I'm trying to retrieve the value of a record in a table. Why doesn't this work:
tabName = "Plan Data"
Dim db As DAO.Database, rst As Recordset
Dim strQryWhole As String
Dim dbStatus As Integer, rcnt As Long
[code]....
why the below VBA code is not retrieving the last record in a table.
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim i As Integer
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Table_Check_Number_List")
[code]....
I am trying to retrieve data for a particular record.
When Project field matches a certain project number I want it to pick the record with the latest date in the date field field to select certain data fields(Owner & Rating) from that record.
Below is my attempt. However the problem is that displays all records with that project number and not just the record with the latest date.
Code:
SELECT [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, Max([Combined PRB Roadmap].DateField) AS MaxOfFDateField, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating
FROM [Combined PRB Roadmap]
GROUP BY [Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Owner, [Combined PRB Roadmap].Rating
HAVING ((([Combined PRB Roadmap].ProjectNumber)="NR-4237"));
I am new to access programming.Is it possible to store a variable in one form and then retrieve it to auto fill a field on another form .
I know hot to Dim and store on the same form but trying to retrieve from another form i cant do .
I presume the second form would be something like this OnLoad Variable=forms"customers"customersFK...
I have an Access Database that I will be using on a desktop. I have a table in this database that mirrors the structure of a table on a remote server in a SQL database. I have successfully created a vba function within the Access database that uses a server-side php subroutine to select records (I usually won't know how many) from the SQL database and return them to the access database. The code I use in the access vba subroutine to access the php subroutine is:
Code:
With CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
Set ieWindow = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ieWindow.Visible = False
apiShowWindow ieWindow.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE
ieWindow.Navigate "Web address for server-side php file"
End With
The last command in my php subroutine is "return $retrievedData." $retrievedData is a multidimensional array containing data from 42 fields in multiple records (again, I usually won't know how many). I've checked the data in php so I know it has been stored correctly.how do I access the returned data within my access vba subroutine?
I should add that my overall reason for doing it this way is that I want to maintain my server-side database as an untouched master. Users can only add data to it. My client-side database is used to update the input table and further process the data. The subroutines described above are intended to retrieve "new" records only (i.e., records posted since the last access database update) from the server-side database and transfer them to the access database for further processing.
Continuing with production of my database I've come across another wall that I'm trying to pass. My aim is when the user press the "Quit" button it will export everything to a file which is stored on Google Drive as google drive is installed on the laptops that will be using this database.
However the problem is Google drive is stored in the computer user files i.e C:UsersstudentGoogle Drive - is there a way to retrieve the name of the user that is logged into windows?
Code:
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal IpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function ThisUserName() As String
Dim LngBufLen As Long
Dim strUser As String
[code]....
However cant get this to work - I think that is probably because i'm declaring this code in the wrong place - I've tried declaring the private functions in a class module and the functions in a module - however no success - How do you set this code up? Or is there a new way to do this?
I wrote this module
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function OdometerInput(varodometer As Variant) As Long
Dim varKilometres As Variant
varKilometres = varodometer * 1.609344
OdometerInput = CLng(varKilometres)
End Function
It works fine in the immediate window (although I haven't just fathomed what to do with null values and such) But my question which I am sure will be 'easy when you know' is how do I pass the variable to it from a text box on a form and retrieve the data in another text box on a form.
Front end Access 2010, back-end SQL-server 2008 R2.
Normally I retrieve a certain value by Dlookup("myvalue", "mytable",...)
or
strSQL = "SELECT myvalue FROM mytable...;"
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, 4)
But is there any faster way to retrieve a single value from an SQL-server table, beside doing doing the select by a stored procedure running through a pass through query, then open a recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("mypassthroughquery")
just to retrieve ONE value?
I could not find something like DLookup("...) for an SQL-Server or in T-SQL.

I have an Access2003 database that contains a table. The table has 2 fields. One is a counter and the other stores a picture which is datatype ole object. I want to do a one time export of the pictures. I want to save the pictures as jpegs in a designated directory. I know very little about working with ole object datatypes. Can someone tell me the easiest way to do this?

