Get Input For Parameter Query From A Form
Jul 23, 2006
I am not a programmer and I don't know VBA/VB.
I am using this as a workaround to avoid VBA functions (since I don't know them).
I can't seem to find a simple? solution to this.
I have a query that does a radial search in decimal degrees. I have created an unbound form as a dialogue box that converts degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees and displays the results in a calculated text box. What I want to do is have the query take the results in the calculated text box as its parameters (along with a third parameter- distance) without prompting the user. How do I get the query to take its results from the fields on the form? I have tried Like [Forms]![frmName]![SearchValue], but I can't seem to make it work.

I have a table which holds information on audits that have been carried out on staff member's actions. The 'Supervisor' field is populated via a combo box which is linked to a separate table (tblSupervisors).
I am now trying to build a query to allow me to extract all audits that have been carried out on a specific supervisor - rather than the criteria to be [Enter Supervisor Name] and allowing text entry, I thought it would be better to have form that pops up with a combo box that is used to select the supervisor (from tblSupervisors);
So far:
- Form "Supervisor_Select" is created, and has a combo box that looks up from tblSupervisors
- Macros as specified in the instructions are created (Open Dialog, Close Dialog, OK and Cancel)
- Query is done, all bar the criteria expression on the desired field.
- Module is created as described in the instructions, and is called "Supervisor_Select"
I have tried putting the following in the criteria;
[Forms]![Supervisor_Select]![cboSupervisor], however I think I am missing the bit where the query opens the "Supervisor_Select" form?? Will this only work from a button where the on click event runs the 'Open Dialog' macro and then runs the query?

I'm using an Excel spreadsheet that is importing external data from an access database in which I've got a field where the name of a person checking materials out is entered. it is currently set up, and I cannot change it, as a free form field. So folks enter information in a variety of ways.
For example, Larry Martin might be entered as "Larry Martin" or "Martin, Larry" or "larry.martin@somewhere.com". I'm trying to run a query that would look in that field for any entry with the string I enter, such as "Martin."
I've tried setting the criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Which Last Name] & "*"
However, when I try and run the query I get a message telling me the system is expecting two parameters.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've been banging my head against this for awhile now and am thoroughly stumped! All assistance, as usual, is greatly appreciated!

I have a report that has an underlying query that asks for Start Date and End Date.
Is there anyway that I can get what the user inputs into the box to be put into the Page header of the report?
ie: user enters into the parameters
[Start Date] 01/01/2006
[End Date] 04/04/2006
Then when the report displays it says
Report for the period 01/01/2006 to 04/04/2006
Thank you for your time

Hi:
In MS Access:
In the query:
I set a input parameter: [Please enter the date:]
I run it, enter a parameter. The results come out, it is correct.
And then I sort the ascending order of the Vendor Name.
And close the query.
Second time, I run it, It give out 2 times [Please enter the date:]
I need to enter twice input. Why?
How can I solve it?
Please let me know, thanks.

Please can someone tell me how to go about adding to the code below. Currently the user enters the date criteria in a form. This works great and the data is exported to excel. But I can't seem to figure out how to get the input from the user to also be exported to Cell A1 in excel. Example: if the user enters starting date and end date, that information should be placed in the A1field in excel. Thanks for your help.

I have a query that has a date/time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss), I have created another field using the following syntax " Sdate: Format([AgentCallDetailInCalls.StartTime],"Short Date") ", I prompt the user for a date using this sdate field I created. The prompt syntax is [Please Enter Start Date]. Currently you have to enter 2/22/2008 (with slashes), I would like to enter 2222008 (without the slashes) to extract the data. The mask I have setup, does nothing. If I put in the date without the slashes, I get nothing, if I put in the slashes, it runs perfectly. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks in advance for your most knowledgeable response. :confused:

Every time I run a query that I have created it asks me to input Expr1 and Expr2 in an enter perameter value pop up box. I don't enter anything, just click okay and the query runs as expected.
Is there a way to get rid of these? (and maybe more importantly, why do they appear?)

I have to print a label quickly every time that the product hit the warehouse. The label has been created as a report linked to the query that will provide the info to the report. In order to make this report printing as quick as possible the idea is to scan the sample id from the product and once the label is printed scan the next sample and an on.
I'm not an expert on VBA but I have created the following scrip but the reports doesn't pop up.
Here is the code:
Dim SampleID As String
SampleID = InputBox("Enter Sample ID")
If SampleID > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptGRM_QuickPrintLabelDymo", acViewPreview, , "[Sample]=" & SampleID
Else
DoCmd.Close
End If
End Sub

I have created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?

