Help! Query Syntax
Jul 20, 2006
I keep on getting a syntax error on the first [MU_ID]. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong please? You can e-mail me at Frank.Cappas@CIGNA.Com
Site: IF [MU_ID] BETWEEN ((SELECT [MU_Start] FROM [Sites] WHERE [Site] = “BRB”) AND (SELECT [MU_End] FROM [Sites] WHERE [Site] = “BRB”), “BRB”, {IF [MU_ID] BETWEEN ((SELECT [MU_Start] FROM [Sites] WHERE [Site] = “BRI”) AND (SELECT [MU_End] FROM [Sites] WHERE [Site] = “BRI”},"BRI")
Thank you so much in advance,
Frank

I am really stuck. I have spent two days searcinh different forums trying to solve my problem. I am trying to create an UPDATE q to my Access database. But I get either the: "Syntax error in query. Incomplete query clause" or "Syntax error in UPDATE query".
First of all here's the URL: www.innotec-as.no/login/Kunder
Login U/P either: "alfen" or "thomas".
The page opening up shows the user info, U/P and adress.
viewing the information is working perfectly - but editing it..no way.
When editing and submiting the data the above errors occour.
Try that and you'll also see the SQL I am trying to execute.
The CODE is as follows:
SQLtemp = "UPDATE 'Brukere' SET"
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'navn' = '" & request("Navn") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'epst' = '" & request("Epst") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Pass' = '" & request("Pass") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Firma' = '" & request("Firma") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BAdresse' = '" & request("BAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BPostAdr' = '" & request("BPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PAdresse' = '" & request("PAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PPostAdr' = '" & request("PPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & "WHERE 'Bnavn' = '" & request("Bnavn") & "'"
Response.Write(SQLtemp)
Response.End()
conn.Execute(SQLtemp)
rs.Update[/COLOR]
The finished SQL statement looks like this:
UPDATE 'Brukere' SET 'navn' = 'Alf Byman', 'epst' = 'alf@baccara.no', 'Pass' = 'alfen', 'Firma' = '', 'BAdresse' = '', 'BPostAdr' = '', 'PAdresse' = 'sdfg', 'PPostAdr' = '', WHERE 'Bnavn' = 'alfen'
I have tried to user single quotes, doubble quotes, brackets etc. nothing works.
The code I use for connection is as follows:
<!--#include file="../adovbs.inc"-->
<%
dim conn, rs, SQLtemp
' DSNless connection to Access Database
set conn = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
rs="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
rs=rs & "PWD=uralfjellet; DBQ=" & server.mappath("../../../../db/kunder.mdb")
conn.Open rs
I'll be very HAPPY for some expert help on this.

I'm trying to get my head round this query and not having much luck.
I have table that contains. amongst others, two fields I need to use - Date and Amount. I already have a query that returns me the number of entries for a given month, along with the total value.
SELECT Count(*) AS [Number of Entries],
Sum(NBReferral.[Amount]) AS [Total Amount],
NBReferral.Date
FROM NBReferral
GROUP BY NBReferral.Date;
What I want is to also provide a running total (year to date). Using this:
SELECT Count(*) AS [YTD Number of Entries],
Sum(NBReferral.[Amtount]) AS [YTD Total Amount]
FROM NBReferral;
Combing the two queries works as long as there is only one month. Unfortunately, I'd like to see each month's YTD figure displayed as shown
Date Number of Entries Total Amount YTD Number of Entries YTD Total Amount
Nov 2006 5 10000 5 10000
Dec 2006 3 5000 8 15000
Jan 2007 6 12000 14 27000
etc.
What I currently get, as you would expect, are the same YTD totals applied to each month:
Date Number of Entries Total Amount YTD Number of Entries YTD Total Amount
Nov 2006 5 10000 14 27000
Dec 2006 3 5000 14 27000
Jan 2007 6 12000 14 27000
etc.
Probably a fairly straight-forward query for someone with a bit more experience. Any ideas?

