I have a query with a parameter query but what I need is the information to be passed onto another parameter query automatically.
I have a Field called ITEMID and ITEMIDFK
the criteria for ITEMID is [ENTER Item ID Number]
once entered I need ITEMIDFK to use the same information inserted into the first parameter is this possible?
Basically, I have a database table that is maintained every week. It is about e-mail account licenses for Office 365.
Each column represents a week of license data for every mailbox account which is about 10 000 plus users with the date as the field headers( something like "License information as of 06122013").
Basically, I have created 52 queries based on the license type I require to be calculated & I have a form created to control it. However, right now it is all output only as I have yet to create any user parameter to specify on any of the queries about the date I want
As I am currently unsure how to specify all the queries to use one field date header which I want the user to specify via drop down list in order to calculate all the licenses on this specific date.
For example, if I want to see the license information for 06/11/2013, I would choose "License as of 06112013" & it would then run all the queries based on the header specified earlier & output that information on the form.
Right now the queries are all configured as the "Select" type.
I have a table which has 8 fields. The task is to design a query which always shows the first two fields (or any other two specific fields) and any one of the remaining 6 fields based on the input from the user. I am using a simple form with combo boxes to get the choices from the user.

I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
I'm using Access 2003...I have a query that searches a parts table by description:
Like "*" & [Enter in Part Description to search] & "*"
I need to add another search to this query, I added another field to the parts table call manufacturer. I add this field to the above query and added this parameter to it:
Like [Enter in Manufacturer] & "*"
I then added a manufacturer to one of the fields for test purposes. For some odd reason this doesn't work. If I take out the manufacturer parameter and don't enter in anything into the part description the query returns all the records. When i type a description into the part description field the query returns the proper records. When I add back the manufacturer parameter and enter through both parameters only the one record returns showing the test record instead of all of them. If I put a part description in and enter through the manufacturer parameter no records show when they should.
I've tried adding a test field to a different table and tried a different query using the like parameter. The parameter works in a field already in the table but won't work with the new field I added. I've done compact and repair.
I have a query with multiple fields that is being run off of 3 parameters (linked for selection in a form). The problem is, I wanted to enable a select all feature, so I included a "Or ... Is Null" part in my criteria section, so that when nothing is selected, the query/report returns all records.
Okay so the problem is whenever I run the query with nothing selected for the parameter and then return to design view for the query, a new field has been created in the query design, titled with the expression I use to pull the parameter value from the form. This is frustrating because then that is causing errors in another report I run that pulls values from that query.
I'm trying to obtain all of the information in a text field for a query.
The user entered information and used a return (enter key) to enter information on a new line within the same field. The information after the return is not captured in the field in the query. Is there anyway I can capture all of this info?
Okay I have 2 tables and I used queries to filter and delete the info off those tables. Now I combined the 2 tables by using a query which is query 1. What I found was a few cells that are blank cells.
I tried creating another query based on query 1 from the 2 tables to try and delete it but it won't work. I tried everything and nothing seems to work. I can't filter the data since I am creating another query called query 3 to display the final results.
I have two tables:
tblSITE and tblUSID (joined by SITEID)
and I am trying to create a query which lists each site and the USID with the latest date in its ConstructionDate field (USID and ConstructionDate are both in tblUSID). If I omit the USID from the query and run a totals with MAX on the ConstructionDate field, I return what I would like to, but I want to add the PK (USID) of the record with the latest ConstructionDate for another query, and every way I attempt it the query returns multiple records per SiteID.
Ok I saw this posted up in the forum but it was not explained.
I have a Query which asks for a parameter before giving an output.
I have a report that uses this query to display the information.
Ok what I am trying to do is create a form that has a textbox and I enter the parameter's information in that textbox or textbox. How do I send the information to the query?
The reason for such a thing is people tend to not follow the set guidelines for putting stuff in a parameter box. So what I decided to do was set up a calendar form which a person has to physically choose the date from the calendar and this leaves no room for real error. My problem is I can get the calendar information to the textbox or textboxes but can't figure out how to code the button to send the textbox information to the query & parameters & report, etc...
Can someone please help me out of this situation? or point me to a starting point?
Non-techy IT type of question...
How to best setup a database (knowledgebase) for use in making various work place hardcopy and electronic intetacive version process checklists that may share some of the same info ?
Eg, checklists for a building dept for how to get permits for different types of buildings that may all require some of the same types of plans and permit application docs, but may also require other plans/docs specific to the particular type of building... but in order to update a requirement in the checklist/s only one database item would need to be changed in order to update all the checklists that include that common item.
Then to carry it one step further... to use the same database to update info publications that may have checklist type information in the narratives about the same building permit requirements.
Hope that makes sense.
Thoughts ?
Where else to look ?
Is it possible to have a parameter in the field row of a query? That way, the user could select the field they want to query against without going into the design view of the query.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have DB used for inventory for many different categories. I have a table and form for the following: Location, Printers, Pc's and many more.
What i am trying to accomplish is to have a advanced search form that will display how many pc's and there makes and model from selecting the location name or Cost center from a combo box.

