I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e.
User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button.
Afterwards, a query will run like
select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
I have a continuous form that is bound to a SQL Server view.
For each record in my form I have a button, which when pressed opens up a second form. The second form is bound to a stored procedure that takes a parameter. The parameter value that I want to pass to this second form is the value of one of the fields in the first form.
I did the following in the click event of the button on my first form:
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
However, when I run this it keeps prompting me to specify the value of Field1 so this value is obviously not getting through. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I have a navigation form that will have 6-8 tabs. We were using about that many databases, but we are finally consolidating them into one. The result of us using so many databases has been the multitude of forms and reports that were necessary for each database prior to merging them together.
The problem: There will be anywhere from 12-20 (text boxes) that the user can use to search anything in our database. What we need to have happen, if possible, is for those search parameters to show up in the header of our report if they have text in them. If the text box is blank, it should not show up in the header of the report.
I have read how to to do the start/end date technique, but I do not know if that would work for what we are doing since the boxes would only show up if they are populated by the user.
After years and years of working with Jet, I am now trying to use SQL Server backands and am having problems passing parameters to a stored procedure.
How can I build a query which where I can say "WHERE ([AField]=""" & Forms!BlarBlaretc.value & """)" as I can in access because as I understand it you can not look at front end information from the SQL backend.
Any help (and start at the beginning) would be much appreciated.
In my Access Database I have a query (lets say qry1) and in this query i have 2 fields for start and end date, which is provided by 2 Get functions.
also i have qry2 based on qry1 then qry3 based on qry2 and finally qry4(using sql in code) based on qry3, and non of these 3 queries have the start and end date fields.
now here is the problem: I am trying to set the criteria in qry4 and then open a record set on this query(qry4) to use the data that it pulls out...
strsql = "" strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _ & "FROM qry3 " _ & "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset(strsql)
but when the last line is executed I get this error message:
Runtime Error '3061': Too few parameters, expected 2.
i also tried doing this:
strsql = "" strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _ & "FROM qry3 " _ & "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
MyDB.QueryDefs("qry4").sql = strsql
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("qry4")
but when the last line is executed it gives me an error message saying that the query does not exist or the name is not spelled correctly. (Ps. I have created the query and the criteria does update once the Select statement is run in the code!)
again the reason for this is that the query has not been populated as the main query (qry1) needs 'strat date' and 'end date'!
Is there anyway I can pass these 2 parameters to qry4 directly using code? If there is a way then this will definitly work as i tried opening the query manually in the Query window and after I input the 2 dates in the input box the query ran successfully!
I would appreciate any help/suggestion guys, I need to sort this out quickly as i have a deadline... Cheers
I would like to transmit several parameters from my main form to the subform when I open it.
Parameters could be used in the subform by onload event, for eample, to define form caption, hide or show buttons, enable or disable edit boxes, give them a color, ... It could also allow to use the same form in different application contexts, which would reduce so the development time.
More than one technique might be possible. I used the following one : - I put the parameter value I want to pass into myParameter - when click on the button to open the subform : DoCmd.OpenForm myDocument, acNormal, , , , , myParameter - when loading the subform, retreive the parameter value in Me.OpenArgs and using it (eg disable a button)
It works fine. But I can pass only a single value with this technique and it's not enough. I tried to give an array as myParameter and fill it with my parameters values, but Access refuses an array to be in the DoCmd statement for OpenArgs option.
Any idea about passing several parameters to the subform ? Or may be an alternative to the DoCmd technique ?
The report is bound to a query that has 2 group by fields, 1 count field a a further field, a date field ([Part Date], that I put a default criteria on. This field is not displayed. If I don't put a criteria on this field disappears when I close and open again.
I pass a date to the program via a form and this ultimately ends up in SQLDate. When I run this I get promted to enter [Part Date] even though I'm setting it equal to SQLDate above. I can out garbage to a proper date in here either way the report picks up the default date entered in by the query.
1. Get rid of all of the parameters off the query.
2. Then you can use the Where Clause of the DoCmd.OpenReport code to specify the parameters based on your variables.
1.Not sure what this means but when I get rid of the criteria for the parameter the field disappears (I'm setting the show field to no as I don't want totals group by date). Getting rid of the field gives me all parts used.
2.I think I'm doing this in the above but will bow to superior knowledge!!
or is it I can't pass a parameter to a report run by a query that is grouping fields together to produce a count.
Incidentally once the report has been run (albeit with the wrong parameters) and I go into design mode and look at the property sheet for the report the correct filter is there (i.e., the date that has been input) but it quite clearly ignores this.
