Queries :: Parameter In Field Row
May 21, 2013Is 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.

Queries :: Parameter Query To Get Field
Feb 7, 2014I 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.

Apr 25, 2014I 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.

Queries :: Make A Query Use Another Field For Parameter Info
Apr 10, 2013I have a query with a parameter query but what I need is the information to be passed onto another parameter query automatically.

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?
Queries :: Adding Test Field To Different Table And Try Different Query Using Like Parameter
Mar 20, 2013I'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.
Queries :: Form To Select Parameter - Causing New Field In Query Design
Jun 16, 2015I 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.

Queries :: Access Multiple Queries Run With Date Parameter
Jun 19, 2015I 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.
Queries :: Sub-queries With Text Box Based Parameter
Sep 18, 2014I'm trying to perform a DELETE query at run-time. The criteria for deleting records is somewhat complex due to various one-to-many dependancies between the tables, overlapping of date fields etc., so in order to restrict the DELETE to only those records which qualify, I've set up a load of smaller queries to produce the list of eligible records.There is only one parameter required - a 'CutOff' date which is arbitrarily chosen by the user and is available in a textbox control on an open form when the code is triggered.
Here is the main DELETE query :
Code:
DELETE DISTINCTROW [tblComments].*
FROM [tblComments]
INNER JOIN [qryCommentsToPurge]
ON [tblComments].[CommentID] = [qryCommentsToPurge].[CommentID]
WHERE [tblComments].[CommentID] = [qryCommentsToPurge].[CommentID]
I've put qryCommentsToPurge and all the cascading sub-queries below - have highlighted in red where the parameter value is required (it is used in the queries to identify the records which must be retained, i.e. not deleted)Each of the individual sub-queries works fine and correctly (they return the correct population of records that they were designed to)If I run the sub-queries manually, I am prompted to provide the CutOff date, as you would expect - and the recordset returned in each case is correct for that date.
If, however, I run the DELETE at run-time (with the form containing that textbox open and containing a valid date value) I get a 3061 error :Suggesting that the queries can't pull the parameter value from the textbox on the form. But I've stuck a watch in the debugger on [Forms]![frmArchive]![txtCutOffDate] and I'm getting the correct date value? The form is open and available at the time.So why can't the query see it? I use these kinds of control references elsewhere in other queries and they work fine. I don't understand why it's a problem here?
Code:
SELECT [tblComments].*
FROM [tblComments]
INNER JOIN [qryIssuesToPurge]
ON [tblComments].[IssueID] = [qryIssuesToPurge].[IssueID]
ORDER BY [tblComments].[CommentID];
[code]...
Parameter Queries Vs Parametrized Queries
Nov 5, 2004I have been asked to set up a parameterized query using 4 fields (ID Number, Surname, Christian Name and Treating Dr/s). When I search Microsoft On-line under parameterized queries it gives a tutorial which basically set out a simple query with "prompt" parameters in the Criteria field. When I search under the Access Help it gives me a totally different explanation - ie. setting up a cross-tab query first and then defining parameters. Is this a loose use of terminology or is there indeed a difference. Help please!

Jun 29, 2007Is there a way to label a parameter in a query?
I need to enter a start date for a query - the parameter - and the end date is always six months later.
Currently, I use;
Between [Enter Start date:] And [Enter End date:], but this is not idiot-proofed.
How can I make the second parameter be a calculation based upon the first; i.e., [First Param] + 180 days?
Thanx for any help!
Parameter Queries
Nov 15, 2007Hi there.
I am looking to rationalise some of the queries I have in my access application.
Let's say I have two forms that query the same table based on a value they have in a combo box.
Currently I would have a separate query for each form and set the criteria to the name of the control on the respective form.
My question is whether I can use just 1 parameter query and use this for both forms, passing the necessary criteria - similar to how you would with an SQL Server stored procedure.
I have done this in the past programatically but wondered whether it is possible to do this within the GUI?
One solution is to not have any criteria in my query and then define an SQL statement in the rowsource of my form/control that queries my original query i.e.:
"SELECT FirstName, LastName from Qry_Customers WHERE QryCustomers.CustomerID = ????"
This works but it not as easy to maintain as having separate queries (same reason why I prefer to use stored procedures rather than definining my SQL statements within my code)
Also are there any negative performance impacts in defining the rowsource in this way (opposed to just setting to an existing Table/Query)?
Thanks,

