I have a database tracking customers and inventory, and I've tried to add in a feature where I can meet customers needs with future inventory. Key to this process is three tables:
tblCustomer - containing my customer information
tblInventory - with inventory data including a part number
tblNeeds - a table I've created for this purpose, containing CustomerID and Part Number.
Here's the premise: when speaking with a customer, I may learn they want a product I don't currently have in inventory, or may have never had in inventory, but that I may get in the future. I do this "on demand" in the form of a report, and it works really well ... except:
I have found that several similar products from the same supplier have similar product part numbers. What I would like to do is be able to match my query on a fractional part of the part number. In all cases, the part number would be the same over the first six characters (in a text field). Any ideas how I might do this? In my current query, I use a join, but I can't do that for fractional strings....
I've attached the query I am currently using (and running a bound report from this query):
SELECT DISTINCT tblCustomer.CustID, tblCustomer.CoName, tblInventory.ProductDescription, tblInventory.ProductPartNumber, tblInventory.UnitsAvailable, tblInventory.ProductID
FROM tblInventory INNER JOIN (tblCustomer INNER JOIN tblNeeds ON tblCustomer.CustID = tblNeeds.CustomerID) ON tblInventory.ProductPartNumber = tblNeeds.PartNo
WHERE (((tblInventory.UnitsAvailable)>0));
And what I want to do is match the tblInventory.ProductPartNumber on the tblNeeds.PartNo by matching only the first six characters....
Code: SELECT tblData2.Prefix, tblData2.LineNum, tblData2.Year, tblComments.comment, tblComments.Address FROM tblData2 LEFT JOIN tblComments ON tblData2.LineNum = (NumbersOnly([tblComments].[Address]) WHERE (((tblData2.MyYear)<1990)) ORDER BY tblData2.LineNum;
The NumbersOnly function returns a set of numbers from a custom formatted string. The above fails on the join (I think) but maybe there's another way of doing it?
I've have used the usual code format for creating a column of row numbers for my query, but it doesn't seem to work. Sequence: DCount("InventoryID","Chemical Location","InventoryID <=" & [InventoryID]) I got this error The Microsoft Office Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Chemical Location'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
So I tried this: Sequence: DCount("InventoryID","qexpFacilityInventory","InventoryID <=" & [InventoryID])And I got this error: The expression you entered as a query paramenter produced this error: Business Emergency Plans can't find the form 'frmMain' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code
I think my code doesn't work because its a join query; so I'm searching for an answer. I have attached an image of the query builder in Access 2007 to show my problem. Also I'm showing the SQL code. Can someone help me with putting row numbers in a Join Query "qexpFacilityInventory"? SELECT tblChemicalInventory.[Business Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Item Number], tblChemicalInventory.[Chemical Location], tblChemicalInventory.[Chemical Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Common Name], tblChemicalInventory.[Map ], tblChemicalInventory.[Grid ], tblChemicalInventory.[Largest Container], tblChemicalInventory.[Average Daily Amount], tblChemicalInventory.[Maximum Daily Amount], tblChemicalInventory.Units, tblChemicalInventory.[Storage Container], tblChemicalInventory.[Usage Purpose], tblChemicalInventory.[Annual Waste Amount], tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS Reviewer, tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS [Modified Yes/No], tblChemicalInventory.STATUS AS Comments FROM tblChemicalInventory INNER JOIN tblChemicalProperties ON tblChemicalInventory.ChemicalID = tblChemicalProperties.ChemicalID WHERE (((tblChemicalInventory.BusinessID)=[Forms]![frmMain]![ctlGenericSubform].[Form]![BusinessID]));
I think I know the answer but want to check. I've been asked to create a query, without querying a query first, but it's the only way I know.
I have two tables
Table1 will have data in a column that is 9 characters long ULCABC123 ULCABC124 ULCABC125 PLTABC123 PLTABC124
Table2 will have data in a column that is 6 characters long ULCABC PLTABC
Question: Can I create a Join from Table2 Field with the Left(Field,6) from Table1
I was thinking something like this. (but then I can't enter design mode) Query1 - Test
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Table2 INNER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.ORDDETTYPE = Left(Table1.ORDERDET,6) GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I presume the only way to do this is first query Table1 (and call Query2) and return the first 6 characters and the create another query (Query3 in this case) using Query2 field joined with Table2 field.
Query2
Code: SELECT Left([ORDERDET],6) AS NEWORDDET FROM Table1;
Query3
Code: SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION FROM Query2 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Query2.[NEWORDDET] = Table2.ORDDETTYPE GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;

I know the data is not normalized, but if I want to use the Year part of the string in a WHERE clause, how would I do that? or in other words how do I extract the Year from the string.
