I have looked but have been unable to find the answer in past posts and this must be a common problem. I wish to include all records up to and including a date passed in the prompt "Criteria: <=[enter end date]". I changes the date format in the back end to short and I am in the US. However I get only dates less then the the prompted date.
Thanks for any help

I created a personal database for keeping track of my meeting schedules. My table has Date field, Time field and Subject field. I have made several entries. On a given day, I have several meetings at different times.
I created a combo box in my form to choose the Date and see that day’s meetings. The meetings list of the date chosen by combo box should appear in my form. But here I think I made a mistake. Each record has date, time and subject. When I click the combo box, the drop down list shows the same date many times (as I have entered the same date but different time and subject for each record). How do I make the combo box display the date only once and not same date several times? Do I have to change the table set up? Please guide me.
Hi,
I am trying, and getting nowhere...so would appreciate your help... to create a query where records with dates from 8 weeks, or two months ahead appear in the query.
That is I have contracts ending in two months in my table and I want to run a query on who I should call now to renew contracts.
I have a contract end date in table.
I have tried
>=DateAdd("m",2,Now())<=DateAdd("m",2,Now())
only to get all sorts?
>=DateAdd("d",60,Now())<=DateAdd("d",68,Now())
only to get all sorts of things appearing?
Anyone that could help would be great.
I have contact info in a TBLCONTACTS and linked to TBLMOBILES via COMPANY_ID
Thanks heaps!

I have set up a report which prompts the user for a start and end date. However, if they want to run it for a full month they enter eg. 01/07/07 and 1/07/07 - this will not include entries ending on 31/07/07.
Is there a way I can change the criteria prompt so that it read both dates entered as inclusive in the query. I am currently using
Between [enter earliest date:] and [enter latest date:]
Right now I have this in the query criteria row:
>=[Enter Start Date:] And <=[Enter End Date:]
This makes two prompts pop up one at a time. I was wondering if there was a way to combine both start and end date boxes in one prompt so I can see what dates I decide to type side by side. Is this possible?
I have a need to prompt a user for a date, When they enter that date the qry should do as follows.
if rec_date <= (DATE PROMPTED FOR) and rel_date is > (DATE PROMPTED FOR) ,
then
return Qty and a few other fields....
No the DATE PROMPTED FOR is not a field in the table.
Do I need it to be?
I have a field that is a Date Time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) and I would like to prompt the user for a begining date range and ending date range. I know how to prompt the user, but I would like for them to only key in the Date portion and not the time. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using MS Access 2002 and I'm trying to create a prompt for a date and then enter that date into the body of the letter.
Also can the date format be short and converted into a long format on the letter.
Example:
Prompt - Enter Date
Date entered = 12/31/2013
Sample Letter:
Your subscription ends on December 31, 2013 if you would like to renew etc.....
I have a table of data going back to 2007 that needs to be looked at on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. I am able to filter the data when running a normal query by using
Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
in the Criteria section of the Date field. I now need to apply this same idea to a crosstab query. My current set up is:
[Gender]- Group By / Row Heading
[Plan Type]- Group By / Column Heading
[Pmt Amt]- Sum / Value
[Date]- Where / Criteria = Between [Start Date] and [End Date]
I am getting an error message that says:"The Microsoft Office Access database engine does not recognize '[Start Date]' as a valid field name or expression."Am I setting something up incorrectly or is it impossible to use input prompts in a crosstab query like this?
I am using Access 2007 and I have had a curious issue arise.
I like to use the Date Picker feature on all my forms to make it easier to enter dates. I have set up each table's date field property to "show date picker for dates", as per attached (.jpg)
When I use that particular field in a form, I also set up the field to allow for the Date Picker option (date picker form property sheet.jpg)
The curious part is that not every form that I set up actually shows the date picker when I select the date field. Some forms it works perfectly, others it doesn't.
I Have a table that I collect data for numerous ID's. One ID may have 5 dates that is was serviced. It is due to be serviced at set intervals which is calculated from the most recent service date. I'm calculating the next service date in a text box with the DateAdd func. =(DateAdd('m',[Cal Freq],[MaxCalDate])) with the MaxCalDate being a Max func in a different text box for selecting the most recent sevice date. I'm trying to update the [Next Due] field in the [Master Asset] table with the calculated next service date so I can do queries on items that are due service within a date range. If I do an Nex Due Expr1: in the queries to calc the next due service date then do a criteria on that Expr1: such as >=[Start Date] And <=[End Date] it states datatype mismatch? Is there a way to select a requested data range on a calculated type date/time? Or How can I update the [Next Due] filed in a different table?
View 8 Replies View RelatedGood Afternoon,
I am currently trying to create a query that will allow me to do the following:
Prompt the user with a pop up box, asking:
Please enter start date
Please enter end date
It will then select everything from my table between those two dates (this works), and then it will ignore all those items that have a time after 7am or before 7pm (this works), but I need it to also select all entries that fall on a saturday or sunday. Now because my raw data comes in the form of (australian dates): 7/09/2005 9:39:10 AM, I am using an update query to split the field into two fields: DateFrom and TimeFrom (both are date/time fields). I then need to create another field called Day, which takes the data in DateFrom and converts the date to dddd (using Format(Date()) i assume), giving me a field with the day name in it, ie: Sunday.
I can then use that to differentiate between weekdays and weekends.... as I use MySQL and PHP more often than I do access, I have no idea how to do this.
So in short:
How do I (this is what i think i need):
Select * from tblData WHERE Day!=Sunday OR Saturday AND TimeFrom > 7:00pm OR TimeFrom < 7:00am
Select * from tblData WHERE Day=Sunday OR Saturday
Both of those selections, will of course need to be performed within my date constraits specified by the user.
Am I making sense?
Hi,
I have a query that gives an out put of 'worst offenders'. these offenders are in order of on field ascending (number of entries made per week) and another field descending (total sales).
It is by the combination of the sorting of these fields that we have an ordered list of offenders.
For my report i want to only see the top 10 records of this sorted list.
so for this selection i simply want to select the [B]first 10 records [B]of the ordered list. I cant make a selection by any one particular field(as explained above)
i have looked into the 'select top' functions and 'dfirst', but I dont think they'll work for me.
Any ideas?
Slighlty confused,

