Reverse One-to-many Query?
Oct 14, 2005I have a one-to-many-relationship set up. Now I need to jam each related many into one field in a new table to make it like a list. Is there an easy way to do this?

Reverse Engineering!!!
Sep 21, 2005Hi
Im working on an Access Database at work. It records the training undertaken by NHS clinical, managerial and admin staff in Brighton. It is used also to generate invoices etc.
I have a better knowledge of access than anyone else here (outside of IT department obviously) so I have been asked to get rid of some glitches and add some functions.
A big hurdle I have found is this:
I can very easily for example, add a command button to open a form, run a query etc, using the wizard.
However I am trying to ascertain what some particular command buttons actually DO. Am I right in thinking there is no way of "reverse engineering" using the Wizard or similar? Because the only thing I can find is Properties > Event > Onclick [eventprocedure] and if you click on build you just get visual basic which I sadly dont understand.
Im not sure if ive made any sense at all. In essence, im saying that making stuff seems easy, but working backwards and dissecting it seems to only result in VB code.
Is there a way around this?

Is There Anyway To Reverse Splitting A Database?
Sep 14, 2005I split a database and created a backend but now I dont need it and I accidentally deleted the backend while I was updating the file folder and it was on the network so it's gone for good.
Is there a way to reverse splitting a database so it no longer requires the back end?

View 8 Replies View RelatedHow To Use Stephen Lebans Calendar In 'reverse'?
Feb 8, 2006Hi.
I've downloaded Stephen Leban's nifty calendar and have it working beautifully to enter in dates and ranges of dates to a fishing schedule table (this is a fishing regulations database). (thanks to RuralGuy for posting the link to this, and other calendars, on another thread)
I have a form for entering some parameters to narrow the results of a select query that shows the start and end dates for individual blocks of consecutive time for each scheduled fishery. (Some fisheries might be scheduled to occur every thursday and friday for a couple of months, or other hard-to-predict ranges of time.)
What I would like to do next is to click a button on the form to make the calendar appear with all the dates where fishing is scheduled to occur (from the query results) be highlighted, or circled (or something equivalent).
My vba 'skills' are not up to tinkering with his class module without some serious assistance. Has anyone tried something similar to this with his calendar? Is it even possible?
I have seen other calendars that do something similar (though I'm still in over my head trying to figure out the modules) but I'd really like to keep with Stephen Leban's calendar since it allows much more felxibility in displaying over various time intervals.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
Combo Box Subform 'Reverse Lookup?'
Jun 9, 2006I have two tables A and B. There is a 1 to many relationship between A and B. Table A's data is controlled by FormA, Table B's data is controlled by FormB which is a subform on FormA. I already have a combo box for navigation on FormA, however I would also like to be able to have a combo box on FormB (FormA's subform) for navigation, so that when I choose an record from the subforms (FormB) combo box, FormA then jumps to the 1 record from FormA that contains the related record choosen in the SubFormB's combo box (along with the subforms choosen record on the subform) .
Kindalike the combo box on FormA, except it's a 'reverse lookup' if that makes sense. Is this at all possible, does this even make sense? :confused:

Queries :: Need Function To Reverse LName / FName
Aug 21, 2014I have a table with data that is imported from another application. The employee name is showing up as LName, FName. What function can I use to make these FName LName with no comma? I know I may have to do a two step to separate the two then concatanate but not sure how to do it.
UTA: I figured out LName: Trim(Left([ApprovedByFullName],InStr([ApprovedByFullName],",")-1)) to pull the last name minus the comma. How do I pull the first name?
Copyright Issues, Reverse Engineering, Software Protection
Mar 22, 2006Hi everyone,
I have learnt so much here and I could do with some advise from all of you.
Recently I have developed a software using MS Access and I am in the process of getting Copyrights, Trademark rights for my software.
The software is to be distributed via the internet for personal use. However, I have been having serious concerns about people trying to reverse engineer the code and selling it under another name.
The last thing I would want is someone else making money off pawning this. Not only does it bring bad credibility but can really dent the business end for me.
Can anyone please suggest any way that I can block anybody from reverse engineering the code.
Also how can I make my program user specific and tamper proof??
Thanks and appreciate your help.
Forms :: Populating Controls Based On Input In Others From Reverse
Aug 3, 2015I'm using I have a secondary control being populated by an entry from another control. I was able to find the code I needed to do this using a combo box here in this forum.
me.txtDependent=me.cboPrimary.column(#)
(specifics changed to protect my company's paranoid view of privacy)
the code itself was showing up in the secondary control instead of any value. I found though that moving the code from the On Change event for the primary control to the On Current event for the form itself everything is working beautifully.
However, I have a different task now that I need to be able to accomplish with the same two tables but in the opposite direction. I suspect that I'm going to need to create a second set of controls and maybe even a second relationship or table to do this. To use a set of specifics that I think will get this point across, if I had a master table which includes a field for "City" and a secondary table, CityState, which contains both "City" and "State", and two controls, a combo box cboCityState to look up the specific City and a text box, txtState to display the State, putting the following code in the City combo box's On Change event populates a text box with the State when the specific City is selected, or putting it in the form's On Current event will be sure that State shows up in all the copies of a form when the form is used in a search and the City is not changed :
me.txtState=me.cboCityState.column(2)
What I need to do now is to set up a control which allows me to type in the State and have the results show all records that include that State.
I'm using this in a Filter by Form environment. I know the objections to this method and the benefits to creating a dedicated search form, but this method appears to be working well in all other ways for us for now. I have several situations within this form where I have one control showing up at the initial load of the form and at the beginning of the filtering process, allowing selection of multiple values from a long list of values in a list box, for instance, (using the On Filter event) and other controls showing up as a result of the filtering process, to display the selected criteria only, for instance (using the On Apply Filter event), so I'm aware of how to make this work if that's required. I'm thinking I may need to create a second control, something like txtStateInput, to accept the State search criteria and another, something like txtCityResults, to show the cities that are part of the resultant records.
Modules & VBA :: Email Address Validity - Reverse DNS Check
Jun 13, 2013One of my clients has asked me to look at building a way to check if the email addresses they are capturing in my CRM are valid. He want's to go beyond checking for no "@" etc.
From what I've seen, it looks like a reverse DNS check (might be totally wrong) is the way to go. IE: check if the email is valid. I've see a few tools online that can do it one by one (which I could parse to if I had to) - but ideally I'd like to be able to run this from a VBA script.
Query In Forms Question (printing A Single Selected Query Record From A Form?)
Oct 19, 2004What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?
I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.
So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.
Thanks in advance

