Item: Access app front end for an SQL database (production tracking/job logging utility)
Problem: The app has a main search page that allows job entries to be located and opened by varies criteria (job#, job name, etc). I can currently run multiple searches on different criteria successfully but if I open a job window(which has been returned as result of my search) and then close that job window to do a new search my search function will no longer return any results(other then “Calculating….”) unless I close out the access app and reload.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that can point me in the right direction to hunt down my bug.
I'm trying to do a string compare between two variables. One string variable is part of an array (which I'm looping through), the other is passed to the function as an argument.the function should return the position of a field in the OrderBy string of a subform.Here's the VBA :
Code:
Private Function SortPosition(strOrderBy As String, strField As String) As StringDim arrSortedFields() As String Dim i As Long If Len(strOrderBy) > 0 And InStr(strOrderBy, strField) > 0 Then arrSortedFields = Split(strOrderBy, ",")
[code]....
The weird thing is, the line in blue returns True when, by watching the variables, it appears that it should not, and returns False when it appears that it should?
I would have thought the expression "[RandomField]" Like "[RandomField]*" should return True?And similarly the expression "[SomeFieldName]" Like "[ADifferentField]*" should return False?Have been using 'Like' for donkey's years and never seen it throw results like this before?
(P.S. The reason I need to use 'Like' rather than a straight = is to account for the possibility that a field may be sorted descending, and therefore to nullify the DESC keyword which may follow any given field...)
I have a switchboard which runs a google style search query to find people based on their first name, surname, date of birth or NI number on clicking the search button. It uses the following criteria in the query Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![Firstname] & "*" for each of the above fields.
This works perfectly until someone inputs a record that doesn't have anything in one of the fields. ie, full name and DoB, but no NI number. When a record is entered in this way, the table stores the record but the search query cannot find it.
Multi search wont return results: Obviously I have my table and search form. But have hit a problem that is probably simple to overcome, but for the life of me I cant see it.
The small peice of code I have used = forms]![searchF]![name1] I have also tried Like"*" & forms]![searchF]![name1] & "*" still not working. The qurey accompanying form (searchF) works to displaying searchF form unpopulated which I believe is correct. I should at this stage be able to fill out the one table heading (name1) where the query should return a result in the (searchf) form but it does not return.
The tables, forms and quries, have all been saved and closed and re opened many times
The form (searchF) propeties have been checked and double checked. I have even built a test table but the same things happen as my main table.
I have built a custom search form in a MS Access 2010 database so that users can find specific records to edit. After entering the search criteria and hitting a Search button, another form opens up that shows the search results. This second form includes a command button for generating a report of the search results.
Right now, the custom search form and the search results form are both working properly, but the search results report is showing every record in the database instead of just the search results. This is true whether I access the report via the command button in the form or the navigation pane. I'm not sure if I need to correct my VBA code or the report's properties.
I have a query with two table's in them. One is filled, the other is still empty. Both table's are related to each other with the field "document number".
This was working fine in access 2000, now in 2003 it returns zero results. I am starting to think it is because one table is empty it returns nothing. How can i adapt the query criteria or something else that it shows the results from table one, while table two can still be empty. One table holds the documents and all information about it, the other holds the information wich document is referenced on wich document. Now since i can have documens which don't reference to a document, i still want those in the list.
I have a table listing a number of cell phone products and their carrier along with their status' in the production process. I want the query to return the most recent status for each product for each carrier. However, out of the 20+ products that I'd like the most recent status for for each carrier, it's only returning about 12 products of the most recent status for one carrier.
Any help would be much appreciated! Leave a message if you need more clarification.
I'm having an issue with a query I created. When run the query requests an Artist Name. I enter this and it returns one result. However in actual table ther are two results for that artist. The only difference is that for the record that doesnt appear the field labelled "Gallery" has a zero value.
I have checked the table and the gallery field is not set to a required field so I dont understand why it wont show it as a result of the query.
running access 2000. I have a query that I selected to return the Top 1 record sorted descending on the date so it would pick the most recent entry. I did it by selecting Top 5 from the drop down box in query design mode and then changed the 5 to a 1 using SQL View from qry design.
SELECT TOP 1 Class.CourseID, User.UserName, Class.TrainerID, Class.ClassLocationID, Class.ElapsedTime, Class.ClassDate, Class.Comments FROM [User] INNER JOIN Class ON User.UserID = Class.UserID ORDER BY Class.ClassDate DESC;
It still gives me as many records as are entered on the system. How can I get JUST the most recent record entry?
