Hello,
I am trying to familiarise myself with MS Access and have the following problem:
Lets say I have a Table A with two columns as follows:
Name Total
Tom 1000
Mary 200
Brigid 150
Niamh 75
My question is how can I - using SQL only - select the nth, ie 3rd or 4th row?
I have spent some time on this and it irks me becasue it is probably very simple.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.
Best Regards,
Tony
I have a small database with 4 tables that I am using for the current problem. The tables are call, parents, mailman, orders. Call and parents are related by the call ID (a primary key in the Call table.). Mailman and orders are related by a Unique Id (a primary key in the mailman table.).
Forms involved are frmmain and frmsub.
Frmmain contains the call table information in the main form and parents information in the subform.
When a user enters a call with call ID and enters the operator name and parents information in the sub form, When a user clicks the OK button on the main form, necessary changes should take place if they enter the case type in the sub form part of parent information as ‘missing information’ or ‘missing link’ then the parent information with fields first name, lastname, case type, operator information should be inserted into mailman table in appropriate fields.
Simultaneously a record should be inserted into orders( after the record is first inserted into mailman, since both tables are linked with unique id) with the following information. Orderid being autonumber. Uniqueid from the mailman table. Orderdate system date. Ordertype should be “Mailman”
I have a basic database design, well I think so anyway. It only has two tables:
1. tblClientInfo 2. tblNotes
Basically each client has multiple notes/comments that can be linked to its record, hence the tblNotes table. The two tables have a one-to-many relationship, being that each customer can have many notes.
I then have two forms:
1. Claims Loss Form 2. tblNotes_DatasheetSub1
So I can enter multiple notes for each customer. The problem I am having is with the report output. It wants to print every note (record) that is linked to the customer. I just need it to print the most recent note for each customer (It would save a lot of wasted paper).
Example of a print out of what it is doing:
John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 1 (Most Recent Note) John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 2 (Previous Note) John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 3 (and so on...)
It is printing duplicates of the same customer by adding the additional notes for that same customer on a new line.
How can I tell it to only print the customer one time in the report, and most importantly, to only use the most recent note that is linked to the customer?
I tried using DMax("NoteDate","tblNotes"), but this only returns one customer with one note. I need it to do that for each and all customers.
I have successfully ran a subquery (two queries with one linked to another) by following detailed instructions from this page I found: [URL] .... It works, but the problem is it only shows the latest date for each note, not the actual contents of the note. I feel so close with this option, but so far at the same time.
The TOP n records per group looks promising that I found here: [URL] ...., but I honestly don't know how to implement it correctly in my SQL. I am very much still learning Access and apparently have stumbled into something that is much more complicated than I had originally imagined. I just assumed I could filter the duplicates out, or tell access to print the last or most recent note record for each customer.
I have two tables. The first one contains customer information. Primary key is custno. The second one contains customer logins, primary key is also custno.
What I want to do is to view customer information that does not have customer logins.
When a Review has a Status = 'Not Accepted' then there should be one or more records in [Results] that indicate what the result of the review was.
I want to structure a query to perform a data integrity check to select any Review ID that satisfies the following criteria: - The Review Status = 'Not Accepted' - There are zero records in [Results] for that ReviewID
I can't figure out how to do it.
Here is an example of the tables where all record are OK...
I have a table which contains a nine digit number. How do I write a query to limit the restults to just the first two digits of that nine digit number?
Query SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $] FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve1 AS v WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
I have varcurve1 varcurve2 varcurve3.... I want to provide a mean (interface?) for user to choose varcurve1 varcurve2 varcurve3 to run above query.
for eample if user choose varcurve1 the query will run
SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $] FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve1 AS v WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
if user choose varcurve2 the query will run
SELECT s.contracttypename, sum(s.sumrtr*v.pct) AS [predicted $] FROM sumrtr AS s, varcurve2 AS v WHERE s.mdiff=v.monthodr and s.contracttypename=v.contracttypename GROUP BY s.contracttypename;
Hi in the attached database there is a form called "with table select".
I want to be able to select any one of the three tables i have in the top combo box. When this is done the bottom 2 combo boxes will display the relevant data if needed (look at the other form "myform" to see the fields that are requseted).
Hey All!! This is what I wanna get done. I have a big table I am querying into and extracting data and populating it into the new tables that I have constructed.
For eg: SELECT dbo_analyst.anls_id, [fst_name] & [lst_name] AS Analyst FROM dbo_analyst;
This query selects the name and the ID of the Analyst out of the big table. I want to store these values in the Analyst table that I have made. Do i need to combine an Insert or an update query with the select query to simultaneously put the values in the Analyst table. Please help me on how to go about with this.
I'm trying to use code to relink the the table but that is not the only table that is linked in the DB. The other linked tables are in other databases so I want to select specific tables to relink as the others may not need it. I alway will want to select the path.
here is an example of the code I'm using I got it from one of the other users here.
Hello! I am building a report that tracks excessive call-in's for my hospital's employees. Data is entered into a form which then is stored in the table (duh!) "Call-In's." I have a query that lists all those who have more than 5 call-in's.
Here is the problem: In order to get the sum of callin's per person, I did a totals field in my original query and counted on Name. But now I needed to know the sum of each person's, and so I had to do a cross-tab query that included the name, department, the count (from the first query) and then I summed on the count field. What a mess, right? Also, I added a field for If >5, Yes, No.
