General Question - Uneditable Query Results
Jun 4, 2007
This is a very general question, but a problem that I hit repeatedly in my low level database work - I am not trained in databases at all, but have to use them to get on.
I find that when basing forms on select queries that are stacked on each other - (ie one query shows the results of two tables, that query then is joined to another table in another query and so on) that at some stage the query results become uneditable.
I cannot see why this happens. Is there a simple database rule that I am not adhering to here? Is there a maximum number of tables that can be joined in queries and form the basis of editable datasets in form view.
Sorry for vagueness!

I have a query that pulls up the sum of records that holkd a date value between two dates, and groups them by the person that created them.
How can I show these results in a graph? that will update every time a user clicks a buttons (as they may wish to change the two dates to search between)...

I have a report that displays the results of a query. The query and the report are both run from a submit button on a form. I use DoCmd.OpenQuery "name", followed by DoCmd.OpenReport "name". Due to slow network connection the query shows up before the form is displayed. I would like the query to be hidden or minimised. In other words, I do not want the user to see the results of the query, only the report.

Hi,
I have an bound textbox, what I want is that when the user selects a value from the combobox, he should not be able to edit it afterwards or as a mater of fact before the selection of the values(Uneditable combobox).
Does anyone have an idea??

I've got a form with a combo box where I choose an employee and according to that employee's attributes are shown. Some of the attributes are stored in the same table with employee names, some of it is connected by foreign key to other tables. This form is not editable, information only. I've got a button "Edit employee" which opens another form intended to edit the information. I put text fields there by dragging the fields from tables. And so, for some reason, the only editable fields in that form are those connected by foreign key to the main table, but the main table fields are all not editable and error "not in dataset" comes up.

I have a query:
Code:
SELECT purchaseOrder.poId, purchaseOrder.poYear, purchaseOrder.poDate, purchaseOrder.userId, purchaseOrder.currencyId, purchaseOrder.poSendDate, partnerDetails.name
FROM purchaseOrder INNER JOIN (orderDetails INNER JOIN partnerDetails ON orderDetails.partnerDetailsId = partnerDetails.partnerDetailsId) ON Cstr(Format(purchaseOrder.poId,"00000")) = Nz(MID(orderDetails.poNo,6,5),"0");
Simple join query gives dup entries also, i need in single entry.When using Distinct query for the form control source, the record is uneditable, can i get the records without dups.

I'm just starting out to learn SharePoint, which I utterly hate thus far but anyway. So I have successfully linked to the sharepoint list in my DB, but I cannot edit any values for some reason. I can edit them in sharepoint and both systems update, but when I type in ANY box in access I get "Invalid arguement" error.... also note the new record button near the record navigators is greyed out so I can't add a record either.
I noticed that my library user group has URL... set to Read while all others are set to full control... is this the cause or something else?

I have a results database that collates information that is collected monthly over numerous locations. It's a temperature result. What I want to be able to do is count the excursions. So temperatures greater than 30 for instance is a fail....29 and below is a pass. I have 14 results per location. How I can summarize this?

I have created a table with name "Main". It consists of fields ID, Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published.
I have created a form named "MFORM" with text boxes Author, Title, Abstract, Page and Published,and then I created a search and clear parameters buttons below the text box.
Then I dragged my Search Query into the bottom of my form MFORM and named it as "All Results".
When I click on search then the results are displayed in the new tab instead of bottom of my main form in Search query.
If I enter author name as Mike and then click on search button then results should display all the details related to Mike on the bottom of my form.
All Results [At the Bottom of my page]
Should display all the details related to Mike.
I had attached my database. I just need the search results at the bottom of my main form in stead of displaying in new tab.

I am trying to create a query that filters results only outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean. Is there an option for this in the criteria spot? I'm fairly new to Access and I'm not sure if I can reference a particular cell in the criteria.

I have created a from which consists of search boxes in the above and the table in the below.
If we search for any in those search boxes then the results will be displayed at the bottom (The results will be displayed in the table which is located at the bottom of the page)

My Requirement :
If I click on any of the row in the results table then is it possible to display only the selected row in a new form????
If I search for a keyword MS in a search box and if it returns 40 results and if I click on any one of the result then the selected result should be opened in a new form.
Attached is my file...

I'm creating an item look-up form with 2 criteria that I wan't to auto-filter as the user types. I'm placing my code in the Change event of the textbox, and only calling the .text for the current textbox (.value or no property at all for the other). The filter works smoothly and as intended until it returns no results in my table, and then it pops me with the error. I've tried forcing focus to the textbox in different places throughout the code, but to no avail. If I use the .value or no property for the current textbox, I'm not getting the CURRENT text, but the old text before it was changed, so the filter doesn't work properly.
Private Sub txtVendor_Change()
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.Filter = _
"((strSearchVendor Like '*" & Me.txtVendor.Text & "*' AND strSearchItem LIKE '*" & Me.txtPartNum & "*'))"
Me.txtVendor.SelStart = Len(Me.txtVendor.Text)
End Sub
It usually pops the error on the last line "Len(Me.txtVendor.Text)", but I've had it do it on the Me.Filter line as well (only when debugging and messing with next statement placement).

