Queries :: Using Like Criteria In Parameter Query

Aug 10, 2013

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???

Queries :: How To Use Criteria Or Parameter In Crosstab Query

Oct 5, 2013

I have a table that has three columns: Nationality, Gender, and Date. First I had the problem of grouping the Nationality column by Gender. That i resolved by creating a crosstab query. Now, I want to put a criteria on Date field so that when the query is run it will ask for the date input and will only show the Nationality and Gender result for specific dates. But when I write something in Criteria field it shows an error saying: "The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize "[Registration Date]" as a valid field name or expression"..

Queries :: Parameter Value Prompt In Query Using (Like Or Is Null) Criteria

Mar 29, 2015

I had an issue with writing LIKE statements in query criteria yesterday [URL]....

The answer they gave worked perfectly when I only used a single table in the query. But as soon as I did an INNER JOIN with two other tables, now I get parameter value prompts when I open frmSearch, and instead of seeing ALL my records when the controls are left null, I get only the first record in the table.

Here's the SQL of the query, can you point out what I messed up? NOTE that this SQL was 'written' by Access.. as I used the Query builder to set all the 'Like or Is Null' statements, then clicked SQL and sorta formatted the code so I can see what I'm looking at (instead of superthick wall-o-code):

Code:
SELECT tblPeople.name, tblPeople.num
FROM (tblPeople INNER JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.name = tblAddresses.name)
INNER JOIN tblPets ON tblPeople.name = tblPets.name

[code]....

Basically, this is a searchable database of participants in a pet-adoption program, along with the participants' pets history and address history (hence the linked tables as opposed to additional columns in one single table for pets and addresses... there are more than one in some cases). The frmSearch allows a person to run quick searches based upon ANY item in the database, such as name, pets, addresses, pet age, pet type, county of residence, etc. I need to be able to pick ANY field on frmSearch and type a value, and have the qrySearch return records for ANY record's related column wherein any part of it matches what I typed.

The statements as written worked PERFECTLY right up until I added the INNER JOIN. Now I get a set of parameter value prompts for every field on frmSearch that's referenced in the SQL for EACH table I linked to tblPeople, and if I leave everything null and click Search, I want to see EVERY person, but I'm only seeing the very FIRST person in tblPeople.

Queries :: Expression Asking For Parameter - Date Selection Criteria

Jul 31, 2013

I'm trying to create an query that has two separate expression in it and a date selection criteria. The first expression is,

Expr1: DateDiff("s", [Arrival Time 1],[Departure Time 1])/3600

and the second is,

Expr2: IIf([Expr1]>[Hours Per Day],[Expr1]-[Hours Per Day]

When I run this query it asks me for the date (which is fine) but then it also pops up a box asking for "Expr1". How can I get "Expr2" to use the value returned from "Expr1"?

Trouble With Between Criteria In Parameter Query

Oct 8, 2007

In MS Access 97 I have a basic query based on a single table. When I use "Between [Start Date] and [End Date]" as the criteria in a date field it returns incorrect records.

It works correctly on date fields that are not calculated but not on the date field that is calculated. If I type in the actual dates in the criteria (instead of the prompts) it returns the correct records.

Is there a solution to this behaviour? I need the users to be able to input the dates.

Thanks.

P.S. I have tried using the base query as a subquery but I still have the same issue in the second query based on the subquery.

Passing Criteria To Append Parameter Query Through VBA

Dec 6, 2007

Hello Everybody,

I have an append query that contains a parameter [PTIdent] under the field named PTID. I would like to be able to set the parameter through VBA from a control on a form eg Form!PTID

I use the following code as normal
Private Sub Command19_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command19_Click

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "apNewPres"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

Exit_Command19_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command19_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command19_Click

End Sub

Is there a way within this code to do this? I realise I could set the form criteria within the query itself. However I wanted to be able to use this query from multiple forms.

