I have a check for lots of different data in a string and wondered if i can use CASE or similar.Sample code reads...
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give & Take", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give Take", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "give and take", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give and", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "priority working", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "priority boards", 1) Then TM = "Standard"
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp", 1) Then TM = "2 Way"
In my developing application I am making use of searchboxes to narrow down the amount of records. On a form I have a textbox and a subform with a table connected. In the textbox I can type a character that will be used in an 'Instr' SQL query. I am using the code to query one field. (see code below) In what direction do I have to look to make this code usefull to search through two fields. In my case that will be Tag and Function.
Code:
Private Sub mnu3_txt_UnitbookSearch_Change() Dim SQLstring As String SQLstring = "Instr(Tag, " & "'" & Me.mnu3_txt_UnitbookSearch.Text & "'" & ")" ReReadDescriptions SQLstring
I want to that the WHERE clause for a SQL statement that I am using options on a form to build. I intend to use the clause in opening a datasheet form.
This is the code I have for getting the substring
Code:
Dim intPos As Integer Dim tempString As String Dim BaseQueryFormStr As String 'BaseQueryFormStr is used to reopen the BaseMasterQueryFrm with the specified parameters tempString = "WHERE"
Basically I want to check if the Reporting Month already exists in the Months Table. If it exists it should ask the User wheter to overwrite or not. If the User clicks on OK it should delete one record from Months Table if the User clicks no, nothing should happen.However it doesn't delete the record, when I click on OK.
Code:
Public Sub IMPORT_Click() Dim filelocation As Variant Dim f As Object Dim Message As String, Title As String, Default As String Dim sql As String Dim MsgReply As Integer
My problem now is about evaluating the result of that query in order to calculate quarterly and annual performances. The query returns correctly:
1) NULL - when I don't have values in the given month 2) 0 - when one of the components of the performance formula is 0 3) value (positive or negative) which can include any positive or negative value
In order to calculate the quarterly values I need the performance of the last month in the quarter and the first month in the quarter. My monthly values are stored in columns so say for Quarter 1, I would need something like this:
Code: [mar]/[jan]-1
As you might have thought, the problems come when I have NULL or 0 values. Let me give you a couple of examples.
[jan] is NULL [feb] is a value [mar] is a value
Than my formula would have been
Code: [mar]/[feb]-1
Second case:
[jan] is 0 [feb] is 0 [mar] is 0
In this case I would like the formula return '-' because I want to be able to spot the case in which the quarterly performance is 0 because the initial values were 0 from the case in which the performance was actually 0 (i.e., say [jan] = 101 and [mar] = 101 then performance is 0 which is different from having [jan] and [mar] = 0 thus performance '-').You can combine the three states (NULL, 0, value) with the three months and find many combinations (I have found 27 relevant ones).
I initially thought to use SWITCH in SQL to evaluate the 27 combinations but I found out that SWITCH would evaluate non more than 15 conditions. So I guess the solution should be use a function in VBA which does what I was about to do with SWITCH in SQL.
I have built a test function which evaluates the numerator of my formula using only two cases (CASE 1: all variables have a value <>0, and CASE 2: the first month is null, the second is 0 and the third a value). Here the code:
Code: Function evaluate_s(Var1, Var2, Var3) As Double Select Case Var1 Case Is <> 0
[code]....
My main question here is what is wrong in the syntax of my function. Why is not correctly evaluating at least the two cases in my function? I always get 0 for all records.
I want to know if it's possible to make a dynamic select case. In my form I have 3 separate combo boxes. What I want to happen is depending on what was selected in one the options in the other two change and if you select something in the second the option in the third narrows down again. The user can select these in any order. They can use one by itself or all three independently. In my code I can do this with many select statements, e.g
Select Case Me.combobox1.Value Case "choice1" Forms!CurrentForm!combobox2.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Forms!CurrentForm!combobox2.RowSource = "SELECT fieldname FROM tablename WHERE fieldname = '" & Me.combobox1.Value & "'" End Select
In the place I have "choice" is it possible to write something along the lines of,Me.combobox1.value = "SQL Code"..The idea that this code would still work if the user adds more data to the tables which these combobox choices come from.
