I have two tables in the first table there is an outline number and the second table there is a task id (both are text strings, i.e. outline number and task id would be something like 8.15.3.1)
I want a query to return all the results in the first table that are not equal to the second table
I have tried the following but it returns all 54 records
Code:SELECT DISTINCT RawData.TeamLeadNumber, RawData.Category, RawData.OutlineNumber, RawData.OutlineDescription, RawData.Start, RawData.Finish, RawData.Milestone, RawData.PercentComplete, RawData.DeliverableDesc, RawData.ReleasePeriod, RawData.OutlineNumber2, RawData.OutlineDescription2FROM RawData, SharePointDataWHERE (((RawData.OutlineNumber)<>SharePointData.TaskID));
I have tried changing the where clause to have it as
Code:WHERE ((RawData.OutlineNumber)<SharePointData.TaskID) AND ((RawData.OutlineNumber)>SharePointData.TaskID);
but then no data is returned, and I know that of the 54 records 21 of them are the same so I should be seeing 33 records
Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong here. I have the following query
SELECT Contacts.Cust_FK, Contacts.ContactNr, Contacts.FirstLastName FROM Contacts WHERE (Forms.ComLogDetail.Cust_FK=Contacts.Cust_FK) ORDER BY Contacts.ContactNr;
The "Forms.ComLogDetail.Cust_FK" part should render the current record in the form ComLogDetail but its not. Any ideas?? I'm an amateur programmer so my apolgies if the solution is all too simple.
I'm a bit new to SQL, and have what is probably a rather simple question:
I have a query, which i want to pick up a figure from a table.
SELECT * FROM Feb_Closed WHERE Time_to_Close>'6' AND Team_Owner='Comp& Ben';
This give me a load of rows with Time to close between 6 and 9 but nothing else. The problem it is not counting everything over 9 ie i think that it is just looking at 1 digit in the table and so ignoring 10, 11, 12, 13... etc etc.
I created a database. exported some Excel data into Access tables, created a number of lookups, default values etc. and created a pretty simple query.
My problem is that after importing and tweaking the data, when I add new records, my queries do not pick them up! I have tried:
1. saving, closing, opening and re-running the queries. 2. putting an Nz expression for each field in the query as I read that null values may cause a problem. 3. wrote the query again, field by field to see if all records were received. 4. Exported the table back to Excel and imported to a new Access table in my database
Can't understand why the following doesn't work when changing the operator.
Using the "<>" SELECT qryColleagues.WCN, qryColleagues.ClgName, qryColleagues.Shift FROM qryColleagues, tblTempNew WHERE (((qryColleagues.WCN)<>[tblTempNew]![WCN])) GROUP BY qryColleagues.WCN, qryColleagues.ClgName, qryColleagues.Shift ORDER BY qryColleagues.ClgName;
the particaular part is (((qryColleagues.WCN)<>[tblTempNew]![WCN]))
it works if the operator is "=" but not "<>"
The thing is I'm sure this was working fine.
edit: I have just noticed that this works if there is only one record in the tblTempNew table. As soon as I put 2 records in there it does not work.
I have a problem with a query. Just for info, I export some table from SQL to access. The same query in SQL work fine but when I try in Access come out this error:
------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid'. ------------------------------------------------------------------
The query:
SELECT tbl_Style.STYLECODE, tbl_Info_1.Infodata AS [Fabric Type]
FROM tbl_Style INNER JOIN
tbl_Info ON tbl_Style.FABRICID = tbl_Info.Infoid INNER JOIN
tbl_Info AS tbl_Info_1 ON tbl_Info.Parent = tbl_Info_1.Infoid
I have built a function which passes values into the criteria of a saved query. It has worked very well until I recently built a query builder based on this same concept. The user can select from a list of operators "<=", ">=", ">", "<", "=".
Example, the function will pass into the criteria the following: <150
Unfortunately, I have exhausted all avenues for passing the "<" less than or greater than signs into the criteria. The Access SQL forces an equals sign before the passed in criteria and thus treats the "<150" as the entire criteria.
I have overcome no criteria by defaulting the function value to pass in the wildcard "*" and putting "Like" in the criteria.
Has anyone every handled a "variable" operator in a saved query in Access? :confused:
I am aware that I can change the QueryDef, use temp tables, and do several other longer methods, but the success of this concept will reduce an large amount of coding effort as well as make the software much easier to transfer knowledge on.
This overall method is really a great way to reuse criteria based on a form without hard coding.

