Query Takes Dashes Out Of SSN

Dec 4, 2007

I know this is probably the dumbest thing to ask, but I am just not getting it. I'm tryin to run a Query, and I assume it's a SELECT query for Last Name, First Name, SSN. The tbl containing this information [tbl_Employees] automatically places the dashes in the SSN through an input mask. However for one type of report I will later need to generate, the SSN cannot contain the dashes.
What is the criteria for this?!? I am so lost! I know it's probably something so simple that I'm just overlooking it, but I'm clueless. Can someone help me out? Thanks so much! :)

Same Query Takes 1 Sec Or 5 Minutes!

Jan 31, 2007

I am truly stumped. I have a query that sometimes takes less than 1 second to run, and sometimes takes close to 5 minutes. I am making NO changes to the query. I first thought it was a network issue, so I moved the whole db, both front-end and back-end, offline. No change. So I thought maybe it was a linked table issue, so I moved all the tables used by the query to the front end. No change. Every once in a while, the query runs at lightning speed, less than 1 second. Most of the time, it takes 3-4 minutes, or longer.

Here's the SQL:
SELECT PCAInternalPareto1a.row, PCAInternalPareto1a.column, PCAInternalPareto1a.Noun, PCAInternalPareto1a.Rev, PCAInternalPareto1a.InspPoint, PCAInternalPareto1a.cell, PCAInternalPareto1a.DefectType, CLng(nz([firstofTruncatedOpSeq],0)) AS ZOpseq, Sum(PCAInternalPareto1a.DefectQty) AS SumOfDefectQty, PCAInternalPareto1a.poo, PCAInternalPareto1a.repcode
FROM PCAInternalPareto1a LEFT JOIN BOMOutRefDesOnly ON (PCAInternalPareto1a.RefDes = BOMOutRefDesOnly.RefDesOnly) AND (PCAInternalPareto1a.partno = BOMOutRefDesOnly.PCAItemNo)
WHERE (((nz([FirstOfComponentItemNo],0)) Like "*"))
GROUP BY PCAInternalPareto1a.row, PCAInternalPareto1a.column, PCAInternalPareto1a.Noun, PCAInternalPareto1a.Rev, PCAInternalPareto1a.InspPoint, PCAInternalPareto1a.cell, PCAInternalPareto1a.DefectType, CLng(nz([firstofTruncatedOpSeq],0)), PCAInternalPareto1a.poo, PCAInternalPareto1a.repcode;

PCAINternalPareto1a is itself a query, which always runs fast. BOMOutRefDesOnly is a table with about 84,000 records. I have indexes on the joined fields.

I know the where statement looks useless but I have my reasons for doing it this way. I tried deleting the where statement and it ran really fast. Then I re-added it, and it still ran really fast. THen slow again. I can't find any relationship between anything I've tried and the speed of the query!!!! What's going on??????

Speed Issue, Query Takes 7-8 Min

Oct 23, 2006

I'm running this query off a table of about 1.5mil records. If I leave the date parameter off It comes up under a minute. When I add it back, it takes 5 minutes before the query even starts running. All the fields used in filtering the query are indexed. Any ideas to speed this up?

SELECT CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr], CallsEntered.[Date Entered], CallsEntered.[Time Entered], CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code] AS [ASC], CallsEntered.Headend, CallsEntered.Node, CallsEntered.[Grid Id], CallsEntered.[Q Code], CallsEntered.[Problem Code 01], CallsEntered.[Primary Finding Code], CallsEntered.[Primary Solution Code], CallsEntered.[Cancel Code], CallsEntered.[Scheduled Date], CallsEntered.[Wo Status], CallsEntered.[Date CheckIn], CallsEntered.[Assigned Installer], Calendar.Week, Calendar.Year
FROM Calendar INNER JOIN CallsEntered ON Calendar.Date=CallsEntered.[Date Entered]
WHERE (((CallsEntered.[Date Entered]>=Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtStartDate Or Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtStartDate Is Null)=True) And ((CallsEntered.[Date Entered]<=Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtEndDate Or Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtEndDate Is Null)=True) And ((CallsEntered.Node=Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtnode Or Forms!frmServiceCalls!txtnode Is Null)=True) And ((CallsEntered.[Primary Locator Code]=Forms!frmServiceCalls!cboASC Or Forms!frmServiceCalls!cboASC Is Null)=True) And ((CallsEntered.[Q Code]=Forms!frmServiceCalls!cboQCode Or Forms!frmServiceCalls!cboQCode Is Null)=True));

Thanks

Queries :: Create Query That Takes Values From Search Form And Provides Records

May 5, 2015

I am trying to create a query that takes values from a search form and provides records. I was having issues with getting results when some boxes on the form were left blank. I found a solution to that and it worked with a small number of fields. However when I make the full form query (about 8-10 fields) and run it says the query is too complex. I wrote the sql as I could not get designer to do what I wanted. Attached is the sql that works and that which is "too complex".

