I am creating a query with criteria for a dates column. The column cotaining dates in my Table has many empty fields. I want to limit the criteria for my dates to >#1/1/2004#, but I don't want Access to exclude all the empty fields because I want all the data displayed for the purposes of my report.
What do I do? I'm not terribly familiar with Access, so please explain as completely as possible. Thanks in advance!
I've got an invoices table in my database, and I've got a payment approved checkbox that is false by default and a decision date field.
I want to find all outstanding invoices, and thought the best way to do this would be to check if the decision date is null, but that doesn't work.
How do I check for a blank field?
Hi...I have the following requirement:
I have a table called "tblselectrso" with the following fields:
stockno rso1 rso2 rso3 rso4 rso5
s1 1 3
s2 2 4 5
stockno is a text field and rso1 through rso5 is a Number field.
Given the value of "stockno" I want to run a query to list all the other fields (rso1 through rso5) that are NON-EMPTY.
Is this possible at all? Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Query not responding: empty fields?
I have a table with a field 'Fax number', type: text (since occasionally we write a comment in there, like 'prohibited').
Some records have fax numbers, others are empty.
I want to find all records which do have a fax number. So I wrote into the Query: "is not null", expecting to get only the records which have a fax number or some text in them.
In fact, all records came up in the query, empty as well as non-empty fax fields.
I was wondering if the 'empty field' had a blank space in them, but could not find any. Tried backspace key, but there was nothing to backspace on.
I used the find-replace utility and searched for single space in Whole Field. It picked out quite a few records, but not all - so something invisible seems to be there.
However, when I opened the 'replace' window of find/replace, and had the replace window empty, then clicked 'replace', the msg came 'Access cannot find the specified text'.
What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to get the query to work?
Thanks,
Adrian
Is it possible to select 1 MAX date from multiple date fields for a record?
For example, on an employee record there are 10 date fields, each for a performance review date. Some employees may have date fields 1-3 with values, some with just 1, others 1-5, etc.....depending on how many performance reviews they've had.
Is there a way to pull the MAX review date for an employee, knowing that the MAX date could reside in Field 1 for a certain employee, and could be from Field 7 for another?
I appreciate the help guys!
I have a simple table in Access 2003:
Case# (numeric)
CaseOpen (Date)
CaseClose (Date)
Item# (numeric)
ItemOpen (Date)
ItemClose (Date)
Some of the date fields may be null; If null then that date may NOT be selected
I am trying to write a query that returns:
Case#
Item#
Only the most recent date in any of the four date fields
The heading that matches the selected date field
ie:
Case# = 251
Item# = 4756
Most Recent Date = 7/8/2005
Matching Heading = "ItemOpen"
I have been searching and reading for two days-
Help, please?
TIA
I have a multi slect list box (simple) and I need to find and select an item using vba - e.g., the bound column is the ID field and I need to select a specific ID (which will be different each time) as opposed to selecting the 100th record for example. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.
Within Excel, the following code works:
Find empty cell:
Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Add term 'Summary' to cell:
Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"
I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.
I've tried the following WHERE clause to return records where the 'costper' field is empty and neither return any results.
WHERE NZ([Transactions].[CostPer])=0
WHERE [Transactions].[CostPer]=0
WHERE IsNull([Transactions].[CostPer])
I'm trying to query to find the latest date of a file that has multiple dates. I need the criteria to be the last date, and not just display the last date so I can find the transaction. I thought Dmax may work, but I don't know what my criteria would be. I put an example below. I'm looking for the last date, which would be 5/5/2014. I can't put in the date as the criteria since I am using this for a large amount of files, and the dates differ.
File #
setupdate
transaction
100001
1/1/2014
1
100001
3/5/2014
2
100001
5/5/2014

I'm having a very strange problem with access. In vba I have an sql statement "select StudentID, CourseID from tblAttendance where AttendanceDate = #Whatever Date#".
Now this works for all dates (as far as I can see) before 01/07/2013 but after that it just doesn't find any records. I have manually added dates and checked and it didn't work.
How this could be possible? The date field is not in any relationship and it is Date/Time format. I don't even know how to go about troubleshooting this as it makes no sense to me.
It thinks these records have a date below 1/7/2013 and it can find dates after 1/12/2013.
I've made a form with list boxes on, the user's selections from which are taken as parameters for a query, created by VBA code.
I want to add a final list box to the form from which the user can select which of the available fields they want to see in the query output (i.e. has the same effect as checking/unchecking the "Show" checkbox for each field on the standard query design grid).
I have written the following code to try and do this, but it isn't working. I'm very new to VBA and wonder if anyone can help me out by showing me what's wrong?
'Build Field List
If Me!lstFieldList.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then
For Each varItem In Me!lstFieldList.ItemsSelected
strFieldList = strFieldList & "[" & Me!lstFieldList.ItemData(varItem) & "], "
Next varItem
strFieldList = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 2)
Else
strFieldList = "'*'"
End If
'Create Query String
strSQL = "SELECT Centres." & strFieldList & " " & FROM Centres " & _
"Where " & strCriteria & _
" And " & strCriteriaCtr & strSortOrder & ";"
Running the above gives an error, and the section under "'Create Query String" is highlighted in debug mode so I guess the error must lie there? Either that, or the earlier part where strFieldList is being create is generating something which strSQL cannot interpret.
Many thanks in advance if you can help me.

