I created my first RDB input form and it works fine. In the subform new records are created at the bottom row. The subform has a date field. The main and sub forms are based on tables.
When I open the input form I would like to see the subform records sorted by the date field but I don't know where to look for help on that. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
I am including my form in design layout just in case it will help.
I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.
When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).
The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input. Hope someone can help please.
I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
I currently have a form where I would like the form to display the oldest account first, so the overall objective is the employee will action the oldest account first and then go onto the next one etc.
I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.
A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.
However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?
I'm displaying records in a subform that is in the datasheet format.I would like a sort button on my main form so that I can click a column header, press this button and it can sort the datasheet ascending.
Does anyone know how to sort subform records by clicking column headers. I know there is one way by select column and click A->Z button from toolbar. Is there other way to do so? I know there are same kind of posting, but they couldn't solve my problem.
I am bringing in two fields into a table which looks like this:
Field 1 Field 2 A 2006-07-25 A 2006-08-21 A 2006-09-21 A 2006-10-21
This is how it's sorted and do not forget that field 2 is a text field.
Now i made two different queries pulling in both Field 1 and Field 2, however in one query i'm pulling in First of Field 2 and in the second query Last of Field 2. For some reason, i'm getting 2006-10-21 as a first and 2006-07-25 as last.
Hey Im a newb waiting on my books but i need to get this done

I have a Table that is used to collect data from client’s phone calls. There is a field for the Client’s name and another for the date the client called (There are a whole lot more fields, but for simplicities sake let’s focus on these two). I have sorted the table on date and indexed the date field. I need to add a “RECORD NO.” field in order to get some queries to run correctly. This field will be autonumber. I would like to have the RECORD NO. field to run in conjunction with the date, that is RECORD. NO. 1 would be the earliest date in the table and the last RECORD NO. would be the most recent date that a client called in. I have verified that the table is sorted by date, but when I add the RECORD NO. field the table reverts to sorting alphabetically by client’s name. The client’s name field is not indexed. I can’t figure out why it is doing this. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks.
I have two tables put into one query to generate a report. One table is Projects and the other is Project Additions. Both tables have the same fields and I want to be able to sort using date criteria. It will sort by the Project table dates but not by the Project Number Additions table. I have tried to put criteria in both field but then it will not work. Is there a better way to do this? The criteria I have put in is under the Project Number Table is between>=[Enter Start Date] and <=[Enter End Date].
In a report I need to sort by the month. the table field is "Appointment_Date" this is the code I am trying to use in the query behind the report . Appointment_SortMonth: Format([Appointment_Date],"mmmm" & " " & "yy") but it doesnt sort. also the SORTING & GROUPING MENU does not work either. what do I try Now ???. your assistance will be appreciated.
In order to do a report, I would like to make it so that each customer is on its own row within this query, with his or her total days added up. I have no idea how to go about it.
I'm trying to sort dates by the latest date when the query returns multiple IDs with different results. Ex. ID1 1/1/2006 1/8/2006 ID2 1/2/2006 1/9/2006
In this example I would want ID1 with the date of 1/8/2006 and ID2 with the date of 1/9/2006 since they are the latest date. I will have many IDs that I need to run a query on that will all return the latest date. TIA
I have a calculated date field in a query...if I try and sort by this field I get a data type mismatch.
[CONTREFF] is a date field in a table, [TERM] is a number field in a table. I am trying to calculate the year the contract expires in the "EndTerm" field. The calculation works fine, but I can't sort it.
I have a form that allows the user to specify, among other things, date ranges for data to be displayed in a subform (in a form, not datasheet).
In the subform, the user can click any column heading to sort the records by record number, employee name, department, etc. The Click event calls a function: Private Sub lblReviewDate_Click() Call SortForm(Me, "ReviewDate") End Sub
Here's the function module code: Function SortForm(frm As Form, ByVal sOrderBy As String) As Boolean 'Sort form column headings OrderBy to the string. Reverse if already set. If Len(sOrderBy) > 0 Then ' Reverse the order if already sorted this way. If frm.OrderByOn And (frm.OrderBy = sOrderBy) Then sOrderBy = sOrderBy & " DESC" End If frm.OrderBy = sOrderBy frm.OrderByOn = True SortForm = True End If End Function This works great - except on date fields, which are set to the medium date format as DD-Mmm-YY. I end up with a sort list that looks like this: 21-Apr-05 24-Jun-05 29-Jun-05 11-Jul-05 05-Apr-05 07-Jun-05 A sort in the reverse direction is equally messed up. Can someone advise what to do about this?
I have a form that shows multiple rows of linked/child records.The form in question is the "frmFilterNumberTypeView" form. When a particular filter is used (installed on an automobile), I would like to be able to click on the corresponding "Installed 1" button left of the filter number, so that by code, I can reduce the Qty on Hand by One, and insert the corresponding filter ID to the History table, along with the date/time the filter was used.
how to reduce the Qty on Hand, nor how to do the updates to the History table, I'll figure that out myself over the next week or two (hopefully it won't take that long). What I'm trying to figure out here is how I can associate the red "Installed 1" button with the filter to the right of whichever button I press.
how to sort the filter column on this same form. I'm fairly certain that this would be very easy to do if the subform in question was populated by means of a corresponding query, but I'm afraid that if I go that route that I'll spend another 20+ hours trying to figure out how to get the proper filter records to match the filter manufacturer, not to mention having to next figure out how to link the table so that if I modify any particular filter record, that I'll be able to have the associated table update accordingly.
Is it possible to sort the filter column without the subform record source being a query?
I am using Access 2007.I have a report that has 2 subreports within it.One of the sub reports input is from a table (Work Order Parts) whose records have a field called "DisplayOrder". This is a numeric field that I use to enable the user to specify the exact order that they want the records to be displayed in a form or report...well that's the plan anyway.
I can't seem to get the subreport to sort on the "DisplayOrder" field.
I have tried to set the Property value "Display Order" to "[Workorder Parts].DisplayOrder" but this doesn't seem to make a difference. The "Order By on Load" is set to "Yes".
Here is the "Record Source" value : SELECT DISTINCTROW [Workorder Parts].*, Parts.PartName, [Workorder Parts].Notes FROM Parts INNER JOIN [Workorder Parts] ON Parts.PartID = [Workorder Parts].PartID;
Ive created a form and one of the fields is a field called "Due Date"
I want to create a button that once pressed will sort the records in order of due date with the oldest being record 1.
How I can get a button to manipulate fields.
Ive got a set of buttons at the bottom of my form (Ive placed them in the footer) that were set up using Access automatically. They go to first, last, next and previous records. Ive also set up two extra, one that creates a new record and another that sets the record.
The thing is that the set record button I would actually like it to take the data in a field called "Frequency", add a random number to it and then set the record.
