Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form
Mar 10, 2006
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)

Hi,
I'm using DAO in C++ to write data in MS Access table. I found that MS Access will automatically sort those records in ascending order based on the primary key. I need to leave those records based on the write sequence, can I do that?
Thank you in advance:)

Hello,
I have a project table that I track the progress of each job in by entering dates when certain portions are done. What I would like to do is when I fill in the "Project Completed" or "Cancelled" columns, to have that record automatically filtered out of the table. I still want to be able to turn off the filter at the end of the year to see all the projects we did, but I don't want this project cluttering up my table once it is finished or cancelled. Right now, I copy and move these completed projects to a separate table, but others say this is confusing and they can't figure out which table to use.
I input everything in the table format and don't have any forms that I use.
Thanks for any help.
Matt

I have a table that i would like to sort the records in one field Ascending.
I would like for the field to be updated after the record is entered so that the records in the field are all ways in a alphanumerical order.
I have put [SSB-CW].Square in the Order BY properties of the table. The Table is called SSB-CW and the field to sort is called Square. As i enter the records they stay in the order entered. When the table has been closed and then re-opened the records are sorted.
Do i need to design a form and set the lost focus property with the SQL [SSB-CW].Square.

hello,
I have a combo box that looks at a table with an SQL statement. In the form, the combo box shows the headers of the resulting table. Is there any way that the user can click on any header (let's say 'LastName' or 'Date' ) so the drop down list would be sorted by that header that the user clicks on??
Thank you very much

Below is an example of my table "Pricedata" include 03 fields:
Stock Name ___Price________Status Date
A________________10________ __1/6/2008_
A________________11___________1/7/2008_
A________________12___________1/8/2008__
B________________22___________1/6/2008_
B________________25___________1/7/2008_
B________________29___________1/8/2008__
C________________2____________1/6/2008_
C________________2____________1/7/2008__
C________________3____________1/8/2008_
D________________56___________1/6/2008_
D________________45___________1/7/2008_
D________________27___________1/8/2008__
I want to create a query like this: can calcualte the price change and % price change in certain period, and then sort in % change.
This result should be like the table below:
StockName Change in three days % Change in 03 days
C 1 50%
B 7 31.8%
A 2 20%
D -29 -51.78%
Thanks all,

I do not want the look up table for my combo box to sort the data so that the drop down will show the data the the order I enter it. The table automatically sorts the data even with the Remove Sort feature. I added another column with numbers and sorted it to put my data in order which works in the table but the drop down still sorts it alphabetically which I assume is because my number column is not the bound column.

Hey all I have a problem I would like to populate my forms with the data from another form, and I know one way of how to do this however, I would like to be able to sort my form data. Since I have filtered my data I only see user 3's reccords not all users on the one form, I would like to have the ability to sort the form by the most current date. Since I already have more forms done, i would like to keep it that way. The fields I have on my form are:
PIN, PERMIT NUM, DATE, PHONE, PHONEWORK, OWNER, AGENT, CONTRACTOR, DECSCRIPTION, WIDTH, LENGTH, CLASS, DATE ISS, PENDING, HEIGHT, COST, NOTES. . . IN that order! So what I would like to do is put them in order by the date recored ie DATE. so that the most recent date shows up not Actually now just looking at it i think it is sorted by PERMIT NUM, so is there a way to sort by two different things? as well or what? Thanks in advance

I have a form, which is based on a table. Usually I have forms open to new or last records, but in this case I need it to open sorted by reportnumber. I read up on the orderby property, which I tried on open without any luck. Any ideas, other than basing by forms on queries....

Hello
I have a form that is bound to a table called "date". Date has to fields "date_id" which is a numeric value and "date_description" which is the name of the month.
A secondary form is bound to a table called "Employees" which has fields regarding data about the emploees of a company (eg "surname", name" etc). I use these 2 formes together to select the month of year and show/edit the data of the employees. Everything work perfectly except one last thing. Is it possible that after I edit (or add) a record in the secondary form (table "employees") the secondaty form to be sorted by "surname"? How can I do such a thing? I would be grateful if you give me an example.
Thank you in advance

I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?

