Queries :: Running Query Based On Form Text Box Criteria With Special Features
Dec 18, 2013
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 form which lets the user enter a contract ID and then a combo box that has a list of reports which run against whichever ID is entered.
What I want to know if I put the ID's in a table if theres a way to allow the user to select multiple ID's in one go and run the report against them the range rather than 1 at time?
I'm thinking about utilising the check/tick boxes would this be possible? or another way?
I'm using 2003 and have some VBA ability.

I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.

I have a report that gets its data from a query. I need the query to run before the report based on criteria based from two combo boxes on a form.

I sure am having difficulty with this. I'm trying to have the criteria in my form refer to a text box within one of my forms which is the text as I would write it myself within the query design view.
Query's [DEST_ZIP5] criteria = [Forms]![Mainswitchboard]![QueryWizard].[form]![calcDestZip5]
[calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" OR "55343"
Basically, I just want to be able to enter the text string within a form instead of within the query. Sure this can be done!
Oh, and for what it's worth...
If, [calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422"
Then the query runs just fine. It's as if the query doesn't want to accept multiple criteria from another source.
TIA

Hello All,
I do hope somebody can help this newbie :)
Please except apologies if I sound a bit ignorant with this but I'm complete novice with Access...
Basically I have a table with the fields Name - Date - Location I need to extract info from the table based on the location field.
i.e. return Name if a specified location exists and another specified location does not. This was real pain in itself and in the end I had to run two seperate queries which returned NAmes where each of the chosen locations exist. I've then created an additional query which compares the two sub-queries and iliminates Names that appear in sub query 2.
I do hope this make's sense I'm starting to confuse myself.....
Anyway, my problem is with the date field... I have to specify a date in order to get the correct info as the results may change on a daily basis... i.e. somebody may use both locations one day, but just the one location the next. However the eventual report which I need to generate is based on criteria over the previous 7 days, although if I use this criteria in my query in completely messes up the results.
So, what I was hoping that I could do is somehow automate my query to run 7 times (once for each of the previous 7 days) and then to combine the results of the 7 queries into a single query or report...
Failing that, could anybody think of any simple way of achieving this... or will be a case of having settle for a seperate report for each day?
Any help would be hugely appreciated... once again apologies for the explaination... It porobably makes no sense at all.
Regards,
Andrew

What I want to do is set the criteria of a query to the value on a form if the form is open, and set it to a different value if the form is closed. I tried using a function on the OnLoad event of the form to set a variable called IsOpen to 1 if the form is open, and reset that variable to 0 when the form closes, but when I tried using the variable in an IIF statement in the query criteria, I got a "Its too complex" error.
Here's what I really want to do. I have a very complex form with multiple tabs and subforms. The subforms populate based on a query of what is selected and loaded into a textbox control on the first tab of the form. The first tab has a subform that is based on the main table. Rather than recreate that form, I want to copy it and change the rowsource on the first tab to a subset of the main table, and tell the query to use the textbox on the new form so I don't have to go and replicate all the other subforms. Is there a way to do that or am I just screwed?

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
Is this a common phenomena in Access 2010?

I have a table x where the field value is selected via a combo box in a form that is populated from another table z.
When I look in x, it appears to have correctly stored the text from z, not the ID number.
I then built a Query, qX, which looks in x and grabs the fields I want. That query shows the text correctly in each selected field.
Now when I build a form, frmQx and use a List control, it displays some of the fields as ID values from the original table z, not the text values.
How can I get round this? I've searched and searched for an answer, sigh. Maybe I'm just not quite certain how to phrase the search.

I have a query I am trying to build currently which creates a running total based on set criteria. I essentially have three columns (All times are in minutes). The visit ID, the duration of a visit and the time difference between the current and previous visit. e.g.
ID Duration Difference
1 30 0
2 45 10
3 15 20
4 60 10
5 15 10
What I would like to achieve is the following:
ID Duration Difference running total
1 30 0 30
2 45 10 85
3 15 20 15
4 60 10 85
5 15 10 110
So a line will have the calculation of the current time + the difference between the current and previous visit if the difference is below 20. I have the following:
Code:
Public Function Cont20(MyVal As Long, MyDif As Long) As Long
Static OldValue As Long
Dim NewValue As Long
If MyDif >= 20 Then
NewValue = MyVal
OldValue = 0
[Code]....
Which I put as Cont20([Duration],[Difference])
The problem seems to be on the return aspect, its not calculating correctly. I had the formula in Excel which worked great, but this is proving troublesome. As a note the Excel formula was such that it would add the previous running total and then add the current duration and current diff. e.g. In cell A7 the formula would be A6+B7+C7 and so on.

how I can have a combo box on a form, and once a value is picked, return a query that displays all the data based on that value. I have tried using sub forms and the after update but I cant seem to figure it out.

