Query Variables Controlled By User
Apr 11, 2008
I've created a rather simple Access program that I use to import an employee's cookie summary txt file. I then sort the cookies for 1) time of day, and 2) appropriateness.
I found a way to create the queries - in simple design mode using criteria - but I want system administrators in other offices to be able to enter the time of day variables particular to their offices. Same with appropriate words. So I want a form they can use to do that - eg, list their office's break times. In essence, a setup page. Then the resulting queries (time of day and word list) will be customized to the particulars of that office rather than to mine.
Would appreciate some ideas on how to do this. Should I read up on SQL? Should I learn VBA? I'm trying to get around having to tell the other system administrators to go into each query and change the criteria manually.
Thanks!

I need to create a form that automatically populates Dealer_ID in my Customers table when a user selects Dealership from a dropdown box.
The form is updating all of the user controlled fields in the Customer table as the user inputs the information. I have a separate Dealership table who's Primary Key is Dealer_ID where dealership information (including the dealer name) is stored. A one to many relationship is in place that connects Dealer_ID from the Dealership table to the same field in the Customer table. The user inputting the information will know what the dealership name is but will not know their ID. I need a solution that will allow the user to select a dealership name in the form and auto-populate the Dealer_ID field in the Customer table with the appropriate ID from the Dealership table.

Hi all im new to this and im trying to make a from that will display a sub from containg infomation that can be changed by altering a combo box.
im not sure if its possible but i want to have the combo box containing names of people and then the sub form to display records that relate just to the selected person. and when the combobox's selection changes so does the displayed data.
i don't know if its possible to make a dynamic query that will take the text value in the combo box and use it in a query to query the data i have. and then produce just the data corisponding to one person. :eek: :confused:
ANY HELP on this would be greatly appreaceated. i have a feeling thatis simple but i have been pulling my hair out trying to find out how to do it. :confused:

sorry for the repeating of a previous thread but i have looked at all of the replys on the first combo box controlled query and have followed what was reccomended but i still have some problems. :(
i have three combo boxes and i want to query a single table with the selected combo options.
atm i am using the criteria part of a query to filter the results by the combo box
[forms]![Form1]![cboStaff]
this works well for one thing but when i want two i have put them in line which means AND so both combo boxes have to have a value in and then the query looks for combo box ones value with combobox 2's value.
is there any way i can make the value in the second combo box mean any result. which would effectivly turn the query into a search for just the first criteria set by the combo box???
please help i have been going round in circles trying to figure out how i am going to do this :confused:

I have a database that creates many forms based on queries which are based on user-defined variables. These are permanent variables added directly in the query, such as "if an employee is late 4 times in a month, we yell at them." I would like to be able to change this to "5 times in a month" if the users want to.
Rather than waiting for that to happen and having to change all my queries, i want to set up a form for them to access and edit the variable, save it, and then my queries to reference that variable.
My question is what is the best way to store and reference them? I could create a table, but i am not too sure how easy it would be to make my queries work with that.
I could also add them onto my main form which is always open, but I'm not sure how to make them save when access is closed. (a quick trial from my variable form won't let me update either a text box or label value on the main form).

I am having an issue with a database application I created. I needed to add another query that could be controlled from combo box on a nested form.
The combo box is for dates for entries in a table. Which then filters the query based on the combo box selection. Easy enough stuff.
The problem I am having is that when I try to use the combo box as a criteria for the query using;
[Forms]![MasterForm]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[comboBox]
Access closes and wont let me use the reference to the combo box.
What has happened? Corrupt database? How do I fix it?

