I've got 2 different lines on a form linked to a table. One of the lines is claim status with either open or closed as the options. The 2nd field is "Date claim closed". I want to require the date to be filled in if "closed" in the status field. Can this be done? If so, what do I need to do?
View RepliesHi friends,
I am new to this forum, and I am facing a problem while learning MS-Access.
I am preparing a database that stores the marks obtained by students in a particular paper in addition to their particulars in tables.
A query is then generated to canculate the aggregate marks and result (Pass/Fail) for the student. It is then presented in a report fomatted as a marksheet, as well as one tabulation chart.
The database is very crude in format, but I am happy with it since I do not know programming at all, and still I could make it.
I have used in built menu of "ms-access" and mouse clicks only for generating query. It was a learn by doing method.
The problem is that my marksheets require absent students to be marked as "ABSENT" or something of that kind. If I convert my Null values to :
Expr2: IIf(IsNull([E_1]),"ABSENT",[E_1])
It shows ABSENT for null value, but refuses to make column total for E_1; On the other hand if I do not enter such expression, it makes column total in tabulation report, but fails to mark "ABSENT" to those who did not appear. So I have to lose one thing to gain another, while I need both.
Can anybody help me at this?

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?
I have a form that stores information about attendees for a given class. In this particular instance, I only store one address, one contact information both which are optional. I've used subforms, but that has bought problems (one notable problem is that one field from tblAddress is required for *any* attendee, which is county they resides in, whether they give out an address or not. At this point my VBA codes to work around this is simply too buggy and a major hassle.
Therefore, I am now considering two possibilities: 1) make a unbound form and do everything manually without any subforms or 2) create an updatable query somehow that can pull together the needed information. The latter, I'm not sure if that is feasible, so I'm asking you about that.
Address and Contact Information are kept as a many side tables, and different queries I've made in past only is either non updatable or partially updatable, which does no good. If anyone can show how one can retrieve only one record from the many side and keep it as updatable, that'd be great.
TIA.
I tried and failed to get this to work using a multiselect listbox..I have a list of departments in tblFunctionalArea...My main table is tblStatic..I want to be able to for each record select multiple departments affected by a record and store them in the tblStatic.After looking around i couldn't find many people successfully maanging to store listbox values in a table...
I decided to create 5 fields in tblStatic and in my form create multiple combo boxes cboFunctionalArea1, cboFunctionalArea2 etc etc which are bound to these fields.I want to be able to ensure the list for any combo box requeries and takes out any selection in the other boxes.
I have this working in a strict cascade fashion i.e. in cbo1 all dept's visible, in cbo2 it takes off whatever was selected in cbo1 etc. But if someone then jumps back and deletes the content of cbo3 then the whole thing breaks or if they amend in the wrong order it breaks
Trying to run a query using criteria to populate the query by looking at information from a field on a form, if from is closed I need that criteria to look at the table and return all date in table.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a downtime database that tracks units down, time on, reason down, etc. When a unit goes down, I log the name of the unit and the time down in separate fields. When a unit goes back on line, I log the time on and the reason in separate fields. All this is in a form. When the unit goes on line, I want the user to be forced to enter a reason only after he has entered a time on, not before. The “reason” field must be left blank until the unit is on. How do I do that? I have searched the forum for this and have not found leaving a field blank based on another field’s data. I will supply whatever you need to help me. Thank you.

I'm sure this one is easy, but I can't seem to get the code to work right. I have a field called "Discharged" and "ProposedDischargeDate". What I want to do is if the "Discharged" field is empty, or null, I want the "ProposedDischargeDate" to be visible. Otherwise, I want it to remain hidden. I want this on either the AfterUpdate or the OnExit event of the "Discharged" field. Here's what I've tried:
If [Discharged].Value = "" Then
[ProposedDischargeDate].Visible = False
End If
or
' if the field is empty, show the proposed discharge date field
If Me.Discharged = null then Me.ProposedDischargeDate.visible = true
' if the field is not empty, hide the diagnosis field
If Me.Discharged = true then Me.ProposedDischargedDate.visible = false
But this doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
I am working on a school project and am stuck on the last part. I need to produce a query for use as a report. The fields in the query are:

"building" is the search parameter for the query
I need to produce a list of names of teachers, if there is nothing entered into the corresponding archive number e.g. no data in archive 1 and 3 , so show teacher 1 and 3.

I have a form to enter attendance in that pulls students from a StudentEnrollmentTable based on FacultyName which is selected from a combobox that runs the following code:
Private Sub cboInstructorName_Click()
Me.Requery
End Sub
A query (StudentAttendanceBYFaculty) is run each time a faculty name is selected. On the form their is a field name TempClassesAttended which is bound to a field of the same name in the StudentEnrollmentTable. Teachers will enter attendance data and run an append query to append the current form records to the StudentAttendanceTable. Each time the form is repopulated the most recent TempClassesAttended values are pulled into the form. This is what is expected.
Now I want to load Null values into the TempAttendance field on the form each time the Faculty selects their name and runs the event. I looked at code online and it seems easy enough, but I don't know enough to make it work. This is the code suggested:
UPDATE TableName SET FieldName = Null
OR
UPDATE MyTable
SET MyField = Null
how to include this into the current event so that the event will return the faculty records with Null values in the TempAttendence field.
I need to add a Yes/No field to a table. I know I can do this in design view. Next I want to loop through the table and set it to Yes if certain fields are null. What I need help with is the VBA looping part and setting the boolean field to Yes if the fields being checked are null.

