Queries :: Create Query That Takes Values From Search Form And Provides Records
May 5, 2015
I am trying to create a query that takes values from a search form and provides records. I was having issues with getting results when some boxes on the form were left blank. I found a solution to that and it worked with a small number of fields. However when I make the full form query (about 8-10 fields) and run it says the query is too complex. I wrote the sql as I could not get designer to do what I wanted. Attached is the sql that works and that which is "too complex".
I am trying to create a query to append new records from my NEW database into my old excel database.....
The old DB has 4-5 extra tabs that the NEW database does not have so when I append, in those extra columns the new database will just have blank records since the column doesn't exist.
Usually I do a append query in design view. but sometimes it gets funny because it creates duplicates...
How would I go about it, so its quicker and persistent like creating a macro excel.
I'm trying to create a query that can sum values of different fields in different tables...Can I sum values of a field and put the result into another field in different table?
I'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass ------- -------- --------- A123 Apple Fruit A123 Apple Fruit A123 Grape Fruit A456 Potato Vegetable A456 Potato Perishable A789 Carrot Vegetable A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
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 am trying to create a query in Access 2010 for records that don't match based on the following criteria. I have two tables with identical ID's and I need to do a comparison on the amount field between both tables and only return the records from one table displaying all fields plus the amount fields that do not equal. I tried this in the wizard unsuccessfully.
Hi, I am a complete idiot with VB/SQL/*anything for that matter*
Made an unbound form to search and retrieve records from a query (parameter query) (for property listings)
I've got the following fields in my "Search_Form"
1) Project (combo box pulls data from projects table) 2) Size (from - to) 3) Rate (from - to) 4) Date (from - to) 5) Price (from - to)
I've set variables for each field .... VAR_sizeFROM....... VAR_sizeTO etc.
Now here's my problem.
1) How do use VB to send the user inputs from my "Search_Form" to "Search_Query". And is it possible for either of the search fields to be blank in the form?
2)How can I do the same for a report?
Please help, I've been stuck with this for some time..
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.
does access have the ability to create a query where all records are present, all fields are present, yet some data within some fields aren't displayed?
I have three tables, tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicles. I have a form called frmPeople that shows a single person record, and has subforms with the list of addresses and vehicles for that person (each record has several). I want to create a single search form with each of the fields in my tblPeople, tblAddresses and tblVehicle tables, and allow the user to type anything into any of the fields on the search form, and have the search form fetch records that match.
So far, I have the query built, and the tables all linked the right way (I think), and I have all the search fields coded. And it works GREAT... except for this one little issue: If I do a search, and I put "Smith" in the last name field, I will get several Smiths in my search result, one for each address and vehicle combination. In other words, if I have ONE Smith in the table, and two vehicles and two addresses for that Smith, the query results give me FOUR Smiths! One with Vehicle1 and Address1, one with Vehicle2 and Address1, one with Vehicle1 and Address2, and one with Vehicle2 and Address2.
What I would LIKE is to have ONE record in the query results, and that record shows me that one Smith. And if I then search for "Plymouth" in the VehicleType field, and I have Smith in the name field, I'll get ONE record, and it will be the one of Smith with his Plymouth (Vehicle2).
Here is how my query looks right now (this one ONLY has the last name and vehicle search function to save space), and this is the one that gives me multiple results (which I do NOT want, unless multiple PEOPLE match the search criteria):
Code: SELECT DISTINCTROW tblPeople.LastName, tblPeople.FirstName, tblPeople.PersonID, tblAddresses.Address, tblVehicles.Vehicle, tblVehicles.Plate, tblVehicles.VehicleYear FROM tblPeople LEFT JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.PersonID = tblAddresses.PersonID WHERE (((tblPeople.LastName) Like "*" & [NameField] & "*") AND ((tblVehicles.Vehicle) Like "*" & [VehicleField]));
This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.
So, I've been searching through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to this one. I would like to capture a value from a main form and have it used as a value in an append query, in order to populate a subform based on the main form, like so:
INSERT INTO tblTakenSurveys ( VisitID, SurveyQuestionID, ResponseCodeID) SELECT Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID, tblSurveyQuestions.SurveyQuestionID, 66 FROM SurveyQuestions WHERE SurveyID = 3;
Might help to explain some of the terms in this statement: tblTakenSurveys is where I need the new data to be entered via the subform. Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID is a textbox control bound to a PK in another table that has a one-to-many relationship with tblTakenSurveys. tblTakenSurveys.ResponseCodeID is a foreign key that represents respondents actual answers to questions. 66 is a value for a ResponseCodeID that stands for a dummy value meaning "data not yet entered"
As per advice I received from others on this forum, I have set a query like the above to run from a command button to populate the subform (in theory). But I'm sure I've done something wrong within the query because it will not return a value from the form "VisitID" control and therefore will not append the rows. Without the appended rows, my subform will not populate. And this has me running in circles...