I based my Excessive call-in's report on the final (above) query. Like this:
Call In's table Name, Department, Date of Call in, Call in type
Call-in's query Name, Department, Date of Call in, Call in type, Count of Name
Call-in's crosstab Rows: Name (GROUP BY), Department (GROUP BY) Columns: Count (SUM) and total of Count (SUM)
Excessive Call-In's query Name, Total of count, iif >5, Yes, No
There are already 54 records in the table, one of which has excessive call in's (more than 5).
Is there a way to run a report that not only lists the person's name and number of call in's but also the date of each one and the call in type? Both of these are fields in the call-in's table.
When I try to combine my Call-In's query with my Excessive Call In's query I get the matrix. Example: I get the same record for however many callin's they have. Thank for your help. I'm so sorry this is complicated. I've got to be doing something wrong, or at least inefficiently. Does any of this make sense? Thanks again.
I have a databse which uses a query and a form to filter records from 1 table into a report. It works well, however the way in which it works currently means i would need around 15 forms as there are (going to be) around 15 tables.
What I would like to do is add a combo box at the very top of the form to select the source table for the other combo boxes on the form (hope this makes sense!!).
This link is a test version of the database (Access 2000):
I am trying to run a sql statement in vba in which it selects all the records in a table related to a order Id number. I then want it loop through all the records and check for a check box which is selected. if its selected then "A" variable becomes "1" and i will then run a if statement saying if variable is 1 then run this code else run code b.
The problem I am having is that if there are 4 records the code checks through all of the 4 records and keeps changing the variable so
record 1 variable is 0 record 2 var is 0 " " " 1 " " " is 0
so although the records for a given order number does have a checked box the code wont recognise that.
What I can do or what code I can add my minds gone all blank on this.
I had 3 drop down filters that worked when the word being filtered was written in the table. I have since then linked them to new tables to be more database-y. The problem I have found (a couple weeks later too) is that my drop downs broke.
It makes sense why, they are now 1,2,3,4 instead of words but how do I make this work now that it isn't in the current table?
Code: Private Sub cboMDS_AfterUpdate() Dim myPlane As String If Me.cboMDS = 0 Then myPlane = "Select * from Baseline"
I am trying to use one form to manage multiple unrelated tables that share the same field names (i.e. SKU, Name, Description) . My goal is to utilize a combobox or listbox to choose which table the data is sent to.
I am trying to write a query that will select distinct values from three columns. The table name is Hoods. The columns are C1, C2, and C3. All three columns contain colors and can have the same values, but I only need to have a particular color selected once. For instance, all three columns contain "Black", but "Black" should only be listed once. The result of the query will be used in a drop down list.
The following works for one column:
SELECT DISTINCT [Hoods].[C1] FROM Hoods WHERE C1<>"";
I have a UNION of two SELECT queries. It works very well but I need the end-user to be able to modify the data so I am using INSERT INTO tablename. This will work for one query at a time but if I try to use the UNION it reports “Syntax error in FROM clause”. Can you use UNION in this case or can anyone see my error?
The full statement is rather complex, I have added a few spaces and linebreaks to make it readable as follows:
INSERT INTO TableCompleteForMailing
SELECT [Address List].[FamilySurname] AS Surname,
[Address List].[DEARFirstnames] AS FirstName,
[Address List].[Mailing] AS Mailing,
[Address List].[Christmas Mailing] AS OtherMailing, [Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Address List]
UNION
SELECT [Names].[LastName] AS Surname,
[Names].[FirstName] AS FirstName,
[Names].[MailingList] AS Mailing,
[Names].[Selected] AS OtherMailing,
[Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Names],[Address List]
WHERE [Names].[AddressListID]=[Address List].[AddressListID]
Need some help trying to filter out some data so it can be deleted from the main table so updated data can be pasted into it that table.
Table name is "dbo_VG_PropertyValues"
AppID - Number DNIS - Text (This is the column i need filtered) PropertyName - Text ProperetyValue - Text
I had a query where i would just type in the 3-4 DNIS numbers that i needed to search for by using "11111" or "22222" or... etc... in the simple query view under criteria..
I'm now getting lists of 50 + numbers i need to do searches for, delete and replace with updated data. I can't run a string of "or" statements on 50+ numbers, it won't allow it. I created a table called 'DNISList" with the 50+ numbers i need to search for out of the "dbo_VG_PropertyValues" table. In the simple query view i linked on the DNIS number from both tables and set the join property to show all the records that matched. Hey it looks good, so far, i got the results i wanted but can't delete anything.
Is there anyway in the criteria field under the column DNIS from "dbo_VG_PropertyValues" where i can so a search on that table without linking the tables? I hope I'm making sense. You know something like:
I have a master table located on the backend of the server with about 3 fields:
Software Version Description
I have 4 databases, one for each software on the front end accessing this master table.
So far I have in the master table a dropdown to select 1 of the 4 software's, the version number and a brief description.
One the front end I have a button that when pressed will bring up the report based on the master table.
Can I have the report just select the software that it refers to. For instance if the datebase is Sony when I click on the report it only grabs the records with Sony on it. For my next database when I open up Sharp's database it only makes a report for the Sharp records.
How would I do this? Is this something I have to code or something I can do in criteria or do I create a query?
I have coded a select statement that uses multiple tables for information used to populate a report. It returns the correct information, sort of, but it doesn't recognize the already existing table relationships so I get dupicate records. Is there a way to run the code so that it recognizes the table relationships?
Form - record source - select a table that when the user enter a value in the field of the form it gets place into the designated table (select a table). my problem is that I have two fields in the form, one field from the data entry is suppose to go to the train table,and another field the data entry is suppose to go to the station table. if I have the form's record source have a designated table for the data entry.It doesn't have two tables for the data entry.
