Passing Parameters To A Query From A Form To Filter A Report
Aug 15, 2006
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?
Thanks.

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.

I have a query that sums up the number of parts used. This works fine.
I want to be able to limit this query to parts used after a specific date.
I have in my report
DoCmd.OpenReport "Part Totals Report", acViewPreview, , "[Part Date])>= " & SQLDate
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.

Hi all,
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
stDocName = "SecondForm"
stLinkCriteria = "[Field1]=" & "'" & Me![Field1] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
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?
Thanks in advance

Guys I need your help/Advice...
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

Good Afternoon,
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?????
Thanks,
Nervous Jervous

Hey folks,
Not sure if this is the best forum but decided to put it here anyway.
I have a Access query that reads:
SELECT bleh
FROM blah
WHERE something > 10
Then in Excel I pull the data across using:
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(qryName)
Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset
and paste the data using
ws1.Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 2).CopyFromRecordset rs
I now want to change the query so the where statement reads
WHERE something > [amt]
So the question is how do I pass the value for the parameter value for [amt] from excel to access?

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!

Hi,
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.
Cheers

Hi,
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 ?
Thanks.

OK, I am trying to build sql strings from a form buy the user selecting criteria from boxes on a form.
I was given some code which I have adapted very slighty
Dim strCrit As String
If IsNull(Me.server) Then
' proceed
Else
strCrit = strCrit & " And [Server type] = '" & Me.server & "'"
End If
If IsNull(Me.RAM) Then
' proceed
Else
strCrit = strCrit & " And [Ram] = " & Me.RAM
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport "Your Results", , acPreview, strCrit
End Sub
however when I run this I get the following error

I am using an on-click event on my form to call up a report for the current record. It has been a while since I've used the form to call the report, but I always remember it working correctly. Today when I try to call up the report, it opens but no record is being pulled up so the report pulls up blank.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptSupplierInformation", acViewPreview, , "[OperationID]=" & [cboMoveTo], acWindowNormal

In our Student Administration database, we have a Student Evaluation Report which prints a 1 page per student report in memo like format. The instructor had previously input rating numbers (4=Best, 1=Worst) for 9 categories for each student via a database form into the Evaluations Table.
Two other elements of the rating are an Attendance based on number of days absent and a Grade Point Average (GPA) calculated from the student's test scores. The instructor then prints and reviews the report with each student.
There is an Evaluations Parameter table which has the following fields:
Field
Description
ID
The autonum key field.
Class
eg., 2015-1
Evaluation Number
A single digit (eg., 1, 2). There may be more than 1 evaluation for each class.
EffectiveDate
The "as of" date of the evaluation.
There are then several other tables that are input to a query that will be the record source for the report:
Table
Purpose/Data
Students
Student Name, Class
Absence
Has a record for each student's absence with date and a 1 or .5 indicating a whole or half day absent.
Test Grades
Has a record with each student's test results with date and score.
Evaluations
Holds the rating score for each of the 9 rating categories.
The Student Evaluation report is launched from an unbound Reports menu form via a button. On the Reports menu form I wish to have controls for the user to select which evaluation to report on. The Absence and Test Grade information needs to include records that are <= the EffectiveDate in the Evaluation Parameter table. The Evaluations records need to match the Class and Evaluation Number in the Evaluations Parameter table.
I would like the user to be able to select the Evaluation Parameter via a combo box vs. specifying the Class, Evaluation Number and Effective Date separately and then have the query record source for the report use those two fields as criteria. But my limited understanding of the Combo box indicates that only 1 field from the lookup query of the Evaluations Parameter table can be stored in the control whereas I need 3 (Class Evaluation Number and EffectiveDate).
How the user can select the desired Evaluation Parameter record on the Reports menu form and use the 3 fields from the selected record as criteria in the report's record source query.

