Function/Expression Quandary
Oct 9, 2004
Access 2002
I am building a form. In the form I have created a series of fields that successfully calculate the profit of a job. From [Profit] I am trying to configure a commission schedule which would be simple for me if the commissions were a set percentage. However there is a minimum involved and I am trying to use the IIf or Switch functions to distinguish between the values. I cannot seem to get it.
I am looking for the expression that would do this:
If the [Profit] is greater than 150, my field should calculate the amount x30% (.30). If less than 150 my field should show a value of $50.00.
I have tried many different variables in trying to write the expression but to no avail. Any advise/help would be greatly appreciated.

I have written a statement within a select query that modified the format of a date value:
Date of Birth: IIf([Date_Of_Birth]="00000000","",DateValue(Mid([Date_Of_Birth],7,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],5,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],1,4)))
But receive the error:
Undefined Function Mid in Expression
Can anyone help?

I created a function and when I try to use it in my query I am getting the error message Undefined Function in Expression.
This is the function:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function Next_Weekday(DateField As Date) As Date
If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 1 Then
Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 1
Else
If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 7 Then
Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 2
Else
Next_Weekday
End If
End Function
Any suggestions as to why it won't recognize it?
Thanks.

Hi Guys
Im not very good with SQL so any help would be appreciated, I used:
SELECT
(SELECT Count(*) FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) AS Bases,
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "D*" And ([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Not Like "DM*") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
(SELECT Count(*)FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) As Monitors,
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "DM**") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
Count(*) As Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]
WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "PR***") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0));
and all Im getting is "Undefined function WHERE in Expression" and im stuck,
What im trying to do is get a count based upon the results of the Like query, and i dont know where im going wrong.
If i use:
SELECT
Count(*) AS Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment] WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].[InternalID]) Like "PR***") And (([tbl_stock/equipment].[Sold])=0));
I get a count for that result, its just when i try and add multiple columns i get problems. Any Ideas???
Thanks

Below is the sql:

Please can someone put me out of my misery?:mad:

I'm trying to help someone with some text functions in Access, and I have used the Replace function to strip out spaces in a postcode. I created a dummy database in Access 2003 but in 2000 format since she is still on Access 2000. However, she is getting the above message. Incidentally, I don't get the message when I run it in Access 2000.
She has checked her references and has no missing ones. She has:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
I have attached the DB - I'd be really grateful if someone could try opening it in Access 2000 to see if they get the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks

Hello first time poster :)
My boss recently moved a DB from one server location to another and now it is no longer working properly. Please bare with me, I am not very knowledgable of Access and am primarily an oopl coder. I am using Access 97 in an XP.
The database is comprised of 6 files: Service_Request.mde/mdb, Common_Code.mda/mdb/mde, and default.mde. Service_Request.mde/mdb both reference Common_Code.mde and default.mde.
Service_Request has a login screen when you first start it up caused (I assume) by a macro that makes the call: login("frm_requestlist"). A prompt appears where i can enter a user name and login but when I click ok it crashes about 1 minute later with the 'Undefined function 'BuildCustomerName' in expression' error. I can bypass the login with the Shift+F11 shortcut but all of the forms crash when I double click them.
The function 'BuildCustomerName' is located in Common_Code in the module 'Library'. However, I looked through the code in Service_Request and Common_Code and except for its definition, I cannot find a call to it anywhere. Service_Request does make calls to a few other functions in Common_Code, but I am unable to tell if they are working or not.
I have checked the references for Service_Request with a reference wizard and as far as I can tell they seem correct. It references both Common_Code and default in their current locations on the server. However, even if they were incorrect I cant figure out how to change them with my current resources.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as would tips on how to step code cause I havent been able to figure that out either.
Thank you

I have a database functioning pretty well.
All I did was move the files from one computer to another via USB stick and now I get this alarm when I try to run this particular macro.
It is a macro to set a value to specific field.
The Macro uses a condition [Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Number]="000".
If the condition is met then it is supposed to set a value to a field in the same form.
[Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Descrption] is the item to set.
Left("TV Parity Alarm",50) is the expression.
So if 000 is entered in then the text TV Parity Alarm is filled into the Alarm description field.
It was working perfect until I moved the files to another computer.
I have Office SP2 installed and have updated office with everything available.
Please help.
Thanks

I have got a problem on one of our computers.
We use Microsoft Access databases to enter test data and eventually generate reports.
On 1 computers i get the following error when opening the report:
"Function is not available in expressions in query expression 'Left(.....)"
I figured this is a reference problem so the next thing i did was to pinpoint what reference was causing this error.
It turns out it is the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library. Simply removing the reference and adding it again fixes it and allows you to open reports just fine.
The problem is though, this message comes back every now and then. Which is getting annoying and the person who is making the reports is about to throw his computer out of the window.

I have a size as 1/4,2/3,4/9 etc to be converted to ABC,DEF,GHI etc . i have nearly 40 entries so i think choose statement would do it .. moreover i cant find switch statement in expression builder .......
For example one could be to replace the text ..... or any other method to change the size to alphabetical grade.

I'm relavtively new to databases but after a steep learning curve (being left with many databases created by my old manager with no instructions on use) I'm getting there.What I am trying to do is pull out the date from records in a field called "Model_ID". The Model_ID field contains this kind of information:
Endscopy20120726JSmith
GISurgery20120521JDoe
I want to bring back "20120726" or "20120521". In excel I can do this with the mid and find functions but find doesn't work in access. I've tried combining the mid function with instr function but it comes back as too complex!

