My understanding of the LIKE operator seems to be deficient for filtering a query when using the Access query pane. I have a combo box that lists the values to be filtered. One option in the combo box is "No Selection". If "No Selection" is selected, I want the filter turned off, in other words ALL records are shown.
In theory the following code would seem to be correct when placed in the criteria line. It does not work: IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,Like "*",[forms]![type5frm].[combo2])
If the value of COMBO2 =24 (No Selection), then I would like all records to show up, but no records are displayed. The FALSE side of the IIF statement works correctly.
As an experiment I tried LIKE by itself and it displayed all the records: LIKE "*"
Another failed try:IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,[agency]) Like "*",[forms]![type5frm].[combo2]) AGENCY is the fieldname.
A more exotic attempt that failed:IIf([forms]![type5frm].[combo2]=24,Val(Str([agency]) Like "*"),[forms]![type5frm].[combo2])
I have a query that I am using in VBA to select the number of days equipment is past due for service. I have an equipment table with a last maintenance field (tbleqDP with field DPLstMnt) and another table (tblmaintdue) that defines the maintenance interval. I have a query (qrynumdays) that finds the number of days from tblmaintdue for the equipment type based on a value in cboMaintEquipType combobox. The VBA then generates a report based on which type of equipment is selected using a select case statement. An excerpt of the VBA is below:
Select Case cboMaintEquipType.Value Case "DP" Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("qryoverdue", _ "Select DPTag, DPLstMnt, DateDiff(""d"",DPLstMnt,Now())-NumDays AS Overdue from tbleqDP, qrynumdays where Overdue > 0") DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryoverdue" DoCmd.OpenReport "rptDPmntovrdue", acViewPreview
I am having problems with the "where overdue > 0" statement. It is asking me for parameter value for overdue. How can I get this to automatically filter out any values that are negative - in other words, don't report on equipment that is not past its maintenance interval due date.
Also, I think there is a way around how I am naming my query in the createquerydef function because later I just delete the query after the report is run. Is there a better way to do that.
I have a query form that allows user to search by two criteria (in which, user can select "And" or "Or" clause for the two criteria). I also allow user to filter the results by date range. On the form, I have two command button, one will prompt the results in a query table, and the other will prompt a report.
Problem 1 I manage to prompt report with a date range (i.e. two unbound text boxes for start date and end date). But, I dont' manage to disable the filter if the date range is null. Below is the code for this report command button. Should I use a toggle button to make a select case?
Private Sub cmdReport_Click() Dim varItem As Variant Dim strDocName As String Dim str1MainCate As String Dim str2MainCate As String Dim str2MainCateCondition As String Dim strDate As String Dim strSQL As String Dim strFilter As String ' Build criteria string for 1st ComboBox For Each varItem In Me.fstMainCate.ItemsSelected str1MainCate = str1MainCate & ",'" & Me.fstMainCate.ItemData(varItem) & "'" Next varItem If Len(str1MainCate) = 0 Then str1MainCate = "Like '*'" Else str1MainCate = Right(str1MainCate, Len(str1MainCate) - 1) str1MainCate = "IN(" & str1MainCate & ")" End If ' Build criteria string for 2nd Combo Box For Each varItem In Me.SecMainCate.ItemsSelected str2MainCate = str2MainCate & ",'" & Me.SecMainCate.ItemData(varItem) & "'" Next varItem If Len(str2MainCate) = 0 Then str2MainCate = "Like '*'" Else str2MainCate = Right(str2MainCate, Len(str2MainCate) - 1) str2MainCate = "IN(" & str2MainCate & ")" End If ' Get 1toggle button condition If Me.optAnd2MainCate.Value = True Then str2MainCateCondition = " AND " Else str2MainCateCondition = " OR " End If ' Build SQL statement strSQL = " SELECT NewsClips.IssueDate, NewsClips.Title_Eng, NewsClips.Titile_Chi, NewsClips.NewsSource, NewsClips.[1CategoryMain], NewsClips.[1Sub-Category], NewsClips.[2CategoryMain], NewsClips.[2Sub-Category], NewsClips.hyperlink, NewsClips.FirstTwoPara, NewsClips.Notes, NewsClips.attachment FROM NewsClips " & _ "WHERE NewsClips.[1CategoryMain] " & str1MainCate & _ str2MainCateCondition & "NewsClips.[2CategoryMain] " & str2MainCate & ";" ' Build criteria string for Date If Not IsNull(Me![dateTo]) Then strDate = strDate & " NewsClips.IssueDate Between #" + Format(Me![datefrom], "mm/dd/yyyy") + "# AND #" & Format(Me![dateTo], "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#" 'Format(Me.dateTo, "mm/dd/yy") Else strDate = strDate & " NewsClips.IssueDate >= #" + Format(Me![datefrom], "mm/dd/yyyy") + "#" End If ' filter string strFilter = strDate ' Open report strDocName = "RptCateDateQry" DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewDesign, , strFilter With Reports(strDocName) .RecordSource = strSQL .Filter = strFilter .FilterOn = True End With DoCmd.Save acReport, strDocName DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewPreview Exit_cmdReport_Click: End Sub
Problem 2 I have no idea how to filter the query results by date range in the query table. Below is the code of the query table button, which do not offer the filter feature. Would really appreciate it if you can give me some advice.

