Reports :: How To Change Enter Parameter Value To Option In MS Access
Jun 2, 2014I have Access database I want to change enter parameter value to option when I want to view a report.
View RepliesI have Access database I want to change enter parameter value to option when I want to view a report.
View RepliesI am trying to create a report, filtered on a combo box(txtname).This combo box is having a list of names.I have one query(mainquery) based on a single table(maintbl).I created a blank form(GenerateReport) with abovementioned combo box(txtname) and a simple button, which will open a simple report.In mainquery, under names column i am defining the criteria:
[Forms]![GenerateReport]![txtname]
Report is being filtered accurately.But when I open query i receive error 'Enter parameter Value'
I have a command button that opens a report.In one of my reports, this macro works:
Code:
="[eEmployeeID]=" & [eEmployeeID]
However, in another command button that should open another report, the code below does not seem to work:
Code:
="[echEmployeeID]=" & [eEmployeeID]
It just keeps giving me errors saying that there's a mismatch, etc. The field in my report that holds Employee ID is named echEmployeeID. If I write this code:
Code:
="[echEmployeeID]=" & "[eEmployeeID]"
it sort of works, but Access asks me to enter parameter value first before executing the where condition. I already tried to change [echEmployeeID] to [eEmployeeID] both in the source table, and the report but it just doesn't work.
So I have a report that opens via Parameter. The SQL behind the query that runs the report is (I took out alot of lines that aren't necessary to answer the question)
PARAMETERS [Enter Your Box Id] Short;
SELECT DocumentsTable.OrganizationalID,
.
.
.
DocumentsTable.Status
FROM DepartmentsTable INNER JOIN (Year1 INNER JOIN DocumentsTable ON Year1.ID = DocumentsTable.RecordDateYearID) ON DepartmentsTable.ID = DocumentsTable.DepartmentID
WHERE (((DocumentsTable.Voided)<>'Y' Or (DocumentsTable.Voided) Is Null) AND ((DocumentsTable.ID)=[Enter Your Box ID]));
So if I click on the report, I get a little popup that says "Enter Your Box ID", and when I do, the report works just as expected.
However, I also want to be able to open this report via link from another report, and pass the Box ID #. I just can't get the syntax right. I would have thought it was this:
Private Sub ID_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Find A Box", acViewReport, , "[Enter Your Box Id]=" & Me.ID
End Sub
However when that execute, I still get the pop up asking for "Enter Your Box ID"
Need to track donations in two areas. Have one query that tracks them in location A and one that tracks them in location B. Same query, no other difference. Report made on location A is fine. Made a copy of it and based it on the 2nd query--and I get a pop-up "Enter Parameter Value" for Last Name. The Last Name field is not in the query or anywhere in the report that I can find.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report and within the report I have added some text boxes with some simple logic such as sum, count, etc. These text boxes function well as long as the logic is referencing existing fields. The minute I try to have a text box reference another text box I get the "Enter Parameter Value" box pop up. I don't understand this as the text box I am referencing has a vaule based on what it is referencing.
Example: 1st text box control source =Sum([existingfield]) I get a value.
2nd text box control source =[existingfield2]/[1st text box] I get "Enter Parameter Value" of 1st text box.
I continue to get this "Enter Parameter Value" on my access and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have access 2010..
"Field1. Filename"
I have a retort that I want to use an option button to filter the report is a specific date is 48 hours before the current time. I'm not having any luck. Below is the code I have been playing with, but no go.
Private Sub NoMove_Click()
Select Case Me.NoMove.VALUE
Case 1
Me.Filter = "CLM = 'Now() - 48'"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Select
If Me.Filter = "" Then
MsgBox "The filter returned Null"
Else
End If
End Sub
I have a form and it is related with a query and by clicking ok I got the required results in Access 97. But now I have converted to Access 2002 and whenever i enter values in the form and click ok I get a Dialog Box "Enter Dialog Box". I read MKB article but it did not help me at all. Please help me out I am not getting any idea at all to solve this problem?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have searched other threads and cannot find one that helps solve my problem. So, I hope someone can help.
