Simple Northwind Query
Nov 3, 2005
Hi
I am re-visiting access for the 1st time in a couple of years to develop a quotations system and I am just messing around at the moment with Northwind trying to work out how it all works.
I have come across a problem that is baffling me....
When displaying the order details table (referenced from products), the product ID is disoplayed in text form, not as a number. Whenever I try and do this with 2 similar tables using the query builder I always get just the other tables number. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as every field, attribute, join etc seems to be just the same as the sample tables.
Please could someone help a duffer? :)

In the Northwind DB, there is a query of the "Ten Most Expensive Products"
After looking at it, I can't figure out where or how it knows to only pull the 10 highest price products. It's probably right in front of my nose...but it's making me crazy!
Thanks for any replies...

A while back a colleague at work (who has since left my company) showed me an example of a graph within a Data Access Page in the Microsoft Northwind database. The Northwind database that I've downloaded doesn't contain such an example. Does anyone know of a Northwind DB with an exmaple of a graph embedded into a Data Access Page?

I am just wondering how good of an example Northwind is?
I have been playing with the database and noticed that the number of units in stock doesn't decrease after I have created an order. I am trying to build an inventory database and would like this feature.
Am I wasting my time with Northwind?

Wow! I just looked at the Access 2007 Northwind database sample and they have revamped it and given it some cool stuff. It is definitely not the "old" Northwind.

Hi There,
I want to synchronize 2 comboboxes (actually 3, but let's start with 2)
On a form I have 2 comboboxes:
- CompanyType (FK fkCompanyTypeID in table Contacts)
- Category (FK fkCompanyCategoryID in table Contacts)
Let's say we have companytype CT1 until CT10.
For CT1, CT2 & CT3 I want to choose a catagory, so the combobox must be 'enabled'.
For CT4 until CT10 the Catagory combobox must be disabled, so that I cannot choose a category value.
Actually I want to choose 2 catgories (2 comboboxes) for CT1 until CT3.
But I think that an explanation for the example above is sufficient for me.
Both comboboxes are filled by a Select Query, and the values are filled in a separate table. (Table CompanyType (PK pkCompanyTypeID) & Table CompanyCategory (PK pkCompanyCategoryID)).
Can someone please help me on this issue? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Greets,
Quinten

When attempting to select a letter in a form copied from the Northwind's Customer Phone List Form, I am now getting an error message that says "The object doesn't contain the Automation object "RecordsetClone'".
I never had that problem before.
Appears to be something in the Option Group that has gone awry, but I cannot access the Visual Basics behind the Macro.
Is there a way to suppress this message? It does not appear to be a problem in bringing up the sought after page.
:confused: :confused: Please help!!

Hi guys,
As you all know, in the Northwind sample database there are the Invoices and Invoices Filter query. The Invoices Filter query adds a criteria to select only items that belong to the current order. OrderID is integer.
However, if I change OrderID to Replication ID, it stops working.
Any idea how to make it work? Currently I work around this problem in my DB by adding a criteria to filter by Date and Customer ID, but IMO this is less than ideal.

Hi,
I have a problem with form design,
I want a form like in Northwind sample database: Summary of Sales by Year Report.

The reason why I want it, because I want to control the size.

Hi there,
I have a really simple question.
I have a field in a table that contains comments (text format). I want to run a query where I can get only the records that contain the word "high" in the comments. There may be some typos so I would like records returned that also contain something like "high". High is not the only word in the comments.
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Row

Hi guys, wondering if you could help me, I can't seem to get this right..
I have two tables in question:
Items: StyleTypes:
------ ------------
ItemID ItemType
ItemType StyleType
Style
Lots of Attributes
ItemType is a list of items (Table, Desk, Bookshelf, Chair)
Style is a type of style for the item (Circular table, Radial Desk)
I want to create the Items.Style field based upon a query of the StyleTypes. So if a user types "Desk" in Items.ItemType then the Items.Style field will be limited to only those Styles which match that selected item within the StyleTypes table.
Think thats clear enough, but my attempts have all failed, hope you guys can give me a push in the right direction, thank you!

Hi all,
I have very little knowledge of databases and even less about writing queries.
The problem:
I have a database that lists cities (such as Paris, London, New York etc) as rows and employment status (Full-time, Part-time, Unemployed etc) as columns.
I need to go through each city and record which employment status is greatest (for each city) and present it in a new column. I can do this manually but I’m sure a query can be created to automate the process.
Hope that all made sense. Can anyone suggest ideas on where to start?
Many thanks,
Carl

hi
have just designed a rather simple music database for my dad to use at home as he has large collection.
have a table with the heading"artist" and another one with "album" ...my problem is that on the table there maybe 1 or more instances with the same artist but with different albums...when i run a simple query for ..say artists starting with the letter"a" i may get about 10 cases of the same artist appearing in my query when all i want is one...(depending on if i may put in say one artist like abba having 10 albums etc)...i am entering each artist with the album each time so i may enter the artist in say 10 times....depending on how many albums etc
if you understand all that...i would be grateful if someone could help me with a simple query

