Query Not Working With <> Operator
Sep 4, 2007
Hi All
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.
Any ideas.
Kev

I am trying to create a query in VBA to extract data for a report.
I am using the "Like" operator for one of the variable fields.
It works correctly if you use the full value, however when using a wildcard it returns no records. Example below.
MOP - Works returning several records.
M* - returns no records.
I am getting very frustrated - I am sure its something simple.
I hope I have uploaded a screen dump of the SQL statement that is being produced.

Hello everybody,
I am having trouble with this criteria on one field in a query
<>19 Or <>15 Or <>14 Or <>16 Or <>17 Or <>1 Or <>3
The query is still showing records that contain 14, 3 and 16.
Basically, I don't want to show records containing 19, 15, 14, 16, 17, 1 and 3.
Thanks

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

Hi everyone,
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 appreciate your help.

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.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Dave

Good afternoon,
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","")
Having trouble getting this to work.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx
Jerry

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.

I have an asp page which modifies articles in my access database.
I added a field in the db called "Blocco" which is a checkbox field.
The code (working) which the page used before was (I'm copying just the part that modified will cause the problem):
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", " If FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End IfSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
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:
Code:SQLModifica = " UPDATE [Articoli] SET Articoli.Sezione = '"& FSezione &"', Articoli.Autore = '"& FAutore &"', Articoli.Titolo = '"& FTitolo &"', Articoli.Podcast = '"& FPodcast &"', Articoli.tags = '"& Ftags &"', Articoli.Data = '"& FData &"', Articoli.Ora = '"& FOra &"', Articoli.Letture = "& FLetture &", "If FBlocco = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Blocco = False "End ifIf FBozza = "si" ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = True "ElseSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "Articoli.Bozza = False "End ifSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "WHERE Articoli.ID = "& FID &" "If Session("BLOGAdmin") = False ThenSQLModifica = SQLModifica & "AND Articoli.Autore = '"& Session("BLOGNick") &"' "End IfSet RSModifica = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")RSModifica.Open SQLModifica, Conn, 1, 3Set RSModifica = Nothing
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)
Sorry for my english

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.

Hi
I have been refreshing myself with SQL on Access 2002. All was going well until I got to the BETWEEN...AND operator. Using the Northwind sample database I was writing the query on the employee table to select all the columns between 'Fuller' and 'King' :
SELECT * FROM Employees
WHERE LastName
BETWEEN 'Fuller' AND 'King'
However this only brings back the two rows for 'Fuller' and 'King' whereas I would expect at least 5 rows or more depending on whether access would count 'Fuller' and 'King' as inclusive.
Have had a look on the microsoft office help page but seem to be doing everything correct so I am wondering why it still doesn't work? No doubt simple but its concealed in mud at the moment. Any help apreciated.
cheers

I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this question has been asked before
I needed exact information about the way the 'like' operator works, so I pressed F1, typed 'like' in the "Answer Wizard" and was told to "rephrase my question". :eek:
The index was slightly more helpful as it obviously contains 2 topics with 'like_operator', but choosing them does not reveal anything. :confused:
Where can I find info about such things?
I also need to use an operator called 'contains' which I have used when working with SAS, but appearently it does not exist in Acccess or it has another name. Has anybody heard about it?

Hi guys!
It's unknown for me why Access hasn't got MINUS implemented and Unmatched Query Wizard doesn't help me much. So I'm wondered if anyone had to confront the following task:
Table1
Book Agent
----------
b1 a1
b2 a2
b3 a3
Table2
Book Agent
----------
b1 a1
b3 a3
The problem is I have to eliminate duplicates but I need to find unique row, which is Book and Agent. From my example it's row with (b2 a2). I tried using
Select * From Table1
Where (Book, Agent) Not In (Select Book, Agent From Table2)
didn't work
I also tried EXISTS
didn't work
Unmatched Wizard compares only one field, not two.
Any comments welcome, thank you

I have an invoice-line table with records for every line on invoices. I'm trying to return all the lines associated with certain invoices, excluding all lines with "FREIGHT" in a line item field. I created a query that lists all the invoice numbers for which I want to display invoice lines for. I created a new query with the invoice line table linked to the invoice number query by invoice number (a one to many relationship). There are about 1400 results from this query. By making the criteria of the line item field "FREIGHT" and running the query, I can see that there are 81 "FREIGHT" records that I ultimately want to exclude. However, by typing NOT "FREIGHT," it appears that not only are the "FREIGHT" line item records excluded, but also records with a blank (null)line item field are excluded, and I end up with about 650 results. What's going on here? Why is the NOT "FREIGHT" critera also excluding null records? I don't have any other criteria specified in the query. :confused:

I have an expression that I'm trying to build into a totaling field in a report. There are two types of items being tallied into this total; 1 is a flat amount, the other is a calculation of # of men * # hours * rate. I already have an expression that works for the first level of calculating:
=IIf([Type]="Lawn Maintenance",[LMAmt],[# hours]*[# men]*35)
Note: [LMAmt] holds a flat amount
I wanted to add, after the [Type]="Lawn Maintenance",[LMAmt] an "or" somehow which would basically state or [Type]="Dumping Charge",[Expenses]
Note: [Expenses] is also a flat amount and all other [Type] codes are determined using the calculation below:
if [Type] is not = to "Lawn Maintenance" or = to "Dumping Charge", THEN [#hours]*[# men]*35
Hopefully I explained myself well :confused:
Thanks in advance!

I have a select query that has filenames listed. I would like to use the Like Operator to select only those filenames with certain bits of string.
For example: In the Criteria area of a query Like "*Defense*" selects all filenames with the word Defense successfully.
However, I would like to select the key word from a combo box and use it in the Like expression.
For example:
Like "* '&Forms![View Selected Plays]![Play Type]&' *"
The code above does not return any results even if the term Defense is selected in the combo box.
I am sure this is a quotes, single quote, *, % type problem, but every combination I try yields no results.
Thanks.