I have a field that contains semester info ie: F07 Sep.
What I am trying to do is using an if statement to test for which month and returning a section number based on the month. I can make it work using an exact match but am trying to make it work on the partial match "Sep" so I don't have to change it next year as F07 stands for Fall 2007
This is what I've tried and various combinations. Section1: IIf([tblOnlineCoursesDetails]![Semester]="* Sep","70","")
I am trying to select specific records based on input in a query. This criteria currently works to select everything with an ID less than 21 or 31 based on the users entry: <IIf([Enter "Y" for List 1]="Y",21,31)
I now need to change the query so that only certain records are selected based on the users entry. As an example, I would like to select 1, 3, 5 and 7 if they enter Y. And I would like to select 2, 4, 6 and 8 if they dont enter a Y.Here is what I have tried:
In IIf([Enter "Y" for List 1]="Y",(3,5,7,9),(2,4,6,8)).With this criteria, I get this error .The In operator you entered requires parentheses.
Morning all The problem whihc i have is that, when trying to open the form "Create Timetable", through the switch board.... a message box appears saying "Syntax error (missing opertor) in query exprssion" Any ideas on why it is showing this message box??? Help would be appricated Thank you
After adding a radio type field in the form called Blocco (with yes or no values, working like the existing field "Bozza") I've modified the code adding something to update the db:
The page itself is loaded with no errors but when the form takes action I get this: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'True Articoli.Bozza = False'.
why? I've just used the same code that worked with the field "Bozza" (which is a checkbox field too)

I've come across a simple error that has me baffled. I continue to receive the run time error 3075: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblMasterPersonnel.FirstName"042" Or (tblMasterPersonnel.EmpID)="044"))'
Here is the strSQL
Code: strSQL = " SELECT tblMasterPersonnel.EmpID, qryiuSSN.SSN, ""SSN"" AS [ID Type], """" AS TXN, tblMasterPersonnel.LastName, " & _ "tblMasterPersonnel.FirstName, tblMasterPersonnel.MI, """" AS Suffix, IIf([tblMasterPersonnel].[Gender]=True,""F"",""M"") AS Gender, " & _ "tblMasterPersonnel.Birthday, tblMasterPersonnel.PlaceBirth, """" AS [Country Code], """" AS Country, tblAddresses.Phone1, " & _ "tblAddresses.Street, tblAddresses.City, tblAddresses.State, tblAddresses.Zip, tblAddresses.Country, " & _

But get "syntax error (missing operator) in a query expression ..."
I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
Now, I have a form that has a 'Thicknesstxtfield' that when calculated in the form its value is 0.072 in this case . Based on the range this value falls into, I want to get the correspondant 'Factor' which in this case would be '0.98'. Guess what, ACCESS is telling me that it cannot find the value '0.072' in the table and gives me an error. Any ideas on this?
Notice that all the fields except "ID" are 'Doubles' with 4 decimal places, and I find the values using the 'DLookUp' function. I know that's where the error is because all the other ranges work fine.
I'm sort of new to Access, but over the past few months I've been able to develop an inventory database for my work which turned out quite nicely and does everything I need it to, except for one thing.
I want to also create invoices for my customers, and after looking at examples I understand that most people link the "order" with the invoice, so that there is one invoice per order. However, I need the ability to combine many orders into one invoice. That's where I'm stuck.
I don't know how to arrange my relationships and forms so that I can "pick" the orders I want on my invoice, and not at the time of the Order, but at some point after. Basically my orders will be established, but their allocation to invoices won't, until I come along and put them into their rightful bill.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm pretty stumped.
I am trying to pick out the ERAP no.s out of a whole string of data. ERAP no.s are like invoice no.s. Do I Append or Make table? How do i go about doing this? I want the ERAP no. in a row next to the the description field all next to its respective string of data too....
for an example..
1)ERAP43463 STAFF TEAM LUNCH MID-YEAR REVIEW
2) 0507 SUBMITTED ITEMIZED ACCR-ERAP43159
See.. the part where the ERAP no. appears is inconsistant.. if not i could simply use excel and use text to columns. We have thousands of lines like this every week... There has to be a way to pick out just this detail and fill in the column next to the respective datastring...
Can someone please advice me on how i can go about doing this?
