Reports :: Variable Used In Calculated Text Box Gets Treated As Parameter Query
Apr 8, 2013
(a) The On Open event of my report contains a VBA Sub that assigns a value to a variable named vShow. (Tracking the sub in VBA shows that vShow is correctly being assigned the desired value.)
(b) I then use vShow to try to control a calculation that occurs in one of the text boxes of the detail section in the report
(c) Basically, the control source of the textbox contains (in part) the statement (vShow>[fieldA]), which is embedded in a longer function.
(d) However, when I type this in at Control Source box of the Data tab of the the Property Sheet, Access always substitutes "[vShow]" for "vShow".
(e) So what I get is ([vShow]>[fieldA]), which treats vShow as the parameter of a parameter query.
ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS AND HAVE vShow recognized as the variable I defined at On Open? Perhaps there needs to be a variable declaration there, that I don't understand.
The basic form (vShow>[fieldA]) does not seem to be the problem, because I can enter, e.g. (500>[fieldA]) and everything works OK.
I've got a query. One field is an expression on which I'm filtering.
A shortened version of the expression is Expr1: IIf([Status]=Active,"Yes","No")
There are other parts to the formula, hence why I'm not filtering [Status] itself, but stripping them out gives the same problem.I'm filtering on "Yes".What is happening is when I close the Expression builder, it changes "Active" to a parameter, thusly:-
Expr1: IIf([Status]=[Active],"Yes","No")
Status is a text field, it's a query on a single table, there's no field called Active.
We're using MS Access 2003 on a MS Access 2000 database file. There are several queries, tables, forms within the database. When we dclick a form the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box appears requesting input for "Enter Job ID#". The dialog box appears to be popping up due to settings within another query that is systematically called. We oblige and are taken to the results. When we click a dropdown box it is listing all the items in the database but it isnt filtering the contents based on the earlier provided parameter value as we'd hoped.
If I modify enter Design View and modify the dropdown box's RowSource SQL statement to include a WHERE clause all is fine but the provided value is fixed as opposed to a variable.
Is it possible to use the parameter value input from the dialog box as a variable for my dropdown box RowSource? I;ve already tried [MyExternalQuery].[Enter Job ID#] as a variable but no luck -- i just get another dialog box asking for input.
I have a textbox in a report that I would like to calculate the sum of values that are less than 600.Then have a second textbox that counts the number of records that have values less than 600..This is based off of a query with calculated fields..I have been working with a formula that looks something like this
=Sum(IIf([BaleETime]="<600",0))
But all I get is a value of 0.BaleETime is the elapsed time between bales.
I hope someone can help as I am stumped at present. I have created a calculated query using dateadd. I have a table that has date fields, ServiceContractAgreed and ServiceFrequency. The service frequency field holds a value of 3,6,9 or 12 in months. Using dateadd I can add the months to the ServiceContractAgreed field in a field called NextService, ie =IIf(IsNull([ServiceContractAgreed]),"N/A",DateAdd("m",[ServiceFrequency],[ServiceContractAgreed])) This works fine but what I want to do now is create a parameter query to search the NextService field, using the between operator to search between dates. I've created a new query to do this but get every record back, no matter what dates I put in. It's probably something really simple to do but I'd be really grateful for any advice!
I am trying to copy the parameter value that is entered to a variable so that it can be used to run other queries without typing it in over and over. Once my form is finished it will run 4 queries, and the current setup is that I would have to retype the parameter each time.
I'm creating a report to check for over- or under-stocked items. The report is working fine, gets all the records etc. except that it thinks that the OnHand field from my inventory query is text or something, at any rate not a number. I have successfully set the format of the field in the query to General Number, but that doesn't seem to have worked. Here's the SQL for the report:
Code: SELECT DISTINCT Signs.SignCode, Signs.SignDescr, Size2.XYdim, qryOnHand.OnHand, Bins.Rack, Bins.Level, Bins.BinNum FROM (Size2 INNER JOIN (Signs INNER JOIN (Items INNER JOIN qryOnHand ON Items.[ItemsID] = qryOnHand.[ItemsID]) ON Signs.[SignID] = Items.[SignID]) ON Size2.[SizeID] = Items.[SizeID]) INNER JOIN (Bins INNER JOIN InventoryDetail ON Bins.[BinID] = InventoryDetail.[BinID]) ON Items.[ItemsID] = InventoryDetail.[ItemsID] WHERE (((qryOnHand.OnHand)<=[Check for signs with fewer than:]));
I would like to append a text item to each value in a calculated field. consider the field name is "Division" and I want to append the word "Division" to the values put out by the field "Division"
My attempt was: Division & " " & "Division". This produced an error in the report.
So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname] =Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total" =Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target" =Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?
I 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 am very new to access, any way that I can have a popup box appear when I ask to produce a report and I can type in a parameter of my choice and it will produce a report based around that parameter?
I have a table that is directly linked to an excel spread sheet that is updated each week external to the database. I have to produce reports on the data contained in that table.
I have already produced reports that look for specific number and those reports are produced automatically.
I was wondering if there was some way I could open a form and type a number into a text box and it would produce a report around that number. e.g. "list all engines below X margin" and I can type any number in representing X and a report would be produced.
I am creating a 2 level report to confirm an order. Main report already created, runs successfully called as subform/subreport under "OrderDetails" form. Linked to master using Order.ID. There are two versions of the confirmation report that have different layouts for different program types.
The hangup comes when I try to add a "Class Dates" subreport. It lists dates of individual classes and Skip dates. I have created the subreport as "srClassDates". When I add it to the main report, it lists the records. However, when I try to link it to the Main report, an error message box appears with the "object variable or With block variable not set".
