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 have form with a button on it that launches a parameter-based Select query (which served as the source for a report). I didn't have any validation measure in place, so if the User supplied a bogus value, a blank report was generated. While not technically an error, it would seem more polished to generate a warning message if the User supplies a bad query value and prompt them to re-enter.
Having read other posts along these lines, I've added an unbound text box to the form which the User fills in first before clicking the button. When the button is clicked, it executes code that uses the DCount function to make sure the text box value is in the source table, and if it is then it runs the parameter-based Select query. My question is how to pass the value in the text box to the query as a parameter. Below is a sanitized version of the code that I've generated so far.
Private Sub SingleItemRptB_Click() If DCount("[FieldName]", "[Table]", "[FieldName]=[TextBoxValue]") = 0 Then MsgBox "Item not in database. Please check value and re-enter." Else DoCmd.OpenQuery "SingleItemQ", acViewNormal, acReadOnly End If End Sub
Picture, if you will, a table with multiple fields, each of which contains the date of a certain action in the process tracked by each record. I have a standard report format that will be used to view the progress of the actions. I want to be able to sort the report - on demand by non-technical users - by whichever date field they choose.
I've created a form with a combo box that is linked to a table with the name of each field in the source table. A Macro has been configured to open the form when the report is opened, which will prompt for the selection of the sort field. That value is then captured into a TempVar.
When the user clicks OK control passes to a procedure in a module that executes a SELECT statement (SQL) that configures the Query that is used for report generation. The "ORDER BY" portion of the statement needs to be modified with the name of the sort field desired. If the statement is hard coded as, for example:
...ORDER BY Main.[Initiated Date] DESC;
it works fine. I want to use the value of the TempVar to provide the name of the date field (ex.: [Initiated Date]), but I can't determine the correct syntax to get the statement to accept it. Concatenating doesn't seem to work, and I've searched high and low for hints on the web. Here's one version of what I've tried (and which fails):
"...ORDER BY Main." & [TempVars].[SortParm] & ";"
The error returned by the above version is: "Object doesn't support this property or method"
(SortParm is the name of the TempVar, and it is correctly populating, and keeping, the value I need from the form.)
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 have a button on a subform that becomes visible if there is no records in the source of the subform. When clicked I want to run a query that will insert a record on to the source of the subform. There is one field in the query that I need to get from the parent form.The first part works OK - the button is visible when the source file to the subform for this main form record, is empty.
If I run the query against the source file it inserts the new record after it has asked for the value of the variable field.My problem is that when I try to run the query when the button is clicked It can't find form![ClientFileFrm]![ClientId]..This is my code on the subform
Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.RecordSource <> "" Then If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then Me.AddSettingsButton.Visible = True
[code]...
The ClientFileFrm is the main form.I can't seem to reference the clientId variable back to the main form.
My problem is as follows, i have created a report that calculates the total volume of FSC Materials. The user picks two dates from Calender controls that the report will range from. However the needs have now changed and i am required to make the report filter further based on user input, the problem i'm facing is that i cannot figure out a way to pass values from different variables to the report separate from another here is the code i would usually use to pass data to a query/report:
Code: Private Sub MonthlyFSC_Click() Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish") Start = adhDoCalendar() Finish = adhDoCalendar()
[Code] ....
However i am now trying to do this, but it gives me an error as it is trying to pass the values to one field:
It is performing incorrectly within the case select and passing the wrong criteria, as it will only display results that meet the default values' criteria. However the date criteria is not be passed either.
I have an issue I've run into and have searched around and tried to resolve. The issue is that I have a table that is updated once a week with new data, calculations are performed on new fields, etc...Ok, no problem on that. Oh, to give you a quick overview, the table is for Open and Received orders. Ok, the new field is Actual Received Date. Well, if open, obviously it's not received. If received, it's placed in that field, if Open, that field is blank for that record. I need to create a SELECT QUERY, would save TONS of time here if possible, to do an IF THEN ELSE type aspect that basically, if Actual Receive Date is present, then use this calc, if not, use that calc, etc...ANY IDEAS? Take a look below for additional information. The following are ONLY EXAMPLES to give you a better understanding of the issue.
1 Table, 1 Query, 2 Fields, IF THEN ELSE EXPRESSION within SELECT QUERY under 1 Field.
If IsNull([Tables]![tblOrdersMain]![mActReceiveDate].value) = True Then [Query]![Query]![DAYS LATE].value = Value1 Else [Query]![Query]![DAYS LATE].value = Value2 End If
Well, definitely need HELP! Any questions or anything please let me know.
I am trying to write a query that looks at a set of parts that are assigned to the same "Asset" number, and takes the sum of all prices for that collection of parts.
I have the query set up to do this without any problem. Where I am stuck is that in the table containing the details of parts, there are three possible prices. What I need it to do is take price c if there is no value in prices b or a, price b if there is no price in price a (otherwise take price a).
I have tried this using the criteria ="price a" = 0 AND "price b" = 0 (for price c) and ="price a" = 0 (for price b criteria). When I run the query I get a "Data type mismatch in query expression" error.
