Modules & VBA :: Query Loop - Unable To Convert To Form Reference
Sep 9, 2013
I have a form with 10 combo-boxes. Once user selects a value in CB1- CB2 becomes visible and active. I am trying to run a dynamic query- where the selection of the combo-box is used to select a column from my table called "dbo_animals"
To elaborate: CB1 contains the following values
Code : elephant, giraffe, bufffalo, tiger, lion
Once the user selects elephant in CB1, CB2 becomes active and I select tiger next. So the query becomes like. The process can go on and the user can select up to 10 animals
Code : **SELECT elephant, tiger FROM dbo_animals**
Problem: I am able to create the query with string manipulation- Unfortunately due to the way the loop through controls is set up- The query is unable to convert the text into a reference. If I hard code it as
tempquery = "SELECT [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB1] FROM dbo_animals" MsgBox(tempquery)
It looks like
Code : SELECT Elephant from dbo_animals
This is how I want. But, since i am looping through CB controls, I have it set up as
Code : tempquery = "SELECT" & " [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB" & i & "] FROM dbo_animals"
and this shows up as
Code : SELECT [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB1] FROM dbo_animals
Thereby giving me an error saying that the reference is not valid and asking me for a parameter value.
This makes sense, since it is unable to evaluate the text as a reference.
How do I correct the text into a reference? Or How do I build a query with adjusting columns based off selections from a combo-box and loop through the comboboxes in the form while auto-updating the query?
I have been trying to convert string into double number format. I am running a SQL query in VBA that returns a double number format; however my understanding with SQL queries in VBA is that they return string only. The results are showing up perfectly fine when I run the query in the query editor; however when I try using the returned value in further calculations in VBA I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error.
I basically want to Loop through a query (or if not possible trough a table) and show the results in my form. For each record in the table I am doing additional checks when loading the form and showing that result accordingly. I do not want to do these checks in additional queries - I think it is more efficient doing it in the form directly. Here is the code I have:
Dim dbsSR As DAO.Database Dim rstValQry As DAO.Recordset Set dbsSR = CurrentDb Set rstValQry = dbsSR.OpenRecordset("qry_val_tbl_ind_rec-rev_import") With rstValQry While (Not .EOF)
[Code] ....
The Loop seems to work because in debug it is going through it 3 times (the number of records I have in the query), but the result is always the same - it seems the above code is not checking / refreshing based on the individual query records.
The file was converted from excel. It is in Datasheet view. I select the first column and clip on the Ascending choice under the Home Tab. It works but leaves a large gab of blank rows. I go to the Database Tools tab and check Compact and Repair Database. The file returns to the original unorganized list.
I have a sample database (attached) where I have a form called frmVoteHeadsOne. The voteheads that I have are swimming (Swim) and transport (Trans), which both appear for data in a table. On the form, from the combo list, I would wish that if I select swimming, for example, only Mark Tyler's name is returned since he has paid 2000; if I select Transport from the same list, only John clement's name is returned.
My purpose for doing this is because in the actual database, I have 21 different voteheads which I would like to get different results from based on what the user selects from the combo list.
I have about 25 text boxes that get populated based on a financial transaction; quite often about half of them are empty. i wanted to gray them out if they are emtpy (.enabled = false). I could put a series of IF statements in the vba for each one, but its bulky and time-consuming. I've done for each record in tables and recordsets. Is there a way to do a for each textbox on a form?
In my database, I have a continuous form with a Name, a Date and a Yes/No field.
When the form opens, I want to look at the date of every record on the form and show a message box if it is before the current day.
The code I have is this;
Private Sub Form_Load() With Me.RecordsetClone While Not .EOF If Me.Date1 < Date Then MsgBox "" & Me.Person & "" End If If Not .EOF Then .MoveNext Wend End With End Sub
However, it loops just the first record the amount of times there is of records (i.e., it will only show the first person's name in the message box, and will show 3 times if there are 3 records).
We have a survey form we are trying to get some information from, and I think I need a loop to get the information, but there isn't a ton of information that I have found for what I need to do.
I have a six question survey that has a range of answers and a comments section (I didn't write the survey):
I have a simple query that will separate out the overall Positive and Negative reviews. The overall "Positive" or "Negative" ranking is manually assigned via a combo box on a form from a value list. Poor comments in the comments field can equate to a negative survey, even if questions 1-6 are neutral or better (good, very good, etc.)
What we would like to do is to poll through the responses to the survey and see how many of question 1-6 are consistently receiving Neutral or lower marks.
In my head, it makes sense to count through all the surveys and get a number of those responses. The response table (tblResponses) is setup with a combo box from a look up table that has the above responses. Actually, there are two lookup tables for this...one for question one, and one for questions two - six.
