I want to add a parameter to a query that lets the user enter a number to filter on the 'Top Values' section of the query.
I.E the query shows sales by product, the user enters 50 and it shows the top 50 records.
I have this query that finds people based on a given id number that they own. The ID number is in the format of (0000-0000) The tables have input masks so that when entering the ID number all the user has to worry about is entering the numbers. I have a report for that shows every customer in the database and i want to be able to copy and paste the (0000-0000) portion of the ID number but the query is only able to find customers by (00000000) format is there a way that i can get the query prompt to ignore the dash in between the numbers or would it be easier to remove the input mask and enter everything manually?

View 11 Replies View Relatedit also prompts twice when i try printing or try to save the current page as a pdf and also when i switch record? i think its a problem with the subform as it always is trying to fetch data. would there be a way to make it so that the subform and the form are linked so that the parameter query prompts once and the information stays there rather then having to prompt again when printing or saving as pdf?Two more things - on my total value box i wish to be able to always show 2 decimal places
The code already in place is :
Net : =Sum([TotalValue])
VAT: =Sum([TotalValue])*0.2
Gross: =[Text8]+[Text10]
(Net is Text8 and VAT is Text10)
i have already specified that the decimal place value is 2 instead of auto but it still doesnt work - if the number is a whole number i still wish to see .00 at the end of the field.One last thing - Would their be a way to carry over the information from my delivery note to my invoice note? which would save a lot of time retyping the parameter query.
I have a field that is giving me the number of business days between a period of time and then I want to subtract that number - the person's PTO time to see the actual days they were available...when I simply type the number in (see below) it works great but I want to set up a prompt that will ask me how many PTO Days to calculate as it will be different for each person I am quering...is this possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a table of data going back to 2007 that needs to be looked at on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. I am able to filter the data when running a normal query by using
Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
in the Criteria section of the Date field. I now need to apply this same idea to a crosstab query. My current set up is:
[Gender]- Group By / Row Heading
[Plan Type]- Group By / Column Heading
[Pmt Amt]- Sum / Value
[Date]- Where / Criteria = Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
I am getting an error message that says:"The Microsoft Office Access database engine does not recognize '[Start Date]' as a valid field name or expression."Am I setting something up incorrectly or is it impossible to use input prompts in a crosstab query like this?
I had an issue with writing LIKE statements in query criteria yesterday [URL]....
The answer they gave worked perfectly when I only used a single table in the query. But as soon as I did an INNER JOIN with two other tables, now I get parameter value prompts when I open frmSearch, and instead of seeing ALL my records when the controls are left null, I get only the first record in the table.
Here's the SQL of the query, can you point out what I messed up? NOTE that this SQL was 'written' by Access.. as I used the Query builder to set all the 'Like or Is Null' statements, then clicked SQL and sorta formatted the code so I can see what I'm looking at (instead of superthick wall-o-code):
Code:
SELECT tblPeople.name, tblPeople.num
FROM (tblPeople INNER JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.name = tblAddresses.name)
INNER JOIN tblPets ON tblPeople.name = tblPets.name
[code]....
Basically, this is a searchable database of participants in a pet-adoption program, along with the participants' pets history and address history (hence the linked tables as opposed to additional columns in one single table for pets and addresses... there are more than one in some cases). The frmSearch allows a person to run quick searches based upon ANY item in the database, such as name, pets, addresses, pet age, pet type, county of residence, etc. I need to be able to pick ANY field on frmSearch and type a value, and have the qrySearch return records for ANY record's related column wherein any part of it matches what I typed.
The statements as written worked PERFECTLY right up until I added the INNER JOIN. Now I get a set of parameter value prompts for every field on frmSearch that's referenced in the SQL for EACH table I linked to tblPeople, and if I leave everything null and click Search, I want to see EVERY person, but I'm only seeing the very FIRST person in tblPeople.
Hi All,
I am hoping to create form that will prompt the user to enter default values for certain fields ie Week No and WB Date before allowing any data to be input into the form.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary
I have a query, and one of the fields has a prompt for user input. Is there a way for the prompt to take multiple values?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Grape Fruit
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
A789 Carrot Vegetable
A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
I am using the quesy criteria "Like "*" & [Please Enter the subject (Or part of it)] & "*""
I was just wondering if there is any way to set this up so that the one prompt box searches 2 different fields.
Ok, so now this is where it's getting more complicated... (though I guess this is where you guys usually start)
When you have a query, and you type in your inputbox thingy like so:
http://reenen.fateback.com/image.jpg
PeriodEnd: [Enter period end date dd/mm/yyyy: ]
And you can have multiple, then it will prompt you for several of them.
Now this is not very tidy, so I'd rather do it on a form. How can I display the form as the query/report runs, and insert the values entered into the form as the inputs into my variables? (This case PeriodEnd)

Grrr... I can't get the image to display.
I have a form using a query as a control source so that is prompts the user for a parameter when they open the form.
I also have a listbox that is calling the same query.
The issue I am having is when I open the form it will prompt me twice to enter the same parameter.
Tables:
tblship
tblconsignee
tblbill
tblinvoicedetails
Query
qinv
Form
frminvoice
When the user enters the invoice number it populates the ship, consignee, billing address information. I have the list box to display line items for that invoice.
Currently I just have them enter the invoice number twice.
Is there a way I can take the user input and apply it to my other query?
Is it possible to put a combo box with a drop down list in the Enter Parameter Values of an update query so that the user selects from the list instead of typing the required value?

