I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works???

I have installed on my PC, WindowsXP sp.1, MSaccess versions 97 and XP.
After I have tested some databases, MSaccess 97 don't works successfully more, but XP version works good. I can't modify files mdb. Access works like in run-time mode: bars and commands reduced, standard icon of access absent, database window absent, ecc.
If macro autoexec or a form that play at the start of mdb are present, mdb works but it is impossibile to modify it. Otherwise mdb dont works, I can see access window with only menu files and window.
I have removed access and after yet installed it, but it don't work successfully.
maybe other application leaved files (or modification in file registry) that install procedure of access97 cant rewrite? And that dispose access 97 to work in run-time mode (or like)?
I am hopeless. Can You help me? Can you give me a list of files to remove, or list of modification to do in registry?

I have made a query with to take the percent difference of two mileages and then if they are greater than 2.5% to put a 1 or if not a 0. I try and put a 1 in criteria in order to only see the ones that are changed by greater than 2.5% and I get the divide by zero error. Any ideas how to fix this problem.
Here is my IFF statement
diff: IIf((Abs(([Mile1]-[Mile2]))/[Mile1]>=0.025),1,0)
Hi All
I have been running a query to find out the name and addresses of some of our customers but some data keeps coming in to the results that i dont want to see.
The data is in the Name column so I have built a second table and put the names of the items i do not wish to see in the second table using a left outer join and selecting null or not null. This works great if i know all the combinations of the name such as smith i.e d smith david smith, sam smith dd smith etc.
I would like to enter Smith into the table and have my query return everything except with the word smith in.
I can code this into the query with not like *smith* but that means everytime i want to go into it i would have to enter the query not the front end
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity
from(
SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center
FROM [Open Items]
)a
left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON
(a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity)
Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
heres one that just don't add up
from the beginning,
i've got a form that puts data into a table from a text box named txtcomments, the table allows 255 chars to be stored the comments are show later using a copy of the input form, all this works great. now i'm taking this data and inserting it into another table using sql inset in the vb editor so i can play with it and leave the original in tact everything works fine on my test machine but when i transfere the database to the server i am only permitted to enter 127 chars in the text box i've narrowed it down to the sql statement and know that where the error is occuring ive tried deleting things and reinstalling im just going round in circles and when i transfere the database back to the test machine everything works fine the test machine uses access 2003 but the server uses 2000 this is the only differance
any help would be god like

ps sql statement as follows looks fine to me,
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblHistory VALUES([txtcomments]);"
Been using simple access for a while now, and this problem is new on me...
Ive got two tables. One has data listed by OLD MATERIAL number (material) and the other has the new Material Number to convert to...
I wanted to simply add a column onto the table to show the new material number (just like a vlookup in excel)...
the odd thing is, i've done this loads of times before and tis worked... Anyone able to help?? :confused: :confused: :confused:
SELECT [2005 DATA].*, MatConversion.[WDB Material], MatConversion.[wdb name], MatConversion.Category, MatConversion.Conversion
FROM [2005 DATA] LEFT JOIN MatConversion ON [2005 DATA].Mat = MatConversion.[Celtic material No];
Okay i have 3 tables
I would like to join them all by a field called twp, but the problem is in some tables the field twp might contain more or less rows than table2 and table3 or vice versa.
Is there a way to include all the rows from all tables in a query.
Suppose if table2 has a column which table1 doesnt have, then it will just show table1 column as blank etc..
Iv tried just doing an outer join on all the tables but for some reason access doesnt allow it.
Thanks in advance
I have a problem that seems like it could be very similar to this post from a few years ago
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=46645&highlight=vba332.dll
My problem is I dont know how to use Access other then open a program. This is for a customer and they dont know how to do it either as someone else devoloped their database.
Basically it looks like the database is corrupt but I can not open it using a newer version of access because it has some permissions and I dont know how to go about making my access "look" like the other computer.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi all,
I created a database for my company and it works very well but, I need it or something to track the way I pay comisions. Its a type of multi-level company and pay rates vary. Also, once someone hits the top level they now join in profit sharing. The profit sharing part is the tough part becase say person A is at the top he is a team leader and he gets money not only from his sales, but also from the people in his group below him. It must also be able to pay the correct person if someone quits, say Person D, the system knows that it all off person D's people under him go up to person C now. I hope this isnt to confussing, but im starting to confuss myself as im trying to set this up.
Is access able to keep track of an organization like this or should I try to use something else?
Thanks.