Date Parameter Queries
Jan 9, 2006Hi everybody,
I have a report that is based on an underlying query.At the query level,I
want to define parameters of date data type so that records to be displayed
should fall between DateA and DateB. ie Between[Enter Date A:] And [Enter Date B:].
I want the DAteA and DateB to be only days and Months of a year.
Say my DateA = 01 Jan 06 and my DateB = 31 Dec. 06
But I want only the Parameter to be Between[Enter day and Month A:] And [Enter day and Month B:].
How can I write a query with the two parameter values?
Thank you

Multiply Parameter Queries!
Apr 13, 2007i have a Query where i have Criteria for two fields as the following:
Field :Date of Incident
Crirteria: [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboStartDate] And [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboEndDate]
Field: StudentSurname
Criteria: [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![Combo0]
Occasionally, staff may just want all incidents (records) to be shown for the selected StudentSurname and so, just select the surname and leave the date fields blank.
i tried the following:
Field :Date of Incident
Crirteria: [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboStartDate] And [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboEndDate]
Or: [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboStartDate] Is Null And [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![cboEndDate] Is Null
Field: StudentSurname
Criteria: [Forms]![frmSearchStudent&Date]![Combo0]
then when i tested this by leaving the date fields blank and selecting a valid student surname it simply returned all incidents (records) for ALL students not the selected one.
is it possible to achieve this? if so, could someone please help!
Parameter Queries Using Multiple Between....And
May 24, 2007I 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.

Queries :: Don't Want Parameter In Query
Apr 25, 2013I 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.
Queries :: Parameter Value Against A If Statement
May 15, 2013 This statement returns a "date" each time the event occurs. I want to have a parameter between [Start Date] and [End Date] so I can pull events for a specified date range. I have tried this "Expr [EventDate]" Between [start date] And [end date] but it returns "null" results. I am using access 2010
EventDate: IIf([tblEventException].[EventID] Is Null,IIf(([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodTypeID] Is Null) Or ([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodFreq] Is Null) Or ([qryEventCartesian].[InstanceID] Is Null),[qryEventCartesian].[EventStart],DateAdd([qryEventCartesian].[PeriodTypeID],[qryEventCartesian].[InstanceID]*[qryEventCartesian].[PeriodFreq],[qryEventCartesian].[EventStart])),IIf([tblEventException].[IsCanned],Null,[tblEventException].[InstanceDate]))
Queries :: Stop Parameter Value Box
May 29, 2015I have a query that retrieves a list of all "Open" issues/projects that I'm working on. I've added a couple of columns in the query to calculate the age of each project (comparing Now() to Start Date), and using a comparison between the last time I updated the project to Now().
The problem I'm having is that the second calculation is based on the first calculation. As a result, the second calculation causes prompt box "Enter Value Parameter" to pop open whenever I open the form based on this query.
I would like to know how can I open this form without the prompt box popping up?
Parameter In Queries - Acess 2002
Feb 7, 2006I have upto 10 queries which in turn produces 10 reports. Each query has a 'current_year' parameter input by user. Storing 'current_year' value in table and accessing it in queries was an option which was discarded because of the possibility of inner queries using 'current_year' value from a table could slow down the query.

Customizing Access Parameter Queries
Apr 7, 2006Hi
I wonder if anyone could re-orientate me and put me in the correct direction regarding the above subject. Without wittling on too much what I,ve been basically trying to do is to get a query that I've made, derive its criteria from a form that has 3 combo boxes on it allowing a user to select varying options. I have been using a forum thread which described the process in more detail and whilst I,ve followed it to the letter the end result that I get
an annoying message "The expression On Click event that you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occured while MS Access was communicating with the OLE server or Active X control. It goes onto say that the expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user defined function, or [Event Procedure].There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro". The thread took me to www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut08.htm and it is on this site that I have been trying in vain to come up with a matching result. Am I going mad or is there someting on their tutorial that is mis-leading me! I am desperately trying to adminster some 'self help' and to use the forum threads but I am still at a loss as to what to do next. Could some kind person please help...