Sorry for posting this question again, as I thought it's better to make it a seperate posting, rather than a reply to my early post. Your advice will be greatly appreicated.
I am using MS Acess2000 and need to make a report that will be passed around with production work. My primary key is the invoice number of the work order. Currently to open an invoice i have a macro, attached to a query with the following qualifiers; Like [Enter invoice]
This pulls up the current record fine. for the form and flags the folloing in the property filter sectin of the form
(((([CustomerTableMasterRef].[Invoice]) Like [Enter invoice])))
PART 2
Now I am trying to use microsofts how to filter a report using a forms filter... This picks up on the Invoice query as shown above but does not just insert the query results...
Is there better code or another way to approach this... Currently i am using:
Name:cmdOpenReport Caption: Open Report OnClick: [Event Procedure]
Private Sub CmdOpenReport_Click() If Me.Filter = "" Then MsgBox "Open an Invoice First" Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomers", acViewPreview, , Me.Filter End If End Sub
Using this code not only does my report not detect the correct fields to import data (no data is filled in) but it requerys the invoice or atleast should, which I could do with out all of that code...
I have a table that has the fields Scheme no, Title, Area, Pole No, Rate No, Description, Quantity. Each Scheme No has a number of Poles attached to it, and subsequently each Pole has a number of different rates attached (eg of table shown below)
On the corresponding form I have ID No, Title and Area in the Form header as they are the same for all fields. Therefore in the detail section I want the rest of the fields. The problem I have is I want the user to be able to choose a pole no from a combo box and show up only the corresponding rates to that pole. So for instance below the user could select in the combo box Pole no YP08 and only the rates used on that pole would show up (in this case it would be just HV99 and its description).
I am using Access Application with Orcale Db as backend and this application is already in production. The problem is.. USers Complained that the system is slow, this is because there is refresh (requery) for each Insert (When they click submit, that particular record is inserted and then a refresh has to be done to bring only unused member IDs on the User screen), i had used a Sql query using NOT IN , then i realized and now changed it to NOT EXISTS, but with this new query , if i test recordset. EOF , even though the query returns more than 13000 ..records, EOF sets to TRUE and the other part (not supposed to) gets executed. I really cant figure out why, i took the same query put it in query builder in Access and ran it , it gave 13000 records..but in VBA , this recordset is not giving expected results and so..i am totally confused..The part of the Code is shown below.
Code:newquery = " SELECT A.MEMBER_ID, A.MEMBER_NAME, A.ADDRESS_LINE1.................. FROM TABLE A WHERE NOT Exists ( SELECT '' FROM TABLE B where A.MEMBER_ID =B.MEMBER_ID)AND A.MATCH_LEVEL <> 0 ORDER BY A.MATCH_LEVEL DESC"rst1.Open newquery, Cnt, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimisticIf rst1.EOF = False ThenForm_PHS_ASSIGN.RequeryForm_PHS_ASSIGN_SUB.RequeryElse MsgBox " No records to Process!" End If
EVEn though it should requery , it gives a message No records to process which is wrong. It works with NOT IN.... BUT VERY SLOW, NOT EXISTS IS FAST BUT DOES NOT GIVE ME WHAT I WANT..
I have a field of user inputed data. The data are dates. The standardized way we'd like dates entered is DMMDDYYYY. The first D is inconsequential, it just needs to be present, whereas M means month, the D means day, and the Y means year.
