Maybe It's A Anti-query
Oct 2, 2006I need a query that shows the "not chosen" values.
That is:
I have table with MANY entry. If I choose FEW (query parameter) how can i write a query that show SOME=MANY-FEW
Thanks

An Anti-Query?
Mar 18, 2008Here's an odd one for you, but I bet it has a simple answer.
I have three tables: the first one is a list of orders, the second is a list of wages that should be paid out should a transaction fall into a certain range, and a table that has a list of the orders that should have those wages assigned. (any order not in the third table should be paid a static wage, no changes)
I made a query for any record that would need this list of wage ranges. The first and third tables (the orders and the list of orders that should be with the wage range)
SELECT completed.*, WageList.Wage
FROM WageList, [Pay for Performance List] INNER JOIN completed ON [Pay for Performance List].[Order Number] = completed.OrderNumber
WHERE (((completed.Eff)>=[WageList]![minPercentage] And (completed.Eff)<=[WageList]![maxPercentage]) AND (([Pay for Performance List].[Pay for Performance?])=Yes));
This query works just fine, thanks to the help of several people online here. Here's the problem: a second query would have to cover those records that are NOT part of the list. Since the two tables are linked in a one-to-many relationship, how do you ask for the records that are NOT part of the one side of the table?
Anti-querying?
Jun 2, 2006OK,
I work for a political party. I work with voter history information. Normally, I am doing queries in order to bring up particular voters, and eliminate others.
Example - the basic table I work with contains the names, addresses, affilitations, and voting histories of everyone in my county. I normally query to bring up voters of a particular party, or people who voted in a particular election or number of elections or both. I more or less sort voters out, but in a positive manner, by creating tables with voters who did a particular thing.
For example: out of all the voters, I just want Democrats who voted in two of the past three primaries. I would then get a table that contained just those voters and no others.
Today, though, I was asked to create a table that would exclude voters based on their behavior, exluding voters who did a particular thing but showing everyone else.
Example, I have a request for all of the voters in the county, except those who voted in the 2004 and 2002 primaries. I know how to create a table with those voters and no others, but I don't know how to query for everyone but those voters. Can anyone help?
AVG Anti Virus And Lost Records
Nov 11, 2005Hello all,
This is stricktly theory but I am wondering if any of you have had any problems with losing records while running antivirus software on a network type solution. i.e. AVG antivirus that uses one computer as the main server and all operations for antivirus software updates etc are run from this server. I am wondering if when the server does an automatic update on a computer if that is interupting the network connection for access (we all know how much access likes that)? I am having a horrible time with lost records. This week there have been three records lost.
Has anyone heard of any problems related to this or had similar experiences? After months of losing records this is just another theory. I don't want to start fooling around with my anti virus software but I just may just to see. Thanks for all your help.

Does Access Recognise Anti-join?
May 19, 2006Hello,
I'm merging de-duping contact data from 2 tables with the same fields. One table is the master (lets call it X) and the other is new data (lets call it Y).
However, it's not a simple as adding the new recordset to the old recordset: there are many dupes - sometimes X data needs to be replaced with Y data, sometimes the X data is more comprehensive than the Y data so the Y data is discarded, but often Y and X records for matching email addresses needs to be merged.
I currently have a union query joining the two tables (X and Y), upon which a make table query is based. A de-duplication query has been based on the resulting table of all records (X + Y), and exact duplicate/fragment 'Y' records in the table have been removed.
I have in my mind a diagram of a right-outer-join query (where the left table is X + Y and the right table is the original table X) - and I want the data that would be excluded from this operation. I have come across un-join queries in discussions relating to Oracle, can I use this operator in Access or is it incompatible with the Jet engine?
Would I just be able to use "IS NOT" somewhere in the right-outer-join query instead?
Please help! Thank you!
Query In Forms Question (printing A Single Selected Query Record From A Form?)
Oct 19, 2004What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?
I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.
So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.
Thanks in advance

