I am using the SELECT TOP 3 statement to select the top 3 values from a given data field. The SELECT works great, as long as there are no duplicate values in the TOP 3 values. For example if the top 3 values are 210, 202 & 199 they are selected correctly but if there three records that have the 199 value I am selecting 210, 202, 199, 199 and 199. Is there a way to only select the first 3 top values, i.e. the first three encountered?
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
I am trying to narrow down a list for a combobox by specifing one of the fields value on form as a acriteria SELECT location.LOCNAME FROM location; WHERE (((location.LOCCLIINIT)=[location].[LOCCLIINIT]));
I get all list of locations' name instaed of location names with client code as displayed n current form.
I have a table with two fk's, one is oper_id and the other is oper_detail. Is it possible to write a select statement that will look in the first fk column to determine which table to get the second fk, oper_detail, data?
or I'll describe what I need to do and if someone has a better solution, I would appreciate input:
there are several different types of operations that can take place with each operation having wholly different data associated with it. Each type of operation then has many ways that it in itself can be conducted.
I created a table for each type of operation and populated them with relevant oper_details for that operation. I have another table that has oper_ID and oper_name. The log table, where this all comes together, has fk oper_ID and fk oper_detail (the row in the table oper_ID is referencing), which is supposed to tell me which way that particular oper_ID was conducted from the appropriate operation table. Select statement or change structure?
Basically I have a table called Supervisors with the following columns LastName FirstName LicenseNumber Area
I have a form in which the user select supervisor by lastName, firstName (area)
this is done by a combo box on the form with the row source of SELECT Supervisors.LastName & ", " & Supervisors.FirstName & " (" & Supervisors.Area & ")" AS SupervisorsName FROM Supervisors;
Instead of that I want to enter the supervisor's License Number so I was using the select statement to find supervisor's License Number based on lastName, firstName (area)
I guess I am asking how to create a nested select statement in vba
I have multiple codes assigned to records in a table. I want to be able to say IIf [code] = "FMIX",[qty]*2.2046/7.1, IIf [code] = "Liqd", [qty]*2.2046 and everything else can just equal [qty]. I have tried this statment Expr1: IIf([family-code]="FMIX",[SumOfqty-on-hand]*2.2046 IIf([family-code]="LIQD",<[SumOfqty-on-hand]*2.2046>,[SumOfqty-on-hand]),[SumOfqty-on-hand]) and it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
Hi, I have the following Select statement where basically i want to retrieve a customer's first and last name depending on the customer id that is already shown on my form (the customer id on the form is being displayed in a text box, CustomerIDText):
Dim cnn1 As ADODB.Connection Set cnn1 = CurrentProject.Connection
Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = cnn1
Dim mySQL As String
mySQL = "SELECT CustomerID, CustomerFirstName, CustomerLastName" mySQL = mySQL + " FROM CustomerTBL" mySQL = mySQL + " WHERE CustomerID = '" & Me.CustomerIDText.Value & "' "
myRecordSet.Open mySQL
But when i go to open my form I get a run time error "Data type mismatch in criteria expression"
I think the part of my statement '" & Me.CustomerIDText.Value & "' is the problem, not sure why though. Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Also once i've got my sql statement to work, how would i get an unbound textfield to display the first name, for example that i have retrived, would it be something like: textfield.value = mySQL FirstName ?
Hi I had been trying to use the "Select" statment of the sql in Access.But how do I actually execute the sql command? For example, Dim sql As String sql = "select * from Name"

I'm trying to do a select statement and put it in a variable which i can then output to a text box. How do I get the value into a variable? I can't seem to get my syntax right
Can someone simplify my feeble scratching at a Case Select statement, please?
I have two fields in a table (True/False): IsActive and IsDefault
I would like to convert some If...Else...Then statements to a Case Select statement which details what should be done when any of the possible states of the two fields exist.
Semi-Psuedo example in the (subform) Form_Current Event: With Me If !IsActive = True And !IsDefault = False Then Do Something on the Parent form ElseIf !IsActive = True And !IsDefault = False Then Do Something Else on the Parent form ElseIf !IsActive = True And !IsDefault = True Then Do Something Else Again on the Parent form Else Do Something Entirely Different End If End With
What blows my mind is the Select Case Expression bit. I can't figure out how to write this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a table called myTable and it contains two fields Year and Month. Both are type of integer.
Now in my select statement, I like to combine these two fields in to one and name it as period and it will have the format, for example 200501, 200502, ..., 200512. How can I do that in Access query statement?
I know how to do this in SQL Server 2000. That is:
Select Convert(varchar(4), [Year]) + right('00' + cast([Month] as varchar(2)), 2) as Period from myTable
First off thanks for this forum it has gotten me this far. 2nd I have a question on how the best way to accomplish this. So I have a table that has customer info in it, Account #, Name, city, state, Zip. I have a form that allows users to type in fields to query for particular info. My select statement is below.
