Queries :: Customizing Access Parameter Query - No Data
Apr 22, 2015
I don't want my user to type in the parameter value for a query in case of miss spelling. Therefore, I'm using a dialog box form with a combo box field. The row source of the combo field is a table with one field for the list. I've added VB code (Event Procedure) to a buttons on the dialog box which says to run a query after click. I've created the query for the info I need displayed and am using the forms combo field as the criteria.
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryRequestsbyBranch", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmDepartmentList"
End Sub
The query runs except I'm not getting any data.

Hi
I wonder if anyone could re-orientate me and put me in the correct direction regarding the above subject. Without wittling on too much what I,ve been basically trying to do is to get a query that I've made, derive its criteria from a form that has 3 combo boxes on it allowing a user to select varying options. I have been using a forum thread which described the process in more detail and whilst I,ve followed it to the letter the end result that I get
an annoying message "The expression On Click event that you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occured while MS Access was communicating with the OLE server or Active X control. It goes onto say that the expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user defined function, or [Event Procedure].There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro". The thread took me to www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm and it is on this site that I have been trying in vain to come up with a matching result. Am I going mad or is there someting on their tutorial that is mis-leading me! I am desperately trying to adminster some 'self help' and to use the forum threads but I am still at a loss as to what to do next. Could some kind person please help...

I have a parameter query using a form to collect the data. I put LIKE and wildcard enclosing the parameter to bypass the criteria if the data box is empty. It works well. I have another parameter of date type that uses between two dates. How can I bypass the criteria if I leave the data boxes blank?

My parameters are linked to a form and say:
[Forms]![FormName]![Field] or [Forms]![FormName]![Field] Is Null
Ordinarily this works fine in returning either the selected value or all values if left null.
I need to pull in data from a Crosstab query, which means setting my parameter labels to [Forms]![FormName]![Field].
The problem is that setting the parameter labels is conflicting with pulling all records if the form dropdown is left null.
If I keep my parameters simple and just say [Forms]![FormName]![Field] then the query works with the crosstab data, but I can't do that. I need to show any records if the dropdown is left null.
The crosstab data isn't specifically the problem but needing to set the parameter names seems to be
I think I may have found a workaround by labeling the column headings in the crosstab, which means I don't have to assign parameter labels
It would still be good to know if there's a way of making it work with the parameter labels but this will do for now...

I have a reasonably complex query (3 subqueries into 1 main query) which gathers data from various tables into a single dataset based on a specified date.
I now need to generate a similar dataset but across a range of dates (a month) for reporting purposes. However, I can't just adapt the query and change the parameter from a "=#<Date>#" format to a "Between #<Date1># And #<Date2>#" format
The reason being, each date has to be treated individually and has to be queried as a standalone. It's to do with the type of data I have (one-to-many relationships between tables)
So what I really need to do is run the same query multiple times, for each date in scope, then stitch all of those datasets together into one 'giant' one.
How to do that in SQL (effectively, have one query produce the dates in scope, then join that onto the other query, passing each date as the parameter - I don't even think that's possible to be honest)
The other option I can think of is to use VBA to loop through the dates in scope, then use a QueryDef object to set the parameter and read the records for each date into a Recordset object. But then I have the problem of stitching all the Recordsets together, without looping through all the fields and rows each time.

I have 5 queries that I am running. The first query has the date range parameters set in the field area that I need to run and each additional create table query is based off the results of the previous query.
1. Which is better to use to run all of the queries in one simple step? A macro or a form? I am exporting the final table to excel so that I can make some additional adjustments off of it.
2. How would I setup the date range parameters for the first query if I were to use a macro without going into the query itself and updating the date field? I tried setting up a macro to run the queries by using the OpenQuery action for each of the 5 queries, but I cannot figure out how to do the date range.

I have query with a parameter [Category]. Based on this value i wish to select team data like if [Category]="Sale" then (team) in (1,9,5), if [Category]="Purchase" then (team)="7" else (team) in (1,9,5,7).
Both the fields team and category are from same table called 'rawdata'
Report displays the data datewise but it is grouping according to team,which is not what i required;
Date CntValues
12/1/2013 1 [team 1]
12/1/2013 3 [team 9]
output should be
12/1/2013 4
that is to avoid duplicate date values.

Hi - I am looking for some help understanding the instructions in the msdn article on how to pass a parameter from a DAP. Please refer to the article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnacc2k2/html/odc_PassParam.asp
I was able to follow the instructions until Page 2 of this article...where it says: "Add the functions to write, read and delete cookies in a separate global script block."
I do not understand how to create a global Script block. Do I just copy and paste this code right below the 1st code on Page 2? Or, is there a way to create a global script block separately and add this code there?
I am unable to find that much Online resources on DAP as other Access topics. I thought posting my question here would be the last resort for assistance! :confused:

I have a table with a string field for a street. It might have data such as:
Bleeker Street
or Bleeker St.
I want to create a query that will enable the user to search for a string by entering a parameter. Is there a way to construct a query using wildcards for a string so that if the user types in "Bleeker" both the above values will be returned?
Thanks.

and I have several queres using the same table. I was trying to add 2 columns and fields to my 1 querie. I do not use program much but I have it for my cattle. SO I was clicking around. Went to Table and went to add the field.I changed my Primary Key field then realized I should not have done that.I changed it back to "ID" and "Number" and added my fields. THEN I went to the one querie and added my columns and fields.However NOW the one querie I messed with has 30,888 rows as it just repeats the 20 or so rows over and over .The other queries do not and they use some of the same data "ROWS" from the table