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
SQL and Access are both new to me. I have purchased some books (which are still in the mail), and have gone through this forum (which seems to be a little more advanced for me at this moment).
I have a database that contains Business_Unit (Store Numbers), Post_Date (Last Date of Inventory), and other misc. stuff. Anyways, My goal is to pull the latest date of inventory for each individual store before the last ninety days. What I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT informix_shrink_head.business_unit, informix_shrink_head.counting_event_id, informix_shrink_head.post_date, informix_shrink_head.delta_cost, informix_shrink_head.delta_count, informix_shrink_head.count_reason_cd, pcw_loc_master.closed
FROM informix_shrink_head, pcw_loc_master
WHERE (((informix_shrink_head.post_date)<=Date()-90) AND ((pcw_loc_master.closed) Is Null))
ORDER BY informix_shrink_head.business_unit;
However, I get the same store multiple times and for multiple post dates.
I do not even know if this can be done in one simple swoop, or if I need to create another table and re-query that? Any assistance or comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
A Gator

Hi guys. I have been away a while and boy am I rusty.
I would like to show how many available licenses there are. Here is what I have:
Software (Office 2003)
license purchased (8)
license used (2)
I added an expression along the lines of:
Available: Sum([tblSoftware]![Number of licences purchased]-[tblPC-LicenceRelation]![Number of licences])
This gave 14 and not the desired result of 6!!!
Simple I am sure!! :o

Hi Guys,
I have a database that collects information on products when engineers return them, what I need to do is when they have submitted the form, email it to 3 people so that the paperwork can be raised.
I understand that I will need to create a query to display just the last record and then email it.
So the idea is when a record is created and the engineer clicks submit the last record then gets emailed to the three people.
Please be gental with me im still quite new to all this.
How do i create a query that just displays the last record?:confused:
Thanks in advance.

I built an update query that adds two strings of text together with a _ inbetween.
eg
field1 = Hello
Field2 = Jamie
after update= Hello_Jamie
This works fine but when i attempt to run the code in SQL on an after update instance i can't get it to compile
The SQL straight from the working Update query is:
UPDATE tblPID SET tblPID.PIDPIDNoRev = (tblPID.PIDno)+"_"+(tblPID.PIDRev);
I have tried quite a few different ways and believe it to be a probelm with the speech marks or underscore
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [tblPID] SET [tblPID].PIDPIDNoRev = (([tblPID].PIDno)+"_"+([tblPID].PIDRev));"
anyone got any ideas? i'm sure it's pretty simple
Thanks, Jamie

Hi,
I am trying to run a query to retrieve all rows in all tables using a row called Project Status. I am however not able to retrieve any data what so ever with the wizard and by using the limited sql I know. I have attached a copy of my tables if it helps.
The relationships are as follows: Release to PCR - One to many, Sponsors to PCR - One to many. The column i want to filter on is Project_status located in the PCR table.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can do this plz?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I wish to create a very simple query but cannot find the correct syntax mentioned in any documentation.
The WHERE clause needs to have the effect of ignoring certain records in a table ie
WHERE fieldvalue <> 12 AND fieldvalue <> 23 AND fieldvalue <> 37 etc etc for up to an unspecified number of values.
Is the above the correct syntax (very tedious to construct in expression builder or natively) or is there something more simple available such as
WHERE fieldvalue <> (12, 23, 37 ......)
Many thanks

The following query never returns, even though there is an index on the name field in the Patient table:
SELECT p.Name FROM sheet4 AS s INNER JOIN Patient AS p ON p.NAME LIKE s.LASTNAME + ', ' + s.FIRSTNAME + ' %'

I apologize, I know this has been covered. But I just spent half an hour reading old posts and still can't quite decide how to apply it to what I'm doing.
I have a db that logs surgeries and all their details. One of the new things they want to do is be able to run a list of average cost for a certain surgery, since patients are always asking ahead of time how much it will cost. I have a query (and report that runs from it) that will list all the surgeries and total charges for individual ones for a date range the user specifies. But I can't figure out how to make it calculate an average charge for each surgery. I could if there were always a certain number to divide by, but of course there could be 2 of this type of surgery and 57 of that type.
The query I currently have set up is:
Field: MR#
Table: SurgeryLog
Field: Wname: [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] & " " & [Initial]
Table:
Sort: Ascending
Field: OperationDate
Table: Surgery Log
Criteria: >=[Enter Start Date]
Field: PatientType
Table: SurgeryLog
Criteria: "SDS"
Field: TotalCharges
Table: SurgeryLog
Criteria: >0
Field: Operations: [Operation1Performed] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Operation2Performed] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Operation3Performed]
Thanks much!

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has recently created a simple database which holds details of childrens story books. It logs the name of the Author, the storyline, its character etc in various tables...
He's currently creating some simple queries for his database. However, there is one query which neither he nor I can figure out, I'll try to explain to the best of my ability.
Basically, the 'story line' field in his database explains the basic plot of the book, some of the plots have the words "son", "dad", "father" and "boy" in them.
Now, he wants to create a simple query, which looks up and displays data which contains the keywords "dad", "father", "son" etc in them. So far he's tried...
Like "*Son*" Or Like "*Father*" etc...
This worked, briefly. The query was bringing up storylines with both contained the words "son" and "father" , which is correct. However, the query was also bringing up story lines with the word "song" in them, or any word which remotely related to one of the keywords, but didn't contain the exact criteria in the query (son, father etc).
In basic terms, how do you create a query which only brings up words that match the EXACT query criteria? In this case, 'Son' or 'Father' or 'Dad' etc? Rather than words which only briefly relate to the criteria, such as 'Song' or 'Fat' etc?
Thanks for your cooperation, feedback and examples would be highly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Jonathan.