Is there a way to retrieve the very last entry to a table (via a query) without passing a value to the query.
Lets say I have a table Pets
ID desc
==============
1 Dog
2 Cat
3 Lizard
For example lizard was added last, is there a way I could pull just this out using a query? (keep in mind that I don't know wahat the last entry is, so I cannot pass any kind of value to the query)
Cheers,

Hello all,
I would like, from a form, to get the file size of a particular file.
I would really like something like: FileSize("C: estfile.exe")
I am sure I have had something like this before, but cannot for the life of me find the answer I originally got!
Thanks!
I have created an expense database but I now want to try to add fields to the main form which will allow the users to select their car engine capacity and the price they paid per litre to establish how much VAT can be reclaimed. A small extract from the table from customs & excise is set out as below (although the table headers have moved a bit). There are 5 engine capacity headers and numerous pence per litre rows.
Pence per litreUp to 1000cc1001 to 1500cc
75.08.5259.653
75.28.5509.682
75.58.5759.710
75.78.6009.738
75.98.6259.767
76.19.6509.795
So if someone had a car with the engine size between 1001 to 1500cc and had paid 75.7p per litre for their fuel we could reclaim VAT @ 9.738p per mile.
Is there anyway I can get access to look up this information for me?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing the following two fields, one with monthly dates (end of month plus year) and one with profits (per month). However, for some dates the records are missing. For example, for the 31-1-1994 there is no record (not in the date field, nor in the profits field).
How can i create a query that will only show me the records if 10 or more monthly subsequent profits are known, so meaning that in those 10 months no records are missing? So that only the timespans without the gaps (missing records) are shown.
So if the 31-1-1994 and the 30/6/1994 record are missing, then the 4 subsequent records in between those two dates should not be shown,, since the amount of records is not 10 or more. However, if the next missing date would be 30/6/1995, then all the 11 subsequent records between 30/6/1994 and 30/6/1995 should be shown. Since the number of records is bigger than the required 10.
Thanks for helping me out!

Hi,
I making a query which creates a list of customers in a month. For the start and end dates of the month, they are retrieved from a table and put into 2 seperate subforms. The query isn't working through, so I was wondering if anyone would see where I'm doing wrong.
In the order_date field in the query, I have this as the criteria:
Between [Forms]![sub_fltStart]![DateList_Start] And [Forms]![sub_fltEnd]![DateList_End]
If you want any more clarification then just ask :)
Cheers,

EDIT: spelling/grammer
Need some help, please.
I'm writing a simple report that needs to show individuals and the number of times that each individual has been designated the author and/or owner of a document.
The two tables in the query (simplified) are: Person, with columns personID (PK) and personName; Document with columns docID (PK), authorID and ownerID.
Each report line needs to show one line per person, with the ID, name, count of authorID and ownerID (showing the number of times he/she was designated the author and/or owner of one or more documents).
For example:
ID ... Name ..........Author ... Owner
1 .... John Smith .... 0 ......... 3
2 .... Mary Smith .... 2 ......... 0
3 .... Peter Smith ... 1 ......... 2
I need to create a query to retrieve one row per person, then do some kind of subselect (?) to count the number of matches for Person.personID against Document.authorID and Document.ownerID.
I'm having all kinds of problems in what I thought would be a simple SQL statement. Can't find anything out there, so all suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.

.................................................. .................................................
Ans:
It would be nice if you could find out the formulae for working out the pence per mile bit based on the cc.
Either way, I think your table needs changing to this design
Price. . . . CC. . . . . . . . . . . . . VAT
75.0 . . . .1000. . . . . . . . . . . .8.525
75.0 . . . .1000 to 1500. . . . . . .9.653
etc
etc

Thanks,
Unfortunately I can't get hold of a formula. I'm still not sure how I would look up a value, even if I changed the table as you suggested. The user would need to select a cc size and then a price per litre which would then need to be cross referenced to give a value. I could set up different tables for each engine size, but then I'm not sure how I could point the answer at the correct table.
I don't even know if what I am trying to do is possible in access.
.................................................. .................................................. .
Sharon, you could have the price per litre in one ComboBox and the engine size in another. Both these would then be the criteria for a query.
Can you post your Db and I'll have a look for you, failing that I could knock one up (in Access97)

I think I've attached the file, but I've never done this before so it might not be there!
The table I'm trying to create is called pence per litre but it is completely stand alone at the moment until I can work out how to get any information out of it. I have changed the table to your suggested layout but have only entered a few records, there are hundreds to be entered if it can be made to work!
Thanks

