Database to query. It holds tables for the machines we have and the parts each machine requires. We also have a database of spare machines and the parts that are in them.
Given the nature of the machines, some parts aren't worth trying to pull out singularly, only as part of a set.
I've been asked to put together something queries which of our old parts/machines can be reused.
So I have a table of current machines and their parts and when they were last replaced.
I have a query that says 'Show me all the machines that have parts over 5 years old.' I get a list of machines and their parts
Can I then take that whole list of parts and search the table of spare machines any parts and find that exact list of parts?
I don't mind if the machine has more parts, but it must match that exact set of parts and that set of parts should be contained in one machine.
I've added an example that is a cut down version of what I have:
Basically say we might want to replace the parts in Current machine 10002.
I query CurrentMachines for which parts it has.I then want to use the results of that to query the spares. But I only want to return spares that has all three parts that machine 10002 has.
All I can make it do at the minute is find the spares with any one of the parts that match the 10002 list.
I'm quite new to Access and have inherited a database from a colleague. It is a database of references from which we have extracted pesticide active ingredient, pest species and crop species using forms. I am trying to create a query that will allow us to search and return unique active ingredient x pest x crop species combinations (but which will return all instances of this combination).
The complication is that the pest and crop species names are within the same field ('taxa'). They are distinguished by a label ('pest' or 'crop') in an associated field ('PestorPredator'), but a query using 'OR' will only return a crop OR pest, whilst a query using 'AND' will return no records (because something can't be a pest AND and crop).
I want to be able to create a table that shows the active ingredient, associated pest species AND the associated crop species each in separate columns. We have tried a couple of methods, including UNION and UNION ALL....
Background: I have a database that keeps track of containers -what they belong to, and what is in them. Each container has a “Call #” which is labeled on the container and is a primary key in the database. The “Call #” field is set to only allow 5 characters in this field. A standard “Call #” for example is "A 152". When a new container comes into the system, which has not been physically labeled yet, I enter it in the database a little different. So let us say container "A 152" just came in, and has not been physically labeled yet. I enter the “Call #” into the system as "MA152". The "M" tell me it still needs to be physically labeled. When I go to label all the unlabeled containers, I print a report with all the "Call #''s that start with "M". I have another field in the same table called "Mark". In my forms I can then go through and click a "Mark Button". The Report prints all containers where the "Mark" field = yes(True). This feature is used for a number of different reports, not just unlabeled containers. To keep the database clean and in order, all “Mark” fields reset to no(false) whenever it opens up. Because, I used the “Mark” field for other reports, simply clicking the “Mark Button” when I enter the new container into the system will not work.
My Question: Is There a way to have a Query search for the first letter in a field. So when I go to print my report, a query runs looking for all "Call #s" that start with the letter “M”.
I don't seem to find any query formula in the forum where the age changes on the date of birth. I tried all the once I could find but all of them seem to calculate the age as of 1 January. I find it a bit strange that it doesn't work.
I got BirthDate and Date in the table I want to update the age column back in the history with an update query.
I have a field in my query which returns results based on a formula that is a function of other fields. The results are: Pass and Fail. I want to make a query that returns only Fail rows. When I enter Fail as the criteria, a parameter box pops up requesting information be entered before continuing.
I'm using Access 2003 connecting through ODBC. I'm trying to set up an automated query to grab today's data. normally it's pretty easy, all you'd have to do is enter date() in the criteria in an access query. Unfortunately, the date in my database (i can't change this) is in an odd format.
example: april 1st, 2013 = 1130401
Every single date always has that preceding "1" in front of it, then the year, then the month, and finally the day.
I want to always specify the current date whenever the query is run (without having to type it in)
I have a db tracking vacation times for staff. One of the fields tracks a members vacation start and end dates. I need a way to pull a report to see who is on vacation based on Date() (today).
For example:
A record for John Doe has him start vacation 08/19/2014 and end vacation on 8/28/2014. If I wanted a report that shows who is on vacation today, 08/25/2014, using the date() function), how would I do this?
I have a linked table in my access accdb file to a view on a SQL Server DB.
