is exported in the custom order chosen by the user.
I have done some re-search, searching groups, forums etc and found the solution of having a 'sort column' in the table the datasheet relates to, I can then use this in the query that exports the data. My only problem with this is I had to manually fill in this sort column in the datasheet, once I had decided upon my final sort order. Is there anyway to fill this column automatically based on a row's position in a datasheet?
Many thanks in advance
Is there a custom control available that acts like a listbox or subform that has sort buttons at the top of each column?
Need more than 32k size too (Listbox limit). Access 2003
I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.
When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).
The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input.
Hope someone can help please.
I am using Microsoft Access 2010. It provides great filtering and sorting options in the ribbon for any object. But what if I hide the ribbon and want to create custom buttons on the form to do the filtering and sorting job? There are some filter options available in macros but are not quite like the ribbon's own Filter button. When the Filter button is clicked from the Robbin, a filter menu pops-up under the active field, which doesn't happen when I try to do it using Macro functions like "Apply Filter" or "Set Filter" etc. I want to have that big "FILTER" button from the Ribbon on my form.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).
I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer.
So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person.
As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending!
Can enybody help me?
Thanx,
Attila
I have a combobox (cbo_FileNames) that is unbound and gets fed on activate from a folder
Code:
Set SourceFolder = FSO.GetFolder("c:GundogManagerBackUp")
My problem is that the file names are as follows:
GundogManagerBackUp 02_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 03_12_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 07_08_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 16_11_13.xls
GundogManagerBackUp 17_12_13.xls
As you can see it consists of the name and a date of the backup. When it populates the combobox I want it to go in date order I newest to oldest. At the moment its going of the first number.
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.OrderByOn = True
Me.OrderBy = [Contract No]
End Sub
I want to use buttons on a form to change the sort order on a continuous form. In the buttons click event I am using a public function (named Sort_1) to change the sort order. The first element of the event call is the name of a generic query (named Sort_1_Query1) and the query field to sort (LAST_NAME OR FRIST_NAME, depending on the button.)This is the Click Statement.
=Sort_1("Sort_1_Query1","LAST_NAME")
This is the Public Function
Public Function Sort_1(SortName As String, FieldName1 As String)
DoCmd.ApplyFilter SortName, FieldName1 & "between 'A' and 'Z'"
End Function
I think the problem is in the use of quotation marks or trying to pass the query field name to the Do Command or the use of an ampersand.
In Access 2007.I have a Main Form with (1) subforms that have a differenet .RibbonName set. When switching focus to the subforms, the Ribbon Tab for the Main Form stays active and the subform's Ribbon is not activated. I have put the ribbons assigned to the subforms on a main form, and they activate as expected. This is a major issue to which I can find nothing on the web!If i open subform directly, ribbon functioning fine
-Allow Full Menus = false;
-start from scratch = true;
Wondering if it is possible to order by particular values??
That is I have a column (varchar) named "Status" with values such as; Entered, Active, Completed etc (I didnt design the DB).
What I need is to order by Entered, then by Active then Completed etc.. Is this possible??
Ive got this code for SQL; but it doesnt work in Access (03)..
ORDER BY
CASE Status
WHEN 'Entered' THEN 0
WHEN 'Active' THEN 1
WHEN 'Completed' THEN 2
ELSE 3 END, Status
I have a form with tab pages which I can not change the tab order.
When I bring up the Tab Order box no fields are displayed only a Custom Tab Order! Never seen this before.
Question is how to get rid of this and be able to change tab orders.
Thanks
I was wondering is this was possible in access. I've read material on grouping and sorting, but haven't been able to pin down what I need.
I have a combobox field that has 14 entries, beginning with 01 as the first two characters. What I'd like to do is change the order in which everything is displayed on the report.
For instance, show 07 at the top, then 09-13 below that, and so on...
How do you change a file's sort order from ascii to international?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
Hi all, I am new to this site and I am hoping that I might be able to get some help with my database which records address information of people reqesting a brochure or making a hotel booking. The problem that I am having is that the addresses are sorting in post code order, I have selected remove filter/sort and this does not do anything. I would like the records to stay in the order that they are entered at I also use this for a merge with a brochure/deposit letter and it is much simpler if I can merge a block of entries.
Many thanks in advance Pat.
Supposed I have the following tables:
TableMonthlyReport consists of the following fields:
*IDStore
*Year
*Month
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
Quantity
TableGoods:
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
ItemName
IDSupplier
The asterisks indicates the index keys. While TableMonthlyReport has 2 links of relationship with the TableGoods on IDCatalog and IDItem.
I have a data entry front end for monthly report. I have no problem to have the record source for this purpose.
I just need that the sort order of the item (in the front end) in a way that they could be managed differently on different period. For example, in March to April 2007 I want the items shown in the following order: A B C D ... While in May to August 2007 I want the items shown as B D A C ....