Queries :: Join Results Of Unmatched Query With Matched Query To Include Null
Mar 24, 2013I am trying to do the good 'ol sales report (query) to include customers with no sales.
I have a customers table, account number table, sales table & sales (line) detail table. (all linked in that order)
If I run a query to show customers (in the customer table) with account numbers, that works
An unmatched query to show customer without an account number works (but of course the unmatched account number field isn't shown).
How can I get the two two be shown together with the "unmatched" having a null or 0 for their account number?
I am guessing in principle, the resulting solution can be modified to show customers without sales alongside those with sales?
Queries :: Opening Design View Of Append Query Without Timing Out Source Query
Mar 4, 2015In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
UNION Query MS Jet Database Engine Cannot Find The Input Table Or Query.
Oct 28, 2005Hello All,
I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".
Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.
I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Queries :: Export Query To Excel Then Delete Query Data From Table
Nov 20, 2013I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
Queries :: Update A Query Based On Results From Another Query Using Count Function
Apr 2, 2013I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
Queries :: Crsosstab Query Doesn't Recognize Expression In Source Query
Aug 12, 2015I have a query where these are the fields:
ProductRevType
RevLag
RevFlowThru
CloseMoYr
ProjRevDate
CurrentMRC
ProjRevMRC
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?

Blank Fields In Crosstab Query Based On Previous Query
May 31, 2006:confused:
I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made.
There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE
SELECT qryTest2.CID
FROM qryTest2
GROUP BY qryTest2.CID
PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
-----------
qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#]
GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE
HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In"))
ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
Thanks for you time! :)
Show All Records From One Query And The Sum Of A Field In A Related Query Record
Mar 8, 2005I'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
Can someone see where I’m going wrong?

Queries :: Query To Insert Missing Rows From Another Query / Table
Oct 8, 2013I am using an Access 2010 DB to keep track of a schedule. Essentially, at least one person needs to be signed up to work for every hour of every day in a week.
Tables:
Days with 7 records
Hours with 24 records
Workers with as many people that sign up to work the different hours
Schedule signifying the worker, day, and hour which are signed up.
As of now i have a query that relates these results and gives me a line detailing the worker/time information for the slots that are signed up for.What I'm TRYING to do is to create a query that gives me BLANK worker info when there is no one signed up for a particular hour.Currently my Schedule table has the following:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
16 | 5 | 15
What I'm looking to do is have this table matched up with another table (or query) that provides every combination of day/hour. When an day/hour combination is skipped, the query will be able to "fill in the blank" with a row. Like this:
WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
| | 14
16 | 5 | 15
Queries :: When One Sub Query Has No Records Entire Main Query Is Blank
Oct 1, 2014I have a query with three sub queries, all returning a number from different tables. But when any one of the sub queries returns a blank, the entire main query is blank.

Queries :: Query Error When Data Changes In Crosstab Source Query
Aug 12, 2014I have a database which among other things records how jobs are received i.e.: Telephone, Email, Mail, Facsimile or Web.For each client I want to identify the percentages of each method of receipt against the total of jobs received and during different time periods.I have created a make table query for all jobs received between variable dates for a client entry of the name of the client and the start and finish dates are required to run the query.
I have a crosstab query set up to count each method of receipt and a final query to work out the percentages using the total from the crosstab query fields divided by the total of all methods.I have a macro set up to replace the table with new data when I want the stats for a different client between new dates, therefore the different methods of receipt may vary for the less active clients i.e.: they may only have telephone and email .
My problem is if I choose a client where we have not received a job by a particular method (say web or facsimile), the last query working out the percentages has fixed names to cover each method but naturally produces an error when it cannot find a corresponding method of receipt. I have experimented with NZ() without success.My question is can I either have preset standard names of the column field in a crosstab query? Alternatively in the query calculating the percentages, can I include code to ignore a non-existent field in the crosstab query.
Query Is Too Complex... On Report, But Query Runs Fine
Oct 18, 2005Hi...
I have a query that when I run it normally (just click on it) then it runs fine. (It is a union query, getting it's data from 8 other queries (who has their dependancies)
But when I want to run a report from it, Access gives me an error saying "query is too complex".
I am flattered, but I would prefer access to work than say I write stuff that is too complex for it. :cool:
Any ideas?
I am confused by the fact that it runs when I double click the query, but the report bugs it out.
