Hi
I have set up a form to run a query with the criteria linked to the options/drop down menus on the form. I am able to search for criteria set out in the combo boxes. However, what i would like to ensure is that if the drop down boxes are left blank the results will be to show 'all' results for that field.
help is greatly appreciated!
thanks in Advance!

I use this on most queries where I need to return all results if the form field is left blank. Works like a charm every time...
Like [Forms]![frm_main_menu]![Week] & "*" Or Is Null
except for this time..I need to filter by week number (52 weeks in a year)...problem is if I enter week "1" I also get weeks "10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19".
:o Okay. I have a frustrating one. This is embarassing to me, because it seems so easy. Anyways, I have a form, where a person could select up to 3 different months and up to 3 different paper types. These combo boxes are listed in the criteria of those fields in my query. If I use the form and try to run my query, it gives me blank results. If I run the query and fill in the pop ups that show up asking for the information that the form is referring to, and I type in the same information, I get the results I expected. What am I missing here? Please help before I go bald!!!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a switchboard which runs a google style search query to find people based on their first name, surname, date of birth or NI number on clicking the search button. It uses the following criteria in the query Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![Firstname] & "*" for each of the above fields.
This works perfectly until someone inputs a record that doesn't have anything in one of the fields. ie, full name and DoB, but no NI number. When a record is entered in this way, the table stores the record but the search query cannot find it.
Hi Folks,
I have answered my own question so I thought I would share as I couldn't find the solution in any posts. I confess that I don't understand why my results were wrong, but I managed to get them right. :rolleyes:
When using Dcount in a query, I was getting results which did not match the query results. For instance:
Phase_2: DCount("Project_Phase_ID","tbl_Prj_Details","Project_Phase_ID = 2")
gave an answer of 27 when there were in fact 41 projects in that phase.
Searching the forum I came accross this:
Count() always counts the entire domain.
So, Dcount is not counting the record set of my query but something else. I have 4 tables in the query and no idea what domain my dcount was looking at. I presume the various join types were messing with it somehow. :confused:
To get round this, I stripped out the Dcount expressions and changed the query to a make table. I then used the created table as the basis of a query in which I had my Dcounts. The dcount results now agree with the query recordset. :) :) :)
Any background on the bits I clearly don't understand will be gratefully received. I hope this helps someone else sometime.
Kind regards,
Keith.
I have a query that selects from a table base on 3 entries (Name, BeginDate and EndDate) and should show me 12 other columns and their entries... I have 9 entries for a particular Name, but when i run the query i get 15 results. Some are duplicated but others are not and I don't know where to begin narrrowing it down. Any ideas where to start?

