Is it possible to limit the type of data that can be entered in a query that has a LIKE criteria?
( Like [Enter Data] & "*")
limit to two digits or any number of digits, or limit to numbers only or letters only. .
I have an update query for tGLCashAccount where it adds a value from another table with the BeginningBalance to arrive at CurrentBalance.
Here's what it looks like in design view:
Field: CurrentBalance
Table: tGLCashAcct
Update to: [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance]
Here is SQL code:
UPDATE tGLCashAcct, tMakeNewCashBal SET tGLCashAcct.CurrentBalance = [tMakeNewCashBal].[TotalPrice]+[tGLCashAcct].[BeginningBalance]
WHERE (((tGLCashAcct.GLCashAcctID)="102"));
I get the error: data type mismatch in criteria expression when I run it.
I am getting this error in a query. The field generating the error is a calculated field using a custom function.The function is:
Code:
Public Function DecimalTime(dblEvalTime As Double) As Double
DecimalTime = Hour(dblEvalTime)
DecimalTime = DecimalTime + (Minute(dblEvalTime) / 60)
DecimalTime = DecimalTime + ((Second(dblEvalTime) / 60) / 60)
DecimalTime = Round(DecimalTime, 2)
End Function
The dbalEvalTime parameter is passed in to the function as (DateIn+TimeIn)-(DateOut+TimeOut).
So the data type passed in is Double and the Function result is Double. The criteria i am applying in the query is simply <0.01. I have formatted the query field as #.00, 0.00 and General Number but it makes no difference.
I have also tried creating a second query using the first as its data source and applying the criteria in that query but still get the same error. Without the criteria the query runs fine.
I have a query which runs fine until I set a criteria (of True) in the field
Code:
chase_it: prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date()
So without the criteria, I have
Code:
SELECT prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date() AS chase_it, practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date
FROM practice_bacs
WHERE (((practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date)>#1/31/2013#));
and in the query results I see 0 and -1 as expected for the 'chase_it' expression BUT When I add True (or -1, or 0) as a criteria for 'chase_it', I get the "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" error.So the sql that fails is
Code:
SELECT prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date() AS chase_it, practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date
FROM practice_bacs
WHERE (((prevwd([practice_bacs_submission_date])<Date())=True) AND ((practice_bacs.practice_bacs_submission_date)>#1/31/2013#));
In case it's relevant, my function prevwd is:
Code:
Function prevwd(dt As Date) As Date
10 On Error GoTo prevwd_Error
20 dt = dt - 1
30 While Weekday([dt]) = 1 Or Weekday([dt]) = 7 Or IsBankHoliday(dt)
[code]...
and this function is used extensively and always works perfectly. I have tried using DateAdd instead of dt = dt - 1, but that made no difference.
I am attempting my first access database which tracks blood components in our medical facility. When a component is issued to a patient there is a button to push which links to a report that runs a query. The user must enter the unique key for the component at a promt, which ensures the report generated will be for that component only. My question is if there is a way to cpture and use that key automatically when pressing the button. If I need to clarify something, please let me know--I may not have the Access developer lingo down yet...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on a fairly ancient manufacturing database that identifies items using a combination of letters and numbers. The usual format is to have a letter (which suggests something about the item type) followed by a sequence of numbers.
I am trying to write a query that looks up all the records beginning with a prefix or arbitrary length, strips away the text, and finds the highest number.
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix
FROM tblItemIDCrossReference
WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True)
This query produces the error given in the title of this thread, whilst the following works:
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix
FROM tblItemIDCrossReference
WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,5)=True)
This related query also works and shows a load of -1s and 0s correctly
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix,
IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True) As Alias
FROM tblItemIDCrossReference
WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND
But once again shows the error message when I try to filter the field Alias to -1 or 0 only through the right-click menu.I have tried piping Len(LocalID)-1 through CLng, CInt, Int, CDbl and CSng; this changes the error to 'Invalid Use Of Null' I have also tried removing the '=True' from the IsNumeric() term.
Query1:
Src: Table1 joined Table2
ID (Type Text)
Title (Type Text)
Remarks(Type Text)
Formatted: FormatTitle([title],[Remarks])
Expr1: InStrRev([Formatted], "~")
public functionFormatTitle(ByVal sTitle as String, ByVal sRemarks as String) as String
'do process code here very complicated an long, but works find in the end
'creates a Multi-String delimited by | (pipe)
end function
The above works, and Expr1 does give an accurate value for the position of a "~" (tilde) in the string Created by the FormatTitle() function.
However, If I put a Criteria >0 on Expr1 it asks for the value of the [Formatted] field as if it was a parameter. If I put a criteria for Formatted: Like "*~*" I get a Data Type Mismatch in Query Criteria
Query2:
Src: Query1
Title (Type Text)
Remarks (Type Text)
Formatted(Type Text)
Exr1 (Type Number) criteria >0
This Query Also produces the Data Type Mismatch in Query Criteria
pardon me, but WTF? If it isn't a STring, than InStrRev() should produce an error, not an accurate response, and if InStrRev() produces a number why can't i compare it to 0 (zero)? This is indubitably messed up that I'm getting this error. There is no data type mismatch, on either of these tests, one is a string and I criteria-limit it by a string operation, the other is a number and I criteria limit it by a number, WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
Thanks