I pasted the link to another thread below, where I originally received a lot of input as far as the table structure. I did not start this one, but my posts are the most recent (as of now anyway). Pat Hartman had given me a lot of the guidance here.
I am creating a database for users that no nothing about access nor do they want to learn. So the database needs to be as simple as possible.
This being the case I would like to avoid users from creating/editing querys.
I would like to have a form that would run the append query. The query would have a date column and a status column that the query would filter.
The query would have a criteria for status that would equal to "BACKED OUT" and the date would need to link to the two text fields on the form. My problem is writing the VBA code to make the query append in the background.
For sake of argument: Query = qryappend Form = frmappend Table = tblappend
I have built a search form to feed information to a query. The form uses combo boxes tied to table values, and all have wild cards built into them so if the user leaves the combo box they get all the records. I also have to text boxes representing start date and end date. I would like to allow the user to leave these blank and get all there as well. I have been looking through my one Access book, as well as searched all over the internet, but I cant seem to find the way to do this. My filter criteria for the text based combo boxes are like this:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![Company] & "*"
My filter criteria for the Start and End Dates looks like this:
Code: Between [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![StartDate] And [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![EndDate]+#11:59:59 PM#
In this case of the user leaves the date values blank, the query returns nothing. I would like to return all dates if that is the case. I am assuming it is my lack of knowledge of wild cards and how they work with date values.
I have made a database for work and is fully functional, but theres one thing I want to add but cant get my head around how to do it.
I have created a Form called 'Filtered Search', on the form it has multiple combo boxes for 'Auditors' 'Area' 'Status' and 2 text boxes for date range.
I want to be able to set what filters I want, and for the query to ignore any fields with no information selected/inputted (i.e. I want to see all records raised by "Mr Smith" (Auditor) that are still 'Active' (Status) in all areas at any time).
Names of items;
Table = 'Incidents' Form = 'Filtered Search' Report = 'Filtered Report' Auditor = 'Combo7' Status = 'Combo156' Area = 'Combo5' Date Range From = 'Text161' Date Range To = 'Text163'
I need to create a form that using combo boxes selects a product-size-quantity, and then calculates total price.I asume that I create a query to make the calculation from the form, but for the life of me, I can't fathom out how to do it.
hello, i know i have seen example from here, nome of them seems to help. My is just a simple search. i have 4 tables: Artist Name, title, country and location
all i want is create a form that has a search. I want to type the artist name and it lists the country of the artist. How to i do this. I create the command button and text box but it just does not work.
This is the code i use on the command.
Quote: Private Sub ButtonSearchForRecords_Click() Dim StringQuery As String Dim StringWhere As String StringWhere = "" If Not (TextBoxSearchName = "") Then StringWhere = StringWhere & "AND [Name] = '" & TextBoxSearchName & "' " End If StringWhere = Right$(StringWhere, Abs(Len(StringWhere) - 4)) StringQuery = "SELECT [Name], [Title], [Country], [Location] " _ & "FROM [2-75TH SCAR] WHERE " & StringWhere _ & "ORDER BY [Name], [Country]" Me.ListBoxRecordsFoundInSearch = StringQuery Me.ListBoxRecordsFoundInSearch.Requery End Sub
I have a table - (Table A) that has 2 fields X and Y. I would like to write a query or script to make two new tables based on the unique values found in field X. In other words, all data where field X = 1 would be written to a new table called "1" and all data wehre field X =2 would be written to a new table called "2".I would like this done automatically.
Table A Field X Field Y 1 a 1 b 1 c 1 d 2 a 2 b 2 c
I have a form that has a dropbox list and I want the values of the form to change according to the value in the dropbox.For example:
When the dropbox contains the value A, The form would display x=1, y=2, z=3.
When the dropbox contains the value B, The form would display x=4, y=5, z=6.
I managed to create a query that opens the QUERY's results according to the value in the dropbox but I can't managed to run the query in the form, return the values according to the query and display them in the form.
I searched the internet and found many options including the Dcount command but I don't think it fits my case..I know I have to write something in the AfterUpdate field of the dropbox but I just can't figure out what it is...
We have a small business and i do all the admin. I've created a database of all our contacts (name, address, phone number, fax number, etc) and i've managed to create a form that allows me to enter the data into that instead of directly into the database window.
The last thing i want to do is create a search form or add a button to my existing data entry form that will allow me to type in a contacts name, address, or any other thing about them i remember at the time, and be taken straight to that entry. Once this is done that is all i need to know for the moment.
I've tried an example i found on microsoft's site but can't get it to work properly.
Can anybody help. I'd imagine this is very very simple but i can not get the answer myself.
I am using msAccess to develop a small application. I have 2 tables, student and course, and I need to create a form with 3 fields - by_id, by_date, by_course_id
This form can generate a view only table according to the field the user entered.
Can anyone help me on this? What's the step to do so?
