I'm opening a search form using DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acFormDS, , stLinkCriteria for user filtering purposes. I added a column which it now appears as the last column - I need it to be the 4th WHEN THE FORM OPENS. I can move after it opens, but it won't default there. Tried rebuilding the query and the form, but it still opens with this column at end of form - how can it be placed where I want it?
View RepliesI am having trouble arranging my data from a record row into a query that will give me columns for the pivot charts that I need. My guess is that I need some sort of a complicated SQL statement, and I know almost nothing about SQL. I have expressed the problem better, and with graphics, here: http://www.olypen.com/bhardin/RGB/RGB.htm. I would love to hear the solution to this aggravating :mad: problem.

dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name
If Me.txtLastName > "" Then
varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND "
End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
I have to change a few column names in my Tables. I am looking for an easy way to check all the places where this column name is used. In VBA modules i can search for its usage, but is there a way to search if the column is used in a form in one of its fields or if its used in a control? At the moment the only way I know is to simple make the table column change and then used all the controls to see where I get errors.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have added a combobox to one of the forms in my customer database using the "find a record in my form based on a value in my combobox" section of the combobox wizard.I have a number of columns in the combobox (the primary key is the bound value, and I have unbound columns for first name, surname etc).
I sorted the records in the combobox by column 3 (surname) so I can scroll through the list and choose surname instead of having to memorise customer numbers. Now I have more than 1500 records (with more on the way), scrolling through takes ages, and I was wondering if there is a way to adapt the combobox so I can (for example) type the first letter of a surname into the box and be taken to surnames beginning with that letter, whilst retaining the primary key as my bound column?
My initial thought was to base the combobox values on a query, and make the query prompt for a starting letter (or string of letters) each time it runs, so it only displays the query results in the list, but I was wondering if there is a neater way to do it?
I have got a number of queries that query an MSSQL database that were running fine, but then I decided to tidy them up by giving them more meaningful column headings eg Pupil ref instead of tblPupil. Some of the queries are still fine but in some of them I can't get the columns to display in the order I want. In one, I have got columns called Round, Pupil ref and School but I can't stop the Pupil ref column coming first. If I delete it and put it in again, I can get it to go where I want (ie second) but as soon as I name it, it comes first and stays there even if I remove the name.
Please can anyone help

Hi all,
I am wondering if it would be possible to do this:
Use a query to create a list of items from the column (duplicates removed) ordered by the frequency that they occur.
For example the column lunch
-------
|lunch|
|-----|
|pizza|
|kebab|
|tacos|
|pizza|
|tacos|
|pizza|
-------
Would end up like this:
-------
|pizza|
|tacos|
|kebab|
-------
Thanks in advance :)
Hi, I have a querie that returns various data based on the page of a part's Sub-Assembly. There are 4 basic items returned for each page that display in my subform it displays as follows:
SpecID - Page # - Part# - Description - etc.
4 basic SubAssembly Descriptions are
1 - A Text Description of Assembly as a whole (varies for each record and usually has a number such as 2" or 3" or 4" etc at beginning of field)
2 - Valve
3 - Selenoid
4 - Actuator
I want to sort these records so that the first field is that Text description field. I tried sort descending and this does sort descending but puts text field last. (i Know that this is because it is sorting on text first and then intergers. But I don't know how to program multiple OrderBy for this column. How can I sort by intergers first and then by text on this field? :o
Thanks for any help!
I create an inventory report which source is from a query. I have set a field "Date" displaying in ascending order in query. But the report cannot achieve that result.
My code is:
Private Sub PrtDelRec_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "DeletionTransferRpt", acViewPreview
End sub
So, I have some complicated calculations I am aliasing in my SQL query. My end goal would be to sort by my final calculation from all the other calculations I have performed but I am running in to some issues. I know I can't sort by referencing the alias itself without saying order by (column number). My calculations are usually pretty small (around .001 and up). Whenever I order by the column number I would like to use (select... from... where...order by 73) I get a "Division by zero" error in access. I figured this was an issue with how small the calculations were, so I multiplied by 1000000, then ordered by that column number. Still division by zero...I went ahead and changed all 0 values to 1, still division by zero. There are no zero values in the column itself, it's either 1 or something in the thousands. I can order by other columns, just not the one I want to use. I don't want to have to re-do my entire calculations in my order by clause.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhy Access 2010 does not save the Datasheet order?? I keep setting the order and it puts it back again
I have set the order in the design. I have set the tab index individually for each item. I says in the tab order that they are in the correct order. I reorder them in the datasheet and click on save. Nothing sets that order. It will revert it back to the order that IT wants every time.
Why does access automatically rearrange column order in a query after closing and reopening? Is there a way to stop it? It doesn't affect the usefulness of my query but I set the columns up in a specific order and I'd like them to stay that way. This is an update query. I see that it is grouping them by name. Anyway to stop that without giving each field a unique name? Screenshots attached.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subform in which I display a table in Datasheet View. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to place the columns in the order (i.e. from left to right) I want.
For some reason, right-clicking on a column header in Form View and selecting Freeze Fields will shift that column to the left but I can find no consistent pattern to it and no other way of shifting a column. Reordering the columns in the table itself seems to have no effect on the order they appear on the subform and moving the controls around in the subform in Design View also seems to have no effect.
I created a query, and in field one i have a list of SKU codes (of which many are repeats), and in field two I have their corresponding volumes. In Fields 3-5 I have some various algebraic calcuations.
Now, in order to get a sum of the volume with only one SKU code listed in column 1, I use a group by on the SKU code, and a sum for the volume. When these are the only fields in the query, this works great. But when I add in the other calculated fields, the run query returns to showing each SKU code multiple times, and shows the volume and the calculations correctly. When I change the other calculated fields to Sum, then I get the aforementioned overflow error and no output at all.
Is there a way to both set it so that the output is only showing one SKU code, the total volume for that SKU, and the weighted average output of the other calculations in one query?
I have a list box and a series of 11 fields a user can search by. My problem is that the List Box has changed the column order.
Example: In the design wizard of the list box I had it such that the columns were in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Now after I hit search the fields populate out of order... 4, 9, 2, 1, etc...
I've been using MS Access 2007 for years to manage some Excel data. running some queries etc. Just recently I've been encountering problems when importing data into an existing table. When I do it now, I get a "Subscript out of Range" error. To troubleshoot, I imported into a new table and when doing so, the fields no longer match the column order of the spreadsheet. They all get imported but appears in a different order. I think this is why I am getting the error message. How can I go about ensuring that the data gets imported properly into my already existing table? My fields in "Design View" will match the order of the Columns in the Excel spreadsheet.