I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
Hello
I have an access 2003 db. I have a csv file that regularly downloads from a propietary system. This file contains about 18,000 records. Some customers have more than one record so there are about 7000 customers. I have linked this table to access to benefit from the regular download changes.
About 150 of these customers are accounts I want to filter out of my db. I tried a query criteria Cust# Not "(Cust#) or (Cust#) and so on. Access will not let me have this many in my query. Is there another way?
I'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.
I basically have General Date field (e.g. 10/1/2014 6:34:11 PM) and I want to limit the results to only a specific month and only to show reuslts after 6PM. I tried everything and still stuck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to construct a crosstab that averages a calculated field from a previous query. It is returning a "Data Type Mismatch" message.
The field I am trying to average is a subtraction of dates to find total days. I assume my field is not a number so I have tried to wrap it in CDbl() to change the type.
The formula is
Code:
CASE_DAYS: CDbl(IIf([Actual Close Date]-[Creation Date]>=0,[Actual Close Date]-[Creation Date],""))
I am getting the error "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" when I put sorting on the following field in a query:
3 Month Date: DateAdd("m",+3,[Current Date])
If I remove sorting the query works fine. When I add sorting to this column in the query design grid, I get the error message.
Any ideas?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set a recordset, and I keep getting this data type mismatch error, but I cannot see what the problem is. Here's my code:
Set rstAccounts = dtbCurrent.CreateQueryDef("", "SELECT [Account ID], [Balance] FROM tblAccounts WHERE [Account ID]='" & txtAccountID.Value & "';").OpenRecordset
txt.AccountID.Value is 1, and when I hard code the value as 1 it works, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've tried using CStr() to convert it to a string, CInt() to convert it to a integer (even though it already is one), with using both quotes, with only double quotes, and with only single quotes. It's driving me crazy, because i'm sure it's something really simple, but I'm not sure what else to try.
Thanks in advance.
I tried to word the title as accurately as possible.
What I'm trying to build is a Form where they can select data in different fields to limit (filter) the list. In my query criteria I want to read the form, if there's a value use THAT in the criteria (for that field) otherwise ignore it.
I've tried isnulls etc. If I put a value (like City) it properly returns all the records with that city, however if I put nothing the "ISNULL" returns a value that the criteria doesn't match i.e. I get nothing.
There must be a way to tell a query to NOT use any criteria if an object (form!field) is blank...?
The error I'm getting is "data type mismatch in criteria expression".

I am creating a simple query in a farm audit database.

Hi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
Help anyone
I have a small database which lists delegates for courses.
I have a venue which will hold only a small amount of people
is there a way of stopping data entry when it gets to a certain point. ie putting a limit on how many columns can be entered on a single table
I am looking to run a query in Access that will limit the number of records for each criteria.
example:
>10 years count 300
1-3 years count 100
4-6 years count 200
6-10 years count 250
can limit the amount in one query or have to do the criteria separate?
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
