I have a query that filters two tables. 1) Status 2) Name
The status is 1,2,3,4,5 from an option group on my form.
In the query I have <>3 for the status, whereby I only want records that are status 1,2,3,& 5.
When I run the query with all names it works perfectly, however I am trying to run the query for only a select few names versus all of them.
The problem is I do not know how to select only a few names versus all of the names and make it work. When I try to add names i.e "Doe, John" my Status pulls all records including option 3.
Can anyone help? I do not even know where to start seaching.
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:
Hi guys, I want to return all the records which contain information under a particular column heading, hence the statement thats supposed to return all tables where Sector colum is not empty. I am new to SQL and Access so not sure why this simple query isn't working. It is a subform and displays the results in the "details" section of the form below the controls.
I think it could be something to do with the fact that its a subform, but Im not sure about this.
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM [tblRecordInfo] WHERE Sector <> "" "
any ideas guys? any assistance is greatly appreciated
I have a six table database and have a query to show all records,(at the moment) but although i have put 3 records in for testing it only shows the first record. Any help gratefully recieved i'm pulling hair out.:mad:
I have a table filled with computer monitor information (tblMonitorManagement). I had query that uses combo boxes (cboSerialNo, cboRoom, cboDepartment) on a form for search parameters. The query is called qryMonitorManagement_Sub. The results are displayed in a subform (frmMonitorManagement_Sub). This works for both my desktop and also my laptop based forms/queries/tables.
Although this form works when using cboRoom and cboDepartment, it does not work when using cboSerialNo, so I decided to simplify it down to get to the root of the problem...here's what I did.
I created a new form, created a combo box (again called cboSerialNo), and had it look up the serial numbers in tblMonitors. Simple.
I created a query called qryMonitors_Test, added all fields from tblMonitors (not using the * option). I then set the SerialNo field criteria to the contents of the cboSerialNo on the new form. Simple. For now I'm ignoring searching on anything else.
I ran the query with no search parameters before I added the criteria, and it obviously displayed all the records in tblMonitors. Fine.
After adding the criteria (using Build...to prevent typos), I used the form to select a serial number, run the query and get no results returned.
If I copy and paste the same serial number and change the SerialNo criteria in the query to search for that it works fine. As soon as I tell it to search for the combo box contents it returns no data.
This is driving me completely bat-poo. It's nothing I've not done a squillion time before but it just refuses to work. I've got to assume it's a query issue as opposed to a form issue, but things don't get much simpler than this should be!
I built a query with the wizard to group by Reason for testing
The SQl was
TRANSFORM Count(Cultureworkload.IRLNumber) AS CountOfIRLNumber SELECT Cultureworkload.Reasonfortesting, Count(Cultureworkload.IRLNumber) AS [Total Of IRLNumber] FROM Cultureworkload GROUP BY Cultureworkload.Reasonfortesting PIVOT Format([Reception],"mmm") In ("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug"," Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec");
Although I filtered reception field by month to 1st quarter it shows empty months like Apr,May Jun etc.
Tasklist.RowSource = "SELECT [Tasks].Staff_Name, [Tasks].Project_Title, [Tasks].Percentage_Complete FROM [Tasks] WHERE [Tasks].Date_Allocated < aa ORDER BY [Tasks].Staff_Name;"
how can i make it look the the data i put in "aa" rather than prompt a msg box asking for "aa"?
Using a toggle box to ask the following question, i have data that contains either OPEN or CLOSED against each record. I tried using the following in the criteria for the specific data to either select all the OPEN records when the box is clicked and i would like to select all records OPEN and CLOSED when it is nto clicked
I've done this tons of times, so I don't understand what's happening... The title says it all: when I update the ID of one record of the main table, the referenced records on related tables won't update even though they have a relationship between them with the option "Cascade update" clicked.
In the attached database, the main table "Expedientes" is related to table "Actuaciones".
This should be easy; I'm tring to select records that contain certain words in a table layout. I right click in the column, select filter for, but what criteria do I use if I want to find all records with, say, the word aerial in the column?
I'm working in Access 97 and I've got a form that I want to use to create filters with.
