Queries :: Include A Field Not Related Into A Query
Jul 10, 2015
How can I include a field from a table in to a query - that has no relationship?
For example...
The 'Despatch' field is in a seperate table called 'Product', because we despatch multiple products for any ONE order at different times, so it needs to be against the Product and not the full job itself.However, when I include the 'Product' table into the query and insert the 'Despatch' field into my query, and run it comes up with an error...
"The SQL Statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguouse outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a seperate query that performs the first join and then iclude that query in your SQL statement". Here's the current SQL statement
Code:
SELECT [Materials Requested].[Job No], [Materials/Orders].Total, Jobs.[Project Name], Product.Despatch
FROM Product, Orders INNER JOIN (((Customer RIGHT JOIN Jobs ON Customer.[Customer ID] = Jobs.[Customer ID]) INNER JOIN [Materials Requested] ON Jobs.[Job No] = [Materials Requested].[Job No]) INNER JOIN [Materials/Orders] ON [Materials Requested].[Materials Requested ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Materials Requested ID]) ON Orders.[Orders ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Orders ID];
Many sessions can have many employees - thus the joining table has been included.
When trying to delete an employee from the database using a form, I encounter the error:
The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'tblEmployeeSessions' includes related records
Is there a problem with my table relationship structure? Or is it 'correct' that as the employee is supervising a session he/she cannot be deleted as this would interfere and maybe mess up the session record?
I have a table with a yes/no field. It's linked to a form with a yes/no box, but the outcome I want is that if the form box is unchecked, the query returns all the "yes" records - which is trivial; however I want to return ALL the records if the form box is checked.
I have a report that is based off a query that has several hundred lines with values that I sum up. I also have another query that has manual adjustments. I would like to add the total adjustments for a particular customer to the end of the report and use it to calculate the final value.
for example: 1 20 2 10 3 07 Total for customer 37 Total manual adj 13 Total after adj 50
I dont want to include it in the original query because i dont have a value for every line of the query.
I am setting up a database to hold staff details, and would like a query to show each member of staff's total hours and FTE.
Staff name etc is in tblStaff Staff shift details are in tblShifts linked via staffID
tblShifts will contain details of the shift worked on each day of the week, but the majority of our staff work a standard shift - e.g 8-4, 9-5. Therefore what I wanted to do was in tblStaff set a field named shiftPattern to 1 2 3 or 4. 1 indicating a custom shift, and any other number indicating a set shift defined in a separate table.
The problem I have is that my query only returns people who have details in tblShifts - regardless of their shiftPattern value. If I enter a blank record in tblShifts it will do the above as intended.
In my query, I have several results that relate to the same PK overall, and I'd like to concatenate these records into one expression/one field in a form.
Currently my query looks like this;
As you can see, the BandPK/BandFK are repeated where the GenreFK/GenrePK are different. What I'd like to do is concatenate the column named Genres into one field so the BandFK/PK isn't repeated.
I have a table (tblrecords) with fields, entered by, recieved by and date and time,entered by and recieved by are both referenced in tblemployee.i want a query that will retrieve
fname, lname (of entered by from tblemployee), fname, lname (of recieved by from tbl employee) and the date and time from tblrecords)however i cant think how to do it with both names coming frm the same table?
I'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
I have a list of class sessions. To help with maintaining attendance, each session has its own roster. I just need to add a functionality so user can make sure the attendance roster is synchronized with the past sessions and future sessions in events of last minute additions/drop or updating names/contact infos. The sessions are related to themselves as below:
ClassID PreviousClassID 1 Null 2 1 3 2 4 Null 5 4
So therefore to propagate the changes into all sessions how would I instruct the query to look for each related ID then checks if it's also related...
I'm thinking I may have to use VBA to do what, but I hope that can be done with a append query.
Each month I use Access to import text files and export cleansed data to Excel.
The information contains (i.e. forecast data) that has 6 months of data. Each month, the data is rolled over to include the new month and delete the oldest month of data.
Is there a query(s) or module that can automate this process?
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?
if its possible to have a button that after clicking it, it doesn't show certain records. Reason being I have a "shows" for each month on our personal site and amazon, and we've been selling on those for about 2 years, and I have a "show" for each month. But, that quickly clutters up the list box. Any way to create a button the (after typing in the name) it doesnt show only those record(s)?
I have the following query, which I simplied to show only the WHERE clouse.
Code: WHERE ((([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode) Like "519" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="414" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="428" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="250" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="430" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="585" Or ([Using our own appt date].PrblDiagCode)="573"));
Is there any way to also include the ones with fractions? For example, a record can be 519.3. I find that the current code doesn't give me the ones with fractions. What needs to change in the query?
I am using Between Me.Firstdate and Me.Lastdate in a query. I thought that it would include both Firstdate and Lastdate in the range. But it appears that it does not. Is there a way to include Firstdate and Lastdate in the range of dates?
I gather that there is no way to include a scroll bar on a memo field in a form. What is the best workaround? The source is a mysql odbc table. It is set as medium text and comes into Access 2010 as a memo field. For a user coming to this field to read the material entered there, unless they click somewhere within the field, there isn't a scroll bar. It isn't obvious that that is what they need to do to see all of it. Is there any way to work around this limitation?
I have a table in Access 2010 containing the results of a survey. One of the fields in table is the actual quotes from customers who gave direct feedback. I have created a simple report containing all of the quotes. My manager would liek them included in a summary Word doc but wants quotation marks around every quote. It's too many to manually after the report is exported to Word. Is there a way to include quotation marks around the field in the report design view?
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I have written a user defined function that calculates the end of the current month. This I named EndOfThisMonth. It works well as a function. Now I would like to use it as date criteria to include in a query. The function is included as such EndOfThisMonth().
The field on which this function is to enter as a criteria is another calculated date function called Due.
When I run this query I get an error message saying Undefined Function 'EndOfThisMonth' in expression.
I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).
along with data in each row, i want to include the record number in the ouput of a query. is it possible?
once i run the query and view the ouput, i can see the standard access database record counter at the bottom or if i select a row, i can see the row number at the bottom.
how can i include that counter in each row of output from the query?
A new query I am building, after entering an expression, gave the " You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression.." error. The new query is based on and uses expressions from another query. The error message listed the expressions from the query upon which this query was based. Copying in all the fields referenced in the error message did not work.
Here is the SQL code, the offending expression in red:
SELECT [Test Grade Results].[Class Number], [Test Grade Results].StudentNumber, Count([Test Grade Results].[Test Number]) AS [CountOfTest Number], Avg([Test Grade Results].[41Grade]) AS AvgOf41Grade, Sum([Test Grade Results].Wghtd41) AS SumOfWghtd41, [GPA]=Sum([Test Grade Results]![Wghtd41])/[Test Grade Results]![CuumWeightDivisor] AS Expr1FROM [Test Grade Results] INNER JOIN [Test Parameters] ON [Test Grade Results].[Test Number] = [Test Parameters].TestNumberGROUP BY [Test Grade Results].[Class Number], [Test Grade Results].StudentNumber;
Wghtd41 is the expession that is included in the error message.
Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.
I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.
In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.