Queries :: Join Results Of Unmatched Query With Matched Query To Include Null
Mar 24, 2013I am trying to do the good 'ol sales report (query) to include customers with no sales.
I have a customers table, account number table, sales table & sales (line) detail table. (all linked in that order)
If I run a query to show customers (in the customer table) with account numbers, that works
An unmatched query to show customer without an account number works (but of course the unmatched account number field isn't shown).
How can I get the two two be shown together with the "unmatched" having a null or 0 for their account number?
I am guessing in principle, the resulting solution can be modified to show customers without sales alongside those with sales?
Queries :: Opening Design View Of Append Query Without Timing Out Source Query
Mar 4, 2015In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
UNION Query MS Jet Database Engine Cannot Find The Input Table Or Query.
Oct 28, 2005Hello All,
I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".
Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.
I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Queries :: Export Query To Excel Then Delete Query Data From Table
Nov 20, 2013I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
Queries :: Update A Query Based On Results From Another Query Using Count Function
Apr 2, 2013I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
Queries :: Crsosstab Query Doesn't Recognize Expression In Source Query
Aug 12, 2015I have a query where these are the fields:
ProductRevType
RevLag
RevFlowThru
CloseMoYr
ProjRevDate
CurrentMRC
ProjRevMRC
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?

Blank Fields In Crosstab Query Based On Previous Query
May 31, 2006:confused:
I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made.
There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE
SELECT qryTest2.CID
FROM qryTest2
GROUP BY qryTest2.CID
PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
-----------
qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#]
GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In"))
ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
Thanks for you time! :)
Show All Records From One Query And The Sum Of A Field In A Related Query Record
Mar 8, 2005I'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
Can someone see where I’m going wrong?

Queries :: Query To Insert Missing Rows From Another Query / Table
Oct 8, 2013I am using an Access 2010 DB to keep track of a schedule. Essentially, at least one person needs to be signed up to work for every hour of every day in a week.
Tables:
Days with 7 records
Hours with 24 records
Workers with as many people that sign up to work the different hours
Schedule signifying the worker, day, and hour which are signed up.
As of now i have a query that relates these results and gives me a line detailing the worker/time information for the slots that are signed up for.What I'm TRYING to do is to create a query that gives me BLANK worker info when there is no one signed up for a particular hour.Currently my Schedule table has the following:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
16 | 5 | 15
What I'm looking to do is have this table matched up with another table (or query) that provides every combination of day/hour. When an day/hour combination is skipped, the query will be able to "fill in the blank" with a row. Like this:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
| | 14
16 | 5 | 15
Queries :: When One Sub Query Has No Records Entire Main Query Is Blank
Oct 1, 2014I have a query with three sub queries, all returning a number from different tables. But when any one of the sub queries returns a blank, the entire main query is blank.

Queries :: Query Error When Data Changes In Crosstab Source Query
Aug 12, 2014I have a database which among other things records how jobs are received i.e.: Telephone, Email, Mail, Facsimile or Web.For each client I want to identify the percentages of each method of receipt against the total of jobs received and during different time periods.I have created a make table query for all jobs received between variable dates for a client entry of the name of the client and the start and finish dates are required to run the query.
I have a crosstab query set up to count each method of receipt and a final query to work out the percentages using the total from the crosstab query fields divided by the total of all methods.I have a macro set up to replace the table with new data when I want the stats for a different client between new dates, therefore the different methods of receipt may vary for the less active clients i.e.: they may only have telephone and email .
My problem is if I choose a client where we have not received a job by a particular method (say web or facsimile), the last query working out the percentages has fixed names to cover each method but naturally produces an error when it cannot find a corresponding method of receipt. I have experimented with NZ() without success.My question is can I either have preset standard names of the column field in a crosstab query? Alternatively in the query calculating the percentages, can I include code to ignore a non-existent field in the crosstab query.
Query Is Too Complex... On Report, But Query Runs Fine
Oct 18, 2005Hi...
I have a query that when I run it normally (just click on it) then it runs fine. (It is a union query, getting it's data from 8 other queries (who has their dependancies)
But when I want to run a report from it, Access gives me an error saying "query is too complex".
I am flattered, but I would prefer access to work than say I write stuff that is too complex for it. :cool:
Any ideas?
I am confused by the fact that it runs when I double click the query, but the report bugs it out.