I have parameters set in a query. This query generates a report. I want to have the parameter field the user enters show in the report. Example: I have Region set up as a parameter. The criteria in the query is Like "*" & [Region] & "*" The problem I'm having is in the report it only returns what the user enters in the parameter prompt.
For Example: If I type south it only shows south rather than south east or south central (which is the whole field), etc. on the report. It shows in the table generated by the query but not on the report. If I leave the parameter prompt blank it brings back all the records like it should but again leaves the "region" field on the report blank.
I am trying to create a query that ONLY shows me the total count of each combo box choice for one field. It sounds very easy and I'm sure it is but everything I try tells me I am using the wrong syntax, or requires me to have rows when I only want column totals.
I have a combo box with a dropdown of 10 common places that people travel to. I want the report to ONLY show the total number of people who chose place 1, place 2, place 3... etc. But I always have to do according to date or time or something. I want it to look like this
Place 1 Place 2 Place 3 Place 4
13............36.........3........77
So essentially there would only be one row. But access will not let me. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is this not possible?
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product
Type
Customer
Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
I've been using a SELECT INTO statement to import data from a linked text file into a temporary table in Access. Something along the lines of :
SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]
(There's an INNER JOIN in there and some Nz / CLng functions but just want to keep it simple...)
Now - I've just realised I also need to create a couple of extra 'dummy' fields in my temporary table (for later on in the show) and I need them to be Yes/No format (will set them to False at first, then run some separate queries later to update them)
I tried this :
SELECT [tblLink].[fld1] AS Field1,
[tblLink].[fld2] AS Field2,
[tblLink].[fld3] AS Field3,
False AS Field4,
False AS Field5
INTO [tblTemp]
FROM [tblLink]
But this sets Field4 and Field5 as Number fields, with each record given a value of 0. What syntax is required in the SQL to make these fields Yes/No rather than Number?
I can add to my make table query UDate: Date() that will add a populated field to the output table that has today's date in it.
I can also add something similar like this for example V_Num: [V_Number] and when ran, will prompt with a dialogue box to add some data, it will then create the table with that new field name and populated with the text from the dialogue box.
But how can I automate this to skip the dialogue box and just add it to the expression?
I have a table products with a field "id_product" and "total" (Total items in stock)
I have a query with the fields "id_product" and also the field "total in stock"
I want an update query to update the field 'total' in table 'products' with infos from that query
For each id-product in table products, replace the field total with the field 'total in stock' from the query
So I want to update a filed in a specific table with infos form another table.
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 created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?

I have set a parameter in a query on a number field.
When I run the query it lists all entries relating to the number I enter.
Once I have ran the query by either opening the query or clicking on the datasheet view when I am in design view, is there a way that I can re-run the query from the datasheet view with a new parameter without having to either close and re-open the query or go into the design view and click on datasheet view again?
Surely there must be a way.
I'd appreciate anybody's help on this.
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.
can i set a value in report as parameter in query
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt 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???