Hi all,
I have the following code that works really well for me:
Me.lstEngines.RowSource = "Select [Engine Name], [Type], [Engine #] " & _
"From [Main Data Entry] " & _
"Where [Engine Name] like '*" & Me.txtsearch & "*'"
Me.lstEngines.Requery
I need to make one modification to it, but I am getting lost in the syntax.
Right now this code is matching the text string "txtsearch" to anything in the "Engine Name" Field.
It works fine, but I need it to also look in the "type" field. I need results if the string is in "Engine Name" OR if it is in "Type"
How do I do that?
Thanks

I want to run a query that allows the user to enter the beginning date and the ending date to produce the results for all items within those dates. I've written this before using "Between", but I can't get the syntax correct.

Anyone?

All,
I've become aware that if I create a variable in the select statement like this in Access:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
That I cannot reliably use said variable later in the same statement:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.ID
ORDER BY TotSum DESC;
It will ask me to "enter a parameter value" for TotSum. When I do, in this example, it still sorts in correctly, but in a larger more detailed query it gets a little confused. I instead have to re-use the equation like this:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.ID
ORDER BY Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) DESC;
Is there a way around this? It seems inefficient to recompute the sum 2 times where I think I only need to do it once.
Any input or explanations?
-BT.

I have the following sql that returns my sample records:
SELECT QryAllEnrolments.[Person Id], QryAllEnrolments.[Course Code], QryAllEnrolments.[Course Name], QryAllEnrolments.GLH, QryAllEnrolments.Date
FROM QryAllEnrolments LEFT JOIN QryWithdrawls ON (QryAllEnrolments.[Person Id] = QryWithdrawls.[Person Id]) AND (QryAllEnrolments.[Course Code] = QryWithdrawls.[Course Code])
WHERE (((QryAllEnrolments.[Person Id])=1950165) AND ((QryWithdrawls.[Person Id]) Is Null));
and wrote the following hoping it would return a running sum of the guided learning hours (GLH) utilising the above:
SELECT Pro.[Date], Pro.[Person Id], Pro.[Course Code], Pro.[Course Name], Pro.[GLH],
(Select Sum(Pro1.[GLH] FROM [QryAllEnrolments Without Matching QryWithdrawls] Pro1 WHERE Pro1.[Date]<=Pro.[Date]) AS [Running Total], Pro.[Date]
FROM [QryAllEnrolments Without Matching QryWithdrawls] AS Pro
ORDER BY Pro.[Date]
It squeels of a syntax error at the inner select sum clause.
your assistance to finish this off would be greatly appreciated.
regards
Peter

I keep getting a syntax error (missing operator) with this bit of code when executing SQL in VBA.
"WHERE [tbl_Student_Roster].[Student Name]= " & [Forms]![form_Student_Roster]![Student_Name] & ";"
It is part of a larger piece, but the rest works (or does not give me an error).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm new to Access and have been learning how to use it for the better part of a year. I've done all the Microsoft online tutorials relevant to the work I need to do with it, and gotten a few books out of the library besides. In general, I self-teach very well given a good resource.
Here's my problem: the main area in which I need to be proficient is running queries, and I cannot find a good, comprehensive explanation of how to construct expressions or set up calculated fields.
In case I'm not clear (I've had quite a time just figuring out what to call what I need), I'll give you an example. I was able to arrange a short tutorial with someone in another department. As part of a query, she used the following statement in the "Field" section to convert date information stored as mm/dd/yyyy into just the year:
Year: IIf([referraldate]<#1/1/2003#,"2002",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2002# And #1/1/2004#,"2003",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2003# And #1/1/2005#,"2004",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2004# And #1/1/2006#,"2005",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2005# And #1/1/2007#,"2006")))))
This is the kind of thing I want to learn how to do. Unfortunately, the Microsoft tutorials don't do much more that give examples of different expressions and functions; I feel like I've been given a handful of sample sentences, a few nouns, and a few verbs--and then told to go speak English.
What I need is a comprehensive guide that not only gives me the building blocks of expressions, but tells me how to combine them into a syntactically meaningful statement--so I know what order things go in, where commas and parentheses should be, etc. Both online or print materials are fine--I've been looking on my own, but with no luck.
Thanks for your help!