Im trying to work out the best way to combine results from a table. Not knowing the correct terminology I didn't want to post in a specific section of the forum until its clear in my head.So I have a query currently which shows the entries into my database for example (these aren't the column names precisely as I know some are reserved words its just to demonstrate):
UserA - Hours - Date - ProjectA
UserB - Hours - Date - ProjectA
UserA - Hours - Date - ProjectB
UserA - Hours - Date - ProjectB
UserB - Hours - Date - ProjectA
UserA - Hours - Date - ProjectA
What I am trying to do is combine UserA's entries with ProjectA and UserA's entries with ProjectB (seperatly) and UserB's with ProjectA and UserB with Project B (again seperatly).So the end result would show a total of User A's hours on Project A and separately ProjectB and the same for UserB.

I have a main form which displays the results in the subform.
My requirement :
I have 1 main form and 2 subforms in that form.
I just wanted to have a get focus function on my 1st subform and needs to display the focusing result in the next 2nd subform.
In Detail :
I had a main form of search boxes Author, Published, title
If you search for 1999 in published text box then it will display all the results whose published year is 1999 along with those respective Author and Title in the 1st subform
In the result 1st subform if an ID is selected by the cursor then that entire row needs to be displayed in the next 2nd subform (As of now I wanted only 2 column details of the focussed result).
1st subform needs to display all the searched results (It was done and it works fine)
2nd subform needs to display the selected results (On Focus) of 1st subform.
How to deal with the 2nd subform linking up with the 1st subform.
Attached is the file.

I have created a 6 search boxes with names Author, Published, Language, Title, Keywords and University. If I enter "A" in Author search field then it should return all the 6 fields which contains "A" in Author field. It worked well.
My Requirement :
The column published is the year. In search box of Published if I search for 2000 then it's returning all the 6 fields which contains "2000" in Published field.
But most of the people doesn't know the exact year in which the book is published so they need some favour like, If they search for 2000-2010 in Published field then it should return all the fields which are between 2000-2010 in the published field.
For this do I need to create 2 extra text boxes and name them as Starting year and Ending Year? or else we can achieve this in single text box as xxxx-xxxx?

I wish to extract data from my access database...namely all packages we are taking to the post office for dispatch that day. The post office form looks like this...
I need to extract the name the address & postal service used (this data is all contained in our access database. I envisage using a 'flag' to trap those orders that haven't been posted yet (in other words export only those database entries that have not been flagged as posted, then afterwards update the database to change the flag to 'posted')
My dilemma is that I've not really used reports much (I'm assuming that reports is the correct way to go here)...how do you format the output of a report, when you don't know how many lines are going result (some days might see 10 order, other days 20 ...and so on)...

I have a report with quite a few subreports in it. There are a number of calculated fields on the form, most of which use Dlookup to retrieve at least one of the figures required for the calculation. The Dlookup runs fine and the report opens but the calculated fields are devoid of data in Report view. When I switch to Print Preview view the fields are now populated. Below are two variations of the DLookup syntax I have used to try and alleviate this issue.
=DLookUp("[8]","qry_MonthlyTotalsByYearFirstAid","[ActivityType] = 'First Aid Injury (FAC) Reported in Safeguard'")/[sub_AllHours].[Report].[8]
=DLookUp("[8]","qry_MonthlyTotalsByYearFirstAid","[ActivityType] = 'First Aid Injury (FAC) Reported in Safeguard'")/[Reports]![rpt_AllFigures]![sub_AllHours]![8]
Note that the field [8] specified here is simply a month number and forms a column in the crosstab query for the corresponding query name.
I would add the query referred to in the DLookup to the source query for the report but the source report's data is derived from a Crosstab query, which only accepts one data field (Access terms this as the value field.

I have after much stress gotten my comments history field to appear on a form.
The following code gives me what I needed
Code:
=ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"LastUpdateBy","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))
I have only one simple thing left, that is perplexing to say the least.
Some comment fields will be many short notes, spread over time.
My desire is to change the sort order of the results so the most recent (rather than the initial) comment is at the top.

I am trying to do the good 'ol sales report (query) to include customers with no sales.
I have a customers table, account number table, sales table & sales (line) detail table. (all linked in that order)
If I run a query to show customers (in the customer table) with account numbers, that works
An unmatched query to show customer without an account number works (but of course the unmatched account number field isn't shown).
How can I get the two two be shown together with the "unmatched" having a null or 0 for their account number?
I am guessing in principle, the resulting solution can be modified to show customers without sales alongside those with sales?
