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
I have a form. That form has a combo box. That combo box is supported by a field in a table called Issues. That field is a Lookup field to another table called Contact List.
So my form combo box is populated via field in a table that references another table.
This works fine - and I can drop down and pick a person etc. Email address show up.
The form field is bound to column 1.
The issue:
I want to send an email to the person as selected by the combo box.
This too works, but the email TO: field contains the Record Number, not the text of the field.? How do I get the text of the combo box - which I can see, to appear in the TO field.
I have an access table which has a key using letters (A,B,C,D...etc). Against each letter there is multiple rows against each letter. However for testing purposes I only need to get a single row against each key and I was wondering if there is a function I could use which would return only the first record of data for each key?
I have a table that contains a list of news items. For each item there is a link to an appropriate image and a load of text.
I display a list menu of news items showing the picture and the first few lines of text. At the moment for the first few lines of text I have a separate field and just copy and paste the first few lines of the main article into it.
My question is is there a way where instead of having to have a separate field with just the first few lines in I can somehow just retrieve the first few lines of data from the full article field when displaying the menu listing?
Hope this makes sense, and any ideas greatly appreciated.
I've got a database of club members with names, addresses, contact info etc.
I need to send letters by post to those members that I don't have email addresses for. How to create a query to return a list of people whom I don't have email addresses for.
I know how to mail merge the info with the letter I've written in word, how to group people who's email address cell is empty.
I am trying to write an expression that will result in a date in the format (mm/dd/yyy). I want to display the curent day if it is before 11:00 am based on the system time, and the next day if it is after 11:00 am. Below is the expression that I currently am working with... but it is not working.
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.
I am trying to create a Totals Query which returns a data set between two dates. So far I have managed to select the data I want (Please see attached screenshot). However, I only want to select records between a date range working on my field [DueDate]. If I add the due date field to the current query then it removes the grouping and all records are displayed.
I have a complex IF Statement within VBA. When I step thru the code the if statement variables should return true but instead treats it as False. See '>>>> this happens on the 2nd Pass of a Do Loop Statement, the First Loop the if Statement Returns True
Variable Values:
Record 1 contractNo: 00001634 nfld: 33.40% nTier6: 30.00%
Record 2 contractNo: 00001634 nfld: 137.52% nTier6: 28.50%
so the 2nd if should be true but it acts as false an moves to next If statement.
Code:
If nfld = Format(0, "Percent") Then nOvrAmt = 0 BkOvrCalc = nOvrAmt GoTo cont: '>>> ElseIf nfld > nTier6 Then nOvrAmt = rs.Fields("TotalNetUSExp") * rs1.Fields("T6E").Value
All using access 2010. Here's the situation. I built a searchform according to datapigtechnologies video. Used a query with criterias on fields i want to search on the form: ex.
Code: Like [frm]![frmMyform]![MyField]
It worked fine i thought until i ran the same query outside the form without the criteria field. I filtered the query for the same result and the one used on the search form did not return all data records for that particular result set. Ex. on the searchform; I select the fields I wanted to filter then ran the query. I come up with only 9 records when it should be 18 I get with running the exact same query without the criteria and manually filter the results.
I was just wondering if this is a possibility to do in one query or if it has to be run from a number of different queries.
I am currently developing a database from scratch for work (with very little Access experience).
The current query I am trying to run, if linked to a number of tables with different information.
What I am trying to do primarily is link stock to a specific "Host Name", "Serial Number" and "Part Description".
In the "Host Name" there is for example - A1-TX10-10001, B1-TX2-10004, C1-TX-10004 - The latter part of the name is a unique identifier number. The first part is the compartment in which the "stock" sits. So you may have all three components (A1-TX1, B1-TX2, C1-TX3) linked to the same unique identifier (10001 for example)
The serial numbers naturally are different for every single one and of course the srial numbers are linked to the "Part Description" - which will read something like....."C1-TX3 Transmitter", "B1-TX2 Combiner" etc.....
When I run the query like this the Host Name (which is also linked to the unique identifier on its own (10001) it returns everything under "A1-TX1-10001"
What I would ideally like to do is write a statement so that if the "Part Description" contains "A1-TX1" it will only return rows that contain "A1-TX1" in the Host Name and the same for "B1-TX2" and "C1-TX3" in the same query.
If "Host Name" contains "A1-TX1" to return "Part Description" to contain "A1-TX1"
I've just come accross a problem where pasted data dissapears from view. It's caused by people being a bit careless and copying the line above (from word or notepad for example), which adds a return and then the data drops out of view.I really want to create a validation rule to make it impossible for returns to be pasted but I'm not sure how.
[Forms]![FormName]![Field] or [Forms]![FormName]![Field] Is Null
Ordinarily this works fine in returning either the selected value or all values if left null.
I need to pull in data from a Crosstab query, which means setting my parameter labels to [Forms]![FormName]![Field].
The problem is that setting the parameter labels is conflicting with pulling all records if the form dropdown is left null.
If I keep my parameters simple and just say [Forms]![FormName]![Field] then the query works with the crosstab data, but I can't do that. I need to show any records if the dropdown is left null.
The crosstab data isn't specifically the problem but needing to set the parameter names seems to be
I think I may have found a workaround by labeling the column headings in the crosstab, which means I don't have to assign parameter labels
It would still be good to know if there's a way of making it work with the parameter labels but this will do for now...
I have a table with duplicate records (which is ok) and I want to return distinct data for each client.
It works fine when there is only two fields returned however, when I add a third field to the query it no longer returns only the Distinct records - I am getting Duplicates returned.
I.E
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name FROM tblClient
Works fine with only the Distinct records for each client returned
However
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name, tblClient.Address, tblClient.OrderValue FROM tblClient
Now returns Duplicates!
Is there a limit to the number of fields to be returned using DISTINCT or what else could be the problem? Should I be doing this some other way?
Greetings, I've been banging my head on this for days, and what really makes this difficult is the number of websites which say it should work just fine!
I'm working with Access 2003 and trying to make use of the IIf function. I have given my fields generic names in the examples below.
I have a number of items I want to search upon in my search form. Each item has a check box and a combo box. I want the query to look at the check box. If the box is checked, I want the query to use the value in the combo box. If the check box is UN checked, I want the query to ignore this field and return all values. I thought this was simple, until I tried to do it!
Here is my code, placed in the Field-name criteria box of the query:
This will return all records where Field-name = 2.
So... my original code should work! Because no "false" condition is stated, the query should be blank, and should return all records. But it doesn't! Truly maddening.
Here are some attempts which did not work:
IIf([Forms]![form-name]![checkbox-name]=True,[Forms]![form-name]![combobox-name],>0) ---> The ">0" caused an error. In fact, I can only specify an integer - all else, including things with operators, do not work.
Working with nulls - it does not seem to recognize an unchecked box as a null.
That's the short version of the story - any and all ideas welcome!
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?