I am currently making a project as part of my Computing course. The project is a running diary, where users can log in and record their running times(Amongst other things). As part of the system i am going to include a calorie calculator, to do so i have to work out the BMI (Body Mass Index). To do this you have to divide the weight by the square of the height. The weight and height are stored in the tables.
I am planning on creating a form for this conversion which will refer to a query. When the users log-in their ID is stored in a Public Variable called "UserID".
What i would like to do is query the database for their height and weight using this variable, but i don't know how to go about doing this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many Thanks

First, thanks to all that have helped me with out even knowing it! This forum is a lifesaver.
Problem:
I have a control button that, through macro commands that seem to be working, changes a field value from locked=no to locked=yes. This macro control also changes the enabled setting to = false.
When I save and exit the form, upon reopening, the above cell value is not saved. Is there a simple fix for a simple-minded person?
Thanks in advance

I have a word 2010 reports that is linked to an access 2010 form. SQL is used to populate the report with some of the fields from the form. Is it possible to create a combo-box with two selections (Mike, Paul) in it. And then have two other fields populate based on the selection in that combo-box? For example, if Mike is selected then an Address: and Phone Number: fields are filled in with his information. And if Paul is selected his information fills in.

I've built a pretty extensive database for work thanks largely to the folks on this board. But I'm stuck. I have a report to track inspections and it works fine, but I'd like to filter it down by AFSC (a coded expression the AF uses to denote career fields, i.e. 2A5x1x is Aircraft Maintenance.) The report's queries come from a couple of sources to retrieve the requirements for the report. For instance that AFSC has to start w/ "2A" and the labor code needs to start w/ "1" and not be "120". No problem. The problem I'm having is that the first 'x' (from the AFSCs below) is based on skill level (can be a 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) and the last x is sometimes there and somtimes isn't.
For this particular report I've broken down the AFSCs down to three different formats. They are as follows:
2A5x1x (i.e. 2A531B or 2A571)
2A5x3x (i.e. 2A533A, 2A55B, 2A57C)
2A6(or 7)x1(or 2,3,4,5,or 6)
The report is designed to show who is due an inspection and it works fine. But I need to try to make it a little more user friendly so that all the various workcenters can trim it down to view just their career fields. Right now it reads from a query.
Here's the SQL for it.
SELECT qryPEDueUnion.[Main Assessee], [Employee List Table].[Employee RANK], [Employee List Table].[Employee NAME], [Employee List Table].AFSC AS FilterAFSC, [Employee List Table].[Labor Code] AS FilterLaborCode, qryPEDueUnion.[Inspection Type], Last(qryPEDueUnion.Date) AS LastOfDate
FROM qryPEDueUnion LEFT JOIN [Employee List Table] ON qryPEDueUnion.[Main Assessee] = [Employee List Table].EMP
GROUP BY qryPEDueUnion.[Main Assessee], [Employee List Table].[Employee RANK], [Employee List Table].[Employee NAME], [Employee List Table].AFSC, [Employee List Table].[Labor Code], qryPEDueUnion.[Inspection Type], Left([AFSC],2), Left([Labor Code],1)
HAVING ((([Employee List Table].[Labor Code])<>120) AND ((qryPEDueUnion.[Inspection Type])="PE") AND ((Last(qryPEDueUnion.Date)) Between DateAdd("m",-19,Now()) And DateAdd("m",-15,Now())) AND ((Left([AFSC],2))="2A") AND ((Left([Labor Code],1))=1))
ORDER BY Last(qryPEDueUnion.Date);
Let me know if you need more info. I'm new to posting on this board and haven't quite found out how to attach files....Plus this db is pretty big and I'd have to fool around w/ a copy of it first to make it small enough to attach.

Dear All,
I am trying to perform a SELECT query in access vba to show me customer account numbers in a msgbox.
I get a Run-time error '13': Type mismatch.
I would appreciate any help. Please see below for examples of my code.
'CustomerID is a Global Variable that gets it's value from a DLookup that gets triggered after a combobox has been selected.
The combobox does the following
'===START==================
Private Sub AfterUpdate_cboCustomer
Dim iCustID as Integer
iCustID = DLookup("ID", "tblCustomers", "Customer='" & Me.cboCustomer & "'")
iCustID = CustomerID
'Returns the Customer's ID Perfect
'=========START==============
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT AccNo FROM tblAccNo WHERE CustID" = CustomerID
DoCmd.RunSQL(strSQL)' Errors Here
'=======END==================

All,
I've become aware that if I create a variable in the select statement like this in Access:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
That I cannot reliably use said variable later in the same statement:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.ID
ORDER BY TotSum DESC;
It will ask me to "enter a parameter value" for TotSum. When I do, in this example, it still sorts in correctly, but in a larger more detailed query it gets a little confused. I instead have to re-use the equation like this:
SELECT Table1.ID, Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) AS TotSum
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.ID
ORDER BY Sum([A]+[B]+[C]) DESC;
Is there a way around this? It seems inefficient to recompute the sum 2 times where I think I only need to do it once.
Any input or explanations?
-BT.

