Optional (multiple) Calendar Criteria
May 10, 2006
I am using this criteria with my calender on my form...
>=([Forms]![frmReport]![txtFrom]) And <=([Forms]![frmReport]![txtTo])
but I have 2 other date fields that I would like to query, so how do I go about making this optional?
Normally with a simple reference like:
Like([Forms]![frmReport]![txtFrom]) & "*"
with the form control's default value as * I tried working with that configuration but either it is not possible or I have the wrong syntax.
I'm open to a VB solution if anyone has one?
Note: I would only be using one of the date fields at any given time
thanks

I've had a look around this forum and haven't seen anything really matching my needs, but please feel free to point me in the right direction.
What I am trying to do (using macros & queries - very new to SQL / VBA) is filter by multiple fields, but also allow the user to choose to filter by different combinations of fields - such as searching for first name and suburb, or salesperson and customer source, or first name and salesperson, or suburb and customer source, or three options or one, etc etc.
There will only be a certain number of search fields, probably five or six, but how do I get the query to recognise that if one of the search boxes is blank, it should allow all records in that field and only search by the other criteria, but if all the search boxes are filled in, the results must match all the criteria?
Does this make any sense?
PS - I am planning to use a command button as an "Apply Filter" so that the filter only updates after the user has specified all the options they want.

I have a form with an option group that depending on which one is selected, opens a report with a specific query as it's source. Part of the query looks at a listbox on the form. Here is the criteria for a field: [Forms]![frmOnSearch]![tboCollDev]
I want to make this criteria OPTIONAL. So if there is nothing selected in the listbox, the query should not look at that criteria. FYI, the value that is returned from the listbox is numeric.
Thanks

Hi,
Is there a simple way to add optional criteria in a query for a subform? Basically, what I'm trying to do is have a number of comboboxes in the parent form that indicate what records are shown in the subform (these records could then be added and/or deleted). I would like to be able to have a combobox such as "Month" that would filter the data shown in the subform to that month. If no month is selected, then the subform would show all months.
Any help would be much appreciated.

On the access form I have designed , I need to give optional search option to the users. I have the following search options on the form (screenshot attached):
From Date
To Date
Port
Vessel
Voyage
---------------------
The query is as follows:
SELECT dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_NAME, dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_CD, dbo_VESSEL.VOYAGE_NUM, dbo_VESSEL.PORT_CD, dbo_VESSEL.DEPART_ACTUAL_DT, dbo_VESSEL.DIVISION_CD
FROM dbo_VESSEL
WHERE (
(dbo_VESSEL.VESSEL_CD Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtvessel]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.VOYAGE_NUM Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtvoyage]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.PORT_CD Like [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtport]) OR
(dbo_VESSEL.DEPART_ACTUAL_DT BETWEEN [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txtfromdept] And [Forms]![VESSDAT].[Form]![txttodept]));
----------------------
However, the form still prompts me to enter values for all the boxes and still doesnt show the correct data.

I'm relatively new to MS Access (using MS Access 2013 but the db should work on 2010, too) and try to develop a database for an NGO I'm working in. I created almost all the tables (all that I need for now) and made the relationships.
However now I start to create forms and later reports for the actual user. The database will store information about clients and track consultations and assistance the NGO gives to them. There will be around 50.000 to 70.000 clients in the main table. Every client has a specific Individual ID and is member of a family which itself has another specific Group ID.
Now here is my problem: The User usually searches for the respective family by the Group ID. I implemented this with a search query using the ID number of a search text box. All done and no big problem.
But sometimes the ID number is not known so the user needs to search by name (First and Last Name). I use to different textboxes for this and it works in a similar way like the number search by query (Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_SearchIC]![txt_LName] & "*"). All still good However since most of the clients are actually from arabic speaking countries, converting the names into the Latin alphabet is bound to fail and produce a lot of misspellings. Therefore I added 2 more textboxes and 3 comboboxes for the user to give more information about the client and therefore make it easier to search for the person. I was able to produce a query which gives you the right result if you have ALL information at hand. However, this is not always the case.
1) But I cannot find a way to tell the query that if the a certain textbox or combobox is empty, it shall just "ignore" it and use the information at hand. I tried this in the query by adding in the criteria OR .... Is Null. This is alright for one or two textboxes but for the many I have, it seems to be too many different combinations for the criteria. It just worked with some fields but others always had to be filled in...
2) If no information is given at all, the database should inform the user that he needs to enter at least on field. If nothing is found the user should get a msgBox saying "No IC matches your criteria".
3) The results of the searches should be given out in another form where the user can pick the person from 1-to-many results.
I attached a sample database with sample data and reduced tables, fields, and entries ...