One of the columns is a date column, where only the time value is important, so it's stored in the default format, like 12-30-1899 12:00 AM.
In SQL Server, I can query records that fall between a certain time frame. It works in Access when written as an ADO query (that's another story), and it also works when I convert the view to a local access table.
But when I query it as a linked server, it will return everything is greater than 12-29-1899 11:59 pm, but when I try to search any date/time ranges on 12-30-1899 nothing is returned. This seems to be a bug in Access.
The reason I no longer use ADO, is that the results would not print. For some reason, when I go to print preview, Access would evaluate the query I'm passing through to SQL Server and throw a syntax error. I miss ADP.
how to query data in my database based on a number of different criteria.I have reached a stage where I can get all the data I need from one query, however I can't figure out how to further query this data to return records from a table with the most recent date only. I have searched the forum, googled and experimented myself but I am running into "Aggregate Function" errors.In this scenario there are 3 tables. tblJobs, tblEquipment and tblInspectionLog. Each tblJobs record can have multiple tblEquipment records attached to it, and each tblEquipment record can have multiple tblInspectionLog records attached to them.
I would like to query the database for what tblEquipment records have been assigned to a tblJob ID and also return only the tblInspectionLog record with the latest Inspection_Date field.At the moment I am able to see tblEquipment records attached to tblJobs, however duplicate records appear due to multiple InspectionLog records associated with the equipment.
I have tried to filter records from tblInspectionLog using the "Max" criteria under Inspection_Date field in my query. This however returns an "Aggregate Function" error.
How can I get an exact match in a search. If I search for say C1 I get results showing everything with C1 i.e C1, C11, C12, C13 etc. I just want to show C1's This shows my query at present.
I'm using an array with the Instr function. The array (or the Instr function) doesn't seem to be case sensitive... which is a pain because its picking words within words where the case doesn't match!! I'd like the vales in the array to match exactly when using the Instr function
For a couple of days now I've been trying to devise a way to achieve what I want, but I just keep going in circles and hitting errors (thanks to forum members, I've been able to solve most of them.) So, here's what I want to be able to do:
Input a product using the iproduct combo box (which gets its list of values from the Products table); its brand, using the ibrand combo box; and its size using the isize textbox, all in the frmFoodSub form. I then want it to check to see if an exact record already exists (ie. the same product, same brand, same size.)
If it doesn't exist, I want to create it. If it does, I want to do nothing. Then I want the product - either the one I just created, or from a record that already exists matching the iProduct input - to be input into the product field of the PurchaseDetails table. I then want to use iQuantity and iPrice textboxs, already linked to the PurchaseDetails table, to input the newly added product's quantity and price.
I hope my explanation was clear enough. I'd appreciate any help with this you may be able to offer.
I am trying to perform a search function query in access but am having trouble. I have two tables. One table has a column in which I need to search the contents of this field by referencing data in another field/table. I am able to write the query searching the data manually (not referencing the other table) but can't seem to get the query right when referencing the other table!
this query works = SELECT * FROM Sample_Data WHERE (((Sample_Data.[Affected_Frequencies]) Like "*451.425*" Or (Sample_Data.[Affected_Frequencies]) Like "*451.400*"));
but, i put together a frequency table (Table name = Frequencies) and the column within that I am searching for is called Frequency. im trying to reference Frequencies.Frequency using a LIKE statement.
I'm using Access 2010. I need to calculate a score based on values selected in a table by looking up corresponding values in other tables. I have a "Project" form to create new entries into the Project table (see Table 1). When I create a new project record, I will select values for the Payback and Need fields by selecting options from a list. The Payback list is pointed at Table 2 and the Need list is pointed at Table 3. In the below example, I created the "ABC" project and selected "1 year" for the Payback field and "Repair" for the Need field. Pretty simple.
Now that I have the "ABC" project loaded to my Project table, I'd like to create a report that will show a "score" for this project. The score should be calculated as follows: Payback Impact + Need Impact. In this example, the score should be 30 (Payback Impact of 20 + Need Impact of 10).
