I have no experience with asp or access and I can not figure out how to get these queries to sort descending instead of ascending. Here is what I believe to be the loop:
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT TopRecord.*, Image_Data.FileName FROM Image_Data RIGHT JOIN TopRecord ON Image_Data.ImageID = TopRecord.ImageID;", connStr, 0, 1
ImageID should be what is sorted. Can someone help? Do you need to see more code?
I've recently been building a database on Access to replace the rather clunky and slow one we currently use here (built in Excel).Generally, I've been making it up as I go along which has worked quite well for me so far. However, I've encountered pivot tables. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem; the tables themselves are easy enough to understand. However, I've found that the tables aren't nearly as flexible as I would have liked. At least, not in a way directly apparent to myself.
(After trying, and failing, to include links to Imgur with details on my issue, I have included a .zip file with both images I was going to show)Generally, in Excel, the table works everything out for us, then we sort by largest to smallest and work out the totals for the last 7 days and the last 7-14 days (the week before last). After that, the last formula works out a percentage (loss or gain). [excel.png]
In the access table, though, I can't find a way to make this happen. There's no readily apparent button to add a new calculation field. I've tried using the create calculated total button, but that seems intent on making a separate total for each day on the table, which I don't want. [access.png]
Also, I can't figure out how to sort the records by grand total descending. I would have thought right clicking the grand total and clicking sort descending would have done it, but apparently that would be far too easy. I feel that it's prudent to mention that I'm not all that experienced with Access. I completed MOS and ECDL courses when I was in primary school, but it's been a really long time since that and all of the Office applications have changed rather dramatically.
I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. Sort ascending and filters works perfectly fine. But my descending button doesn't work. I basically have a combo box which contains a field list. Then two buttons (asc. and desc.), then a text box for filter, a button to filter, and another button to reset filter. Here's my code:
Code: Private Sub cmdAscending_Click() If IsNull(Me.cboField) Then MsgBox "Please choose a field.", vbOKOnly, "No field to sort." Else Me.OrderBy = Me.cboField Me.OrderByOn = True
I have a table in which the data input comes from a dropdown list selected in a form combo box as:
contract signed PIN issued PDD issued validation finished Host country approval EB approved CER's issued.
I am designing a report in which I want to display the above list in Ascending or Descending order but as shown rather than alphabetically. What I mean is no matter how the information is on the table the report showd display it in Ascending as contract signed, PIN issued, etc and in Descending as CER's issued, EB approved, Host country approval , etc.
I have this form for data entry. I want to sort a field in a certain way which is neither ascending nor descending. The items in this field should be ordered as say, C, A, D, B. What I want is a custom order. How can we do it?
The field I am referring to is not on this form, but in the underlying table.
I am thinking of a VB code to achieve this purpose, where I can define the order. But not sure how to do it.
I would like to do sorting by using one Button like (Toggle Button).In the first click the below code is work good for Descending but in the second click the code doesn't work for Ascending!!
Code:
Private Sub TabItemName_Label_Click() If [TabItemName_Label] = -1 Then Me.OrderBy = TabItemName & " DESC" Me.OrderByOn = True
I have a field named "PICK_DATE" in text format where pickup date is stored in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Now I wanted to generate a report with the order by clause of PICK_DATE. But it is not giving me the desired result. I want to see the latest PICK_DATE at the top of the report in desending order.
Can any one pls help me out to solve this problem ? :confused:
Having some trouble with a memo field. For each record, the notes field is present on the Form.... I added an unbound text box (txtMemoAdd) and a command button (Add New Note). When the button is selected, it adds the note to the Read Only Notes Field and adds a timestamp using the following code:
The note is added to the bottom, and I was wondering if there was a way to make the new note go to the TOP of the field (Descending Order rather than Ascending).
I have a DB and I have a button that triggers the find and replace. this will search over 100K entries and filter a specific client. The clients record can be 100's of entries.
This all works fine, but its always ascending and I have to scroll to the bottom for the latest record.
I can't set it to show Descending permanently as some employees can't cope with change. so...
I have a checkbox on my form for either Ascending or descending results. Is there any way I can get the find / replace to reference it, Or can I re-sort them after the search.
I've tried putting re-sort code on the 'find' button as lostfocus and mouseup but it doesn't work.
