Could someone tell me if I need to break this select statement down? I'm running into problems with the DMax statement since it requires double quotes around it's arguments. When the parser hits the first argument, it closes the string like it's supposed to, but not the way I want it to.
In essence, the query returns 4 fields: unique ID, week number, computed score (TotSum), and the computed handicap (which is half the difference between your score and the high scorer):
Quote: strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.HEDR, tblScores.WeekNo, " & _
"[A1T1]+[A1T2]+[A1T3]+[A2T1]+[A2T2]+[A2T3]+[A3T1]+[A3T2]+[A3T3] AS TotSum, " & _
"Round(((DMax("[TotSum]", "[qryHandicap]") - [TotSum]) / 2) + 0.1) AS Handicap " & _
"FROM tblRoster LEFT JOIN tblScores ON tblRoster.HEDR = tblScores.HEDR " & _
"WHERE (((tblScores.WeekNo) = " & inpWeekNum & ") And (TotSum > 0)) " & _
"ORDER BY TotSum DESC;"
What would the proper syntax be and/or is there a better way to obtain this information. After acquired, it is being salted away in a table which is recomputed after each competition.
Thanks for the input.

p.s. I know storing computed fields is a big no-no, but if you do not compete in a given week, the handicap from the last time you participated is used. This table will store the participants handicap as well as the last competition they were in. It seemed easier this way.
On an existing DB i have set a default value for a field. The customer has now asked that they be able to change this default. I thought, hey, no big problem. They have SuperUsers, so i included a little pop up form that lists all the current valid values for that field (from a look up table). If the default value needs to change a superuser can access this and select the new default. That works fine. The trouble comes when setting the default value on a form.
I figured a simple bit of VBA in the OnOpen event - Me.cmbTypes.Value = Me.cmbTypes.DefaultValue - should work. However the value it returns from the default is ""xxxx"" and as such it is read as "". I can work around it by removing the extra " " but WHY does it do this? Would it be better to set this up as a custom property of the DB?
My db contains an unlinked form that is used to append records to 1-3 separate tables (tests to see if master records exists, appends if needed, moves on to child records). One of the fields is a text field meant for notes. The VBA errors out whenever this text contains apostrophes or quotes.
Is there a simple way to recall the string field with quotes and apostrophes intact and append it, or will I have to validate and remove them from the string?
I'm having problems with quotation marks in a sql statement. The string is an array separated by a semicolon.
120/80;70;5'6";125
this string represents patient vitals. I'm using the string to update a record. But I get hung up with the quotation mark.
I've tried: 120/80;70;5''6'"';125 which is a enclosing the quotation mark with apostrophies, but this does not seem to work. The sql still gets hung up. My sql statment looks something like:
original string: 120/80;70;5'6";125
strPreOpVits = "120/80;70;5''6'"';125"
mysql = "UPDATE mytable SET PreOpVits = '" & strPreOpVits & "' " & _ "WHERE nID = " & myRecID
docmd.runsql mysql
I've narrowed it down to the quotation marks and I'm unsure how to handle these. I get a runtime 3075 - Syntax Error.
Here is the code that I use to convert the original string
Public Function FixQuotesInSql(strToFix As String) Dim lgth, y As Long Dim strTemp, char2Add As Variant 'This routine fixes the use of apostrophe and quotation marks in an SQL sequence 'If the apostrophe is at the beginning or end of the string it replaces with 3 x "'" or "'''" 'If in the middle of the string then replaces with 2 x "'" or "''"
I have been trying to convert string into double number format. I am running a SQL query in VBA that returns a double number format; however my understanding with SQL queries in VBA is that they return string only. The results are showing up perfectly fine when I run the query in the query editor; however when I try using the returned value in further calculations in VBA I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error.
Hi all, I have a query to recall all the events related to a certain employee by running a query and inserting the staff number, I then have a form showing the details of all employees; what I need is to add a button on the form that runs the mentioned query without having to insert the staff number again as the form is already showing that employee. Thanks Marco
I've got a continuous form, with a button (cmd1) on each record. Each record has a unique primary key, RecordID. cmd1 is clicked to open a form (frm1) based on the RecordID using the following code:

I'm trying to develop an application to help me generate quotes. Right now I have a spreadsheet with all of our products and their prices. When I need to generate a quote I have to find each line item on the spreadsheet, manually type in the item and its price in a quoting spreadsheet, and repeat until I've entered all the items. This is tedious and error-prone.
I'm a software engineer with experience with relational databases but have hardly any experience with Access, and I'm hoping that it is a good tool for this application. I'm thinking that I can create a table with all of our products and their prices, and to generate a quote I simply enter the quantity of each item in a form and have a report generate the quote. I'm not sure how to go about designing this though. I've searched far and wide for a template or tutorial on a similar problem but have come up short. Can you guys help me get started?
I work for manufacture company, we tried to upgrade to a new CRM system, 'Netsuite' but upper management decided to quit the project because it required more customizations then previously expected...
So on a daily basis I have to create quotes using excel.I look at the prices printed out on paper and type in each option and price for each unit. I've had to do this for 8 months and the company doesn't seem very eager to change this process.
I attempted to build a quoting system in Excel, using simple lookup and if statements. But what I need in my quotes was machine option filtering. If I select a model I need all options filtered based on the model selected. Each machine has 9 different options.
I have a nice little app that works very well except that the code is not tolerant of single quotes in the user's data. My problem is that VB uses double quotes for its literals and SQL uses single quotes so where does that leave me?
The user has entered a comment into a data field and I am now adding this to the record on the database. I don't know if the user's data contains a quote. If it doesn't then all is well. If it does then, crash.
Here is a code sample...
Dim SQLStr As String, Ret As Integer SQLStr = " UPDATE MeetingRole " _ & " SET MeetingRole.Comment = '" & [Forms]![Comment]!Text2.Value _ & "' WHERE MeetingRole.DateOfMeeting = '" & [Forms]![MeetingStatus]![List0] _ & "' ;"
However, i just changed the formulaID to TEXT in my table.
So I think i need different quotes somewhere at the criteria end of this qry calc because FormulaID is now TEXT. how do i fix this at the end of the field? thanks
A friend pointed me in the direction of this site, and I sure hope someone can help. I need to build databases that will primarily be used for creating sales quotes. I know my way around, a little bit, but I am having trouble building this database. Would anyone be interested in helping me?
I have a combo box on a form that simply selects a record from a 2-table query. My problem is that the data is Book Titles, which can contain both quotes and apostrophes, sometimes in the same title. other than eliminating these characters from the records, how do I make the simple vba code for the box work for either quotes or apostrophes in a record? The box works fine as long as the record does not contain these characters. (I'm a big vba rookie by the way, and this code was created by the box wizard.) Using Access 2003, Here is the code for the box:
Private Sub cboSelectBook_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[BookTitle] = '" & Me![cboSelectBook] & "'" If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
I have a button that generates text according to information in different fields. The text has multiple lines and when I select the button to generate the text it puts all the lines together when I need it to do a new paragraph after each line.
Sample: Me.GeneratedCode = "This is a test for " & Me.ServerName & "." & _ "The server " & Me.TestResults & " the test."
The above shows up in one continues line. This is a test for shankserver. The server Passed the test.
I what it to look like this
This is a test for shankserver. The server Passed the test.
I am assigned to create a customer quote database for our company. Now it is in excel and already have 40,000 records and increasing average 25 records everyday. The way they want to send quotes are:
- The number of items in the quote are varied from 1 o 15.
- Each item has six different prices, depends on the order qty and want to mention in different adjusent lines.
- Each item has different delivery time depend on order qty.
- Company's sales Terms and conditions need to be printed at the end of each quote in separate page. (two full pages)
How do I create the table to accommodate all these fields? Is it possible to accommodate all items/sub items in one table under one qutoe id. I have customer table, product table etc ready and little confused to create the Quote table.
Error I'm getting 'The expression you entered contains invalid syntax, or you need to enclose your text data in quotes.

How do I make quotes and invoices submittable with no product and service details? We use sale book tags and have a few tags that are voided. I want to keep them in our records as voided. I've create new quotes for these tags, labelled them as void through products and services, but I can not submit the quote. I think I can not submit the quotes because there is no Total Price amount. How do I submit quotes and then invoices for my records with no Total Price amounts?
I was looking for some help. I am trying to setup a table with a field for web address. People are entering www.website.com etc however I need them to make sure it starts with http:// Is their any way I can put validation on the field to make sure that this is entered? Or maybe I could use an input mask?
I need to make a new table from an existing table. Each field in the output table must have a leading and trailing quote. I tried to surround the quotes with quotes (" " ") Acess says it's invalid.
