View RepliesI have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
I have a main form with many subforms. Each subform has couple of ComboBoxes or/and TextBoxes. I want to make sure that end users dont miss completing any of required values. For example, in the subform (Clients), an end user is supposed to put either "Male" or "Female" in the (Gender) ComboBox. In another subform (Job Info), the end user will put info of the job like Wage, Employer, Date of Job Start... ete.
What I want is to get VB IF statement which tests if the textboxes "Wage", "Employer", and "Date of Job Start" in the subform (Job Info) are not null, then the CobmoBox "Gender" in the subform (Clients) should not be null too, with a warning message to complete the missing value.
I'm trying to build an expression where the form can only be saved if the field supervisor approval is not null.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a search form that has 8 criteria fields, of which the user can fill (from combo boxes and txt boxes) any number of them to narrow or widen the search.This by the way works perfectly. What I want to have is a message box pop up if the user does not enter any criteria and click search.
I tried stringing multiple if isnull statements together but realised that because I have an onload function that sets all fields to "" the isnull function won't work, so have changed this to the Len function.But when I run it, it just skips straight past the len line and opens the search detail form regardless. I suspect I have the order of things wrong, as it does not throw up any errors when run.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.PCNumberIn.Value = ""
Me.SerialNumberIn.Value = ""
Me.DeviceTypeIn.Value = ""
Me.DeviceModelIn.Value = ""
[code]...
Yes, another of my query troubles. I am running a query that is showing the number of demos booked, number of demos executed, then the percentage of demos executed. I have 2 demos that have 1 or 2 booked, but they have not been executed. They should show up in the query so I can get a percentage for them, but they do not. Here is my SQL:
SELECT [Promo count].PromoNo, [Promo count].[# of Demos], Count(Query6.Status) AS CountOfStatus, IIf([CountOfStatus]=0,0,[CountOfStatus]/[# of Demos]) AS Percentage
FROM [Promo count] INNER JOIN Query6 ON [Promo count].PromoNo = Query6.PromoNo
WHERE (((Query6.Status)="E"))
GROUP BY [Promo count].PromoNo, [Promo count].[# of Demos];
Anyone know what may be going on?
I have a multi-select listbox (called PotentialItems) which behaves perfectly unless one of the fields has a null value in it, in which case I get an error 13, "Type mismatch" in the following code. It is valid business-wise for column 9 to be null.
Code:
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim dblTargetPrice As Double
With Me.PotentialItems
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
If Not IsNull(varItem) Then
dblTargetPrice = Nz(.Column(9, varItem), 0) '<----- Error here
End If
Next
End With
It might be an easy one but I just wasted the past hour deciphering through my code in order to solve the run-time error '94' that I'm getting when trying to execute the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDates_Click()
'###################################
'This sub aims at combining the timesheet date and the start and end time into the fields [Start Time] and [End Time].
'###################################
Dim intCounter As Integer
intCounter = 0

I have a database with a code field which contains alfanumerical values like:
IB1, IB2, IB3...IB180, and so on.
When I sort the usual way A-->Z, I obtain:
IB1, IB10, IB100, IB101...IB109, IB11, IB110, IB111
How can I sort nicely to obtain IB1, IB2, IB3...
To complicate things, there are alfanumerical values with a different number of letters before the figures: like F1, F2... and SER1, SER2 and so on.
Is there any plugin to nicely sort those codes?
thanks in advance

I use a left join to join table A with table B. Table B has less matching records , so in the resulting table the field [RESULT] which comes from the table B has empty values.
If I use an expression for a new field PROCENT that involves [RESULT] I got #ERROR in all records with missing [RESULT] value. I tried various IF statements , but even IsError () function produces #ERROR.
It seems that ACCESS 2002 fails to detect missing values and gives an error for any operation. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Example
PROD_PERCENT: IIf([RESULT]>0,[RESULT]/[NETTO],0)
Hello People!
I am trying to create a new variable that will indicate whether a person has a family history of breast cancer (1=yes). The values for the 4 source variables are either the number 1 or are blank/missing ("no" was not captured). Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function fnBrCaFaHx(BrstAny, BrstMth, Brst1Sis, Brst2Sis As Byte) As Byte
' Determine if participant has a family history of breast cancer.
If BrstAny = 1 Or BrstMth = 1 Or Brst1Sis = 1 Or Brst2Sis = 1 Then
BrCaFaHx = 1
Else
Exit Function
End If
End Function

