I have 2 tables called MakeTable1 and DBO_TBL_Activity
Im trying to update MakeTable1 with the values from TBL_Activity when both activity.StartDate and maketable1.Dates match but also acticity.IDStaff and Maketable1.ID Match
Below is the SQL i have so far
Code:
UPDATE [MakeTable1].[Detailsa] SET [dbo_tbl_activity].[details]
WHERE [MakeTable1.Dates)=[dbo_tbl_activity].[StartDate] AND [MakeTable1].[id]=[dbo_tbl_activity].[idstaff]);
My issue is that I am trying to update a date field. When I do the date field may have a date or may be a null. When I try to pass in a NULL date with no quotes, I get a syntax error. When I have single quotes in the statement and a null value is passed in, I get an invalid use of date.
Dim DENIEDDATE1 As Date If (Not IsDate(rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE"))) Then DENIEDDATE1 = Null Else DENIEDDATE1 = "'" & rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE") & "'" End If
update table1 set table1.denieddate = " & denieddate1 & " 'get Update syntax error with this statement update table1 set table1.denieddate = '" & denieddate1 & "' 'fails due to invalid use of null
If anymore info is required please tell me, but basically i can insert into the database no problems , but when it comes to updating what is in there i recieve the above error
I'm trying to replace a null value with $0.00 for the second field in a query. My first try at the SELECT stmt did not contain any solution for a NULL value. The result was that it skipped the record. I need it to show 0.00 because the field is used in another calculated field.
My SQL:
SELECT tblRecovery.CustID, IF((Sum([tblRecovery.RecAmt]) IS NULL, 0.00, (Sum([tblRecovery.RecAmt]))) AS SumOfRecAmt FROM tblRecovery GROUP BY tblRecovery.CustID;
This returns : Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'IF(( etc.
After clicking "OK", access highlights AS in the statement. I'm not sure how to deal with the NULL value or fix the error?
ITINERANT: IIf([Day and Time1] Is Not Null,[Day and Time1],IIf([Day and Time2] Is Not Null,[Day and Time2],IFF([Day and Time 3] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 3],IFF([Day and Time 4] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 4],IFF([Day and Time 5] Is Not Null,[Day and Time 5]," ")))))
I'm getting the error message: Syntax error (missing operator).
I'm not very good at using the IIF statement.
I have 5 concatenated fields that may or may not have info.
I want to display all of the info or if blank; show nothing in the one field.
Also, would I be able to have a return after each of the 5 concatenated fields?Not sure how to do that in this statement?
I'm trying to run a very basic iif statement to correct hourly data for sorting. Basically, a trading day runs from 8am - 8am, so I need to adjust the hours to ensure that 1am on the 15th trading day (really the 16th on the calendar), comes after 9am on the 15th trading day (which will actually be the 15th on the calendar).
Here's what I've used. It's driving me bananas, because it keeps telling me that there's a syntax error (comma) in the query expression, but I can't understand why?
SELECT Costs.Costs_Per_Capita, Costs.Period IIF (Period = 1, (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 1), (Select AVG(Costs_Per_Capita) From Costs Where Period = 2) AS result FROM Costs;
But get "syntax error (missing operator) in a query expression ..."
IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status
Can you have IIF statement in the query expression? because it said "Syntax error in string in the above query expression".
The full codes i have in the form load is Private Sub Form_Load() strSQL = "SELECT [Jobs].JobID, [SubJobs].IndustryNo, [SubJobs].ClientNo, [SubJobs].JobNo, [SubJobs].SubJobNo, IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status" strSQL = strSQL & " FROM [SubJobs] INNER JOIN [Jobs] ON ([SubJobs].JobNo = [Jobs].JobNo) AND ([SubJobs].ClientNo = [Jobs].ClientNo) AND ([SubJobs].IndustryNo = [Jobs].IndustryNo)" strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE ((([SubJobs].Status) = -1))"
What is the syntax error in this Insert Into statement ?
