Queries :: Using A Form Selection As A Query Field
Oct 24, 2013
I've inherited a database that has a table with a large number of Yes/No fields. Apart from normalizing the database, I was wondering if the following was possible:
ContractTable has Yes/No Fields for rights granted for each order (television, dvd, internet etc).
Using a form, the user selects the specific right they'd like to run a report on - selecting this right from a drop-down menu, this is labelled "RightsCombo21" on the form.
When the button is clicked, the right selected is now the "Field" section of the query.
The SQL query right now looks like this (shows all rights sold for the territory):
WHERE ((([Contract Table].[Contract Cancelled])=False) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract End Date])>Now()) AND (([Contract Table].[Contract Type])="License Agreement") AND ((ContractIDAndCountry.CountryName)=[Forms]![TerritorySpecificRightsChooser]![TerritoryCombo7]));
I'd like to add something to this WHERE statement:
AND (([Contract Table].RightsCombo21)=True)
Not sure if it's a syntax issue, or I'm attempting something that isn't possible.
Is it possible to add a field (i.e., variable) to a query (or SQL programming) based on a form selection?For instance, if I use a form to allow an end-user to specify which fields they wish to include in the query (essentially creating a UI for the query builder), how would I go about creating the query/SQL or updating the query/SQL?
I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses Course ID (Primary Key) Course Title Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors Instructor ID (Primary Key Last Name First Name Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?
I cant find this for the life of me... this is the second day trying to figure it out. Anyway enough crying:D
Question: Either using a SQL statement or query builder, how is it possible to make the field selection come from a form, ie a combo box, text box etc. or a variable?
Reason: Im trying to make a dynamic searching form which will allow the searching from customers via a few of many columns which reside in 4 different tables also. Using a cascading combo box system to eventually narrow down the correct one. The above is my first hurdle and I think once I get past this brick wall I will be back on my way.
I have a database newbie question. I am writing appli. in asp. i have 2 table 1 MsgMst and 2 UserMst UserMst has fields ID and UserName and MsgMst has fields ID, UserID (which is ID from UserMst), MsgDate and Msg. I want to list UserName, MsgDate and Msg in 3 columns of table. Can I get all three (USername from UserMst parallel to UserID in MsgMst Table) and MsgDate and Msg fields from MsgMst table in a single Recordset? What should be SQL Query?
Below is the SQL for a query I have, which returns events that are scheduled for today, I need to change this so that The user can specify events to be displayed in a date range and If possible only show those events for the users windows ID
Code:
SELECT tblEvent.EventStart, tblEvent.EventOwner, qryCompany.Company, ltDescriptionType.Description FROM (tblEvent INNER JOIN qryCompany ON tblEvent.Company = qryCompany.ContactID) INNER JOIN ltDescriptionType ON tblEvent.EventDescrip = ltDescriptionType.[DescriptionType ID] WHERE (((tblEvent.EventStart)=Date())) ORDER BY tblEvent.EventStart, tblEvent.EventOwner;
I have a query that allows the user to put in a date range - this works.He also wants to limit what he prints.
For example at the moment he gets
OrderA rest of line 1 for orderA OrderA rest of line 2 for orderA OrderA rest of line 3 for orderA OrderB rest of line 1 for orderB OrderC rest of line 1 for orderC OrderC rest of line 2 for orderC OrderD rest of line 1 for orderD . . .OrderZ etc
He only wants to say print lines for OrderA and OrderD. It's he's choice and not based on anything else already in the table.
I see that in the criteria on the design for the query it allows me to bbuild an expression and I can select a list box on the form such as
[Forms]![name of form where list box is]![name of list box].[EXPRESSION VALUES]
I don't know which expression value to choose. I have tried afterupdate and beforeupdate but none of the rest look like they are the ones I should be using.
I have a database which keeps track of a trucking business. Each truck has a trailer number. I have no problem having a query prompt the user to enter a single trailer number to query on. What can I do when the customer needs to select more than one trailer number to query on?
In the Contacts Table there are two fields, the unique Contact ID key field numeric and the Contact Name. Like this:
Contact_ID; Name 1; Tom 2; Dick 3; Harry
In a form named "Selection" there is a Combo box that references the Contact table, and lists just the three names in the drop down (showing the Contact_ID is optional - I'm fine either way):
Tom Dick Harry
When the selection is made it will populate the field Contact_Ref the table called SelectedName.
Question: When the user selects the name I'd like the data populated in the SelectedName table to be the Contact_ID Value, and not the Name, so if Harry is selected the Value "3" would be saved.
I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries product1query product2query product3query
I have the following options in the combo box product1 product2 product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
I have a Customers table and an Orders table. My Customers table is a bit different than the norm because I couldn't figure out any other way to do this.
My client's customers are either businesses (companies) with a contact person, or individual customers. So, in the Customers table, I have the following fields (there are others but do not apply to my problem):
Customer ID Company Contact Customer
So, if it is a company the data entry person would enter the company name and the full name (EX: Doe, John) in the contact field, but if it is an individual customer, then they would leave Company and Contact blank and enter just the Customer name (Ex: Doe, Jane).
