Hi all im new to this and im trying to make a from that will display a sub from containg infomation that can be changed by altering a combo box.
im not sure if its possible but i want to have the combo box containing names of people and then the sub form to display records that relate just to the selected person. and when the combobox's selection changes so does the displayed data.
i don't know if its possible to make a dynamic query that will take the text value in the combo box and use it in a query to query the data i have. and then produce just the data corisponding to one person. :eek: :confused:
ANY HELP on this would be greatly appreaceated. i have a feeling thatis simple but i have been pulling my hair out trying to find out how to do it. :confused:
sorry for the repeating of a previous thread but i have looked at all of the replys on the first combo box controlled query and have followed what was reccomended but i still have some problems. :(
i have three combo boxes and i want to query a single table with the selected combo options.
atm i am using the criteria part of a query to filter the results by the combo box [forms]![Form1]![cboStaff]
this works well for one thing but when i want two i have put them in line which means AND so both combo boxes have to have a value in and then the query looks for combo box ones value with combobox 2's value.
is there any way i can make the value in the second combo box mean any result. which would effectivly turn the query into a search for just the first criteria set by the combo box???
please help i have been going round in circles trying to figure out how i am going to do this :confused:
I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.
i.e. Field 1 = combo box one field 2= combo box two field three = combo box three, four or five.
i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...
I have a word 2010 reports that is linked to an access 2010 form. SQL is used to populate the report with some of the fields from the form. Is it possible to create a combo-box with two selections (Mike, Paul) in it. And then have two other fields populate based on the selection in that combo-box? For example, if Mike is selected then an Address: and Phone Number: fields are filled in with his information. And if Paul is selected his information fills in.
I've created a rather simple Access program that I use to import an employee's cookie summary txt file. I then sort the cookies for 1) time of day, and 2) appropriateness.
I found a way to create the queries - in simple design mode using criteria - but I want system administrators in other offices to be able to enter the time of day variables particular to their offices. Same with appropriate words. So I want a form they can use to do that - eg, list their office's break times. In essence, a setup page. Then the resulting queries (time of day and word list) will be customized to the particulars of that office rather than to mine.
Would appreciate some ideas on how to do this. Should I read up on SQL? Should I learn VBA? I'm trying to get around having to tell the other system administrators to go into each query and change the criteria manually.
I am currently trying to figure out how to limit the entries into a nested sub form to just one.
for example im making wine collection database, I have a PURCHASE table, a WINE table containing the FK of the PURCHASE PK, and an INVENTORY contain the FK of the WINE PK.
a purchase can contain many wines, but one wine can only be in one inventory location.
I am trying to add all this information with one form. I fill out the purchase details, enter the info of X bottles of wine were in the purchase, and then with one of those wines selected in their subform, i enter the inventory details for that wine. I go select the next wine in the first subform and the inventory nested subform doesnt allow another entry.
I have this code loaded into the On Current event for the main form:
Private Sub Form_Current() With Me![INVENTORY Subform].Form If .Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then .AllowAdditions = True
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
I have four fields that typically have a quantity amount in them.
I also have a field with a date.
I would like to say something like this
If fielda = 0 and fieldb = 0 and field = 0 and fieldd = 0 and in the date field, the date is >30day from today’s date add a 1 to this field, otherwise leave it blank
I have been doing some experimentation with Queries and I have discovered something unusual.
If I have one query and I use the totals feature (only using group by) I get all the records based on the inputed criteria
If I then use that same query as an underlying recordset for a second query and I use the totals feature (only using group by) in the second query... I only get the first record of each type. See query results below..
I am trying to achieve the results of the second query in the first query (DON'T WANT NESTED Queries) and I don't really understand why the results of the queries are different when everything else is the same other than one being nested.
Example below
First Query Results (using totals with group by)
1 a 1 a 1 a 2 a 2 a 2 a 3 a 3 a 3 a 4 a 4 a 5 a
Second Query Results with the First query as its recordset (using Group By)
SELECT * FROM ((TBL_Properties INNER JOIN TBL_Property_Landlords ON TBL_Properties.Property_ID=TBL_Property_Landlords. Property_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Landlords ON TBL_Property_Landlords.Landlord_ID=TBL_Landlords.L andlord_ID) INNER JOIN TBL_Agents ON TBL_Properties.Agent_ID=TBL_Agents.Agent_ID;
so far. But I need to join the results from another query which will be calculating SUM(Pay). Is it possible to INNER JOIN to a: (SELECT ....) nested query?
hi guys, i have this sql that filters 2 tables to give me the highest number against a record and then i want to update the 1st table. but it dosnt seam to work it brings back the correct data but the sql has generated a non-updatable query.
any ideas?