:confused: I have to build a query to do the following
my table consists of 7 fields
cg
price
gross
open
IM
state
sdate
I want to build a query that will prompt the user for 3 of those fields:
price , gross , IM
BUT:confused: when prompted I want the user to have the capability of changing the operators ie: > , < , = etc.
one time they may want
price > 100000.00 , Gross = 50000.00 , IM < 8
the next time they run it they may want:
price < 50000.00 Gross > 45000.00 IM = 4.5
Is this possible
Normally I would run a query like using 'CurrentDb.Execute' so that no user prompt occurs, but how do I avoid prompts when I need to run an update query?.
I'm using DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_UpdatePW" with no joy!
I have a database called Tables.mdb with a Make Table Query called Qmak_Tables that I want to run nightly.
I have set up a Scheduled Task to run Tables.mdb every night. I have created a Form that loads on start-up. I have created a Macro that runs the Make Table query when the form loads. I have also de-selected the confirm record changes/document deletions/action selections in Tools > Options > Edit/Find menu so the query won’t be stopped by a prompt that needs manual input. Here’s the catch:
After the query runs, it displays the prompt, “The existing table will be deleted. Do you want to continue?” How do I disable this prompt so my task can continue to run?
Query Date Field
Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter End Date]
Run and enter 07/01/2014 and 06/30/2015
The return one record dated 07/01/2014
Run again enter 07/01/2014 and 12/31/2014
Return all records between those dates.
when I put in dates for 2014 to 2015 it does not return all records between those dates only the records for the beginning date, is there something I am missing asking for records from one year to another?
I have a couple of questions which are sort of related. They both revolve around Parameters with a Query/Report.
Here is a bit of background. The source Table is formatted in a way similar to this:
Code--Account#--Expense Description--Jan--Feb...
When running the Query, and associated Report, the user is prompted to input an Account# via a Parameter that I set up. The dialog box pops up with the word "Account#" and a box for the user to enter by what account that they want to restrict the Report. [Question 1] - Is there a way to make this dialog box contain a drop-down box with a list of predetermined accounts instead of the aforementioned entering of an account number? If not via this dialog box, is there another way?
Also, multiple accounts roll up into a single P&L line item. For example, let's say that accounts 1234 and 5678 both make up "Equipment". [Question 2] - Is there a way to run the Report in such a way to return all accounts which roll into a line item? I want to have the ability to run by either an individual account or the P&L line in total.
I have a table Pmt in Ms Access with following information:
Table Pmt
Cust no Inv no T no Date Amt
123 ABC T1 20110131 1000
123 ABC T2 20130228 1000
123 ABC T3 20130331 1000
789 XYZ A1 20130131 2000
789 XYZ A2 20130228 2000
Fields "Cust no", "Inv no" and "T no" are in Text format, whereas "Date" and "Amt" are in Number.
My question: how can I concatenate row values using a query. The query results that I wanted are as follows:
Cust no Inv no T no Date Amt
123 ABC T1, T2, T3 20130131, 20130228, 20130331 3000
789 XYZ A1, A2 20130131, 20130228 4000

I this is a simplifed version a saved query called "qryTest"
PARAMETERS [gUserID] Long;
SELECT [Id],'Complaint' AS IncidentType FROM tblComplaints WHERE tblComplaints.[Id] IN (Select Incident_ID from tblNotification where Dept_ID IN (Select Dept_ID from tblUserDepts Where User_Id = [gUserID] ) AND Incident_Type = 'Complaint');
UNION ALL SELECT [Id],'Fall' AS IncidentType, FROM tblFalls tblFalls.[Id] IN (Select Incident_ID from tblNotification where Dept_ID IN (Select Dept_ID from tblUserDepts Where User_Id = [gUserID] ) AND Incident_Type = 'Fall');
how to i call the result from code or from the query manager and include the parameter so there is no prompt that comes up?
like
Me.ListNew.RowSource = "qryTest " & gUserID &";"
or
Select * from qryTest , 31 - where 31 is the value fed to the parameter
??? does anyone know? I know it can be called in APS like this:
Dim Conn
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open strConn ' strconn is my connection string
set rsP=createobject("adodb.recordset")
conn.qryTest 31
.....
I can't believe I can't do it from the query string!
Heeeellpppp!
I have created a query that counts the AppSizerPerUD for every User Drive (UserDriveID). Now I want to assign these values to the other query (UserDrive Usage) for every UserDriveID. So I want to create a new column in the UserDriveUsage query that will contain the AppSizePerUD. In this case in the first two rows must be 23.6, then one row 18.38, the third one 45,39 etc.I need something like a VLOOKUP in Excel. I have tried DLOOKUP but probably I am not uisng it correctly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that has a list of tasks and checkboxes attached to them to be checked once the task is completed. I need to run a query on the table that will only bring me back the tasks with a completion that is false.
Everything that I read online indicates that this is a difficult task for access. Maybe I can accomplish this in SQL view instead of design? If I put false is all of the yes/no fields, the query brings back nothing.
I am trying to create a query to append new records from my NEW database into my old excel database.....
The old DB has 4-5 extra tabs that the NEW database does not have so when I append, in those extra columns the new database will just have blank records since the column doesn't exist.
Usually I do a append query in design view. but sometimes it gets funny because it creates duplicates...
How would I go about it, so its quicker and persistent like creating a macro excel.
I have a query which uses values in two hidden text boxes, in order to populate a sub form.Unfortunately some times the data in the text box contains brackets within it as follows:
'120/60 ZR17 (55W)'
When this occurs the query returns no data, even though records with a matching code exists in the table I am working with where Speed is 'FR'.
Code:
WHERE (((stockdyn.SPEED)="FR") AND ((stockdyn.DESCRIPN) Like '*' & [forms]![frmSearch]![Text10] & '*'))
How can I get around this, as surely if I used quote marks it would take "[forms]![frmSearch]![Text10]" as the value I am searching for.
