I have an access query that I run on a regular basis but that doesn't always sort. It sorts most of the time, but once in a while it won't, which makes it really annoying and impractical.
i made a report based on a query. when i run the query, my results are sorted by Job Time Ascending, like i want... when i made my report i chose job id as the main group priority in the wizard..
now in my report it displays the jobs in ID ascending, rather than Job time ascending as my query says..
i dont want to re-do the report it took ages.. how can i fix this?
I have a query that sorts players batting averages from highest to lowest. When I run the query just by itself it sorts it right however when I open the report based on that query it does not sort in descending order like I asked. What am I missing??
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?
I want to execute a delete query on a table of account records. The query contains two tables linked on account number, one with a list of unique records, linked to the other with "many" records to be deleted. For each unique record from table A, I want the delete query to delete all records with a matching account number in table B. However, I get a message stating that I "could not delete from the specified table." Huh???
I can manually delete from table B, or I can get the query to work if I don't try using table A as the control table and instead specify literal criteria. I have tried all three join types but still no luck. Any ideas?
If I copy paste the SQL from a query (View->SQL) to a macro it doesn't work. Why? I've tried removing quotes,Caps, adding quotes, parenthesis nothing worked. Any ideas?
I created a database that contains 2 tables. I then created a query that simply groups the data and calculates a row total. And it works as expected. However, when I try to create a report, using the query, I get, "The wizard was unable to generate fields from the record source you chose. Perhaps you chose a query that doesn't return any fields."
Upon closing my frmInventory the amount stock of stock is checked against a minimal stock value. If the stock amount is below a set minimal value a subsequent form is opened telling you that stock is low and an email message is generated to notify a manager. I have a checkbox on that form which is set to "True" upon close using an update query. The checkbox is there to give users the option to either send or not send a reminder message that stock is low when a message has already been sent earlier.
The problem is that using that update query ALL records are set to "sent=true" and not just the 1 record I intend.
This is my code in the "on close" event:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateEmailMinimal_True
and here's the SQL:
UPDATE tblInventory SET tblInventory.emailSentMinimal = True;
I assume what is missing is a reference to an inventoryID number. How do I do that?
I have a query for a subform which is displayed in datasheet mode (see attachment). I've created a form based on a query and used it as a subform. The "casenumbers" per clients are displayed from 1 and upwards, I would like to have them sorted Descending. So in the query I sorted them that way. When I run the query they are displayed in descending order. When I open the subform based on that query however it is not. I can sort descending anyway by clicking the column on which I want to sort and do it that way, but that becomes bothersome and it doesn't need to be that way.
Record source is ok: SELECT KlantNAW.ClientNumber, CaseInfoTable.Casenumber, CaseInfoTable.DateInitialCall, CaseInfoTable.DateCaseCreation, CaseInfoTable.CaseAccepted, CaseInfoTable.[1stAppointmentDate], CaseInfoTable.DateCaseClosed, CaseInfoTable.About1 FROM KlantNAW INNER JOIN CaseInfoTable ON KlantNAW.ClientNumber=CaseInfoTable.ClientNumber;
Order by: Casenumber DESC
I thought, well, lets create a new form based on the query to see if that changes anything, maybe I've changed something I shouldn't have.
But nope, same result.
How can make the form sort descending in datasheet mode?
When I open one of my tables or queries and look at the customer Id, the displayed info is a single digit. On my customers table my primary key is the customer Id with auto number with the format like this: "ID"000. This is great however, when you look up the customer id in other tables it only displayes the single digit. I want it to show up like ID001 or ID002. In the customers tables it looks just like that, but if you click in that cell/field it takes away the ID and just shows the 001 or 002. I changed the format in my other tables under customer id to "ID000" but that didn't seem to make a difference. I would like to be able to do a search lets say by customer ID in one of my products table and when I type ID005 or ID012 it takes me to those records. But right now I would have to enter 5 or 12. Datatype in my other tables on field customer ID is set to text. Do I have to do a validation rule? How can I get it to show up the way I want it?