I have a query that searches for records that are between two dates using the WHERE clause. The two dates are referenced to two respective text boxes on a form. On the same form I have a button that will launch the query in VBA using querydefs. I get the error 3061 saying I need to input the parameters. Therefore I am a bit unsure how to set the parameters in VBA. So far I have done this:
Code:
Dim Db As DAO.Database Set Db = CurrentDb Dim QDef As DAO.QueryDef Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set QDef = Db.QueryDefs("Rqt_F_BrokerageMandate_MF3_TEST")
[Code] ....
Where Date_VL is the field to be filtered. I know this is wrong but all examples I have seen have equated the parameter to a fixed value i.e 30/12/2012 for example, but I want this to be at the users discression. The only way I know of to get around this at the moment would be to write a temp query in VBA with PARAMETERS in the SQL code instead using the method above/
After this I'm going to assign the recordset to a matrix but that's a different story!
I am trying to pass parameters to my qury thru my combo selection. I keep getting this error "Data type mismatch criteria expression", does anyone have an idea why? WHERE (((fShiftWorked([tblTimeLog].[timeStart])=[Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift] Or IsNull([Forms]![frmOperatorWorkDone]![cboShift]))=True));
I have spent so much time onthis already and i am sick of it :mad:
IIf([Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType]=3,1 Or 2,[Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType])
My field is Pricing Type and holds records 1 or 2..I would like to pass value from my group option from a form.It works fine if group option has a value 1 or 2 but it displays no records if option value is 3 What is wrong with my code.
I am working on a database that contains patient demographic information. I have a form that prompts the user to enter either the medical record number or part of the patient name. Once you click search it'll then display a 2nd form with a list box outputting the results. Then from there the user can click on one of the entries in the listbox and it'll display the full demographic information on a 3rd form.
Now my problem is on the search part, it completely ignores if I have a medical record number entered. It continues to search by name only.
In my query for med rec # I have
[Forms]![frmSearch]![txtHistn]
where txtHistn is the text box field passing into the query. And for patient name column in the query under OR I have the following:
Like "*" & [forms]![frmSearch]![txtPname] & "*"
So I am confused why it ignores the medical record number entirely.
I have a test database attached. This is just a sample with dummy data entered and not designed pretty. Through this up for another issue I had yesterday that has been resolved but now discovered this query one. The frmSearch is how it begins. If you search by Smith it'll bring up the two Smiths I have entered. If I leave the field blank and enter 1 for the medical record number it treats it as null and displays everything. How can I fix this?
And while on the topic of query, the true database I am working with resides on an Power I series (formerly AS400s) and only linking to their tables. The data is entered in all Caps in the tables. How can I force whatever the user enters into the search screen that it will automatically uppercase the letters before performing the search? Without having the user to remember to enter with their cap locks on.
I have a query and a form, and what I want to be able to do is have the user type in within the form the parameters for the query.
The part of the query that will hold the parameters is based on an amount (formatted as Currency), but I want the user to be able to enter >10 , =<100 or >100000 and get the correct results.
I have already set up the query and the form with unbound cells which are then referenced in the query I've tried just one cell where the user would enter >100000 or tried two cells where one cell would be for >,< etc and one cell for the value (which is formatted as currency), but that didn't work either.
The idea is that you enter the parameter and value then click on a button that runs a macro to export the query based or the user parameters, but everytime I try it I get a box appearing saying Property not Found.
I'm wondering is it possible to create a multiple parameter query which will return results even if you leave some of the parameters blank ?. I'm trying to set up a Form which will allow users to select parameters using combo boxes but at the moment you need to fill them all in or you'll get no results...
So I run cash flow for a business, and we export data from Oracle and insert it into an access database. I have to run about 25 queries, entering in the same parameters for each. We number each week of the year. So for say the first week in January, I would run the first query and it asks: Beginning Week, I enter in 1, then another paramter value asks me the ending week. I have to enter in these parameters for each of the 25 or so queries, and it becomes quite irritating. Each query has a number of columns, but I am only interested in obtaining the sum of one of the columns, titled Distribution amount. So I am looking for something that will run each of my specified queries, then spit out the total of the distribution column for each in a table like.
Query 1: Total Distribution Query 2: Total Distribution etc....
Is there anything that would allow me to do this, with entering in the week parameter once, say week 1 start, week 1 end. and it use those same parameters for each query?
