Prompting For Parameter - Why?
Dec 12, 2005
Hello,
I have a table which contains:
InvNo - Autonumber (invoice number)
AccNo - Clients account number
Amount - Amount of invoice
I also have this data (minus the InvNo) in a linked spreadsheet. I would like to keep the spreadsheet as it is all set up for the printing of multiple copies etc.
The idea is, I want to import the data from the spreadsheet into the database, which will then apply an invoice number (because it is an autonumber), and then get that invoice number back into excel.
I have done it all, but cannot get it to give me the invoice number assigned to it.
I thought I would have a simple query that looks for records in the table that are the same account number, and amount (plus a few others I havn't included here), and then it could return the InvNo.
But, whenever I run the query, it asks me to specify the parameter, it doesn't seem to be able to read from the linked spreadsheet (it is openable, I can open it in access just fine).
In the query I have put (under criteria): "[LinkedSpreadsheet]![AccNo]" (and similar for the other fields I want to match).
What is wrong?
Thank you!

I have a report with a subreport. I have added a parameter to the query to prompt for [manager] or is null to get all managers. However, on the report when I enter a manager my count on the subreport still returns the count for all. So, I added the same prompt to the query for the subreport. It returns the right count, however, it prompts for the manager multiple times. How do I get it to prompt only once yet get the right total?

I have a for form with a button to run a report. The report runs a query. The query reads data on the form to feed the report. The data that is from the table works fine but data from a text box on the form will not. It prompts for EXPR1.
In my query I have the following:
EXPR1: [Cnum]
[Forms]![FRM-Customer]![Cnum]
where FRM-Customer is the form with the button to run the report and Cnum in the text box data that I want to pass to the report. Every time I run it it prompts Cnum?

Hi all,
I Have a form bound to a table.
The form will be used by poor experienced users so to avoid problems i would like whenever we move to a new record(or changing the contents of a stored one) a save record message to appear refering to the one we are just leaving.
Generally i would like a solution which will restrict users from entering data by mistake using scroll mouse or ctr+page down.
If i could design it ,i would choose that nothing in the form is saved until a save all button is clicked.This means that the user will enter virtually as much data as he likes but they will be stored in the table only when the button is clicked,but i don't know if this is possible since my form is bound to table.
Thank you all in advance,
black ailouros

I'm using VBA to prompt users for two required fields. One I can do, but with more than one I get into issues like only 1 message box appearing at a time. If both fields are blank I want both messages to appear. Here's my code, it's in an On click function:
If IsNull(req_file_num) = True Then
MsgBox "Required field: File #. The appropriate file number must be entered before this PO's status can be changed to Filed."
GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2
End If
If Not [req_filed_date] Then
[req_process_status_rec_id] = 8
MsgBox "Your changes have been processed. This purchase order now has a status of Filed."
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_req_file"
GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2
Else: MsgBox "Required field: File Date. The appropriate date must be entered before this PO's status can be changed to Filed."
GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2
End If
Err_Command_158_Click2:
End Sub
I realize that it only shows one message box because I have the GoTo Err_Command_158_Click2 command, but I couldn't figure out how else to keep it from continuing through the code. If both "req_file_num" and "req_filed_date" are null, then I don't want the "req_process_status_rec_id" to change to 8 and have the form close.
Thanks for your help!

I'm trying do a Select Case on a form control where the user is prompted for information depending on the value in the control.
Here's a generic example:
If field1 = "Vegatable" then
Select 1 for Brocolli
Select 2 for Lettuce
Select 3 for tomato
If field1 = "Fruit" then
select 1 for "Banana"
select 2 for "Apple"
select 3 for "Peach"

I have a database table to which I will be adding multiple records from various other contributors. I would like to build a simple, import-friendly excel table that I can mail out to others, so that they can fill it out and send it back to me. Then I will save import steps as a macro or something similar, so that I can easily import their data.
The hard part is that I would like a way for Access to compare the new records with the existing records, identify potential duplicate records by predetermined criteria (in other words, 'wild-carded' to some level of specificity, since duplicates could be off by just a few characters), and then prompt me to examine each record to be imported alongside however many existing records that have been identified as potential duplicates. Then I as the user could:
1. accept the import record as a new record
2. decline importing that record since it is a duplicate of an existing record, or
3. edit by hand an existing record that is a duplicate of the proposed import, but may require additional information, and then decline to import the new one.After each prompt, I would like the import process to continue to the next potential duplicate, and when there are no duplicates, to complete the import and display a message box that says "Import complete".

I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

But I odn't know why it is asking me to enter a parameter value. Could anyone offer help?

I want to run a query automatically in the gotfocus event of a field within a form.
Prior to the gotfocus, a value is entered in an unbound text box on the form and I want to use that value for the maximum value in the parameters. I will set the minimum to zero.
My code errors in the where, it has no problem with the serial number but I can't seem to set the deliv_no to pull the value entered on the form.
SELECT Sum(VOLTEST.unc_del) AS SumOfunc_del
FROM VOLTEST
WHERE (((VOLTEST.SERIAL_NO)=[Forms]![largeVolume1]![serial]) AND ((VOLTEST.DELIV_NO)>0 And (VOLTEST.DELIV_NO)<=([Forms![largeVolume1]![No_del])));
I figure this is a syntax problem. Can you guys see where I have gone wrong?
I need the value to write to the table, not the form when this runs.
Thanks, GG

Whenever I enter yes or no when the prompt comes up, I get an error saying the expression is typed incorrectly or the data is too complex. How do I set it up so the user can select yes or no in some way? thanks

Hi,
I have been programing SQL for almost 3 years now but, am a newbie with access. I have just added a field to a form used by employees to enter time and am getting a parameter request when the user clicks Add Entry. I placed a msgBox before the insert line and noticed the field data (type memo) is being sent by the insert query as an integer (without quotes). Any ideas how I might get the insert to pass the Comments field as a string?
Thanks,
~Leo

Set Start & End Dates
I have a list box that lists the 52 week numbers of the year
week 1 being 26-03-2005 to 01-04-2005
week 2 being 02-04-2005 to 08-04-2005....etc.
My aim
By choosing a week no all the records within that date will be returned
I am trying to do away with having to type the start and end date each time a search is carried out
I need to be able to click on the week no and from that the results are shown. perhaps in another list box or something
Any thoughts on how to make this sort of thing work?
thanks

Hello,
I am designing a query as i have been advised in the following Quote:
Doc ManNow, you write a couple of queries. As a parameter to the queries, choose a date that will be your archiving cutoff or split point. Usually the last day of some month or quarter. Doesn't matter as long as you are consistent about it. The technical cutoff will be, in effect, 23:59:59 of the chosen date. The first record to be KEPT will be 00:00:00 of the next day in sequence.
Query #1 - Compute stock on hand as of your cutoff date. Create a single stock-on-hand transaction with the cutoff date. Put it in a temporary table until you need it. This will be a two-layer query. I.e. a query of a query.
Query #1A - a summation query grouped by item number for all transactions earlier than the archiving date so you can get the "inventory of X at archiving date"
Query #1B - an append query that draws from the summation query and feeds it to the temp table. The stock-on-hand record will have the archiving date
.
I am able to get "inventory of X at archiving date" and append the results to a temporary table but I can't see how to append the "archiving Date" data itself to the same table as the "Archiving date" is entered via parameter prompt? Any ideas?

Hi there
When using parameters from one form to the next I normally hide the form and then reference the parameter textboxes in the next form to the hidden form. Is there a better way of doing this as I saw threads here mentioning passing a parameter. How do I do this? Thanks!