Thanks for any help

Cannot Run Multi-table Parameter Query With Criteria Specified In Form

Dec 7, 2011

I've created a farm database, with a form (frmSearch) that will allow user to filter data. The form comprises of combo box and list box etc... for the user to input their own criteria. The subform below has a datasource. The data source is based on a query (qContractionSearch) which is basically a parameter query with 3 tables. The problem is, however, that it won't work with 3 tables... but will work if data source comprises just one table.

See the farm database attachment...and go to frmSearch...then go to Contraction tab. (The Cattle tab filter works fine-it only has a single-table datasource).i have a requery macro which runs whenever the user clicks 'search'.

Modules & VBA :: Parameter Query - Detect If User Has Not Entered A Criteria

Dec 12, 2014

I have a report that is fed by a parameter query. When a command button (Command23) is clicked a parameter box opens and the user enters a subsystem number. A report for that subsystem then opens.

I want to open the report with VBA and show a message if the user has failed to enter a subsystem number in the parameter box and just clicked OK.

The problem is I don't know how to refer to the parameter box and detect if it has been left empty before clicking OK. I first tried to use IsNull in an If statement with Command23.Value, but now realize it is the value in the parameter box I am after, not the "value" of Command23.

How can I change my code to detect if the parameter box has not been filled out?

Private Sub Command23_Click()
If IsNull(Command23.Value) Then
MsgBox "You did not enter a Subsystem", vbOKOnly, "No Criteria Entered"
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTESTInfoBySubsystem", acViewReport
End If
End Sub

Form Based Parameter Query With Multiple Controls Used For One Criteria

Nov 14, 2012

My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.

I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.

HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.

The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]

When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".

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.

Queries :: Set Parameter As First Value From Separate Query

Aug 11, 2015

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.

Queries :: Combo Box Query Parameter

Aug 27, 2013

I have a query where I want to use a combo box in the parameter. However, its not working.

SELECT Call_Details.Emp_ID, Call_Details.[Call Status]
FROM Call_Details
WHERE (((Call_Details.Emp_ID)=[Forms]![TTY_ID]![TTY_ID]));

I get this in the Parameter Value Dialoge

Forms!TTY_ID!TTY_ID

Should I be entering this in the criteria field at all? Do I have to build an event to make this work?

Queries :: Less Than Parameter In Query Works Except When Value Is 100

Jun 27, 2014

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]))

the query looks like this:

SELECT [All Classes P1 Query].Class, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student ID], [All Classes P1 Query].[Full Name], [All Classes P1 Query].Subject, CInt(Nz([Grade])) AS Average, [All Classes P1 Query].Qualification, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student - Class - Grade].[Class Grading Period]
FROM [All Classes P1 Query]
GROUP BY [All Classes P1 Query].Class, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student ID], [All Classes P1 Query].[Full Name], [All Classes P1 Query].Subject, CInt(Nz([Grade])), [All Classes P1 Query].Qualification, [All Classes P1 Query].[Student - Class - Grade].[Class Grading Period]
HAVING (((CInt(Nz([Grade])))<[value]));

Queries :: How To Use Combo Box For Query Parameter

Oct 30, 2013

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 *

ALL Countries
UK
United States
Asia
Europe

I tried an iif statement like:

IIf([forms]![frmSelectReports].[location]="AllCountries",like"*",[forms]![frmSelectReports].[location])

but it didn't work...

Queries :: Add Checkbox Parameter To Query

Dec 26, 2013

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.

Queries :: Cannot Open Query Which Has A Parameter

Jul 22, 2014

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

[Code] ....

When I run the code nothing happen ?

Queries :: One Parameter Form For Several Query

Jul 9, 2014

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.

Queries :: Passing Parameter To Select Query?

Jun 5, 2013

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

Queries :: Passing (Is Not Null) As A Parameter In A Query?

Jun 16, 2015

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.

When I run the query no data is shown.

Queries :: Date Range Parameter Query

Jan 8, 2015

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.
