I need to be able to find duplicate combinations (or, I suppose, permutations). I have four columns in a table that all contain inter values. I want to be able to query so that I can see if there are more than one records that have, say, 12, 28, 5, 14 in columns 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
View RepliesI have a database for my school that I'm creating to log books read by Pupils.
I have a Read table linked to both to a Pupil table and a Book table to say that the book has been read.
When I click on a Book in a listbox this adds a record to the Read table for the pupil - this code works great.
I want to check that the book is not already there but my code is not working.
Below the ID should come from the Pupil table and BookID from the Read table.
I think this is the problem....
The code stops on the Set*rs* = *db.OpenRecordset(mysql, *dbOpenSnapshot) with "Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
At this point mysql is "SELECT Count (ID) as Total from Read WHERE ID = '952' and BOOKID = '13';"
Option Compare Database
Private Sub List5_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

Dim db As DAO.Database

Could anyone help me please?
I have incorporated a search form (previously posted on this forum) and it is not cooperating when there's a duplicate name on the listbox. There can be more than one, say, John Smith on the database. In order to differentiate between two John Smiths, I need to be able to see their date of birth, where they are and who assessed their work.
So, I type the name John Smith on the search box, list box shows me all the John Smiths in the database, but only shows the first John Smith's details on the relevant fields on the form. What I would like to do is to be able to click on each John Smith's name on the listbox and see their details on the relevant fields. Attached db is Access 2000.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
I have used John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form, however to search on the fields I want I have created a query which has mutiple tables and when I get a duplicate value in the search box, i.e. in Client, there are 2 client "A"s and when I click on one it automatically chooses both.From here I want to create a double click event to open that records in a form, but I can't if it defaults to both records.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
I want to perform queries that count the number of customers using combinations of different products.
The data is organised like so:
CustomerID ProductType No of Items
1 A 5
1 B 1
1 C 2
2 D 2
3 B 2
3 B 3
and so on.
There are 5 or 6 product types. I need to be able to produce a table showing all the various combinations. For example, number of customers using JUST product type A and nothing else, number of customers using product type A and product type B, customers using product type A, B and C
and so on.
I think there are around 64 different combinations!
I was wondering if there is a quicker way to do this apart from writing 64 different queries!!
Hope this clear and hope someone can help!
thanks!
Sasha.
Hi,
I have the following dilemma. I have to make multiple tables with many columns and if I were to type in the data manually it would take me a few weeks. But if I could somehow specify the number of columns(and the number of choices in each column) and then have Access(or Excel) create a table with all the possible combinations it would make my job a LOT easier. For example, let's say I have department stores in multiple cities. I need to create the following table:
CITY DEPT CLOTHING
San Jose Men's Shirts
San Jose Men's Pants
San Jose Men's Shoes
San Jose Women's Shirts
San Jose Women's Pants
San Jose Women's Shoes
Los AngelesMen's Shirts
Los AngelesMen's Pants
Los AngelesMen's Shoes
Los AngelesWomen's Shirts
Los AngelesWomen's Pants
Los AngelesWomen's Shoes
Instead of typing that out manually, is it possible to create some sort of list like:
Cities: San Jose, Los Angeles
Dept: Men's, Women's
Clothing: Shirts, Pants, Shoes
And have Access or Excel create the table with all of the possible combinations?
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
HELP!
I have 8 tables all with a membership number as the unique identifier, I need to find all the possible combinations and then create queries for each combination, is there a quick and easy way to do this? or do I have to sit and define a query for each of the 250ish combinations?!
I'm pulling all the data together using a union query. What I need to do now is to find the combinations using either "is null" or "is not null" criteria (in the queries).
Regards

All,
I have a problem building a query using multiple check boxes. The situation is as follows:
I have a database to monitor enquiries which come into a central email account. I have devised a system where several check boxes are used to define the nature of the enquiry. Users can tick any number or none of the options to describe the enquiry.
I would like to create a query where users can search the database based on the check boxes which have been ticked. For example, if users want to search for enquiries where a specific three check boxes have been ticked, I would like all of the records where these three boxes are checked to appear, and so on for all different combinations of check boxes ticked.
I've tried a few methods, including creating a seperate form for the query where users check their search criteria in line with the enquiry form, but I can't link this with the original form.
I hope my description adequetly conveys the problem I have!
Any thoughts would be most welcome.

