Hi. - Please do not lecture me: I inherited this database and it's table designs.
I have multiple tables, each containing a SSN text field and multiple other text fields. There is some overlap in SSNs among tables.
I need to create a report with a subform for each table.
The user would ideally be asked for and enter a specific SSN and a specific string. The result would be the report showing the SSN and each table's field that contains the string.
ie, parameters would be: Specify SSN and for the string would be: Enter TEXT VAUE.
SSNs are simple enough, but the text string entered would need to be, for example: LIKE "2400*"
How do I do this easily so that each text field in each table is searched for that string, without having the user re-enter and re-enter and re-enter... it multiple times?
(I do not know very much VBA, so other ideas?)
I am creating a database that tracks reports that are generated from people in the field...The statistics are tracked on a 28 day cycle, beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday. Every week the 28 day period loses the first week and gains a week on the end. I need to develop a way to generate the queries for the reports based on a clock that automatically "calculates" the current 28-day period.
I am trying to make a simple inventory control system. This system will only record input of products and output of products. Explanation: This is a catering service company. I buy tomatoes, rice, oinions, Oils, meat, ect. When we buy this products they usaly come in different packages. The rice can come in 100 pound bag, 50 pound bag or just by the pound. The onions can be bought by the bucket, half bucket, dozen, half dozen ect. The oil can be bought by 100 gallon barril, half barril, Gallon, half gallon, pint ect. The meat by the pound.
I am able to make the a simple invoice and PO application, the only problem is that I want to be able to select what type of packaging the product has and the invoice or PO subforms.
I started with a simple product table, I than created a packaging table and a package detail table. This gave me the chance to create a subform on the product form where I can choose what type of packaging this product uses and also tell it how many units the package has.
So far so good. Now I created a Chef table "this is my Chef to whom I give the product to for cooking" I than created an authorization slip table "this is like an invoice table" and ofcourse a authorization detail table "this is where I pick the products that I give the cook" once I print this out the chef will be able to go to the warehouse and retreive the product.
What I want to do in the detail subform is to be able to pick the product and the type of packaging that I am giving them from a dropdown box then it will automaticaly show only the packaging I assinged to that product and give me the units . This way if I pick the type of packaginh name 100 pound it will put 100 units in the quantity field automaticaly.
So basicaly is an invoice form with its detail but on the detail I am able to pick the product and the packaging that I am giving the chef.
Can you guys guide me on the right direction on how to do thsi?
A friend of mine who is in real estate is looking to learn about Excel. My knowledge is very limited. I can Conditional Format, IF, VLOOKUP etc but I have no idea what can be done with different Sheets in a file.
For example, in one set of data he has it is details on properties for rent. Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3 are for 1, 2 or 3bedroom properties. I assume if a 4 bedroom property is for rent then Sheet4 would be done.
With Excel how easy (or hard) would it be to link data between the sheets. For example, show the properties where the lease is about to end (or whatever) and whereby properties that met the search criteria would comprise 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units and hence be in all 3 sheets.
If what is in 3 sheets was placed in one sheet can Excel do much with that or are you stuck with data that is spread over what appears to be several acres:D
If you can do this in Excel would you need to learn a lot about Excel. To put it another way, this is very easy for anyone here to do what he wants in Access. However, for someone starting from scratch would Excel allow him to get up to speed and functioning easier and quicker than Access
I have supplier records where the supplier name in each record is different. It may be Supplier ABC, AB,C, ABC!, ABC Inc., or several other variations. In addition each of these suppliers has their own supplier ID. The supplier ID can be one of 5 different versions since the data is from 5 different ERP systems. I am trying to create one table that does not have the supplier listed many times, but has one correct name and one ID that will be able to link back to the original file with all the different names and IDs. I hope this is a good explananation. Any advise?
i'm writing an Access database to quote for windows & doors, there are many variants like style, width, height, glass types, security specifications and about 4 other options.
what would be the best way of working out how to add the extras for each option,
The price would be based on the style first, then depending on width and height, then on what options were ticked . i.e securtity spec yes/no, then on what glass type, the price gfor that would be based on the entered width x height etc.
is it possible to do a look up, like you can in Excel where it looks at at grid/matrix based on style number and width x height to get the price, but then how would i get it to add the other options which will depend on size and number of openings.
Hi. Back again with a badly designed number of tables that I inherited. Anyway...
I have 20 tables each with an ID field and a dozen-or-so text fields. - (I planned on using a master report with sub-reports, but perhaps I am ahead of myself here.)
I need the user to enter the ID and a value which would only appear in one of the dozen+ fields for that record, in that table. I set up queries with parameters for the ID and the desired text value. However, when run, I get the correct client record, but also all of the fields for that record... Not only the field with the desired value.
Is there a 'simple' way to do this knowing ho wmany possible fields froma ll of the tavbles would have to be searched? And not all tables have the same field names!