I have three tables. TableA contains certain order information, such as the username of the employee, type of order, alias number, etc. TableB contains phone numbers, username of the employee, etc. TableC contains supervisor names and alias numbers.I didn't make these tables but that's what I'm working with. I connected TableA to TableB with the username of the employee, and then TableA to TableC using the alias numbers.
I have a report that summarizes how many orders of each type there are. It shows the supervisor, employee username, alias numbers and then each type of order with the amount of orders of each type under the headers.My boss wants to be able to click on the amount of that type of order and have it show him the details for those orders. This is where my problem is.
I was able to use an Inner Join type of query that allows me to filter the data by order type (however, I have to make a new query for each order type since I'm not too experienced on this). The problem is that I cannot find a way to have a query filter the data by order type AND employee username, so that it only displays the orders taken by a certain employee and it only contains one order type at a time, depending on which order type you clicked.
On [Form1] I have a Multi-Select Listbox[List1] which shows Job Numbers [WBS] (The job numbers displaying are a result of a separate query filtered by the Fiscal Year combobox). When I click [CMD1] I want [Query1] results to only be selected [WBS] from the form.What is the best way to code this? I'm a beginner when it comes to VBA.
I have a query with multiple fields that is being run off of 3 parameters (linked for selection in a form). The problem is, I wanted to enable a select all feature, so I included a "Or ... Is Null" part in my criteria section, so that when nothing is selected, the query/report returns all records.
Okay so the problem is whenever I run the query with nothing selected for the parameter and then return to design view for the query, a new field has been created in the query design, titled with the expression I use to pull the parameter value from the form. This is frustrating because then that is causing errors in another report I run that pulls values from that query.
Let's say Table (T1) has fields F1 and F2. After a massive update to T1, there are some records with F1 = "" because a Dlookup using F2 as criteria to another Table (T2) resulted in a null. I created a select query to show unique T1F2 values where T1F1 = "". The user can use this query to find out which F2 values need to be added to T2.
How do I create an update query that will update T1F1 with values from T2 using the T1F2 results from the select query to again use the Dlookup to T2 (of course after T2 has been updated to contain the missing F2's)?
I have a form displaying the contents of a table in a datasheet view. I want to click on a row and open up a new form that will use a field in the selected row as a parameter.
I know how to call the VBA procedure by setting the double click on field (Cant do it for click on any fields in the row?) and in the VBA was using:
strText = Me.[Product Reference].Value
to get the required value. However this only seems to work in single form view. If it is in datasheet view it gives an error and will not let you save the form.
I am guessing I am missing the row identifier in my VBA code.
I'm trying to create a database where a single "Classification" field is populated by selections made in a multiselect listbox and I can't figure out how to do this. Any help people can provide?
Table 1: Name_ID <pk> Name Classification
Table 2: Classification_ID <pk> Classification
What I want to happen is click on a button next to the Classification field (text) and a popup form with a multi-select list loads (this part is easy, of course). The user can select as many classifications as they want, click the ok button and each item selected then goes back to the first form and populate in the Classification field (seperated by commas or semi-colons). This possible?
OK - I have seen the other posts where individuals are trying to select multiple items from a list box and have a field populate with the selections. I have not seen a clear explanation defining if this is possible.
Essentially, I want to be able to query on the field and search for multiple selections within that field. Any recommendations as to how this can be achieved?
My next question, is if the selections in a multiple instance field are separated by a comma or some other character what is the best method to query for multile responses. For example, if the following data is in the field 1,2,3 and I want to query on 1 or 2?
I have a control on a form which opens up Word and completes fields in the Word document with data on the form. It basically fills in an invoice form.
Everything works ok apart from when the invoice date and order date fields are passed. In the tables and in the forms, the dates are in Long Format ie '17 May 2005'. However, when they are apssed to the Word document, they are in a shortened format ie '17/05/05'. I am required to show the Long Format but am at a loss to find out how to achieve this.
I use bookmarks in the Word document and the code on my form relating to these fields are:
The Word document cannot be changed as far as I can see. I believe the answer could be to change the code above to change the format, but cannot get anything to work?
I have "LossForm" to record loss of inventory items due to damage, theft, etc. It has "Loss Subform" for input of multiple items. The row has a calculated field "TotalLoss" (from qty * itemcost). The footer of subform has unbound text field =Sum(nz([TotalLoss])). This all works fine. The problem I have is that I need to pass the total to another form. I want to have a pop-up form to use some of the field values from the Loss form. I have been able to pass all of the field values except for the TotalLoss.
pop up form: Set frmPrevious = Screen.ActiveForm Me.TransactionID = frmPrevious.LossID Me.EntryType = "Loss" Me.Date = frmPrevious.LossDate { Me.Amount = frmPrevious.TotalLoss doesn't work } DoCmd.Save End Sub
I also tried to setup a global, class, and module variable but keep getting error message of undefined variable.
I have several different sub-forms that have a button that opens a new form which creates a new record. Each of the different sub-forms have a field value that needs to be passed to the new record when the other form is opened. I've tried a few solutions, but to no avail. Right now I'm using the macro functionality as follows for one of the subforms:
The problem I think is that I'm creating a new record so the value doesn't get passed. The new record is only created after the user begins to enter data in the new form that was opened.
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.
