I have a field in a table called reasons. Then I have a list of possible reasons in a drop down list for my form. I want to create a report that allows the user to select from a drop down of these reasons and do a query for only those records with that specific reason. I know you can ask that info be typed in by using brackets in the query but instead of typing the reason I want to be able to select from the drop down list to produce the report. Can this be done?
My database contains information about events running in different areas. I want to make the filtering options for this information as flexible as possible and so want a query where most of the fields can have criteria set, but where they can optionally be left blank and so the data will not be filtered on that field. To do this, I am trying to create form which collects together the parameters required by the user which the query can then pick up.
I want to use list boxes which contain all the entries for a particular field, looked up from the original table (e.g. all the different town names from the town field of all the records). This will allow the user to select the one(s) they want to filter for.
However, using list boxes presents me with the following problems, with which I would appreciate help:
1) How do I refer to a list box from a query and get the correct code created? I could do this where I'm just refering to a text box, but then a text box only contains one value. How do I tell Access to look for any of the towns selected in a list box?
2) There will be options on my form to filter the data by any of the fields of which it is made up. Obviously, the user will not want to filter every field and so I need a way to tell Access that if the user has not made a selection for a particular field, then it should not filter that field when the query runs.
If anyone can help me with these two things I would greatly appreciate it. I've so nearly finished developing a new system and this is the last hurdle I need to overcome!
I've got a table of associate directors "t_ADnames" and want to build separate tables for each AD name that pulls a pass through query from our data warehouse. I'm thinking it's got to be done with a macro somehow? So it would run pass_query where AD name = "John" and insert into t_john, then it would check the next name in t_ADnames and run the same query for say "Mark" and insert all his data into t_mark and so on until the list (of about 12 people) has been completed.
I have created a search form which I would like to use to run a query (so the data is in a spreadsheet form and I can export it).
In this search form I have a multi select list box (simple) that list the states in the US. I need to be able to pass 1 or more states as a search criteria at the same time. Also I need it to pull ALL states if there is nothing selected. The search form has a bunch of fields on it that won't all be used.
I know once you select more than one thing from a list you can't reference it directly, is there a way to accomplish what I want to do?
Is there a way of doing the above? I have several distribution lists (some >100 recipients) defined in Outlook, and would like to use the Docmd. Send Object command to send messages to one or several of them. I cannot find a way of defining a distribution list as any of the To, Cc or Bcc parameters.
I have got an unbound multiple list box called List44 (Row Source: query based on table tblAircraftCategory, Multi Select - Extended) that needs to be passing parameters to my main query called AircraftSearch2. The multiple choice list box have the following fields:
1. Piston 2. Turbo Prop 3. Entry Level Jet 4. Light Jet 5. Super Light Jet 6. Midsize Jet 7. Super Midsize Jet 8. Heavy Jet 9. Ultra Long Range 10. Helicopter 11. Air Ambulance 12. Cargo 13. Vip Airliner 14. Airliner
The user will use the form for selecting search criteria (the form is called SearchForm2 and has 5 combo boxes, 3 text boxes and one multiple choice list box).
I'm very new to access and need to modify (or coding a separate module) my query to include my multiple choice list box in my query?
I've created a database where I have all the information for people like name, address, etc. Then there's a list box to choose what events they will be attending. I want to be able to run a report and see all the information for the people who are attending any specific event. Is there a way to create a form where I can click a button then it brings up the screen to choose the parameters of my report, then generates the report? Thanks!
I am trying to figure what code to use. What i am trying to accomplish is when the use clicks to open a report i want a form to open and make them choose from a combo box a "training activity". then the report will generate info for that activity only.
I created a report using wizard and altered the parameters to what I need on my report and saved it as a new autoformat. The autoformat did not retain the parameter adjustments I made...only the basic format...no size changes...grouping I added ...a seperator line between the groups and the bound items I deleted that I did not want were still there. All I want to do is to be able to use the report format I created numerous times as it is without me having to go in and make adjustments with each query I pull a report from. There are several different query's with different tables involved. To sum it up one report format to use multiple times....Help Please!
I would like to run a report that uses a stored procedure with parameters. Is there a way I can pass the parameters from the report to the stored procedure? I am NOT running it from a form.
I want to call the report from VBA code and pass it the parameters that are necessary to run the stored procedure. Any ideas?