Introduction (I case I'm doing this all wrong)
I have 1 huge table of data:
SysID
PersonData
"
"
"
"
AddressData
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
TelephoneData
"
"
"
"
Year (this is 1 or 2)
I'm taking each component Person, Address, Telephone info and making a compacted table of each (i.e. lots of Jane Does etc, appear in both years)
Each table with have a URN
I then need to update the big table with the URN so move onto another part of getting this data into a usable format.
Basically what follows is my question on how to get the URN's back into the table:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a quicker way (or a way I'm not seeing) of doing the following.
I have a set of data 'tblDatabaseTable, say:
ID
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field4
In the database.
I have an imported file which will be tblImportTable, same deal without the ID:
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field4
I need to compare the data on each table:
SELECT * FROM tblDatabaseTable
INNER JOIN tblDatabaseTable
ON tblDatabaseTable.Field1 = tblImportTable.Field1
AND tblDatabaseTable.Field2 = tblImportTable.Field2
AND tblDatabaseTable.Field3 = tblImportTable.Field3;
Works great as long as all the fields have values in.
Is there a way to compare the tables and get results as:
Database
Ian MacConnell null
Import
Ian Macconnell null
Match!
without doing something like:
SELECT IIf(IsNull([Field1]),' ',[Field1]),
IIf(IsNull([Field2]),' ',[Field2]),
IIf(IsNull([Field3]),' ',[Field3])
FROM DatabaseTable
SELECT IIf(IsNull([Field1]),' ',[Field1]),
IIf(IsNull([Field2]),' ',[Field2]),
IIf(IsNull([Field3]),' ',[Field3])
FROM ImportTable
before comparing them???
Phew, hope that all makes sense, very long day and I'm........
Cheers,
I have the query below and it returns the number of cases for eache of the case status (open, closed or private) Some of the cases have no status, the field is empty. Is there a way to count the number of cases which have no status in the status field?
Can someone tell me how to do this?
SELECT
Count([Report table part one].CaseStatus) AS CASES,
[Report table part one].CaseStatus AS STATUS
FROM [Report table part one]
GROUP BY [Report table part one].CaseStatus;
I have created a form to select criteria for a table query (which ultimately will be used in a report). If a field in the form is left blank, how can I cause the query to not filter on that field?
For example, the form contains fields for Customer, Date Range, Item Number, and Sales Rep. If the user wants the report to include all sales reps how can the query criteria for this field be omitted or nullified when the query is run?
Thanks for any help.

First off, I want to see if this is possible. It seeems like it should be but sometimes I dream bigger then things allow.
OK... I have a form made in Access. There is a text field that I would like to be able to do the following:
If the field is null, a number will be randomly generated betwen teh values of 1 and 1500.
If the field is not null (we entered a number between 1 and 1500), then that field would be set to that number.
The field CANNOT have the same number given (we will only have 1500 records and want them randomly generated a number unless otherwise specified).
Can this be done? I made my attempt but it keeps failing no matter how I try and fix and such. I guess this is what happend when you haven't used Visual Basic in about 4 years.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks In Advace,
Tara (aka Bay)
So I went searching through the forums and found a thread that provided coding for getting the # of years and months from two dates:
Function fAgeYM(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As String
'Purpose: Returns the difference between StartDate and Date in full years and months
'To call:
' ? fAgeYM(#1/21/04#, #1/19/06#)
'Returns:
' 1 years 11 months
Dim intHold As Integer
intHold = Int(DateDiff("m", StartDate, EndDate)) + _
(EndDate < DateSerial(Year(EndDate), Month(EndDate), Day(StartDate)))
fAgeYM = Int(intHold / 12) & " years " & intHold Mod 12 & " months "
End Function
------------------------------------------
That's perfect for what I'm wanting but I'm doing it with Hire/Term dates. So I want to be able to see how long past and present employees have worked in the company. Obviously that makes the Term field Null at times. With the coding above it requires a date to be in the EndDate field. How can I change it to allow for a null field in which the field would essentially be the current day's date? [Now()]
I have an address box that I would like to auto populate with a double click event. Basically, if the location address is the same as the main company address, and there isn't any data already in the location field, then I would like the user to be able to just double click the location address and the field gets automatically populated with the main company address.
Private Sub Address_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Address) Then
Me!Address = Me.CompanyName.Column(1)
End If
So this works fine if the main company address actually has an address in it. But if it doesn't then double clicking the location address produces a run time error 3315 for trying to populate a null value.
I have a form that runs a search query.
I have an error trap set on a date field.
If (DataErr = 2113) Then
Select Case Screen.ActiveControl.Name
Case "DA_Start"
MsgBox "invalid date", vbExclamation
Me.DA_Start. = Null
End Select
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
End Sub
This will pop up the error message, but will trigger the debuger when gettin to "Me.DA_Start = Null"
I have a field SSEEndDate. I have some records in which this field is empty. What I would like to do is add a comment to explain why the field is empty on a report if possible. Click on it or move the mouse on it or whatever and the comment would show up.