Spaces, Underlines And Dashes

May 1, 2007

I have a db, that I used to maintain as a end user, now it's in a multiuser environment, problem is the user has to enter job numbers.
Below are all valid job numbers, therefore a mask will not work.
So I was thinking "HOW" could this be done, perhaps eliminating Spaces, underlines and dashes from this field. How would I do this on the same field for all 3 conditions (course i would have to backtrack)

01-AB134
02-091
2-2177
3-715
03-021-A
05-001-PBPL
07-07-955

Need Assitance With Inserting Dashes

Dec 12, 2006

I have a very large database with record that are from 3 to 11 characters long. I would like to run a query to inset dashes at position 5 and 9 so a part number would look like this 0000-000-0000 or following the same convention but never dashes as the last character
this is what i currently have
UPDATE stihl SET [part number] = left([part number], 4)& "-" & mid ([part number], 5);
then run a second as follows

UPDATE stihl SET [part number] = left([part number], 8)& "-" & mid ([part number], 9);

the problem this adds dashes after numbers shorter than 11 and 2 dashes if on 4 long.

Any ideas thanks in advance

Dashes Are Causing Problems Retrieving Data

Aug 2, 2006

I have a database with a series of fields, all set to a String datatype, that I want to be able to fill and then use with MS Word as a mail merge data source. This function lets you query a MS Access db and use the results to fill in predefined spots attached to the various data values in the table. This is great for my needs however a large percentage of times that I have a dash in the value being queried it does not return any results. For example, 01-01 would return no entry found even though I can clearly see it in the database, however it would work fine if I queried for 0101 or any other value in the given field.

Basically I'm trying to figure out why dashes would cause problems. They are obviously fine for being stored in the access database and don't cause any troubles until they are queried for, also retrieving data containing dashes is fine so long as that value is not the one being queried for.

I basically can't avoid the dashes in the data for this setup and as such hopefully can figure out why this happens and how to get around it. Thanks for any help offered.

What Takes More Space?

May 19, 2006

Hi everybody,

Amongst many other things i would like to be able to see which teams in our company have access to which database. We currently use up to seven!!! different Databases which makes for tremendous fun...just kidding.

Since every Team has access to more than one Database andevery Database obviously gets used by a multitude of Teams, i thought the best way to go would be a Junction Table. Whilst building this, however, it occured to me that i could have just created fields for each Database in the Team Table which then can be ticked.

So here's my question, is it more space consuming to create a junction table, it certainly appears to be more work right now...

Thank you very much,

Dan

Closing Down Access Takes Ages

I'm using Access 2000 and every time I shut down my database, it takes ages (the screen locks up) and it creates a duplicate copy of the database.

Front End Takes About 5 Minutes To Initially Load

Feb 5, 2007

Hi there

I have 3 PC's on my Network accessing a back end which is sitting on the main PC.

i.e.
Main PC has Front End and Back End
PC 2 has Front End and is linked to Main PC's Back End
PC 3 has Front End and is linked to Main PC's Back End

PC 2 and PC 3 take about 5 minutes to load the intial main form. Once it is loaded the performance is ok. I have a Gigabyte network so know it's not just a slow network.

I have had a look at many other threads and also read http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm but nothing has helped.

Any ideas about settings in say the options page that I may have set wrong.

FYI I have Default Open mode set to shared, Default record locking set to No Locks, and Open databases using record-level locking ticked. Not sure if these are correct or if there are other settings to consider here.

I have also found that once you open the initial form once, it then loads quickly if you close it and then open it again, but if you close the database front end and re-open it it then takes 5 minutes again.

The only answer I have at the moment is to never shut the darn thing...!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Front End Takes Sooooo Long To Edit - Help

Nov 21, 2007

We have a split database with the front end on 3 user pcs and the backend on the network

I have the only full version of access on my pc for editing the front end and the others have access runtime to use the database

Problem: Since I split the database this way it takes horrendously long to make any modifications to the front end design of queries, forms or reports. I mean when I go to save changes on a form it takes about 10 mins to do it. Likewise design modifications to a form are very slow. eg click a field to move it and theres a delay of 5 seconds before the field is selected then another 5 seconds to respond to the next mouse move. Frustrating

Can anyone shed any light on the reason for this and/or suggest a solution.

btw it doesnt seem to make a difference whether the other users have the database open or not.

