Is there a way to filter based on a partial field match. I couldn't find anything posted before, but it doesn't seem like an unusual problem. I have an inventory database and have a field for part number. I would like to create a filter that would display only part numbers that begin with "FNQ" for example. The entire part number would include other numbers and letters, of course. How can I do this?:confused:
View RepliesI'm trying to build a query that groups data by a code that is six digits. however, I only want to consider the first 4 digits when grouping by. (ex. table has code 100023 and I only want to group by 1000). Is there a way to do this within a query instead of modifying the table itself?

I never ran into this problem before.
I have a qry, with showing totals (group by). One of the fields is called comments, which is a memo field. I am only seeing partial comments.
When I redesign the query and take out the "totals", I see the entire comments.
Is there a fix to this?
Hi,
Apologies, I have no idea if this should go in reports, queries, macros or modules and VBA as I'm a bit stuck but hopefully it's fairly simple.
I've been teaching myself access and it's been going well. What I have now been asked to do is produce a report that generates the shift patterns for everyone in the office as an HTML document. Now, the data is all exported from another program and I've had no problem getting the data into access easily. The problem I have is the format some of the data is in.
The major one that I need to solve is showing what time people are meant to take their lunch break each day. The field for break is filled in in the following format.
07/04/2008 12:45:00
Now, I have the date from elsewhere so I really don't want the date to show up so I need something that removes the date from this field. Is this going to be easy to do? (Ideally I'd like it so that the above example actually just returned 12:45 but if it has the 00 on the end that would not be the end of the world)
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of your forum.
Hi
I've had a search through the forum but can't find anything to solve my issue. Hope someone can help with this one.
I want to filter a query (ultimately a report) based on date parameters entered by the user (start date & end date) on a form. I've done this plenty of times before with no problems. However, this time it's returning incorrect information - stuff that doesn't fall witin the date parameters of the filter.
I've checked other databases I've built and everything looks the same. The only thing I can think of is that I'm asking the query to filter a calculated field rather than a field with information entered by the user. Is this what might be causing the problem?
The field that the filter looks at is a calculated field that calculates a date 6 weeks before another date entered by the user.
Hope I've provided enough info for someone to think they know what's wrong!
Cheers, as always.
I'm trying to filter my table so that i can make it a query. The data in the Facility is linked to another table with FacName and FacID. When i try to filter the data to create the query from the table, it says type mismatch. It's really bothersome....btw is there another way to create a filtered query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I want to filter out certain records based on if a field has data in it or not. I tried using a macro and putting the field equals "IsNotNull", but that didn't work. I just asked me what "IsNotNull" is suppose to be. correct way to do this via macro?
I tried searching but was finding VBA with other filters being applied (which is not the case).
I have a database with a table of employees, and that has a column named "DaysOff", into which I type a couple of days like this: "SUNDAY AND MONDAY"
Next, I have a form onto which I will display a query of those employees. The form contains a field called DATE in which I display the mm/dd/yyyy date. What I want to do is this:
I only want those employees that have a DaysOff field that DOES NOT CONTAIN the WEEKDAY NAME of the date in the DATE field. So, for instance, if the DATE field read 2/22/2014, and I have three employees as such:
Employee 1 DaysOff "Monday and Tuesday"
Employee 2 DaysOff "Friday and Saturday"
Employee 3 DaysOff "Sunday and Monday"
In that case, ONLY EMPLOYEES 1 and 3 should show up. Employee 2 will NOT show up, because his DaysOff field contains the word "Saturday", and the WEEKDAY FORMATTED value of the DATE field is "Saturday"
I hope that's not too confusing. Again, this needs to be the filter criteria for the query. That query will only return a list of employees that are NOT off on the day in question. If one of their off days is the day in question, the query won't return that record.
I've tried a few things, but I can't get it to work. If you want, I can list the various things I've tried, but I imagine one of you knows exactly how to do what I need to do, and you won't need my feeble attempts as a springboard.
I have a sub form that I enter date range in 2 text box's txtstartdate and txtenddate this is filtering field "date raised" and I have combo box call cboclient this is filtering field "client name" this code is behind a command button after hitting the command button it open's the report and it show's all records with in the date range and with client name enter in cboclient works great. problem is I have now added another cboclient2 to filter client name twice so now I enter a date range in txtstartdate and txtenddate put a client name in cboclient and a client name in cbocleint2 hit command button it open's the report but doesn't apply the date range to cboclient2 it just show's all records with that client name
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
'On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Remove the single quote from start of this line once you have it
Dim strReport As String
Dim strDateField As String
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngView As Long
[code]...
Is it possible to use Filter option in my form without using Query Wizard? - So that the user would be able to edit and change the other field on the same form
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wan't access to calculate partial sums based on dates(formatted american style here), in particular, the amount ordered of a certain product until a certain date instead of the amount ordered at a certain date. So:

it works, but only on a restricted version of the table. I want to do it faster to be able to do it for the entire table(70000 products, 1000.000 lines).

Hi,
I've been reading about this alot today but can't decide for sure if I should replicate my database or not. The users will have a front end installed on their local drive and the back end is on a shared server.
Basically the users will not be able to add or delete records. However, they can update one column- its a checkbox that allows them to select a record or records in a continuous form. I imagine that if 2 users were using it simultanuously and one de-selected all the records, they would be deselected on the other persons form? This is why I think I need a partial replica. That way when the user opens the database they get a fresh copy of the new data and can select and deselect drawings without interfering with others.
All records are automatically selected when the form is opened so updating changes in the master is not an issue.
Please let me know if I'm on the right track here..
I have a database with fields for dates but formatted in "text" so as to allow for partial input of a date. (ie. 12/00/1990 or 00/00/2001) I now need to extract data prior to an exact date and after an exact date. Due to the text format, I am assuming, I cannot create a query to do this.
I have tried the expression below but of course it does not give me what I need.
< 5/1/1995
I have also tried to create a new field formatted for date/time but I cannot get the date to copy into it since some of my dates are partial.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do so that I can extract the data I need? Any help is appreciated as I have a deadline for this report.
Hello everyone.
Your help is very much appreciated.
I am trying to create partial replica from the design master.
it all goes well until I try to set the filter using:
repPartial.Filters.Append "Customers",jrFilterTypeTable,"Customers.Region = 'CA' "
It throws an error:
"Invalid expression in the ReplicaFilter property".
The replica db, does contain "Customers" table, which has "Region" field.
Thank you for you help.
The code, looks like:
dim repFull as new JRO.Replica
repFull.ActiveConnection = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11SAMPLESorthwind.mdb"
Call repFull.CreateReplica("C:MY_REPLICA.mdb", "description", jrRepTypePartial)
Set repFull = Nothing
' open the partial replica in exclusive mode and apply filters
repPartial.ActiveConnection = "Data Source=C:MY_REPLICA.mdb; Mode=Share Exclusive"
repPartial.Filters.Append "Customers", jrFilterTypeTable, "Customers.Region like 'CA' "
Cheers