UPDATE [SELECT ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber, Max(ARCtblHistory.Status) AS MaxOfStatus FROM ARCtblErrorInfo LEFT JOIN ARCtblHistory ON ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber = ARCtblHistory.Uber WHERE (((ARCtblErrorInfo.Status)=121)) GROUP BY ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber]. AS test INNER JOIN ARCtblErrorInfo ON test.Uber = ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber SET ARCtblErrorInfo.Status = [test].[MaxOfStatus];
I have done smoe baisc queries to sort, filter and report on data.How do I create a nested query where I don't repeat all the information across the query results line? Is there a way I can build a nested query to give all the SMCode codes associated with each appointment in one column separated by a coma?I have a table with appointments (APPTS):
RecID ADate ATime Durantion PVID Desc Case#
Then I have a table with Orders related to these appointments (ORDERS):
RecID Case# SMCode SMDate
Here's my query:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Appts.RecID, Appts.ADate, Appts.ATime, Appts.Durantion, Appts.PVID, Appts.Desc, Orders.SMCode FROM Appts INNER JOIN Orders ON Appts.[Case#] = Orders.[Case#];
I need to use DMax to open the form on the last record based on the serial number. This code is what I have to open the form currently, but I want only the latest record related to the serial number:
I have different product groups and they can have one of 3 rental rates(5,4,3%) I have written a nested query but I keep getting parenthesis errors, the last one I got told me I must enclose iif functions in parentheses. I know its probably a small thing but I just cant see it. By the way the server is German so ; need to be used instead of ,.
IIf([view_India]![Sub_Group] In (1730;1810;2870);5;iif Left([view_India]![Sub_Group];2) In (01;02;21;24;29) ;5;iif([view_India]![Sub_Group] In (3310;3330;3340;3360);3;4))))
I have made this sql statement in VBA where rubriek = a variable but I dont know how to implement a variable in a nested query.
SELECT "rubriek, SUM(verkoopprijs) as prijzen FROM voorwerp (inner join VoorwerpInRubriek on voorwerp.voorwerpnummer = VoorwerpInRubriek.voorwerp) inner join Rubriek on rubriek.rubrieknummer = VoorwerpInRubriek.rubriekOpLaagsteNiveau where rubriek in (select rubrieknummer from rubriek where rubriek = variable name ) group by rubriek"
Do I have to treat it as a normal select query or is there something speical that I have to do ?
First, thanks to all that have helped me with out even knowing it! This forum is a lifesaver.
Problem: I have a control button that, through macro commands that seem to be working, changes a field value from locked=no to locked=yes. This macro control also changes the enabled setting to = false.
When I save and exit the form, upon reopening, the above cell value is not saved. Is there a simple fix for a simple-minded person?
The situation is I have two queries, one uses the other as a source, and the other uses DSUM with the source query as it's domain.
For example: I have one query called RetailCDState, this prompts the user for the name of a state (i.e. Texas), and then prompts for the name of the CD (i.e. Joshua Tree). The query returns the number of CD's sold for each retail store entered for that state.
I have another query called, TotalRetailState. This query uses RetailCDState as it's source. I pull some fields down into the QBE so that the CDname, state, artist name, etc will be shown. This works.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. I have created 3 expression fields: TotalCDSOLD, TotalCDSHIP, and TotalCDRETURN. In these expression fields I have used DSUM, I want to use the query RetailCDState as the domain, which the help files said I can. However, it's giving me an expression error saying that it can't find the 'state' or 'CD Name', which is what should prompt the user when the whole thing is executed.
I get 3 error messages, one for each expression field, and then it prompts the user for the correct input, but then doesn't display the information. Here is an example of my DSUM line TotalCDSHIP: DSUM("[NumofCDSold]","RetailCDState")
I shouldn't need any criteria, because the results of the RetailCDState is what I want to total.
I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
What is the best approach to returning calculated results in a query. I have been using nested IIf statements that include DateAdd but I think that I am at a point where there must be a better way.
I want my query to calculate a date based on: 1) A Type field from my table 2) A calculated date based on other query fields.
My query has the following fields: [Type] [Action 1] [Projected Action 1] [Projected Action 1 Revised] [Action 2]
I want to create a calculated field for [Projected Action 2] that says:
If [Type] is "A" then if [Action 2] Is NotNull, Null if [Action 1] is NotNull, [Action 1] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1 Revised] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1 Revised] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1] + 10 workdays
[Code] ....
I would like to keep using nested IIf but I keep running into problems and I thought that there is probably a better way.
