I have a table that stores the criteria that the query is supposed to pull from so that when a user logs into my database, it reads that the person is part of a sepcific unit and then pulls that specific criteria and places it in a text box on a form. When they click a button on that form, it then opens the form that is connected to the query. The data type for the field I need criteria for is a number, so the criteria that shows up in the text box is this "1 or 3 or 5" so that it shows those specific numbers. If i put that directly into the query, it works just fine, but if I try to connect it from the text box in the form, it gives me a "data mismatch error" or an error explaining that criteria is too vast for access to pull the information. How do I make it read the information in there so that I dont have to create 1000 forms for each different unit.
Example:
Field: Unit
Table: Master Log Data
Criteria: 1 or 2 or 3
Works fine!
Field: Unit
Table: Master Log Data
Criteria: [Forms]![Selector]![Criteria]
The text box that is referenced in the criteria in the query says 1 or 2 or 3 and then I get an error... If the information is the same, why does it work when I place it in the query specifically, but not when its in the text box?
I am working on a database that contains patient demographic information. I have a form that prompts the user to enter either the medical record number or part of the patient name. Once you click search it'll then display a 2nd form with a list box outputting the results. Then from there the user can click on one of the entries in the listbox and it'll display the full demographic information on a 3rd form.
Now my problem is on the search part, it completely ignores if I have a medical record number entered. It continues to search by name only.
In my query for med rec # I have
[Forms]![frmSearch]![txtHistn]
where txtHistn is the text box field passing into the query. And for patient name column in the query under OR I have the following:
Like "*" & [forms]![frmSearch]![txtPname] & "*"
So I am confused why it ignores the medical record number entirely.
I have a test database attached. This is just a sample with dummy data entered and not designed pretty. Through this up for another issue I had yesterday that has been resolved but now discovered this query one. The frmSearch is how it begins. If you search by Smith it'll bring up the two Smiths I have entered. If I leave the field blank and enter 1 for the medical record number it treats it as null and displays everything. How can I fix this?
And while on the topic of query, the true database I am working with resides on an Power I series (formerly AS400s) and only linking to their tables. The data is entered in all Caps in the tables. How can I force whatever the user enters into the search screen that it will automatically uppercase the letters before performing the search? Without having the user to remember to enter with their cap locks on.
It works great until I get to a string that looks like this
4110-SPECIAL:OLY:LONG-TRACK:REPAIRS
Which I need to return the word SPECIAL but it gives me #Error in the Query.
It would seem that when there are multiple : it is giving the error but when there is only one it works fine. Is there anyther way to atchieve what I am doing?
I am doing this in an update query to get data from Quickbooks into a table in Access.
How does one handle function errors when running a query? Specifically:
(a) I have a user-defined function that lacks any error handling code except for an Exit Function that gets triggered if there is an unacceptable input parameter (e.g. typo in a flag value). (b) This works fine when the function is simply part of VBA code or used in the Immediate window of the VBA editor. However, (c) when the function is used in a SQL Select Query, I get bumped into the de-bugger, and Exit from there does not get me out of the Query. It just gets me out of the current record being processed and then hangs up again on the next.
It seems, therefore, that the function needs to have some instructions that abort the entire query when the function aborts the very first time.
I'm trying set the query criteria from a textbox on a form. It's a Status field in the query. 1 = Open, 2 = Closed. If I set the criteria to "1" it shows all open, "2" and it shows all closed and "1" or "2" it shows all. The problem I'm having is setting these in the form. I've set the query to pull the value from the form. I can get the Open or Closed to work but not the All. My textbox shows exactly how the criteria should read "1" or "2" but doesn't show any results.
I've got a continuous form based on a query.Each of the fields have a search box below it (in the footer) which should ideally filter the query.I'm starting with the FirstName field.In the form's query, I've set the criteria to the following for the FirstName field:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![frmStudentDetails]![txtSearchFirstName] & "*" frmStudentDetails is the form name. txtSearchFirstName is the search box's name (in the footer). The AfterUpdate event for txtSearchFirstName is:
Code: Me.Requery
But, it doesn't work; when I switch to form view, it displays an error. The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![frmStudent Details]![txtSearchFirstName]' as a valid field name or expression.
Am not getting a value from a form text box when using in the criteria line in my query. Am referencing like [Forms]![FormName]![FormLabelName]. If I copy the data in the form and paste it into the query, it works fine, but if I just reference the form, I get no results.
I've been writing queries in the following format for years in Access 2003, but having recently transistioned to Access 2010, I've found the following sql doesn't work.transform
sum(s.value) SELECT s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name FROM supply_points s , codes c WHERE s.code = c.code and s.id is not null and s.code = 1075 and s.month >=[forms]![main]![gppstart ] group by s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name pivot s.month
In Access 2010, this query returns the following error message:the Microsoft Access database does not recognize '[forms]![main]![gppstart]' as a valid field name or expression
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I have a Inventory DB and i want to integrate scanning. So far i have a table called StockInfo, this table holds information about bar codes (device type, make, model). I have a form called Scan_Barcode, on this form I want to be able to scan a bar code into a text box (text0) and use a afterupdate and requery function to display the results onto a form called EnterInventory.
Not only just the results but I want certain columns from the query to display in certain text boxes on this form. I have a query called FindProduct. that filters the criteria by whats entered on the Scan_Barcode text box (text0). So when i scan a certain bar code i can get the query to display certain product information for the bar code. I just cant get the results onto the HarwareStock form.
All of a sudden none of my queries work properly- all the criteria and calcs i had in them have been deleted?! Basic codes do not work any more e.g >now() ;between 1 and 30 etc If i try and write a new query using the same expressions and code they just don't like it - YET they were working yesterday - very strange Can anyone help??