Please bear with me. I'm new to using access and plodding along little by little and I had little luck finding relavent past posts. I have a table with the column headings and a couple of records listed below. Each of those records has a subdatasheet pertaining to data for the commands. For every command, my dept does a survey or inspection every so many years. How often we do these surveys depends on the HAZ CAT. If the command has a HAZ CAT of I, they have a survey done every year. (HAZ CAT= II, every 2 years; HAZ CAT = III, every 4 years). On a form, I want to be able to generate the next serveral survey years (let's say for the next 10 years) based on the command's most recent survey year and its HAZ CAT. So for each command, there should be a listing of all its survey years. Then I want to be able to sort by year so I'll know what commands will need to be surveyed each year. I'll eventually have a form which will be my control panel. On the control panel will be command buttons labeled with years for the next 10 years. The button should open up a form with the records for the respective command information.
[CommandID] [Command] [HAZ CAT] [Last Recent Survey]

Hi All hope some one can help with this.
I have a sub for which is set to sort by ascending order for a given field which happens to be a text field with vales set something like abc1.1,abc1.2 ect. The problem is, is that when you get to abc1.10, and more these are then sorted as so
abc1.1
abc1.10
abc1.11
abc1.2
abc1.3
ect
How can I stop this and sort it:
abc1.1
abc1.2
abc1.3
.......
abc1.10
abc1.11
Thanks for any help with this

Below is a text file that we need to import from a POS system but the layout is not conducive to a typical database import. 2500 series of numbers are in the second field of the table and I would like to add that account number to the second field for each row and I would like to add the date 4 the field of each line but not sure how I would accomplish this.
" "|"25000.....0793"
" "|" "|"Name of city, R1"|"01/25/2014 17:31:43"|80079| 21.23|"BROCCOLI"| 0.00|"Client"|1
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"SALMON OSCAR"| 19.59|""|""
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"WATER"| 0.00|""|""
" "|" "|""|""|""|""|"WILD RICE"| 0.00|""|""
" "|" "|""|"01/25/2014 18:26:56"|30060| 26.02|"***AS APP***"| 0.00|"Server"|1
[code]....
I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?
Hi
I have inherited a database that contains details of staff training data and the tables contain the following:
Personal Information Table:
PersonalID
Surname
Forename
EmploymentStatus (this contains either Staff, Operative, or Supervisor)
Training Courses Table:
CourseID
Course Name
Course Description
Supervisor (Yes/No)
Operative (Yes/No)
Staff (Yes/No)
Training Courses Attended Table:
RecordID
PersonalID
CourseID
Date
Each of the courses in the Training Courses Table should be attended by one or more of the groups identified in the EmploymentStatus field (ie. Supervisor, Operative, Staff) and the relevant field in the Training Courses Table is flagged eg.
Training Courses Table:
CourseID, CourseName, Supervisor, Operative, Staff
100, basic safety, Yes, Yes, Yes
101, safety management, Yes, No, No
102, working with ladders, No, Yes, No
103, VDU, No, Yes, Yes
I need to identify which individuals have not attended the courses that they should have been completed (ie. compare courses attended with the list of courses associated with the EmploymentStatus associated with individual staff members, and identify which courses have no attendance dates).
How can I structure the query, I can't see how to do this with the existing tables, but I think it should be possible, but my Access expertise is just not good enough to work through this.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I've got a rapidly expanding database that I designed to do my quotes for work and now I'm trying to expand it to add up the invoice amounts when the jobs come to fruition. I've got 99% of it working well but as I'm not the only one entering data I'm trying to make it as foolproof as possible and here is my problem.
I have a multi-line textbox that receives 'vehicles' in an abbreviated format and I need to get them in order based on a sort column number in the appropriate table. This i can do but the code I have found removes the duplicates which I don't want as I can can two identical vehicles on the same job.
e.g
Vehicle Sort Order
UNT/FL 500
FL4/45 400
E7/F5 600
UNT/FL 500
I want as
FL4/45 400
UNT/FL 500
UNT/FL 500
E7/F5 600
I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table that stores information for multiple behavioral surveys (numerical values). My goal is to add the proper fields that compose total scores value for each respective survey (do a summation of scores). Now, under design view for my table, I see that I can add a calculated field. When I create this calculated field, I can use the Expression Builder to do a sum of the proper fields (the fields that compose a total score for a survey). The only problem that I'm encountering is that if a field that is part of a survey is missing information, the summation disregards the rest of the values for that survey.
How can I account for these missing values so that, if 1 out of my 9 fields have information, I will still get a summation score for the 9 fields? I want to be able to do this without having to change the value of the missing field to 0.
In SPSS I can easily do this by computing a variable and using a code like this:
SUM.2(field1, field2, field3, etc.)
I'm trying to make a report that a untrained user can use to review the relevant data from the database I'm creating. All of the work I've done so far has been directly in the tables . Here's a quick outline of my general data organization:
Department:
DepartmentID(PK)
DepartmentName
Employee:
EmployeeID(PK)
EmployeeName
DepartmentID(FK)
Needs_Work (check box)
[code]....
Basically, I want the user to select a department to view using a combo box or option group (which I'm not sure of how to do in a report). Then, I want to view the employees within that department sorted first by whether or not the Needs_Work check box is selected, and then by how many of their competencies are unchecked.
Easy one for the experts here I hope:
I want query to show all results including any null values because at the moment it just misses the null values out.
So for example instead of the query saying that Fruiterer A has 5 apples, 0 oranges and 4 bananas it just says that Fruiterer A has 5 apples and 4 bananas. Therefore because oranges was a null value then it simply makes no reference to oranges.
Please help, many thanks,

