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?
I have created a simple query that is used as the record source of one of my forms. I want to pass the query a different criterion each time the form is opened.
Any suggestion/example on who to do that will be very much appreciated.
I this is a simplifed version a saved query called "qryTest"
PARAMETERS [gUserID] Long; SELECT [Id],'Complaint' AS IncidentType FROM tblComplaints WHERE tblComplaints.[Id] IN (Select Incident_ID from tblNotification where Dept_ID IN (Select Dept_ID from tblUserDepts Where User_Id = [gUserID] ) AND Incident_Type = 'Complaint');
UNION ALL SELECT [Id],'Fall' AS IncidentType, FROM tblFalls tblFalls.[Id] IN (Select Incident_ID from tblNotification where Dept_ID IN (Select Dept_ID from tblUserDepts Where User_Id = [gUserID] ) AND Incident_Type = 'Fall');
how to i call the result from code or from the query manager and include the parameter so there is no prompt that comes up?
like Me.ListNew.RowSource = "qryTest " & gUserID &";" or Select * from qryTest , 31 - where 31 is the value fed to the parameter
??? does anyone know? I know it can be called in APS like this:
Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Open strConn ' strconn is my connection string set rsP=createobject("adodb.recordset") conn.qryTest 31 .....
I can't believe I can't do it from the query string! Heeeellpppp!
I have developed some complex pass-thru queries in Access, looking at DB2 data. I am hoping to be able to make these queries 'prompted' for easy use for my less technical colleagues. If these were developed in IBM's QMF tool, I would build the prompt like &MemberID, for example, if I wanted the user to input a value for Member ID. Access pass-thrus don't recognize this, and it throws an error. Anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?
I have a stored procedure created in SQL SERVER 2008r2
I have a form in access adp project with combo boxes, when I click the submit button I want the values chosen to be the parameters and the stored procedure called to generate a report
:) I like to learn Access. This forum has helped. I would like to pass a value from a "list Box" as a parameter for a query. Is there a way to do this or will I have to do some coding to set the passing of the control.
I would prefer to pass it and use the creteria options which opens a window. I have not see this option as of yet....
Thanks Tom:)
The text below is copied from the help offored with the program on my desktop. Its clear but I need more info and steps ************************************************** ******
When a user selects a value in a list box, drop-down list box, or combo box, Microsoft Access can do one of two things: Access can store the selected value in a table (not the same table that the list gets its rows from), or Access can pass the value to another control. For example, for the Supplier list box in the preceding illustration, if a user selects "Pavlova, Ltd." , Access looks up the primary key value (SupplierID) for Pavlova, Ltd. in the Suppliers table and sets the SupplierID field (the foreign key) for the current record in the Products table to the same value. This is the value that is stored. Because Access is storing a value based on a selection in the list box, the list box is bound. (Note that the SupplierName value that comes from the Suppliers table is displayed in the list box but not stored.)
When using parameters from one form to the next I normally hide the form and then reference the parameter textboxes in the next form to the hidden form. Is there a better way of doing this as I saw threads here mentioning passing a parameter. How do I do this? Thanks!
Can Access handle paramater-passing without getting into the object model and adding a "Parameter" datatype to a query and calling DoCmd.RunSQL etc, and also without prompting the user?
Is something like this possible (as it is in SQL Server I believe):
SELECT * FROM some_query_that requires_a_parameter(param_value='china')
I am trying to avoid the annoying bit where Access Prompts you for a parameter with the little popup, and I'm also trying to avoid the little bit called "programming it with VBA".
I'd like to see if this can be done with only a SQL query in Access.
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 report that pulls data from a crosstab query. The report works perfectly and prompts for a "StartDate" when it is run.I need a form with a date field that can be selected. Then a command button which when pressed opens the report with the selected date passed as the parameter.the code I have so far is in the on click event of the button:
I was hoping that this would pass the txt.startDate field on the form to the report's "StartDate" when it is opened, but it is still prompting for the parameter when the report loads.Should I be using openArgs rather than the where clause? Or do I need to configure something in the "on load" event of the report also?
I've a method **querylistboxitems** and i want to call this method in several click events, only difference is listbox,dropdown values change based on the event i call.
Code:
Public Sub querylistboxitems(lstbox As listbox, dropdown As ComboBox) Dim drpdwnvalue As String drpdwnvalue = dropdown.Value With lstbox //do something End with End Sub
And I'm calling this in the buttion click event by passing the listbox names as **List_Compare** and **Select_CM_Compare**
Code: Private Sub Command_compare_Click() Call querylistboxitems_1(List_Compare, Select_CM_Compare) End Sub
But the values passing to the function are not control names, control values i.e corresponding control selected values. I want to use listbox name in **lstbox**, not the value.