There are a couple of things that I'm not clear about and I'd appreciate any suggestions that you can make:
1. The form seems to remember the last filter, so when I click on the Filter by form button it shows the last filter by default. I've included the following in the click event: RunCommand (acCmdRemoveFilterSort) Me.FilterOn = False RunCommand (acCmdFilterByForm) Surely either of the first two statements should remove the filter, shouldn't they? and if not then what are they for?
2. I can't get the 'OR' tabs to show at the bottom of the filter by form screen unless I apply the filter once and then click on the filter by form button again. Is there any way of forcing these tabs to appear?
platform : access (adp) / sql server Problem : form filter not executing in subforms
When I goto one of my subforms I can activate the form filter. When executing the form filter no records show up, it just keeps showing my criteria. When disactivating the form filter I receive an error message telling that my view must be misspelled (it's about spaces). My view is called Vw_people , as a record source it works fine so it can't be misspelled.
Is the problem the adp connection or the subform? I don't know
I have a report "Work Order Details" that that is based on a query and opens along with a form that is used to set filters. Based on samples I have looked at and reading, I cannot figure out what is missing. When I select my item form one of 5 unbound combo box 's and click the "Set filter" button, it brings up a paramter box?? If I cancel out the box, I still don't get a result. Just for the heck of it, I filled in a name in the paramter box, still no luck. The report property has "Filter On" as YES. The close button, clear button, and drops downs operate perfectly.
Here is the On Click Event info from my "set filter" button:
Private Sub Command28_Click()
Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer 'Build SQL String For intCounter = 1 To 5 If Me("Filter" & intCounter) <> "" Then strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("Filter" & intCounter).Tag & "] " & " = " & Chr(34) & Me("Filter" & intCounter) & Chr(34) & " And " End If Next
If strSQL <> "" Then 'Strip Last " And " strSQL = left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 5)) 'Set the Filter property Reports![Work Order Details].Filter = strSQL Reports![Work Order Details].FilterOn = True End If
I have a navigation form which has two subforms on it (ie 2 tabs linking to different forms). I have got aq filter working for one of the forms but not on the other. This is using
If IsNull(Me.txtoperationscontract) Then MsgBox "Please type a contract number into the textbox!", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Incorrect Details" Else Me.OperationsSubform.Form.Filter = "[Contract]='" & Me.txtoperationscontract.Value & "' " Me.OperationsSubform.Form.FilterOn = True End If
The problem is that it does not work on subform B because the Contract field does not exist.
When I use the filter by form, filter by selection, and toggle filter buttons located on the ribbon, they work normally on my form, in the usual way.
However when I use the button wizard to add the various available filter buttons to my form, it adds the buttons with the correct graphics on - but in form view clicking on the buttons does not actually do anything.
I've tried running compact and repair but still the same.
I have a form that uses a listbox. I can select multiple items and then update a subform. When I press a button with VBA and use the filter property on the subform for the first time, nothing happens. When I press the button a second time, it does - and it works thereafter with different selections. It only happens that first time, after loading the form and pressing the button for the first time.
I have tested that the list items are accessible via the vba variables and stepping through my code and the problem starts with the filter properties.
is not switched on first time (I have tried a requery and refresh statement after this). When I step through the code the first time, the FilterOn property remains false. A second button press and it is fine.
I recently made a new version of our database complete with forms, querys etc.. using Access 2010. It looked good and nice, but we encountered an unexpected problem. In all forms that contains memo-type fields quick filter is not working (there is no lists, checkboxes etc..). My users really like quick filters and are understandably irritated. I would understand if this disappearance would affect only memo-type fields, but it affects ALL the fields.
I also know that there are problems with memos in Access 2010. I have tried to make new forms, but every time I add memo fields quick filter stops functioning. I have also tried to change properties, options and what not, but to no use. In older versions of our forms this feature works just fine, but they were made in older version of Access (don't know which since oldest ones are from year 2003). Television
I have witten a code in the close event of a "Primary" form that would update a Combo boxe on a "secondary" form only if the "secondary" form is open. ie:
Private Sub Form_Close() If Forms!frmEnquiry.Open Then Forms!frmEnquiry!CboCustomer.Requery Else DoCmd.Close End If End Sub
This code keeps giving me an error, is anybody has got any idea why? Thanks in advance.
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.
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!
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?
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 alan

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.