Hi ,
I am using Access Application with Orcale Db as backend and this application is already in production.
The problem is.. USers Complained that the system is slow, this is because there is refresh (requery) for each Insert (When they click submit, that particular record is inserted and then a refresh has to be done to bring only unused member IDs on the User screen), i had used a Sql query using NOT IN , then i realized and now changed it to NOT EXISTS, but with this new query , if i test recordset. EOF , even though the query returns more than 13000 ..records, EOF sets to TRUE and the other part (not supposed to) gets executed. I really cant figure out why, i took the same query put it in query builder in Access and ran it , it gave 13000 records..but in VBA , this recordset is not giving expected results and so..i am totally confused..The part of the Code is shown below.
Code:newquery = " SELECT A.MEMBER_ID, A.MEMBER_NAME, A.ADDRESS_LINE1.................. FROM TABLE A WHERE NOT Exists ( SELECT '' FROM TABLE B where A.MEMBER_ID =B.MEMBER_ID)AND A.MATCH_LEVEL <> 0 ORDER BY A.MATCH_LEVEL DESC"rst1.Open newquery, Cnt, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimisticIf rst1.EOF = False ThenForm_PHS_ASSIGN.RequeryForm_PHS_ASSIGN_SUB.RequeryElse MsgBox " No records to Process!" End If
EVEn though it should requery , it gives a message No records to process which is wrong. It works with NOT IN.... BUT VERY SLOW, NOT EXISTS IS FAST BUT DOES NOT GIVE ME WHAT I WANT..
Where am i going wrong..help pls!!!!
THANKS VERY MUCH!!
I am finishing up a database that logs basic activities/tasks for my coworkers. As they go in to the database and log an activity in it stays open until they end their day or they start a new task. All this works fine, but the problem comes when I try to determine the total time spent (in hours) on each activity/task. I have written similar queries before and they worked just fine, but for some reason I am having trouble getting this one to work. Here is the expression I'm using...
Time Diff (in hrs): DateDiff("h",[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_In],[Sample_TM_Table_1]![Time_Out])
Unfortunately, say Time_In = 8:32:38 am and Time_Out = 8:33:03 am
The expression says that is equal to 946632.
For another Time_In = 8:33:00 am and Time_Out = 3:18:19 PM.
The expression says this equals 946639.
I have tried changing the format of the date/time in both Time_In and Time_Out fields to ensure they were the same and cross checked the expression but still get the same answers each time. Even when I try to use "n" for the interval or "s" it is still highly incorrect. The only thing that makes me think I still have a formatting issue is that the Time_In shows a long date on the results table while Time_Out shows it in a general date format. However, when I go into both the table and the queries to check the formatting they both show general date. Any ideas? I'm all out! Thanks in advance.
I have a DB and I have a button that triggers the find and replace. this will search over 100K entries and filter a specific client. The clients record can be 100's of entries.
This all works fine, but its always ascending and I have to scroll to the bottom for the latest record.
I can't set it to show Descending permanently as some employees can't cope with change. so...
I have a checkbox on my form for either Ascending or descending results. Is there any way I can get the find / replace to reference it, Or can I re-sort them after the search.
I've tried putting re-sort code on the 'find' button as lostfocus and mouseup but it doesn't work.
I am wanting to ensure that a couple of combo boxes are not left empty, searching the forum I found this:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull([cboBox1]) Or IsNull([cboBox2]) Then
Beep
MsgBox "Please enter a value etc ", vbCritical, "Incomplete Data Entry"
DoCmd.CancelEvent
End If
End Sub
This is similar to other solutions I came across, problem is it isn't working, I have 2 controls on my form called cboBox1 & cboBox2 so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Hi guys, I have a query that displays records that fall between 2 dates (using 2 input text fields). How can I make it dispaly all records if the user just leaves the dates blank?
I've searched through some forums and found that I can make this happen by using IS NOT NULL. But when I tried putting it in the OR row in my date field (and all other places), the result is that the query displays all records that have a date value regardless of my other filters.
Can anyone point me in the right direction where I should actually place the IS NOT NULL? I attached my Query view for easier understanding.
Thanks a lot!
I am creating a query which uses 2 unbound text boxes to populate a Between function for 2 date fields. If I fill in the dates, it returns the corresponding data. If I leave them blank, however, it returns no records. Is there an easy way to tweak the query to return all records if left blank?

Hi all,
I am having a problem getting my query to work properly. I have read through this query section but it just got me more confused. I know some have used IIF function but it didn't work for me.
here's my code:
SELECT tblEmployee.UserName, tblODF.ODFNumber, tblQueue.Queue, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate
FROM tblStatus INNER JOIN (tblQueue INNER JOIN (tblEmployee INNER JOIN tblODF ON tblEmployee.EmployeeID = tblODF.EmployeeID) ON tblQueue.QueueID = tblODF.QueueID) ON tblStatus.StatusID = tblODF.StatusID
ORDER BY tblEmployee.UserName, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate;
I want everything to show even if one of the fields is blank.
Thank you
Hello Don,
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am a bit of a novice when it comes to Access, but have managed to create a form with a subform embedded and various filters to show different data within the subform, including a date range filter. The code I have used for these filters is as follows:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = createCriteria("[Introductions].Town", "List78")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Ownership", "List52")
strCriteria = strCriteria & " and " & createCriteria("[Introductions].Company", "List54")

This all works fine, but I'm wondering what I need to add to this code to make it so that if the date boxes are left blank, records from all dates are displayed. At the moment I have to enter dates in order for it to work properly.
I have a query that will sort groups of zip codes using the following expression: Between [T_ZipRange]![StartZip] And [T_ZipRange]![EndZip]. The first and last zip codes are entered and the expression returns the zip codes between the "start" and "end" range. The problem is that if a zip code is only 5 digits: xxxxx- instead of xxxxx-xxxxx, the zip code will show up in other sorts. The zip code field is a text field. How can I limit the sort, based on the number of digits in the zip code?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use DCount to count the number of records (speakers) for each session. Not being very savvy with DCount, I copied code that I had working for another instance of needing to count the number of records.