Hi -
I am doing some relational database work and need to rearrange and update some date values to a new field in my table. I know that this can be done with a simple update query as I've done it before, but I have forgotten how. Here is what I am trying to do:
I am starting with: 050805 in my date field
I need to update to show: 08/05/2005 because this is the correct date:
I tried: CVDate(Mid([DOH],1,2) & "/" & Mid([DOH],3,2) & "/" & Mid([DOH],5,2)) which gave me 05/08/2005 from the sequence of numbers. Sadly, this is not correct.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I am trying to rearrange text contained in a mid function. my code is:
Private Sub MaterialA_Reportable_Quantity_AfterUpdate()
Dim USDOTlen As Integer
If Me.MaterialA_Reportable_Quantity = False Then
USDOTlen = Len(Me.MaterialA_US_DOT_Description)
Me.MaterialA_US_DOT_Description = Mid(Me.MaterialA_US_DOT_Description, 7, USDOTlen - 6)
[code]....
How do I rearrange the mid function to do this?
I use custom categories in the navigation pane to make finding the right objects easier (duh) but now I have quite a lot of custom categories and they are stuck in the order they were created in.
I would like to rearrange them into some logical order (maybe alphabetical, maybe custom) so i can find the categories quicker.
I have 2 Table that I will like to search in. I want to be able to search on a date and get the “ID” and the name of the column the date was found. Is that possible? I am thinking some kind of a Search-box, that will give a table/report.
The names of the tables are “2_PT_datoer” and “2_PT_CG_datoer”
In the first I want to search in the columns: “2U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “2U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, ““4U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “4U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”.
In “2_PT_CG_datoer” I want to search in the columns: “Tjek_at_blodprove_er_taget_1(udfyldes_automatisk) ”, ”2U_CG-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)” etc.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a column that has a bunch of keywords they are separated by comma... so for each row of that column it will have a few different keywords example: lake superior, river, mountain, lake wollongong
I know its a bit of a nono with databases to have columns with comma separated text.. well so i read somewhere anyway but the document i have been handed to work has hundreds of rows in this column with up to 14 keyword entries.
I have a form that searches through Item's names based on 2 keyword boxes.
Here's the criteria in my query:
Is Null Or Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase2] & "*"
This will show all records when both keywords are blank, and filter records using the 2 keywords otherwise.
I have a form with two text boxes and have set the correct values as outlined in Evans post. I then have the query set to run via a button. I run it but it will only give back records for the entry i have put in the 1st text box. This would work well for me otherwise... mine is like this:
Is NULL or Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key2] & "*"
Searchtable being my search form
key1 being my first text box entry
key2 being my second text box entry
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1
Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then
P1.Value = True
Else
P1.Value = False
End If
End Sub
But this hasn't worked

I am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?