I'm quite new to access, and have a pretty straightforward problem (I hope):
I have a table with 300 records in 10 columns. I want to: 1. filter the data based on column A (gives me 150 visible records) 2. Copy from an excel spreadsheet which exactly matches the access table (single column only, 150 rows) 3. Paste into a new column I created in the access table
Unfortunately, when I hit paste in access, it loses the filter and pastes the data into the complete dataset (i.e. into the wrong records).
I've no idea why access won't keep the filter I set. I also tried numbering the records and sorting them based on this new column. Again, Access lost the sort order before pasting the data.
Help!
I really need to be able to paste my excel data into the table in access!
I have a database of about 2300 entries and new ones are continually being added. However they are not always in numberical sequence, (eg. 604, 605, 606 etc.) sometimes they will be new revisions on an old number, (eg. 345R3, 604R1 etc)
I have noticed that in Access 2000, when you attempt to sort the numbers in to a numerical sequence, they dont always do it, they will go by the first number (eg. 1, 10, 100, 101 etc) How can i get it to go into a correct sequence (eg. 1, 1R1, 2, 3, 4 etc)??????
I created a button for a form using a built-in macro function for sorting records, and I am returned with the following error: THE COMMAND OR ACTION 'SortAScending' ISN'T AVAILABLE NOW.
I am trying to create a work schedule, some customers are scheduled for morning and others in the afternoon. I am trying to figure out how to sort AMs and PMs so I get a line with every other one.
As in the topic stands that im looking for a code that hides Access and it starts up like a normal program. Ive searched several things on the forums and i actually did found something only he didnt gave the code ;(.
I have a problem getting pages of an Access 2002 report to print in the correct order.
I have a report which prints one of four pages per record. The data source for the report was initially sql which retrieved records from 2 tables. The sql was working fine. The order of the records was set by the ORDER BY clause. ORDER BY ON is set to Yes. ORDER BY is set to a text field called SortKey. Because the report was not printing the pages in the correct order, someone suggested that if I create a table (I called it SortReports), make sure that the table is sorted by SortKey, and make the table the data source, it should work. But it does not.
The pages in the report still do not follow this sort order. I have also made SortKey the primary key field. No matter what I do, the report continues to sort by another field called SystemKey, as well as something else. I have been looking at Microsoft and other websites for a similar problem and solution, but no luck yet. Any ideas?
I would greatly appreciate any help, or a push in the right direction.
Can't find any way to declare variables in the sort of module that Access uses by default.Having changed the default, I now get 'Option Compare Database' as the first line (previously nothing was there). Adding anything at all in that section, or changing it to 'Option Explicit' has the consistent effect that all the procedure names in the module are not recognised and nothing works.
Variables declared in procedures work only in the procedure even if declared as Public. Can't get a Static variable to work in more than one procedure. However many variables I declare, there are never any in the Declarations list at the top of the Code Window.
I must use XP/Access 2003 to solve this problem for reasons I won't get into.
I have a report with a Group by on City.
The users need to be able to sort by Coordinator within that OR by Client Name based on a selection they make on the form that opens the report.
-- I have tried to set .OrderBy
-- I have tried to set .RecordSource to different queries with order by hardcoded in them (I only have 2 sort options fortunately)
Is there a way to dynamically change the "Sorting and Grouping" defined in the report? This seems to be the only sorting that the report is responding to.
Through a set of circumstances, I have had to quickly migrate a long-standing (and business critical) database from Access 2003 to Access 2013, without the sort of prepping and planning that I would normally do in such circumstances.
Most functionality appears to be working ok...
Many of my database objects, especially queries, were given meaningful descriptions.
For example, a number of queries might have been described as "Accounts Data Validation".
When I wanted to run validation of the Accounts data, I would simply sort the database queries window by description, then scroll to the relevant section and run all of the tagged queries in turn.
However, having migrated to Access 2013, although the descriptions are still shown, I can no longer sort by them !
Medium term, I could probably assign different database objects to "Groups", but we are talking hundreds, perhaps even thousands of different objects and that would be a laborious and extremely tedious process.
Any way of sorting the database window by description in Access 2013 ?
i made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want... when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
I have a query that sorts players batting averages from highest to lowest. When I run the query just by itself it sorts it right however when I open the report based on that query it does not sort in descending order like I asked. What am I missing??
I try to do something but I don't know how. I have 1 table with 3 rows (title, year, genre) and 1 Form. Is it possible to create combobox or something with 3 criterium, when I selected criterium to re-sort columns in Forms (by title, by year, by genre)?