I would like to filter my results to ONLY see the data that has been inputed correctly. Can you filter data in a query based on formatting, and if yes, how so?
(The title is somewhat misleading because I don't want to filter the results necessarily, I just want the incorrectly entered data to not even show up period)
Not sure whether this really belongs in the Forms, or VBA or forum, picked Forms because I think it stems from that, despite probably involving VBA in the solution...
I'm getting used to using filter by form and find it quite useful for those off-the-cuff queries, however, it is possible to 'capture' the records so that the results of the filtering can be passed to a readymade report (so that they can be printed out in a more presentable manner than the table view)? (To what would the Record Source of the report be set?)
I have a report containing all the fields from my "main table". I want to create buttons on a from that will filter information from the report. For instance, I have a field titled "Priority". I want to create a button that will filter the report to only show records with a "Level 1" priority. Is there anyway I can do this using VBA?
I've created a table (Films). One of the fields is linked to another table (People). The table 'People' is a list of people with a categorization next to them (e.g. actor, director etc)
Is there a way that I can create a field called 'Actors' in the table 'Films' and for the drop down only to display those people who have been categorized as an actor?
I am having some kind of problem. A query in Acces that is used to find results in the DB is asking 2 time's te input.
And there is no way that the input boxes is asking to do this twice..
here is the Query,
SELECT tblHotlines.Hotlinenummer, tblHotlines.Vestigingsnummer, tblDealers.Postcode, tblHotlines.Datum_hotline, tblBestellingen.Chassisnummer, tblBestellingen.Onderdeelnummer, tblBestellingen.[Uitleverings datum], tblBestellingen.[Vervangende auto ingezet?] FROM (tblHotlines LEFT JOIN tblBestellingen ON tblHotlines.Hotlinenummer = tblBestellingen.Hotlinenummer) LEFT JOIN tblDealers ON tblHotlines.Vestigingsnummer = tblDealers.Vestigingsnummer WHERE (((tblHotlines.Vestigingsnummer) Like [Geef het vestigingsnummer op] & "*") AND ((tblDealers.Postcode) Like [geef evt een gedeelte van de postcode:] & "*") AND ((tblHotlines.Datum_hotline) Like [Geef de datum op:] & "*") AND ((tblBestellingen.Chassisnummer) Like [Geef het chassisnr op:] & "*") AND ((tblBestellingen.Onderdeelnummer) Like [geef evt het onderdeelnr op] & "*"));
Qhat could be the problem that Access is running a Query twice before getting results
I'm new to Access, but a coworker has a huge project to undertake. There are over 200 queries that produce 1 row results for each query. She's been cutting that row and pasting it into Excel 200 times. Is there an easy way to insert them 1-by-1 into Excel or prefereably Access?
BTW, the columns are the same on the query results. I'll keep investigating while I wait for the experts to answer.
So I'm having timing issues trying to print data from an Access (actually SQL Server) based query to a Excel Spreadsheet. Basically I'm trying to get around using MS-Query and last week I didn't seem to have any problem as far as performance. However, when i tried running today it seems I've had a slow down of at least 500%. The data I'm trying to print is quite large (few hundred records and about 140 fields) so I expect some performance issues. Like I said though i just can't undestand the decrease. Possibly machine performance?
Anyhow, I've tracked the bottle neck and no suprise it is in the loop, I'm just suprised it takes so long to loop through the recordset.
Here's my code, any help will be appreciated?
'Generate grid to dump data If intRecordSetCount > 0 Then rst.MoveFirst 'Loop through length and width and display results Do Until rst.EOF intRSTField = 0 intFieldCount = intField For intIndex = 1 To intColumnCount
I have an Access 2010 application that talks to SQL Server. Part of the application creates tables on the SQl Server and inserts data to it (I know SQL Server has its on data inport/export wizard and bulk insert capabilities but for reasons outside of my control it needs to be done from Access). So I have a connection to the SQl Server and i have VBA that happily executs SQL statements on the SQl Server. The problem is I want to return a recordset from the result of a SQL query issued to the SQL Server. The idea being to check for the presence of tables already created, and if so, append to the already existing table, otherwise if it does not exist, create it and insert data to it.Ive tried the following code but it seems no recordset is being returned:
Set objConnection = New ADODB.Connection objConnection.Open "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=10.200.3.14;trusted_connection=yes; DATABASE=" & Me.Combo54 strSQL = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME = '" & Me.Combo54 & "'" strSQL = "USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL Set Rst = cmd.Execute("USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL)
I have a query that includes several columns, one of those columns shows returns on investment as a percentage. I need to figure out the annualised returns on investment using the following excel formula
{=PRODUCT(1+B1:B24)-1^(12/24)-1}
This formula gathers the percentages for the last two years then provides an annualized amount.
