Query To Return Table Name As A Value?
Jun 23, 2007
Hello all,
Is there a SQL function in Access that will allow it to return (as a field value) the name of the table where a particular record was found?
The reason that I want to do this is because I have a single table (Table A) with building address records counted and broken down by state and by month - but some of the records belong to smaller groups (e.g. Zone 1, Zone 2, etc.) that aren't states, but that I want to count in the crosstab as if they were. There are building addresses on Table A that belong to each of these four groups, so I need to somehow match the records on Table A with the appropriate Zone, and place the name of that Zone in the "State" column of the query results instead of the actual state so that I can then count the results in the same crosstab.
I had the intention of resolving this by creating three tables (with the listings of address information for each Zone #), then matching records in Table A to each Zone table in a query by the address field to get each record's appropriate Zone no.(if available), then using the results of this query in my crosstab - :confused: but I can't figure out how to get Access to create a calculated field that lists from which table a resulting query record came from, so I can't continue.:confused:
Any suggestions, if able, would be appreciated!

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.

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.

I have a table (ExportTables) with the following data
ExportTables
--------------------
MPI_CODE
MPI_IDS
MPI_REFF
REFFERALS
NOK_AD
--------------------
I want some VBA code that can loop through the table above one by one returning the value. The table data will change so i would like the code to handle change as well.
I want the returning value to be returned has a string i.e. TblValue = <table data value>
Because then i want to use the value to be put in this sql query- DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO TEST_DOC SELECT * FROM " & [color:red] TblValue [/color]
then loop onto the next value.
Hope you understand what im after.

My setup is simple, it consists of two tables:
Employee (one)
Position (many)
So an employee in this database can have many different positions. The tables are linked using an EmployeeID field.
I want to construct a query that will list each employee and the last job entered for them in the database. Right now my query simply returns all the positions held (where there are more than one)?

I'm currently busy with something for my thesis as a student and I need to use Access for this. I'm not too new at access, I know how to do the very basics, let's say on the level of [if field contains *"text*", return x].
However I am struggling right now on something that shouldn't be too hard... I could do it immediately in Excel if there werent millions of rows..I have 2 tables. Table 1 regards a list of patent publication numbers (eg. WO2012024604A3) and additional data (publication date, title, etc), only the publication number matters for me now.
Code:
Table 1
publication numberWO2011085209A2
WO2011100754A1
WO2011112983A3
EP2342192A4
EP2342192A2
EP2205725A2
EP2205725A4
WO2012006540A3
WO2010008486A3
WO2012083136A1
Table 2 contains another list of patents that might cite/refer to Table 1's patents and additional data such as publication date.
Code:
Table 2
Publication Number Citing PatentsPublication Date Cited Refs - Patent
AU2001287375B2 1998-12-01 US5178882A | US4225581A | WO1998001161A2
AU2001288365B2 1990-02-24 US5967154A | WO1996039117A2 | US3699979A | US3943949A | US3838702A
AU2001288437B2 1999-03-09 US6087157A
[code]....
Now what I'd like to do is to create a third table which has for each of [Table 1].[Publication number]:
Column 2) A count of how many times the [Table 1].[Publication number] is found in [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] ...
Column 3) In case a patent is cited more than once, return the [table 2].[publication Number Citing Patents] value of the earliest citing patent (so with the lowest Publication Date value).
For Column 2 I had expected it to be an easy count(iif( [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] = "*"&[Table 1].[publication number]&"*")) command but apparently it's harder than that..

I have created a text field on a form that uses the DateSerial function to return the value of last month e.g. Jul-06.
I have a table that contains months (e.g. Jul-06, Jun-06 etc) and a corresponding numeric value (e.g. 1,2,3).
I have another text box on the same form that I want to display the numeric value in based on the value that has been returned by the DateSerialfunction. What properties/control source should I set for this field? Or do I need to write some VBA?
Any help would be appreciated.

My combo boxes are not returning the actual combo box values back to my table, instead in the table it is displaying the combo box data list number i.e 1,2,3,1,5,1 etc where it should be displaying a property address.

I have a table (tblInstallations) which has records of date installed (for machines).
It is calculating that "next due maintenance" is one year after installation.
Sometimes we need to visit the site to maintain or service the machine before/after the specified date in "next due maintenance" and we need this to be calculated to reflect a year after date of visit.
I have a table called "tblMaintenance" which takes information about the machine an engineer is visiting from where originally the information are kept and that is in "tblInstallations".
How can I link the new date of the visit to update the record for "next due maintenance"...