I have been successfully using the following statement in Access 2010 to retrieve data from a large csv relational database:
SELECT [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM
FROM 1995_1 INNER JOIN 1995_2 ON [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM = [1995_2].RPT_REC_NUM
GROUP BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_1].PRVDR_NUM, [1995_2].WKSHT_CD, [1995_2].LINE_NUM, [1995_2].CLMN_NUM, [1995_2].ITM_VAL_NUM
HAVING ((([1995_2].WKSHT_CD)="A000000") AND (Not ([1995_2].LINE_NUM)="09500") AND (([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0100" Or ([1995_2].CLMN_NUM)="0200"))
ORDER BY [1995_1].RPT_REC_NUM, [1995_2].LINE_NUM;
This query returns one long column of line numbers (LINE_NUM) representing the itemized salary (CLMN 0100) and non-salary expenses (CLMN 0200) and a total for each of the organizations represented in the data base. My question is: is it possible to modify the query so that it returns only organizations whose data passes that following test that checks to see if the itemized line numbers 00100 to 10099 equal the total for each organizations line 10100: SUM(LINE_NUM 00100:10099)=SUM(LINE_NUM 10100:10100).
I have tried several times to upload a sample file but have been prevented from doing so because of a missing security token. I have communicated this to the administrator.

I have a table that has a date column. I am assigning one group of students a test date of 4/29 and another group 4/30. I don't want access to change the column or ask for a parameter during the query, but no matter what I do, it keeps asking me for a parameter. I just want it to use the data that is already in the column.
I tried changing the column name in Excel to DOT from Date. That didn't work.I also tried changing the column to text, so that it wouldn't be a "date." That didn't work.

I have a table in Access 2010 and in one field i have multiple records of the same data as in the next field it has unique data for example:
NameColour
CarBlue
CarGreen
CarYellow
BusOrange
BusPurple
BusRed
I am trying to run a query which will effectively group up the "Name" field and combine the "colour" field against the name using a ";". so it would look like this:
NameColour
CarBlue;Green;Yellow

I have multiple queries that I need to have filered by the same parameter (Client). There is a list of clients that receive this report (the report has a pre-made template with multiple tabs, hence the multiple queries).
Currently the user of the database has to filter the exported excel file for each client re-save and email basied on the client. The above is done when the user pushes the specified button on a form (which just says run report a on it).
I am trying to figure out how the write a code so that a parameter (or table if that would work better) pulls the first record of the Client query to filter the other queries being run. Then to loop that process with the second record and so on through the Client query until all the clients have had the report run for them.
Attached are the current VBA being used and the current SQL for the first query that needs the parameter value added.

It is possible to create a parameter query in Access that will search for records that match the parameter entered by the user AND contain all other records that have that value plus other text.
For instance you may want Access to return all records that begin with the letter Q.
To do this you need to enter the following expression into the criteria row:
Like [Find records beginning with:] & "*" Or Is Null
The user can enter a Q and the criteria concatenates the wildcard character * to this parameter value, to find all text strings that begin with a Q.
By also using Or Is Null in the criteria the user can enter a blank value into the parameter query to return all records, even if this field is blank.
But how do I search if i want all the records with John anywhere in the field???

I have a query where I want to use a combo box in the parameter. However, its not working.
SELECT Call_Details.Emp_ID, Call_Details.[Call Status]
FROM Call_Details
WHERE (((Call_Details.Emp_ID)=[Forms]![TTY_ID]![TTY_ID]));
I get this in the Parameter Value Dialoge
Forms!TTY_ID!TTY_ID
Should I be entering this in the criteria field at all? Do I have to build an event to make this work?

I have a query that checks a table where there's a field that only has numbers from 0 to 100 (a grade), let's call that field "average" (note, the values 0 to 100 are actual numeric values, not percentages)
here's the problem:
when I filter the query using a parameter like <[value] on the average field, the query does show the expected records that have an average value that is less than the value that I input when prompted... except that it also includes the records on which the average field is 100 ... ... for some uknown reason.
to clarify:it won't show anything over the imput value, it just shows anything under the value I imput (good) and anything that has an average of 100
when I hard code the value for the parameter say <65 the query gives me the results expected (anything less than 65 in the average field) without including records with average equal to 100
some details:
the average field has this code: Average: CInt(Nz([Grade]))
the query looks like this:
SELECT [All Classes P1 Query].Class, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student ID], [All Classes P1 Query].[Full Name], [All Classes P1 Query].Subject, CInt(Nz([Grade])) AS Average, [All Classes P1 Query].Qualification, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student - Class - Grade].[Class Grading Period]
FROM [All Classes P1 Query]
GROUP BY [All Classes P1 Query].Class, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student ID], [All Classes P1 Query].[Full Name], [All Classes P1 Query].Subject, CInt(Nz([Grade])), [All Classes P1 Query].Qualification, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student - Class - Grade].[Class Grading Period]
HAVING (((CInt(Nz([Grade])))<[value]));

I need to apply a parameter to a query based on from combo box. I have added the ALL option to the combobox which that the user would select if they want to run the query to show all records;
E.g. Selecting ALL Countries would be the same as having no parameter or a wild card *
ALL Countries
UK
United States
Asia
Europe
I tried an iif statement like:
IIf([forms]![frmSelectReports].[location]="AllCountries",like"*",[forms]![frmSelectReports].[location])
but it didn't work...

I am using the Multi Search from that's available in the template forum, and currently it's working perfectly. I am trying to add one checkbox (chkIncludeManifests) to the form to do some filtering.
When the box is checked, I should search all records. When the box is unchecked, I should search only records with no manifest number [manifestnum].
I've tried setting up an IIF statement to filter out the values that are empty but it's not working.