I'm trying to sort a combo box alphabetically except for one value which is always at the top of the list.
The row source of the combo box is a query. record to remain at the top of the list is static- same value and ID number always. I've fiddled around with a few things, but at the end of the day, i'm just not smart enough! (or its not possible -which i doubt).. any suggestions? cheers.
I have created a report from the results of a query. The query has 2 parameters.
SELECT Nonconformances.DateRaised, Nonconformances.Customer FROM Nonconformances WHERE (((Nonconformances.DateRaised) Between [Enter start date] And [Enter end date])) OR (((Nonconformances.Customer) Like [Enter customer name] & "*"));
Now the problem is that I have been asked to add the search criteria to the report header. If the search criteria came from a form, no problem, but the user enters the criteria into a parameter box generated by the query. So if the start date was 1/5/05 and end date was 31/12/05 and the customer search was F.C, how do I capture this and show it on the report?
I have a date field. I have Between [Please enter second begin date] And [Please enter second end date] as my criteria so that the user may enter two dates. But, I want the extreme dates to be included in my data.
For Example: If the user enters 1/1/2005 and 1/31/2005, I want the information for the 1st and 31st to be included. How can I do this using just about the same criteria statement?
Below is a query in SQL view that is driving me crazy.
When ran it ask for a StartDate, EndDate, StartDate, EndDate.
Can someone please look and see if they can determin where the criteria is coming in from. In design view there is no criteria set up to ask for dates. Also, there is no parameter set in the parameters box.
SELECT tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber, tblGroupInformation.strGroupName, tblGroupInformation.strGroupNumber, tblSystems.ysnSystemWork, tblSystems.dtmSystemWorkComplete, tblGroupInformation.dtmDateMembershipReceived, tblGroupInformation.strRegion, tblBooksAndContracts.ysnNeedBook, tblBooksAndContracts.ysnNeedContract, tblBooksAndContracts.intBookAndContractCarveOut, CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent]) AS [Book Complete], tblBooksAndContracts.dtmContractDistributedToMarke ting AS [Contract Complete], CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing]) AS [B/C Complete], ([tblGroupInformation.dtmDateMembershipReceived]+[tblBooksAndContracts].[intBookAndContractCarveOut]+30) AS ECD, CompareDates([tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing],[tblSystems].[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[tblGroupInformation].[dtmDateMembershipReceived]) AS [Master Complete Date], tblGroupInformation.dtmEffectiveDate, tblGroupInformation.strRegion, tblGroupInformation.strNRC FROM (tblBooksAndContracts INNER JOIN tblSystems ON tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber = tblSystems.intTrackingNumber) INNER JOIN tblGroupInformation ON (tblSystems.intTrackingNumber = tblGroupInformation.intTrackingNumber) AND (tblBooksAndContracts.intTrackingNumber = tblGroupInformation.intTrackingNumber) WHERE (((EntryIsComplete([ysnSystemWork],[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[ysnNeedIDCard],[dtmMailIDCards],[ysnNeedBook],[ysnNeedContract],[ysnNeedDraft],[ysnNeedFlyer],[ysnBookAndContractComplete]))=Yes) AND ((IsBetween([startDate],[endDate],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmBookShipped],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmASODraftsSent],[tblBooksAndContracts].[dtmContractDistributedToMarketing],[tblSystems].[dtmSystemWorkComplete],[dtmMailIDCards],[tblGroupInformation].[dtmDateMembershipReceived]))=Yes));
As well as when it does run, and you enter the span dates, if the field is blank it inputs 12:00 am in the field and includes it in the query. I checked the tables and it is not set up to input 12:00 am as a default value, nor is it stored as 12:00 am in the tables.
I am at my wits end here and any help/advice would be helpful.
If this does't make sense let me know and I will try and explain further.
Thanks in advance!
*please disregard the grammer, I am typing this fast before I head out to get the kids..a mommies job is never done!*:eek:
Please look at this sql statement and tell me where the error is. When I try to open the recordset, I get a "Too few parameters. Expected 1" error. That kind of error usually goes with missing # on dates or ' on text
DateTime is a DateTime field that defaults to Now().
The problem appears to be in the dates because when I comment out all after the user parameter, it works, and taking out the "AND Used Is Null" doesn't help.
sqlstr = "SELECT * " & _ "FROM tbl_Usage " & _ "WHERE User = '" & UsrNm & "' " & _ "AND DateTime >= #" & Date & "# and DateTime < #" & DateAdd("d", Date, 1) & "# AND Used Is Null"
This is from the immediate window ?sqlstr SELECT * FROM tbl_Usage WHERE User = 's5ucba' AND DateTime >= #9/21/2006# and DateTime < #9/22/2006# AND Used Is Null
I am using 'Like "*" & [Forms]![Template]![Combo433] & "*"' in a query to a combo box on a form so if I have nothing selected in the combo all data is shown, except this does not show any null values!
