Loosing My Sort

Jun 24, 2005

Please help brainy bods this is bugging me�

I have a form, based on a table, with 3 fields, Ref (a reference number preceded by a G i.e. G14), a Definition (text) and a sort key (number field I put in because I couldn�t work out how to sort on the digits in the Ref).

I have set the records to appear in continuous forms and want them to be sorted in numerical order by the sort key (like they are in the table the form is based on).

However, the form always reverts to sorting them by the ref field, which is text so the order comes out as G1, G10, G11, G2..etc. If I select the sort key field in the form and the sort A-Z button it works but doesn�t stay like it.

I have tried to use the Order By field in the properties for the form but even though it says Sortkey in there it doesn�t actually sort by it�..

Loosing A Linked Table

Oct 11, 2007

I have all my active databases on the same shared folder over the server. Database A has three tables linked to database B. The problem is that every morning when we log into database A, the link to one of the tables is missing, always the same table. I re-linked the table in the mornings, users log in and out during the day, no problems at all, the next day, gone again!

Both databases are .mdes. We are using Access 2003. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Maritza

Loosing Relationship Configurations When Splitting A DB

Oct 27, 2005

I have a one to many to many relationship; with the "Cascade update related fields", and "Cascade update related records" on the relationship properties checked.

Since I have split the DB to FE and BE, the relationship properties (for the 3 tables on the FE) is grayed out and cannot be changed.
In addition, the "Cascade update related fields", and "Cascade update related records" on the relationship properties is unchecked.

(The relationship properties on the BE is still configured to Cascade update.

Any solution?

Thank you
Joe

Loosing Lines On Main Form After Navigating To Another Tab

Sep 11, 2006

I have a main form that displays four lines of data. I have a tab control with 3 tabs. The form displays perfectly until I navigate to one of the other tabs and back to the main tab. It appears to scroll down a couple of lines and I loose the top line of data.

Any idea what is happening or how to stop it?

:confused:

Queries :: Loosing Data When Put Criteria In Query

Nov 5, 2014

I have a data base with 6 tables

stock
stocklocation
location
orderdetail
orders
Customers

i have created a query to do the calculation of how much stock came in went out and is still on hand .the problem im having is that it shows me the 0 total for product with no stock in it when i put my criteria as >0 in my goods on hand field it show me no data in the query.

my calculation fields is as follows GoodsOnHand:[GoodsIn]-[GoodsOut]
Goods in gets calculated as follows GoodsIn:Nz([SumOfGoodsIn],0)
Goods out get calculated same way as goods in.

The Reason i have a sum of goods in is because i have to calculate the quantity in another query because it is spread over lots of locations.

Can I Do A Sort Within A Sort On Combo Boxes?

Oct 16, 2006

Hi all,

I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.

It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Report Sort Is Not The Same As Query Sort...

Jan 9, 2005

Sort By A Value

Aug 8, 2005

I was just wondering if it was possible to run a query by a specific value first, then the remainder of the following values in ascending order.

For example, the data would appear in the table as

Smith
Bloggs
Jones
Taylor

What I would like to do is have all the Taylors at the top, followed by Bloggs,Jones then Taylor

I have looked at the OrderBy function, but believe that you can only sort Ascending and Descending

Checked search, cant find anything

Many Thanks

Andy

Sort Asc / Dec

Jan 13, 2006

Continuous form:
The standard menu / toolbar commands sort ASC and DEC work just fine.
However, if I define a button with the VBCode
"DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSortAscending", I get an alarm message pop-up
saying "the command or action "SortAscending" isn't available now".
I made sure that the standard menu items "Sort asc / dec" are not grayed out(disabled) at the time I click the button in runtime. The mouse cursor points to the desired sort criteria field.

Any advice?

Regards from Belgium (pretty cold here)

How To Sort By IP Address

Aug 29, 2005

I am completely stumped on this one. I have a database where we track IP Addresses and I just want to sort by IP...should be simple, I'd think.

With these 5 IP's, I'd want them in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21

But it sorts in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I want it to see each number as a whole, for example "10" instead of "1" and "0"

Much thanks.

Help Newbie Sort Out His DB

Jan 16, 2006

Hello all

Been looking at this forum for a few weeks and think it's great!!

Now for my first post :rolleyes:

We have a DB at work (attached) and it was put together by a consultant would you believe. Anyway I have been given the task to fix this. It now work i.e. it records what I want. The only problem is that it's written with more macros than i've ever seen.

I want some advice on the DB to make it function better. It is used to record how long a member of staff spend on a piece of work, apologies for the interface.

1. The user must first input a date , start date and end date into a table. Now the start date will always be a Monday and the end date a Sunday. Is there anyway to automate that process? i.e if a user goes in on a Monday the prevous weeks date is there but if the user went in before it would not , get the idea.

Anyway, please rip it to shreads and give me some advice

Thanks

Sort Date

Dec 13, 2007

Hey all, I looked throught a couple of threads for sorting, but could not find exactly what I need.

Basically, I have a list of dates:

10-Aug-07
20-Oct-07
13-Nov-07
etc...

and when I try and sort these dates from earliest to latest, it only reads the number and not the month, like:

10-Aug-07
13-Nov-07
20-Oct-07
etc...

How would I make it sort by date and month?

Thanks,
RR

Sort By Month

Jun 21, 2005

Hello, I have the following query which gives me a count by day.

However, it sorts by day instead of day/month.
For example:

01/01/05
01/02/05
01/03/05
02/01/05
02/02/05 and so on...

Can I sort so it will show me all of January, then all of Febuary etc?

Thanks.

Sort By First 2 Digits Only

Jan 19, 2006

Open the database – then open the Report: rep_Billing

I have a query that is doing some sort and count functions. The column [TYPE] is sorted then counted. Instead of sorting by the full name can the query sort based off of the first 2 characters?

Example:
On the report the first company is: AMERICAN POSTCARDS

First it separates the colors, which is good.
Then separates the [TYPE] then counts the total amount that color was that type.
However I do not want the full type to be separated out, I want it based on the first 2 characters so that the “N-“ will all stay together as a group.

Final count should say: AMERICAN POSTCARDS
GREEN RA 3
RED N- 14
RED PR 16
RED RA 12
BLUE NC 1

I know I can get this info from the report, but it has to be done at the query level because it is going to be exported into another system at that point. Thanks.

Let me know if I need to make this clearer. Thank you all.