I have a boolean array, foundState(3), whose 4 elements correspond to 4 variables describing conditions that will dictate what action is taken upon closing a form.
There are only 6 possible outcomes for the array, and they can be divided into just 4 cases:
Case {T,T,T,T}
Case {T,T,T,F} OR {T,T,F,F} OR {T,T,F,T}
Case {T,F,F,F}
Case {F,F,F,F}
What the proper syntax would be for this if I'm trying to create a "Select Case" statement for these 4 cases.
I have two queries called "Query_match_AND" and "Query_match_OR". I want to show the total number of records for either of these queries in a form called "form_candidates_result" depending upon the combo box value (either "AND" or "OR") in a form called "form_match".If I put
Code:
=DCount("*","Query_match_AND")
in the control source of [candidatecount] in "form_candidates_result", the value is shown in the form and it works fine.If I use the following code in either of the "on load" or "on open" events in "form_candidates_result"...
Code:
Select Case [Forms]![form_match]![ANDOR]
Case "AND" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_AND") Case "OR" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_OR") End Select
I'm new to access vba and I'm trying to create a login form. I have already my code to login but i want to validate the password in 'case sensitive' basis. Below is only what I've got so far.
Code: Private Sub cmdLogin_Click() Dim login_validation As Variant login_validation = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", "Username='" & Nz(txtUsername.Value, "") & "'") If Nz(login_validation, "") <> Nz([txtPassword].Value, "") Then MsgBox "Incorrect Password. Please try again." txtUsername.Value = "" txtPassword.Value = "" txtUsername.SetFocus Else MsgBox "Hi " & txtUsername.Value & "," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "you have successfully login!" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain" End If End Sub
I have an issue with this case select below. The DelayStart is time so lets say I put in the debug window
?DatePart("h", #04:00pm#)
The result would be 16 which is correct BUT the issue is my second shift starts at 04:01pm and the result is still 16 untill 5pm. How do I fix this so I get the correct shifts? Im guesing use something other than DatePart but what?
Code: Public Function getShiftForRecord(DelayStart As Variant) On Error Resume Next Select Case DatePart("h", DelayStart) Case 6 To 16 'Daylight 6:00am - 4:00pm
I'm trying to update some field value depending two string field using a function with if and case, function below:
Code: Private Function checkDATI(tipotransazione As String, tipovendita As String) As String Dim r As String r = "" If tipotransazione = "VENDITA" Then Select Case tipovendita
[code]...
And then when I call this function in a command button event as:
I would like to select a case depending on the output of a function.
This function tests the syntax of the reporting month.
If the syntax is fine nothing should be done further in the main sub else it should return to the Input window for the reporting month.
Somehow it doesn't work out.
Code: Public Function RepMonthCheck(rep_date As String) as Boolean If Len(rep_date) <> 6 Or Left(rep_date, 2) > 12 Or Left(rep_date, 2) < 1 Then MsgBox ("Reporting rep_date is not in the correct format = mmyyyy") Return False ElseIf Right(rep_date, 4) > 9998 Then MsgBox ("No forecast available for year 9998")
I am trying to get a Case Statement to evaluate multiple conditions. Example: below when I get diagnosis code 20400 and the age_at_diagnosis is 40 the code is basically ignoring the second condition of the Case "And rs![Age_At_Diag] < 18". How do I get the code to recognize both conditions?
Code:
Private Sub cmd_Update_Conditional_Codes_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset
I am trying to add various values based on Select Case to the value of field. The problem I face is that each time when I get different Case in select statement, the value of the field rather changing adds the value on top.
Code: Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate() Dim qflPrice As Variant Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlQry As String Dim instID As Integer
I need to make a query that will show the oldest cases and then open this one in the main form. It will be possible that there could be several cases with the same date. For example the query runs and the results are 7, how could I get one of those cases in the main form.
The idea is that a person will click on a button called "next case", the query will run and then it will open the case in the main form.