What I want to do, is have an unbound form, user enters data in to it, then clicks on a 'save' button which then writes the data to a new record within a table
I have got no idea what it is called so find it hard to do the search.
Im trying to make a simple database in access , so far all is going well but im stuck with the inventory.
I have "products" table with Id [autonum],name[text],price[money], provider[number], stock[number]
Providers table with Id[autonum] ,name [Text],tel[number],
Employes table with Id[autonum], name[text],tel [number]
and i have Sales table with Id[autonum],date[date],employer[number],product[number],quantity[number],total price[money]
I have relationships between table.provider and provider.name then sales.employer with employer.name and sales.product witht products.name.
Now what i want to do is that every time that i make a sale it modify my stock number on the products table. I think the proper way is just to calculate stock every time i need it but i dont know how to do that either :D
Ill upload my db but i have to tell you that is in spanish so if you haveany question im here to answer.Thanks a lot to all
Hello,
I ve performed a query on a table and now have a set of results which is fine for example £1.56, £1.98, £87.90 (ive set the values in to a currency format), now i want to calculate the total so i have run another query on the last and used 'sum' in the 'total' this calculates the value but rounds it to the nearest integer for example 91!
the thing is i have done this many times before and havent had this problem! i cant understand it, its seriously doing my head in. Ive tried allsorts including the 'round' function which doesnt alter it.
any help would be appreciated
thanks

Attached is a pdf of the query window showing the relationships and table structure; (sorry for the quality) the linkage is also permanent at the relationship window. I created a form (columnar) of Rooms; loaded a subform (columnar) of the projects; and then loaded the students (tabular) as a subform on the projects subform. The data entry is flawless; tabs through each field and form to form in sequence.
After entering several rooms data I tested it at the query level by loading the three tables: rooms, projects, and students, and the permanentely established linkage with junctions came in automatically. I thought I was home free--but when I run the query, I get zero records.
When I attempt various joins, thinking this will yeild all records from the many tables and their match, I get "ambiguous outer joins" and it says to run a separate query and add it to the SQL Statement?
Thanks for any help,
Almost funtional in Ann Arbor........
Oh, and thanks Pat Hartman for the tip on linkage -- although I may have screwed it up anyway.
Hey Folks,
I'm trying to write a query that will get all the records from one table, and only certain records from others. (Access2000) I'm getting a "join expression not supported" error however, so my question is two fold.
1. Does Access2000 support an inner and outer join the in same query?
2. Does my query below just have a syntax error thats causing the problem?
Here is the SQL, i've posted a rough table schema below too. (please note i'm using ColdFusion to query the database, so the #tstiid# is a variable passed to the query)
SELECT ((iss.iid, pg.pgid, pg.pg_name
FROM issues iss
LEFT JOIN issuespages ip ON ip.iid = iss.iid)
RIGHT JOIN pages pg ON pg.pgid = ip.pgid
WHERE iss.iid = #tstiid#
Database layout:
Table 1, named: issues
iid | issuename | a ton of other fields
------------------------
1 | April 2006 |
2 | May 2006 |
table 2: pages
pgid | pagename | pagecontent | etc
-------------------------------------
1 | Contact us | To contact us, use the following...
2 | News | Upcoming news...
table 3: issuespages
ipid | iid | pgid
--------------------------
1 | 1 | 1
2 | 1 | 2
Thanks in advance for anyones time!

I'm new to the Access SQL world but I have a fairly complicated query that needs to be written for a project I'm working on. I am having trouble grasping the join concepts in access. My Query so far is:
SELECT u.user_logon_tx, ur.aff_sec_role_id, r.sec_role_ds, c.sec_cls_ds, o.sec_obj_ds, ci.aff_sec_cls_id, ci.sec_cls_item_ds, IIf(p.perm_in Is Null,0,p.perm_in) AS perm
FROM aff_sec_cls_item AS ci, aff_sec_user AS u, aff_sec_role AS r, aff_sec_user_role AS ur, aff_sec_obj AS o, aff_sec_cls AS c, aff_sec_obj_item_role_perm p,
ci LEFT OUTER JOIN p ON ci.aff_sec_cls_item_id=p.aff_sec_cls_item_id
WHERE u.aff_sec_user_id=1
And ur.aff_sec_user_id=u.aff_sec_user_id
And ur.aff_sec_role_id=r.aff_sec_role_id
And o.aff_sec_obj_id=1155
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=ci.aff_sec_cls_id
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=c.aff_sec_cls_id
And ur.aff_sec_role_id=p.aff_sec_role_id
And o.aff_sec_cls_id=p.aff_sec_cls_id
And o.aff_sec_obj_id=p.aff_sec_obj_id;
I have gotten it to work by using just the tables I'm doing the outer join on but when I add everything else I get the Ambiguous Join error. I wish I was using Oracle Thanks for the help.
I have created a database in which I have three Fields.
1. Date Joined
2. Renewal Date
3. Member/Renewal
When I type in the date a person joins our club, I have made the renewal date come up displaying a year ahead, when renewal of membershiip is due.
I would like to be able to put in the date joined date and have the field 3 show Member and then when the renewal date is reached, to have in automatically change to Renewal.
It is probaly a simply formula but I can not get it right.
Please Help.

