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
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.
I have made one form for report purpose. When I enter Start date and End date, I get report of the date range. What I am looking that I want to print the start date and end date in my report. How can I reference date text box in my report?
I have a switchboard to print some labels based on info pulled from a database server. What I want to do is vary the color of a particular box on the labels (a Report) that varies depending on the string value from one of the fields of the pulled data.
I have everything up to the docmd.openreport and a sketchy code outline for the "on format" event in the report detail that includes a select case statement and backcolor assignment. All I need is to figure out a way to pass the string value (or alternatley define a global variable).
I have a matrix variable (ex: test(7,3)) define as private in a form's code vba. In this form, I open a report in which I would like to show the values of my matrix variable. How can I do this efficienly ... what i use now is a public buffer variable in a module(it eats memory for nothing)
How can I pass data (an employee's first and last name) to a report ? I captured the employee's name from the listbox, but can't seem to pass it to the report. The desired report will only have the employee's name and records for related fields on the report. The table (contains emloyees' history data), form name, listBox (contains employees' names), and variable (contains the employee's name) are listed below.
I have a form with 5 buttons on it. Each button is meant to select a warehouse location, so a query can be run to give an inventory report for that location. There is a separate query for each button and the OnClick event does properly modify the recordsource to give the appropriate data to the report for the location selected.
To this functionality I want the OnClick event VBA to pass the warehouse location to a textbox on the report, so the title of the report reflects that inventory location.
My code thus far is:
Private Sub Command5_Click() Dim mySQL As String Dim WHSE As String mySQL = "SELECT [Master Part List].[Part Number], [Master Part List].Category, [Master Part List].Description, [Master Part List].MaterialCost, [Master Part List].Inventory, [Master Part List].Update, [MaterialCost]*[Inventory] AS [Total Cost], [Master Part List].Warehouse"
[Code] ....
When I get the report, the textbox is empty, instead of containing the text value for the warehouse location.
I have a subroutine that successfully builds a SQL statement "strSQL", which is a public variable.
Using msgbox, I can read that the value is correct - SELECT * from tblIncidents WHERE [Nature] = 'Hover';
(The select statement may be complex, e.g. [Nature] = 'hover' AND [COLOUR]= 'Blue' AND [GRADE] = 'High')
I want to pass the variable strSql to my report rptIncident in the following command:
Private Sub CmdPrintReport_Click() If Right(strsql, 1) <> "'" Then 'check if statement was built Else strsql = strsql & ";" 'add trailing ; to statement MsgBox strsql DoCmd.OpenReport "tblincidents", acViewNormal, , strsql End If End Sub
I get a flashing error, then runtime error 3075 - |1 in query expression '|2'.
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 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.
I've done it before, but I'll ba damned if I can find which DB and where, but here's what I'm shooting for:
I have a DB program with 3 existing reports that show all employees and the corresponding records (all) in three different catagories, one per report.
The boss has asked for a report where it shows a specific employee and only records for said catagory for a given year. What i'm thinking about doing, is a form with a cbo supplied with the employee names (EmpID) as the underliying PK and a text box where the user types in the desired year. I would then put 3 cmd buttons, each to open the corresponding existing report, but they would pass the criteria of the EmpID and the year so the report only shows those records. As a bonus, it'd be nice if the year txt box was empty, it'd show all the records for the employee, but that's extra bonus.
Anyway, I can't find the format as I'm pretty sure I've done it before. Anyone know the format for, what I think, is the "where condition" in the open form command?
I have recently started using queries to base my forms on. Even for basic forms i am using the query as the record source.
If for example i have a standard query with no criteria e.g. a employee form. How would i then use that query to create a report that filters for example a list of employees for a certain company?
Would i have to create a seperate query to base the report on? because the form when opened will always filter that criteria?
If this is the case, is there a way to keep a query set up with no criteria but when the object being used is opened some code will pass to the query the criteria e.g. a combo box on a form list all the companies and when one is selected it passes this to the query e.g. without the criteria already being in the query?
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 have a combo box in a form which allows users to select a Client Group. One of the choices in the combo box is ALL.
I have some code in a STEP1 query that says SELECT IIf(Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]="ALL","'SEDP' Or 'LD' Or 'MH'",Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]) AS Expr1 FROM MPI_PERSON GROUP BY IIf(Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]="ALL","'SEDP' Or 'LD' Or 'MH'",Forms![Date Picker].[Client Group]);
I have a STEP2 query to select all records on the MPI_PERSON table and do some slight processing.
Now, in a STEP3 query, I want to select all records from the STEP2 query where the field [Client Group] satisfies the STEP1 criteria. If the Client Group chosen in the Combo box is one of the existing categories i.e. SEDP or MD or LH, it works but where the ALL has been entered, it is returning no records in the final query.
I have tried pasting the results of the STEP1 query into the criteria box as a test - and in that case it does return all records I want. What do I need to do to get the criteria recognised in the QBE box - do I need to use Eval or something?