I have an report that uses name paramaters.this is the sql for the report
Code:
PARAMETERS [whatCompany] Text ( 255 ); SELECT tblInvoices.ClientCompany, tblInvoices_Details.Charge, Sum(tblInvoices_Details.Hours) AS SumOfHours, tblInvoices.InvoiceID FROM tblInvoices INNER JOIN tblInvoices_Details ON tblInvoices.InvoiceID = tblInvoices_Details.InvoiceID GROUP BY tblInvoices.ClientCompany, tblInvoices_Details.Charge, tblInvoices.InvoiceID HAVING (((tblInvoices.ClientCompany)=[whatCompany]));
How do I pass the paramaters to the report? I've tried several different ways but can't get it to work
Code: Dim stdocname As String Dim stLink As String stdocname = "RptWithParm" stLink = "ClientCompany = " & "'" & Me.lstCustomer & "'" 'Using the field name doesn't work DoCmd.OpenReport stdocname, acViewReport, , stLink
'When I try to set the value of the paramater that doesn't work either stLink = "[whatCompany] = " & "'" & Me.lstCustomer & "'" 'using the paramater name doesn't work DoCmd.OpenReport stdocname, acViewReport, , stLink
I know I could use the value of the form in the criteria like this
Code: HAVING (((tblInvoices.ClientCompany)=[Forms]![frmTesRptParm]![lstCustomer]));
If I use the list box as the criteria I want to be able to use reports in other than one place, plus there are over 80,000 records and it'll run faster if I set the criteria before the report opens instead of setting a filter after it opens to only show up to about 100.
I've made a report on a blank report template. I've dropped in 5 sub reports. I have entered into the criteria for each of the queries based on [forms]![ClientForm]!CleintID. to run the report. It wortks but I have to enter the ClientID 5 times. Usually, when I create a button to run the form from, it only asks for the CleintID once. The 5 reports are based on 3 separate queries.
I need the following report to open with date parameters. I have the following code, but it doesn't quite work.
When an item is chosen from Modl (a list box) a box pops up asking for LowPop, then another for Start Year and then another for End Year.
Those last two aren't doing what they should. They should restrice the [Date] field to between the years entered as start and end. I would like to put it in the "OpenReport" line, but don't think that's going to work.
Code: Private Sub Command27_Click() Dim varItm As Variant Dim ModelWhere As String Dim strQuery Dim LowPop As String Dim SDate As Date
what i have is a form (image attached) and i need to be able to select any combination of parameters (including state, zipcode from GENERAL, i.e. referring doctor last name from RefMD, Drugname from Drugs, Diagnosisname from Diagnosis, and VisitType from Encounters) and filter PatientForm where all the selected parameters are true..
I'm pretty new to Access, so if I'm doing this the hard way, that's why.
I work in a quality control position, and I'm trying to set up a single Access database for the QC staff to use instead of everyone having their own seperate Excel workbooks.
The issue I'm running into at the moment is on a report. Each record is graded on four seperate types of criteria, Error Type 1, Error Type 2, Error Type 3 and Error Type 4, all of which need to be reported on seperately. So I have at least four queries set up, all with the same parameters (right now, just review date.) I'm trying to pull through all four queries on the same report, and so far I've had success having the report ask for the parameters only once and then applying it to all four queries. However, I'm running into a problem where Access is now forcing the filters of each individual query on to each of the other three queries, so it's only pulling through records for all four queries that match the criteria of all four. Any record which only matches the criteria of one, two or three of the queries is being left off the report.
Sorry if this sounds confusing. Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong?
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I very new to Access. I am using the Contact Database template from MS and added a field of text. I am trying to get a query to search the field for partial text. I've typed the following parameter to narrow it down because I only need partial information:
Like "*" & [How are the contacts involved in Organization?] & "*"
I used the query builder off of a report that was already created. I just want to be able to get contacts on the report that match the parameters inputted into the box.
When I run the report it gives me the following error:"You either have an error in your expression or you have attempted to use an undeclared parameter. Check the expression for errors or enter the parameter '[How are the contacts involved in Organization?]' in the Query Parameters dialog."I hit OK and it pulls up the report without data filled in.
I have a command button (well, I have a few) that I would like to open a report, first opening a form that allows the user to enter a start and end date.
The code so far is:
On Error Resume Next If Err = 2501 Then Err.Clear DoCmd.OpenForm "DateSelect", acNormal DoCmd.OpenReport "All Events Report", acPreview
Now, when run, this code opens the form (DateSelect), but the report starts to run immediately - the On No Data event of the report kicks in (message box along the lines of "No data, closing report", so before the user has the opportunity to enter the dates, the report has decided that there is no data an closes.
Is there a way to pause the opening of the report until after the OK button is clicked on the pop up form?
Just for the sake of clarity, the pop-up form DateSelect is used to open various reports, so I can't add the open report command to the code for the OK button (that I know of?)