I have built a Project/Resource database for our department, and I am having an issue with 3 computers in the group. First, all of our computers are setup the same (as far as I can tell), however, there are 3 users that have the same issue...when selecting an item from a dropdown, it should populate the dropdown below it with a new list, based on the first dropdown. It is only on certain forms, and only happens on these three computers. If the users log into any other computers, it works fine. I know it's not alot to go on, but does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm at a complete loss!
When I run this query, it shows that 41 records are going to be appended. I click on yes, but when I go into the table to view the appended records they do not show.
Code: Public Sub test() Dim frm As Form Set frm = Forms!StationLevelSummary
[code]...
At the bottom im printing the content of the controls which are on my form. These should return 1 number, but for some reason it does not. Ive used this code many times but I cant figure out why nothing is being returned.
I have a db with 2 tables, one containing basic info FirstName, Surname, YearGroup, and another table with other data. I imported a list of names into the first table, firstname and surname only were imported, other field was left empty, other table was also left empty. I made a simple select query to pull all records from both tables and i get no results at all. None of the imported names show on the query results. what I am missing?
I have the following two querydefs. Here is the SQL; qry1 SELECT [dtFind], tblData.dtReading, tblData.dblValue FROM tblData WHERE DateDiff("n",[dtReading],[dtFind]) Between 1 And CInt([intMins]);
qry2 SELECT [dtFind], tblData.dtReading, tblData.dblValue FROM tblData WHERE dtReading Between DateAdd("n",-1*[intMins],[dtFind]) And DateAdd("n",-1,[dtFind]);
[dtFind] and [intMins] are parameters.
I use the querydefs is VBA code as such Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rstDataSQL as DAO.Recordset Dim qdfData As DAO.QueryDef Dim strQdef As String
Set db = CurrentDb() strQdef = "qry1" ‘or qry2 Set qdfData = db.QueryDefs(strQdef)
‘Set values of parameters qdfData![dtFind] = dtDate qdfData![intMins] = intMins
Set rstDataSQL = qdfData.OpenRecordset
qry2 executes significantly faster than qry1, but I am having issues getting the correct results.
If I set [dtFind] = 12/28/2005 10:47:00 AM, both queries work fine. The last returned record has a value for dtReading of 12/28/2005 10:46:00 AM.
However, if I set [dtFind] = 12/28/2005 10:48:00 AM, only qry1 returns the right records. qry2 will not return the record with dtReading = 12/28/2005 10:47:00 AM, but qry1 will. :mad:
I changed the Between statement to “Between DateAdd("n",-1*[intMins],[dtFind]) And DateAdd("n", 0 ,[dtFind])” to see what happens. As I expected, records where dtReading = 12/28/2005 10:47:00 AM and 12/28/2005 10:48:00 AM are returned.
The data should be in increments of 1 minute, although there are periods where data is missing. None of the dates have values like 12/28/2005 10:47:01 AM, i.e. seconds value is always 0.
I’ve tried adding “PARAMETERS [dtFind] DateTime, [intMins] Short;”, and also using CDate(DateAdd()) without any luck.
Whether I am using the queries using VBA/DAO or user input to set the parameter values, the results are the same.
SELECT CPL_CLIENTS.CODE, CPL_CLIENTS.FULLNAME FROM CPL_CLIENTS WHERE (((CPL_CLIENTS.FULLNAME) Like "*" & Forms!frmSafeKeep_AddClient_SearchDesig!txtSearchT ext & "*"));
As the control source of a listbox, so that the user can enter something in "txtSearchText", and the listbox will be narrowed to only those those clients that have a matching part of their name.
The problem is that the user enters, for example, "duncan", and the list returns nothing, when in actual fact there are 5 matching records. If the user enters "Duncan" (note the capital letter), they get all 5 records as they should.
If memory serves, access should only be case sensitive if you tell it to be - and this is working fine on other forms.
The only difference between them is the data source. Other forms are getting data from linked tables in the backend. This form is getting it from a linked Oracle table.
I have a query which pulls up results based on the value of a text box. All works well except one field has a DOB (date) and if I search say for " /1976" I get no results, however search /76 and all the people with that year of birth show then show up. The date is stored in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
I'm using the like [forms]![clients]![searchfield] in the criteria of the query to bring up results.
I have two tables Contacts & Allowance. There is a relationship defined between the two based on Contact ID (primary field/contacts - foreign key/allowance). The Contacts table has Firstname + Surname. I have produced a query based on certain fields in both tables however the result is totally pulling incorrect info.