Syntax Error In Query. Incomplete Query Clause
Sep 28, 2005I am really stuck. I have spent two days searcinh different forums trying to solve my problem. I am trying to create an UPDATE q to my Access database. But I get either the: "Syntax error in query. Incomplete query clause" or "Syntax error in UPDATE query".
First of all here's the URL: www.innotec-as.no/login/Kunder
Login U/P either: "alfen" or "thomas".
The page opening up shows the user info, U/P and adress.
viewing the information is working perfectly - but editing it..no way.
When editing and submiting the data the above errors occour.
Try that and you'll also see the SQL I am trying to execute.
The CODE is as follows:
SQLtemp = "UPDATE 'Brukere' SET"
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'navn' = '" & request("Navn") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'epst' = '" & request("Epst") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Pass' = '" & request("Pass") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Firma' = '" & request("Firma") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BAdresse' = '" & request("BAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BPostAdr' = '" & request("BPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PAdresse' = '" & request("PAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PPostAdr' = '" & request("PPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & "WHERE 'Bnavn' = '" & request("Bnavn") & "'"
Response.Write(SQLtemp)
Response.End()
conn.Execute(SQLtemp)
rs.Update[/COLOR]
The finished SQL statement looks like this:
UPDATE 'Brukere' SET 'navn' = 'Alf Byman', 'epst' = 'alf@baccara.no', 'Pass' = 'alfen', 'Firma' = '', 'BAdresse' = '', 'BPostAdr' = '', 'PAdresse' = 'sdfg', 'PPostAdr' = '', WHERE 'Bnavn' = 'alfen'
I have tried to user single quotes, doubble quotes, brackets etc. nothing works.
The code I use for connection is as follows:
<!--#include file="../adovbs.inc"-->
<%
dim conn, rs, SQLtemp
' DSNless connection to Access Database
set conn = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
rs="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
rs=rs & "PWD=uralfjellet; DBQ=" & server.mappath("../../../../db/kunder.mdb")
conn.Open rs
I'll be very HAPPY for some expert help on this.

Self Generating Query String Based On Query Results?
Jan 3, 2008Here's my problem. I need to generate a report that says how much of each individual product was produced and as well as the total produced for a specified category in a time period. Something like the following:
05 Catagory A: 02 Product AA, 01 Product AB, 02 Product AC
10 Category B: 07 Product BA, 03 Product BB
04 Category C: 01 Product CA, 01 Product CB, 01 Product CC, 01 Product CD
etc...
I currently have a query that queries a database and pulls out all products that were produced in a specified period and the categories they belong to and dump them into a local access table. Now what I need to do is search through the query results and count up how many of each product were produced (02 AA, 01 AB, etc...) and the totals for each category. The number of categories is pretty limited (6), but there are hundreds of product codes, so I need a way to do this without having to type in each induvidual product code as the requirement by which the query searches. Also, the product codes that get returned are different every day.
I was thinking something along the lines of take the product code of the first row and check for any others in the results that match and write that into another table. Then move onto row 2 and use its product code as a search parameter and search through the query results for any matches. Then continue that until the end of the query results. Can I do that? Is there a better way to achieve what I need?
Queries :: Query Based On Table Matching Another Query?
Jan 13, 2014Been working on this for a while now and can't get it to work how I'd like after trying a few things.
I have a form ("Production Form") from where users input start and end times for various processes against a particular product. Currently, I have (or had) a query (and linked report) "ProductionDurations" where durations for each of the processes were calculated for different product runs.
I have since tried to adapt this query to include reference values contained in another query ("ProductionDurationsPerBulkLitre", based on a "Products" table) for how long each process should take for each production, by multiplying by the volume processed. Here's what I have at the moment in the "ProductionDurations" query:
Quote:
SELECT DateDiff("n",[BlendlineCIPStartTime],[BlendlineCIPEndTime]) AS BlendlineCIPDuration,
DateDiff("n",[FlavourMixStartTime],[FlavourMixEndTime]) AS FlavourMixDuration,
DateDiff("n",[BlendlineStartTime],[BlendlineEndTime]) AS BlendlineDuration,
[Code] ....
Rather than returning what I require, the above bolded part is returning a calculated value for each production against each of the products. What I require is a calculated value for each production against the product that has been selected on the form.