I have a query which runs ok until it is filtered. I have tried using criteria to filter the info I need but this returns an 'Enter Parameter Value' message. Running the query without using criteria works okay but using a filter in the report itself returns a 'Data Mismatch' message.
The report filters fine on fields until it gets to one that has been changed from text to number. It also includes an Nz formula. The formula in the is field is: CLng(Nz([order_no],0)). Other fields related to this also appear to be affected.
I need the CLng formula as the field is needed to calculate other fields using a zero instead of a null which would otherwise cause an error. I was given the formula on this forum yesterday, (thanks Bob Larson and AlanJ10), which was great in solving the other issue but is this is what is affecting filtering, (ie. a confusion between text and number?!?!) I have also tried converting the result of the calculation I want to filter back into text using CStr but this does not make any difference.
I have checked the field names and also renamed fields that were 'Expr' (as in default names for calculated fields), and cannot see any problems.
Thanks
I have a query and one of the fields/headings i have it create is a "cost" total where it does a dlookup from a defaults table.
I then have a "listprice" which is antoher field in the querry of which the data table sits.
I want to take the [listprice] and minus the [cost] without re-creating the dlookup function...
I need this to help with an APR calulction using the RATE function which if i have it do all the dlookups it says I have exceeded the limitiation and will be trumcated. So if i use the name [cost] it works but i have to hit enter because it says "Enter Parameter Value".
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thank you.
I have the following query that gives me this halt. If I enter without responding to it it opens in Datasheet view as intended. It wants me to enter Query2.EmpID. This is my SQL statement.
SELECT qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy, qryPolicyByDriverName.EmpID, qryPolicyByDriverName.DriverName
FROM tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers INNER JOIN qryPolicyByDriverName ON tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers.CWSPolicy = qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy;
I don't know why this is happening. Thanks for looking at my problem.
ok im am not sure if this is in the right place but it seems to be a form problem.
i have a form that has a textbox(text1) which is used to enter a supplier name, the user then presses enter and another form opens up with all the supplier details.ok.
the code i have to do this is on the afterupdate of text1 which is unbound is
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]=" & Supplier name
when i use this code and the enter key is pressed an `Enter Parameter Value` dialog box appears with the supplier name under the blue title bar.if i then enter the supplier name again it opens the second form and displays all the details i want.
If i use the code
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]"= me.Supplier_name
it opens up the second form without the dialog box but it doesnt display any details.
is ther any way to adjust the first code so the dialog box isnt displayed and just goes straight to the second form and displaying the details.
i have gone through as many posts as i can but cant seem to find a fix.
any help would be appriciated thanks
I have a form in which I collect approvals from two different departments. To approve an item the user selects their name from a combobox, and then tick an option box to indicate approval. The combobox is from table 'Users' and has a query as a source with the following fields, 'UserNum, First, Last, Password'. The 'approval' fields are on table 'Approvals' and are yes/no fields.
What I'd like to have happen is that the user chooses their name from the combobox and then ticks the option box for approval; when ticked I would like a messagebox to appear asking for the users password based on the name chosen in the combobox.
Is this even possible?
Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the contents of the "Enter Parameter Value" Box...for starters, I'd like to delete the phrase "Please Enter Parameter Value" as it means nothing to most users of Access; also, I'd like to format the text that I've entered in the query itself, i.e. make it bold, increase the size of it.
Incidentally, I did go down the route of linking my query to a form but this caused problems as I want more that one user to be able to view their particular parameter value at the same time.
Many thanks
Hey all,
I have been looking everywhere on a search form and its related queries / tables for a missing value / error that causes this pop up:
Enter Parameter Value
=Date()
The report opens fine once that parameter error is cleared, and I cannot find what it is refering to at all. Does Access have any tools to help me track that down instead of blindly looking at every component piece by piece and hoping to stumble upon it?
I found the code below to clear P.V. errors (I think anyway - I would rather figure out what is causing it, but after way too much time spent on it, I still have had zero luck), and I have toyed with this and am having no luck:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error Resume Next
Dim ctl As Control
Dim var As Variant
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(Me.RecordSource)
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
var = rst(ctl.ControlSource)
If Err = 438 Then ' Control has no Controlsource-property
Err.Clear
Resume Next
End If
If Err = 3265 Then ' Controlsource doesn't exist in recordsource
ctl.ControlSource = ""
Err.Clear
Resume Next
End If
Next ctl
End Sub
As always, any and all help is very appreciated!
why I get a pop up asking for parameter value of fields I no longer have in my table? It says this when I open my form. I deleted the fields from my form but it's still asking for it.