I've encountered a simple problem. =) I have a report based on a query. Of course due to the relations the query table should affect the report. But it does only with the filter parameters I put in the Query Design View, the quick ones ("filter by selection", etc.) that are in the result table view work there but doesn't affect the report. Still the query asks me to save it each time I apply any of these quick filters but make no changes at the end.
Any ideas how to make them work in the report? Or these filters are temporal and shouldn't work in that way? If so, what could I do to simplify customer's life?
I've got a single form ("Lead Data") that has Cascading Combo boxes that work perfectly, entering data into "tblLeadData":cboMatterTypeIDcboMatterIDcboAttyIDcboPlglID Attorney & Paralegal are the people assigned to the Matter. My problem is in finding a way to allow a specific Attorney or Paralegal to filter for only his or her records. I made a query of tblLeadData that works perfectly as a query, but when I use it as a filter in an "on click" macro event, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because of the cascading combos, because I've successfully used this kind of query based macro filter in the past.
Okay, more on how it is set up. The same people are always assigned to a specific matter, so when you pull down the Atty & Plgl combo boxes, there's only one person. So it isn't a true Parent/Child relationship, but it's working. And there were two advantages of this set up over an autopopulate set up (which I considered): 1) When I change something in the reference tables (refAtty and refPlgl), it also changes in tblLeadData & 2) in case there's an exception to the usual assignment pattern, we can just leave Atty & Plgl blank and put the correct assignment in a text box called "AssignmentNotes."
So my query of tblLeadData that works, qryLeadDataAssign, uses the following fields:
The Join Properties in the query between tblLeadData and refAtty is set to "2: Include ALL records from 'tblLeadData' and only those records from refAtty" where the joined fields are equal." And the same for Plgl.
When I run the query, it asks me a single time, "Who?", I put in the name and it pulls up all instances of the name from any of the 3 fields. It acts as a "contains" filter, not an "equals" one.
As for my cascading combos, here are the settingsMatterTypeIDRow Source:
SELECT refMatterType.MatterTypeID, refMatterType.MatterType, refMatterType.[MatterType] FROM refMatterType ORDER BY refMatterType.[MatterType]; On Change Event:Me.cboMatter.Requery MatterIDRow Source: SELECT tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter FROM tblMatter WHERE (((tblMatter.MatterTypeID)=[Forms].[LeadData].[cboMattertype])) GROUP BY tblMatter.MatterID, tblMatter.Matter, tblMatter.Matter ORDER BY tblMatter.Matter; On Change Event:Me.cboAtty.Requery
[Code] ....
I put a button on the form and put an embedded macro as an "On Click" event. The macro is an "ApplyFilter" and the filter name is qryLeadDataAssign. When I click on the button, I am asked to enter
data 3 times:Enter Parameter Value: Atty Enter Parameter Value: Plgl Enter Parameter Value: Who?
Clearly, the expression in the query doesn't function in the button. And the result, no matter what I put in, is that all of the records are still there, although the filtered button is activated.
I tried putting the expression from the query into the macro builder window, but I for sure don't know what I'm doing there and haven't been able to make it work.
I already success to run this dynamic query where the parameters taken from the main form.Now the problem is the query result doesn't show in the subform.But the status bar below tell me that it have 2 records in the subform, but there is no data in the subform, it just Blank.I already apllied the Requery or Refresh to the subform (in the Command Button), but it have no result too.This is the code:
I have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
Users are viewing a record on a form that gets it's data from a query. I want to make it so that if they edit that record from that form, a last updated field will timestamp the date/time that the record was edited. I added a lastupdated to the source table which of course adds it to the query and so it's on the form.
But whenever i access the form and change something, the lastupdated only shows the time the record was created (which is from a different form based directly on the table). Whenever I edit any other field data in that query based form it changes in the table. Why not the Lastupdated?
I have a query that has four fields. One is used only as a sort field. It works fine. However, if someone resorts the open query on one of the other fields (not the one used as the sort in the query), then inadvertently says “yes” to save when exiting, the next time they open the query, it is sorted by the field last sorted on, not the one set in the query
This is no biggie but just an annoyance. Any suggestions?
