I have a scenario that I tried on an Excel forum but didn't have much luck. Conditions for my assignment:
1) Long description short, I have to randomly select 2 records for each client each month.
2) The catch is that these records have to be different states until the process is done for all 50 states, so the process isn't done for 4 years and 2 months (50 months).
I attached a sample database.
I have a table that consist of equipments. In it is a equipment number field. I need a way to randomly pull up these equipment numbers-kind of like a lottery. Please help.

I'm trying to use Allen Browne's Search Criteria:
with another snippete of code I found here:
Code:
'Purpose: This module illustrates how to create a search form, _
where the user can enter as many or few criteria as they wish, _
and results are shown one per line.
[Code]....
It's the date part I'm having trouble with, the rest of the search criteria work fine without the date, but I can't get it working when I try to modify and merge the date sections of each code.
Also I'm using a listbox for the "Yesterday";"Last 4 days";"Last 9 days" and not a combo box.
Is there any known issues and even better fixes for records where they partially vanish into thin air, well the meaningful contents disappear and I'm left with nulls. Been an ongoing issue for quite some time, rebuilds haven't fixed the problem, although the same table, different records every time too. There are in excess of 50,000 records in this table and it's just the one here and there, on a frequency basis, say every month or so. :confused:

My subforms are randomly adding blank records and one subform I would like to stay blank repopulates with data, though not necessarily the most recently added record. Both of these seem to happen when I navigate to other main records in the database and then return to this page.Using Access 2013, I have a large form with 10 pages. On one of the pages, I have two subforms. This is set up to gather many-to-one data. The top subform is my data entry form with three fields (two combo and a text) and a command button. The bottom subform is a datasheet displaying the three fields.
The two combo boxes are cascading, and they work great. The text box is there to collect additional info for each selection.
The command button works to
1) save the record,
2) requery both subforms in order to display the new data on the datasheet,
3) clear the combo and text boxes, and 4) set focus back to the initial combo box. It all works!
But then when I leave that main record, the horror begins: blank records (from the "many" table) show up on the datasheet and the data entry fields do not stay blank. I suspect my problem is in the command button. I added this code to the OnClick for the command button:
Code:
Private Sub addMinistryItems_Click()
'save record
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
'requery both subforms
Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Child572.Form.Requery
Forms![BCD MAIN 2013]!Ministries1.Form.Requery

I am importing about 1.5 million records from a .txt file into an Access database. I have the code that splits the records and adds them to the database. However, the database has a 'specialty' table that lists certain specialty codes. The incoming record has a field that is a specialty code. Any way to search the 'specialty' table for the code that is coming in on the record to be added, and then, if the record 'code' is not found, skip it, and if it is found, add it to the database. There are about 70 codes in the 'specialty' table.
View 9 Replies View Relatedvba code for filtering the records of the form made out of a table. The form contains combos that contain the lists of unique records in several colomns of the source tale. So i need to filter the records of the form using the combination of the values of that combos. But can't even apply a single filter using this code:
Me.Filter = "Business = " & list59.Value
Me.FilterOn = True
"Business" is the name of the column in the source table, and the "list59" is the name of the combo which contains the unique records of the "Business"
the code takes place as a button "apply" is pressed
I am using combo box to filter records from a form. The data source for the form is from a query.
I use the combo box within the query to filter the data, I would like the form to refresh/ run the query again every time a new selection is made from the combo box.
I am trying to set a date filter that filters between two dates (Start/End) after I have selected filters from other combo boxes. This is what I Have so far and is a bit of a mess.
I have two text boxes - txtStartDate and txtEndDate
If Nz(Me.txtStartDate.Text) = "" Then
Me.Form.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
ElseIf Me.cboCity.ListIndex <> -1 Then
Me.Form.Filter = Me.Form.Filter = "NextCallDate
[Code] .....
So the idea is I will filter all records by my name then by status then by city and then by start date and end date.
Custom filter I'm trying to set up. I have a data full of records with multiple columns and a form linked up to it. The form has a search box that works as well as navigation buttons.
Currently I am trying to get a filter to work. The filter will use up to five combo foxes to narrow down the fields, then return the filtered records after clicking a button. The button itself is where my code is. My issue now though is I cannot get the filter to work if I try to use more than one combo box.
The code I have at the moment is as follows:
'------------------------------------------------------------
' cmdApplyFilter_Click
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()
Me.Filter = "[Asset Group] = " & Me.cmbFilter1 & "" And "[Location] = " & Me.cmbFilter4 & ""
Me.FilterOn = True
End SubThe current error I am getting is Error 13: Type mismatch. I also know that the And might be the cause but I cannot change it to AND: it keeps changing back.
I am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?
How can I create a "Filter Button" on a form and filter my records? I create a textbox on a form and a filter button on the right. Then I click the filter futton, the filter function will search/match the content in the box through the datasheet. And then the results of the filtering will be pop up on the split form datasheet.

