Setting Query Criteria To Be 'blank' Depending On The Criteria Of A Combo Box

Oct 21, 2006

I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).

However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.

Any help would gratefully be appreciated. Thanks

Use Query Generated Field As Criteria For Another Query?

Apr 2, 2008

I am trying to use a single record and cell of data generated from a query as criteria in another query but can't figure out how to do it? Is there a way to reference a query field in the criteria in design view of another query?

Details:

I have a table of data for each month with supplier codes in each table, but no date field.

I am trying to build a query that will automatically pick the most recent month of data. I have built a query that uses an iif statement in SQL assigning a number to the most recent month of data and then I am using the max filter in that query to show the single highest number (But this logic misses suppliers some suppliers but does assign a number to the most recent set of data). In this case its 2 for february data. I want to use this digit to filter a seperate criteria that will show me all the supplier codes for the month of february. One problem is that some suppliers are in every month others, come and go throughout the year, so I have to assign this criteria for each month. Therefore I want to use the 2 from the first query and plug that into each criteria section under each month field of the second query.

The other option that I can think of but can't seem to find a fix, is to merge all 12 tables so there are duplicate entries and can have a date or number assigned for each month that the supplier code shows up, then just use the max number. I can't seem to find a way to add all the codes creating duplicates into one field. I used a union query but there are no duplicates with this method thus foiling my plan.

Please help
Thanks for reading

Criteria Query

May 10, 2007

Hi,
I hope someone will be able to help me with this one, I have a simple access query set-up which references to a table containing information about processed orders (From a ficticious company). I am trying to set up a query that will display all order placed within the last week. I have edited the criteria on the date filed to

Between Now() And Now()-"7"

Now this sort of works in that it filters the data, but it doesn't filter it by the day but by the year. i.e. Any order played within the last 7 years rather than the last 7 days. Any help much appreciated.
Sorry for being such a n00b,
Thanks for looking!
cheers

Help With Query Criteria

Aug 24, 2005

I'm developing a report whose query is linked to a resources table containing background info about each of the resources in my department. Currently, the query pulls data for all resources regardless of whether or not they're still employed by my organization. In the resources table there is a field called "end date." If a resource is no longer employed with the organization, we input their date of departure. I only want the report to show info for those employees currently employed with the organization. Hence, I must make note of this in the query. I've tried the following in the criteria box for the end field,however I continue to receive a data type mismatch error. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"Is Null"
<> "True"

Criteria Help In Query

Sep 19, 2005

I am trying to get all records that have been delinquent in any part for 45 days. Each record has these categories: G, SC, CL, O. Not all records have data in these categories.

Here's what I have:

I have an expression: Total: Sum([dtmGrec] - [dtmSent])
dtmGrec is the received date for this refund. I am using this to get the 45 days. I have an expression for each category.

The problem I'm coming across is that G may return a result of 100 days and SC returns a result of 4 days. Is there anyway that I can have the result for the SC show 0 or Null?

Thanks

Query Criteria Help?

Jan 31, 2006

hi,

I have to put a report together to send to our personnel department in regards to some one to one training i have been doing.

I have a database with the following fields:

Forename (text)
Surname (text)
basic training (yes/no)
basic training cpmplete (yes/no)
basic training date (date/time)
advanced training (yes/no)
advanced training date (date/time)
advanced training complete (yes/no)

The report i need to send must contain information on name, the type of training completed and the training date.

I have to send the report each week and it must not include any duplicate information from previous weeks (i.e. if a tutor has completed basic training a few weeks ago and have been included in previous report they don't need to be included in future reports).

Can anyone help me in setting up the query which the report will be based on???

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Jonathan

Criteria Query

Jul 24, 2006

I have a number of filters across the top (6 in total). I want to run any number of these filters and then only print the relevant records that pop-up after I pressed the search button. As you can see now I have searched for records that contain TSA. It shows 3 records from a total of 16.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g115/TomBP/Print.jpg

I had the following in mind but haven't got the knowledge to make it happen:

I need to build a query that picks up the criteria from the form. Then Build a report that is based on this query. So that the query only shows the records that are shown in the subform.

Someone already tried to help me and suggested that I filled in the following in my query:

Forms.[MyForm].[MyField] Or Like Forms.[MyForm].[MyField] Is Null

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g115/TomBP/printing.jpg

But my experience of such criteria is'nt all that so I don't know how to typ this so that it matches my database.

