I have a sales invoice table that contains parts that start with *, for example *SPR362.
I need to select only those parts that start with the *, as this is the wildcard in queries how do i select those products that start with it without it being recognised as the wildcard and selecting all records?
The field name is simply: Part

Many Thanks
A charity has a client file (over 700 clients) that will have records that need editing. The user is presented with a form(1) holding a text box to enter the parameter (Client Surname) for a query. They can use starting letters and wildcards to narrow a search e.g. Jo*The click a command button that opens another form(2) based on a query that uses the parameters from the first form.
This Works just as planed if matches are found. If not, it displays a blank/new record. I want to either 1) stop the blank form being displayed 2) tell the user that their query was unsuccessful. I Do not want them to use this facility to CREATE a NEW Client record.
The parameter query is working fine and form(2) shows the matching records, it's reacting to a situation where no records are found, that is my problem.
How to calculate all records that have not yet been linked to other records. For example: I have 1 Product, which is linked with multiple components which is subsequently linked to subcomponents. All these types can be linked to Alternate Parts.
In order to reduce redundant information I would like to show the unlinked parts to the user. Therefore I would like to make a query which shows all unlinked parts.
I have the following tables with subsequent PK Part Number field values:
tblProduct->ProductPN
tblComponent->ComponentPN
tblSubComponent->SubComponentPN
tblAltParts->AltPartPN
I am unable to find a appropriate query structure with criteria for this issue due to the many different fields required and the fact that if in one query all these tables are shown no data will be shown ...
I would like to create a query to show only the Work Orders that all parts ordered have been received.For the Work Order, each part ordered has a "complete" yes/no checkbox.If I use that field in the criteria of the query, it does return only parts that are "complete." However, it still shows me a Work Order where there are parts ordered but not received "not complete." how to set the query to exclude those cases and only return Work Orders that all parts ordered on the Work Order are received "complete."

I am not sure if this is possible, but I am running an update query to add text in a field if a certain criteria is met. However, if the field I am adding to already contains what I am trying to add, i don't want it to add it again. Everything works fine except the IIF statement in my update field. Here is what I have:
IIf(Temp_Vendor_Trips.[Reco Classification]="*" & "V3" & "*",Temp_Vendor_Trips.[Reco Classification],Temp_Vendor_Trips.[Reco Classification] & " " & "V3")
If the field contains the text V3, I want it to be left alone and continue to show what is already in the field, if not, i want it to add V3 to the end.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I've got a query that does exactly what this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89564&highlight=null+records) chap got his to do.
However I want to add a "*" character to the criteria to allow for searches with partial matches. Here's the criteria that works:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
However when I try the logical extension:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*" Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
this doesn't work, and nor does:
[title]=([Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*") Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
WHAT DO I DO? I'M TIRED AND I CANT THINK STRAIGHT! :eek: thanks and sorry for being so dumb!
Hi,
I'm making a query which is used to generate a report. Anyways, I've ran into a problem. The query is based on some controls in a form, but what I would like to do is that if a control was null then a field in the query should be assumed to be a wildcard for the criteria, otherwise the data in the control should be used in the criteria of the query. Does anyone have any ideas if this could be done?
Cheers,
Ben
Hi,
In SQL in MS Access a '?' '*' '%' are all used as a wildcards.
I need to be able to retrieve all messsages which contain a '?' within the message.
i.e. If a message contains the following characters : why?
I want to retrieve the message as a '?' is part of the message.
When I write the code :
SELECT User.User, Message.Message
FROM Message INNER JOIN [User] ON Message.[Message ID]=User.[Message ID]
WHERE Message Like '*?*';
Access takes the '?' as a wildcard and retrieves all the messages in the database. Is it possible to get round this and use '?' as a specific character.. not a wildcard?
Please help
I have built a search form to feed information to a query. The form uses combo boxes tied to table values, and all have wild cards built into them so if the user leaves the combo box they get all the records. I also have to text boxes representing start date and end date. I would like to allow the user to leave these blank and get all there as well. I have been looking through my one Access book, as well as searched all over the internet, but I cant seem to find the way to do this. My filter criteria for the text based combo boxes are like this:
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![Company] & "*"
My filter criteria for the Start and End Dates looks like this:
Code:
Between [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![StartDate] And [Forms]![ReportDesignF]![EndDate]+#11:59:59 PM#
In this case of the user leaves the date values blank, the query returns nothing. I would like to return all dates if that is the case. I am assuming it is my lack of knowledge of wild cards and how they work with date values.
I am trying to replace a # character and all characters after in a text field.
U set up a Select query and used the following expression:
Expr1: Replace([Part Number],"[#]*","")
It doesn't change any of the records. Is this possible to do in Access 2007?
I'm using an Excel spreadsheet that is importing external data from an access database in which I've got a field where the name of a person checking materials out is entered. it is currently set up, and I cannot change it, as a free form field. So folks enter information in a variety of ways.
For example, Larry Martin might be entered as "Larry Martin" or "Martin, Larry" or "larry.martin@somewhere.com". I'm trying to run a query that would look in that field for any entry with the string I enter, such as "Martin."
I've tried setting the criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Which Last Name] & "*"
However, when I try and run the query I get a message telling me the system is expecting two parameters.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've been banging my head against this for awhile now and am thoroughly stumped! All assistance, as usual, is greatly appreciated!
How do I design a query to return a result in a wildcard format? So that I could enter a part of a name, and it returns all the names that include that part of name?