I have created a form with multi-select list boxes, behind which is the following code to transform the users' selections into query parameters.
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Test")
If Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then
For Each varItem In Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & "Centres.[Area Board] = " & Chr(34) _
& Me!lstAB.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & "OR "
Next varItem
strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 3)
Else
strCriteria = "Centres.[Area Board] Like '*'"
End If
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Centres " & _
"Where " & strCriteria & ";"
qdf.SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Test"
Set db = Nothing
Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub
I would like to allow the user to set, on the same form, which field they want the resultant data to be sorted by, preferably by having a tick box alongside each list box, which sets that field as the sort field. The form will obviously need to allow only one of these tick boxes to be selected.
Can anyone advise me on how to modify the above code to make this possible?
Thanks,
Gary

what i have is a form with a report inside of it (i just drug it in and dropped it). the report filters off of a field in the form. So upon opening the form, the report filters correctly. however as i browse through the form records, the report doesn't update. i can't figure out how to get it to update with the form its on. i've tried report.requery in the form_current area but it doesn't seem to re-apply the filter.

I know this is probably a basic question- but Im not finding a clear answer here.
Basically- I have a value that I want to select from a drop down box on a form (not created yet). That value will get inserted into my query for a calculation I am doing. The form will pop up the results of the query in a table/dataset.
How do I designate the variable in the query that is being inserted from the form? I am using Access 2002- is there a way to visually perform this task (ie- drag/drop type thing)?
Thanks guys!

Dear All, I have a problem which I need to solve and am in need of a clue!
I have a table which contains lots of line items relating to quotes. Each quote usually contains three line items and is prefixed in all cases with a number which relates to number of users. For example
5 5 User Software Details Price Cost Note
in the table there are up to 100 users and each has line 3 items. I automate quote generation by using a form. In the form a quote reference is generated and a text box for the number of users. I have a command button which then, based on the value of users text box, selects from the line items table and sends the records to my TblQuotes.
My Tbl quotes is exactly the same structure as my line items table except it also has a field for the quote reference which is in the form.
Where I am stuck is I cant seem to get Access to send the quote reference into the TblQuotes as part of the append query.
Please help! :confused:

I have a hidden field on my form called "key". I can reffer to it as [forms]![MyForm]!key Is that right?
I also have a subform on this form that uses an sql query. I want this query to match on the key from above.
Shouldn't this work? select field1, field2 from table1 where keyvalue = [forms]![MyForm]!key
It doesn't. It returns a blank record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
I am trying to get a query to pull dates from a form to use as limiting parameters for a report. One of my forms has the user enter a range of dates into two text boxes (a from-date in one box and a to-date in another) as the range of dates they want to pull information from a table via the query. These dates are also used in the Title header of the report that is generated from the query information.
How can I get the query to use these dates in the text boxes, rather than having to use the "between / and" command on the criteria line of the query design?
If I just have parameter windows pop up and have the user enter the dates there, I can't use those dates for the report, or can I? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I haven't explained this properly, if so, I'll try again if I've just confused you.

I have a report "Work Order Details" that that is based on a query and opens along with a form that is used to set filters. Based on samples I have looked at and reading, I cannot figure out what is missing. When I select my item form one of 5 unbound combo box 's and click the "Set filter" button, it brings up a paramter box?? If I cancel out the box, I still don't get a result. Just for the heck of it, I filled in a name in the paramter box, still no luck. The report property has "Filter On" as YES. The close button, clear button, and drops downs operate perfectly.
Here is the On Click Event info from my "set filter" button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer
'Build SQL String
For intCounter = 1 To 5
If Me("Filter" & intCounter) <> "" Then
strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter" & intCounter).Tag & "] " & " = " & Chr(34) & Me("Filter" & intCounter) & Chr(34) & " And "
End If
Next
If strSQL <> "" Then
'Strip Last " And "
strSQL = left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 5))
'Set the Filter property
Reports![Work Order Details].Filter = strSQL
Reports![Work Order Details].FilterOn = True
End If
End Sub