The report is bound to a query that has 2 group by fields, 1 count field a a further field, a date field ([Part Date], that I put a default criteria on. This field is not displayed. If I don't put a criteria on this field disappears when I close and open again.
I pass a date to the program via a form and this ultimately ends up in SQLDate. When I run this I get promted to enter [Part Date] even though I'm setting it equal to SQLDate above. I can out garbage to a proper date in here either way the report picks up the default date entered in by the query.
1. Get rid of all of the parameters off the query.
2. Then you can use the Where Clause of the DoCmd.OpenReport code to specify the parameters based on your variables.
1.Not sure what this means but when I get rid of the criteria for the parameter the field disappears (I'm setting the show field to no as I don't want totals group by date). Getting rid of the field gives me all parts used.
2.I think I'm doing this in the above but will bow to superior knowledge!!
or is it I can't pass a parameter to a report run by a query that is grouping fields together to produce a count.
Incidentally once the report has been run (albeit with the wrong parameters) and I go into design mode and look at the property sheet for the report the correct filter is there (i.e., the date that has been input) but it quite clearly ignores this.
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code: Private Sub cmdPreview_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box. Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
I have a navigation form that will have 6-8 tabs. We were using about that many databases, but we are finally consolidating them into one. The result of us using so many databases has been the multitude of forms and reports that were necessary for each database prior to merging them together.
The problem: There will be anywhere from 12-20 (text boxes) that the user can use to search anything in our database. What we need to have happen, if possible, is for those search parameters to show up in the header of our report if they have text in them. If the text box is blank, it should not show up in the header of the report.
I have read how to to do the start/end date technique, but I do not know if that would work for what we are doing since the boxes would only show up if they are populated by the user.
I created a Access 2010 database query to allow a user to search a list of orders between 2 dates, and I created a form for them to use for this search.
Then I created a report for the search results to land on. What I want to do is have the 2 dates that the user provided be displayed in the header of the report.
I created a new Text Box and placed it in the header. In place of the "Unbound" filler that was there, I placed
"=[Forms]![frm_DateRange]![txtStart]".
I used the following steps to do this:
Clicked on the Text Box controlPressed the "Property Sheet" buttonSelected the "Data" TabPressed the "..." button next to the "Control Source EntryThe "Expression Builder" came upDouble-clicked on the database name in the "Expression Elements" windowDouble-clicked on "Forms", then double-clicked on "All Forms"Selected the rpt_DateRange" formSelected "txtStart" from the "Expression Categories" window.I did not select anything in the "Expression Values" window.
When I go to "Report View", and see the Text Box I added, but inside it, it just says "#Name?"
What I have is a single table that I need to create a report from. It has vehicle unit numbers, dates of service, repair details and costs. I am trying to generate a report where I can select a unit from a combobox and enter a date range.
In our Student Administration database, we have a Student Evaluation Report which prints a 1 page per student report in memo like format. The instructor had previously input rating numbers (4=Best, 1=Worst) for 9 categories for each student via a database form into the Evaluations Table.
Two other elements of the rating are an Attendance based on number of days absent and a Grade Point Average (GPA) calculated from the student's test scores. The instructor then prints and reviews the report with each student.
There is an Evaluations Parameter table which has the following fields:
Field Description
ID The autonum key field.
Class eg., 2015-1
Evaluation Number A single digit (eg., 1, 2). There may be more than 1 evaluation for each class.
EffectiveDate The "as of" date of the evaluation.
There are then several other tables that are input to a query that will be the record source for the report:
Table Purpose/Data
Students Student Name, Class
Absence Has a record for each student's absence with date and a 1 or .5 indicating a whole or half day absent.
Test Grades Has a record with each student's test results with date and score.
Evaluations Holds the rating score for each of the 9 rating categories.
The Student Evaluation report is launched from an unbound Reports menu form via a button. On the Reports menu form I wish to have controls for the user to select which evaluation to report on. The Absence and Test Grade information needs to include records that are <= the EffectiveDate in the Evaluation Parameter table. The Evaluations records need to match the Class and Evaluation Number in the Evaluations Parameter table.
I would like the user to be able to select the Evaluation Parameter via a combo box vs. specifying the Class, Evaluation Number and Effective Date separately and then have the query record source for the report use those two fields as criteria. But my limited understanding of the Combo box indicates that only 1 field from the lookup query of the Evaluations Parameter table can be stored in the control whereas I need 3 (Class Evaluation Number and EffectiveDate).
How the user can select the desired Evaluation Parameter record on the Reports menu form and use the 3 fields from the selected record as criteria in the report's record source query.