Hi
I have been trying to set up this query via VBA code but, with no luck, have gone back to the query in design view. Basically the parameters of the query are determined by combo boxes in a form. This is fine if one combo box indicates one criteria but a problem arisis when multiple combo boxes are possible parameters for one field.
i.e. Field 1 = combo box one
field 2= combo box two
field three = combo box three, four or five.
i have found it difficult running this, especially in terms of a returning all if a combo is left blank. the problem with setting this up on field three would be that if i run combo box four and five to return all if left blank it overides the other command to set a specific parameter. Also, for some reason i can tdecide whether this is an AND or OR command, its actually both i.e. Field three parameter = combo box three and/or combo box4 etc...
please help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I have a table that contains dates (Saturday through Friday). When I set up my query, I would like data returned where the date in a field is between the Saturday date and Friday date. Is there anyway to do this n the query without hard coding the dates in and manually changing the dates every week?

My problem is as follows, i have created a report that calculates the total volume of FSC Materials. The user picks two dates from Calender controls that the report will range from. However the needs have now changed and i am required to make the report filter further based on user input, the problem i'm facing is that i cannot figure out a way to pass values from different variables to the report separate from another here is the code i would usually use to pass data to a query/report:
Code:
Private Sub MonthlyFSC_Click()
Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish")
Start = adhDoCalendar()
Finish = adhDoCalendar()
[Code] ....
However i am now trying to do this, but it gives me an error as it is trying to pass the values to one field:
Code:
Msg = MsgBox("Select the Start and Finish Dates you wish to Query.", , "Start / Finish")
Start = adhDoCalendar()
Finish = adhDoCalendar()
sql1 = "[ORDER DATE]<#" & Format(Finish, "MM/DD/YY") & "#"
sql2 = "[ORDER DATE]>#" & Format(Start, "MM/DD/YY") & "#"
[code]....
It is performing incorrectly within the case select and passing the wrong criteria, as it will only display results that meet the default values' criteria. However the date criteria is not be passed either.

Access 2010 vba - I'm trying to pass a start date and end date to a date field in a make table query, and use the 'between' operator on that date field.
So I have a criteria on the date field like this "Between [dtStart] and [dtEnd]" and if I run the query manually it asks for 2 values and then works fine.
Here's the code I'm trying to run:-
Set qdef = db.QueryDefs("qryTest")
qdef.Parameters("dtStart") = StartDate1
qdef.Parameters("dtEnd") = EndDate1
Set rs1 = qdef.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
and I get the error "3219 Invalid Operation" on the last line.

I am having a problem with a Dlookup query. I want to achieve the following - I have 2 different tables
Demography Table - consisting of 2 fields, City and Region
For example
City Region
NYC NAM
The other Table totalflow consists of several field, one of the is flow from.
For example
Flow from
NYC
WAS
SEA
I want to do the following. Lookup the Flow from filed in table totalflow, and compare it to City in demography Table. If City = Flow from, return the value in Region. All are text fields.
I have tried following Query, but it only returns the same value for all rows. (from SQL view)
SELECT DLookUp("[Region]","Demography Table","[City] = '" &[Flow from]& "'") AS test
FROM [Demography Table], flowsize;

I am trying to count rows in the result of one of the queries and I am having a bit of trouble getting it going.
The current code - this is executed as on-click event when clicked on List Box feed with query below.
What I want to add is simple if that when number of rows produced by the querry is 1 it will enable a picture item in the different part of the form, however it does not want to count the rows for me.
Code:
Private Sub search_items_Click()
Me.OBSFullFilledOrdersHolder.Enabled = True
mysql = "SELECT orders.[order id] , STUDENTS.[first name]& ' ' & students.[surname] AS Name, students.[contact name] AS ContactName , ORDERS.[Online Bookshelf order] AS OBS , STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 1], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 2], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 3], STUDENTS.[Delivery Address 4]"
[Code] ....
The query itself works when tested but when used in code with DCount function will return error: Run-Time 2471 the expression you entered as query parameter prouced this error
'[Forms]![FULLFILL ORDERS]![search items].[Column(0)]'.