I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
and wanted to change this. I have this on the On Current event and it gives me an error because the data is not in the record source when the form opens. How can I change the me. to the formname? The form gets dynamically created so i have
Dim CurrentForm As String CurrentForm = Me.Form.Name
then i put
GBL_Tab05ID = Forms(CurrentForm).Form.Tab05ID
but that did not work...what is the correct syntax?
I have form named SearchForm and there is unbound subform named Search_blank. Depending on button in menu is used source object of Search_blank. One of the source objects is form named MeasureForm and it has subforms named MeasureForm_sf1 and MeasureForm_sf2. How can I reference public sub in MeasureForm_sf1 from SearchForm? How can I reference public sub in MeasureForm_sf1 form MeasureForm_sf2?
There might be a problem with unbound form. I tried reference public sub named GetLastVal from SearchForm that is in MeasureForm:
Code : Me!Search_blank.Form.GetLastVal
and it was working. Than I tried reference public sub named GetLastVal2 from SearchForm that is in MeasureForm_sf1:
I've set a database which has a table in which there are 2 fields "Account" and "Total Accounts". I want to have the amount of total summation of accounts in "Total Accounts" field of each record, which is the result of summation of "Account" values in all previous records till the current one. In order to do this purpose, I copied the value of "Amount" field of each record into "Total Accounts" field of the same record, at first. Then, I tried to add the amount of "Total Accounts" field of every record with just the amount of "Total Accounts" of previous one to earn the actual total amount of that record. I found that I need a VBA loop to do this query for all records (except first record) and so I code it as below, but it has the Run-time error '424' : Object required and it seems that I am in a mistake in definition of strSQL variable:
Code: Private Sub doDataSegm_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Set dbs = CurrentDb() Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("Table1", dbOpenTable)
I am trying to export a table in access based on a unique field called Group_Name. Say my table has 100 records. 10 of those records belong to Group1, 10 belong to Group 2, and so on. What I want to do is export those groups individually to an excel file and have that file named somting like Group1_Premium Detail Report.
Here is the Code I have so far. I have a feeling I am close. When I run the code it does not seem to like strrsql2
Dim strsql As String Dim strsql2 As String Dim strfilename As String Dim strpath As String strpath = "C:UsersDesktopHome"
I'm an accountant and I'd like to build my own personal financial database in Access. One thing I like about MS Money is the 'Forecast Cashflow' feature, which is based on a schedule of recurring transactions, amounts, next due date, and frequency. I want to replicate this.
So, I created a dummy database for the sake of learning the code behind this process. I've got 2 tables (but no microphone.
1) tbl_InitialPoint (which is my schedule of recurring transactions, amounts, frequency (in days)) 2) tbl_Register (where I want forecasted transactions to wind up)
I've got 2 saved queries:
1) qry_MaxDate (looks for any transaction @ 'tbl_InitialPoint' and finds the last date of that transaction in 'tbl_Register' SELECT MAX(tbl_Register.PostDate) AS LastDate, tbl_InitialPoint.Description FROM tbl_InitialPoint INNER JOIN tbl_Register ON tbl_InitialPoint.Description = tbl_Register.Description GROUP BY tbl_InitialPoint.Description;
2) qry_InsertTransactions (populates 'tbl_Register') INSERT INTO tbl_Register ( PostDate, Description, Amount ) SELECT qry_MaxDate.LastDate + tbl_InitialPoint.Frequency AS DateSeries, tbl_InitialPoint.Description, tbl_InitialPoint.Amount FROM tbl_InitialPoint INNER JOIN qry_MaxDate ON tbl_InitialPoint.Description = qry_MaxDate.Description WHERE qry_MaxDate.LastDate + tbl_InitialPoint.Frequency <= [Forms]![HomePage]![DateHorizon];
And I've got a form called 'HomePage' that has
1) A textbox where I input a date horizon (this is where I want the eventual 'Forecast Cashflow' to stop 2) A button to start the process
It seems to me that qry_InsertTransactions needs to be run over and over (looped) until the query is empty. And it seems to me that this can only be done via VBA (not sure if I could structure my SQL to avoid VBA in this case, but I need/want to learn the vba to accomplish this).
I'm having trouble getting VBA to run qry_InsertTransactions a single time. I'm pretty sure if I could get the thing to run once I could get it to run through a loop. So, here's what I came up with.
Public Sub InsertTransactionsBttn_Click() Dim db As Database Dim qdfNew As QueryDef Dim qdfInsertTransactions As QueryDef Set db = CurrentDb()
the below code works fine if i run a crosstab on a whole table however if i pass criteria to the crosstab e.g between [forms]![form]![txtstartdate] and [forms]![form]![enddate] it fails and returns null for every field? even though if set docmd.runquery "qryReductionByPhysician_Crosstab" this opens with the relevant data?
