Can someone help me do this in a better way? I have built the two queries below to give me a montly sum of some church contributions. On the "Reportsfrm" form I have two combo boxes to choose the month. One of the combo boxes is setup to choose the months of the year names. This is used merely to put the name of the month on the Monthly Report. The other combo box chooses a number from 1-12 which is used in the first query below to choose the month for the query. This works fine, but makes the DB user use two combo boxes. Does anyone know of a way that they can just choose the month by name? Thanks in advance for your help.
SELECT MemInfotbl.ContribDate, MemInfotbl.ContribAmt, Month([ContribDate]) AS ContribMonth
FROM MemInfotbl
WHERE (((Month([ContribDate]))=[Forms]![Reportsfrm]![Monthcbo]));
SELECT Sum(Monthlyqry.ContribAmt) AS SumOfContribAmt
FROM Monthlyqry;
So far this forum and everyone here has been a good help!
Now, I want to have a form with one button. (others of course but this one button is special) that when someone clicks it, it prints multiple reports at once.
BUT each report has a query obviously that searches out what records to pull between two dates. Now, ive somewhat tried this before but what ends up happening is when they click on it.. (there is 4 reports printing) it asks the person 4 times the dates its between. Which is a hastle and people would not be happy about.
What i want is when someone clicks this button, it comes up with one prompt. This promt will then print out the 4 reports with the date provided.
On each report im using the "between" statement in the query to pull results.
This is open to you! PLEASE help! Thanks so much, Jon
I am trying to design a report for my police department. It is for racial profiling. I have designed a data entry form that lists numerous items using the circle options, i.e. Moving violation (choose) speed, lane violation, fail to signal, etc., Result of stop (choices). each of these options is defined as the Frame number and the title in the frame is the control source. I have a report which must add up all the selected options individually, so that I know how many stops there were for speeding, lane violations, race options, sex options, etc. This appears to work fine. I have each of the options assigned a control source as =DCount("[StopType]","Cop Stops","[StopType]='1'") with a number assigned to each option withing each group.
( I am really new at this and just guessing at what I need to do)
I want to be able to pull a report by a date range. I set up a query by using the between criteria. I put a cmdreport button on my input form and that works. click the button and a form comes up requesting the dates. I made my query the source for my report. When I put in the date range and look at the query, the query has the correct records in it. But those records do not go to the report.
WHAT AM I MISSING? Am I doing something totally out of whack? Have I made this more difficult than necessary?
I need some serious help! I am an Access newbie and I think I am trying to do something more complicated than my skills. Any help will be extremely appreciated!
Here is the situation:
I have a table of volunteer records that record each volunteer's availability and areas of interest, which are checkboxes. The volunteer information area of the form basically looks like this:
Monday Tuesday Wednesday etc. Morning O O O Afternoon O O O Evening O O O
O "Trails" O "Greenhouse" etc.
The "O" designates the checkboxes saying "yes" they are available at that time and "yes" they are interested in that area. I did it in checkbox form because it is the most visual and simplest way for my users to understand the record. My users' thought process is going to be this: I am having a greenhouse clean up this Tuesday evening. I need to run a report of all our volunteers that said they are available Tuesday evenings to work AND said that they want to work in the greenhouse. What I would like next to happen is they load the database I'm designing, click the switchboard to a search form that has the same checkbox layout as the volunteer record. They check Tuesday evening, check Greenhouse, then click run report. Report appears on screen that they can view, which they can choose to print so they can call the volunteers.
I have seen samples of listboxes and dropdown boxes as search criteria on a form, but the additional problem is that my end users are over the age of 65, scared of computers, nice ladies. They wouldn't understand the listbox of fields, and it would be a disaster trying to get them to understand AND/OR statements and the entering of yes/no on a list of search criteria, especially if they have more than one time availability and area of interest that they want to run in one report. Hence, sticking to the easy checkbox format for the never-used-a-computer-before ladies to run the reports they need, spitting out the information to the question they are asking, like "Who are all the volunteers that said they are available weekends to work special events? I need to call them to see if they would work the special event coming up in 3 weeks."
I am completely lost about how to go about doing a checkbox form to run a query of checkboxed data that spits out a report with the results :[ I would appreciate a simple sample or an explanation in layman's terms of the steps involved to achieving the results I would like. I am the type who would like to try to figure this out, so that I learn, but I am completely in over my head with this one :[
All patience and help with this will be greatly appreciated!
About 10 years ago I wrote an Access application which is still in use. Over the years certain parts have become superfluous and new parts have been added by a variety of users. Thankfully they have stuck to the original ideal and only used macros and queries - and not modules of badly written code.
