Query To Return A Field To Determine Value For Report
Apr 14, 2008
I have a field on a report which I am struggling to produce the right query for.
I have a table - tblTillDept which consists of a 4 fields. The first is the PK, which is the number of a till department. The second - fourth fields are names of 3 different branches of the small garden centre I am writing the database for. The values in these fields are the names of the corresponding departments. Not every branch has exactly the same name for each field.
Prior to the report being is run, a small form, frmCentre pops up asking the user to select the Centre they are printing the labels for. They select the name of the branch from a combo box (cboCentre) bound to a field list of tblTillDept. When the report is formatted, the intention is that the value of this combo box selects the field from which the value for the department is taken. I can see that I need to set the control source of this property to some sort of query, but I can't quite work out how to do it.
I've uploaded the database, written in Access 2000, here (http://www.moppy.co.uk/plants.mdb) as it's too big to post as an attachment.

Hi,
Im using square bracketed parameters in my query designs for user prompts. Now I want a similar feature to tell the query what field I want it to show. Is there a way of doing this please? - or does the fact I need to do imply a db design flaw?

I created a combo box that runs a parameter query based on the name entered in the box.
Is there some way to return the results as a report instead of in datasheet view?
I'm wondering if inserting some sort of code into the event procedure of the "OK" button (which launches the query) would work.
Would greatly appreciate help---

Hi,
I've been given a flat-file database to 'improve'. One field is simply titled 'Room' and refers to a room number in a school. I want to create a MakeTable query that will run through all the records and make a table containing one instance of each room number (for normalizing). Hope that makes sense!
Any help much appreciated,
Steve

I have a field in Access 2010 called Section Number which generally holds two characters. The characters can be numbers, letters, or a combination. Examples are:
01
X1
KA
40
Sometimes this field holds three characters, such as:
01a
02b
I want to write a query that returns only the Section Numbers that contain two characters. The instances where the field holds three characters are too numerous and changeable to use a parameter that says, for example: not "01a" and not "02b"
Is there a way to write a parameter that means "not Section Numbers of three characters" or "not Section Numbers of more than 2 characters"?

Hi all,
I am having a problem getting my query to work properly. I have read through this query section but it just got me more confused. I know some have used IIF function but it didn't work for me.
here's my code:
SELECT tblEmployee.UserName, tblODF.ODFNumber, tblQueue.Queue, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate
FROM tblStatus INNER JOIN (tblQueue INNER JOIN (tblEmployee INNER JOIN tblODF ON tblEmployee.EmployeeID = tblODF.EmployeeID) ON tblQueue.QueueID = tblODF.QueueID) ON tblStatus.StatusID = tblODF.StatusID
ORDER BY tblEmployee.UserName, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate;
I want everything to show even if one of the fields is blank.
Thank you

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?

I have a field created in a query expression
BirthMon: Format([DOB],"mmmm")
I would like to create another field in the query using DLookup to return the value of the BrithMon.
BrithMonthID=DLookUp("MonID","tblListMons","BirthM on = Mon")
This works good if used with an unbound text box on a form, but when entered into a query expressions, an error is returned: cannot find the name 'BirthMon'
Can I used DLookUp in a Query expression to refer to another Query created field?

I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField]
"kick the ball"
"return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new]
"kick the ball" "kick"
"kick the ball" "the"
"kick the ball" "ball"
"return the pass" "return"
"return the pass" "the"
"return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.

hey,
i have a customer form which includes a "Country" combo box.. the reason i did this is because i have a separate table with a list of countries and their VAT (Value Added Tax, you americans call it sales tax i think :)) rates.
i want this country saved in the customers table.. i need the country table to act merely as a source of data. Now ive spent a good hour tying to fix it messing around with the relationship between the two tables and the combo box itself.. but ive only been able to come to two end results
a) access tells me i cant save the new customer record cause a related record is required in the country table.
b) access enters a new line in my country table with the autonumber of the country selected on the add new customer form in the Country field.
im stumped as to where the problem is:// how can i fix it?

I want to return a value from a separate query and have that show up in a field on my main form. The field name from the query is "Six Month Date" and the query name is "DT6Monthqry". I want to return the value displayed in the"Six Month Date" from the query, matching the CustomerID in the query result to the CustomerID that is being displayed on the main form. The CustomerID is a text field.This is the code I placed in the Control Source property for the field I want to be displayed on the main form:
=DLookUp("[Six Month Date]","DT6Monthqry","CustomerID=" & [CustomerID])
The result of this displays a flashing "Error" in the field, even when I go to a Customer that I know has a result in the "DT6Monthqry".

