I need to create a query that will output the number of times doors have been used during time bands of a day.
I have no problem getting the info I want from the doors that have been used (in other words where there is a record in the field) however, how can I ammend the attached statement so that it reports no records as a "Zero"? in the same format always ie,
North Entrance, 2
South Entrance, 4
East Exit, 0
West Entrance, 3
I need the data in this format so that I can export it to excel.
Here is the SQL view of the query I am using
SELECT [Staff Entrance].[Door Location], Count([Staff Entrance].Time) AS CountOfTime
FROM [Staff Entrance]
WHERE ((([Staff Entrance].Time)>#12/30/1899 2:30:0# And ([Staff Entrance].Time)<#12/30/1899 23:0:0#))
GROUP BY [Staff Entrance].[Door Location];
I have never used Access before and i have been asked to create a report that displays the cartridge name and the quantity. This part was easy. But, the problem i am having is that i have a field in the database called "DoNotOrder". If the cartidge has the box ticked in the field "DoNotOrder", I do not want it to be displyed in the report. I was wondering if anybody could give me a clue into writing a statement to do such a thing.
I have basically a list containing 400 names and addresses. For each address, an event can occur. If and when it does, I add 3 fields to hold the date, type, and result of the event.
Simple enough, but I am at a complete loss as to how to make a simple rdb with table 1 containing 400 rows of address data and table 2 containing event data. Hopefully somebody can help me.
My table in Access 2000 in its simplest form consists of the following fields:
ID (primary key) Address (actually several fields) Date1 Event1 Result1 Date2 Event2 Result2 | | DateN EventN ResultN
I need to create buyer and seller invoices within my access 2003 databases, my sister in law runs an antiques auction house and I'm working on a database to capture all their information.
I've created a 2 queries (a buyer invoice and seller invoice), show all unsettled items with the relevant item information and fee's.
However, I would like it to automatically allocate an invoice number, and store the information back to a table (seller and buyer ID, total number of items on the invoice, total fee etc)
I'd like store the invoices as well, so within the customer record form, I can include a box showing a list of the buyer invoices on one side and seller invoices in another (not all customers are buyers and sellers).
Once I've issued an invoice, can I automate it to show that item as then as invoiced?
Can the invoices be editable at all?
When they come in and settle their account, I also need to feed this information back in as well.
Can i arrange an invoice for seller's particularly, to show all sold items, and the fee's associated with them
Returned items as well as any associated fee's with them?
I have been looking at the Northwind example.
I see how they have an orders details table and orders table, I could replicate this.
I could have an Buyers Invoice table and Buyers Invoice Details table, but how do I generate an invoice, pull the next Invoice number from my (currently blank) invoice table, and pull in the outstanding items for that buyer for that specific auction date (I have a query), and then populate back information from the invoice?
I like the fact that their order form is editable, do any changes go back to the query, that then populate the invoice when you click print invoice?
I need to be able to (at the end of the auction) pull all items from my item log, for that buyer, and print them an invoice, automatically saving all the invoice details back into my database.
I need be able to automatically flag the items in my items table, as invoiced and pull the invoice number in?
I can see how all the Northwind tables, queries, and forms relate to each other and subforms, but I'm not sure how to actually create an invoice, get invoice number, merge with my query, and then feedback in.
Hi there, I have a really simple question. I have a field in a table that contains comments (text format). I want to run a query where I can get only the records that contain the word "high" in the comments. There may be some typos so I would like records returned that also contain something like "high". High is not the only word in the comments.
ItemType is a list of items (Table, Desk, Bookshelf, Chair) Style is a type of style for the item (Circular table, Radial Desk)
I want to create the Items.Style field based upon a query of the StyleTypes. So if a user types "Desk" in Items.ItemType then the Items.Style field will be limited to only those Styles which match that selected item within the StyleTypes table.
Think thats clear enough, but my attempts have all failed, hope you guys can give me a push in the right direction, thank you!
I have very little knowledge of databases and even less about writing queries.
The problem: I have a database that lists cities (such as Paris, London, New York etc) as rows and employment status (Full-time, Part-time, Unemployed etc) as columns. I need to go through each city and record which employment status is greatest (for each city) and present it in a new column. I can do this manually but I’m sure a query can be created to automate the process.
Hope that all made sense. Can anyone suggest ideas on where to start?
hi have just designed a rather simple music database for my dad to use at home as he has large collection. have a table with the heading"artist" and another one with "album" ...my problem is that on the table there maybe 1 or more instances with the same artist but with different albums...when i run a simple query for ..say artists starting with the letter"a" i may get about 10 cases of the same artist appearing in my query when all i want is one...(depending on if i may put in say one artist like abba having 10 albums etc)...i am entering each artist with the album each time so i may enter the artist in say 10 times....depending on how many albums etc
if you understand all that...i would be grateful if someone could help me with a simple query alan

SQL and Access are both new to me. I have purchased some books (which are still in the mail), and have gone through this forum (which seems to be a little more advanced for me at this moment).
