I have a parameter query in which consists of a search statement as below:-
Search: [Model] & " " & [FiscalYear]
It works very well. I am wonder if there is any options available to affect the search results. As far as I understand, when I enter the key word into the pop up box, it will search the fields sequentially and populate the result. Can I enter different key word for each field? If so, what is the syntax for entering the key words.
I have a query that I'm working on through Access 2010's design view. I'd like to add a criteria to the query where it only shows results with the employee name column matching a global variable I created that stores the name of the currently logged in employee.
Here's my vba code that declares the global variable and the public function i'm trying to pass as criteria in the query:
Global gbl_loginName As String Public Function returnName() As String If IsNull(gbl_loginName) Then returnName = "test" ' dummy account created for development only Else returnName = gbl_loginName End If End Function
and here's the SQL code from Access's design view:
SELECT [Entry of Hours].WC, [Entry of Hours].[Employee Name], [Entry of Hours].[Set Up Time], [Entry of Hours].[Run time], [Entry of Hours].[Traveler Number], [Entry of Hours].[Entry Date], [Entry of Hours].[Quantity Finished], [Entry of Hours].Notes, [Entry of Hours].WPS,
[Code] ....
when I try running the query, however, I get this error:
'returnName' is not a recognized built-in function name
Is there a problem with using public functions in Access' design view?
I have a report based on a crosstab query with a subreport based on a second crosstab query both the crosstab queries have the same 3 parameters (2 as string, 1 as boolean) which I pass through a dialog form that closes after the report is opened (in preview).looks like everything works fine at least for the first page of the report but when I try change page, it prompts me to re-enter the parameters. Of course, if a do not close the parameters form I will not have this problem but that is a popup dialog which I do not want to close manually after the operation is done
So I tried to pass the form input first to a Public variable then to a Public Function but I was not able to reference neither of them in the PARAMETER statement of the 2 Xtab queries..As a function, each of the following declarations prompts for input at runtime::
MyFunction, [MyFunction], [MyFunction()], [=MyFunction()] while the following are not accepted (syntax error) MyFunction(), =MyFunction()
In criteria of a Query I have this SQL: Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
This SQL is to write in a textbox one parameter at a time to search in a table.I need to search for more than one parameter at a time and I have been trying to add to the SQL the operator OR or AND but does not work.
Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" OR Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*" AND Like [Forms]![FSearch].[qb1] & "*"
How can I search for more than parameters at a time?
I have a table in sql holding telephone data. the starttime column and endtime column are both in "10/05/2006 12:55:56" format.
I want to run a parameter query that lets me search by agent name and then by date. The agent name is no problem but when running parameter query by date it brings back no data. I think this is because the time is also in the same field as the date. Ideally I would like to be able to run the query between certain dates, e.g. find data for agent1 between 2 different dates.
I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
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 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 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 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]))
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 *
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
I have always used parameter forms for inputing query/report criteria. However, they have always been for one query or report. However, all searches I have done for trying to use one form for several queries all I find is a simple response of "Create a form and then direct all the queries to grab the parameter from the form.". Sounds simple enough but I can never get it to work.
I have created a macro that runs 12 Append queries. I have also created a parameter form that has an unbound combo box. The combo box is fed by a query that gathers all the Data Dates for the user to select from. So if there are 24 different data dates then the combo box displays them all.
I tried creating a macro that first opens the form then opens the query, however, it runs the query before I can finish entering the criteria in the form. Then I just get a pop up of "You are about to append 0 records..."I have found several walk-throughs for having a query use a form to grab parameter, but have not been able to find one that shows you how to set up one form to run several queries.
I keep trying to find an answer, then give up and continue manually entering 12 dates for 12 queries when they pop up after running the macro. Now I need to create a macro that runs 24 queries and I don't want to have to go through 24 parameter pop-ups.
SELECT tblClient.FullName, tblService.Funding_Source, tblService.Service_Name, tblService.Auth_Date, tblService.Auth_Units, Sum(tblServiceLog.Service_Units) AS SumOfService_Units, [Auth_Units]-[SumOfService_Units] AS [Remaining Units] FROM (tblClient INNER JOIN tblService ON tblClient.SSN = tblService.Client_ID) INNER JOIN tblServiceLog ON tblService.Service_ID = tblServiceLog.Service_ID GROUP BY tblClient.FullName, tblService.Funding_Source, tblService.Service_Name, tblService.Auth_Date, tblService.Auth_Units, [Auth_Units]-[SumOfService_Units];
Ok, this query works fine when it comes to the data it outputs, but everytime I run it it wants to know a "Paramemter Value for SumofService_Units". No matter what number I put in there it still gives me correct data. Why is this box appearing and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?
I have form with a button on it that launches a parameter-based Select query (which served as the source for a report). I didn't have any validation measure in place, so if the User supplied a bogus value, a blank report was generated. While not technically an error, it would seem more polished to generate a warning message if the User supplies a bad query value and prompt them to re-enter.
Having read other posts along these lines, I've added an unbound text box to the form which the User fills in first before clicking the button. When the button is clicked, it executes code that uses the DCount function to make sure the text box value is in the source table, and if it is then it runs the parameter-based Select query. My question is how to pass the value in the text box to the query as a parameter. Below is a sanitized version of the code that I've generated so far.
Private Sub SingleItemRptB_Click() If DCount("[FieldName]", "[Table]", "[FieldName]=[TextBoxValue]") = 0 Then MsgBox "Item not in database. Please check value and re-enter." Else DoCmd.OpenQuery "SingleItemQ", acViewNormal, acReadOnly End If End Sub
I have a form which users can toggle whether they want to only see entries that has data in a certain field. Previously I have set up a separate query with a hardcoded 'Is Not Null' in the criteria, and set the form to call the different queries based on the status of a toggle button. This time there is 22 queries that need to be modified so I'm hoping there's a better way.
I have a hidden textbox on my form that has value "Is Not Null" or Null based on the position of the toggle button.
In my query for the field criteria I have [Forms]![MainForm].[txtCriteria] where txtCriteria is the textbox previously mentioned.
I have a query that is hard coded with a date range.
SELECT tblCase.CaseId, tblCase.ReqReceived, tblCase.Letter_AMPI, FROM tblCase WHERE (((tblCase.Letter_AMPI) Between #4/1/2014# And #3/31/2015#)) OR (((tblCase.ReqReceived) Between #4/1/2014# And #3/31/2015#)) ORDER BY tblCase.CaseId;
I would like to create a parameter query that allows me to only enter the year and the query would append the rest of the date range. So for example, if I prompt the user to enter the date and they enter 2014, the query would know that it means Between #4/1/2014# And #3/31/2015# or if I enter 2015, it means Between #4/1/2015# And #3/31/2016#.As well the date would need to go into both fields ReqReceived and Letter_AMPI.
Sometimes i have a problem with dynamical queries. For some of these i need to put in the same parameter value two times, before it works. Why this occurs?
