Is it possible to have a specific tab in a tab control selected automatically based on the value of a combo box? Not by what is selected, but by what is already stored in the field.
For example, if have a combo box with a value "shirts," the "shirt types" tab is automatically displayed in the tab control box.
Hi,
I am trying to write a query that looks at a set of parts that are assigned to the same "Asset" number, and takes the sum of all prices for that collection of parts.
I have the query set up to do this without any problem. Where I am stuck is that in the table containing the details of parts, there are three possible prices. What I need it to do is take price c if there is no value in prices b or a, price b if there is no price in price a (otherwise take price a).
I have tried this using the criteria ="price a" = 0 AND "price b" = 0 (for price c)
and ="price a" = 0 (for price b criteria). When I run the query I get a "Data type mismatch in query expression" error.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Ryan
Hello,
I have a dataset that consists of Stands within a forest inventory. There are two Fields: the first field is StandValue (dollars), the other field is the StandArea( hectares).
I want to select the highest valued stands BUT the sum of the individual areas found in "standArea" cant exceed 10,000 hectares. Can anyone help me figure out an SQL query for this, or any other suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hello,
I've looked through the thread and was unable to find exactly what I'm looking for ?
Basically I have a table with multiple fields & records and I would like to key on the ID field which has a slew of different ID's..... these ID's can be the same & show up on the table anywhere from 1 to 600 times.
What I'm trying to do is select each ID and pull only 10 records for each or if less than 10 pull in those as well.
So instead of pulling in the 600 records for that particular ID I only want to pull in 10 of those records, and for the ID that only has the 1 record pull in the info for that as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
I am trying to add various values based on Select Case to the value of field. The problem I face is that each time when I get different Case in select statement, the value of the field rather changing adds the value on top.
Code:
Private Sub ProductID_AfterUpdate()
Dim qflPrice As Variant
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlQry As String
Dim instID As Integer
[Code] .....
I am feeling really silly right now. This should be simple but .....
I have a problem i just simply can not get my head around. Hope some one can help.
There are two tables in this db.
There is a one to many relationship set up between them
I want a query that will show records in the parent table only when there are a specific number of related records in the child table.
Does anyone know if this can be done and if so how?
Hi all,
Very very new to Access, moved department a week ago and inherited a couple of databases that need tweaking. Although I'm learning I am stuck by something very simple and can't find it by searching this forum or Google :)
I have a query that originates from 2 tables, there is one custom record made from 2 of the fields -
Free Stock: [stk_stkqty]-[stk_allstk]
Now I want a record that shows -
Product where the free stock = backorder stock
so theroetically my guess as a beginner is -
SELECT * FROM [Product] WHERE [Free Stock] <> [Back Order]
But it fails miserably on syntax. Can someone point me in the right direction, and I apologise for my lack of understanding in advance.
Boofuls :)
Hi,
I would like to run a simple select query, where the CRITERIA is based on the user choice.
I have a form with a combo box, with a few choices, and a button that will trigger a macro with one query for now. I can store the choice in to a variable e.g. "town", using Microsoft VB code.
How can I transfer the variable to the CRITERIA field in the query, so whenever I chose a specific "town", my query will select the records for that specific town.
I want to use one query, and I don't want to have to "hard type the criteria in to the cells' query", but I would like to use a variable that can change and will be read it from the user choice through combo box.
If I am not clear enough, please let me know.
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm not even sure if this is possible to do (I havn't found anything on the Net yet), but I have a Form displaying Customer information, and the vending machines that customer has.
The main form (frmAccount) has 2 SubForms:
1) AddressSubForm (is a Datasheet), listing the many addresses the one account has.
2) VendingMachineSubForm (is a Continuous Form) and displays the machines related to the account.
What I want to do is select an address in the datasheet, and have the MachineSubForm populate with what machines are located at that address. Can this be done?
The Machines and Addresses link by AddressID. Both subforms are built on queries.
Thanks for any help/insight!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a select query that displays ALL [names] their [values] and the [date] when it was recorded.
Several [names] have multiple records and thus multiple [values]
I have a report based off this query. the report takes this data and graphs it.
The problem:as the database grows in records [names] the graph becomes crowded.
I would like to have a form for the user where they select from a dropdown list which record [names] they want to graph.
This will cause the query to only display records from the dropdown list.

Hi all,
I have a query which populates a form called EditPatientFrm, which asks the user to enter the patient UniqueID in order to pull up the record they want to edit from the TblPatient. However, I want the user to now be able to input just one of three criteria in order to pull up the record to be edited:
UniqueID
ChartNumber
PatientLastName and PatientFirstName (two fields)
since they may not have the UniqueID readily available to them.
Can anyone show me how to do this? I have tried to find answer to this one under queries and forms- no avail. Sure it's a simple thing...
thanks!