Closing a form with a large amount of records is slow after sorting the records, is there a way to avoid this.
Its slower to close after sorting than the the sum of the time to close the form and sort the records, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
Can anyone help?

I want to make an unbound form that has the functionality like the form found in access for reports wizard.
I want the user to be able to select the sort order dynamically for a report instead of a fixed sort order. But i'am unable to sort out my own problem :mad:
plz check out the functionality of this form by opening in your access.
When the first combo is empty all the other combo boxes are disabled.
Entering something in the top combo enables the combo below it.
If we delete something in the top combo when something is already existing in the combo beolw it, the values of the bottom combo boxes are shifted to the upeer combos and the lower combos are disabled.
i have also attached the picture for refference.

Hi all,
I have a simple 2-table database. the 'parent' table is tblProducts, and the 'child' table is tblDocuments. (one [products] to many [docouments] relationship)
My data entry is done using a 'documents' subform inside a 'products' parent form. The data entry works fine, except i would really like it if my products and documents would be listed in alphabetical order in their respective form/subform {makes it easier on the user, and saves me needing a find record button}. At the moment they seem to be ordered by the time in which they were added to the table. I guess Access is using the primary Key as the 'order by' parameter.
The thing that is infuriating me is that i have gone into my two tables and told access to sort the data by Product Name, and Document name in the respective tables. I can verify that this has worked by going to data view; lo and behold the data are listed in the order i specified.
Further I have gone into my form and sub form properties, into the Data...Order By property and have keyed in the name of the field i want to sort by (product name in the parent form, and document name in the sub form).
I have tried all combinations and permutations of the above processes but nothing seems to work.
It seems i am missing one crucial piece to the puzzle, as i haven't had much luck finding a solution on groups.google or anything else (maybe im using the wrong search terms). I am having this problem with all of my databases, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a button that opens a second form and shows filtered data based on the selection of a ComboBox from the initial form. That all works nicely, I now wish to sort the Data in the new form by [POID].
The code I'm using looks like this;
Private Sub Command5_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command5_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "FRM_AWMPonum"
stLinkCriteria = "[ClientID]=" & Me![Combo0] & " AND IsNull(DelDate)"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_Command5_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command5_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command5_Click
End Sub
What changes do I need to make to the code to sort the data?

I am trying to create a form where the user can select which group of data they want (records complete, records due, etc) and also how they want the report sorted (project name, due date, etc.)
I created an option group for the record selection part with a variable named myFilter being equal to the required filter (i.e. myFilter = "(([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now())")
I then created a combo box for the record sort part with a variable named myOrder being equal to the required sort (i.e. myOrder = " ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline")
Finally I created a variable named myCriteria which is equal to myFilter & myOrder. Then I try to open the report with DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , myCriteria.
Now, when I run the form and try to get the report, I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '((([Assessment Details].[Completion Date]) <= Now()) ORDER BY [Project Description].Deadline)'.
Is there any way to have the user be able to select the sort order and have it pass to the report?
Thanks in advance.

I have a text box called tboWorkstream on a form. I can scroll through the records using the navigation bar at the bottom. However, I want the records to be sorted by the Workstream Column, not the Workstream ID column (which is the primary key.)
Is there a way to do this?
I know you can list the way you want in a combo, but not sure how you do this in a bound textbox.
Thanks

I doubt this is possible, but I'll see if anyone out there knows how to do this...
so i have labor entries that consist of a laborID (the guy doing the labor) the serviceID (service being performed) and all the payment info (peripheral, not really important). what i would like to do is add a field, Area, that describes where on the house the labor is being performed, ie the roof, the master bedroom, the kitchen, etc...
is there any way to sort these using continuous forms (maybe 2 continuous forms?) kind of like in a report where it goes, for instance (ignore periods, for spacing only):
Area: Roof
.....Tearoff yadda yadda
.....Replace yadda yadda
Area: Kitchen
.....Redo electrical yadda yadda
.....Replace toaster etc etc
.....Fix plumbing etc etc
Area: Bathroom..... etc
thanks for any ideas...i know this is ridiculous, but i figured i'd give it a shot
