Situation: When logging into my network I record several key information about every computer. The only two fields that concern me at the moment are Username and Computername. I am trying to retrieve the user of each machine. My problem is sometimes users will log into machines that are not theirs. This situation can make my queries somewhat inacurate as I will explain below.
What I would like is to individualise this information to the specific party in one complete sql statement. So that I can run the statment with each machine as the variable and allow it to pull the appropriate information for the user.
Example:
JSmith uses comp1 Tjones uses comp2
What I have tried so far:
Max() this seems to treat them as alphabetic characters and returns the user with the highest alpha/numeric value that has logged onto the computer.
Min() see Max()
Last() this seems to be the most accurate option I have, because it should be correct 90% of the time. Though it still has its inherent flaws as the primary user does not have to be the last user necessarily.
I have tried to look for information in both my help file and this website, if someone would please point me in a direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
This seems like a really simple problem, but I can't figure it out...
-I have a table that contains machine problems, and their duration times -I made a query that filters the problems based on the date of occurance, and adds up the duration times for a specified problem for the date range
Question: How do I get it to display the top 5 (i.e. 5 with the longest duration) problems? Can the max function work for more than one record? :confused:
I have a table that keeps track of how many times an account is listed. I want to write a query that will only return the greatest number of occurences for that account. For example if acct 12345 has 3 occurences in the database I only want to return the information that is associated with the #3 occurence. As stated there is a field that calculates the number of occurences for each account so in this case there would be a record for 1, 2, and 3 occurence so I only want to see #3. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField] "kick the ball" "return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new] "kick the ball" "kick" "kick the ball" "the" "kick the ball" "ball" "return the pass" "return" "return the pass" "the" "return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Maybe I've been looking at the monitor for too long but... I need to have a query return data based on a date field or return all dates greater than 1/1/2001 if left blank.
criteria: [Enter date - mm/dd] Or >#1/1/2001#
When I leave it blank it gives me all dates as it's supposed to but when I type a date it does not filter by that date, I still get everything.
I also tried [Enter date - mm/dd] Or Like "*" but it behaves the same way. I know it has got to be easy but my skull may be too thick to let me see it.
In a query, I am using the following code to return the average length of each tenancy. This works fine unless the length is 0. If so, it only brings back 'blank'. How can I change this code to return a 0 value?
Can anyone tell me how to send a Carrage Return in Access? When I try to use the 'SendKeys with{Enter}', Access starts to run in an endless loop that seems to be some Wizard. All I want to do is go to a new line within the same text field.
Can any one help me? I'm an amature at Access and VBA.
I am creating a database for a hyperthetical car hire company. I have created three tables, customer table, car table and bookng table. The customer table is linked to the booking table using a Customer ID (autonumber). The car table is linked to the booking table using NumberPlate. The primary key for the booking table is Booking ID.
The cars are catagorised in different groups e.g. hatchback, sports car etc. The customer will choose a car type which is entered into the booking table. They will also enter the dates for which they want to hire their car.
I want my database to take these dates and the type of car, search through the car table and return a list of cars of that type which are availiable on these dates.
When running a query, I want to hide duplicates records for a given field. PO# will have many duplicates, depending on how many part numbers were order on the same PO#. Other unique fields are not displayed. Can an expression help with this? If not, how do I go about hiding them in a query?
When the SSN field is null I would like this query to return : 000000000, is this possible and if so could you show me how? Thanks
SELECT [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].IVA_MEMBER_ID AS [IVA #], [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].MEM_SSN AS SSN, Sum([CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].AMT_DISBURSE) AS AMT, [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].DT_DISBURSE AS [DATE] INTO [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY TBL2]
FROM [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY]
GROUP BY [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].IVA_MEMBER_ID, [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].MEM_SSN, [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].DT_DISBURSE ORDER BY [CASEHEADS RECEIVING NON WELFARE MONEY].IVA_MEMBER_ID;
I hope this is a simple query becuase my brain has drawn a blank on it.
I have a query with a parameter which a form textbox. If the text box has X value I want to use one list of parameters and if has Y I want to list all rows in the query.
Hi. I have 2 queries, one that returns all the project numbers in the db (say 50 projects), and one that returns some of the project numbers (say 30 projects)
I can make a query that combines the 2 queries, and it returns project numbers that are in both queries (30 projects), but I would like the query to return the 20 projects that are in first query, but NOT in the second query.......does this make sense?
I am sure this is fairly easy.......it has just got me stumped!!
I have three queries that count non-compliant records in each of three catagories per month. One catagory has records for both Jan and Feb and returns the rersults as follows: Jan 3 Feb 4 The other two vatagories however have no non-compliant records for January so they return as follows: Feb 2 Feb 1 I wanted to tie the three queries together in the form for reporting:
Cat 1 Cat 2 Cat 3 Jan 3 0 0 Feb 4 2 1
Is there any way for the queries to return a zero for any month with no records rather than not returning the month at all? Thanks for any help.
This is probably the first of many questions. I have an Access2000 DB with two tables. Each has a field called ParID. I want to have a form with Table1 and Table2 listed. I want to query on a parcel number I keyin. If Table1 has the number in it, I want the form to note such. The same goes for Table2.
Example: Keyin: 123
If Table1 has 123 in it and Table2 does not, my form would note:
Table1= YES Table2= NO
If they both had 123 in it: Table1= YES Table2= YES
Is there a good way to return an id that is created when I insert values into a database? So I have this: INSERT INTO assignedReview ( reviewUser, reviewedEmpuser) VALUES (@reviewUser, @reviewedEmpuser); And from that I want to get the reviewID that is generated (setup as a random autonumber) on the INSERT to pass back the user.
I am looking up a product based on a unique code in tblProducts...I need to return one of two values
If the value of [Product type] = "multi" then return "multi" else If the value of [Product type] = "solo" then return the value of the non empty field in a range of fields
for example
tblProducts PID (key) | PACKAGE TYPE | RED | YELLOW | BLUE C13T0714010 | single | <empty>| yellow | <empty> C13T0754010 | multi | red | yellow | blue