My subform = frmSubform
My mainform where the subform is located = frmSearch

I also uploaded my database to yourfilelink.com . If you want to have a look. It's only 200kb.

Using A Query Sum In Criteria

Sep 28, 2006

Hi guys,
I have a newbie question here.

I have a sum in my query, which sums the # of particular units, and want to compare it to a MinimumLevel field. I can get the query to display the Sum and the MinLevel fields, but I can't get them to compare each other and only display the correct results...!

I want to only show records where the SumofQuantity < MinLevel . (The reason I need the sum is because a unit has different lot numbers and have a record for each lot number)

How do I make the correct criteria ??

Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks

I'd like to only show records in my query that either have an address or an email. If both are empty, it shouldn't show up. I don't know how to go about doing it so it tells if one of the two is at least full. I tried Is Not Null And [Email] is not null, in the criteria for address, but this did not work.

Nov 6, 2007

I have a what I think should be a simple enough query, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. I have a report based off of a query which prompts the user to either enter a record number manually or simply use the record number for the current record being displayed as the default. My criteria is setup as [Enter Record Number] Or [Forms]![Formname]![RecordNumber]. This works fine if I let it default to the current record being displayed. The problem occurs when I manually enter a different record number than the record currently being displayed, it reports on both record numbers. Any suggestions:confused:

Query To Sum By Criteria

Jan 11, 2008

Hi,

The information I have in a table contains details of Vendor Name, Vendor Number, Amount Spent and then the organisation is given a classification according to what area of business they operate in from a standard code. There are about 350-400 codes in use to classify the type of business activity.

I need to produce a query/report that will sum all of the spend for each classification and display it in a report to enable me to focus on individual groups.

The table is organised

Vendor Number
Vendor Name
Amount
Key (5 digit indexer for the classifcation)
Code (8 digit code for classification)
Classification (Text based description)

All I need within the quqey is for the Amount and Key to be totalled, and Code and Classification to be shown on the report that I'll generate. I attempted to build a function from within Access using SQL Sum with the Amount and Key but it unfortunately didn't work.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Query With 2 Criteria

Mar 10, 2008

Once again in need of help.

I have a db with articles linked to the articles of a supplier. 1 of our articles can come from more then one supplier. So to make up my order, i choose the supplier and our article number and want to look it up in the db holding the supplier articles.
eg.:
our supplier supl. art.
2001 suplier 1 thx36
2001 supplier 2 895568
2002 suplier 1 TXX895

so the result for supl. 1 with 2001 would be thx36.
When i put this in a query i get an error, to few parameters, expected is 1.
Here is the code:

strSQL = "SELECT tblArtikelKopLev.Artikel, tblArtikelKopLev.Leveranciernummer, tblArtikelKopLev.ArtikelLev, tblArtikelKopLev.OmschrijvingLev FROM tblArtikelKopLev" & _
" WHERE ((tblArtikelKopLev.Artikel = " & strArtikel & ") AND (tblArtikelKopLev.Leveranciernummer = " & strLevnummer & "));"

Anybody any idea?

Thx

hello all,

I created a form to allow the user to enter in their own criteria with respect to the query I have setup. Here is my situation. I have a form with 3 text boxes "CenterName", "CourseNumber", and "Status" that correspond to the query and the criteria is setup to get information from text boxes on the form. Right now, I can type in either the center name, the course number, or the status. I cannot do center name and course number, or i can't do course number and status, etc... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Query Criteria

Jan 12, 2005

I have a user form that has a combo box called Company that is used to limit a report to all or a single company. I am trying to make it where the user can leave it blank (Null) for all companies or Pick a single company. I know there are several ways to take the value of the company (CompanyID) and use it for criteria. What I was trying was to use an expression in the reports query to get my results. This is what I tried to put in the criteria grid in my query.

IIF(IsNull(Forms![frmBillingReports]![Company]), Like "*", Forms![frmBillingReports]![Company])

If I leave the field null on my active form, I get 0 rows back. If I pick a company, I get the right number of rows back for the company the user picks. Now If I put a 1 in the place of the Like "*", I get the right number of rows for company one. Also, If I take the whole expression out and put (Like "*") it brings me back all the rows in my table.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!