I have tried rebuilding both the main and subreports, rebuilt the query, have not found anything that changes the result.
Linker has been working successfully on other subforms. Report with groupings works fine, but I need data from 2 tables both linked to order.id.
I have two reports running off of the same crosstab query. I copied one report to make the second report, then modified the second report to change the background of column fields satisfying certain conditions. These lines of code were added to the Detail_Format section, in color below. The report with the extra code lines does not error--the original report errors.
Code: Option Compare Database ' Constant for maximum number of columns EmployeeSales query would ' create plus 1 for a Totals column. Here, you have 9 employees. Const conTotalColumns = 11
[Code] .....
If I say OK (rather than debug) after the error message, I can then click the button for the report again and it runs without complaint. And, as I said, the report with the added code never errors.
i have got a query that returns the top 100 results. i would like to link this to my report form where i have a text box that you can enter a number and the query returns the first of that ammount rather than going into the query everytime to adjust the results.the sql of the query is as follows
PHP Code:
SELECT TOP 100 tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname, Sum(tblOrdersItems.Cost) AS SumOfCostFROM (tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders ON tblClientDetails.ClientDetailsID = tblOrders.ClientDetailsID) INNER JOIN tblOrdersItems ON tblOrders.OrderID = tblOrdersItems.OrderIDWHERE (((tblOrders.OrderDate)>DateAdd('yyyy',-1,Date()))) GROUP BY tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.SurnameORDER BY Sum(tblOrdersItems.Cost) DESC;
I have searched and searched for a thread before posting this, there are some discussions on related issues, but I could not find a solution. This is my problem:
I have a table with Incident_Type (a total of 6 selections from a combo-box), Incident_date, Incident_SubArea(25 selections from a combo-box), a check box for IsStaff_reported and all these are recorded by Incident_ID.
I have created a monthly report based on a parameter query that prompts for start and end dates using a custom form for incidents.
Now I need parameter (again start and end dates) cross-tab queries for number of incidents (i.e. count of Incident_ID) that are 1. IsStaff_reported, and 2. Not IsStaff_reported. to show up in a single report.
I dont know if that is too much to ask for or is there a simple way to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated.
Hi guys! I'm working on a project where I need to be able to use 4 different text boxes as parameter query. I need to use this boxes dynamically, could be text1 and text2 and text 3, or could also be text1 to text4, and/or text1 and text2. Here is the code I'm using right now, but it is not working. I placed this in the Criteria for field EmpID
I want to create a query where the field being reference is an employee ID in a purchase orders table.
I have a sperate employee table with all the employees in and the employee ID in the other tables is set so that it displays the name in the forms.
I would like to set the query up so that when i type the name into parameter query or search form it is not looking for the employee ID number but the employee name that is typed?
I 've created a query that copies the records of a table into the same table, creating new records. (I don't know how this is called in english, sorry). For example if have a table with 2 records when the query is run I have 4 records with duplicates. The fields of each record I want to remain the same except for one, called code. For example: this is the table before the query is run:
surname name code tracy john 1 spencer bud 1
and this is the table after the query is run:
surname name code tracy john 1 spencer bud 1 tracy john 2 spencer bud 2
the code is also in an another table and is included in a textbox in my main form. Everything works fine when I run the query but I must type a parameter (code) to create the duplicated table. How can I pass the parameter to the query "automatically", using the textbox value? Thanx in advance
trying to pass a textbox value as parameter in a sql query.I have a multiline textbox and I use it to find several values in the database, so in this textbox all the values are pasted each per line and I have a small code to convert it to single line comma separated values.This is an example:The user enter the data:
[Text0] A1C556CC3C-TNNN C010070H13
The code convert this data to a single comma separated string and runs the query: ex: "A1C556CC3C-TNNN","C010070H13"
Code: test = """" & Replace([Forms]![Search]![Text0], Chr(13) & Chr(10), """,""") & """" [Forms]![Search]![Text0].Value = test DoCmd.OpenQuery "FindPartNo", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
In the SQL code I use the IN operator to find the exact value for each record:
[code]...
I'm passing the value incorrect into the sql code?
I have created a stored procedure parameter query and using access created a report that runs the procedure and creates a report based on a parameter entered:
1) I wanted to know if I can specify a default paramter so if I do not input it returns all records?
2) Can I create a stored procedure so it asks for month, for example if I had a createdDate field of data type datetime and wanted to return records for a specific month?
My problem is when I do this I get a pop up asking for a Parameter Value. but there is text in Text89. How to I get a round the Parameter Value box coming up an automatically do this. If I type the first four letters in to the Parameter Value it finds it on Consignment Guide.
I am trying to use Dcount to find the number of records in a query and put it on a text box in the header of a report. The query is a parameter query. The button opens a form which asks for start and end dates, the query reads those dates from the form and the report displays the correct number of records that fall within the date range. The query is based on another query, which is based on the table. I tried =dcount("*","qryName") but I get #error. Maybe becauase of dates? or parameters?
In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)
I'm trying to create a simple chart in Access but I can't seem to do it. I can create it very easily in Excel. It's just a simple posting of values that I want to give a report on with every record. I'm including an example of what I would like to do...(but with ACCESS, not Excel)
It's basically a set of scores for students. I remember reading somewhere how someone created a chart using VBA with boxes, and not the charting system in ACCESS but I can't seem to find that again.
Also, I want to be able to report on each student separately. That is, they are doing 6 tests and I want to show how they did on those tests with a simple bar graph.