Unfornately, if the name of the company is not perfect, the record is not found and the form opens a new record. I want search box tyo autill, or "wildcard" when I begin to input a name of a company.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a report that looks up a previous date then finds the data that goes with that date. I went to run the report and the data now is blank. I am thinking it is because of the formula is looking for 1/28/2013 instead of 1/31/2013.

DLookUp("[Net Insured]","[CashFlow Link]","[RCNAME]=" & "'" & [RCNAME] & "'" & " And [Date1]= DateAdd('m',-1,DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date())-0,0))")
In my db I have a password log-in for each user. During the log-in process, I have a query set to run:
Code:SELECT tblSetOut.LogNum, tblSetOut.WoNum, tblSetCont.SetContName, tblSetOut.OrdAssign, tblSetOut.WoStat, tblSetOut.ThirdParty, tblSetOut.DateIn, tblSetOut.DateOut, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeIn, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeOut, (DateDiff("n",[ThirdTimeIn],[ThirdTimeOut]))/60 AS [Release if Greater than 24]FROM tblSetCont INNER JOIN tblSetOut ON tblSetCont.SetContInitials = tblSetOut.SetContInitialsWHERE (((tblSetOut.WoStat) Not Like "released" & "*") AND ((tblSetOut.ThirdParty)=True));
It opens up in read-only form that the user can print or exit out of.
What I need to happen is for the query to run based on the user's log-in name. There are three tables involved (tblSetOut, tblSetCont, and tblSecurity). The tbl SetOut and tblSetCont are joined at the field SetContInitials. The tblSecurity (field SC_NAME) is joined to tblSetCont at SetContName.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to capture the log-in name to filter the query.
Thank you in advance

