Parameter Query - Using Choose Function
Aug 24, 2005
I need to allow a user to select criteria as part of a query.
Running the query manually I would type in either:
"Core Stock"
OR
<>"Core Stock"
in the criteria field of the column.
I tried using the following parameter in the design grid:
Choose([Select 1: Core Stock 2: Not Core Stock : ],"Core Stock",<>"Core Stock")
The "Core Stock" option works but the <>"Core Stock" returns no records.
I would prefer not to use a form if possible . Any ideas ?
Regards
David

Hi
I would like to set up a query that uses two tables. One of the tables, the 'main table', wil be used every time the query is run. Each time a new record is created in the main table a 'new table' is created containing a subset of data - the name of this table uses a ref ID from the main table. I would like to be able to select which 'new table' to use in the query as part of a parameter query.
eg. Main table record 1 has a field JID of J0001 and a corresponding 'new table' titled J0001. record 2 in main table has JID J0002 and creates a 'new table' J0002 etc
so I would like to set the query up such that when a record is chosen in 'main table' the query knows the name of the 'new table' corresponds to the JID of the record in 'main table' ....
Have seen the same question asked but no answer - is this possible ?
any pointers appreciated..

I have an option group that lists a variety of categories which I want to query on.
I know that the option group only returns values.
In the Option Group, On Time = 1, Over Due =2 ,,,,
I am using a Choose function in my query. That is working fine. But ... I would like to have a last choice called "All" such that when selected all data is shown (i.e., On Time, Over Due, ....).
I am using the following:
Choose ([optiongrpStatus],"On Time", "Over Due", .... ,???) as my query criteria.
Have not figured what I can put in the last choice to get all data.
Tried "Is Not Null", tried "On Time or Over Due" - know these don't make sense -just wanted to try.

I have a parameter query in which consists of a search statement as below:-
Search: [Model] & " " & [FiscalYear]
It works very well. I am wonder if there is any options available to affect the search results. As far as I understand, when I enter the key word into the pop up box, it will search the fields sequentially and populate the result. Can I enter different key word for each field? If so, what is the syntax for entering the key words.

SELECT tblClient.FullName, tblService.Funding_Source, tblService.Service_Name, tblService.Auth_Date, tblService.Auth_Units, Sum(tblServiceLog.Service_Units) AS SumOfService_Units, [Auth_Units]-[SumOfService_Units] AS [Remaining Units]
FROM (tblClient INNER JOIN tblService ON tblClient.SSN = tblService.Client_ID) INNER JOIN tblServiceLog ON tblService.Service_ID = tblServiceLog.Service_ID
GROUP BY tblClient.FullName, tblService.Funding_Source, tblService.Service_Name, tblService.Auth_Date, tblService.Auth_Units, [Auth_Units]-[SumOfService_Units];
Ok, this query works fine when it comes to the data it outputs, but everytime I run it it wants to know a "Paramemter Value for SumofService_Units". No matter what number I put in there it still gives me correct data. Why is this box appearing and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

I've been searching for several hours now and can't find the answer to this problem...
I'm using a form to capture criteria for a query. One of the fields is a text field and here is the parameter I'm using:
Nz([forms]![frmMain]![Company],[CNm])
I want to return all records if the text box named Company is null. I'm getting only the non-null records. How can I get it to display all the records in the field, CNm?
Thanks!

I have a query that I'm working on through Access 2010's design view. I'd like to add a criteria to the query where it only shows results with the employee name column matching a global variable I created that stores the name of the currently logged in employee.
Here's my vba code that declares the global variable and the public function i'm trying to pass as criteria in the query:
Global gbl_loginName As String
Public Function returnName() As String
If IsNull(gbl_loginName) Then
returnName = "test" ' dummy account created for development only
Else
returnName = gbl_loginName
End If
End Function
and here's the SQL code from Access's design view:
SELECT [Entry of Hours].WC, [Entry of Hours].[Employee Name],
[Entry of Hours].[Set Up Time], [Entry of Hours].[Run time],
[Entry of Hours].[Traveler Number], [Entry of Hours].[Entry Date],
[Entry of Hours].[Quantity Finished], [Entry of Hours].Notes, [Entry of Hours].WPS,
[Code] ....
when I try running the query, however, I get this error:
'returnName' is not a recognized built-in function name
Is there a problem with using public functions in Access' design view?