I am working on MS Access program where i import data from Excel and i would like to generate a report in MS Access where the fields are empty. Like the MS Access generate a table of errors when we import data and shows information like field name and row number along with Type Conversion label. Can i generate similar table from an MS Access table where fields are null.

Is there a way to select a query field based on conditions? There is a table at work that I need to use for my reporting in which the field names are the months of the year. Since my report is monthly for that specific month only, I have to change my field in the query every single month. I would like to be able to put in some type of code that will automatically select the proper month field.
Is this possible?
Thanks! :)
Hi, I need help in creating a parameterized query.
I need to show only certain fields depending on the value of the parameters.
For example, I have a table with fields: ID, Name, Phone Number, Address, DOB.
The parameter can only be value of A, B or C.
If the user input A as the parameter in the query, only field ID, and Name will be shown
If the user input B as the parameter in the query, field ID, Name and Phone Number will be shown.
etc.
Is there any way to do this, rather than to separate the query into 3 queries for each of the parameters? Thank you.
I have written code to write a query with parameters set from selections made in a multiselect list box on a form.
I now want to add a check box for possible fields to include in the query and put these on the bottom of my form to allow users to select which fields they want to be displayed in the query result.
Can anyone advise how I can do this?
Many thanks,
Gary
I wish to add a static field to a select query i.e a field that does not exist within a table.
Does anyone know how I can do this?

Hi all,
Firstly, I'm an ex-fulltime access developer who has found himself doing access work again 6 years later; I can't actually believe how much I've forgotten :s
Anyway, I've done a search and havn't found anything that can help me so wondered if anyone could give some advice.
I have an access form with 3 combo boxes and a checkbox next to each of them. these are accessed using a query with 3 iif statements in it stating; (iif checkbox is null, "*", combo_box_value). the whole query looks like this
SELECT Customers.*
FROM Customers
WHERE (((Customers.Partner)=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check _partner Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!partner)) AND ((Customers.[Type Business])=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check_type Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!type)) AND ((Customers.[Year End Month])=IIf(Forms!frm_rpt_main!check_month Is Null,"*",Forms!frm_rpt_main!month)));
However, the query only seems to want to pull data from all 3 combo boxes
My issue is that if a checkbox is not ticked, I want the values to be ignored for all 3 combo's.
I've attached a copy of the mdb file as my description probably doesnt make any sense, the specific query is "qry_select_month_partner_type_wname_frm_rpt"
Thanking you all in advance for your help!

I have a table with about 3800 records and about 150 fields. It also has 4 tables with related data that each have only one field. I am going to create a query to base my from from. Should I just take the star * and get all the fields for each table or should i manually specify them. There are only about 5 fields out of the 150 that I dont need and I need to see the rest.

An assignment start date
An assignment end date

What I'm trying to do is to find the most recent payment date for each customer before 01/13/2006.
These are the results I'm looking for.
Customer 123456 should return the date 12/01/2005

I'm trying to create a report for how many "nasty grams" (rejection notices) my company has sent to people who keep sending in paper forms when they are supposed to file electronically.Every letter that goes out has information recorded based on whatever they sent to us - so the only remotely reliable way to count how many each person received is by the address on the envelope (people use different names, different business names, use different telephone numbers on the forms, etc).
I just built several queries that feed into a report that gets sent to my boss on a monthly basis to show the people who've sent in more than one paper form and have received our rejection notices more than once.I'm not the greatest at SQL, but I've been trying to find a way to use DISTINCT Addresses, leave all other fields the same (not DISTINCT), to:
1. Only return people who have received 2 or more letters
2. If at least one of the letters was sent more than 90 days ago
AND If at least one of the letters was within the last 90 days
-If at least one was within the last 90 days, only display the most recent send date of the letter (lots of people get back-to-back letters).
3. Display their names, addresses, telephone numbers, the date of the most recent letter sent, count of the total letters ever sent to that person. (the report will already do this, just need Max date)
My first query counts the number of times each address appears in the main table and simply only has [Address] and [CountofAddress]
My second query has the [Name], the [LetterDated] >=Now()-90, and the qryCountofAddress is linked to the main table by [Address], using [Countof Address] >=2...I have tried Selecting Unique Values in the Properties tab. Yes, I have tried INNER JOIN (but can't get the rest of my fields to display once I make addresses distinct).
Dear sir/madam
I have two tables linked together with one-one relationship with primary key.
The form has been created using a select query using these two tables. total fields at present is 253(table1=25 fields, Table2=228 fields Total = 253 fields)
Now my problem is I have to add 20 fields more to the above. so the total fields now is 273 fields but it is not accepting and giving the error as "Too many keys defined 3190".
how to solve these problem
Thanks in anticipation
