Mar 20, 2006I have a problem with an SQL query that is used to create a report, the query itself works fine, however I need to get it to do something extra. Basically we have a column that contains 1-3 letters. The letters are A, B and C. The query searches the database and returns result depending on which of the letters we entered. We do this using the like statment -:
SELECT * FROM TableUser WHERE UserType LIKE B
So the above SQL statement returns all entries with the letter B in the column UserType. Also we my need to search for AB, which returns all entries with AB and ABC. The problem is that we sometimes need to search for AC, which should return the values AC and ABC. The problem is that it only returns the values AC and not ABC. I know why it does this as it is searching for a string like 'AC', I am just not sure how to get round the problem. Is there a way of searching the string for the Value AC so that it returns the entries AC and ABC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers

Wildcard Searching / Partial String Matches
Apr 8, 2008Hi there,
I've successfully created, for the first time, a database with many attributes that is searchable by most of those attributes as well. I've finally gotten the swing of how tables, forms, queries, and macros link up and am understanding how MSA works.
I can't seem to find any information on here that tells me how to do wildcard searches. For my particular application, people enter items into the database in a nonstandard fashion, i.e. "oring," "o-ring," and "o ring." I need to enable the capability to search "ring" so my search functions are fully maximized.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Queries :: Searching For A Value Between Numbers
Nov 23, 2014In the Table I have in the trailer database has, among many, 2 fields called 'Maximum Length' and 'Minimum Length'. Say, the data in these fields could be 5 and 4 respectively. I would like to create a search box where I can type in any length such as 4.4 and the database would return the trailer that can fit this length. (Sot the searched value is between the Min. and Max. length) What would I need to type into the query box and the search form to type in the length?

View 1 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Searching Date Before And Using This In WHERE Condition
Sep 13, 2013I have a table that has 4 fields; id_vl, id_product, date_vl, vl.
Basically each product is valued either on a monthly, weekly or daily basis. I want to create a filter that is based on a text box that filters the dates from which one can look at the dates of valuation and the associated values.
The problem comes with the products valued on a weekly or monthly basis. For example, if I simply say [tblvl].[date_vl]>=Me.textbox, and me.textbox = 13/09/2013, yet the last value date for a weekly product was 09/09/2013, this record won't be included. Therefore I need to set the date of the previous record as the filter. This is my attempt but it doesnt work...
Code:
SELECT tblVL.Id_VL, tblVL.Id_Product, tblVL.Date_VL, tblVL.VL,
FROM tblVL
WHERE iif(tblvl.date_vl<>me.fees_start_date, [tblVL].Date_VL>=(SELECT
MAX(PrevDate.Date_VL)
FROM tblVL AS PrevDate WHERE PrevDate.Date_VL<[tblVL].[Date_VL] AND PrevDate.Id_Product=tblVL.Id_Product;),tblvl.date_vl>=Me.fees_start_date)

Queries :: Searching Between Dates From Form
Feb 4, 2015I have a query and need it to filter between to dates that are entered into a form.
The dates are long date fields (dd/dd/dd hh/mm/ss)
I've used the following search criteria
Between #" & [forms]![frmSearch]![txtTimefrom] & "# And #" & [forms]![frmSearch]![txtTimeTo] & "#
But clearly I am missing something because when I go and save the query it comes up with the following error "the expression you entered has an invalid date value".
Been trying loads of different expressions but nothing seem to work.
Queries :: Searching For A Value In A Column Row Using In Clause
Feb 25, 2015Is there anyway to search each row within one column for a value ? The "IN" clause appears not to work for multiple values in a row.
SELECT Table_Payee_List.CategoryIDs, Table_Payee_List.PayeeSelectBox INTO GOTIT
FROM Table_Payee_List
WHERE (((Table_Payee_List.CategoryIDs) In ("25")));
Data (two columns with 5 rows) are represented below:
Payee CategoryIDs
Column Column
John Doe 21, 27, 32, 34, 44 - Row 1
Jane Doe 20, 25, 28, 42, 44 - Row 3
Paul Doe 19, 25, 28, 42, 44 - Row 3
James Doe 56, 29, 31, 62, 54 - Row 4
Amy Doe 24, 25, 29, 42, 74 - Row 5
Queries :: Searching Multi Fields In Table
Jun 23, 2014i have a form with a control for "repair type" and a subform that has a query that searches a table holding vehicle repair records. on the form the user can enter up to 5 repair types, [repair1], [repair2], etc.. Then the control on the form holds each type of repair to search by. Since the user could use one or all five repair fields and put repair types likes brakes in field one on one record and field 5 on another record, how do i search to just pull out those records that have the specified search criteria?
If i put in [form]![control] in each of the 5 criteria in the query it comes back with no records, because it it looking for that type in every repair field rather than once between the five fields?
Queries :: Searching If A Date Is Booked Or Not In A Query
Dec 2, 2014I am currently working through my A2 (final year of high school in the UK) ICT coursework, in which I am building an Access database system for a small wedding car hire company.
My current problem is I would like to (not even sure if it's possible but I assume it is) have a form that searches a query for a date that the customer has entered.
If there is no date in the query that matches the one that the customer has entered, it means that their chosen date is available. If there is a match however it means that the date is unavailable.
I am using Microsoft Access 2010.
Queries :: Create A Query With Parameter - Searching For A Specific Month
Nov 22, 2014I am trying to create a query with a parameter on it, but on a date box, but only searching for a specific month, without regards to the year. So what I want is for me to run the query, a pop up box asks "which month?", I then put in Jan for example, and the results will show all records with the month Jan regardless of the day or year.
Is this possible? If so - whats the code I would use?
Queries :: Pull Text From String?
Apr 2, 2015I have a text field in a Table and on a Query called "Notes" In that field that has data like below:
[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning
[03/27/2015:BD] Project prioritized
[03/14/15:BR] Entered to system
Im trying to find a way to pull just the most recent line of text, in this case
[04/02/2015:BD] Project is to be assessed by Solutions Planning
into the field next to "Notes" or wherever - an empty field in the query. I searched around, found some stuff and I was thinking of having the code look at the first "[" and count the length to the next "[" and pull out whats in between. Looks like the bracket causes issues in the module.