I have a query with several different columns. One Column, CodeNum is built based on the values in Expr4. When I try to set a criteria for CodeNum (Like "8*"), and I run the query, I get a popup for Expr4 ("Enter Parameter Value | Expr4). I want to get all values of Expr4 when CodeNum starts with an 8.
CodeNum is built as follows: JCC: Left([Expr4],InStr([Expr4],"/")-1)

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am building a database with about 50 nature reserves and all the animals that you can find in these different reserves. I made three major tables, one with the nature reserves, one with the animals, and a third where I created the links between the animals and the reserves. I also managed to build a query which shows me which animals you can find at a certain reserve.
When I make a parameter-query, I have the possibility to type in the name of the reserve, and as a result I get all the animals you can find in that reserve. So far so good.
But what I would like to get for the end-user of this database is the following:
Somehow I would like the end-user to get drop-downlist with the names of the reserves. When he chooses one from the list, the parameterquery should be executed and the result presented in a report.
Is it possible to build a parameter-query in which you do not have to enter the parameter, but you can choose the parameter from a list? Or is there another way to tackle this?
Thanks for your help.

All,
SQL backend - Access frontend. All clients have the same frontend. Everybody can run the queries with [Please input value] as the criteria. Box pops up, they enter criteria and sort away, works fine.
On one machine, after sorting the results, it will always ask 'Enter Parameter Value'. I've relinked all the tables, checked for missing references, checked the ODBC, pulled across a replacement client. The query hasn't any ORDER BY clauses in, it's not linked to a report, it's just a simple query on one table. Except it seems on this one machine!
I've just tried stripping down the query to a couple of fields and changed the field the user has to input on. Same problem when I sort. So I've tried another table - same problem. It's as though the query is running and then forgetting the criteria?
I really want to put the PC in the skip now but it's got to be something relatively simple. Hasn't it?!!
Any ideas as to which way to turn would be much appreciated!
Many thanks
I have a problem on one of my forms that is used for maintaining subcontractor info. I use a list box as record selector, and the data source is a query based on which sub is selected from the list box. The list box itself is populated by a query, which uses an unbound check box (IncludeInactive) on the form to either include or exclude active subs. It all works fine except when I exit. I have a close form button, and when ever I use it to close the form, it gives me an “Enter Paramet Value” message for IncludeInactive. I don’t understand why. The only place it is referenced is the listbox, and it is only used while selecting a sub. The really odd thing is if I exit the screen use the close window button, I don’t get the error. My close form button is a simple DoCmd.Close, and has no other code in it. Can anyone give me any ideas where to look. I have reviewed the little VB code there is, and I don’t see anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can I open a "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box to capture and use the input without running a query?
something like
Code:
ParaBox ("Enter the Hostname", vbEntParameterVal, "Hostname Required")
or
Code:
Set pDialog = Application.ParaValueDialog(mso?????)
I need a short string input from the users at application load, and I'd like to use the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog.I'm about to build a workaround that will invoke a SQL statement to save the entry to a temp table, but it'd be nice if I could just call up that dialog box and store the entry as a VBA variable.
I can not remove the Enter Parameter Value. In the attached date base, go to frmEvents, and double click on one of the shows, and you will get that error. I have deleted lines of code, text boxes, and anything else that is associated with the txtSearchS.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form which contains a listbox sourced from a query and several text boxes where the user can enter filters for the query. The query has references back to the form for the criteria, i.e. the filter for "Company Name" is handled in the query criteria as
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![HooversProspects]![SearchText] & "*"
When i exit this form in my un-compiled version it does not pop up an "Enter Parameter" box, however, when i exit this form from the compiled version it pop ups the "Enter Parameter" box for every filter I have.
How i can fix this? Perhaps change the rowsource on the query to null upon exit?
