Query Parameters From A Form Text Box
Aug 19, 2007
Hi There,
I am trying to get a query to pull dates from a form to use as limiting parameters for a report. One of my forms has the user enter a range of dates into two text boxes (a from-date in one box and a to-date in another) as the range of dates they want to pull information from a table via the query. These dates are also used in the Title header of the report that is generated from the query information.
How can I get the query to use these dates in the text boxes, rather than having to use the "between / and" command on the criteria line of the query design?
If I just have parameter windows pop up and have the user enter the dates there, I can't use those dates for the report, or can I? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I haven't explained this properly, if so, I'll try again if I've just confused you.

I have created a form with multi-select list boxes, behind which is the following code to transform the users' selections into query parameters.
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Test")
If Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then
For Each varItem In Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & "Centres.[Area Board] = " & Chr(34) _
& Me!lstAB.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & "OR "
Next varItem
strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 3)
Else
strCriteria = "Centres.[Area Board] Like '*'"
End If
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Centres " & _
"Where " & strCriteria & ";"
qdf.SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Test"
Set db = Nothing
Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub
I would like to allow the user to set, on the same form, which field they want the resultant data to be sorted by, preferably by having a tick box alongside each list box, which sets that field as the sort field. The form will obviously need to allow only one of these tick boxes to be selected.
Can anyone advise me on how to modify the above code to make this possible?
Thanks,
Gary

I have created a query that will pull the price of a property into the cost field combo box on a booking order subform depending on the values of the start date and property number enter onto the same form.
The query gets the price from the property price table matching on the property no i've selected on the booking order subform and also the start date i've entered on the booking order subform which needs to be between the start and end date fields in the property price table.
Fields in the property price are property price no, property no, start date, end date and price.
Also the booking order subform is a subform on a booking form
This is the query i have created:
SELECT [Property Price].Price
FROM [Property Price]
WHERE (((forms![booking order subform]![start date]) Between [property price].[start date] And [property price].[end date]) And (([Property Price].[Property No])=forms![booking order subform]![property no]));
The problem is when i run the query from the cost combo box the query isn't picking up the fields on the booking order subform instead its bring up a seperate meesage box from parameters start date and property number to be enter.
Can someone give me advise how to make the query use the values in the fields on the booking order subform i enter before running the query. cheers

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?
Thanks.

I have a query and a form, and what I want to be able to do is have the user type in within the form the parameters for the query.
The part of the query that will hold the parameters is based on an amount (formatted as Currency), but I want the user to be able to enter >10 , =<100 or >100000 and get the correct results.
I have already set up the query and the form with unbound cells which are then referenced in the query I've tried just one cell where the user would enter >100000 or tried two cells where one cell would be for >,< etc and one cell for the value (which is formatted as currency), but that didn't work either.
The idea is that you enter the parameter and value then click on a button that runs a macro to export the query based or the user parameters, but everytime I try it I get a box appearing saying Property not Found.

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.

There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form
frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
[Forms]![frmNavigation]![NavigationSubform] .[Forms]![frmAssignDwgToPkgs]![Combo15]

So i have made a query which filters the text you type in your text box on a form. This is working great, but then this morning I had some records that contain some blank fields. My query does not show those records even if they contain the same text that I would type in my search form.This is my expression in my query of one column:
Like [Forms]![searchform]![Qprojectomschrijving] & "*"

I have a parameter query with 5 possible user entries.
The criteria for all my fields is set up as follows:
Criteria: IIf(IsNull([Enter County]), "", [Enter County])
Or: Like "*" & [Enter County] & "*"
If the user enters something for 2 or more parameters it seems to work, but if they just enter a county, for example,, it gives an error message about the expression being too complex.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.