IIF function not returning the false value. I have the following results based on the query shown below.
SELECT Trade.Ref_No, Trade.CERS_Price, Market.[USD/EUR_Rate], IIf("CERS_Price_currency = US Dollar.USD",[Trade].[CERS_Price]*[Market].[USD/EUR_Rate] , 0) AS [Price In Euro], Market.[USD/CHF_Rate], Trade.CERS_Price_Currency FROM Status INNER JOIN (Market INNER JOIN Trade ON Market.MarketDate = Trade.Trade_Date) ON Status.StatusID = Trade.StatusID;
Price In Euro USD/CHF_Rate CERS_Price_Currency CERS_Price 35 7 US Dollar. USD 5 91 7 Euro. EUR 13 1,715.00 7 Brazil Reais. BRL 245 759.00 33 Indian Rupees. INR 23.00
As you can see returns all calculations whether is USD or not. Can you help please? Ultimately I want to do this for all other currencies by nesting the IIF function.
I'm working on a select query that I have created through the visual query design window in Access 2003, I have multiple criteria but the query is not filtering the results properly.
I'm selecting only records :
where the DeliveryCountry field is within the EU - works where the ProductID does not contain Repair, Upgrade or Rpr - doesn't work where the Demo/Sale ID is 2 - works
I've viewed the code in SQL view but I still can't locate the problem, though I suspect it lies in the treatment of ANDs and ORs.
The SQL is pasted below (I have reformatted with indentations so I hope it is easier to read).
One thing to note: the reason the countries list is split in two is because Access did this automatically when I had one long list. Is there a maximum length for WHERE clauses?
FROM Products RIGHT JOIN (([Demo/Sale] RIGHT JOIN Orders ON [Demo/Sale].[Demo/SaleID] = Orders.[Demo/SaleID]) LEFT JOIN [Order Details] ON Orders.OrderID = [Order Details].OrderID) ON Products.ProductID = [Order Details].ProductID

What is the best approach to returning calculated results in a query. I have been using nested IIf statements that include DateAdd but I think that I am at a point where there must be a better way.
I want my query to calculate a date based on: 1) A Type field from my table 2) A calculated date based on other query fields.
My query has the following fields: [Type] [Action 1] [Projected Action 1] [Projected Action 1 Revised] [Action 2]
I want to create a calculated field for [Projected Action 2] that says:
If [Type] is "A" then if [Action 2] Is NotNull, Null if [Action 1] is NotNull, [Action 1] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1 Revised] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1 Revised] + 10 workdays if [Projected Action 1] is NotNull, [Projected Action 1] + 10 workdays
[Code] ....
I would like to keep using nested IIf but I keep running into problems and I thought that there is probably a better way.
I am building a prototype database and currently has two records in it (I know for certain they are not duplicates). Attached is the relationship and below is the query. The query keeps returning the correct results but twice. (Duplicate results.)
SELECT DISTINCT WeekdayName([Weekdaynumber],False,1) AS Weekday, [Master Data].Date, [Master Data].Machine, [Master Data].Shift, [Master Data Query].[Master Data_Product Code], [Master Data Query].[Cases/Pallet], [Master Data].[Expected Pallets to Produce], [Master Data].[Actual Pallets Produced], [Master Data].[Damage (Units)],
I have just added a function to a database to strip out any commas or quotation marks from a passed string.
However, it is returning a black string even though when I step through the function it creates the out string correctly and the variable "OutString" is populated when the Exit Function command is executed.
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click() Dim rs As Object If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
I have an unbound combo box that I set up in a form using the combo box wizard in Access 2010. I selected the option that says, "Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box." The problem is that the combo box will not always display the correct record. It seems to only display the first record of a group of similarly named records in a table.
Example:
Code: Last Name First Name SSN Smith Alex 123-45-6789 Smith Jane 234-56-7891 Smith Mary 345-67-8910
If I select Smith Jane, the record for Smith Alex will display. I know that this has something to do with the bound column property, but I am unsure what to do to fix the issue.
What I have tried: I tried setting the primary key as the first field, but then I could only search by the primary key, which is unrealistic for this database. Users will be searching based on last name. How do I make the combo box select whichever record I select from the drop down list?
I have a search form that uses a query to show results of a search, but everytime I press search everything comes up even though I have entered search parameters, even though my search requeries every time and the search used to work before I added new records today. Also when I press the query alone on the navigation pane it asks me for the parameters and then it actually works but it won't when I use my form.