I have a database that contains Business_Unit (Store Numbers), Post_Date (Last Date of Inventory), and other misc. stuff. Anyways, My goal is to pull the latest date of inventory for each individual store before the last ninety days. What I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT informix_shrink_head.business_unit, informix_shrink_head.counting_event_id, informix_shrink_head.post_date, informix_shrink_head.delta_cost, informix_shrink_head.delta_count, informix_shrink_head.count_reason_cd, pcw_loc_master.closed FROM informix_shrink_head, pcw_loc_master WHERE (((informix_shrink_head.post_date)<=Date()-90) AND ((pcw_loc_master.closed) Is Null)) ORDER BY informix_shrink_head.business_unit;
However, I get the same store multiple times and for multiple post dates. I do not even know if this can be done in one simple swoop, or if I need to create another table and re-query that? Any assistance or comments would be much appreciated.
I have a database that collects information on products when engineers return them, what I need to do is when they have submitted the form, email it to 3 people so that the paperwork can be raised.
I understand that I will need to create a query to display just the last record and then email it.
So the idea is when a record is created and the engineer clicks submit the last record then gets emailed to the three people.
Please be gental with me im still quite new to all this.
How do i create a query that just displays the last record?:confused:
I am sending ZIP file in attach with files in it. I would like some help to change the 'Q_test' query so that I can get the result shown in the excel file.
I want all the records to appear which have some text in that particular field. So if there is no text in that field, it won't come up. What would I need to write under that field in the query?
I am trying to run a query to retrieve all rows in all tables using a row called Project Status. I am however not able to retrieve any data what so ever with the wizard and by using the limited sql I know. I have attached a copy of my tables if it helps.
The relationships are as follows: Release to PCR - One to many, Sponsors to PCR - One to many. The column i want to filter on is Project_status located in the PCR table.
I am re-visiting access for the 1st time in a couple of years to develop a quotations system and I am just messing around at the moment with Northwind trying to work out how it all works.
I have come across a problem that is baffling me....
When displaying the order details table (referenced from products), the product ID is disoplayed in text form, not as a number. Whenever I try and do this with 2 similar tables using the query builder I always get just the other tables number. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as every field, attribute, join etc seems to be just the same as the sample tables.
I apologize, I know this has been covered. But I just spent half an hour reading old posts and still can't quite decide how to apply it to what I'm doing.
I have a db that logs surgeries and all their details. One of the new things they want to do is be able to run a list of average cost for a certain surgery, since patients are always asking ahead of time how much it will cost. I have a query (and report that runs from it) that will list all the surgeries and total charges for individual ones for a date range the user specifies. But I can't figure out how to make it calculate an average charge for each surgery. I could if there were always a certain number to divide by, but of course there could be 2 of this type of surgery and 57 of that type.
A friend of mine has recently created a simple database which holds details of childrens story books. It logs the name of the Author, the storyline, its character etc in various tables...
He's currently creating some simple queries for his database. However, there is one query which neither he nor I can figure out, I'll try to explain to the best of my ability.
Basically, the 'story line' field in his database explains the basic plot of the book, some of the plots have the words "son", "dad", "father" and "boy" in them.
Now, he wants to create a simple query, which looks up and displays data which contains the keywords "dad", "father", "son" etc in them. So far he's tried...
Like "*Son*" Or Like "*Father*" etc...
This worked, briefly. The query was bringing up storylines with both contained the words "son" and "father" , which is correct. However, the query was also bringing up story lines with the word "song" in them, or any word which remotely related to one of the keywords, but didn't contain the exact criteria in the query (son, father etc).
In basic terms, how do you create a query which only brings up words that match the EXACT query criteria? In this case, 'Son' or 'Father' or 'Dad' etc? Rather than words which only briefly relate to the criteria, such as 'Song' or 'Fat' etc?
Thanks for your cooperation, feedback and examples would be highly appreciated.
I'm missing a bit of experience dealing with this query. It's very simple. I'm selecting log activities from COMLOG. However I only want the most recent DateStamp entry of each Cust_FK entry listed.
Because there are more logactivities, there are more/identical Cust_FK values. Would I first have to group these?? I just don't know how I would go about it.
SELECT COMLOG.LogID, COMLOG.DateStamp, COMLOG.Cust_FK, COMLOG.LogActivity FROM COMLOG;