I have a select query with a number of expressions and I cannot seem to get the expressions to work. Access keeps giving me syntax error on the following code:
SELECT Run.Test_Case,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Attempted_Actual]) < DateValue([Attempted_Actual]),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Attempted_Actual]),[Points],0))*100 AS ActualAttempted,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Completed_Actual]) < DateValue([Completed_Actual]),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Completed_Actual]),[Points],0))*100 AS ActualCompleted,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Verified_Actual]) < DateValue([Verified_Actual]),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Verified_Actual]),[Points],0))*100 AS ActualClosed,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Attempted_Planned]) < DateValue(Date()),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Attempted_Planned]),[Points],0))*100 AS PlannedAttempted,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Completed_Planned]) < DateValue(Date()]),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Completed_Planned]),[Points],0))*100 AS PlannedCompleted,
Sum(IIf(DateValue([Verified_Planned]) < DateValue(Date()),[Points],0))/Sum(IIf(Not IsNull([Verified_Planned]),[Points],0))*100 AS PlannedClosed
FROM Run INNER JOIN Task ON Run.Run=Task.Group
GROUP BY Run.Test_Case;
HAVING (((Run.Test_Case)=IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Status]![ComboStatusTestCase]),[Test_Case],[Forms]![Status]![ComboStatusTestCase])));
I am sort of confused on where the error could because it just says there is a syntax error. My assumption is that I am using DateValue() in the wrong context. If anyone has any pointers or sees my error please let me know.
Thanks,

Can someone tell me where I might be going wrong here. The following query works in SQL, but somewhere in the LEFT JOINS area, Access gets a little confused and says I'm missing an operator.
SELECT Tariffs.TariffCPUCID, Tariffs.TariffID, AdviceLetters.ALCPUCID, Tariffs.ALID, Tariffs.ScheduleID, Schedules.SheetTitle, AdviceLetters.[Filing Date], Tariffs.[C&E], SheetsCancelling.CancellingID, SheetsCancelling.CancellingCPUCID
FROM Tariffs LEFT JOIN Schedules ON Tariffs.ScheduleID = Schedules.ScheduleID LEFT JOIN AdviceLetters ON Tariffs.ALID = AdviceLetters.ALID LEFT JOIN SheetsCancelling ON SheetsCancelling.TariffID = Tariffs.TariffID
WHERE Tariffs.Type="E"
ORDER BY Tariffs.TariffCPUCID DESC;

Hello, first time posting, not sure what info you all need. I'm looking for some help with an if/then statement in access query involving dates. Below is the query I am trying to use, along with the error message. Any ideas?
Domestic Violence CME Required?: IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")
syntax error (comma) in query expression 'IIf(([Date of Next Medical License Renewal]-[Date of Last Domestic Violence Credit (2)])>("yyyy",6),"yes","no")'
The error seems to be in relationship to the number 6. I want a "yes" to show up in the field if the difference is greater then 6 years.

Hello I'm having trouble getting my nested Iif statement to run. Can anyone help??? I've attached a screen shot of the syntax error that I'm receiving. The example code below needs tweaking.
Update [Goodrec-copy3] set [Goodrec-copy3].shortname = Iif (Not Null([shortname]),[Goodrec-copy3].shortname Like "*,JR*" Or ([Goodrec-copy3].[shortname] Like "*, SR*" Or ([Goodrec-copy3].[shortname]) Like "*, II*" Or [Goodrec-copy3].[shortname]) Like "*, III*", InStrRev([shortname])," ",InStr([shortname]," ,")+1,50) &" "& Left([shortname],InStrRev([shortname])," ,")-1) WHERE ((([Goodrec-copy3].[ctype])="I"));
What I'm attempting to accomplish with this query is to keep the field shortname the same if not null and if it doesn't meet the criteria of having a string value of "JR", "SR", "II", or "III". If the field does have a string value of "JR", "SR", "II", or "III" reverse the string (example John Gissom JR) to reflect shortname as such for example: "Gissom JR John".
Thanks in advance!