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As String Dim dbNm As Database Dim qryDef As QueryDef Set dbNm = CurrentDb()
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSONME) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.COMPANY_NAME) Like '*" & Me.txtCSONME & "*' AND" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOSLD) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.ACCOUNT1) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOSLD & "*' AND" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOSSM) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.REP_NUMBER) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOSSM & "*' AND" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOARN) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.CONTACT_NAME) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOARN & "*' AND" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOCTY) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.CITY) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOCTY & "*' AND" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOST) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.STATE) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOST & "*' And" End If
Everything works but I can only search for one state. So now I want to search for two or more states. I've added multiple text fields on my form and have tried approaching it that way. Unfortunily if I add txtCSOST2 for example then add
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOST2) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.STATE) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOST2 & "*' And" End If
tblCONSOLIDATED.STATE has to contain both state codes. If I put an Or instead of And I get both states and all other search critera is ignored. Basically I need to be able to query by two or more states and it still be an and I guess. For example we may have a Rep A (Me.txtCSOSSM) that goes into TX & OK but Rep B also has a peice of TX. If I'm looking all the accounts that are in TX & OK and are Rep A and I use the below code I get all of the TX & OK accounts as well as Rep A accounts.
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOST) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.STATE) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOST & "*' Or" End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtCSOST2) Then strWhere = strWhere & " (tblCONSOLIDATED.STATE) Like '*" & Me.txtCSOST2 & "*' Or" End If
I know that has to be simple I just wrap my brain around it. Let me know if this needs further explaination.
If I write a select case statement for a field X i.e. 6 to 7 for example will this:1. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but less than (and not including) 7B. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but includes decimels of 7 i.e. 7.5 ORC. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but includes but literally only includes cases where the the whole number 7 appears>I only ask because in an example in a book I am looking at says:Case 10000 to 20000......Case 20001 to 30000I would have through the word "to" means until but not including but in this case the field that equals 20000 would never be selected?
hi guys. i was hoping you guys could help me, i have a combo box "cbocontract" which gets populated according to a selection from another combobox(cboAll). now i have another combo box(cboStatus) which according to what the user selects in cbocontract list box it should display active or inactive, now i have the row source from the cboStatus like this:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Test.Status FROM TEST WHERE (TEST.Facility=forms![Change of Status]!txtInvoice.value) and (TEST.PM_Contract_ID=forms![Change of Status]!cboContract);
it works perfectly, however is there a way to make put this code in a text box? how do i insert the select distinctrow into a textbox??? it should only display one value according to what the user selects in the cbocontract combo box... also, the user should be able to edit this textbox.
Th following sql select statement works in mssql server but gives an error in Access. Says that there is a "syntax error in FROM clause". Can anyone translate this into access.
SELECT L1.* from log as L1 JOIN (SELECT [vehicle number],Max(Date+' '+time) as maxdate FROM log GROUP BY [vehicle number]) AS L2 ON L1.[vehicle number] = L2.[vehicle number] and L2.maxdate = L1.date+' '+L1.time

I have an append query that contains an IIF statement. I want to code that into a VBA function. The SQL view of the query looks like this:
Code: INSERT INTO tmpAvailInv ( NUID, Inv_Name, F_Name, M_Name, L_Name, Role ) SELECT tblPeople.NUID, tblPeople.[F_name] & IIf(IsNull([M_Name])," "," " & [M_Name] & " ") & [L_Name] AS Inv_Name, tblPeople.F_Name, tblPeople.M_Name, tblPeople.L_Name, tblPeople.Role FROM tblPeople WHERE (((tblPeople.Role)="Investigator") AND ((tblPeople.Archive)=False));
What I wrote for the VBA code is this:
Code: Dim strSQL As String Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....
Where it chokes is on the IIF statement with the double-quotes in it. I've tried several combinations with single quotes and double double-quotes. I'm just not getting it.
Code: "SELECT Bookings_Table.Booking_Time, Bookings_Table.Num_Slots, Bookings_Table.Booking_Date FROM Bookings_Table ORDER BY Bookings_Table.Booking_Time;"
But when i add the WHERE
Code: "SELECT Bookings_Table.Booking_Time, Bookings_Table.Num_Slots, Bookings_Table.Booking_Date FROM Bookings_Table WHERE (((Bookings_Table.Booking_Date)=[TB_CAL_DATE])) ORDER BY Bookings_Table.Booking_Time;"
it doesn't work [TB_CAL_DATE] is a textbox with a Date in it...
using the Select statement on a form;I have it looking up 3 fields, Ordered by the first and bound by the first.the other 2 are being stored in different fields.What is weird is that I need to have the first field entered twice in order for it to show up, which means I'm looking up 4 fields.When I go to store the selection after, only 2 are available... know this confusing; here is the Select Statement;
SELECT [ITEM CODE1].[ItemCode],[ItemCode],[Customer],[Project Description] FROM [ITEM CODE1] ORDER BY [ITEM CODE1].[ItemCode] ;
If I don't type ItemCode twice, it shows Project Description in the drop down box. When I use the code above, only ItemCode and Customer are available to store in other fields;
Me.Customer = Me.ComID.Column(2) which actually stores Customer (should be column 3)
On that form load I want to use the following SQL statement to populate that text box.
SELECT TOP 1 tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Machine, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.The_Date, tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.Time FROM tbl_QA_Check_Sheets ORDER BY tbl_QA_Check_Sheets.ID DESC;
I've been banging my head of a brick wall with this one. Its probably straight forward... but I can't see the solution! A problem shared is a problem halved... or so they say!
Ok I have this table called CustomerComments. In it are the following columns
CustID Comment CommentDate
For each custID I want the most recent commentdate and its matching comment from that row... (there can be multilple comments recorded per custID)
Problem is I can't seem to get this to work.. instead its returning all rows. I have run a query that will sort and group this list. The top line of the grouping gives the most recent comment and commentdate per customer.
Does anyone know how I could just get that top line per custID rather than all rows returned?