I'm new to Access and VB but I managed to write parts of what I want access to do.By tweaking a code I found on the internet, I managed to write a small Subroutine that allows the user to click on one of the fields of a record in a report and then Access opens the form on that specific record.*My code goes something like this:*
Code:
Private Sub Edit_Click()
* Dim strWhere As String
* Dim DocName As String
* DocName = "FormName"
* strWhere = "[Field Name]='" & Field & "'"
* DoCmd.OpenForm DocName, acNormal, , strWhere
End Sub
Now I want to get the name of the Table where the record exists.So, let's say when I click on the "Field" it gets the name of the table where the record with that field exists and sets it in a variable.OR even better would be, get the name of the Form where that record exists but I guess that's a little more complicated since the record is directly linked to the table...*

I'm trying to create in access2010
(1) a query that returns the latest record (newest) in a table called 'Invoices' and then
(2) places this value in a form called 'FrmInputInvoices' as the default value when the form opens. Newest record is by Autonumber and the table defaults this to top of table as views newest down to oldest.
Re (1) Query is called 'QInvoices'; the values I want to return in my query is ID (my autonumber) and Invoice_No . Must be a simple answer to put in the criteria, but I can't find this.
Re(2) What code do I use in my Form field named 'Invoice_No when the curser defaults there on opening?

I have a form that contains a combobox. I want the default value for this combobox to be the Staff_ID of the first forename to appear in a table when sorted alphabetically.
The table I'm querying is called 'Staff'. Fields within are 'Staff_ID', 'Forename', 'Surname'. The table is sorted by 'Forename' in ascending order.
From the example tables below I would expect to return a value of '3' for example 1 and '9' for example 2.
Example 1
Staff_ID Forename Surname
3 Andrew Banks
7 John Jacobs
2 Mark Jones
8 David Smith
Example 2
Staff_ID Forename Surname
9 Alice Jones
3 Andrew Banks
7 John Jacobs
2 Mark Jones
8 David Smith

Basically, i have a table ("Transaction") with payment date and another table ("Control") with accounting dates and corresponding year/month.
Objective: I need to know which accounting year or month these payment date fall under.
Example: If the payment date is 18 Dec 2013, the accounting year should read as 2013 and the accounting month should read as 12.
In excel, this is very simple using vlookup.
I tried for hours using access dlookup query and i'm still stucked ..

I have a table like this
Stuff.
ItemNo Name ImageName
123 Foo 00123.jog
123 Foo 00FOO.jpg
123 FOO FOO123.jpg
456 bar 00456.jog
456 BAR 00BAR.jpg
456 Bar BAR456.jpg
...
I want to do a query to return just one row per unique ItemNo
So the query would return
ItemNo Name ImageName
123 Foo 00123.jog
456 bar 00456.jog
I don't care which one it grabs, the first is as good as the last, as they are essentially different names for the same thing coming from different systems.
I know there's gotta be an easy way to do this, but I've tried things like TOP, DISTINCT, etc and none of them work for me.

When I add a record to table A (using a form) the first field I enter is a date. That date will then determine which records I see in my drop down list from table B (via a query).
Some records in table B have EffectiveFrom and EffectiveTo dates recorded - because they are now obsolete, other records have no dates recorded in these fields because they active.
How can I view and then select from the drop down only those records in table B which are effective/valid to the date entered in table A?

I have this query in design view and in an asp page and it works fine:
SELECT dbo_feedback.*, dbo_origin.originName, dbo_product.prodname, dbo_category.catName FROM dbo_product INNER JOIN (dbo_origin INNER JOIN ((dbo_feedback INNER JOIN (dbo_category INNER JOIN links_cat ON dbo_category.catID = links_cat.CatID) ON dbo_feedback.id = links_cat.FeedbackID) INNER JOIN links_product ON dbo_feedback.id = links_product.FeedbackID) ON dbo_origin.originID = dbo_feedback.origin) ON dbo_product.prodID = links_product.ProductID;
BUT, I want to return all feedback entries, even if they have no matching Product or Category. :confused: When I change the inner joins to outer joins I get a syntax error in the browser window. I changed the join type in the relationship diagram in Access and tried to recreate this in query designer, but Access says the statement cannot be executed because of ambiguous outer joins.
FYI, one feedback can have many products, many categories, and only one origin. I have the joins correct and enforced.
Please help, thanks!!!

Each record in my table has six possible sale dates as a result of cancellations. My problem results when a record is sold twice during the queried time frame (SaleDate1 and SaleDate2). Currently my query uses an if statement and if they are in the same time period, it will only return SaleDate1. I would like to see the record returned twice (once for SaleDate1 and once for SaleDate2). Any suggestions?