Thanks

Form Takes A Long Time To Open

May 25, 2006

I have a form that takes a long time to open – around a minute and sometimes longer. The form is based on a query, and this query on its own opens almost right away. Why would a form take so long to load up? What factors can increase a form’s load time?

Forms :: Recordset Loop Takes Value Only From First Record

Oct 18, 2013

I have a following problem: I have a form in continuous mode. Users are supposed to filter data in it to their liking using inbuild filters in Access. After that there is a button that should calculate total weights in filtered records (at this point, I add more calculations once I have solved this issue). Code of button is as follows:

Code:
Private Sub btnCalculateWeight_Click()

Dim rst As Recordset
Dim weight As Long
Dim material As Long
Dim subtype As Long
Dim locus As Long

[Code] ....

Loop goes through recordset correct amount of times but for unknown reason takes value only from the first record and sums it N times where N is number of records in recordset. Recordset seems to be correctly assigned according to messageboxes I added to pinpoint problem. PotteryWeights is a custom function I made and it works properly.

Forms :: Subform Takes Focus From Top Of Main Form?

Jun 29, 2014

I have a form that I created that has a tab control. When the form loads, it automatically sets the focus to a field in the subform. This wouldn't be a problem, except when it does it hides the tabs at the top of the form so I have to go and scroll back up every time I click a tab so that I can see the tabs. Is there a way to adjust this? I have tried hiding a field and setting the focus to it and that didn't work. I also tried setting the focus to the actual tab, but that also did not work.

Forms :: Unbound Object Frame Takes Forever To Load

May 6, 2015

I'm experimenting with unbound object frames to embed an excel sheet in Access.If I have an excel application already open and busy, and then open my form, access freeze completely and won't do anything. My users will probably be running excel vba programs when they attempt to view this form, if there is no work around I'll have to drop the idea of embedding excel in access.

whenever an "external" thing wants to use excel (opening a file in explorer, etc), it uses the very 1st excel application open on the computer at this moment, instead of creating its own instance, or at least scanning for how busy the open application is. Because of that, I think that even loading the preview in the access form will try to use the current excel process even though it's completely busy.

Tables :: 2 Similar Tables / One Takes Too Long To Append Data

Jul 19, 2014

I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:

boss - client - type
12345, 67890, 1
12345, 54321, 2

If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:

12345-67890-1, 12345, 67890, 1
12345-54321-2, 12345, 54321, 2

That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.

67890, 12345
12345, 54321
...

In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this

67890-12345, 67890, 12345
12345-54321, 12345, 54321
...

Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.

Query In Forms Question (printing A Single Selected Query Record From A Form?)

Oct 19, 2004

What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?

I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.

So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.

Thanks in advance

Queries :: Join Results Of Unmatched Query With Matched Query To Include Null

Mar 24, 2013

I am trying to do the good 'ol sales report (query) to include customers with no sales.

I have a customers table, account number table, sales table & sales (line) detail table. (all linked in that order)

If I run a query to show customers (in the customer table) with account numbers, that works

An unmatched query to show customer without an account number works (but of course the unmatched account number field isn't shown).

How can I get the two two be shown together with the "unmatched" having a null or 0 for their account number?

I am guessing in principle, the resulting solution can be modified to show customers without sales alongside those with sales?

Queries :: Opening Design View Of Append Query Without Timing Out Source Query

Mar 4, 2015

In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.

All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.

If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table

Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?

UNION Query MS Jet Database Engine Cannot Find The Input Table Or Query.

Oct 28, 2005

Hello All,

I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".

Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.

I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

SELECT SalespersonID, Sum([SlsPrice]-[RtnPrice]-[SlsDiscnt]+[RtnDiscnt]) AS fldPrice FROM MyTable WHERE (((Source)='d') AND ((DistrictID)='01') AND ((CategoryID) = 'HCPROD') AND ((BrandID)<>'CSS')) AND (((BrandID)<>'1356')) AND (((BrandID)<>'1400')) AND (((BrandID)<>'1551')) AND (((BrandID)<>'555')) AND (((BrandID)<>'66'))
AND (TransDate >= 07/01/2005) AND (TransDate <= 07/31/2005) GROUP BY SalespersonID

Queries :: Export Query To Excel Then Delete Query Data From Table

Nov 20, 2013

I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)

I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.

I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.

Queries :: Update A Query Based On Results From Another Query Using Count Function

Apr 2, 2013

I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).

I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.

In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".

I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.

(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)

In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.

Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.

Queries :: Crsosstab Query Doesn't Recognize Expression In Source Query

Aug 12, 2015

I have a query where these are the fields:

ProductRevType
RevLag
RevFlowThru
CloseMoYr
ProjRevDate
CurrentMRC
ProjRevMRC

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?
