I'm trying to run about 300 update statements and keep getting a syntax error of missing operator... what could be wrong?
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '351174' where SSN = '136861387'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '350960' where SSN = '138885740'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '350817' where SSN = '140082154'
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '351013' where SSN = '145766662'
I'm using the following for a field in a query:
ITINERANT: IIf([Day and Time1] Is Not Null,[Day and Time1],IIf([Day and Time2] Is Not Null,[Day and Time2],IFF([Day and Time 3] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 3],IFF([Day and Time 4] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 4],IFF([Day and Time 5] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 5]," ")))))
I'm getting the error message: Syntax error (missing operator).
I'm not very good at using the IIF statement.
I have 5 concatenated fields that may or may not have info.
I want to display all of the info or if blank; show nothing in the one field.
Also, would I be able to have a return after each of the 5 concatenated fields?Not sure how to do that in this statement?
I am trying to get a count of the unique customers in an access 2010 database
After some research it seems i should be using
SELECT Count(Distinct [Customer]) FROM [tblMain];
But when i use this i get
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Count(Distinct Customer)'.
I have tried leaving out the square brackets but this does not work....
I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.
I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.
When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):
"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".
This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:
Conditions:
<>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX"
Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*"
[Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]
Calculated Field:
Audio Ref Guide: IIf(Left$(Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2),1)<>"_","?",Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2))
I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.
I am trying to get Average If function to access sql. I have columns Period and Costs_Per_Capita, result should be like like this:
Costs_Per_Capita Period CALCULATED_Period_Avg_Costs
15,505 1 15976.27582
16,368 1 15976.27582
16,037 1 15976.27582
15,995 1 15976.27582
15,000 2 16000
17,000 2 16000
I tried:
SELECT Costs.Costs_Per_Capita, Costs.Period
IIF (Period = 1, (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 1),
(Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 2)
AS result
FROM Costs;
But get "syntax error (missing operator) in a query expression ..."
Below is the code that concatenates a pathway ('c:asset_captureimages) and a column value (c:asset_captureimages)to populate another column ([Carriageway].[Hotlink])
------------------------------------------------------------
Function Update_Image()
For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If tbl.Name = "Carriageway" Then
strsql1 = "[" & tbl.Name & "]" & ".[hotlink]"
strsql2 = "[" & tbl.Name & "]" & ".[position]"
'**** THE LINE BELOW WORKS****
'CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Carriageway SET [Carriageway].[Hotlink] = 'c:asset_captureimages' & [carriageway].[position]"
'**** THE LINE DOESN'T WORK WHEN STRING VALUE REPLACES COLUMN****
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Carriageway SET [Carriageway].[Hotlink] = 'c:asset_captureimages'" & strsql2
End If
Next
End Function
--------------------------------------------------------
The module works perfectly when the column value is hardcoded as [carriageway].[position] but when a string is replaced as strsql2 then the error message "Run Time Error 3075 Syntax Error (Missing Operator) in Query Expression" is generated.
Any ideas gratefully received what seems a simple problem that is causing significant swearing and hair loss.
Thanks

Hi, can anyone help ? I have 2 tables 1 called orderforminput and another called customerdetails. If i run the following sql statment on the orderforminput table it works just great.
"SELECT orderforminput.* FROM orderforminput " & _
"WHERE orderforminput.[Customer] " & strCustomer & _
strCustomerRefCondition & "orderforminput.[Customer Ref] " & strCustomerRef & _
strDoorNumCondition & "orderforminput.[Door Num] " & strDoorNum & ";"
With this code i am trying to retrieve customer name and address from the second table and conbine the results in a query called invoicequery. I keep getting syntax error in query missin operator in query expression. I am new to access and sql can any one shed some lite PLEASE
"SELECT orderforminput.*, CustomerDetails.* FROM orderforminput INNER JOIN CustomerDetails ON orderforminput.Customer = CustomerDetails.Company" & _
"WHERE orderforminput.[Customer] " & strCustomer & _
strCustomerRefCondition & "orderforminput.[Customer Ref] " & strCustomerRef & _
strDoorNumCondition & "orderforminput.[Door Num] " & strDoorNum & ";"

I have an asp page which modifies articles in my access database.
I added a field in the db called "Blocco" which is a checkbox field.
The code (working) which the page used before was (I'm copying just the part that modified will cause the problem):
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", " If FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End IfSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
After adding a radio type field in the form called Blocco (with yes or no values, working like the existing field "Bozza") I've modified the code adding something to update the db:
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", "If FBlocco = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = False "End ifIf FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End ifSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
The page itself is loaded with no errors but when the form takes action I get this:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'True Articoli.Bozza = False'.
why? I've just used the same code that worked with the field "Bozza" (which is a checkbox field too)