I know when creating a text field in the format option you can use the > or < sign so that when text is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know how I can do this....
I have a lengthy CASE statement in my database that displays specific text in a field based on the value of another. Simple stuff but for some reason it randomly will not work on certain values, and never the same one twice. Is there a commonly known cause for this? I have verified that the spelling and spacing etc. are correct in my code so that shouldn't be causing the problem.
Details: I have a Profile form that tracks the expiration date for each client's various certifications. These dates are set up in the Short Date format in the table design of Access.
Problem: When a user accidentally presses an alphabetic key while updating an expiration date, an Access error message is triggered. This is confusing to my users as these messages are written in Access lingo. I would rather that nothing occurs at all. I wrote a case statement to disable each letter of the alphabet and applied it to the On Key Down Event for each expiration date control on my Profile form to solve this problem, but this must be applied to 28 separate controls. I would rather call a function that disables alphabetic keys for each date control in my form when called.
Questions: How do I transform my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a function that I can call for each expiration date control? I know that when writing a function certain variables have to be declared and/or initialized.
Also, will I need to create a function to re-enable alphabetic keys or is this unnecessary because the disable alpha keys function will only be called for specific controls, not the entire form?
What I Have Tried: I have tried copying and pasting my Disable Alphabetic Keys Case Statement into a module to attempt to create a function, but it needs work.
Below I have included 2 types of code: (1) The original On Key Down code applied to each date control on my form (2) The same code written as an attempt at a function
Original Profile Form Code to Disable Alphabetic Keys in the On Key Down event for each date control
Private Sub txtCert1ExpDate_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode 'All message box text is for me to test the code, not for the user to see Case vbKeyA MsgBox ("you pressed the A key")
I need alot of advice from you guys! Basically I have a table that contains address data, and I want to isolate the country name - it may be either by itself in a field or in a string.
To do this, I have created three tables:
one with supplied data containing address data (tblProcessData) one with a list of countries (tblCountryName) and one with a list of alternative country names (tblAlternativeCountryName).
tblCountryName has all the 'correct' country names (eg. UK) and tblAlternativeCountryName has any other spellings of this (eg. United Kingdom, Great Britain, GB etc. etc.) I have joined the two together using the Primary Key of tblCountryname to a number field in the tblAlternativeCountryName (one-to-many relationship).
My question is, what is the best way of isolating the country name in the table? I was attempting to run an update query to find the country name based on 2222 records, but when I went to run it as a select query, it comes up with 142208 records, and the instr value is 0. Why is this?
SELECT tblProcessData.[6], InStr([tblProcessData]![6],[tblCountryName]![CountryName]) AS Expr1, InStr([tblProcessData]![6],[tblAlternativeCountryName]![AlternativeCountryName]) AS Expr2 FROM tblProcessData, tblCountryName INNER JOIN tblAlternativeCountryName ON tblCountryName.CountryNameID = tblAlternativeCountryName.CorrectCountryName;
I need to bee able to query out all entries that are not like the following format S01-19-01-3. Users are entering incorrect data such as So1-19-o1-3, S0119-01-3, S01-19-01-3. Users are supposed to enter the data with One letter, 3 dashes and 7 numbers. If they enter any other way I need to be able to identify it with out searching through some 4000 records. Please help
I'm examining a previously written query and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the minus sign does when placed before the Instr function. An example of a query that successfully flips a name field is below and includes the -instr function. I've also included another query below this one that is much more simple and does the same thing. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I am trying to write a query that will search a field for a string until it discovers a comma. If there isn't a comma I want the field left as is. If there is a comma I want it to grab all strings before the comma and then take the string after the comma and flip the arrangement to another field..ie (flipname)
example if a field has [Smith, John] I want it displayed as John Smith
Here's is the code I was attempting to use below, it generates syntax errors!
SELECT Exercise1.name, Iif(Instr[name],",")=0,[Name], Mid([name],Instr([name]),+1,instr([name]),",")-1 as expr1 FROM Exercise1;