Hello,
I have two tables called table1 and table2 with following fields:
Table1:
Name
NameId
Table2:
Name
NameID
Visits
where name and nameid is same but visit can me 0 to 230. name in table2 is
same as table2 but only showing visit 1 or higher. How can I make new table that can list all name, nameId and visits.
I can create new table but it shows only table2's record. so all I need is
table1 and table2 record if names are missing in table2 then put 0.

Hi all
I have 3 linked tables in a vehicle database. 1 keeps a record of Service Due date, 1 has the Fleet numbers and the last contains Vehicle Condition reports.
They are linked by the Fleet numbers. I have a query that returns the Services due between 2 dates. What I would like is to have the same query return any outstanding Vehicle Condition items as well for any Vehicles due for servicing. Currently, I can include the field in the query but if there are no current items for a vehicle in the Vehicle Condition table then the query does not return that vehicle as a result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hope someone can help with this. I'm sure it's dead simple but it's driving me insane!
The scenario is a number of departments who are processing something (sales for example). So, for October
Dept 1 - 20 (Sales)
Dept 2 - 10
Dept 3 - 2
Dept 4 - 7
Now I want to count the number of sales completed from these totals. However, as Dept 3 has no sales completed for October it does not show in the query. So I get
Dept 1 - 7
Dept 2 - 2
Dept 4 - 6
Any idea how to get Dept 3 - 0 to show up in the query?
Any help greatly appreciated!
I've found several threads on this subject, but I still can't get it to work, so please forgive me if I seem to be duplicating a question.
I'm making a very simple db. It has only 2 tables:
MATERIAL (one)
TEST RESULTS (many) with left join.
I need to report average test results (by MATERIAL) weekly, even if there were no tests for a particular product that week, ie;
MATERIAL A = 100
MATERIAL B = 90
MATERIAL C =
MATERIAL D = 105
When I try to query, I only get results for A, B and D. It seems to be ignoring the MATERIAL table and looking only at the TEST RESULTS table.
I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking but how do I get C to show, even if it has no results.
Here's my query SQL.:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL, Avg([TEST RESULTS].V50) AS [Avg Of V50]
FROM [MATERIAL Query] LEFT JOIN [TEST RESULTS] ON [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL = [TEST RESULTS].MATERIAL
WHERE ((([TEST RESULTS].[TEST DATE]) Between [Forms]![Date Range Form]![Start Date] And [Forms]![Date Range Form]![END DATE]))
GROUP BY [MATERIAL Query].MATERIAL;
As always, thanks in advance.