I have a form in Access 2K that properly displays city, state and zip codes. As I type in each letter of a city's name into the combo box, I get the first city in the sorted list displayed (autofills). That's fine when there is only one zip code for a city, but when I enter "chic" for chicago I still get the first chicago zip code in my table.
It sure would be nice if I could do a "sort within a sort" so that if there were two or more records with the same city name then that whole group would drop down so I could choose one of the other zip codes. If this is doable, kindly point me to an example as I need all the help I can get.
i'm trying to create a query of all employees doesn't have any transaction for a certain range of date and will also shows the last transaction date they have.i have two databases one is the transaction file and the other is the user file.
I need to sort my query in a rather complicated way, and haven't been able to get the examples I've found on here to work.
I have the following fields [Category] [Name] [Page]
Here is what I need. Where [Category] = "Table of Contents" Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Descending Else Sort by [Name], Then by [Page] Ascending
All records will be queried at the same time, so "Table of Contents" categories will be included in the same query as other records, but need a different sort order. I know this is stupid, but leave it to government to impose some nonsensical rule on you.
I have query that uses the following forumla "Team HCP2: ([Member Frt HCP]+[Member Back HCP]+[Guest Frt HCP]+[Guest Back HCP])/2" to calculate team handicaps. The formula performs as I need it to but when I try to check the sort box to sort "Ascending" it asks for a parameter.
All I want to do is run the query and have the results of the calculation field sort the column of results in a ascending order. All non calculated fields in the query are sortable by using the sort by ascending feature in the design mode.
In order to do a report, I would like to make it so that each customer is on its own row within this query, with his or her total days added up. I have no idea how to go about it.
What I need is a query that will find any duplicate records from field '1' in my table.
But then I want it to check another field '2' in the same table for any records that meet criteria 'A' but also have entries with a different critiera.
Not sure if I'm explaining that right.
So say we have a table like this
field 1..........field 2 XX.................A (the criteria we want) XX.................C (oops, somone entered another entry with a different criteria)
So it would tell us that the 'code' in field 1, we have the criteria A and C at the same time. not good.
I have made a query where the user have to enter from date and to date, and the result will be between these dates. If I write, lets say, from 01.01.2008 to 29.02.2008 It brings the results for all entrys between these dates, But I wonder if it is possible to make two results for that one, one for january and one for february. (All in one query, just sorted after month) Or maybe in the report perhaps. But I have no idea if this is possible, or how to do this. I know how I can sort it after date with the same query, but I want the results per month. Would be very nice if I can get it listed in a report, so that I can print out one page with results for january, february, march etc.
I don't know if I'm going about this problem correctly. In a nutshell:
I have a table which contains a number of fields, only a two of which are important for this task, as indicated below.
| ID | Type |
Where ID is an alpha-numeric identifier (say a store number), and there are three potential types, plus Null values. For this, we'll assume the three types are Fruit, Vegetable, and Grain (plus Null).
An example dataset might look like:
0-4 Vegetable 1-2 0-1 Grain 1-2 Fruit 0-4 Vegetable 1-2 Vegetable 0-1 0-2 Fruit 0-4 Grain 1-2 Fruit 0-4 0-1 Vegetable 0-3 Fruit
If I want to know how many stores have Vegetable, I could put "Vegetable" as the criteria in the query and set UniqueValues to Yes. Then I would get three unique values, one for each Vegetable existing at a unique store.
But, what if I want to know at which stores Fruit exists and Vegetable DOES NOT. Is there a way within Access to find all the records with "Fruit" as the criteria and then eliminate those with ID numbers matching the dataset with "Vegetable" as the criteria?
In other words, if I do my "Vegetable" criteria I end up with the resulting dataset:
0-4 Vegetable 1-2 Vegetable 0-1 Vegetable
If I then use "Fruit" as my criteria, I get the following dataset:
1-2 Fruit 0-2 Fruit 0-3 Fruit
Since Store 1-2 has Vegetable, I want to eliminate it from the list so that my resultant list is:
0-2 Fruit 0-3 Fruit
Is that possible? Sorry for the long bizarre example, but I thought it the easiest way to make the situation clear. I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone has on dealing with this situation!! Thanks