I have an error database that I'm attempting to build. I need the results of the query to show User ID when there are no errors during a defined time frame.
this is probably an old one but its catching me out. I'm writing a sports club database in ASP. When users submit their club details in the form to Access, I get errors if it has the characters ' in any of the fields. I've managed to get around " by replacing it with "". However, this doesn't seem to work with '
I'm new to ASP... anyhow the part of my form which deals with this is:
I also do a bit more error checking on the email address, for length, @ etc. This bit seems to work ok. However, Any tips on how to improve the error handling for ' or " before its submitted to access is appreciated.
I seem to have the biggest problem with getting information from one window/form to another. I have a MainForm, that has 2 subforms on it. On the subform2 there is a command button that opens a new “Form3” in “dialog”. Form3 has a list box displaying data from a table and a command button that says “Add to Subfom2”. I want to get the information from Form3 and update the unbound textbox on subform2. I keep getting errors; “Field not found in….” I have tried: Forms!MainForm!Subform2.Textbox = ListBox.Colunm(1) Forms!MainForm!Subform2.Form!Textbox = ListBox.Colunm(1) Forms!MainForm!Subform2!Textbox = ListBox.Colunm(1) None seem to work, what am I doing wrong? Can some on help me with this syntax. Thanks Enviva
I've got a number of different append and delete queries running on command on one of my forms, in which it makes a copy of all of the data on that form and included subforms, copies them into another table, and then deletes all of the data from that record. When this runs, I get an error saying "record deleted" and then another error message. Now it is deleting the records and it is moving them, however when i go onto one of the subforms, all the fields in the subform show "Deleted#" until i go back to the previous record or forward to the next, then they clear, but everytime it brings up the other error message it says "end or Debug" which I don't want it doing.
Resolved the date range issue, thanks, now I have a problem with the query results. I have a query based upon several other queries that have the StaffID and the linking factor. When I combine some of the queries it works fine, but with others, seemingly those that have no valves or data in the tables, the query brings back no results what so ever.
The queries are running a simple count of records so they have, StaffID input, date range and it counts the records for that staff member within the date range. The second query gives a sum of the count of the first query. But when I try to combine the queries so that I can produce a report for multiple work areas for audit, I hit problems, is there another, easy way for me to do this, maybe creating a report from invididual query results and only combining them for the report itself.
HELP! Can not attach actual db because of sensitive nature of the information contained, but would be willing to create a like db as sample.
The queries all run off data elsewhere on the form, and i have triggered a "Form Refresh" macro on each of the changeable fields of the form, (so for example when changing the start date for the period the form then refreshes and re-runs the queries and updates the forms.
All things work perfectly on our windows XP systems but the rare few Vista operating systems causes these form fields to have errors. Basically the 3 subtotal fields don't appear to refresh when they are supposed to, and the total field shows as "Error"
It is actually a fairly cosmetic thing as the more important reports are generated without error, but it is something i would like to fix anyway, simply to keep the masses happy.
Would be very appreciative of any assistance or idea's on what's happening, or perhaps what's not happening here.
BTW: All have MS Office 2007, None do not have Administrator access. All XP machines work perfectly, all vista machines have these errors.
I am currently working on a form that calculates the sum of counts and charges for various categories. The form sums the number of items in each category, then the sum of the charges. Where I am stuck is trying to break out the "per unit" charge for each category. The calculation works fine (sum of charges/sum of items) when there is a number greater than 0, but if the count or charges are 0, the fields display errors. I attempted to compensate for this by setting the text box value on the form to iif(iserror(sum of charges/sum of items),0,(sum of charges/sum of items), but it still shows the error!. I could probably write nested iif statements to evaluate the values of each sum, but you would think this would be simpler. Here is a sample of the actual ControlSource field on one of the text boxes:
I am running a report based on a query. When the query returns zero rows, the count function in the report gives an error. Probably a simple solution but I've searched and can't find an answer. What do I do to stop the report when there is no data?
Can someone help me please???:rolleyes: I have to query for the avg balance from customer table, custbal field from a certain state... I've tried everything and cannot seem to get the expression correct. How do I do this???? any help is appricated :D
So i have made a query which filters the text you type in your text box on a form. This is working great, but then this morning I had some records that contain some blank fields. My query does not show those records even if they contain the same text that I would type in my search form.This is my expression in my query of one column:
Like [Forms]![searchform]![Qprojectomschrijving] & "*"
I am writing a small database using MS Access 2007. I have in it a function for running queries and printing reports. Printing works just fine if any one of the multiple query criteria is give.
I also want to trap errors and present a message if the user clicks the "Print" button without a query criteria. At the moment I only get a run-time syntax error message which has a "debug" button for accessing the entire code. I want a message that will say "There was no search criteria".
This is the code for printing:
Code: Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Dim varWhere As Variant varWhere = BuildFilter ' Update the record source Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM q_Vehicles " & varWhere
I have a form with a text box and a query that has a criteria or [FORMS]![ThisForm]![ThistextBox]
Is i enter say "apples" in the text box then the query shows be all records with the criteria of apples. If i enter "oranges" it shows me all records with a criteria of Oranges, however if i enter "Apples" OR "Oranges" it return nothing
Why I can use multiple items in a criteria.
I have tried IN("Apples","Oranges") too and nothing works.
I have a linked table to Access 2010 which contains tracking numbers for shipments.When I link the spreadsheet to the Table, the FedEx tracking numbers are changed to for example - 9.813842152e+014 instead of 981384215196229. Is there anyway to change these back to its original format? I was thinking of creating a query where I could use Conversion Function, but it kept giving me error. Please note that both the UPS Tracking and FedEx tracking are in the same field.