Good Afternoon Everybody,
Apologies for imposing on you all but I was wondering whether or not you could help me out??
Would you be so kind as to kind as to show me a practical example of how to incorporate a facility into my attached Database which serves to select an equal ratio of my field “SectionHeadings” such that out of the 30 “random” questions that it currently generates it will provides me on completion with the following:
5 From Set1
5 From Set2
5 From Set 3 …..etc etc
It currently generates the 30 questions that I need without a problem; however it routinely selects any number of one particular type, sometimes more from one subject and less of another.
All subjects headings are of equal importance to me and as a consequence would be very grateful if you could look at what I’ve already done and show me what needs to be done in order to achieve my aim.
I hope my request is possible - Any help you could give me would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.
Best Regards

Hi,
I have a query that I would like to run from a form. I have created the button and the query, but want to add in a clause that will use the user selected record / field as the criteria for the query when its run.
Got any examples of code I could have a play with
I am struggling here so need any help I can get!!

I have a list of client stored in a table "Clients". I would like a form to present a user with the next client in the list at the click of a button, but there will be some exceptions:
Some clients will be given priority, and should be moved to the top of the list although they may not be the next logical entry in the table. Priority clients are indicated by a field "Priority" with a Yes/No option set before work begins.
Some clients will have requested a call at a certain time of the day - This time will be stored in a field named timeToCall. The next user to click the button after the time has passed should be given that clients details.
When the end of the list is reached any clients who could not be contacted will be tried again. My table currently has a field "Attempts" to track this, but that may not be needed. Clients who have been dealt with will be removed from the "Clients" table to a "Completed" table.
Whichever record is selected will be flagged as being dealt with so that 2 people don't get the same entry. I may add a new field for this, but right now I plan to use the "attempts" field to control this
I am unsure of the best approach to the above, I'm not very well-versed in Access, but if I were doing this in Excel (as originally requested by my boss) I would do it like this:
Use a form where the "Next" button will use VBA code to first check if there are any priority clients, then check if there are any timed client's ready to call and then move to the next entry that has had 0 contact attempts. Whichever record is the next one will be displayed in the form to the user.

After some research I thought I had found a neat way to SELECT records from a table based on an 'IN' clause and sort them in the same order as the values for the 'IN' clause... i.e.
Code:
SELECT Unique_No, Table_Name, List_Order FROM My_Table
WHERE Table_Name = 'Titles'
AND List_Order IN (3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2)
ORDER BY INSTR('3,1,15,4,5,12,7,2', List_Order)
Unfortunately, this returns list_order 5 just after 15 and list_order 2 just after 12, thus
List_Order
3
1
15
5
4
12
2

Is it possible to run a basic select query to pull records based on multiple strings entered by a user?
I have a query with field criteria - Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*'
This allows the user to input one MMDBID and the records are retrieved from the db.
I can also use the OR statement in the same field criteria "AB123" OR "BC123", and all records based on those values are pulled back.
But I cannot get the user to input multiple values and I tried amending the SQL string based on the OR criteria above
SQL statement (Like) is below :
SELECT tblFund.MMDBID, tblFund.[Investment Name], tblCodesLive.[IOE Code], tblCodesLive.[Uptix Code], tblFund.[Red Payment Deadline]
FROM (tblFund INNER JOIN tblCodesLive ON tblFund.MMDBID = tblCodesLive.MMDBID) INNER JOIN tblContact ON (tblFund.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID) AND (tblCodesLive.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID)
WHERE (((tblFund.MMDBID) Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*') AND ((tblFund.Editing)=False) AND ((tblFund.Closed_Fund)=False));
Hi
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”
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
PLEASE HELP!
Hello:
I have an issue I've run into and have searched around and tried to resolve. The issue is that I have a table that is updated once a week with new data, calculations are performed on new fields, etc...Ok, no problem on that. Oh, to give you a quick overview, the table is for Open and Received orders. Ok, the new field is Actual Received Date. Well, if open, obviously it's not received. If received, it's placed in that field, if Open, that field is blank for that record. I need to create a SELECT QUERY, would save TONS of time here if possible, to do an IF THEN ELSE type aspect that basically, if Actual Receive Date is present, then use this calc, if not, use that calc, etc...ANY IDEAS? Take a look below for additional information. The following are ONLY EXAMPLES to give you a better understanding of the issue.
1 Table, 1 Query, 2 Fields, IF THEN ELSE EXPRESSION within SELECT QUERY under 1 Field.
Field name in query = "DAYS LATE"
ISSUE: (in vb view)
Dim Value1 as String
Dim Value2 as String
Value1 = Date() - [mDueDate]
Value2 = [mActReceiveDate] - [mDueDate]
If IsNull([Tables]![tblOrdersMain]![mActReceiveDate].value) = True Then
[Query]![Query]![DAYS LATE].value = Value1
Else
[Query]![Query]![DAYS LATE].value = Value2
End If
Well, definitely need HELP! Any questions or anything please let me know.
Thanks!
I have joined 3 tables using the query design and I have 3 different fileds. There are fields that have information that I don't need. e.g. I don't want the first 10 characters of field 1. How do I do this in query design (even in SQL view). Or do I need to do this in the table itself before joining the table. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks for any input.

I just want the ones that have different number in between . I have tries ever Select statement I can think of and still coming up with every thing but what I need.
I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?