I've searched the forums for quite a while now and haven't exactly found the answer I'm looking for, so I appologize if it's already been covered elsewhere.
I have a tough situation to explain, but I'll do my best:
I have a query that has several fields that are calculated by adding or multiplying other fields in the same query - a few of which are parameters. I have made the parameters the "right way" by going to the query menu and selecting Parameters... and filling in the neccessary Parameters and Data Types instead of creating a new field in the query and putting my parameter info in that way.
So, long story short. I want to have a form where the user can enter in the parameters, select a value for a field from a drop down box, hit a "go" button and a report will be generated listing info from that query.
How do I go about entering parameters through a form and how do I put in a drop down box that will list all of the values available for a field in the query?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi all,
I have a continuous form that is bound to a SQL Server view.
For each record in my form I have a button, which when pressed opens up a second form. The second form is bound to a stored procedure that takes a parameter. The parameter value that I want to pass to this second form is the value of one of the fields in the first form.
I did the following in the click event of the button on my first form:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "SecondForm"
stLinkCriteria = "[Field1]=" & "'" & Me![Field1] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, when I run this it keeps prompting me to specify the value of Field1 so this value is obviously not getting through. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance
Kabir

I have this code of a command button, which would allow me to generate the result of the SQL. I think the code is wrong... Can someone help? I guess something wrong with the bracket...
strSQL = " SELECT NewsClips.RecordNumber, NewsClips.IssueDate, NewsClips.Title_Eng, NewsClips.Titile_Chi, NewsClips.NewsSource, NewsClips.[1CategoryMain], NewsClips.[1Sub-Category], NewsClips.[2CategoryMain], NewsClips.[2Sub-Category], NewsClips.hyperlink, NewsClips.FirstTwoPara, NewsClips.Notes, NewsClips.attachment FROM NewsClips " & _
"WHERE (NewsClips.[NewsSource] " & strNewsSource & _
strNewsSourceCondition & "NewsClips.[1CategoryMain] " & str1MainCate & ")" _
str2MainCateCondition & "(" "NewsClips.[NewsSource]" & strNewsSource & _
strNewsSourceCOndition & "NewsClips.[2CategoryMain] " & str2MainCate & ")" ";"
Indeed, I try to modify the SQL that works in a test query (as I want to know what went wrong with my code): the changes would be replace OR to a toggle option.
SELECT NewsClips.IssueDate, NewsClips.Title_Eng, NewsClips.Titile_Chi, NewsClips.NewsSource, NewsClips.[1CategoryMain], NewsClips.[1Sub-Category], NewsClips.[2CategoryMain], NewsClips.[2Sub-Category], NewsClips.hyperlink, NewsClips.FirstTwoPara, NewsClips.Notes, NewsClips.attachment
FROM NewsClips
WHERE (((NewsClips.NewsSource)=[Which News Source]) OR ((NewsClips.[1CategoryMain])=[Which Category?])) OR (((NewsClips.NewsSource)=[Which News Source]) OR ((NewsClips.[2CategoryMain])=[Which Category?]))
ORDER BY NewsClips.IssueDate DESC;
Your help will be greatly appericated.

Guys I need your help/Advice...
In my Access Database I have a query (lets say qry1) and in this query i have 2 fields for start and end date, which is provided by 2 Get functions.
also i have qry2 based on qry1
then qry3 based on qry2
and finally qry4(using sql in code) based on qry3, and non of these 3 queries have the start and end date fields.
now here is the problem: I am trying to set the criteria in qry4 and then open a record set on this query(qry4) to use the data that it pulls out...
strsql = ""
strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _
& "FROM qry3 " _
& "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset(strsql)
but when the last line is executed I get this error message:
Runtime Error '3061':
Too few parameters, expected 2.
i also tried doing this:
strsql = ""
strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _
& "FROM qry3 " _
& "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
MyDB.QueryDefs("qry4").sql = strsql
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("qry4")
but when the last line is executed it gives me an error message saying that the query does not exist or the name is not spelled correctly. (Ps. I have created the query and the criteria does update once the Select statement is run in the code!)
again the reason for this is that the query has not been populated as the main query (qry1) needs 'strat date' and 'end date'!
Is there anyway I can pass these 2 parameters to qry4 directly using code? If there is a way then this will definitly work as i tried opening the query manually in the Query window and after I input the 2 dates in the input box the query ran successfully!
I would appreciate any help/suggestion guys, I need to sort this out quickly as i have a deadline... Cheers

I’ve the following query definition “selOrders”
PARAMETERS [DateFrom] DateTime, [DateTo] DateTime;
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN [DateFrom] AND [DateTo]
I want to open this query as a DAO.Recordset but have problems to assign values to the parameters. I tried different possibilities but invain. My latest try was as follows:
Dim QryDef As QueryDef
Dim Date1, Date2 As Date
Dim Orders As DAO.Recordset
Set QryDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("selOrders")
QryDef.Parameters("DateFrom") = Date1
QryDef.Parameters("DateTo") = Date2
Set Orders = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("selOrders")
During execution error 3061 (Too few parameters, expected: 2) occurs.