However, the system is beginning to creak and I have been asked to rewrite the system from scratch with a shiny new interface, cutting the dead wood and incorporating those new features that did not have a half life of one report.
I would like to be able to monitor the use of the system in order to be able to determine just which tables, forms, queries & reports are being used. I'm not interested in auditing who added what to which table, so a 'normal' audit system is not required. Can anyone tell me how I would record which of the above are being used and how regularly?
I have asked the users and (of course) they don't know.
I am trying to enter dates in a form that calls a report that invokes a query that uses the dates. It has been a less then satisfying experience. I am getting a Run-Time error 3122. Is it possible and I need to work on syntax or do I need to think of another way? BTW how do I lookup the Run-Time errors? Thanks for helping an old guy learn new tricks. Jim
I have built a database with only my department in mind that tracks three types of documents; Which works fine. Now some of my fellow department heads desire to use what I have built.
This is not a problem as their data structure is the same. The difficulty lies in changing the 30 queries. In the queries I hard coded my department number in the receiver (department field) criteria.
Additionally, my HQ is requesting me to perform some analysis on the other department's data. So other than manually changing the department number each time; Can I use a form or report to modify these 30 queries? I attempted to use a combo box but it would not hold the value when I closed the form.
I saw this thread today, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102036 , but am not sure it will do what I want.
Using a table with employees, I created another with equipment that uses a lookup to assign each piece of equipment to an employee (more than 1 piece of equipment can be assigned to each employee)
I want to be able to select records using a form, either by checkbox or listbox of which employees to include in the report that shows what equipment each is assigned. The problem I am having is creating the form/code to create the and/or query to generate the report.
I'm working on a db for work. On my Nav form, I have two tabs- each tab has cmd btns that open up different search or data entry forms. I also have a few reports that can be opened based on a query I created.
The last thing I want to add is a control/button that opens the query wizard so the user doesn't have to navigate to the "Create" tab of access. The reason behind this is that one user may not know how/where to find the query/report wizard.
Is there some VBA code or Macro I can create to add this functionality to a button ("Create New Report" or "Create New Query".)
I have tbl_Proj, tbl_Notes, and tbl_Proj_City. They are all joined by the tbl_Proj's ID.I have a set list in tbl_City - tbl_Proj_City is 3 columns an ID for itself, tbl_City ID and tbl_Proj ID...In instances where a project covers more than one city, when I generate a report (or query) for that project I get each notes that number of times. If a project is in 3 cities I get each note 3 times.
I have a project entry form with a combobox subform for the city selection.The report is from a qry, by Proj_ID, I need to show the cities - the "key" city is the first alphabetically (also lowest via autonumber in City_ID). I would like to add that I do not know SQL. I have created this database using access commands.
I am thinking that I may be able to query the project ID for the Cities and somehow select the first alphabetically or the lowest in ID and store that somewhere? and then run a query that uses that and the notes to generate the report and then have a sub report for the other cities?
I would like to have a user enter a start date and an end date into two textboxes on a form. The two dates will be used to query a table. I would then like to print a report that was created from that query.
Here is the query created as a stored procedure:
SELECT Transactions.*, Hoods.* FROM Hoods INNER JOIN Transactions ON [Hoods].[ID]=[Transactions].[BoxID] WHERE ([Transactions].[Date] Between [@StartDate] And [@EndDate]) ORDER BY [Transactions].[Date];
What would be the best way to pass txtStartDate to @StartDate and txtEndDate to @EndDate in the VBA code of the form? How would I open or print the report created from that query filtered on that date range?
Any suggestions? Am I going about it wrong? Should I have created the report from the above query, or should I do it another way? Can anyone direct me to some code that does all of the above or something similiar?
I want to create a form that allows a user to enter criteria that will be passed to an existing make table query. suggestions on a user friendly book on Access 2010 programming, I'd be really interested. I'd like to be able to do more with Access 2010.
The Header and footer are not linked. The Footer simply displays all the existing bookings for said ouse/Room/Date combination. (Date being all dates between the StartDate and EndDate) BUT (surprise, surprise)users don't look at this to check if a booking already exists.
Also - It seems pointless to have the users enter the same data (House, Room, UserID) in 6 times (one for each day that they want to book the room.
So I am trying to automate the process.
Therefore, I append each 'new' record (that the users adds in this session) into a temporary table. (House / Room / UserID / StartDate)....note, no end date because I need a separate record for each day.
I have a query that is supposed to check the EXISTING bookings with the temp table. My code (paraphrased here for simplicty) says
do while StartDate < EndDate - if Qry_CheckForClash returns 0 records then '(uses a dlookup) - append from TEMP to BOOKINGS. - - else - compile an alert message to the user (appending the Room No and Date each iteration) - In Qry_CheckForClash, increase the StartDate by +1 - end if loop
My problem is that after the last step (increase StartDate by +1) the call to Qry_CheckForClash still returns the initial StartDate. But when I check the TEMP table, the StartDate has changed.