I have a unique query which lists all the films that we are screening over the next 3 months. I have added a COUNT field so that I can see how many of each films we are screening.
The problem is that i get duplicates of some films - and this may be because we may hold several copies of some films. I have attached two images which might explain this better!
What I could do with is knowing how to make it so that i get a list of films booked and how many of each, regardless of which copy of the film is used.
The SQL is:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCTROW dbo_Films.[film name], Count(dbo_Films.[film name]) AS [CountOffilm name]
FROM ((dbo_Films INNER JOIN dbo_filmCopies ON dbo_Films.ID = dbo_filmCopies.tblFilms_ID) INNER JOIN dbo_EventsFlicks ON dbo_filmCopies.ID = dbo_EventsFlicks.filmCopyID) INNER JOIN dbo_Venues ON dbo_EventsFlicks.venueID = dbo_Venues.ID
WHERE (((dbo_EventsFlicks.datefield)>=#8/1/2015# And (dbo_EventsFlicks.datefield)<#1/1/2016#))
GROUP BY dbo_Films.[film name], dbo_Venues.southhub, dbo_Venues.northhub, dbo_Films.Specilaised
ORDER BY dbo_Films.[film name];
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
Hi All
I'm currently working on a product catalogue, i have a product data screen (frmProductLookup) one of the field s i have is "Replacement" for when a product is superseeded. What i want to achieve is to be able to click on a button and open a second product data screen that automatically goes to the record for the replacement product.
I've currently tried creating a duplicate data form (frmProductLookup2) and used the openform wizard, but for some reason this pulls up a blank record...any ideas
cheers.
Hi!
I've written a querry - and the results that come back dont look right. Some rows have data in and others dont.
Has anyone seen something similar?
Does this mean that the data are probably incorrect?
Any advise?
A.
I import data through different files into a table, the data comes in different formats. I have a problem sometimes some records have double quotation marks and carriage returns. I know how to replace them as
Carriage Returns
Replace([FieldName],Chr(13) & Chr(10),""
Double Quotation Marks
Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),""
But if i want to use an iif statement because in the field there could be a Double Quotation Mark or Carriage return then it does not find the record
iif([FieldName] like Chr(34),Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),"",[FieldName])
I currently have two tables each containing information that I need to complete a query, however the results of suming this information is incorrect.
Below is the structure of the table, one contains more fileds than the other however the joins are on the Date and the Name fields. I have added a few dummy results to show the format
Table 1
"Date" "Name" "Times Logged In"
10/01/2013 Chris 1
11/01/2013 James 3
Table 2
"Date" "Region" "Manager Name" "Name" "Times Logged Out"
10/01/2013 Scotland Cindy Chris 1
11/01/2013 Wales Robert James 2
Query Fields
"Data" "Region" "Name" "SUM Times Logged In" "SUM Times Logged Out"
I can see what the issue is, if someone hasnt logged out there would be no entry in the table so the result query would show "Times Logged In" as X and a blank value at "Times Logged Out." However if there is a value at "Times Logged Out", "Times Logged In" is displayed again and causes the SUM calculations to be incorrect.
how do I overcome this issue though? I can do two spereate queries on the tables to produce results for Times Logged In and Times Logged Out but cant seem to create one query to display both these results in one table.
What I want is IF the date in Table 2 = Date in Table 1 AND IF Name in Table 2 = Name in Table 1 THEN take the value from Logged In and place that in a column and the value from Logged Out and place that in a column.
I'm having problems doing a left join with 3 fields. I know I don't need the 3 fields for this example to align the data but, I deal with much more than this and need this functionality.
The query object I'm looking into is named 'left join' and the sql is as follows:
SELECT Act_Base.CustID, Act_Base.Chipset_ID, Act_Base.Product, Act_Base.Qtr, Act_Base.Qty AS Shipments, SE_Base.Qty AS SE
FROM Act_Base LEFT JOIN SE_Base ON (Act_Base.Product = SE_Base.Product) AND (Act_Base.Qtr = SE_Base.Qtr) AND (Act_Base.CustID = SE_Base.CustID);
I'm expecting to see 150 units in the SE.Qty field.