So, in the Orders table, I have combo boxes for look ups for the fields Company and Customer.
That works okay, but I would really like for the Customer ID to post into a text box once the Company or Customer has been selected. In other words, the input person would enter the name, then it would show that Customer's ID #.
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.
I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).
The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.
The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.
I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.
This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));
The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:
SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));
The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"
How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.
i have two tables one is "empdata" and other is "consolidate data".In consolidate data ,i have all personal and salary data for one year of each employee but i update some employee data in empdata now i want to update each employee updated data to update in consolidate data. i want to do it with update query which run with form,is form i want create 2 combo box, 1st is employee name and 2nd is field name(which to be updated i.e. Date of birth)now i have one text box (in which i enter the value for update in employee data i.e.04/05/1976(date of birth)).how can i link this form to my update query as
1st combo box value is equal to creteria, 2nd combo box is equal to field in consolidate
I have put a selection query as a subform in a form which shows client details. When the form opens from the switchboard it asks the user to enter the clients unique number and then the query links the number to the client ID (autonumber) which then populates the form with all the details for that client. This is all great but I have 2 questions?
1. If I put in an incorrect number or press cancel the form loads anyway with no record. Is there a way to force the user to re-enter the number or if the number does not exist say so, and then return to the switchboard. The aim of this form is for reference and not data entry anyway.
2. Once in the form correctly is there a way to 'refresh' the form so that it asks for the card number again. My plan is to have a button "search for another client" and when it is pressed the query runs again and the input box comes up.
I need a query's field to change to what is selected in a combo box.
Example,
I select product 1 in the combo box on a continuous form, after the update there is a requery. The form now displays the data from product 1.
I have tried putting [forms]![form1]![combo1] into the field box of the query. But this only makes the form display "product 1" in every row, it does not take any data from the table.
Code: SELECT ContainsTracks.albums, ContainsTracks.tracks FROM ContainsTracks WHERE ContainsTracks.albums LIKE [VALUE IN TEXTBOX1 FROM MAIN FORM]
As you can see in the brackets, I would like to use the value in textbox1 on my main form in this query (so I can select only the tracks from the album that is typed in textbox1, disregarding the others).
I've got an issue with a query/form combination that I'm working on. I have the following:
A query where one of the the fields is 'Name' (a text field). 'Name' can be one of 6 different values. I have a form which has 6 check boxes, one for each name. I'm using check boxes on the form rather than a multiple selection list box simply because I think it looks better.
When the user has checked one or more of the check boxes and hits the 'show results' button, I want the query to open up with the details for orders associated with the name(s) selected.
I am writing my query in 'design view' rather than in 'SQL view', and don't know what to put in the criteria box of the 'Name' field. Depending on which check boxes are checked, I'm building a string and storing it in a text box, called Text1. I think the best way to do the filter is to use the In operator, and I currently have a structure like this in the criteria of the query: In([Forms]![Form1]![Text1]). This, however, doesn't give any results.
The problem I have, therefore, is that I don't know the correct syntax for the text within Text1. If I have, for example "Rob","Dave" as the text in Text1, it doesn't work, but if I put In("Rob","Dave") in the criteria rather than referencing the text box, it works fine.
I have a table listing about 20 elements as field names eg FE, CR, NI, TI and so on.
I have built a form which has a combo box listing these elements by selecting "fields" in the property settings of the combo box & next to this combo box i have 2 text box's where the user can input Min & Max values to pass on to the query.
E.g., FE (chosen from the combo box) value between (Text box1) and Text box 2.
I can run the query to give me values between the 2 text box's by using the following formula in the criteria (Between textbox1 and textbox 2).
The issue i have is to be able to select the element from the listbox, input the min & max values identified and be able to pass this to a query so the query can filter based on the field and values passed?
perhaps it could be a fault in my PC; though I designed a form which depends on a selection-query and when I fill in the criteria in the selction query to look for a certain record, my form display stays empty. Even empty records won't be shown. Is this phenomenon occuring either normal in Access or is this problem related to the configurations of whether my query or relations.
It's already pissing me off the whole day,
so I would be very eager to know what's the solution,
I have a table called Prem. It contains three fields (Offer, MailCode, MktgProgam). I want to have a form where a user can select. the Offer (from the offer field) Once selected, it takes the MailCode and MktgProgam information from the Prem table and uses that info (MailCode, MktgProgram) to pull from the main table called "Cust" Is this doable?
I have a query with multiple fields that is being run off of 3 parameters (linked for selection in a form). The problem is, I wanted to enable a select all feature, so I included a "Or ... Is Null" part in my criteria section, so that when nothing is selected, the query/report returns all records.
Okay so the problem is whenever I run the query with nothing selected for the parameter and then return to design view for the query, a new field has been created in the query design, titled with the expression I use to pull the parameter value from the form. This is frustrating because then that is causing errors in another report I run that pulls values from that query.