I am creating a database to analyze prices. I have 2 tables. One table has a bunch of dates, product names and the prices. There are many of the same dates and many of the same products. I.E. a product could get priced one day and than have a different price the next day.The other table has a bunch of information and dates and product names also. The goal is to add a week to the dates in this table and use that date and product name to look up the corresponding price for that date and product and add it to the record.
I am trying to use Dlookup but evey record is then filled with the same price. I am using this Expr1: DLookUp("Price","Qry_Historic_Price","[Date]=#[End Period]# And primary_id ='[primary_id']")...When I run the query I get a message that says "Syntax error in query expression" than a message box that pops and says "Unknown" with only "ok" to click.

I have an asp page which modifies articles in my access database.
I added a field in the db called "Blocco" which is a checkbox field.
The code (working) which the page used before was (I'm copying just the part that modified will cause the problem):
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", " If FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End IfSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
After adding a radio type field in the form called Blocco (with yes or no values, working like the existing field "Bozza") I've modified the code adding something to update the db:
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", "If FBlocco = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = False "End ifIf FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End ifSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
The page itself is loaded with no errors but when the form takes action I get this:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'True Articoli.Bozza = False'.
why? I've just used the same code that worked with the field "Bozza" (which is a checkbox field too)
Sorry for my english

Access and receive the following message after trying to run a query: Syntax error (comma) in query expression, followed by the formula I wrote on the Query Builder. I use 4 tables to run the query, but only need to trim some stuff from one of them. This table is called BD_lamosa_corregida and have already selected Expression on the Total row in Design View. This is the formula:
parte: Trim(IIf(IIf(IsError(InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1)),"",InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1))="",[Parte],Left([Parte],IIf(IsError(InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1)),"",InStr(1,[Parte],"(",1))-1)))
The formula is trying to trim the left side of an expression (Part description) which may contain a code number in parenthesis or not, it might also have this parenthesis separated by a space or not.

I'm experiencing a error when I go to add a filter, "Syntax error in string in query expression "MyFieldName""..If I go to to the table where the field is located, I CAN apply a filter.However, If I throw this single field on a form and switch to datasheet view, all of a sudden I can not filter it.
Additional info: whenever I go to build a query with the field, it throws brackets around this field and no others... this is weird.
Code:
SELECT MyTable.field1, MyTable.field2, MyTable.[problemfield]

Can anybody help me understand why I get the error
"Syntax error in CONSTRAINT clause"?
I get it in Access 2003 and Access 2007.
Both are clean installs with no add-ins
Running this code in VBA, or pasting the SQL directly in a query results in the same error.
Sub test()
sTableName = "Test"
sSQL = "CREATE TABLE " & sTableName & "_Config (" _
& "[idConfig] Int Primary Key," _
& "[Config] Memo," _
& "[Instrument] int," _
& "[Serial_No] Text(25)," _
& "[Firmware] int," _
& "[Orientation] int," _
& "[Sensors] int," _
& "[Sensor_Size] float," _
& "[Sensor_1_Distance] float)"
DoCmd.RunSQL sSQL
sSQL = "CREATE TABLE " & sTableName & "_Leader (" _
& "[idLeader] Int Primary Key," _
& "[idGroup] int," _
& "[idFile] int," _
& "[idConfig] int," _
& "[DateTime] DateTime," _
& "[Heading] float, [Pitch] float, [Roll] float," _
& "[Pressure] float, [Depth_BSL] float, [Height_ASB] float,"
_
& "[Min_Valid_Sensor] int, [Max_Valid_Sensor] int," _
& "[ASM_Bed_Level] float," _
& "CONSTRAINT [FK_Test_Leader_idConfig] FOREIGN KEY ([idConfig]) REFERENCES [Test_Config] ([idConfig]) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE" _
& ")"
DoCmd.RunSQL sSQL
End Sub
The first table is created just fine.
And if I leave the constraint clause out, the second table is created also.
If I try to run it as an SQL query right in Access, after the error is delivered, it highlights the word DELETE, and if I reverse the update and delete portions, it highlights the word UPDATE.
I have looked up the clause in Access help and even using their example, i get the same error.
Any help will surely be appreciated!