Hi guys,
Could anyone give me a solution to protect a table and all the records in there so they can never be deleted when being viewed.
Many thanks, Ben
please can some1 help??
i created a form using wizard to display the information in three tables but wen the form is in form view theres nothing displayed yet in design view all the information is present. please please some1 help:(
1.) What is the File Extension associated with Microsoft Access database files?.........MAF or MAD
2.) A Field Name may contain a maximum of ________ characters.
3.) A ____________________ determines the kind of values that users can store in a field.
4.) A Field Description is required for all data fields......T/F
5.) Use of Field Descriptions dramatically increases the size of the database and, in general, should be avoided.....T/F
6.) FirstName, PhoneNumber, and ZipCode are fields which typically include an Input Mask.......T/F
7.) A Field Name is required, but a Field Caption is optional.....T/F
8.) A 5 digit Zip Code should use this Data Type......
9.) An INDEX speeds up updates, but may slow searches and sorting on a field.......T/F
10.) A Default Value is a value that is automatically entered in a field for new records......T/F
Hello All,
Beginner level question!
I am working on a schema that might need outer joins for some of the queries and thereby reports I will need to produce. So, I wanted to get an idea from the pros about the following strategy:
How about leaving all the joins in the Relationships to begin with as Inner Join and change them to Outer Join as required (for a given Query. I believe this is possible)? What are the pros and cons of this approach.
Thank you
Hi!
Thanks for all help so far, this forum is great ;)
I have 3 tables: Order, Product and Names.
I want to list All orders, no matter if they hold a key to a product or not, and no matter if this product has been given a name (in the table name) or not.
To make it even more complicated, the customer can give upp to 16 namesuggestions, they are all numbered from 1-16. But If they are given a namesuggestion, i only want to present the first one (nr 1).
Relations: 1 order -> 0 or 1 product.
1 order -> 0 or up to 16 names, of which i only want to display nr 1.
Any suggestions?
I am thinking of preparing the data in a temporary table, but would be glad if i did not need to do so....
I'm the dummy in question. I'm new to Access and have a fairly simple database that I'm using to find potential customers. I am targeting them by two criteria using two different queries (both queries are looking at different fields of the same table). I want to create a combined query that pulls ALL of the results from both of my target queries. Searching around this forum I see that I need to create an Outer Join which Access doesn't exactly do. I also see that there are ways to simulate this, but I can't seem to figure out those ways. If someone could please explain this to me in a very simple way, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a database in which i am trying to create some forms in order to search for records. The database contains several tables. Some tables are linked using a compound key while others have a single PK. I created the search form which has different searching criteria. Once a user selects the criteria, they hit the search button (there are different buttons for each type of search) the button opens up a form to display all the data. The problem is that there are many tables to report on. I created a form with a subform. The tables associated with the main form are all being retrieved fine. however the subform doesn't seem to work. I created the subform using a query to select all the fields from the desired tables, i gave this query a criteria based on the main form so that the Id's would match. (ie. Main form ID = Firstable in subform.ID)
I got a blank sheet in the subform when i used the search. i presumed that my query was not pulling records because of the referential integrity rules. i went in and changed the relationship rules so that it would include all records from the first table and matching records from the second table. (middle option in the list when editing a relationship) I now get the following error when i try to run the query.
"The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a separate query that performs the first join and then include that query in your SQL statement."
Could someone please tell me what this means as the help is... how shall we say it.. written in true Microsoft Fashion.
And though it tells me how to fix it, i'm not really sure what it's telling me to do. I am using Access2003 But the Database is in an access 200 file format.
Thanks.