Hi All. I have a query that is based on 1 table. I am using a form with a calendar control for the users to select the date range. In my table the date format is mm/dd/yyyy. My calendar control is pulling the date format mm/dd/yyyy I need my query to only look at the mm/dd part of the field. In my criteria field inc_date I have Between [Forms]![frm_LookUpEnquiry]![txtSelectDate] And [Forms]![frm_LookUpEnquiry]![txtDate2] I have tried the datepart but Im not sure I am doing it right. Basicly Im not sure how to parse out the date to only look at the mm/dd. Or would this be better done in a SQL query Any Idea's for this would be very appreciated. Im kinda in a bind on this one and its the last thing I have to do to finish this database.
Thanks for all you assitance in advance

I need to set calendar control as criteria for date in VBA query. I cannot find Calendar control in ActiveX tools in Acc 2010. Where is it?
Date picker seams like very slick and simple solution but I can see it only in database. As it might be solution to my problem, can date picker be used on a form as criteria for VBA query?

Before I waste a ton of time trying to do something that just isn't possible, can one of you tell me if the following is possible?
I have a database that I am using for appointments.
Is it possible to have a calendar control on a form that shows all of a person's appointments that occur during the month? For example, Joe has 3 appointments in april. Can I make the calendar show me all three dates (the appointment dates being depressed on the control) that he has appointments on? If so, can you tell me how? I can make it do one date, by making the row source the date scheduled field from the table.
Should I have seven different fields in one record for the appointments that could occur all seven days of the week?

I am trying to build a form that accepts either a single date for start and stop dates whilst allowing a range of dates to be selected for operations that cover several days.
I am using the Access 2003 calendar which is fine for selecting a single date but how do I select several dates (4-7 Mar for example) ?
Thanks in advance

On the form I need to give the user the option to select a 'from date' and 'to date' and for this I have put in 2 calender controls which have the same control source(same table column). The problem I am facing is when I select a date from one calendar, the other calendar control automatically populates with the same date and vice versa.
I need to have a functionality where 2 different date can be selected and then when the Search button is clicked, then data within the date ranges should be displayed.
what changes I need to make to acomplish this ? find a screenshot of the form attached.

I am making a calendar form in Access and want it to look like Google Calendar as much as possible. I am wondering if there is a good way to go about setting up the form to allow for multiple appointments scheduled for the same time. Designing the form to be in Week View with half hour blocks has me at 210 text boxes. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to dynamically add in controls unless you are in design view. However, how many appointments might be scheduled at the same time. I could add in as many text boxes as possible I guess, but that doesn't seem to be very efficient (and the base form is already at 210). Is there anyway to add in controls (such as text box or label) if a new appointment is added at the same time as existing ones?

I need to count records based on multiple criteria from two different tables. I have two tables (i.e. "tblTasks" and "tblTaskHistory"). The tables have a one-to-many relationship based on the "TaskID" field. "tblTasks" has a field called "AssignedTo" and "tblTaskHistory" has a field called "TaskStatus". I need to know how many tasks have been "reopened", the "reopened" status is located in the "TaskStatus" field in "tblTaskHistory". I need this count against a unique listing of employees which can be found in the "AssignedTo" field in "tblTasks".

I have two drop-downs on a form along with a child form that shows data based on a query. If both drop downs have selections, say date and dept. then the query would change and the child would show the data - that works fine, but what if one of the drop downs didn't have a value selected, as in i select a date but just want all departments so select noting from the second dd - how would i write the query to reflect this optional selection?

Is it possible to have three different report footers on the same report? I want to show one footer at a time depending on a condition met in the detail section. I already know how to check the condition but I need to know how to do the rest.
Ex:
if condition1 = A then
me!reportfooter_1.visible = true
me!reportfooter_2.visible = false
me!reportfooter_3.visible = false
end if

I currently have a bound form that adds a new student, however, I've decided I don't like bound forms as weird stuff can happen (like when the user exits in another way than I anticipated) so I'm making an unbound form which will add the student when a button is clicked. I already have this working on some other places so this should be no problem anymore.
However in my database a lot of student information is optional and only a first and last name are required (and ofcourse an autogenerated PK). So my question is how do I deal with these fields that might or might not be empty?
I could make a fairly big If ... ElseIf... construction where I slowly fill a String with all the optional fields but I was wondering if maybe there are some better ways to approach this?