I have a single table with customer information, one of the fields is a date field "LastContacted".
I'm creating a search form with 2 date fields (txtDate1 & txtDate2) to search a date range of the LastContacted field, and I need to write this into the query that the search form uses.
I have written this using Nz so that it can still return results if the search boxes are left blank:
Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)
This seems to work and it returns lines from the table where there is a date entered. However some of the fields in the table have no entry in the LastContacted field. How to code this query so that it also returns lines where the LastContacted field is blank in the table?
I have tried:
like "*" & (Between Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate1],#01/01/1989#) And Nz([Forms]![frm_AdvancedSearch]![txtDate2],#01/01/2999#)) & "*"
but this returns errors when I try to run it.
I'm using Access 2010.

In a form, the value of any field may determine if the other field will be true or false. For example in my form, inventory, if value in code is equal to 2 then the Field Table will be automatically false.

I have a form that shows employee license information. I also have a query & form based on that query to show licenses currently suspended. I would like to on my employees form to flash "license suspended" label if their name/record id is on the license suspension query. For all employees whose license isn't suspensed I would don't want anything to show. I can get the label to flash and to appear. I just need help evaluating the query and comparing it to the current record. Example I
if me.id = queryname.id then....execute label flashing, etc.
Can I write code to do this? Thank you

I have a table that consist of pricing for different types of products:
Table name: Costs
ID TYPE EastNew EastRenew WestNew WestRenew
1 500 4100 1000 4400 900
2 501 4100 1000 4400 900
3 600 3400 900 4600 1200
4 700 3700 1300 4900 3300
I have a form that consist of many fields that the user needs to manually input data. 3 fields on that form are the criteria i need to determine which pricing to use back on the table. The first field, which name is LTYPE, is a combobox that the user needs to choose as its type (i.e 500,501,600,700). The second field, which name is EastCoast, is a checkbox (Yes/No) that tells me if it's East Coast (East = yes and West = No). The third field, which name is NewRenewal, is a combobox that the user chooses NEW or Renewal).
Example 1, if the user chooses type 501, checkbox is YES for East, Product is NEW. Then the pricing is $4,100
Example 2, if the user chooses type 700, checkbox is unchecked for NO (which is West), Product is Renewal. Then pricing is $3,300
I would like the unbound field to auto determine the pricing based on the 3 criterias chosen. I read around the forums that Dlookup would be the function for this, however, i tried many times but it did not work.

The main tables are “Attendees”, “Registrations” and “Events”. “Registrations” is a swing table. Is there any way of creating a query to determine which attendees have not registered for a specific event? I have included a graphic of the table layout. I sure would appreciate some help on this.

I have a query that runs just fine and takes about 1 minute to run on average. I have vba code that uses Dlookup to determine if the query returns any records. The problem is that each time it runs it has to crunch all the data, all I care about is if there is any result at all. Is there a way to get the query to stop after it finds one record to speed things up greatly?

I'm working on a report called Open Orders and when the database loads, it takes you to a Navigation Form. You make some selections mostly from combo boxes, then click run report which runs a query then launches the report.
I want the user to be able to click a check box called "Ready Only". If the checkbox = True, then I would like the field "Ready Pieces" in the query to have the criteria ">0". If the checkbox = false, I want that field to show all values (*).
I have no problem setting the criteria of a query field to equal that of a combo box value (Warehouse Like ([Forms]![Process Form]![Warehouse] & "*") but have problems when the criteria isn't the exact same as the value of the control.
Things I have tried to no avail: Putting a Iif statement in the query criteria: gives an error that criteria is too complex Creating an invisible text box whose value is determined by the checkbox to ">0" or "" then basing the Ready Pieces criteria equal to this....doesn't work Trying to use the DoCmd.RunSQL with my SQL code that changes via VBA when the checkbox is changed...Get an error and the SQL doesn't run

I have a file that I want to import on a daily basis and append to an existing table in my database. The date changes each day. I want to create a query that checks to see if the date (of the first record) already exists before I import and append the new file. If it does, I want to show a message saying something to the effect of "This file has already been imported".

if there is a VBA command that returns the current view of the current active report. I am running code the uses the SetFocus Action, which works fin in Report view, but when I try to go to Print Preview view, Access throws an error stating that the command or action is not available in the current view - and the GetFocus action is the culprit.I can skip the GetFocus action if I know the Report is in Print Preview mode.

In my query, I have the week number and year arranged like this - "Y14-W11"
I want to return a value in a text box on a report if the string contains, for example, W11. In this textbox I've put the expression
Code:
=IIf([Y##-W##]="*" & "W11" & "*","2100000","BLAH")
But this just returns the falsepart no matter if the string contains W11 or not.
