I have a date field that shows the date like 12-Sep-05 (medium date). I have a report in which the date has to display without the placeholders (e.g., 12Sep05).
I believe what I need to do is create a field in the query to remove the placeholders but I don't know how to write the code. Will anyone be willing to show me? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running a query to return records from a table. I want to eliminate records from the query if the values contained in one field are duplicated. I have tried using the DISTINCT keyword but it only works if the entire record is unique or if I was retieving just one field
Any suggestions appreciated
Hi,
just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.
What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.
Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:
If criteria X is the same, just display one record.
Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.
Thanks
Im trying to write a query that shows all the container movements. Yet when I run the query qryFullHistory I get a duplicate value for container Off Island. Ive tried adding some criteria that says that the DateRequested has to be between the ImportDate and ExportDate but that doesnt seem to work. There are duplicate entries for container Off Island in tblContainerDetails as the same container has arrived and left and then returned on another voyage. Yet there is no entry for the second voyage in the tblMEMRContainer.
A brief description of the tables is:
tblMEMR Movement requests details
tblMEMRContainers the containers that were moved on the movement request. There can be more than 1 container for each request.
tblContainerDetails details and dates for the container when it arrived and when it left
There are other tables but these are the 3 that are used in the query.
I am in the process of making a database and basically I have everything done but this saving, loading and adding/removing part.
Would it be possible for me to allow end-users to run queries that they could save, load, add to the existing table or remove from the existing table?
When I say Add/Remove what I mean is could a user of the database run a search of every customer in the state and then remove everyone in County X or on the other hand could they run a search of every customer in the state and then add every customer in a neighboring state.
Kinda like layers and again I have all of the criteria set up I just need the Save, Load and Add/Remove buttons on the form. I should add that I do not want users to save over the main table I want them to save it as there own text file they can upload later.
I have a query that produces a set of rows that contain product IDs and dates (sent). What I want to do is filter out rows that share IDs with another row such that I keep only one row which has the most recent date. As an example my query might contain the following two rows:
DATE ID
01/01/2015 1
02/01/2015 1
What I want to do is filter my table and under the condition that ID #1 appears more than once only keep the row with the most recent date.
I'm unsure what the easiest way to do this would be (or how to do it at all).
I'm creating a job/timesheet database and have a problem...
I have a main timesheets table that includes every job/piece of work thats been done (sometimes multiples for each employee each day). Each record contains a ref to the employee, ref to the contract, ref to the type of work, time taken and date.
There are then various tables that support the main table, which provide actual employee names etc.
I want to produce a query that provides the number of hours undertaken on each day of a particular week for each employee. So I'd have one row for each employee from the employees table, then a field for the sum hours for Monday through Friday.
The way I was going about this was
- to create five query's for the main timesheets table that would limit the entries to the five days in question - Monday-Friday. That worked fine.
- to then create a query that takes the employee name and using each of the five day based queries perform a Sum Total on the time field to give me the total hours worked for each day for each employee. That also worked fine, but the trouble is it removes any null values. So, if I only include the first day there might be 80 employees listed, but when I include the second day as well that goes down to 72 - presumably as 8 employees who entered timesheets for day 1 didn't for day 2. By the time I add all five days, I have almost no employees. I assumed that there would be a query level property to set, but i can't see one.
Also, is there a simpler way to do what I want? If I can get this working I'd like to replicate to breakdown by contract, job type etc in the same way as I have with employees.
Hello all,
I have made a crosstab query that is sporatically making duplicate counts. I'd like to know how to fix the problem, but more importantly - I'd like to know why and how my query is giving me these results so I can avoid making this same mistake again.
The relationship is set up so that all records from one table are returned, with only matching records from the other - so no problems that way as far as I can see. This is my crosstab query that is giving some counts of the same record as being matched sometimes two, three, or even four times:
TRANSFORM
Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID]) AS [CountOfDB_ID]
SELECT
[Testing DB].State, [Location].[North], Count([Testing DB].[DB_ID])
AS [Total Of DB_ID]
FROM [Testing DB] LEFT JOIN [Location] ON [Testing DB].[Address] = [Location].Address
WHERE (([Testing DB].[Window Length]) Is Not Null))
GROUP BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
ORDER BY [Testing DB].State, [Location].[Size]
PIVOT Format([Date],"mmm-yyyy");
When I do a simple query for a list of the records being counted by this query, I can see the duplicate entries and can eliminate them simply by adding "Distinct" to the select statement - but I haven't had any luck adding any kind of distinction with this crosstab that will do the same.
How can I eliminate duplicate counts of records in my crosstab? If anyone has a suggestion, it would be much appreciated.
To keep it short and sweet, my query set up is: Employee, Team Name, and then I have the same field in the column as I do in the data and it presents pass/fail data. I have the data shown as a percent of the row so that there is a success rate shown but I want to remove the grand totals from the rows because it is obviously going to be 100% every time and it's unnecessary.

I am linking to a txt file from an Access DB. I am trying to write a query that will return a field that parses the leading and lagging "s that are around the name in the name field, e.g., "don smith". What I need in the revised field is simply, don smith. Because I am linking to the file, I only have read access and thus I cannot delete the "'s with vba from a form.
Thank you very much for your assistance,
I'm not good with access at all, i'm basically after removing all workgroup protection from a database file. I have full access to the file, admin passwords etc, i'm just having serious difficulty trying to find a tutorial or any information regarding how it can be removed!

Hello,
I am totally new at this database stuff. I have been searching the archives for a couple hours and confused on how to accomplish what I need to do. I saw references to using a module but I have not used that feature yet.
I am using Access 2003. I need to remove/delete " - " space dash space, "-" and "&" from a string in one field (DGName). I'm trying to do this with a make table query
DGName
P1000
P1000 - SMLS
P1000-CA (not a type error)
UD000 - C&B
V-NET
and I want it to come out like this
DGName
P1000
P1000SMLS
P1000CA
UD000CB
V-NET
Thanks

Hi there I am extracting user names from e-mails in an access database.
I built the following command to do it
Left([E-Mails by Source - Test]![E-Mail],InStrRev([E-Mails by Source - Test]![E-Mail],"@"))
where [E-Mail] is the e-mail address.
It works great. But I still get the @ and the end of the name.
Any idea how I can get rid of it (other than using find and replace)?
Thanks for your help.
I posted an earlier question about an Access query export to Excel putting leading apostophe (') before all data.
To remove them I thought I would use Find/Replace but the Apostophe is not recognised!
Is there a way (programmatically) to remove the first character of each data entry in each cell in a column?
thanks in advance

I have two tables: “tmptable” and “CC_CODES”
Both tables contain the same data; however the “tmptable” contains updated data. How can I compare both tables and remove all the duplicate in the tmptable, leaving only the updated data.
I will be comparing the fields “IsMandatory” from both tables
I have a field that contains serial numbers. The serial numbers are entered in difference formats. Some will have dashes, spacing and periods separating the numbers (example: 06-65432 or 06 65432 or 06.65432). I am trying to create a search field for this and the different formats makes it difficult. Is there a way to remove all separators so that all parts of the serial number are together?

This may seem like a silly question, but I can’t find the answer to it on this forum. People only say 'Remove the table links' but never how. I can’t seem to be able to remove the table links completely, so I only have one database file (no backend or frontend). I can’t seem to do it though the Table link manager or any other way. Any help?
Thanks in advance

I want to remove the first four characters from a field in a query.
The data are not always the same length, but it will always be the first four.
Example.
vmc_ml120e21/p -> ml120e21/p
Is that possible and how??
Thanks in advance.