I have a form with option group (two option buttons) and date fields (to select a date range). The form should pull/pass parameters from the query. There's a form button that generates a report based on the query.
Issue: I can't figure it out how to link option buttons and date range to the query so when the button is clicked it generates the report with chosen criteria. The form is for the user to enter parameters.
I have created a report that prints a transaction input via a form. All the data has been posted to tables while the document details are still on the form. The source for the report is a query that gets its "Document ID" from the current form as its CRITERIA. This works fine. I click a button and the report prints.
Now I've added a datasheet that lists all the "Document IDs" that have been posted within a given date range. I've added a Macro to open(reprint) the same report when any Document ID is double-clicked. This is working except that it prompts for a Parameter Value and references Forms!DocDataEntry!txtDocumentID. (Note: this is the name of the original data entry form which is no longer open)
If I manually type the Document ID (that I just double-clicked) in the parameter box, the report prints correctly. But this shouldn't be necessary.
I know I'm missing a WHERE clause on the Macro that opens the report but nothing I've input works. I can't even hard code a document number. Actually any Where clause provided prompts additional parameter boxes to open and they ALL require the SAME INFORMATION... the Document ID.
I'm thinking that the Criteria on the Document ID in the query should be changed to allow a Document ID from any active source.
I am trying to enter dates in a form that calls a report that invokes a query that uses the dates. It has been a less then satisfying experience. I am getting a Run-Time error 3122. Is it possible and I need to work on syntax or do I need to think of another way? BTW how do I lookup the Run-Time errors? Thanks for helping an old guy learn new tricks. Jim
I have a query set up. I need to pass a set of current records ( as I select them in a drop-down menu) in a form to the query as parameters. How would I do it with or without VB? Thanks !
EDIT: Forgot to mention that all combo boxes are bound so they are not customized dialog-boxes which are unbound
Hi there. What I'm attempting to do is pass multiple values from a multiple selection list box as criteria for an Append Query. Is there any way to do this? The DB keeps track of Real Estate boards and the forms that they use, I would like to be able to select all the boards in a given state/province, but have the ability to deselect some within that province if I don't need them in the query (this is the criteria i'm trying to pass). I don't need to use a list box, any control that would allow me to pass multiple values would be great. Anyone able to help? Thanks very much.
Is it possible to pass a variable to a form when a checkbox is clicked? I have 8 tabs, each of which has a checkbox. When a checkbox is clicked, I would like it to display 1 form but that form should display different data each time by either running a SQL query with specific variables passed to it or by running a different SQL query.
I have a routine that exports the results of a query to an Excel file. Is it possible to input the formula into the query so that the Excel values calculate?
This is the formula I am trying to pass to the "AZ" column of the Data tab
I'm trying to create a query that supplies a form with data. I want to pass a TempVar to the query that is selected a from previously opened form.The TempVar is setting correctly and I can see if this if I place a textbox (NewCID) on the form showing the TempVar. The problem I have is displaying on the records according to that TempVar. If I set the query manually, i.e. "|Test|" then records are displayed but if I use the TempVar, which also displays |Test| then no records are brought back.
think it's something do with the vertical bar and that fact the field I'm searching on is a memo field, both of which I've no control over. I also have to use the Like statement because of this.Here's the query that works...
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like "|Test|"
and the one that I want to use, that doesn't...
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like [TempVars]![tmpvarCID]
I've even tried referring to the textbox instead of the TempVar, i.e.
SELECT * FROM dbo_ASSETS WHERE ASSET_CID Like [Forms]![AssetsCID]![NewCID]
Good afternoon, I have a form with a subform and in the first txtbox of the subform in the GotFocus event I have a little procedure which checks the txtboxs on the parent to make sure that there is data in all four of the txtboxes. This works great the first time and it pops up a msgbox and it even setsfocus on the txtbox with no data in it, but if I tab into the subform a second time and there still is no data in one of the txtboxs on the parent form, nothing happens, no message and no setting focus on the txtbox with no data in it. Does anyone know of a way to get this procedure to re-set everytime a user tries to enter the subform? Thank you in advance to anyone offering and ideas and suggestions.
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
Hi, I have a combo box based on a parameter query, which is on a sub form. I want the query to use the existing value from a field on the main form as the parameter, without getting the "Enter parameter" box. please help.
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>;