In my employee attendance database each record contains an employee id#, a number corresponding to an attendance infraction, and a corresponding date. Each week a clerk queries the database to pull up records for all employees who have a yearly 'total number' of infraction values over a certain numerical limit.
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to:
1 - Calculate that yearly 'total number' for every employee.
2 - Retrieve the date of the most recent attendance infraction for each employee that has a total value that is over the limit?
Thanks
Hi Everyone.
Lets hope that after finding this forum, my slight problems will begin to ease off a little.
I am unfortunately one of those newbies trying to get in well above my head and level of ms access workings, but we all have to start somewhere, right?!
My problem at the moment is as follows:
The scenerio is i work for an excursions provider in Cyprus and I am trying to set up an online excursions site for them.
Now with any excursion, the price flutuates through the year when its low season, high season etc. I have built a MS Access database with the following tables so far.
Excursions details: this contains everything about the excursion on offer, along with additional columns for the price changes and dates that these apply for. ie. [adprice1][fromdate1][todate1], [adprice2][fromdate2][todate2] etc
Now what I am trying to acheive if at all possible is that when a viewer takes an interest in an excursion and selects the date they would like to go on the excursion, that the correct price is displayed for that specific time period i.e if it the date was betwen [fromdate1][todate1] or [fromdate2][todate2]
Is this at all possible and if so can someone please explain to me in real laymans terms what I need to do for this too occur within the database please.
Thank you in advance and sorry for waisitng anybody's time if this seems obvious to others and not myself!
Regards

I've got an access database that I am working on, but I have now ran into a problem where I can not figure out the correct VBA syntax to use. As a sidenote - I am using Access 2003. What I would like to do is find out the syntax to use to retrieve data from a query result.
I have a query, that when ran, searches a table that contains 4 columns. The query prompts the user to enter a number which would be found in column 1. It then searches for every match of that number that was entered, and only returns a result if there is an occurrence where column 4 is empty on the same row. The max number of occurrences where column 4 can be empty is 1. So to summarize, when I run the query, it either returns a blank record (with a 0 in the first 2 columns and last 2 columns blank) or it will return a record that matches the criteria.
What I would like to do is if no records are found, I need to go to the Time_IN form. If 1 result is found, I need to go to the Time_OUT form. I am unsure of the syntax to use and my IF statement fails every time, reverting to the else statement. Here is a copy of the current code I am using (The Me.MO_ID = Null was my attempt at retrieving the results from the query):
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Command3_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command3_Click
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Open MO Evaluation Query", acViewNormal, acEdit

hi, im a bit stuck. i am creating a mail merge and i want access to retrieve only the first character of the forename to input into the mail merge.
e.g. Dear Mr. R Price.
I want the 'R' to be retrieved by access from the full forename, so 'R' would be retrieved from the name Robert in the forename field.
Thx
Hi All,
I need to make a payment based on the latest Verify Number to a specific person so i am trying to create a form that is focused around a person, looks up the latest Verify number and can make a new payment number to add new payments.
In my tables, it works perfectly excluding the latest Verify number whereas i do not have any filters set. The Verify numbers can change which is why i need to make a new payment based on the latest Verify number. Using this number, i can add many payments to a Payment Number and add many Payment Numbers to a Verify Number for example:
John
Verify NumberGo4566546
Payment Number 44
Payments101Work carried out £800
102Delivery costs £100
103Material Cost £400
Payment Number 49
Payment 168 Work Carried out £700
170Work Carried out£450
Verify Number Go4566952
Payment Number 50
Payments171Work Carried Out£900
177Work Carried Out£500
Steve
Verify Number Go5877654
Payment Number 51
Payments178Cleaning£120
My Tables are linked as follows:
Person Table( name of table )
PersonID( unique ID of that person )
Verify Table( name of table )
VerifyID( unique ID of the Verify Number )
PersonID( linking to Person Table )
PayNo Table( name of table )
PayNoID( unique Payment Number )
VerifyID( linking to Verify Table )
Payments( name of table )
PaymentID( unique Payment ID )
PayNoID( linking to PayNo table )
The Payments figures have no relevance as they are numbers given by the person to me so i do not need to link them, i only need to link the table they are entered onto.
I am trying to get this onto one form whereas i can see who i am paying, the latest verify number, the last payment number to the person and the last payments in a table. Then, i can click add a new payment number, and i can add a new set of payments t the newly created payment number.
Hope this makes sense!!
many thanks,
Nigel
Hello,
I have a table with part orders and I want to retrieve my five most recent orders in a query. That means I'll need the 5 most recent orderids How would I mention that in my criteria?
Kind regards,