I'm new in Databases and Access, so my problem is very simple.
I have a table with three fields: Name (Prim. Key), Start Date (Prim. Key) and Cost.
I want to obtain a query with this fields:
Name
Start Date
End Date (where the End Date would be one day before the next start date)
Cost
Thank you
I just started working for a company the other week and they threw this query onto my lap with an unrealistic deadline. My programming experience is primarily in VB6, so I am not completely familiar with coding Access queries.
I was given code that was written for SQL, and the programmer that came up with it is unfamiliar with Access, so I am stuck trying to decipher this. If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, as I am thoroughly confused and don't know where to begin. Here is the programmer's original code:
while exists(select top 1 accNum from NoteFile where patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',dbtrref) > 0)
begin
--Insert note into table
insert into #TL19Note(AcctNumber, Note)
select accNum, (case when patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',
dbtrref) <= 0 then dbtrref else left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) +
'%',dbtrref)) end)
from NoteFile
--Delete note from Note String
update NoteFile
set dbtrref = right(dbtrref,len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',dbtrref))))
where len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) +'%',dbtrref))) > 0
--Delete rows with no more notes
delete from NoteFile
where len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) +'%',dbtrref))) <= 0 or patindex('%' +char(10) + '%',dbtrref) <= 0
end
--Eliminates any that are CRLR or just spaces
delete from #TL19Note
where len(Note) < 10
--Update the date
update #TL19Note
set NoteDate =left(Note,patindex('% %',Note)-1),
Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note))
--No '@' means no time?
update #TL19Note
set NoteTime = '0000'
where left(Note,1) <> '@'
--delete the '@' - we know which ones have it because NoteTime is null
update #TL19Note
set Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note))
where left(Note,1) = '@'
--Update NoteTime, take time out of note
update #TL19Note
set NoteTime = left(Note,2) + substring(note,4,2),
Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note))
Hello, Really hope someone can help me.
I have 2 lots of info in 1 table - nameley customer address & posting address
I need to print a form that always has the posting address on the same side. but in some cases if the postal address is the same as the customer address then it is not filled in. hope this makes sense:
Please Im Really stuck
I'm a couple of years removed from Access and shaking off the rust. I hope someone can help with something that may be obvious but I'm missing.
I'm simply looking to pass the begin and end dates to a query driving reports. The calendar form includes unbound text boxes, txtBeginDate and txtEndDate. My code populates the text boxes correctly; the user clicks on the calendar date, clicks the calendar day, then the Begin (or End) Date control, and each populates the respective textbox.
But when I run the query or report, I'm prompted for the parameters. This is what I have in the query's Date field criteria:
Between [Forms]![frm_Calendar]![txtBeginDate] And [Forms]![frm_Calendar]![txtEndDate]
I'm just drawing blank on what I did several years ago to make this work. If anyone can help, I'm most appreciative.
i am trying to run a query from a form which will bring up the no of days difference between the start and end date also on the same form.
The query doesn't bring back any results can someone please guide in what i am doing wrong.
Here is the query
SELECT DateDiff('d',[start date],[end date]) AS [no of days]
FROM [booked property]
WHERE ((([booked property]![start date])=[forms]![booking]![booked property]![start date]) AND (([booked property]![end date])=[forms]![booking]![booked property]![end date]));
Thanks
Embarrassingly, I'm not even to the point where I can ask a specific question about the query(ies) I think I need.
Here's where I'm starting from and where I want to go... maybe it will make enough sense for somebody to point me in the right direction.
I have sales data that contains line items for every item sold over the past X number of years. For each line, there are six key attributes that I'm concerned with.
For simplicity here's a scaled down example of the data for each line.
PART, PART_FAM, TRANS_DATE, FAM_GROUP, TRANS_AMT, OVS_CODE
For each attribute, there are at least five possibilities.
I have been asked to find monthly sales trends on about 20 unique combinations of these various attributes. An example might be, the monthly sales totals for:
TRANS_DATE = 1/1/06 to 1/31/06
PART_FAM = PIN
FAM_GROUP = 01xx
OVS_CODE = 2
Then a SUM for the TRANS_AMT.
I've set up a query that can give me the information I'm looking for one month at a time, but I want to believe there is a way to have Access do some of the grunt work, rather than me having to change the variables one by one and copy/paste each result into my new file.
Is there some reading or previous posts I could review that might get me thinking about this in the right way?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
I am a new user to Access. I created couple of forms using wizard, but when I view them, they show me all the available data by default. I want to stop this, if anyone can help me plz.
RMA
As the post title says, is it possible to force a query to start its table record search at the end of the table and go backwards? The table I'm searching has hundreds of thousands of records and I want to check if any new records have a field with a value that has already been imported into the table. The duplicates would most likely occur near the end of the table and not the beginning, so I see no reason to waste cycles searching records from the very first record in the table.

Simple one for most, but I have having problems with a Database I am setting up
The database controls stock movement (i.e. inwards stock and outwards stock)
I have set up a Parts Inwards table with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty In
Stock Location
And I have set up a Parts Out bound with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty Out
Stock Location
Now for the problem, when I run a query to tell me how many parts I have left in the stock room i.e. Qty In - Qty Out, it duplicates the data in the Qty In.
I assume its got something to do with the fact that I have multiple Qty out’s for a single Qty In entry…hope this make sense?
Can someone help?
In a field “NAME” I have “Adam Smith”.
From this field I want in a QBE window (not in VB) to make two new fields “FIRST NAME” “Adam” and “LAST NAME” “Smith”.
In Excel there are the functions FIND and SEARCH with which I take the number of the gap “ ” (5) between Adam and Smith and with the functions LEN, RIGHTS and LEFTS I have a result.
What could I do in Access 2003?
Hi,
I am trying to delete a part of a string but not all of it.
For example; American Express Inc. I would like to delete only the "Inc.", but leave "American Express".
How is this done?
Many Thanks,