How to get a third combo box on a form to be optional.
I have a form with two combo boxes which filter out the results on a query.
However I want the third combo box to be optional i.e. if it is blank then just the results of the first two combo boxes are shown. If the user selects all combo boxes then obviously the results are based on all combo box selections.

I have a subform and when you double click on any field it remembers 3 fields from the record you are in and stores them. I have 3 fields called [section], [losthrs], [stdhrs]. It works perfectly and stores the data from [losthrs] and [stdhrs] fields, but throws up "Argument not optional" for the [section] field.... Can not see a reason why, it is just a simple text field...
I have even tried 'pausing the code' and using the immediate window to show the field values, again losthrs and stdhrs are fine, section gives "Argument not optional".

I am amending some Code I found online for an audit table, I need to store additional information in the table that is associated with some forms but not others.
I have researched about putting optional variables in, but I read this only works with the type VARIANT.
Is there a way to make a string optional as my fields contain text?
here is my code so far:
Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String, Optional UserID As String, Optional DeviceID As String, Optional SimID As String)
On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim datTimeCheck As Date
[Code]...

hi. my name is tim. im having some problems with a query that I am writing. it should be rather simple and involves only one table.
the table is called tblCustomer. The query involves 2 fields: cResort and cWeek. Neither of these fields are unique. Together they make up the primary key.
cResort is populated with a textfield: PF, PV, and GS.
cWeek is populated with an integer: 1-52 (the number of weeks in a year)
This is what the query is supposed to do:
SELECT tblCustomer.*
FROM tblCustomer
WHERE cResort DOES NOT EQUAL "PF" AND WEEK is LESS THAN 10
here's where the problem lies, this filters out ALL "PF" and ALL cWeek < 10.
I want PF's with a corresponding cWeek from 1-10. I dont want to see PFs with corresponding cWeek 11-52.
Example:
Show me cResorts: PF with corresponding cWeek:1-10.
Do NOT show me cResorts: PF with corresponding cWeek:11-52.
Is this clear? Thank you for the help.

I am trying to construct a fairly complex query on the fly. I have it working except for the criteria side of the query which I am having trouble with. It doesn't really matter about the vb side of it because I can alter the construction easy enough. it is more a question of how I get the criteria right.
I'll show you the SQL below first:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblCandidate.CandidateID, tblCandidate.FirstName & ' ' & [Surname] AS Name, tblCandidate.Telephone, tblCandidate.Mobile, tblCandidateAvailability.Status, tblCandidate.CandidateID AS [Count]
FROM ((tblCandidate LEFT JOIN tblCandidateArea ON tblCandidate.CandidateID = tblCandidateArea.CandidateID) LEFT JOIN tblCandidateJobCode ON tblCandidate.CandidateID = tblCandidateJobCode.CandidateID) INNER JOIN ((tblBranchDetail RIGHT JOIN (tblCandidateAvailability INNER JOIN tblBooking ON tblCandidateAvailability.AvailableDate = tblBooking.ScheduleDate) ON tblBranchDetail.BranchID = tblBooking.BranchID) INNER JOIN tblBookingDetail ON tblBooking.ScheduleID = tblBookingDetail.ScheduleID) ON tblCandidate.CandidateID = tblCandidateAvailability.CandidateID
WHERE (((tblCandidateAvailability.Status)='Available') AND ((tblBookingDetail.ScheduleDetailsID)=103) AND ((tblCandidateJobCode.JobCode)='DO') AND ((tblCandidateArea.PostCodeID)='HP')) OR (((tblCandidateAvailability.Status)='Available') AND ((tblBookingDetail.ScheduleDetailsID)=105) AND ((tblCandidateJobCode.JobCode)='DO') AND ((tblCandidateArea.PostCodeID)='DO')) OR (((tblCandidateAvailability.Status)='Available') AND ((tblBookingDetail.ScheduleDetailsID)=106) AND ((tblCandidateJobCode.JobCode)='DO') AND ((tblCandidateArea.PostCodeID)='HP'));
The table structuring is fine it is the SQL after the WHERE statement that I am having trouble with.
This query works fine to give me all Candidates that comply with these criteria. The only trouble is I want to only results where the Candidate(s) ALL three set of criteria. I have tried replacing the OR with AND and using extra brackets to enclose the whole WHERE statement to imply I need all criteria met but this reports back no results despite me having test data where a candidate meets all criteria.
I am sure this is not as hard as I am making it but I can't figure it out at all.
I also ideally wanted to show only one record (ie one candidate that meets all instead of three records showing the candidates). This is not so important as I can work this out easily enough, by probably hiding fields I don't want to see and showing only unique values, etc...
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Daz