I tried to create an order table just like this:
TableGoodsOrder:
*IDCatalog
*IDItem
*ValidStart
ValidEnd
OrderItem
It is linked with the TableGoods on IDCatalog and IDItem.
The first order list (March - April 2007) will have the ValidStart of 703 and ValidEnd of 704. While the next order list will have the ValidStart of 705 and 708. The last 2 digits stand for the month, while the first digit is to indicate year.
The SQL query for the record source works but I can not enter any value. So, the idea of having a special table for sort order is not OK.
Can anybody give me a clue for the solution?
I have a table in MS Access with records including dates. The dates are date/time data type and formatted as short dates. They display properly in the table.
However, when I run a query (SQL shown below), it sorts the dates strangely.
Any ideas??
SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date') AS ChatDate, Sum(tblChat.TCT) AS SumOfTCT, Sum(tblChat.NC) AS SumOfNC
FROM tblChat
GROUP BY Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date')
ORDER BY Format$(tblChat.dtDate,'Short Date');
Here’s an example of the sort order in the query.
10/31/2005
11/1/2005
11/10/2005
11/11/2005
11/12/2005
11/14/2005
11/15/2005
11/16/2005
11/17/2005
11/18/2005
11/2/2005
11/21/2005
11/22/2005
11/23/2005
Is there a way to sort dates using "Decending" but have blank dates stay on top?
I have a listbox based on a qurery that displays all pending and completed jobs. The query sorts (Ascending) the "Job Complete" date. This conveniently puts all of the pending jobs with null values at the top of the list. The bad part is that this puts recently completed jobs at the very bottom of a (thankfully) long list. Is there a way around this?
Thank you!
Okay, here's my new dilema. I'm in the military and rank is one of the fields in my DB. The only issue I'm having is that I would like to sort by seniority, not alphabetically. For Example, I've listed a few ranks below in the correct order from greatest to least. Is there some way that doesn't involve a page of code to achieve this? Thanks.

I have a query that fills a report that I have in an Access 2000 database. This report needs to be sorted by the following:
Code:ORDER BY tblPrimaryDept.PDName, tblSubDept.SDName, tblKeyStrategy.KSID, tblKeyInitiative.KIID, tblKeyDeliverable.KDID, tblSubDeliverable.TargetDate, tblQuarters.QID;
It's working fine, but .... (There's always a but)
tblKeyStrategy.KSID can be null, so therefore, it is sorted by null records, then ascending order tblKeyStrategy.KSID. What they client wants is it to be sorted by tblKeyStrategy.KSID first, then the null value ones.
ie:
So as it stands it currently does this:
Finance
Finance
Finance 1
Finance 2
Now they want it to do this:
Finance 1
Finance 2
Finance
Finance
Is there any way this can be done? I've been looking, but haven't seen anything regarding this.
Thanks for any assistance you can give me on this.
Hello, I have created a crosstab query where I specify the order of Column Headings, however, I can't figure out how to specify the order of Row Headings. I only see that Microsoft Access offers the option to sort ascending vs. descending. I'd like to customize my sort order such as "Under 18" row first followed by "18-29" row and then "30-39" etc.
Any help you may provide would be great.

I have a form that shows multiple rows of linked/child records.The form in question is the "frmFilterNumberTypeView" form. When a particular filter is used (installed on an automobile), I would like to be able to click on the corresponding "Installed 1" button left of the filter number, so that by code, I can reduce the Qty on Hand by One, and insert the corresponding filter ID to the History table, along with the date/time the filter was used.
how to reduce the Qty on Hand, nor how to do the updates to the History table, I'll figure that out myself over the next week or two (hopefully it won't take that long). What I'm trying to figure out here is how I can associate the red "Installed 1" button with the filter to the right of whichever button I press.
how to sort the filter column on this same form. I'm fairly certain that this would be very easy to do if the subform in question was populated by means of a corresponding query, but I'm afraid that if I go that route that I'll spend another 20+ hours trying to figure out how to get the proper filter records to match the filter manufacturer, not to mention having to next figure out how to link the table so that if I modify any particular filter record, that I'll be able to have the associated table update accordingly.
Is it possible to sort the filter column without the subform record source being a query?
Hi all,
I'm quite new to access, and have a pretty straightforward problem (I hope):
I have a table with 300 records in 10 columns. I want to:
1. filter the data based on column A (gives me 150 visible records)
2. Copy from an excel spreadsheet which exactly matches the access table (single column only, 150 rows)
3. Paste into a new column I created in the access table
Unfortunately, when I hit paste in access, it loses the filter and pastes the data into the complete dataset (i.e. into the wrong records).
I've no idea why access won't keep the filter I set. I also tried numbering the records and sorting them based on this new column. Again, Access lost the sort order before pasting the data.
Help!
I really need to be able to paste my excel data into the table in access!
Can anyone shed some light for me?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?
the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.
all help is appreciated.:)
