I have about 100 quiz questions in a MDB File. I need them to be randomized.
I've done a pseudo-randomization of the questions by a certain column by using the ascending/descending order, but it is awfully obvious!!!
Is there a way to do it so it's like an ipod shuffle. Is there a way to randomly mix all the questions up WITHOUT the need to randomize by virtue of ascending/descending order of a column?
Thanks
My query randomizes the records, but i want it to be different
each time the page loads/refreshes.
Query:
Code:"SELECT * FROM tblImages ORDER BY Rnd(ID)"
I have tried many variations but cannot find one that works,
anyone here know of one that will achieve this.
Thanks

Hello all,
I need to randomise participants in an Access 2000 db into four groups. Let's say these are 1, 2, 3 and 4. This in itself is not the problem. The problem is that I need to keep the numbers of participants in each group approximately equal, say to within a tolerance of 4.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks very much.
I have read a lot about the rnd function to succesfully randomize the order of records in a db.
I want to randomize 2 columns separately . These are Q's and A's so if the db is 2 fields (the second -small- letter is supposed to be under Field 2!)
Field1 Field2
A a
B b
C c
D d
etc...
I want it to look like
Field1 Field2
B c
A d
D b
C a
I have managed to construct two separate queries which obviously give 2 random lists for each field but how to put them both together to achieve the above?
I have tried applying a rank order to each list and then linking them on that but the rank number keeps changing hence no link there. All I want is to link them and keep each column in the same order as it has been randomized.
Thanks
I want to return all the records in a table in a random order. I have a query with Expr1:Rnd([RecordID]) sorted ascending as one of the fields. I have a form with this query as the data source.
This works fine, each time I open the form, I get a different record order.
I now want to use Randomize to return a different order each time I run the database.
Using advice from other threads about randomization, I have put the Randomize in the OnLoad event of the form, immediately followed by Me.Requery, but I still get the same first record each time I open the database.
I put Rnd() in a MsgBox after Randomize to see if the randomization is working, and I get a different number every time, it just seems that the Requery is being ignored.
Any ideas?
The queries go like this at present :
SELECT TOP 1 [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer] AS CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table]
GROUP BY [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer], rnd([IDQuestion])
ORDER BY rnd([IDQuestion]);
SELECT TOP 3 Table.Answer AS Correct, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.QuestionText, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table], qQuestionTextAndAnswer
WHERE (((Table.Answer)<>[qQuestionTextAndAnswer].[CorrectAnswer]))
ORDER BY Rnd([IDQuestion]);
These queries are displayed now in an Access form "frmQuestions" which is applied to "Table" that has three columns id, text , and answer. The result is one question and four suggested answer with one only being correct.The arrangement of the answers is randomized--
but the choice of the question is not realy random....it always starts with the same question as it relies only on rnd.
can I improve the queries and randomize and rnd in the same ...or else can I switch these queries to be used from vb6 code and achieve that result.
any help would be appreciated.
By the way I am really a beginner at this who is seeking help from the experts.
I have a table (tbl_entry) of performers and the different sections they are performing in. I can pull the performers for each individual section but is it possible to then give the performers a random number that will indicate the order in which each will perform. Eg: 5 performers in section 21a

How do I select the first column of a multi-column list box (called "List1") for a query.
A single column list box works fine.
Code:
SELECT Tble_Employee.Emp_No, [forms]![attendee_form]![list1] AS SelectedCourse
FROM Tble_Employee;
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.

In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,

I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
i have a columns as 1. contactname, 2. firstname 3. lastname 4. email and in this columns some emails are not matching with the contactname or some time firstname or some time lastname so i need the to find out the un matched contacts from the database.

Hi. I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would like to take data from multiple columns and put the data into one column. Additionally, I do not want to exclude any data (union all) and I would like to group the resulting union by another field. For example:
Original data layout:
Column Headings: Sample Event, Depth 1, Depth 2, Depth 3,
1st Row Data: 1, 6, 9, 12, 9
2nd Row Data: 2, 7, 9, 8, 3
Desired data layout:
Column Headings: Sample Event, Depths
1, 6
1, 9
1,12
1, 9
2, 7
2, 9
2, 8
2, 3
So far I'm using the following SQL. What do I need to add or change to get my desired result of grouping the unioned depths by the 'sample event' field?
I appreciate any help anyone may have to offer. Thank you.
SELECT Depth1 AS Depths
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth2
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth3
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth4
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
Union all
SELECT Depth5
FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct

I have two separate columns in my query but they contain the same kind of data. These two columns data should match but some of the data doesn't. Can I write a criteria that will show me only the rows that do not match.
DUTYPOSC

11C111B1
11B111B1

For example, I want the query to show me only the rows in which the data in the Duty column doesn't match the POSC column.
I have two columns, one is number needed and the other is number stocked. How can I get the number stocked column to subrtract from the number needed column. I need to have it done in query. Those are also the title of the columns. Thanks.
