Newbie Needs Help Writing Query

May 17, 2006

OK, I have two tables that have pretty much the same data in them, but, the first table has SOME data that the second table doesn't and I need to get that data into the table that does not have it.

Here's a description of what I want to do:

Table #1 has about 10,000 lines of data with the employee SSN as the ID for the records. In this table are two extra columns of data (HRContact)and(HR ContactCode) that are not always populated in Table #2.

Table #2 has about 300,000 lines of data with the SSN as the ID field. Some of the records that match the SSN's from Table #1 have the data HRContact and HRContactCode, but not all of the records have those fields populated.

So, what I need to happen is for the query to go through Table #1, find the SSN of a record. As it finds each SSN, it goes to Table #2, finds that same record with the same SSN, then looks in the HRContact field to see if there is data there, or if it is Null. If there is data in that field, then it goes on to the next SSN in Table #1 and repeats the preceeding process. If the data in HRContact is Null in Table #2, then it goes back to Table #1 and grabs the HRContact and HRContactCode data for that record and writes it into the HRContact and HRContactCode field for the record in Table #2. the query would repeat this process until it reaches the end of file in Table #1.

I hope this is clear and if you have any questions, please ask me...

Thanks for your help,
Dave

Trouble Writing Query Value To Form

Feb 10, 2006

I have a query called VOLTEST that is not bound to the form. VOLTEST sums a field in a table from a subform. When the input is finished in the subform and control goes back to the main form, I want the total from the VOLTEST to show in a field on the form that is not a tab stop. Basically, this is just for reference.
I have tried to put =[VOLTEST]![SumOftest_value] in the control source of the field on the form but I keep getting "Name?" as the result instead of the sum total.
I can run the query in the gotfocus of the first field in the tab order after the subform and I get the correct result in a datasheet view. So, I know the query is working correctly. I just need it to show the result in field on the form.

Thanks for your help. GG

How do I write a query to find the last audit date?

Let's say the table looks like this (year,company,audit date):

2004, Company1, 6/3/2004
2005, Company2, 2/2/2005
2006, Company3, 3/7/2006
2008, Company4, 3/2/2008

Let's say I want to add a new record (in the year 2010) and pull up the last audit date. How do I do that?

Queries :: Writing A Query With 2 Points Of Criteria?

Sep 23, 2014

I wrote a basic query that allows 1 field to search another, and if there is a match, it spits it out, however, I am getting 20,000 matches. I want to add another level of query to reduce the 20,000 matches down to 1 or 2 or none...

So I consolidated a government list, publicly available, into 1 field, and created a table that I can use as my query against the large government list:

SELECT [Consolidated Denied Party Report].*, [Consolidated Denied Party Report].[31]
FROM [Consolidated Denied Party Report]
WHERE ((([Consolidated Denied Party Report].[31]) Like "*" & [Please Enter Your Search Term] & "*"));

this allows me to search for a word, like, create, and it gives me every single result however it also gives me hits to words like PROcreate, which is fine on one hand because it shows possible false flags, but it would be nice to also be able to query down a level.

I now want to have the query look at the word "create" but also look at another column that is say the country... Germany.. and if I have text in the second column, only give me a result if the word create and germany are in the same field.. if create and Italy were in the same field, it would not be a hit.

Writing Query To Find Duplicates Across Tables?

Apr 24, 2013

Employees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years. By accident some employees were writing to an archived table while others were writing the the active table. This resulted in a field called "WorkID" being duplicated across the two tables.

Bottom line I am trying to write a query finding duplicates across tables but basing the duplicate only on certain columns.

Forms :: Binding Results Of Query To Textbox Then Writing Value To Table?

May 19, 2015

Basically, I originally wanted to create a form which I can input data into Access with by using a button (I was unable to get Access to append the information from the forms to the table, so it didn't work out!). I did not want the fields on the form to be linked to a table, as then a record (and most importantly an auto-number) is created as soon as somebody starts typing. Should somebody stop typing halfway through and quit the form an autonumber will have been generated, which makes the number of "users" seem higher than it actually is. I got around this by changing the field from autonumber to number and then creating a query that selects the maximum value of ID in the table, then adds 1 to it (which is essentially the lowest unique number. I tend to call this newID).

The problem I now have is setting this to be written to the table alongside the data from the form (the rest of the fields on the form are now connected to the table, as I am no longer using an autonumber). I have tried the following: Setting the form to run the expression "[ID] = [qryMaximumUserID]![NewID] " on load. This returns the error "The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'qryMaximumUserID.' Setting the control source of the text box to be dLookup. This fills the textbox with the correct value, but then it doesn't write it to the table! Setting the default value of the field to be 0, then running an update query to update any ID of 0 (criteria "0" to the value of newID "update to: [qryMaximumUserID].[NewID]. "). However this doesn't work as whenever the query is run it asks for a parameter to be entered, rather than just taking the value from the other query. Writing a macro that is run on load to SetValue of item:[ID] to expression: [Forms]![qryMaximumUserID]![NewID]. However this returns an error "Microsoft Access cannot find the referenced form 'qryMaximumUserID' you entered in the expression.

Modules & VBA :: Writing Code To Open Query After User Selected Fields To Include From ListBox

Jan 14, 2014

Access 2007-10
Listbox created: List62 (I know I need to rename it, but for now)
Multi-select: Extended
Row Source Type: Field List
Row Source: qryFieldList
Open Query: qrySelectedFields (I added primary key to first column, just to have at least one destination field).