So how do I REFRESH or REQUERY a query that is not associated to a form or report?
I have a navigation form that will have 6-8 tabs. We were using about that many databases, but we are finally consolidating them into one. The result of us using so many databases has been the multitude of forms and reports that were necessary for each database prior to merging them together.
The problem: There will be anywhere from 12-20 (text boxes) that the user can use to search anything in our database. What we need to have happen, if possible, is for those search parameters to show up in the header of our report if they have text in them. If the text box is blank, it should not show up in the header of the report.
I have read how to to do the start/end date technique, but I do not know if that would work for what we are doing since the boxes would only show up if they are populated by the user.
I need to create a census report from the employees we serve and their dependents, by company. I have a union query of the Employees table and Dependents table to put them all on one list, then a form where you can type the name of the company you need, with a button that opens the report. This works great, except for the fact that sometimes we don't need the dependents; if a company has over 100 Full-Time employees, we only need the employees. I've added a check box ([IncDep]) on the form, asking the user if they want to include the dependents, but I don't know how to get this to filter the report. I have a Relationship field on the tables that specifies an employee as a "Subscriber", so I'd like to filter the report where [Relationship] = "Subscriber" but I don't know how to do this. The union query specifies both Employees.Relationship and Dependents.Relationship to the text box [Relationship], but when I do something like
Dim stDocName As String If Me!IncDep.Value = False Then stDocName = "Census" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewReport, , "[Relationship]='" & "Subscriber" & "'" Else stDocName = "Census" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewReport End If
I want to have Access run a query, open a report, and print the report based on the ID number of the form that I have open. Is this possible?
The situation would be, I have a form that uses the the primary key as a record number. After I enter the data into the form, with the form open I want to add a button to open and print a report of the current record number.
I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
I am trying to generate a report that is based off of a query. The query has a form filter that it needs to filter the data. I keep getting a jet engine error and couple others.
The form has year, start week, and end week on it. I can get the query to work fine. When I try to open the report, Access says it doesn't recognize the " [Forms]![frmUptimeFilter]![StartWeek] " as a valid field name or expression.
Table: "Facility Info" Data in the table: "facility", "city", "date", etc. Query: "Q Facility" Report: "R Facility" Form: "Main Form" is where the data is entered that goes into the "Facility Info" table.
In the "Main Form" there is a dropdown box where I can select the "facility".I would like to add a button to this form that opens my report "R Facility". But this report is a collection of all the facilities and I would like it to just report the ones for the facility that I selected from the dropdown box on my "Main Form".

I have a three-column query that tells me how many hours I have available per week for a given resource type (e.g. welders). I have a second three-column query that tells me how many hours of work I have planned per week for a given resource type.I'm hoping to produce a query (the source for a report) that will show resource types in rows and twelve months in 24 columns. the first column for each month will show how many hours I have available for all my resources, the second column for each month will show how many hours I have allocated.
How do I produce a query that will combine the other two queries, inserting zeroes where necessary considering that for any given week I might have allocated work to a resource that isn't available (because the inconsiderate buggers think they are entitled to holiday) or I might have a resource that has no work allocated (because I'm incompetent)?
I have a query that when I run it normally (just click on it) then it runs fine. (It is a union query, getting it's data from 8 other queries (who has their dependancies)
But when I want to run a report from it, Access gives me an error saying "query is too complex".
I am flattered, but I would prefer access to work than say I write stuff that is too complex for it. :cool:
Any ideas?
I am confused by the fact that it runs when I double click the query, but the report bugs it out.
I've been given an existing database to modify, and I'm struggling somewhat to see how the author has implemented certain functions.
On a main menu form (autoexecs on starting the database), there are various "Search By" option buttons to generate a report, ordered in various ways. The "On Click" field for each of them refers to a macro, called Buttons, and a line in that macro dependant on the type of search (e.g. OnClick = Buttons.byPerson).
The Buttons macro runs an OpenReport command, the report corresponding to the search type (e.g. Buttons.byPerson has an OpenReport command for the "Report by Person" report).
However, when I click the search buttons (or indeed run the corresponding reports) I instead get another form which allows the search criteria to be specified - this then generates the report (I would assume based on the relevant query - e.g. Person Query), but I cannot understand how this works.
Google searches have not helped much as I can't seem to find an adequate search phrase to use, and I've been staring at the thing for some hours now. Any help getting me off in the right direction would be much appreciated!