Hello,
I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
--Robert

Hi,
Is it possible to customise the input form for a query. At present I have to type in a start and end date manually, it would be far easier to use a popup calendar to select dates. I also have another query that requires you to type in a username, it would be preferential to have a drop down list to select a name from.
Are either of these things possible? or will I need to create a form that calls the query and passes the relevant data?
Many thanks

Does anybody know how to have a text box on a form "satisfy" a parameter in a query? I want to enter two dates and have a subreport show information from them? (The records shown will only be between those two dates) How do I do this? (I don't want the parameter to pop up on form open) Something like (Date1) = Parameter1 (Date2) = Parameter2

how to get a Parameter from a form into a query.I have a form with a subform and a table. However I want to enter a number in the Form and then the subform shall display all entries from the table with that number as a specific field. So to speak i want to apply a filter. Can i do that somehow without using VBA ? And without entering the number in that tiny dialog window that pops up when i use "[ ... ]" brackets in my query ? This is may query so far .... and it is the datasrc for my subform ...
Code:
SELECT tbl_autos.ID, tbl_autos.Typ, tbl_autos.Alter, tbl_autos.BesitzerID
FROM tbl_autos
WHERE tbl_autos.GaragenID = <Param>;
i want to replace <Param> with the content of my form.

I have a database that has several tables, each table has account numbers in
them. I also have queries set for each table to bring in desired
information. Is it possible to set up a form so the user can input an
account number and depending on which table the account number is in, that
query will run?

Based on information from a earlier thread.... I created a Union query that pulls information from multiple tables and fields.
SELECT AG_B_R1 as Num FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R1 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R1 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL SELECT AG_e_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll];
And then I created another query to get the STDEV of the above query
SELECT StDev([Num]) AS StDev
FROM Q_cals_ag_bme_STDEV_Union;
The result will be on a subform on my main page. How do I get my form to input the [roll] automatically and requery the subform, showing my result.
Thanks

I have this select query.
SELECT DISTINCTROW L160.Date, Avg(L160.Zinc) AS [Avg Of Zinc], Min(L160.Zinc) AS [Min Of Zinc], Max(L160.Zinc) AS [Max Of Zinc], Count(L160.Zinc) AS [Count of Zinc]
FROM L160
GROUP BY L160.Date
HAVING (((L160.Date)=[Forms]![L-160quarterfrm].[Date]));
How do I build a form that would ask the user to input a range of dates for the criteria?

I maintain a grade book application that uses many queries whose results are determined by "school year". Most of these are reports and I have a combo box on the Print form for that allows the user to select the school year. The criteria field of the several queries derived by school year is:
[Forms]![Main Navigation]![Print Form]![SchoolYear]
SchoolYear being the combo box control.
They work fine.
I have now added a function to export data to Excel. This is done in a VBA module and I am using a query to select data for the record set I use to write to Excel:
Set objRst = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQueryName)
When I hard code the school year in the query criteria field (i.e. "2012-2013") the process works fine, but if I revert the query to point to the print form field as above, I get an empty recordset.
The Excel export is executed from a control on the Print Form, so the form is open and the combo has data showing, just as it is when a report is run whose data is derived from a query.
When I execute the query from the VBA module, the query is not getting the school year selected on the Print form passed to it properly.

I know this is probably a basic question- but Im not finding a clear answer here.
Basically- I have a value that I want to select from a drop down box on a form (not created yet). That value will get inserted into my query for a calculation I am doing. The form will pop up the results of the query in a table/dataset.
How do I designate the variable in the query that is being inserted from the form? I am using Access 2002- is there a way to visually perform this task (ie- drag/drop type thing)?
Thanks guys!

I have a report query that uses a combo box on a form to collect the parameters. I would like to be able to include an option that would be like not having any criteria at all, to show all the records. I have tried several combinations in the criteria to get it to work and haven't found a way yet.
IIf([Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo]<0,Like"*",[Forms]![MyForm]![Mycbo])
I have tried various different versions of what you see above and none have worked. The true part and the false part both work if separated and tested. Is it possible to make this work or is there better way to do this?

Hi
I am struggling with what seems like should be a straightforward task. Unexpectedly however it has become an infuriatingly difficult one (no doubt due to my complete novice status).
I have a very basic d/base (3 tables) that I have been searching using basic SQL queries. I want to create a simple 'search' form that produces the results of my various queries without the need to work in SQL. Enter one or more search criteria, hit ENTER, results presented in datasheet perhaps?
Thought this would have been easy but I've had no luck. Can you please explain how I can pass a parameter from a form to a query?
Many thanks