ok this is weird post but im wonderin how to go about it easily cause i can think of a few ways, dunno if they will work of not, so im asking for ur opinion. I need to find out possible cominations for a salary cap football league based on dollar amounts for the players and points based on last years results, yet it cant go past $100.00...so one possible choice is (QB Tom Brady $22.56 183.50 points). its 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE 1 Kicker, 1 DEF team and i have to do all 9 for it to count...so would i have to set up 6 columns, one for each position and have a way of picking 1 of A 2 of B 3 of C 1 of D 1 of E 1 of F for 1 qb, 2 Rb, etc? and have it so sum of values is < $100 and it also must add the points so i can see the best possible combination/most points i can get for $100.00...i know its last years points and this year will be diff but I am just comparing...all i need is an outline i dont need u guys to do it for me i have some experience with access...thanks for anyone who can help
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a piece of code (either in access or excel) which will return all combinations of records in a particular field (or column of cells) which will sum up to a given value (or a close approximation thereof - ie a margin of error of, say, 2).
In other words, imagine you have a number field with 100 records in it. I would like to know all combinations of those records which add up to a value that the code could specify (eg 223). This would be incredibly valuable to assist in performing reconciliations that I perform in my role.
I am trying to create a cross join or Cartesian product TABLE, not a query.
I am creating a training database. For each and employee and each training event, I want to know - is this event required, who approved it, and when was it completed. The table I envision looks like this:
Code:
EMPLOYEE_ID EVENT_ID REQUIRED APPROVER EVENT_DATE
1 1 Y WPD 9/5/14
1 2 N
I currently have 39 employees and 473 events - 39*473 = 18447 records
I was able to make a cross join query and use make table, but whenever I add a new employee or event, if I update the make table query I will lose all my existing data.
I am new to Access and am trying to reduce a dataset I am working with to make it managable for Excel. I have three columns which have three unique parameters and one column with numberical content.
Column A Column B Column C Column D
NJ Red Monday 10
NJ Red Tuesday 20
NJ Yellow Wednesday 30
NY Red Monday 35
NY Green Tuesday 40
NY Green Wednesday 60
I want to elimiate column C from the dataset, and sum column D for every unique combination of Column A & Column B. I have figured out how to reduce down the dataset to get a list of all unique combinations of Column A&B,what formula I can use in a query to sum column D on my table for every unique combination of column A&B. This is a simple SUMIF in excel, but my dataset is too large for excel.
We are working on an Access (2007) database that is on a SharePoint Site (2007).
Currently the form is operational, but there is one last thing that would be nice to have.
The table is "Updated Headcount" which contains "EMP_ID" which are unique numbers stored as text.
In the event a new employee is entered in the system by another user on this site we would like to prevent any duplicate "EMPID"s from being entered and saved on the SharePoint, we would also like to alert the user and prevent the data from being saved.
All data is currently bound, so once the user makes a change it is made, no submit button is required.
We are running into some difficulties in doing a dlookup from the value entered and comparing to a column in the table.
TABLE - UPDATED HEADCOUNT
COLUMN in UPDATED HEADCOUNT - EMPID
FORM CELL user will input an EMPID - newEMPID
FORM CELL used for a dlookup to compare what user has entered to what is already in the table - duplicateEMPID
So below is what we are trying to do, we are sure there are a few commands missing....
=IIF(newEMPID=dlookup([UPDATED HEADCOUNT]![EMPID]), newEMPID, "Error, EMPID already exists")
why the code below is not functioning properly. When I type in an acronym in the textbox, it keeps saying there is an error "Run-time error '3345': Unkown or invalid field reference 'ABO'." I do have ABO in the field.
The dysfunctional code:
Code:
Private Sub btnFind_Click()
If (TxtFind & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[Acronym] = " & TxtFind
[Code] .....
The red highlighted line is where the debugger leads me to. Something with identifying the field? I would like to enable the search procedure to search throughout the entire records rather than just a specific field. How may I write such a line or two?
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click()
Dim rs As Object
If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then
MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly
Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.

View 2 Replies View Related1. I created a form with some search-fields which are related to a query. Then I added a Subform in which I put some more Search criteria (So that I can easily hide and unhide those additional searchfields). It sounds strange but is necessary ;-). Now I related those searchfields in the subform to the same query. When I run that query a window pops up that I should put in a value in all those searchfields which are in the subform. But I told Access that it should display all rows, if there is no value in those searchfields. Just as I did it with the Searchcriteria in the Main form. Do I have to do something special, when I have a query which is related to two Forms?
2. I want a searchfield to search in three different columns. Usually the value will just be found in one of those columns. As the Table I search is very long and has many searchfields and multiple of those will relate to more than one column, is there an easy way to do it in VBA? As I did it by using the "or" field when designing a query, but this seems very slow and unstable.
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.

So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name
If Me.txtLastName > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND "
End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
Ok, i have a search query as follows
SELECT Table1.*, Table1.[Winning Contractor]
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Table1.[Winning Contractor])=[Who was the winning bidder?]));
This works well except if the user doesn't captialize a letter or doesn't type in the full company name. Is there a way to change this search to a like search instead of an exact one?