Here is the SQL for the final query SELECT [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Paris ID], [Find all Clients STEP 2].DOB, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[DOB Estimated], [Find all Clients STEP 2].Gender, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status From Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status To Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].STS_MAIN, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Title, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Name, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_FROM, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_TO, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group], [Find all Clients STEP 1].Expr1, Len([Expr1]) AS Expr2 FROM [Find all Clients STEP 2], [Find all Clients STEP 1] GROUP BY [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Paris ID], [Find all Clients STEP 2].DOB, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[DOB Estimated], [Find all Clients STEP 2].Gender, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status From Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Status To Date], [Find all Clients STEP 2].STS_MAIN, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Title, [Find all Clients STEP 2].Name, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_FROM, [Find all Clients STEP 2].NAM_TO, [Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group], [Find all Clients STEP 1].Expr1, Len([Expr1]) HAVING ((([Find all Clients STEP 2].[Client Group])=[Find all Clients STEP 1].[Expr1]));
Hope there isn't too much "Social Services speak" in there - I can also strip down non-crucial fields if it makes it easier to follow what I'm on about.
I have an insert query that works fine when all fields are entered: INSERT INTO tblMaster (Fname, Lname, Address, Address2) Values ('Cozmo', 'Kramer', '1Main', '2Main');
BUT...if I have Address2 as blank b/c its an optional field I get a validation rule error...even though there is no validation set up on this field in the table.
Using Access 2003. Really need some help. Have the below code which executes a SELECT query and passes the results as an excel spreadsheet attached to an email. Problem is that the query store_report has some parameters that need to be passed to it. Is there a way that with my current code I can pass those parameters. If not is there some other commands or code I can use to accomplish this?
DoCmd.SendObject acSendQuery, "store_report", acFormatXLS, _ "john@john.com", "c.w.k@gmail.com", , _ "Store Reports", "Here are your reports.", True
My form has a date field (with a default of today-105 days)( and can be updated by the user) which is part of the following query
SELECT dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT, dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_WO, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_ID, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_PS FROM dbo_CM_AS_LG LEFT JOIN dbo_CM_EQ_MA ON dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_TP = dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_NO_P WHERE (((dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT)>[Forms]![F_Q_RISC_SWAPS]![SearchDate]) AND ((dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "RISC/6000*" Or (dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "ibm power pc*")) ORDER BY dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT;
The query is thr root query for the form, but when the form opens the default date has not been set and I get an error. Is there a good way to pass a parameter into a query ? I have tried running the qury using the ON Open Property too, which works until I try and call this form from another one.
I'm sure there's a simple answer, I just can't see the wood for the trees (yet)
I have a form with a combo box that when I select a value I want the hidden value (UserID) passed to a query that would open up a form that is set up like a data sheet. When I try to set up a form that would display the records related to the UserID I end up getting all records and the UserID column replaced with the passed value when I set the control source to = Forms!frmEmployeeInstances!cboShiftEmployees.Colum n(0) I don’t know if I can pass the value to a query (if the query can even acknowledge the passed value), so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the OnClick set to open a form called frmShowInstances via a Macro but I could never get the Where Condition to work either.
I have built a function which passes values into the criteria of a saved query. It has worked very well until I recently built a query builder based on this same concept. The user can select from a list of operators "<=", ">=", ">", "<", "=".
Example, the function will pass into the criteria the following: <150
Unfortunately, I have exhausted all avenues for passing the "<" less than or greater than signs into the criteria. The Access SQL forces an equals sign before the passed in criteria and thus treats the "<150" as the entire criteria.
I have overcome no criteria by defaulting the function value to pass in the wildcard "*" and putting "Like" in the criteria.
Has anyone every handled a "variable" operator in a saved query in Access? :confused:
I am aware that I can change the QueryDef, use temp tables, and do several other longer methods, but the success of this concept will reduce an large amount of coding effort as well as make the software much easier to transfer knowledge on.
This overall method is really a great way to reuse criteria based on a form without hard coding.
i have a query in design view to which i'd like to pass a criteria value for one field... I have some routine in VBA which creates a string as below:
"SupplierName1" And "SupplierName2" And "SupplierName3"
I am passing this to a textbox on the form exactly as shown above.
I would now like to use this value as criteria input for the query. However, it seems that Access doesn't recognise this....if I write just SupplierName1 in the textbox, the query works fine but as soon as I put in the quotes or else more than one supplier name, it does not work...
any ideas how can i resolve this?
Just FYI, the string of names of suppliers is being generated through string manipulation from a listbox using a value list.
When I have my form I have an unbound control called rtdDate. In rtdDate's AfterUpdateEvent I have it run a append query. Within the append query I have the following:
RTD Date: forms!masterListQ!rtdDate
Yet it keeps coming up blank when you run the query. Its like its not finding the value of it. I'm sure you can tell I'm pretty much an amateur at database building but I thought this would be pretty easy.
I currently have a table showing activity for multiple staff and their availability throughout the day in 30 minutes segments.
I am currently trying to pull the information on who is working by 30 minute timeslice, but as the information is held in a different field for ech period, it is proving difficult.
My thought was to make a query rounding the current time to the nearest hour/half hour and use this to choose the field, but I don't know how to make a query which will allow me to pass a variable (Field name) into the Select query?
I wonder if anyone can help me? I am at the stage now of building a query in design view. Rather than using a dynamic parameter field to capture a range of dates (between...[InputDate] And [InputDate]), I have created a text box in a form and want to pass the contents to my query. I have got this to work providing the variable that is passed is 'text'. I need to pass two dates though. When I put paths to the forms textbox in the 'Between' statement above, it just doesn't return any records. I think Access sees these text boxes as 'text' rather than 'dates'. I don't know how to change it so Access sees these as dates. Any ideas?
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.