I have a query that will be assisting me find pricing based upon quantity ranges of specific equipment for a given FY.
I'm no access expert, and I keep getting "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression...as part of an aggregate function".
I have tried several things, but cannot seem to figure this one out.
The SQL of my query is as follows:
SELECT IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
Between 1 And 4,[04b Pricing Products]![01-04],IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+
Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
Between 5 And 10,[04b Pricing Products]![05-10],
IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
[Code] .....

I have someone using my database as an mde, using the 2003 runtime, on a computer that has XP with Office 2007 (including Access 2007). Eveything works fine, except they get error 3085 on a line of code that is running an Insert SQL statement.
What is weird is that the SQL statement does not include the nz function. It does include a simple UDF for rounding, but that UDF doesn't return an error.
I also have code that checks the references on startup, and none of them are coming up as missing or broken. I have also double checked each reference and they have the exact same version number of every reference (dao360.dll, mscomctl.ocx, etc.). So if it is a "diambiguation" issue, I don't know how to fix it, or even identify it.
The code runs on several other computers with various combinations of XP, Vista, Office 2003, and Office 2007 with no problems.
I am stumped. What else could cause this error? Even if you don't really know, but you have a vague idea, please post it because I can't even think of anything else to investigate at this point.:confused:

I create e field with calculation expression and I need to round the results. I insert the following expression:
Round(IIf([A]="N";0;(IIf([B]>0;([B]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]);([H]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]))));2)
I have back the following error message: Could not find field 'Round'.
I do not understand why, because Round is not a field, but a function.

I need to clean up data from text file which is huge.
I wonder if Access Expression Builder can mirroring "IF function" from Excel Here is what i am trying to do The data consist of multiple customer and multiple date. But the layout only specified customer ID once eg.
CustID: aaaa
Date
01012013
02012013
03012013
CustID: bbbb
01012013
02012013
When exported the file I used Fixed Width command to separate Date Column and Cust ID column.
Below is the result that I am looking for
CustID: aaaa : aaaa
Date : aaaa
01012013 : aaaa
02012013 : aaaa
03012013 : aaaa
CustID: bbbb : bbbb
01012013 : bbbb
02012013 : bbbb
1. Column A is Date
2. Column B is Customer ID
because Customer ID in column B only appear once, I need to create another column to populate that Customer ID whenever the transaction related with that Customer
3. Column C is the column where i tried to populate Customer ID to each date related to that Customer.
If I worked in excel the formula will be --> IF(AND(C5="",B6=""),"",IF(AND(C5="",B6<>""),B6,IF( B6<>"",B6,C5)))but in access i am stucked.

I have this linked table query from a OBDC and I need to be able to filter out specific dates in that query. The dates in the table were in text format and I converted the dates using the CDate function. I wanted to filter the query to a single date and always I get the Datatype mismatch in criteria expression error.
However, filtering dates does work only when there are other specifications in the criteria fields (e.g. if I specify a date and and name). My SQL code in error looks like this:
SELECT
purch_hist.PUITM AS ITEM,
purch_hist.PUPO AS PO,
purch_hist.PUQTY AS QTY_RECEIVED,
CDate([purch_hist.PURDT]) AS RECEIPT_DATE,
itmcnt.ITBYR AS BUYER,
purch_hist.PUCST AS UNIT_COST,
vendor.NVNO AS VENDOR NO,
[code]...
This query works fine with a non converted date field, however the dates I need are in text format and need to be converted since I do not have permissions to edit the tables.

I have a project at hand and it's been a predecessor of mine and client has asked me to do some work on it and extend functionality - but I have not really delved into Access before and I have had to worked my way through to this final snag :/
The Main Form has one sub form. This sub form allows the user to add multiple order items i.e. qty, stock, description from records within the system - fairly straight forward.At the last column of each row is the sub total of those particular items i.e.
Qty Unit | Item ID | Total
-----------------------
2 | 1234 | 80.00
------------------------
1 | 43526 | 20.00
------------------------
> | |
So the total is a function of =[Qty Unit] * [Unit Price].Then in the Footer of this SubForm is the Sub Total
=SUM([Qty Unit] * [Unit Price])
All fine and well..... However, the additional functionality kicks in.
Lets add the additional customer_id from the Main Form. Each Item bought is dependent on the customer_id i.e. they get special prices depending on who they are.So a New table is made which has the Item ID and SpecialPriceID (of a table to define as a specialPrice) and the Price linked to this Item and Special Price category. So say that there are two groups of users "wholesale" and "nonwholesale" these would be SP_1 and SP_2 and each client is defined either one of these, and each stock item has a Price for each SP_1 and SP_2. Hopefully I've explained myself there.
Back to the SubForm. So now the Total needs to calculated differently with needed the external customer_id from the Main Form.
Code:
Function CalculateSpecialPrice(ItemID As String, CustomerID As String, Unit As Integer)
Dim SPSelect As String
SPSelect = "SELECT Price FROM [Items_SpecialPrices] WHERE"
SPSelect = SPSelect & " ItemID = '" & ItemID
SPSelect = SPSelect & "' AND SpecialPriceID = (SELECT SpecialPriceID FROM Customers WHERE customer_id = " & CustomerID & ") "
[code]....
its the sub total I just keep on getting #Error on. I have even watched (using alerts) that the correct return variable is the same as the individual rows. This is the equation I used for the SubTotal within the footer.
=SUM(CalculateSpecialPrice([Item ID], [Form]![FormName]![CustomerID], [Qty Unit]))
#Error

Hi all,
I need a little help. In my DB, I have a command button set up (I was tired of typing in dates) for date, but I used the Now function, which also gives me the time.
Now I have over 3000 subrecords of the main ones. I now need to queries transaction for that specific date, but it also retrieves the time.
I tried to go back and change the NOW to DATE in VB, but the code does not run.
How do I change all records that have date and time (using NOW function) and only click that command button to show only the date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Thanks in advance.