Hey,
I am trying to enter a user-defined parameter in a CrossTab query with little luck. It works fine if I enter the code already defined as in: >= #12/06/2006# but when I enter the code for a user-defined / input such as: >= [Enter date:], or if I try to redirect to a textbox on the active Form such as: >=[Me]![dfrom.Value] I get the error "Invalid field or Expression), although this syntax / code works fine if I do this in a normal query.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards, Adam.

Hey guys, I have a simple design question I hope someone can help me with. I have little to no experience with Access, but I know enough to get around. Anyways, I'm working as an extern for a rock band. One of my assignments is to create a publicity contact database. I have all my forms and tables set up but I'm having some trouble creating my query. There are about 10 fields in the contact table. I want the user to be able to search any one of those 10 fields OR any combination of them. Is there a way to do this with only one query, where it willl prompt the user for only the fields they have selected to search?

I have a query that pulls information from two tables. Some of the fields that are being queried share the same name in the tables, [Reimbursed_Amount] and [Cancel_Fee] specifically. In Design View I have specified that I only want the query to pull these fields from the Event Information table. An error occurs when I try to run it, saying that I need to define which table the field is from in the SQL code.
But then after I added clarification in the SQL, when I run the query it now prompts for a parameter for each of these fields. Why is this happening? I leave it blank, so a parameter has no impact on the query. How can I stop this?
Here's the SQL, after I added the table clarification:
Code:
SELECT (Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost])+nz([Cancel_Fee].[Event Information])-nz([Reimbursed_Amount].[Event Information]))) AS Total_Cost, [Shared Billing Information].Paid, [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID, [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
FROM [Shared Billing Information] RIGHT JOIN [Event Information] ON [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID = [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
[Code] ....

I have a report and export function which is based on date parameters. The field name called "date". However, I added a new field called "followup-date" because we would like to track customers that are returning back. Now, my problem is when I go to Export by date parameters or generate the report by certain date eg. July1st to July 28th, it only pulls up the record based on DATE field.
Is it possible for the date parameters to look up july1st to july 28th under date field as well as followup-date and pull up those records that are meet the date parameters? The reason I have to do this is because some customers do not come back for followup so I have to look under 'date' field too. While some customers can have more than one followup.

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e.
User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button.
Afterwards, a query will run like
select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
Thanks,
Nervous Jervous

I have a sample database (attached) where I have a form called frmVoteHeadsOne. The voteheads that I have are swimming (Swim) and transport (Trans), which both appear for data in a table. On the form, from the combo list, I would wish that if I select swimming, for example, only Mark Tyler's name is returned since he has paid 2000; if I select Transport from the same list, only John clement's name is returned.
My purpose for doing this is because in the actual database, I have 21 different voteheads which I would like to get different results from based on what the user selects from the combo list.

I am creating a booking database for a Bus Hire company. There is also an Invoice element to it, which will Invoice customers for a range of bookings that they've made.You will see in the screen image, the relationships between the four tables:
-tblInvoice
-tblInvoiceDetails
-tblCustomer
-tblBooking
IN tblBooking (see screen dump) the customer is allocated a booking number and so on. However, at the end of the month, the Customer will be invoiced for specific bookings. I would like to, firstly, select the customer in the Invoice form, then in the InvoiceDetails subform, select THE BOOKINGS THEY HAVE PREIVOUSLY Made using a look up. (see screen dump called frmInvoice.Gif)
I have applied a criteria to the data source for the look up. (see image datasource...GIF) with forms![frmInvoice]![CustomerID] in the hope that the query will search for BookingIDs where the currently selected CustomerID (in Form Invoice) finds a corresponding match in tblBooking.

Greetings,
I am trying to write a parameter query ... I have multiple fields the users *could* search, but they may want to search only one, and I am having a struggle figuring this out.
Ex. fields to search are Gender, Age, Date, etc., and I have created a parameter query that includes parameters for each of these fields. However, if I want to see all the females, thus leaving the other two parameters blank, I have no records in my result set. Clearly, I am doing something wrong -- I have searched the forum extensively before posting.
Thanks in advance, I am sure I am being simple and missing somethign....