INSERT INTO RawData(RunID,fullName,name,category,type,subType, numberOfLines,virtual,date,namespace) SELECT 257 ,fullName,name,category,type,subType,numberOfLines ,virtual,#1/3/2007#,namespace FROM RawData WHERE namespace ='customer.demo' AND RunID =256
I'm new to working with Access Iif statements. I'm attempting to change data values in an existing table for column named "Status." Some of the data in this column has the correct value (Active) that needed represented, while the rest is populated with either a "J" which is Active or "T" which is inactive. I needed an update query that will ignore any values that are already "Active," and convert any values that are "J" to Active and values that are "T" to "Non Active." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the function I have written that's full of syntax errors:
IIf(([STATUS] T,"T") = "T", then "Non Active"), IIf([STATUS] J,"J") = "J" then "Active"), else Active = "Active"))
Code: If Nz(DCount("*", "[Tblupdate]")) = 0 Then ' The count is zero i = 1 Else i = DMax("ID", "tblupdate") End If Dim ssql As String Dim j, k As String j = "P" & i k = Environ("username") ssql = "Insert into tblUpdate(Update_ID,Date,Username) values('" & j & "',#" & Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#,'" & k & "')" CurrentDb.Execute ssql, dbFailOnError
Anybody see anything wrong the syntax for the below query. I'm trying set up this query to pass a string to 'struser' for multiple users. I'm getting 'Syntax error in FROM clause'. Thanks ! ! !
Dim strSQL As String Dim struser As String struser = "MIKE" Set db = CurrentDb() Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryUser") strSQL = "SELECT Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code," & _ "Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Name," & _ "Salable_Figures.Lastname_Sort," & _ "Salable_Figures.Team, Salable_Figures.Plan," & _ "Salable_Figures.Monthly_SCountOfLoan_Program_Code AS Monthly_SCount, " & _ "Salable_Figures.Monthly_SSumOfNote_Amount," & _ "Salable_Figures.Salable_Monthly_Goal," & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SCountOfLoan_Program_Code AS Yearly_SCount," & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SSumOfNote_Amount AS Yearly_SSumOfNote_Amount, " & _ "Salable_Figures.YTD_SSumOfNote_Amount AS Yearly_SSumOfNote_Amount," & _ "Salable_Figures.Yearly_Salable AS Yearly_Salable_Goal " & _ "FROM Salable_YTD_Figures INNER JOIN Salable_Figures" & _ "ON Salable_YTD_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code = Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code " & _ "WHERE Salable_Figures.Loan_Originator_Code)=" & struser & _ "';'" ' Apply the new SQL statement to the query qdf.SQL = strSQL ' Open the query DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUser"

Can I use the Like command in an If Then statement? I'm getting a syntax error
If [Primary1Name] Like 'PO*' Then MsgBox "You cannot use a post office box address. Use a residence address.", vbOKOnly, "Incorrect Address Information" DoCmd.GoToControl "Primary1Address1" Else End If

I have a website which uses a series oif ASP/VBscript scripts to access and update an Access database. It has run for years on a shared commercial service.I also have a replica of the wesbite on my home pc for development and testing running under XP Pro and IIS. All works fine.
Recently I have had to switch my home setup to my laptop (also XP Pro and IIS). The scripts all appear to work ok except when I try to UPDATE certain tables.
Some give "Syntax error in UPDATE statement." Some give "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." Some work without error
Yet the identical script and table on the main site and my home PC work fine and have done for years.
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
Set rstSimple = cnnSimple.Execute("SELECT sponser2 FROM data2")
Do While Not rstSimple.EOF spo=rstSimple.Fields("sponser2").Value set tamt = cnnsimple.Execute("SELECT SUM(amount1) FROM data1 WHERE sponser1='"&spo&"' ") Set rstSimple1 = cnnSimple.Execute("UPDATE data2 SET amount2= "&tamt(0)&" WHERE sponser2='"&spo&"' ") rstSimple.MoveNext Loop
I think this is propably an easy thing to do, but nevertheless I have not been able to make it work in MS Access...
(Let's say) I have a table with information about people. Sometimes I need to get a subgroup of the table_people, like a group with a certain age, or who live in a certain area, or who like certain things. And sometimes a need to work with the whole table.
To be able to do this basic filtering I have a form with check boxes, like "check this if you want to filter by a persons hobby" and appropriate fields where to choose a hobby from a list. My problem is: how do I add this "condition" to my query? I've tried eg. using "Like" as a filtering tool and IIF() to add the condition, but this doesn't work (in the criteria row):
Like (IIF( Forms![basic]![Filter_by_hobby] , "[Forms]![basic]![Hobby_from_list]", "*"))
So the idea is that if the box is checked, the condition is true and the first text is chosen, and if no filtering by hobby is required, all people are chosen regardless of their hobbies (Like "*") How to fix this - is there a syntax error or a profound mistake in my thinking - or how to do the same more elegantly?
This query works and I can spot the record based on 3 fields and display it. Now I have discovered that we have a person who has an apostrophe in his name like O'Brian. The above code gives a syntax error in this case.