I have a form in my Access database that has 3 input boxes by which a user can locate a record by. The problem I am running into is that I can not get a nested IF statement to work properly to first check which of the search boxes are filled in and second search by whichever is filled in. I have come up with the following code that seems to be only searching by the first input box. If the first input box is blank it does not move to the second or third numbers so I imagine there may be something wrong with the order of my IF statement or the syntax is off.
I have three tables, tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicles. I have a form called frmPeople that shows a single person record, and has subforms with the list of addresses and vehicles for that person (each record has several). I want to create a single search form with each of the fields in my tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicle tables, and allow the user to type anything into any of the fields on the search form, and have the search form fetch records that match.
So far, I have the query built, and the tables all linked the right way (I think), and I have all the search fields coded. And it works GREAT... except for this one little issue: If I do a search, and I put "Smith" in the last name field, I will get several Smiths in my search result, one for each address and vehicle combination. In other words, if I have ONE Smith in the table, and two vehicles and two addresses for that Smith, the query results give me FOUR Smiths! One with Vehicle1 and Address1, one with Vehicle2 and Address1, one with Vehicle1 and Address2, and one with Vehicle2 and Address2.
What I would LIKE is to have ONE record in the query results, and that record shows me that one Smith. And if I then search for "Plymouth" in the VehicleType field, and I have Smith in the name field, I'll get ONE record, and it will be the one of Smith with his Plymouth (Vehicle2).
Here is how my query looks right now (this one ONLY has the last name and vehicle search function to save space), and this is the one that gives me multiple results (which I do NOT want, unless multiple PEOPLE match the search criteria):
Code: SELECT DISTINCTROW tblPeople.LastName, tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.PersonID, tblAddresses.Address, tblVehicles.Vehicle, tblVehicles.Plate, tblVehicles.VehicleYear FROM tblPeople LEFT JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.PersonID = tblAddresses.PersonID WHERE (((tblPeople.LastName) Like "*" & [NameField] & "*") AND ((tblVehicles.Vehicle) Like "*" & [VehicleField]));
Some essential background first. I have a Balances table which records balances by date. I also have an Issues table where problems are logged. There is a one-to-many relationship between Balances and Issues (i.e. each Balance can have multiple Issues). I also have a Comments table where updates for each Issue are recorded. There is again a one-to-many relationship between Issues and Comments (i.e. each Issue can have multiple Comments)
There are two key date fields in the Issues table :FlagDate (the date an Issue was flagged by a user for investigation)
ResolveDate (the date said investigation was brought to a conclusion)
There is also a date field in the Comments table :UpdatedWhen (the date any given comment was added)
So the basic flow is that an Issue gets flagged (FlagDate), then various comments are added (multiple UpdatedWhen's) and finally the Issue gets resolved (ResolveDate)
I need to incorporate a trend graph which will show the counts ofNew (i.e. new issues flagged as of each day) Cleared (i.e. issues resolved each day)
Updated (i.e. issues not yet resolved but updated each day)
Unchanged (i.e. issues not yet resolved and not updated each day)
Outstanding (i.e. all unresolved issues as of each day)
This is the SQL I've put together to get that table of information on which to base my chart :
Code: SELECT [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] AS AsOfDate, (SELECT COUNT([tblIssues].[IssueID]) FROM [tblIssues] WHERE [tblIssues].[Flag] = True AND [tblIssues].[FlagDate] = [tblBalances].[BalanceDate]) AS New,
[Code] .....
The subqueries for 'New', 'Cleared' and 'Outstanding' work perfectly; the resultant dataset gives me one record for each date in the Balance table and correctly counts the number of issues falling into each of those buckets.
The problem I have is with the 'Updated' bucket. If a flagged issue happens to be updated twice on the same day (which is perfectly acceptable), it counts this twice as well. I don't want this as I just want to know how many issues were updated on any given day - not how many updates there were.
I tried using COUNT(DISTINCT) in the 'Updated' subquery but it gives me a syntax error - on further research, I don't think it's possible to use the DISTINCT keyword in a COUNT subquery (at least not easily)
I also tried grouping by IssueID within that 'Updated' subquery but it still gives me the duplicate count within the same IssueID (and returns nulls rather than zeroes for those days where no updates occured)
I think I need to add a subquery within the subquery () to only return the latest comment as of the date in question - something along the lines of :
Code: (SELECT TOP 1 [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] FROM [tblComments] WHERE [tblComments].[IssueID] = [tblIssues].[IssueID] AND DateValue([tblComments].[UpdatedWhen]) <= [tblBalances].[BalanceDate] ORDER BY [tblComments].[UpdatedWhen] DESC) AS UpdatedWhen
But how to do this, nor if it is even feasible in Access to begin with.