hey guys, im having one last problem with a report im making. just want to thank boblarson, Rich and Dennisk for all the help they have given me upto now, i have added to your reputation guys, thanks!
My problem is as follows:
I have a form for my products and a subform for the suppliers, each product can have many suppliers.
I need to have a report of products to send out to customers, so i created a check box to "tick" if i want to include it in the report. So far so good, however, the report shows each product several times for each supplier :(
can anyone tell me how to select only the supplier with the lowest supplier price for each product
Cheers guys
Hope someone can help.
I am building a database to evaluate football team performance. I have a table with results (tblResults) where a team will have records in either the Home Team or Away Team fields depending on the fixture.
I want to include a "Team Form" calculation that selects the last 6 games for each team (both home & away) and allocates points to calculate a recent form stat for comparison with the opposition.
I have tried using the TOP VALUES option in a query, but I can't seem to get it to extract the top 6 in descending date order for every team.
Would be very grateful if someone could help!
I have a table with the field "Date". The date is in the format mm/dd/yyyy.
I would like to create a query that selects only the year of each record, and disregards the month and day.
Is this possible?
I have a database that allows the user to order clothing items.
Each size of each item has a different stock number.
I have [StockNo] - [StaffNo] - [Qty] i need to generate [OrderNo].
The problem i have is that [OrderNo] is incremented after every five five items (ie[StockNo]).
This gives me my first problem of selecting just the first five records of a table in order to allocate an order number.
The second problem i have is that in order to allocate an order number, i have to summarise the [Qty] by [StockNo].
This gives me the opportunity to select the order number but i lose the individual [StaffNo] information.
This information, together with the [OrderNo] is needed for a master order table.
I have created a crosstab query which summarised the [StockNo]but how do i retrieve the [StaffNo] information from the column headings.
I am new to Access and would be grateful for any help or comments as to whether i am going about solving this problem in the best way.
Thanks
Hi,

