Queries :: Multiple Genre Parameter Query In Movie Database
Feb 3, 2015
I have over 800 films which I've converted from DVD to iTunes format. I have added them to iTunes and extracted the data to Excel. From Excel, I have imported the data into MS Access.
So, now I have a movie database of my films. See attached fields for all tables and the Relationships.
As you can see, I have created a separate Genre table as this will be my main search parameters.
I can run a simple query which returns the search results for example 'Comedy'. My problem is, I am wanting to do a search for films with for example 'Comedy' and 'Drama'. Whichever way I try this, I don't get the right answer. I either seem to get duplicate records or no results returned.
I attach the query I am running which works for 1 Genre only!
I am not sure whether I have some fundamental problems with it and it's better to start from scratch?! I have the raw data from Excel which I could use to start again.

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 created a query so that two fields have a range in them i.e.
One Field called "Price"
There are two text boxes on the seach form called "price1" and "price2"
The query reads
Between [price1] And [price2]
A second field called "Date Ordered"
There are two text boxes on the search form called "date1" and "date2"
Field called "Date Ordered"
Between [date1] And date2]
I have used the AND operator to join the first and second range. The user will fill in the criteria from a form with text boxes. This form is unbound but as soon as they click on the Search button, it will open up the query with the parameters in as above.
However, if the user were to type in a price but not a date the query shows no results. Results are only shown if a price and a date are inputted.
The OR operator will work but it is not what we need. We need to show results if a price is entered but not a date and vice versa. The fields are coming from one table.
Please can anyone advise? The database is a library management system so the price and date are the price of any books and the date that the book was ordered.
Thank you in advance for any help or advise.

Is there a way to have one parameter in a query effect multiple fields?I have a table that details service calls on our equipment. There are columns in that table for each part of the equipment that get marked, depending on what needed serviced (i.e. software, printer, keypad, monitor, etc). I would like to be able to run a query that will show all the service calls where one part of the equipment was serviced multiple times without have to enter multiple parameters or write a union query (there would need to be 11 unions or 11 parameters for each part to be captured). For example, I would want to know how many pieces of equipment had 3 or more service calls on their software. I want to run the query without having to say that I don't care how many service calls were performed on the printer, monitor, or keypad. I would like to be able to say "Software >3" and have the query run on that information.

I am currently working on a project to develop an access database to manage a roster of calls to clients on a daily basis based on two general criteria:
1. Pre-determined days selected by the client. (e.g. Call Mon, Wed, Fri only. This can change as client requirements change.)
2. Ad-hoc changes based on the client’s circumstances. (e.g. No call from 27/7/2015 to 29/7/ 2015)
I have managed to successfully deal with the second of these with the following expression in a query:
CallToday?: IIf((Date()>=[NoCallFrom] And Date()<=[NoCallTo]),"No","Yes")
However dealing with the first is a little more difficult to work out. I have tried a multivalue lookup field with multiple days selectable, but constructing an IIF query to deal with these multiple values is proving quite a challenge.
I am thinking of using a table with days of the week and a junction table to allow the multi-selection, but I may need constructing the relationships and the query here.

I have a question where I need to effectively invert the results of a select query.
I have multiple tables in the database, but the 2 I'm looking at are TBL.Trip and TBL.TripDiary
A trip is logged in the trip table, and then an operator logs a diary entry against the trip. One of the options that the operator selects is when they receive an email back from the traveller, this is logged as a diary entry.
I need the query to look at the DIARY_Action field and select all records in the TBL.Trip that DO NOT CONTAIN an entry for Diary Action "4".
I can produce a select query that gives me the results to see all trips that HAVE had a response, with a simple IS LIKE "4" query in the action field.
If I change this to IS NOT LIKE "4", I get the results that I need, but duplication due to the various other "diary" entries in the table".
I simply need the inverse of the IS LIKE query but cannot see how to remove the duplicates?

I have created a db with 10 linked tables from 10 db's.
I then build 10 queries associated to these linked tables.
The 10 queries filter data by start date and end date.
The data generated from each query is then exported to excel (each query has its own sheet in the woorkbook).
Dim Output_Path_And_File As String
Output_Path_And_File = "C:" & "Production Labor hrs Querie.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs 3-WAY", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-ACV", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-EAP", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-EVMV", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-PFE", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-propor", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-SEGR", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-TBO", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-VCA", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-VFS", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
How can I set these queries up by typing the start date and end date only once rather than 10 times?
Thank you

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?

i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)

Hi
Apreciate your help on this.
I have a stock control db and when goods are recieved they could have a different references on them e.g. our internal ref, the purchase order ref etc.
I would like to run a query that firsts ask what criteria i want to use to run the query e.g use the int ref or the PO nr. I can set up a simple parameter query in one field but can not find a solution for the db asking what field i want to use before you put in the reference?
many thanks

Hey all,
I think this is a simple fix but I am very rusty on access so I can't figure it out, even after a long haul on search engines!
Problem:
I have a single form in my db. This form has a series of drop down menus, check boxes etc etc allowing the user to select as much information they want to query against!
My end goal is to be able to submit this form, a report is opened and relevant records are shown depending on what options the user has selected.
I have attempted to use a query to acheive this, by simply using:
[Forms]![frm_stats]![cbo_location] Like [Forms]![frm_stats]![cbo_location] Is Null....which I was told would work, i.e. expecting the query to miss the form fields that were not selected....But no, the query only returns recrds based on my first combo box on my form and ignores the rest.
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts? - I don't really want to go down the route of using vba and checking each field in turn!!!!
Thanks a bunch.

Hi everyone,
I use MSAccess2003 (win xp sp2) at work. I thought I knew how to create tables, quering and Filtering... Which is the reason I love access over Excel. I never this "problem" before.
(Btw, I am just a "Access basic user." I created a little database that it turned out to be more useful that I ever thought.)
Oops, this websited does not accept links!
ok, let's try this way
------------------
Name- desigation (7 items, two colum query)
jacob D
jacob D
rick
jacob (null)
jacob (null)
jacob D
Lisa
------------------
If I "filter by selection" on "jacob" I get:
jacob D
jacob D
jacob (null)
jacob (null)
jacob D
------------------
If I "Filter Excluding Seletion" on "D," I should get:
jacob (null)
jacob (null)
------------------
Instead I get nothing, not items at all.
Very basic question but it's driving me crazy.
TIA
Rique

With referential integrity enforced, is it possible to use append query to append to multiple tables based on only one parameter that applies to only one table. If so, please enlighten me with a detailed explanation.

My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.
I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.
HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.
The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]
When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".

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'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

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 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 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.

In Access 2003 I create a query which for one field was link to a value on a form.
Now I have to duplicate this form and instead to duplicate this query I wanted to use a parameter inside this query for one field and then via VBA call this query and give a value for this parameter.
My query name is: Query_Parameter
Fields inside: "Asset_Name" and "Isin"
Parameter is under the "Isin" field: [Look_Isin]
My VBA code is:
Sub Test_Call_ISIN()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
'Get the parameter query
[Code] ....
When I run the code nothing happen ?