Goal: to select multiple fields within listbox, click on command button to open query "qrySelectedFields" with selected fields from list box.This is the code I have on the command_click:

Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strSQL As String
If Me.List62.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select one or more fields.", vbExclamation, "Healthcare REIT"
Me.List62.SetFocus
End If

[code]....

It does absolutely nothing - doesn't add the fields to "qrySelectedFields", doesn't open the query, notta.

Query Newbie

Jul 26, 2005

I have been reading this is how I am able to articulate my problem with some degree of knowledge.

I have 3 tables as Follows:

Table 1. [ID]pk, [Contestant Name],[Event],[Category],[Class]

Table 2. [ID]pk, [Judge Name],[Event],[Category]

Table 3. [ID]pk, [Contestant Name],[Event],[Category],[Class],[Score1],[Score2],[Remarks]

Table 3 is a record of score from a specific Judge to a specific contestant. There will be a record for each contestant from each judge that is judging that specific [Event] & [Category]. therefore if there are two judges and two contestants there will 4 records entered into the table.

Problems 1. (I can't get my tables related properly)
I should not have to enter the duplicate information each time I enter a record into the Table3. The common information should be available within the other tables using queries.

Why i think I have problem 1:
There is a many to many relationship here on the parent form what i want is the [Judge Name], [Event], [Category].
On the related Sub form i want to see a query that shows me parts of tables 1,2,3 for each Contestant that is entered in the matching [Event],[Category] combined with the query of 1,2,3 and be able to enter this judges scores against the contestant Name and then when I change to a new judge I may see the same contestants but be able to enter a new score record against that contestant with a different judge.

In English
Assume you are a judge for a contest you have a form in front of you
Parent form Select your Event, Name, Category from a pull down box in the sub form you are presented with a list of Contestants that are on stage. You enter Score1 & Score2 for each Contestant and the record is created.

Judge #2 is doing the same thing
He selects his Event,Name, Category from the pull down menu on the Parent form and walla the subform populates with the same contestants as Judge#1 and he enters his Score1 & Score2 into the subform
and
What we have is 2 Judges, 5 Contestants and 10 Records created into Table3

Sorry for the length but the last part helps me visualize what I am trying to explain.

End result is I can't get it to work is this a job for a union query ?

Newbie Needs Query Help

Oct 25, 2004

I work for a nonprofit. Everyone has 10 jobs. I am the only person who uses/has used access. I have a donor database listing names addresses, and different fields for donations made/not made for each year. I do simple queries to pull names from the list that our board members would like to personalize a letter to, and the rest goes to a mailing service for addressing and stuffing of envelopes. This year, we would like to send a different letter to those who have donated in any of the last 3 years. I can pull contact info and the 3 fields (donted 2003, 2002, and 2001) together in a query, but not sure what to make the criteria. If I put >1 (since some of my fields automatically have a zero, and are therefore not null), then I only get those names that have donated all three years. Some may have donated two years ago, and not again, some may have donated only last year, or 2 out of 3 years, etc. I know there must be a way to do this, but can't get my head there having only had basic interaction with access. I know by process of elimination how many there should be, so I will know if it runs correctly. Hope this makes some sense. Bear in mind, I am a novice, and certainly not a software person.

Newbie Help With A Complicated Query

Sep 26, 2006

First off let me say that I'm VERY new to Access. I've been put in charge of administering a large (to me) database and I've just started working with the insides of the database for about 3 weeks now.

The most urgent thing though is I need to make an "Honour Roll" report for the employees, that is, they get pass/fail inspections and I'm trying to create a query that returns all employees that have 10 or more passes IN A ROW, with at least 2 of those passes being a personal evaluation vs. an after the fact quality verification. There's already a query in the database that returns the employee ID, total passes, total fails. I've managed to add the field that includes type of inspection, but I can't seem to find a way to count the number of PE's in the field.

The second issue is getting the query to ignore all inspections prior to their last fail. I think I can work out moving the date of the inspection into the query, but then using it is another story. If it requires a script of some sort, then I'm hopelessly lost. The last programming I did was BASIC back in school... many years ago.

If I were to break it down into a statement, it would be something like this:

If (employee passes) >= 10 since last (employee fail) AND (inspection type="PE") >=2, then send (employee ID) and info to a report.

Any help with this is appreciated, I'm starting to get desperate!

NEWBIE: How Do I Convert A Query To Text?

Mar 15, 2006

Hi,

I have a database with a query that returns a list of printers. This is created by finding all the printers in the database that take a perticular cartridge by code. Sample below.

PrinterName
-----------------
Some Printer 1
Some Printer 2
Some Printer 3
ETC

What I want to do is take the results from the query and convert it into a single line of text and place it into a column of a table related to that cartridge code.

So if say the cartridge code '12345' returns a list of printers such as;

printer 1
printer 2
printer 3

I want to take this data and turn it into a line like this;

printer 1, printer 2, printer 3

I then want to take this new line and place it in a column called Desc in another table relative to the original cartridge code.

table should look like this after query.
BEFORE:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 |


AFTER:
CartCode | CartDesc | Price | Desc
12345 | Something here | 10.00 | printer 1, printer 2, printer 3

I hope what I have said makes sence. I am pretty new to access and feel I have done quite well so far. Please can someone help me solve this problem?

Thank you