I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
Code:
Dim AppendUsers As String
AppendUsers = "INSERT INTO tblPermissions ( empid )" & _
"SELECT tblEmployee.empid" & _
"FROM tblEmployee LEFT JOIN tblPermissions ON tblEmployee.[empid] = tblPermissions.[empID]" & _
"WHERE (((tblPermissions.empID) Is Null) AND ((tblEmployee.active)=Yes) AND ((tblEmployee.inputname)=Yes));"
If MsgBox("This will search for new users with valid logins and add to the permissions table, do you wish to continue?", vbYesNo, "Append Users") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.RunSQL (AppendUsers)
I have a table where I have 5 columns, (BatteryL1, BatteryL2, BatteryR1, BatteryR2 and BatterySize).I want to update BatterySize, with a value if any one of the above listed columns contains a specific value using something like 'LIKE' in the query.
For example:

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a query.
Just for info, I export some table from SQL to access. The same query in SQL work fine but when I try in Access come out this error:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid'.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The query:
SELECT tbl_Style.STYLECODE, tbl_Info_1.Infodata AS [Fabric Type]
FROM tbl_Style INNER JOIN
tbl_Info ON tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN
tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid
I appreciate your help.

I'm trying to find a solution for this without success..I have this code:
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM Type WHERE Project_ID =" & Me.Project_ID & " & AND (Type = '" & Me.Txt_Type & "')"
and I'm getting this error message:Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'Project_ID = AND (Type = 'Webinar')'
I have a query that I just can't figure out. We are a facility that works on rail cars. We have over 200 cars in house at the moment and the database has a daily production report in it with the status of all of the cars.
I need a query that will pull out the "AAAA" and "XXXX" cars from the list only IF the cleaning field or the mechanical inspection or BOTH fields are blank.
I am trying to update and insert records with SQL statements. Below my code:
Select Case FirstGRV
Case "Y"
sql = "UPDATE Tbl_SellingPrices " & _
"SET SellingPrice = " & Me!Text2 & ", SellingPriceDateFrom = date(), SellingPriceDateTo = #" & Me!Text3 & "#" & _
"WHERE SellingPriceStockCode = Forms!Frm_GRV!GRVStockCode and SellingPriceDateFrom =#01-01-1900#;"
[Code] ....
My problem is I need to know if the execution of the SQL statement was successful or not. I use the RecordsAffected method, but it always returns 0, no matter what.
I've a nice formula which work the majority of the time, the only time this doesn't work is Bank Holidays. Is there a way to build on this:
>=Date()-IIf(Weekday(Date(),2)<2,4,2) And <=Date()-1
The above simply runs a report for the last working day, expect if today is a Monday then it runs Fri-Sun.
Im assuming if I know the dates of the Bank Holidays I could hardcode them into the beginning with multiple IIF statement followed by the one above??
I am trying to get the output of several nested IIF expressions to show in only one filed in the table created. The output needs to be captured in a table. I am staring with create table to get it to work before I go ahead and use the sql to update the original table (the table the data is from)
I can get each to run fine independently and the whole thing runs too, the issue is it wants to put each expression in a new column, thus it is forcing me to label the expression.
Can I change this to only output in one column or add some more sql to do so?
Here is the SQL (table and filed names have been changed to protect the innocent)
BTW, I cannot change the Table the data comes from, I am stuck with the single table structure (BOO).
************************************************** *************
SELECT TABLE1.ID,
IIf([TABLE1]![STAGE]="D",
IIf([TABLE1]![PROJ_ACTUAL_D_DATE] Is Not Null,"Tier 1",
IIf([TABLE1]![APPROVAL_D]="Y","Tier 2",

I'm trying to create a single, Update Query in Access 2007 that does all of these 3 things:
Update (skipping zero-length values)
Append
Automatically handle missing Fields without showing any "Enter Parameter Value" prompts.
I've managed to accomplish the 1st & 2nd items on my own, but I'm stumped on the 3rd. In essence, what I'm looking for is a way of telling Access to automatically use a zero-length/null value for any missing Field(s) the Query encounters, so long as it does not involve manually modifying the Table beforehand. Automation is key. And that's where you guys come in.
Attached, is a diagram of the desired results applied to a set of sample Tables. And here's the SQL code for the Update Query adjusted to work with those sample Tables:
Code:
UPDATE Table_1 RIGHT JOIN Table_2 ON Table_1.ID = Table_2.ID SET Table_1.ID = NZ([Table_2].[ID],[Table_1].[ID]), Table_1.Company = NZ([Table_2].[Company],[Table_1].[Company]), Table_1.Address = NZ([Table_2].[Address],[Table_1].[Address]), Table_1.Phone = NZ([Table_2].[Phone],[Table_1].[Phone]);
Hello again
Sorry, just posted this in reports, moved it now.
Could someone point me in the right direction please. I have seen a thread similar to this before but I can't find it now.
I have a query that is made up from 3 different queries.
These 3 queries show the stats totals in the last x weeks.
qry2Week (colleague stats from last 2 Weeks)
qry6Week (colleague stats from last 6 Weeks)
qry13Week (colleague stats from last 13 Weeks)
This query shows every day and also the above 3 queries are linked in.
qryAll (every day and 2, 6, 13week stats totals)
The problem is if there are no stats in the last 2 weeks no stats will show up at all.
If I take out the (is not null) from the individual queries I get duplicate lines in my main query (qryAll)
How do I show all the information without having duplicate lines.
Cheers
Kev.