I'm trying to write an app that will allow the user to search for records based on database fields, then select a subset of those records to be manipulated by other functions. The VBA book I'm reading led me to believe that a RecordSet would be the best way to store this subset of records, but searching around on the web has pointed me toward using a DAO.QueryDef. I can't seem to get either method to work!
Here's a quick overview of the app: everything is placed on one form. I have two tab controls that make a sort of upper and lower set of pages. One of the lower pages has the search functions. The user enters his search criteria into one or more textboxes (correlating to database fields, i.e. Last Name, SSN, etc), then hits the Search button. This should query the database, then populate a listbox with the search results. The user can then select one or more records from the listbox, hit another button, and the selected records are copied to another listbox on a page on the upper half of the form, where they can be further manipulated.
Can someone advise me on the best objects to use to accomplish this? A short code sample would be awesome.
By the way, does VBA have some sort of online API reference (like Java)? I know that MS Access has the object browser, but it doesn't give descriptions of the objects, nor does it list methods that can be invoked on them. Could someone also point me towards some good programmer's resources?
Thanks...
I am using an unbound box on the top of a form where I would like to select a clients name and have the form populate with their info. My problem is that the box will pull up the record by last name, but only pull up the first record with that last name in alphabetical order.
Example, If I have the following names in my database
Ben Smith
John Smith
Tim Smith
If I select "john smith" from the drop down "ben smith" will show up, if I select "tim smith" "ben smith" will still show up. If I select "ben smith" the correct record would show up.
An image of the property sheet is attached ....
Hello all.
We have product orders that get held in process for a variety of reasons (contract not signed properly, missing drawings, etc). It is our Order Processing Rep's (OPR) responsibility to review the requirements, follow up with the salesman, get the proper documents together and get the order released for product assembly. We capture the date the order was originally held with a date-formatted text field, and then we later capture the release date with a similar field, entered by the OPR.
The OPR is graded on the average time it takes to release a held order. Since they can enter text into the release date field, they can fudge their metric. I'd like to fix this by having a button on the form say "Order Released" and, when it is selected and verified by a second click, the date that occurs is captured in the table under "Release Date" but is hidden from the OPR's ability to edit it.
Can this be done? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have a field defined as Date/Time Short Date which shows values like 8/01/2006, 8/10/2006, etc and I need to select dates in a range.
However, when I write a query with code like:
SELECT AMOUNT
FROM INVOICE_TBL
WHERE PICK_UP_DATE BETWEEN 08/01/2006 AND 08/31/2006
It doesn't pick up the records I also tried >= <= with the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I want to select a subset of table called TRP. It should extract me all records
which got the property Valid to date < enddate.
enddate is a date selected by the user in a form .
Somehow it doesn't recognize the enddate in the following :
Code:
Public Sub test()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT TRP.* INTO [TEST] " & _
" FROM TRP " & _
" Where TRP.[Valid to] < enddate"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
I tried the Crystal Reports forum, but no responses. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong with the below statement in Crystal Reports 8.5. I'm
trying to select reecords that exceed 7 days based on a Crystal Reports parameter. The parameter has the format of 2/27/2006 (Discrete value). The 'LastRouteDate' has a format of 'datetime'. Thanks ! ! !
{?Select_Date} - DateValue({Applications.LastRouteDate}) > 7
I have a problem I should be able to solve, but I can't think my way around it.
I need to automate a series of tasks to perform the following:
1. The user clicks a button on a menu form and arrive at a select records form.
2. The user makes choices regarding the contents of certain fields (blank, not blank, equals a text string, etc.) and presses OK.
3. On the OK click, the fields are applied to a query, the results of which are exported in an excel spreadsheet.
I've been doing step 2 and 3 by hand in that I alter the selections in the design view of the query and save it. I then run a macro that deletes the data in the current table, runs the append query with the new criteria, and creates an excel spreadsheet of the new data.
However, I now have to make this functionality available to a non-tech person, thus the need to create a GUI menu that can launch a form on which the user can select options and with a single click, launch the macro.
I've tried adapting select forms that I've used with forms and reports using the doCmd.openquery, but they will only work for select or crosstabs, not appends. I considered having the form create the query and then qrite the append query off that, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Can anyone give me some direction on where I can take this?
Thanks.

I was wondering if someone could help me.
I have a simple table with data that gets updated daily. I need to split the data into 5 equal parts for work distribution. Because the amount of records always changes I can not go by numbering so I need to go by percentage, to split it into 5 ( 20% ) parts. Please help.