Hello.
I've been reading these forums for a few months now while developing a database for logging bugs during website QA, but never posted.
I need a way to change the "Month" combo dynamically based on what a user enters into the "StartDate" and "EndDate" Fields. (I'm using Access '97)
e.g.
I have Validation set up on both start and end date fields so they are required before a record can be saved. I would like the "Month" combo box to update with the proper month after a user has entered the StartDate and EndDate.
(Basically a timesaver for users who are entering 20-25 criteria into a single form.)
There's one hangup:
the date ranges aren't typical, as in, "November 1-30 = November"... It's more like "10/23 through 11/30 = November"
here's what that chunk of the form looks like:
http://www.ewiessner.com/misc/images/sded_month.gif
So if I were to enter 9/27 start, and 10/27 end, "October" would populate in the "Month" combo box, and I could continue to other fields.
Any input would be appreciated, and I apologize if this is a repeat post, I couldn't find any similar topics.
Thanks,
-E
p.s. - If it helps, I have a 'Month' table with 1-12 = Jan - Dec, the 'StartDate' and 'EndDate' fields are text entry boxes bound to the master 'Details' table where all the data is stored.

Hi, here is a query which returns rolling sum for past5days.The resulting table has threee columns,namely,
MyDateFiled ,MyValue,Past5DaySum
SELECT tblData.MyDateField, tblData.MyValue,
(SELECT SUM(a.MyValue)
FROM tblData As a
WHERE DateDiff("d",a.MyDateField,tblData.MyDateField)
Between 0 and 4)
AS Past5DaySum
FROM tblData;
Someone help me in modifying the above query ,so that ,a Type(1,2,3) can be assigned to each Past5DaySum
based on the following criteria.Is,it possible to use IIF function for three variables ?,so as tp get a new table(Mydate,MyValue,PastDaySum,Type)
Type,LeanPeriod,GoodPeriod
1, A<5 , A<20
2, 5<=A<=10, 20<=A<=40

Hi there, is it at all possible to use variables in sql? Please consider the following snippet:
... (WHERE [DateDue] < Date())...
The idea is to return a recordset where the DateDue is prior to the current date. But sometimes I need the opposite, ie a recordset where DateDue is in the future: ... (WHERE [DateDue] > Date())...
Right now I have 2 long queries which are exactly the same, except for the operator < for the first case above and the operator > for the second.
I of course did not want to repeat the queries so I tried:
Dim op As String
op = Me.txtOp 'txtOp is invisible and gets its value (either "<" or ">" ) thru
'a button click
... (WHERE [DateDue] & op & Date())...
I also tried:
... (WHERE [DateDue] & forms!frmInvoices!txtOp & Date())...
But to my "surprise" both failed.
Can it work? what should I correct or do differently here? I might need this kind of trick for other routines too, so I'd like to avoid copying the same query, just for the operator change.
I hope one of you seasoned sqlers can tell me more about it, I appreciate.
Regards,
Jaime

Difference is that I want to use a variable to provide the query name...
Code:dim queryname as variantqueryname = "Q_ABC" If Not QueryExists(queryname) Then Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef(queryname) Else Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(queryname) End If
but this does not work... but neither does this...

nor does this...
Code:dim queryname as variantqueryname = "Q_ABC" If Not QueryExists queryname Then Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef queryname Else Set qdf = db.QueryDefs queryname End If
Can someone please show me how this is to be done?? I feel that it must be something simple...

TheYear = "#11/13/" & Year(Now()) & "#"