I have a report that has two sub reports. The sub reports are based on two different queries that have a parameter in each. When I run the report it prompts me to enter the two parameters for each record (there could be 30 or more records), how do I get the parameters to only ask me once and pull all records? My parameter is >[Continued ED Starting After XX/XX/XXXX] and the other parameter is >[Credits Starting After Date: XX/XX/XXXX], so I would like to just enter this information once and return all records with that criteria and not have to enter the information 30 or more times to get all records.
Hi, I am writing a script which will retrieve all of the tracks relating to whichever cd the user has chosen. The script is being written in asp and the line which sends the variable to access looks a bit like this:
sqlQuery3 = "up_getAlbumTrackInfo " & productID Set rs3 = dbConn.Execute(sqlQuery3)
If possible could you tell me how to retrieve this value from access as I have become lost.
At present the SQL code in the query looks like this
SELECT tblTracks.trackName, tblTracks.TrackNumber FROM tblTracks WHERE tblTracks.productID = (** variable would go here **)
What I am trying to do is create 3 (or more) parameters for a query from a single table. Lets use this for example:
Table Name= "tblExample" Field Name "A" with Perameter "1" Field Name "B" with Perameter "2" Field Name "C" with Perameter "3" (All from Table= "tblExample")
My intentions are that when the query is run, the user is asked to include 3 subjects (1 subject per perameter; 3 perameters total that pop up). But I am having trouble making it so that if a random person using this query doesn't know or can't remember 1 or 2 of the subjects they are looking for, the query will just (in a sense) ignore the two blank parameters the user has left alone, and just clicked the "ok" button without entering anything, and use the 1 parameter that it was given a subject for, to filter/query out a result.
If you beleive you will have trouble explaining this to me, I'll use this as an example:
Table Name: "tblExample" Field Name: "A" with Parameter "1" Field Name: "B" with Parameter "2" Field Name: "C" with Parameter "3" (All from Table: "tblExample")
The user uses the query and is asked by the first parameter for input. The user isn't sure, and clicks ok without entering anything, and parameter 2 pops up. The user then enters a subject of which he/she knows to look for and clicks "ok". Then the final parameter asks the user for input, and the user again doesn't know, or can't remember so he/she just presses the "ok" button. What would be the coding for this kind of parameter that if nothing is entered, the parameter is ignored?
In desperate need of assistance. Thanks in advnace
I have a query which has a parameter called [Enter Date as DD/MM/YYYY]. This filters out records from my table which match those entered by the user. However, when the query is run, Access is asking the user to enter the criteria twice. The first time it is labelled Expr1, the second time it is Enter Date as DD/MM/YYYY. There is obviously something wrong in my query, can anybody point me in the right direction here?
I have a query that pulls information from two tables. Some of the fields that are being queried share the same name in the tables, [Reimbursed_Amount] and [Cancel_Fee] specifically. In Design View I have specified that I only want the query to pull these fields from the Event Information table. An error occurs when I try to run it, saying that I need to define which table the field is from in the SQL code.
But then after I added clarification in the SQL, when I run the query it now prompts for a parameter for each of these fields. Why is this happening? I leave it blank, so a parameter has no impact on the query. How can I stop this?
Here's the SQL, after I added the table clarification:
Code: SELECT (Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost])+nz([Cancel_Fee].[Event Information])-nz([Reimbursed_Amount].[Event Information]))) AS Total_Cost, [Shared Billing Information].Paid, [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID, [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID FROM [Shared Billing Information] RIGHT JOIN [Event Information] ON [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID = [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
I am running Access 2003 I am get the following Error "Run Time Error 3001 Invalid Argument"
What I am trying to do is append data to a table based off a crosstab query and then open a form which its record source is the table I just append. The code as follows.
Dim qr As QueryDef Dim dtDate As Date Dim intPayment As Integer
'Delete old data from temp table DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryDeleteTempDrillDown1-Detail")
'append data Set qr = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryDrillDown1-Detail") qr.Parameters("PaymentCycle") = intPayment qr.Parameters("DateBalancing") = dtDate qr.Execute ' THIS IS WHERE I AM GETTING MY ERROR:mad:
DoCmd.OpenForm ("frmDrillDown1-Detail")
The append query is made up of a crosstab query which is made up of a union query, which is made up of 14 separate select queries. 7 of the select queries have the same parameter and the parameter is defined in each of the query. 2 of the seven queries have a second parameter that is the same, which is also defined in their query. I also have the parameters defined in the crosstab query. And I have the parameters defined in my append query.
I don't know why I am getting the error other then my parameters are not being feed through. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
have a query that works fine when I have to select one parameter, however I don't know how to select multi parameters...In this query I would like to able to select as well as the specific 'POSTITION' value Also 'BASE' and all those parameters that have a check box empty or full.