I have a report based on a crosstab query with a subreport based on a second crosstab query both the crosstab queries have the same 3 parameters (2 as string, 1 as boolean) which I pass through a dialog form that closes after the report is opened (in preview).looks like everything works fine at least for the first page of the report but when I try change page, it prompts me to re-enter the parameters. Of course, if a do not close the parameters form I will not have this problem but that is a popup dialog which I do not want to close manually after the operation is done
So I tried to pass the form input first to a Public variable then to a Public Function but I was not able to reference neither of them in the PARAMETER statement of the 2 Xtab queries..As a function, each of the following declarations prompts for input at runtime::
MyFunction, [MyFunction], [MyFunction()], [=MyFunction()]
while the following are not accepted (syntax error)
MyFunction(), =MyFunction()

Hi,
I have a requirement to filter some queries periodically on the date field.
What I want to do is create a form that lets you choose which query to use and filter and not create alot of single forms.
The filter will be only be applied whilst the form is open.
Cheers

I've a method **querylistboxitems** and i want to call this method in several click events, only difference is listbox,dropdown values change based on the event i call.
Code:
Public Sub querylistboxitems(lstbox As listbox, dropdown As ComboBox)
Dim drpdwnvalue As String
drpdwnvalue = dropdown.Value
With lstbox
//do something
End with
End Sub
And I'm calling this in the buttion click event by passing the listbox names as **List_Compare** and **Select_CM_Compare**
Code:
Private Sub Command_compare_Click()
Call querylistboxitems_1(List_Compare, Select_CM_Compare)
End Sub
But the values passing to the function are not control names, control values i.e corresponding control selected values.
I want to use listbox name in **lstbox**, not the value.

I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

Hi,
Is there a way to automatically choose a value such as 0 if the expression goes to a negative number?
E.g. I have a query that will subtract a numeric field from 10. If 10 - [numericfield] is less than 0, then I only want it to display 0. Otherwise, it can display the value if it is positive.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I am looking for some help with a particular problem. I have a report based on a query and at the moment it is ordered by a particular column.
What I want to be able to happen is that the user chooses what they want the query (and subsequently) the report to be ordered by before they run the report by means of a combo box or something like that.
Is this possible in anyway?
Thanks.
Gareth.

I am setting up an Access database for a small school. The database contains a record per person. When we get a duplicate lastname field we set a family_id field to lastname followed by a number.
So for example the first Smith family needs to family_id. But the second Smith family gets a family_id of smith1. To select an ordered list of Families I need a query that will use the family_id if it is set and if not use the the lastname to collect family members.
My query uses a presorted table, CurStuByGrdTbl , of current students to produce the families directory by grade and alphabetized.
The WellSchoolCommunityAll table is the entire database. So if the student entry has a valid family_id, matching pattern "*#" then
I perform a Like with family.id otherwise I perform a Like with lastname.
This query gets me nothing, no records.
IIf(([CurStuByGrdTbl].[family_id]="*#"),[CurStuByGrdTbl].[family_id] Like [WellSchoolCommunityAll].[family_id],[CurStuByGrdTbl].[lastname] Like [WellSchoolCommunityAll].[lastname])

Hi,
I am building a database that calculates freight costs for shipments.
I have one table that has order data with fields such as [Order Number], [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [Weight].
The service level is one of 4 values: PRE 9, PRE 12, NEXT DAY, NEXT DAY +1.
The origin and destination use country codes such as BE, AT, CZ, PL for Belgium, Austria, Czech, and Poland respectively.
I also have rate sheets from carriers such as DHL and UPS and they provide their rates in the following format (numbers are made-up as real rates are confidential): [Origin], [Destination], [Service Level], [0 to 0.5 kg], [0.5 to 1.0kg], [1.0 to 1.5kg], [1.5 to 2.0kg], etc all the way up to 30kg. The rate is then in the appropriate column and the row gives the origin-destination-service level combination.
(sample freight rate table uploaded as zipped excel sheet in attachment)
I need to return the rate from the appropriate row based on the [Origin], [Destination] and [Service Level] fields (easy enough), which is easy enough.
The hard part is selecting the correct field to return. I tried usign a Choose expression but Access rejected it saying it was too complex (maybe because too many choices?).
So I'm stuck. And working towards a deadline... :-)
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks,
Martin.

Can't seem to figure this out.
I built a db for tracking and entering sales info but I'm having a problem with one of my combo boxes. To make entering data easier, I created a combo box that you can select a sales persons name from, then based on who is selected, their Title and Office location also populated.
The problem I have is when I want to manually type in the Name and other info for a temporary sales person. How can I allow users to choose from the drop down or just type it in if that person is not in the list?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi
Can anyone create a form with a combobox where you can select a form and this form will display in an static area.
Then you can choose another form in the combobox and it will display in the same spot.
the forms that will be displayed are exactly the same size.
This would help me very much
Thanks
