Reports :: Get Data Fields From Another Table Based On 2 Dates In First Table

Anyway, I would call myself intermediate level at best with Access. I never expected to have to do so much with it, but when my bosses found out I could do Access basics, they began demanding more and more.

I manage an EMR from which a datapull occurs on discharge to various access databases.

They wanted me to add a triage patient data pull to track what procedures are being done to triage patients. So I built a database with the following 2 tables.

tblTriageVisits and tblTriageProcedures
tblTriageVisits has the following fields
-Patient ID
-Export Time

[Code].....

The tblTriageVisits stores all the patients triage visits. The other table stores what was done to each patient on those visits

It should also be noted that this EMR exports times in number of seconds since 12/31/1975, so TimeProcFMS is the number of seconds since that date for example.

The pulls work great and the duplicate record elimination method works great.

I have to design a couple of different reports based on this data and one in particular has pretty much flumoxxed me.

I need to make a report that lists each patient by date they were there and then shows what was done to them. I have tried several different variations of this as both queries and reports. The report breaks down when I try to get it to show just those procedures that would be for that triage visit. I got to the point where it would group by day and then sort the patients alphabetically. Then I added in the visit fields. And it would put all triage procedures for that patient from all their visits in each visit.

So, I was like great, let me filter out those that don't occur between the two dates, admission and discharge

I used the following two formulas (the first one on the procedure name field the second on the procedure date field)

=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],[Procedures FMS])

=Switch(DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)>=[Admission DateTime OB DateTime] And DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#)<=[LD Discharge Date/Time DateTime],DateAdd("s",[TimeProcFMS],#12/31/1975#))

And they work, sort of. They do eliminate those procedures that occur outside of the date range I am looking for. However, the access report still leave spaces in the report where the filtered out items would be.

Did I approach this problem correctly? And if so, how do I get rid of those spaces?

Note, I can read and mostly understand SQL, but am not comfortable working in it yet. And the Access SQL box gives me a headache, it is so jumbled up.