Code: Set db = CurrentDb Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryReductionByPhysician_Crosstab") indexx = 0
I have a main form "KZ_SEARCH" and within this I have a subform which is loaded when a button is pressed and is populated with query results (based on text entered in a text box). The subform is called "KZ NOTICES Query subform". That all works fine and the query modifies based on the text entered every time the button is pressed. The next stage is that when the subform is loaded I want the user to be able to select a line from the subform and to jump to that record in another form (which also needs to be opened from that selection). The reference for the record to select in the newly opened form would be the first column of the selected line highlighted in the subform (control name "KZ NUMBER").
I some code that is reading the first 32 lines of a text file and paste the results into 1 text box on individual lines. I would like each line to go into an individual text box.
I have 32 text boxes named txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 I have a variable named ThisLine holding the line of the text file. I have a variable named textBoxName holding the name of the control.
Need to putting these together to write the line to a text box .
Code: Sub ReadFile() Me.txt_newData = "" Me.txt_OrigData = "" 'again, we need this strange thing to exist so that ... Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Using Access 2010: I have a query with four fields: ORG_NAME, PERS_NAME_LAST, CountOfORG_NAME, and BdMbrCount. There are a couple hundred companies in the database with 1-7 people associated with each company. I need to number each person so that they have a number, 1-7 in the MemberCount field of my query.
I have my query connected to VBA code.
I have experimented with code that I have found on the forum, just to see if I could get something to work and I am getting “Undefined function ‘BdMbrCount’ in expression. I am trying to pass [ORG_NAME],[PERS_NAME_LAST] to my function and assign the value of BdMbrCount to a new field in my query, BdMbrCount.
Code: Function BdMbrNumber() Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") 'Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [ORG_Name],[PERS_NAME_LAST],[CountofORG_NAME], [BdMbrCount] FROM YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") Dim ORG_NAME As String
I am trying to loop through a query results to extract email addresses from a query result.
I have the following code
NameCriteria = Forms![MainMenu]![tbl_Course_Details]![Course_Name].Value DateCriteria = Forms![MainMenu]![tbl_Course_Details]![Course Date].Value Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlStr As String
[Code] .....
If i run this in access as a query then it returns results but when i run in there then it says no current Record and i cant work out why?
Someone on another post said that sql uses US date format so i tried converting to us date and still no results?
I am a relative newbie to VBA, and not very familiar with loops, but I need to add a loop to my function that exports a query with criteria contained in a bound ComboBox on a form. I've gotten my code to work fine without the loop, but I would like to export one file for each item "Team_ID" contained in the ComboBox without the user having to manually select and re-run the function each time. Here is what my code currently looks like:
Code:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function CreateQCChartsforReports() As Boolean Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim strSQLStatic As String Dim BookName As String Dim BookName2 As String Dim intCounter As Integer Dim cboCode As ComboBox
I have a part table summary with various quantities 1-1000 and want to create a new table where part number repeats with quantity of 1 corresponding back to the sum. If part 123456=20 then this would repeat 20 x and each record Qty=1
Start with summary --================ Part Qty 111000 2 222000 3
End result all Qty=1 --================ Part Qty 111000 1 111000 1 222000 1 222000 1 222000 1 --================
I stared with a loop and was able to get an append query to work referring to the quantity value (3) for one record from tbl_temp to tbl_main, but not really sure how to advance through many records.
For n = 1 To [Forms]![MainScreen]![Text7] DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_Update_Qty" 'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec Next n
I have inherited maintenance of an Access DB that I did not design and I'm having trouble with their Navigation Form setup. I created a form with a list box and two date fields, and figured out how to build a filter for the form that would open a specified report on a button click. It worked great as a stand-alone form, but when I added it to a navigation control in a navigation form I can't seem to find the right path to tell the VBA where to look for the filter criteria.
In the screen shot, the report to be displayed is in the detail of the "Report Center" tab on the far right of the navigation form "Main." the form "FilterSelection" is inserted in the "NavigationControl0" section under the navigation tabs. Criteria is selected/entered in "FilterSelection" and needs to be passed to the filter of the report that is opened when the "Project Tasks" navigation button is pressed. As I mentioned, when I created the form I put a button on it to open the form with the filter (built via SQL in VBA) it worked beautifully. But now that it's on the "NavigationControl0" object Access errors and can't find the fields where the data has been selected/entered.
I'm using form with subform. Main form header contain a combobox. I need to check the combobox is null or not before update a subform filed. If combobox is null then its back to Main form combobox from subform. The code below that I'm trying to:
Code: Private Sub AssignTo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Forms!frmDepartmentReview!cboDepartment) Then MsgBox "You must select Department first", vbInformation Forms![frmDepartmentReview]![cboDepartment].SetFocus End If End Sub
Then I'm getting 2110 run time error
Access can't move the focus to the control cboDepartment.