On I form I have a combo box called cboMobileStatus.Its row source type is "Value List".The row source is: 1;" All";2;"Has";3;"None".I have a query based on table "tblCustomerContacts" and I want to limit the records returned based on the value of the combo box.So if the user selects:
* All (1) I want all records returned.
* Has (2) I only want records that have a mobile number returned
* None (3) I only want records that do not have a mobile number returned
The field mobile is text (to keep the leading 0)I thought of using the Switch function in the criteria of the query for field Mobile like this:
Code:
Switch([Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=1,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Like "*",[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=2,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Not Null,[Forms]![frmPrintCustomer]![cboMobileStatus]=3,([tblCustomerContacts].[Mobile]) Is Null)
but the query does not like it!Am I on the right track, and if so, how should I modify the code?

I have a form with a check box. A query is run that looks at that check box and decides what the criteria are based on that. So, if the check box is checked, it should pull in all data in the field that is a Y. If it is not checked, i want it to pull all data (Y's and N's and blanks).
here is my criteria:
IIf([Forms]![frm_Query_Form]![CheckBox]<>0,"Y","*")
This does not seem to work. I have also tried:
IIf([Forms]![frm_Query_Form]![CheckBox]<>0,"Y")
IIf([Forms]![frm_Query_Form]![CheckBox]<>0,"Y",Like "*")
IIf([Forms]![frm_Query_Form]![CheckBox]<>0,"Y","like "*"")

I need to run a query using a list of unique values. I open a new query in design view, pick my table that I want to use, pick the field, but then in Criteria, I need to use a list of values. The list is 62 values long. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I hope I am explaining myself thoroughly.

I am working in MS access 2007.
What I am trying to do is fairly simple i just dont have the ability to correctly code what i want to do.
I want to filter my query based on some criteria in multiple columns. But i only want the query to filter based on the specific criteria if a checkbox has been selected.
Basically i want the criteria for one of the columns criteria to read
IF a check box "Check0" is selected THEN filter the column to only records that = 1 and if "Check2" then filter all records that = 2

I have a SubForm "assignments" based on a Query, which has criteria to filter dates and also to filter 0 and 1 of the checkbox ...
The question is:
How do I put in that SubForm one or more Checkbox to "enable" and "disable", only the criteria of such query? So, toggle, for example, those jobs that are not completed (Checkbox of the query=0) and those that do ...

Is there a way in access, through vba or any other means, which would allow me to either enable or disable criteria in a query based on the value of textbox??
Like i have a query that displays bookings customer has made between two dates, so i made a query and in the starting and ending date fields i get the value from form. In case if the use does not enter ending date, i would like to run the query with starting date only that displays booking made after the starting date.
Currently the starting date criteria is set to a textbox of form, and so is ending date. So if customer selects 1st April 2015 as starting date and 30th April 2015 as ending date the query should display the bookings between 1st and 30th of April. And if the user enters only 1st April in starting date it should display bookings starting from 1st April onward.

Ok so im working in MS Access 2007.
I want to create a query based on 3 combo boxes but have it so that if the field in the second or third combo box is not populated the query still runs.
Right now i have the Criteria set for the three columns that i wish to sort by as seen below.
Column 1
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![areabox2]
Column 2
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![devbox2]
Column 3
Criteria: [Forms]![Entity Selection Form]![entitybox2]
This gives me the correct query result but im forced to make a selection from each combo box. Is there a way to progamme it so that if I only make a selection from the first combobox and leave the others blank i can still get results in a query?

I have a very simple query on an accounts form to show a running transaction history.
Identifying from the TransactionID (shown for display purposes only - normally hidden) three or four postings make up one transaction.
Using TransactionID 10 as an example, I'd like to have a sum of total [Credit]-[Debit] and have the query display on one line (either at the top of £1,429, or at the bottom of £16,995) to identify this is in fact one transaction, having three posts.
Transaction 9 will have obviously have one total, as this is a single post.
11 the same as 10, by having one total Transaction Value either at the top of the row or bottom.

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 totals query that provides an avg for each month. i'd like to be able to use a text box control (named "Date") on a form (named "Report Runner") to show only a certain month and it's avg.
I tried using this as criteria on the "MonthGroupPMC" field:
Code:
Format([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date], "yyyy-mm")
but the results came up blank.
how can i filter the results of this query to show only one month, specified by the [Forms]![Report Runner]![Date] control?

Is it possible to insert text from a textbox on a form (Data) when a combobox on (Data) meets a criteria?
Example: Test: IIf([Results]="Positive" text207)
So if the Results combobox is Positive then the text from Text207 is inserted.