I have a query with an INNER JOIN and ORDER BY that is working great. Now, using the same JOIN, I need to update values in one table with the values in another. I thought it would be simple until I learned you can't do an ORDER BY with an UPDATE. Is there another way to achieve the same result? If you remove the 'ORDER BY', the statement below doesn't produce an error but the results are not correct:
UPDATE TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON (Left(TableA.CDN,6))=(TableB.CDN) SET TableA.HCC = TableB.HCC WHERE TableB.HCC Like '241*' AND TableB.BBB = 'X' AND TableA.CCC = "1234" AND TableA.HCC IS NOT NULL ORDER BY TableB.HCC, TableA.CDN;
Does anyone know how to perform an exact match using file search. The code I have below searches for the users AcroRd32.exe file (I have done it this way to allow for different versions of the reader). The problem is that foundfiles returns also AcroRd32info.exe ie FoundFiles(1). i only want to search for the prior!
Set fs = Application.FileSearch With fs .NewSearch .LookIn = "C:Program FilesAdobe" .SearchSubFolders = True .FileName = "AcroRd32.exe"
If .Execute > 0 Then 'check if there is such a file
stAppName = .FoundFiles(1) 'then define this as the applicate string name stAppName = stAppName & " " 'append a space or file string not correct 'specify path name for location of file.pdf stlocation = GetPrivateProfileString32("C:WINDOWSSSI_PROGRS_DATABASE.ini", "DIR", "DATABASE_FILELOCATION") stpathname = stlocation & "file.pdf" Shell stAppName & stpathname, vbMaximizedFocus Else 'if no file is found then need to instruct user to install reader MsgBox "You need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to open this file", vbExclamation End If End With
Hello, i'm not sure how to write a query, maybe it'll take VBA function to accomplish this, but I need to display the results for all invoices for an item.
Little background: 1. This set of invoices are of only one particular product line as it's this product line that needs this special handling. These are Guitar orders. 2. Each guitar item can have option items on the same invoice. So basically these are all considered item numbers. 3. The guitar starts as the bare / basic guitar. The customer can choose to select one or many options for a custom guitar. 4. These orders will need to have special guitar programming codes that need to be entered into their guitar programming machines. Call these "Codes". 5. Depending on the option items for the various guitar items, the Codes could vary. 6. Need to be able to display ONLY the Codes specific to the guitar or guitar and option combinations.
I have several tables: 1. Guitar for all the guitar items 2. Options for all the option items 3. ProgrammingCodes for all the programming Codes 4. ProgramCodes for creating the above combinations with a field named ComboID. 5. GuitarHeader - the invoice number and guitar item 6. GuitarDetails - the invoice number and option item (invoice number to invoicenumber link to the GuitarHeader)
Then there's a main form and a sub-form for the end-user (guitar programmer). 1. The main form is the Guitar items 2. The sub-form is the ProgramCodes fields this form is used for this end-user select the Guitar and options (where necessary) and select the Codes and enter the ComboID for all.
for instance: These are all the possible codes for AE185. AND depending on the Options selected for AE185 on invoices, the Codes will differ. The ComboID is the differentiator. Code:GuitarOptionCodeComboIDAE185 185RR 1AE185 186RHT1AE185 187RT 1AE18538185RR2AE18538186RHT2AE18538187RT382AE185BB185RR3AE185BB186RHT3AE185BB188RT-B3AE18538185RR4AE185BB185RR4AE18538186RHT4AE185BB186RHT4AE18538188RT38B 4AE185BB188RT38B 4
so for the Codes that repeats in the ComboID is only because the Option(s) also requires that Code as well as the other Codes.
for instance, if the invoice ONLY has Option 38 from the Options defined for Codes, then the result would be:
Code:Invoice Guitar Codes123456 AE185 185RR 186RHT 187RT38 <-- say this invoice had Option 38 that was the only match234567 AE185 185RR 186RHT 188RT-B <-- because BB was the only one that matches345678 AE185 185RR 186RHT 188RT38B <-- because both 38 & BB matches
So guess the question is how do I write a query or function (VBA) to be used in a query to get the results for ONLY the matching options so the correct codes for just these options are displaying?
