Queries :: Sub-queries With Text Box Based Parameter

Sep 18, 2014

I'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]...

Queries :: Reference Another Query Based On Date Specified As Parameter

May 16, 2013

Within a query, I'd like to reference another query field based on a date specified as a parameter.

In my query, there are fields for each month: [January],[February], etc.

I have a field titled [Current Month], based on the parameter [As Of Date]. So if when running the query, the parameter pops up and I type 5/6/2013, it knows that the month is May. I know how to return May in the current month field (format([As Of Date],"MMMM"). But how to I return the value that is in the May column?

Queries :: Parameter Query Returning Incorrect Results Based On Checkbox

Jul 31, 2013

I have a parameter query that contains information on a list of people and contains 3 checkboxes: alumni, parent, business

In this query, I am trying to use parameters to filter the results based on these three fields i.e.

true, false, true would return all records where either alumni, business or both are true, and parent can be either true or false.

false, true, false would return all records where only parent is true, and the other fields do not matter.

Queries :: Parameter Query Failed Based On Selection From Drop Down List

Feb 23, 2014

When creating a query I have set up a parameter query as instructed (in this case searching for a name) but when I run the query it returns the error 'this expression is typed incorrectly etc.'

I have worked out that this must be due to the fact that the names are not typed in by a front-end user but need to be chosen from a dropdown list (which i have stored in a separate table) - So, the query seems to fail based on that.

How To Handle Multiple Null Values Using Form-based Parameter Queries

Nov 19, 2012

i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.

My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)

Queries :: Counting Text Values Based On Their Status

Jan 25, 2015

I have a question regarding counting of text values base on their status and using that result to a calculation.

Say, I have a table of Demand of Positions, wherein, I have a specific Job Title for a certain Department that have number of workers needed (demand quantity) and a table of candidates for that job title and their status, say, Arrived, Visa Processing, Visa Applied, Visa Issued, and With Ticket.

What I would want is to make a summary out of the two tables, where the query will count how many candidates are there in that specific job title and have a field of status say, field of Count of Arrived, Count of Visa Processing and etc., and a field where I can add all of the count of candidates per status and deduct the result to the demand quantity where that field would be named Balance.

The problem is that the status varies on every candidate on that specific job title because the status field is used to track the progress of each candidate and this scenario will make the query blank because there would be no such record due to their status.

I tried making a summary following my requirement and you will see that in the attached file together with the SQL code of that query that the balance field value is blank.

Queries :: Join Two Databases Based On Common Text

May 31, 2013

I am trying to form a join between two separate databases. Database 1 has a column (Gene_Name2) that consists of common names of human genes. In this database there is only one name for each gene per field. The other Database 2 has a column (Gene_Name2) that has various names for the same gene in each field. Most genes have been given different names over time.

I want to join the databases into a separate query database so that all of the information in Database 1 is retained and only when the name in Database 1 matches one of the names in Database 2 does the row of information get tacked on to the query database. The problem is that in a normal query the text in both Gene_Name columns do not match and the query returns no matches. I have tried Instr and like criteria statements with no luck. The following is an example of what I have and what I need.

Database 1

Chrom Gene_Name1 Data
Chr1 ATC XYZ
Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ

Database 2

Gene_Name2 Data
ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC
ORF65;IDH2 IGH

Joined Query
Chrom Gene_Name1 Data Gene_Name2 Data
Chr1 ATC XYZ ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC
Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ ORF65;IDH2 IGH

Queries :: Access Multiple Queries Run With Date Parameter

Jun 19, 2015

I 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 :: 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]'.

Queries :: Form List Based On A Query Returns Original ID Value Not Field Text

Aug 14, 2014

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.

Parameter Queries Vs Parametrized Queries

Nov 5, 2004

I 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!

Queries :: Adding Calculations To Queries Based On Columns In Query

Feb 18, 2014

I am trying to add calculations to queries based on columns in the query... it seems to randomly expect 'Expression' or 'Group by' as column types, and Im having to create 3 sets of queries following on from each other to de-dupe data and allow filters on calculated values.

Also I've got a function which turns a date into a quarterly cohort, e.g. Oct 2013 -> 20134. I use ot on a lot of dates. I created a VBA function, CohortQ used as follows in queries:

Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 CohortQ([InputDate]))

In the VBA, InputDate is defined as a date

Code:
Function CohortQ(InputDate As Date) As Integer
If InputDate = 0 Then
CohortQ = 0
Exit Function
End If

[Code] .....

But when I run it on a date field, it gives me a data mismatch error. I can't step through as it's working on 600K rows.
If I put the function into the query,

Cohort: IIf Year([InputDate]) < 1990 or Year([InputDate]) > 2020, 0 Year([InputDate])*10+DatePart("q",[InputDate]))

it works.

Queries :: Creating A List Based On Multiple Queries

Jun 23, 2015

I have 3 select queries which Im trying to output to a combo - Ive tried a UNION query but I get an error

ODBC-- call failed ODBC Driver SQLBase.....

Firstly is do the results need to match within a union query? I mean they have no relationship what so ever Im just trying to populate this combo with the same results.

Secondly is there a better way to do it? 2 of the select queries query a linked SQL table and the third is a local table. All of the select queries work on their own.

Parameter Queries

Jun 29, 2007

Is 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, 2007

Hi 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,

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:].

Say my DateA = 01 Jan 06 and my DateB = 31 Dec. 06

How can I write a query with the two parameter values?

Multiply Parameter Queries!

Apr 13, 2007

i 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, 2007

I 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, 2013

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.
