Simple Like Query

May 11, 2005

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

Simple Query..

Jul 26, 2005

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!

Probably A Simple Query....

Apr 5, 2006

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

Simple Query, For You - Not Me

Jul 6, 2006

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

Simple Query

Sep 11, 2006

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

Please Help - Simple Query

Sep 26, 2006

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.

Simple Query Help

Nov 21, 2006

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

Does anyone have any ideas how i can do this plz?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Simple WHERE Query

Dec 9, 2007

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

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? :)

Simple Average Query

Jun 3, 2005

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!

Annoying Query, Yet Simple? - Please Help.

Jul 29, 2005

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.

Help Needed With This Simple Query

Sep 12, 2005

I'm missing a bit of experience dealing with this query. It's very simple. I'm selecting log activities from COMLOG. However I only want the most recent DateStamp entry of each Cust_FK entry listed.

Because there are more logactivities, there are more/identical Cust_FK values. Would I first have to group these?? I just don't know how I would go about it.

SELECT COMLOG.LogID, COMLOG.DateStamp, COMLOG.Cust_FK, COMLOG.LogActivity
FROM COMLOG;

thanks

Very Simple Query Not Working....

Sep 15, 2005

we have a main table for tracking pickups....some of the fields are combo boxes with relationships to other tables....one such relationship is units (ml, gallon, ounce, etc)...in the main table everything works just fine....a user enters the location info, the amount and the corresponding units. thus, an example would be a user picks up something from building X, room 101, 10, Gallons.....the 10 refers to the gallons, the user picked up 10 gallons...

now for the query:
i'm creating a query for which i will base a report on...in query design if i just select the above info everything works fine....it comes out on the report as 5 Gallons....however, what i'd like to do is concatenate the two fields so that they take up less space on the report and are more visibly appealing...here's what i tried in query design:
Amt: [amount]&Space(1)&[units]
this does not work....in the units table that provides Gallons as a selection in the combo field, Gallons has a key value of 5.....thus, when i run the query using the above code i get 10 5 - where 10 is the amount the amount and 5 is the key from the combo box...

i've tried bringing in the units table but then i get a type mismatch....how can i concatenate the two fields and show the proper units? this has to be simple but i cannot get it to work... :mad:

Simple Substring Query

Mar 26, 2006

I'm a rank beginner in Access, and apologize in advance for such an elementary question, but I need the basic syntax to run a Delete Query on the substring of the first character in a field. The question is #8 in Shelly Cashman's Office 2003 Course One p.AC168, Delete all records where Description starts with S.

p.AC137 deals with Delete Query, but only covers deletions based on whole fields. I tried 'Help', but ended up at a Microsoft site offering me a 30MB file on SQL. I may well get deeper into Access after a more advanced course, but this one is for beginners.

TIA for any help with this.

~~~Peter.

PS I thought I created a profile with an alias, but I seem to have ended up with pvmoor@verizon. instead. Oh, well.

Simple Crosstab Query Help Please

Mar 27, 2006

Need some help please.
It sound simple but I just can not get it to work.

What I want to do is convert the following table

Detail | Column1 | Column2 |
Name1| abc | 123 |
Name2| efg | 456 |

to this

| Name1 | Name2 |
| abc | 123 |
| efg | 456 |


I know it sound easy but If I try to use a crosstab it keeps wanting me to sum or average my value column, which I don't want to do.
In short I want the values in column 1 to become the heading for other columns.
I have been working on this for almost a week and I know that someone must know how to make it happen easily.. so please put me out of my misery.