I'm just wondering whether this is possible to apply to the query so that when I open the query it can provide me with the 2 year annualized statistics.
I'm creating an item look-up form with 2 criteria that I wan't to auto-filter as the user types. I'm placing my code in the Change event of the textbox, and only calling the .text for the current textbox (.value or no property at all for the other). The filter works smoothly and as intended until it returns no results in my table, and then it pops me with the error. I've tried forcing focus to the textbox in different places throughout the code, but to no avail. If I use the .value or no property for the current textbox, I'm not getting the CURRENT text, but the old text before it was changed, so the filter doesn't work properly.
Private Sub txtVendor_Change() Me.FilterOn = True Me.Filter = _ "((strSearchVendor Like '*" & Me.txtVendor.Text & "*' AND strSearchItem LIKE '*" & Me.txtPartNum & "*'))" Me.txtVendor.SelStart = Len(Me.txtVendor.Text) End Sub
It usually pops the error on the last line "Len(Me.txtVendor.Text)", but I've had it do it on the Me.Filter line as well (only when debugging and messing with next statement placement).
Access 2010. This has worked before but I don't understand why this is not working for me now. When i select an item in a combo box in a form and click on a button to run a query with the results, the query is blank. If I run the query alone, it prompts for an item, I can type it in and it works. I have even tried the DoCmd on the combo box but still same results. Attached is a dummy down DB. If you run the query, it will prompt, select Paper or Rock, see results. But run the form, the drop down will not show the results. What am I missing?
I have kept the names as simple as I can for the example sake to which I can substitute my names in after.
I have a split form - form1, I have a check box on this form - checkbox1 - That I would like to use to make only the checked results from the table - table1 - show and if it is not checked to show all the results. How would I go about doing this? The table field is called field1.
Iam new to access need some help to solve this, iam unable to save filtered condition as a query in access. when i click on file > save as option i have only three list i can choose from Form,Report and data access page . I want to save the condition as a query which iam unable to do. Any help in this would be appreciated
I use the follwing code to filter a report based on the listbox selection on a form. Below is the code I use, the problem it will error if the results have an apostrophe in the string.

I have a Main form with a sub form.The main form is a customer record (form view), and the sub form is all other customers (same fields) datasheet view.I have a navigation bar to filter (using different queries) the results in the sub form
same postcode Same company (different location) everyone except Main form customer
I cannot get a different filter (Query) to show only customers whose name begins with the same letter as the customer in the main form?I have been trying Like but think I am referencing it wrong, as it prompts me to enter a value rather than using the value in the field in the main form.This is what I have in the query (of the subform)

I have an access database in which I have a table A and table B. Table A has a list of 200 website URLs. Table B has one column ID and another criteria.
I want to create a query to filter websites list which does not have values or characters from table b.
I have these values in table B that I want to be filtered out or not shown in my URL Select Query
.org .gov .du .pk .dk
I would keep on adding more criteria into this so criteria table so adding new criteria into table B should not disturb our filtering.
Below is what I have tried but in vain and it says atmost you can atmost one criteria row in sub query
SELECT tableA.WEB_ADDRESS FROM tableA WHERE ((([tableA].[wEB_ADDRESS] Not Like '*'+(SELECT * FROM tableB)+'*')=True));

I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.
When I'm applying a sort and filter in a form, Access is updating the Filter and Order By properties of the form, so that it is possible to re-use in conjunction with Filter on Load and Order By on Load properties. However, a consequence of this is that when the form is closed, it prompts the user whether they want to save the design of the form. I want to circumvent this as I don't want to re-use the sort and filter and I don't want to be prompted to save the design of the form.
Although I can circumvent this by closing the form using a method that doesn't prompt for saving, the additional complication here is that the form in question is in the Navigation subform of a Navigation Control. Hence when I click on a another Navigation button, it (not me) closes my current form and hence prompts me whether I want to save the design of the form (if I have been sorting and/or filtering). I can't see how to circumvent this and the prompting is resulting in unacceptable usability.