It's difficult to me in figuring that out. how to make sure that the result does not show the ALL the codes that match but ONLY the codes in the combinations. Again, hence the reason why I got to the point of having Combination IDs to differentiate that.
hope I made sense here. Not sure how else to ask the question other then to try and provide examples let me know how else to explain if this is not helping.
I've a company database with everyone's software license but it doesn't have their employee ID number. I have another database with everyone's ID Number and I need to merge the two, How ever the problem is the names aren't exactly the same in both data bases. Some have small changes like
John, Sargent M :: John, Sargent M. Samantha, Williams Anne :: Samantha, Williams A.
It's all the people with more than 2 names entered that his problem happens the most and I was wondering how to solve this in access?
I'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass ------- -------- --------- A123 Apple Fruit A123 Apple Fruit A123 Grape Fruit A456 Potato Vegetable A456 Potato Perishable A789 Carrot Vegetable A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
there are certain txt boxes that once filled out, will filter a subform of a table of 1000's of records to give them a number to use on the form around 200 of the records have a depot in the "depot" field on the table, when they input a depot, it filters to them 200 fine if a depot is there,
what i want is, when they input the depot, if its there, filter it, if its not, to do nothing, as they could still get a unique number if the depot isnt in the list what happens now is, if the depot isnt in the list, it displays no records
Field : Fld_Depot Table : Tbl_Agreement_Summary Show : False Criteria : Like "*" & SearchForText([Forms]![Frm_New_Accounts]![Fld_Depot]) & "*" Or : Is Null
I did export the table data into a tabbed delimited format and will include that at the end. If you want to reproduce my bug copy that data in a txt file and import that into the table tblMain. Make a search form and a sub form. the sub form is linked to the table and the main form is unbound with two search buttons.
Problem Statement:The code works fine. I did find a bug that seems to arise with the wild cards when the entire field values are entered. You can replicate the bug by testing the search criteria listed below.
This is a brief example of the bug. A detailed description is near the code below.
If my name is "Devtycoon" and I search "Dev" the SQL statement will build "*Dev*" and it will pull up my name, "Devtycoon". On the contrary if I search "Tycoon" the SQL statement will build "*tycoon*" and it will pull up my name, "Devtycoon". If i search "DevTycoon" the sql statement will build "*Devtycoon*" and no results will be returned. That is buggy because the name is in the database but no wildcards would be needed.
Form1 contains the controls for search criteria. Three text box controls are used to filter a sub form control called "DS". The sub form is called sFrmMain and is a datasheet that shows results of the search. there is a button that runs the code and another button that clears search criteria and shows all records. Both button's code set the sub form's record source using an SQL string built using a function that returns a segment of the overall search string using the contents of each control that then is concatenated into a SQL statement used to set the record source.
There is a function for the following components of the SQL statement
SELECT / FROM WHERE controlA = me.txtSurname controlB = me.txtOrganization controlC = me.txtProgramTitle This is how you can replicate the bug.
I tested two additional surnames organizations and program titles as follows:
Try example (1). you will get both the 4's and the 14's records returned.
If you type in letter for letter of the second record (the one with the 14's) no records populate. It is like the wild card does not like it if you type in the entire field value. Uncle Gizmo's and Allen Brown's method do the same thing were no records populate if the 14's entire surname organization and program title are entered into the text controls. Can you reproduce this error? Other than that I think either method is bulletproof.
Example criteria
1) put the following criteria in each control then hit the search button
4 surname 4 organization 4 program title [two records returned]
2) put the following criteria in each control then hit the search button
[no records returned] 14 surname 14 14 organization 14 14 program title 14
How to find an exact match in a Access DB table using Sql Query in VB6 ?I know that "Like" keyword will give out all those rows which contain the search-for-string. But I want exact match.
1. a sum of payments by individuals 2. a sum of charges of individuals.
I want to combine these queries to create a report that shows the sums for each person of the charges and payments and calculate the balance. However, it is only showing me those individuals that have both a charge sum and a payment sum, while some individuals will only have a charge sum. How do I get those individuals to show and show with a zero payment balance if they are in my charge sum query but not my payment sum query and vice versa (some may have made a prepayment even though they have not been charged yet).