Can any advise on how I can adapt this to allow for null values!
I have designed an access database for an organisation. The database is basically all the people who work for an organisation, their addresses, the borough they work in and other details. I have deisgned a query that picks out all the people who work in a particular borough, by using parameters. So when I click a button, a box comes up and asks me to put in the borough and voila, I get a list of all the people who work in that borough. But what do I put in the parameter box, if I want the entire list of people in all the boroughs not just one particular borough?
I have a form that lets the user enter a beginning date and ending date in text boxes, then below that asks the user to choose a major category from a combo box. That works fine. The user the hits a command button below which opens a report. On the report is a chart based on the information they provide. This works well too. Also, the heading of my report contains the parameters in which the user gave to develop the report. The dates come up fine because I used a text box and put in =[Forms]![myformname]![parametername]. But this code does not work for a combo box. It will not pick up the choice that the user makes. Does anyone know how I can capture the answer so that I may display it in my report?
How would I go about creating a parameter that can search for all events that occurred in a particular month. I don't want the user to have know the exact date, just the month and year.
I have a report thats based on a table works well(thanks to the help from you guys) my problem is..When the parameter comes up to put in the customer name I would like to change that into a list box for spelling reasons, I have changed "customers" in all tables and quereies to look up list box but my parameter only comes up with a part for me to type the customer name.can this be changed? if so how please and I am a novice at this so please try and keep the help as straight forward as possible cheers
Hi, I have a Data Access Page which is generated on behalf of a query. Query uses one parameter field ,so when is started it promts with the form named Enter Parameters in which I have to input parameter value. So before the DAP is opened, first is displayed parameter form. I would like to change dimensions of that form(height, width) but I dont know how. I already tryied by opening DAP in design view & then in microsoft script editor but i couldn't find anything about this pop-up parameter form. Any suggestions are wellcome:rolleyes:
I am trying to strengthen an already developed database at my work. They had a form with five different text boxes, each one that would run a seperate query on the same table, and the results would open on a different page. I am trying to combine all these text search parameters from the form to a single query and have the result come up on the form. I have done every search I can thing of from a forum search, a google search, and just reading through query forum posts for about a day; but I still cannot tell what is wrong. If someone could look at my code, and see if I have a mistake, or if I'm even in the right direction. :confused:
SELECT FLIGHTS.[FINISH OD], FLIGHTS.[PIPE OD/SHAFT OD], FLIGHTS.PITCH, FLIGHTS.[TYPE OF MATERIAL], FLIGHTS.[BURNED OD], FLIGHTS.[BURNED ID], FLIGHTS.[RIGHT/LEFT HAND], FLIGHTS.PartNumber, FLIGHTS.COMMENTS, FLIGHTS.[START TIME], FLIGHTS.[FINISH TIME], FLIGHTS.PurchaseOrderNumber, FLIGHTS.QTY FROM FLIGHTS WHERE ((FLIGHTS.[FINISH OD]=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text25 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PITCH=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!text37 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.[TYPE OF MATERIAL]=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text32 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PartNumber=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!Text0 & "*") And (FLIGHTS.PurchaseOrderNumber=Forms![KNOWN BURN SIZES]!text36 & "*"));
The FLIGHTS is the main table, [KNOWN BURN TABLES] is the form that the parameters are entered. I want users to be able to enter any fields they want and leave others blank. Currently all I get is a blank query. Sorry if the answer seems obvious; I tried avoiding posting till I knew that I couldn't figure it out on my own.
After researching this issue I have not found a satisfactory solution to this issue.
I currently have 1 Access query that is the basis for my VBA code_ Sql statement. both Query statements work when debugged. However, I am getting this error on execution of the sql statement in my vba.
Dies here: '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I am using Access to run my database. I am using Coldfusion to power the website. What I need to do is be able to update some fields. The problems first start in the select query, however.
There are two different forms. One that is a select box that has the options of "Buyers", "Sellers", "Newsletter". Onchange the select box (named "page"). When I submit that box it needs to populate a second box. That box is populated with the information found in the table that is selected in the first box.
Here is the query that it is using to get the information to populate:
SELECT RE.Information, RE.Page FROM RE WHERE (((RE.Page)="#form.page#"));
Does anyone see a problem?
Here's the result:
] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
The error occurred in D:Inetpubaheart4homeadmineditpages.cfm: line 10
8 : SELECT RE.Information, RE.Page 9 : FROM RE 10 : WHERE (((RE.Page)="#form.page#")); 11 : </cfquery> 12 : </cfif>
I often use forms to select a parameter & date range for a subsequent report. Where I have chosen to use multiple combo boxes (two in this case)to select more than one parameter I have run into a problem. The report opens ok the first time but if I close it (report) and change my selection then the report refuses to open. Should I just requery the two combo boxes, is there something else or can't it be fixed?