When i go to input my query, firstly it doesnt display results half the time, secondly it is normally very problematic in terms of being case-sensitive, exact word matching etc.
What do i use (criteria) to program the query to let me use partial and non case-sensitive search methods?
PLEASE HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!!
I have a column in my databse that has random numbers. There are some numbers in the database that have .0 at the end of them. For example: 44551 .0. I want to create an update query that will delete the .0 from the values.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi im stuck on filtering a combo box (i am using an sql query to populate a combo box with a filtered selection, this is in Access but im after some design sanity checking). I have users who can be assigned a category. Jobs can be assigned a category and also have a list of people working on that job (in the JobDetails table). I have the following tables:
Categories Table:
CategoryID (PK)
Description
Users Table:
UserID (PK)
Username
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
Jobs Table:
JobID (PK)
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
JobDetails Table:
JobID (FK on Jobs.JobID)
UserID (FK on Users.UserID)
Then in the job details when listing users for a job (many users can be for one job) i would like to only show the users which have the same category as the jobs category. Is this possible? i tried the SQL below for the lookup column field JobDetails.UserID but it doesnt work:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.CategoryID
FROM Users, Jobs
WHERE (((Users.CategoryID)=[Jobs].[CategoryID]));
All the tables are linked with relationships but my SQL isnt so hot!
Any ideas as to how i would do this and get it working?
Even if it can be done, is this even recommended? I can see funny conditions happening if the job details category changes or the users category changes then even if they are existing in the job details list they will not be shown? Even so, i would be interested in the above to know how it is done (if possible).
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I have a table with a field QuotationRef containing a series of values which include a year indicator (eg Q11101/06, Q11102/06, Q11103/06, Q11105/07, Q11106/07, Q11108/07) - where the characters after the / denote the year a Quotation was started. I need to be able to setup a criteria filter expression in my query design view that will allow me to select just the values in the QuotationRef field that relate to the current year.
I can set up a query that picks up this year's Quotations by using "Like "*/07"" but that will only solve the problem for this year and I need to setup a query that will change when the year changes. How could I do this, I have tried incorporating "Year(Now())" in the expression but this would filter on /2007 rather than /07.
Any advice please?
Hi,
I'm trying to compare partial text records across two tables.
The first table simply has a description, such as:
DescriptionHammer
Bone Saw
Power Saw
The second table is a list of terms and a category, such as:
Term, Category
Hammer, 1
Saw, 2
I'm looking to build a query will compare the two and assign each description a category based on the partial match. It seems like this should be fairly easy to do, but I'm struggling to find anything to point down that path.
Any ideas?
I’m trying to provide the users of my database with a text search facility.
The database deals with documents, and I’d like the user to be able to search by title of document, with partial text matches. E.g. a title might be ‘Health and safety at work act’ - so searching by Health and/or safety gives this document as a result.
The table is called ‘tblDocTitle’ with the field ‘Title’ containing just that.
Ideally the search facility would be some sort of text box in which the text, and then a button to initiate that search.
Hope you can help
Hi,
How can I hide all the command bars except my customize tool bar ? I have hide all my command bars by the following code :
' Hide all window bar
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
I can change “CommandBars(i).Enabled = False” to “CommandBars(i).Enabled = True” but I want only my customized tool to be appear. What is the solution?
Thanks,

I am trying to search for a partial number in the primary key field. I have based my search off Allen Browne's search form [URL]
I have posted my full code below. I am having trouble with the portion searching the Member_ID field.
My first version:
I would get a Run-time error '3464':
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMember_ID) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Member_ID] = """ & Me.txtMember_ID & """) AND "
End If
My second Version: (I was searching for 54)
I would get a Run-time error '3075'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '([Member_ID] = Like "*54*")'
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMember_ID) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Member_ID] = Like ""*" & Me.txtMember_ID & "*"") AND "
End If
Version 3:
If I use this the search works when the Member_ID matches exactly
Code:
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMember_ID) Then
strWhere = strWhere & "([Member_ID] = " & Me.txtMember_ID & ") AND "
End If
Code:
Private Sub Member_Search_Click()
'Purpose: Build up the criteria string form the non-blank search boxes, and apply to the form's Filter.
'Notes: 1. We tack " AND " on the end of each condition so you can easily add more search boxes; _
we remove the trailing " AND " at the end.
' 2. The date range works like this: _
Both dates = only dates between (both inclusive. _
Start date only = all dates from this one onwards; _
End date only = all dates up to (and including this one).

Hi there,
I've successfully created, for the first time, a database with many attributes that is searchable by most of those attributes as well. I've finally gotten the swing of how tables, forms, queries, and macros link up and am understanding how MSA works.
I can't seem to find any information on here that tells me how to do wildcard searches. For my particular application, people enter items into the database in a nonstandard fashion, i.e. "oring," "o-ring," and "o ring." I need to enable the capability to search "ring" so my search functions are fully maximized.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