Queries :: How To Reference Current Row In SQL String
Jul 6, 2013How to reference current row in SQL string? I have a qst while using RowSource. I have 3 tables:
[1] CITY
col: _value _name
[2] STREET
col: _city _value _name
[3] ADDRESS
cal: city street
The problem ocurred when i designed ADDRESS table:
The RowSource of [city] is "SELECT _name, _value FROM CITY".
And I set the binding-column as 2, so that _name can be displayed and the real value is _value(integer).
But here comes the trouble: how can i set the RowSource of [street]?
The _value of STREET table depends on _city, and _city is _value in CITY table.
E.g. _name of STREET is "Wall Street" when (_city,_value) = (1,1),
But "Lincoln Avenue" when (_city,_value) = (2,1)
I want to use "SELECT _name, _value FROM STREET WHERE _city=CurrentRow.city" as RowSource, but what can replace the "CurrentRow"?
Queries :: OR Using Part Of String From Parameter Box
Aug 1, 2014I have a criteria in a parameter query that asks the user to enter a Subsystem number (such as 4596-666-001).
The source data for my database has Systems (e.g, 4596-666) and each system has several Subsystems associated with it (e.g, 4596-666-001, 4596-666-002, etc). The System and Subsystem numbers are stored in the same column of the source data spreadsheet, and hence the same field in my database.
The source data is structured in such a way that Systems and Subsystems have different information. I would like to set up a query that shows the System information as well as the Subsystem information.
For example, if the user enters 4596-666-001 into the parameter dialog box the query returns all the information for 4596-666-001 and 4596-666 (but NOT any other Subsystem).
As a work around I have set up an OR situation where the user first enters the Subsystem number and then another parameter query dialog opens and they enter the System number. This works but is not as nice as simply entering the Subsystem number and having all information returned.
Is there a way to set up my query so the when 4596-666-001 is entered an OR is generated using the first 8 characters of the Subsystem number?

Queries :: Replace 2 Characters In String With 0s
Dec 8, 2014I'm familiar with writing a replace query to replace characters or strings but what I'm trying to do this time is a bit unique to me. I have a string of numbers that will either be 8 or 9 digits in length. The first 1 or 2 digits will be the State code (1-50 hence the discrepancy in number of total digits), then a 2 digit agency code, then the last 5 digits are a producer code. What I need to do is change the 2 digits for the agency part both to 0. So basically characters 6 and 7 if you're counting from the right. To me it feels like I'm trying to do it backwards so I'm having a hard time writing it.
View 12 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Hexadecimal String To Binary
Sep 24, 2013I have a text column with hexadecimal strings like "4E1B0A65FE3299FE", ie. of length 16.I'm doing an ALTER COLUMN query to convert the column to varbinary, but Access is doing conversion by ASCII, which results in a varbinary field of size 32, I think this is because the text column is in Unicode.
SQL Server has something called "styles" which are used with CONVERT.where you can choose to convert by two characters at a time 2:1..How do I do the same in an Access query? CONVERT/CAST are no supported.

Is this possible with SQL?