Hi,
I have a query that gives an out put of 'worst offenders'. these offenders are in order of on field ascending (number of entries made per week) and another field descending (total sales).
It is by the combination of the sorting of these fields that we have an ordered list of offenders.
For my report i want to only see the top 10 records of this sorted list.
so for this selection i simply want to select the [B]first 10 records [B]of the ordered list. I cant make a selection by any one particular field(as explained above)
i have looked into the 'select top' functions and 'dfirst', but I dont think they'll work for me.
Any ideas?
Slighlty confused,

hey guys, im having one last problem with a report im making. just want to thank boblarson, Rich and Dennisk for all the help they have given me upto now, i have added to your reputation guys, thanks!
My problem is as follows:

I need to have a report of products to send out to customers, so i created a check box to "tick" if i want to include it in the report. So far so good, however, the report shows each product several times for each supplier :(
can anyone tell me how to select only the supplier with the lowest supplier price for each product
Cheers guys
Hope someone can help.
I am building a database to evaluate football team performance. I have a table with results (tblResults) where a team will have records in either the Home Team or Away Team fields depending on the fixture.
I want to include a "Team Form" calculation that selects the last 6 games for each team (both home & away) and allocates points to calculate a recent form stat for comparison with the opposition.
I have tried using the TOP VALUES option in a query, but I can't seem to get it to extract the top 6 in descending date order for every team.
Would be very grateful if someone could help!
I created a personal database for keeping track of my meeting schedules. My table has Date field, Time field and Subject field. I have made several entries. On a given day, I have several meetings at different times.
I created a combo box in my form to choose the Date and see that day’s meetings. The meetings list of the date chosen by combo box should appear in my form. But here I think I made a mistake. Each record has date, time and subject. When I click the combo box, the drop down list shows the same date many times (as I have entered the same date but different time and subject for each record). How do I make the combo box display the date only once and not same date several times? Do I have to change the table set up? Please guide me.
I have a database that allows the user to order clothing items.
Each size of each item has a different stock number.
I have [StockNo] - [StaffNo] - [Qty] i need to generate [OrderNo].
The problem i have is that [OrderNo] is incremented after every five five items (ie[StockNo]).
This gives me my first problem of selecting just the first five records of a table in order to allocate an order number.
The second problem i have is that in order to allocate an order number, i have to summarise the [Qty] by [StockNo].
This gives me the opportunity to select the order number but i lose the individual [StaffNo] information.
This information, together with the [OrderNo] is needed for a master order table.
I have created a crosstab query which summarised the [StockNo]but how do i retrieve the [StaffNo] information from the column headings.
I am new to Access and would be grateful for any help or comments as to whether i am going about solving this problem in the best way.
Thanks
Hi,

ok so I want a form that has a combo box with [item_id, item_name] on each row that i select. when i select one it displays the relevant quantity and allows me to edit the quantity.
any ideas how i can do this?
Thanks:)
I'm trying to write an app that will allow the user to search for records based on database fields, then select a subset of those records to be manipulated by other functions. The VBA book I'm reading led me to believe that a RecordSet would be the best way to store this subset of records, but searching around on the web has pointed me toward using a DAO.QueryDef. I can't seem to get either method to work!
Here's a quick overview of the app: everything is placed on one form. I have two tab controls that make a sort of upper and lower set of pages. One of the lower pages has the search functions. The user enters his search criteria into one or more textboxes (correlating to database fields, i.e. Last Name, SSN, etc), then hits the Search button. This should query the database, then populate a listbox with the search results. The user can then select one or more records from the listbox, hit another button, and the selected records are copied to another listbox on a page on the upper half of the form, where they can be further manipulated.
Can someone advise me on the best objects to use to accomplish this? A short code sample would be awesome.
By the way, does VBA have some sort of online API reference (like Java)? I know that MS Access has the object browser, but it doesn't give descriptions of the objects, nor does it list methods that can be invoked on them. Could someone also point me towards some good programmer's resources?
Thanks...
I am using an unbound box on the top of a form where I would like to select a clients name and have the form populate with their info. My problem is that the box will pull up the record by last name, but only pull up the first record with that last name in alphabetical order.
Example, If I have the following names in my database
Ben Smith
John Smith
Tim Smith
If I select "john smith" from the drop down "ben smith" will show up, if I select "tim smith" "ben smith" will still show up. If I select "ben smith" the correct record would show up.
An image of the property sheet is attached ....
I tried the Crystal Reports forum, but no responses. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong with the below statement in Crystal Reports 8.5. I'm
trying to select reecords that exceed 7 days based on a Crystal Reports parameter. The parameter has the format of 2/27/2006 (Discrete value). The 'LastRouteDate' has a format of 'datetime'. Thanks ! ! !
{?Select_Date} - DateValue({Applications.LastRouteDate}) > 7
I have a problem I should be able to solve, but I can't think my way around it.
I need to automate a series of tasks to perform the following:
1. The user clicks a button on a menu form and arrive at a select records form.
2. The user makes choices regarding the contents of certain fields (blank, not blank, equals a text string, etc.) and presses OK.
3. On the OK click, the fields are applied to a query, the results of which are exported in an excel spreadsheet.
I've been doing step 2 and 3 by hand in that I alter the selections in the design view of the query and save it. I then run a macro that deletes the data in the current table, runs the append query with the new criteria, and creates an excel spreadsheet of the new data.
However, I now have to make this functionality available to a non-tech person, thus the need to create a GUI menu that can launch a form on which the user can select options and with a single click, launch the macro.
I've tried adapting select forms that I've used with forms and reports using the doCmd.openquery, but they will only work for select or crosstabs, not appends. I considered having the form create the query and then qrite the append query off that, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Can anyone give me some direction on where I can take this?
Thanks.

I was wondering if someone could help me.
I have a simple table with data that gets updated daily. I need to split the data into 5 equal parts for work distribution. Because the amount of records always changes I can not go by numbering so I need to go by percentage, to split it into 5 ( 20% ) parts. Please help.