I am trying to extract the first instance of 3 numbers from a string using an update query to update another field in the same table(Master Equipment) titled "Code". the field is called "Equipment". the strings vary in length as well as the location of the 3 numbers needed, but I have examples of all possible locations the 3 number series could be located below. As you will notice, some fields do not contain 3 numbers together, for these I don't want to return a value.
and I'm trying to pull the max value of the number after the -e- for a given set of them. In this example, I'd want to return the number 70. I'm then going to use that to create the next ID and populate another field.
The IDs are not used as the primary key. And while the previous IDs used leading zeros inconsistently, new IDs will not have leading zeros.
Here's what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to pull the number after the -e- at all. I think this section here is the problem, even though the same logic works in a query:
Code: Public Function MaxArticleERef(hbID As Long) As Variant On Error GoTo err_handler Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSql As String Dim maxERef As Variant
I have to join multiple values into a string for summarizing data on reports and exports. This process in vba is taking up to 10 minutes to process and will get worse as the size of these reports grow.
My method so far is to query the individual items into a recordset, loop through the values, adding them to the string then return the string in the query.
Here is an example:
Public Function SO_Description(intSO As Integer) As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQLSelect As String SO_Description = "Profiles: " Set db = CurrentDb
I need to (accurately) calculate a rental period to fractions of a month. ie) 1/1/2006 to 2/14/2006 would equal 1.5 months. DateDiff("m",[Start],[End]) returns whole months. DateDiff("d",[Start],[End])/30 is very close , but not precise.
Is there a way to accurately calculate fractions of a month?
I have a table <Table1> with field <Cust_ID> with datatype <Autonumber, LongInteger,Increment>. It means that as new record is entered each Cust_ID is auto-generated with incrementing number (that is not fraction). Now, I want to create a field that will generate incrementing fractional AutoNumber as I go on adding new record. (e.g. 1st record: Cust_ID = 1.00000001, 2nd record: Cust_ID: 1.00000002, 3rd record Cust_ID: 1.00000003)
Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance. Prodigy.
I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3 A.............100 C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1 AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code: SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID) INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID ) ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:]) Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*") Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1 1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
I was looking for some help. I am trying to setup a table with a field for web address. People are entering www.website.com etc however I need them to make sure it starts with http:// Is their any way I can put validation on the field to make sure that this is entered? Or maybe I could use an input mask?
I am trying to do an inner join with a left join. The only problem is, I want to inner join the table that is being joined. This is how I thought it would work below, but it doesn't work.
SELECT * FROM ((Submissions LEFT JOIN Candidates ON Submissions.`Candidate Code` = Candidates.`Candidate Code`) INNER JOIN `Type Candidate Status` ON Candidate.Status = `Type Candidate Status`.`Status ID`) WHERE Submissions.Status <> 7 ORDER BY `School Interest` DESC;
I want to get the Candidate.Status to inner join with the `Type Candidate Status`.`Status ID`.
I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.
I having a little trouble with a query I was hoping someone could help me with. Basically I have the following SQL statement
[code].....
I would like to show all records for the tblCService.CService field however it won't let me change the join to a RIGHT JOIN. I get an "ambigious outer joins" error message. As far as schema tblEList is the main table and the tblCService is a lookup table. Any ideas?
hello everyone,Please can someone tell me if it is possible to create a Join on two tables where the value from 1 field is contained within a field from the other table.eg.table1.field = "xyz"table2.field = "the xyz super thingy"This is the SQL it gave me orrigionally but this is an "= to" join which is not what i want. I tried replacing the = with a LIKE but am still getting the same results.SELECT table1.*, table2.*FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.modelno = table2.name;SELECT table1.*, table2.*FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.modelno LIKE table2.name;
I have a database with PCs and installed hardware. An external program scans all PCs, the result of the scan can be saved as Access file. Now I need a query to select from each PC the installed hardware (Monitor, Printer...) but only with the latest date. I have written a query MaxDatum to select the the lastest date. Here's my query code:
SELECT [Table1.needed fields], [Table2.neede fields]... FROM (((Table1 INNER JOIN (Table2 INNER JOIN qryMaxDatum ON (Table2.Field1 = qryMaxDatum.Field1) AND (Table2.Field2 = qryMaxDatum.MDate)) ON Telle1.Field1 = Telle2.Field1) INNER JOIN Table3 ON Table2.Field2 = Table3.Field2) INNER JOIN Table4 ON Table2.Field2 = Table4.Field2) INNER JOIN Table5 ON Table2.Field2 = Table5.Field2 ORDER BY Table1.Field1;
My problem: this query mulitply the number of data records so that I have 80 data records with exactly the same content per PC. How do I neesd to change the query to get only one data record per PC?
