Ok baisically im doing a quick db for my company that is organising every file stored within the server and monitoring their last access'd, modified etc... I have a query which collates all the files which can be deleted on a server and file count is something alond the lines of 300K+ however i have also Sum'd the file sizes and instead of giving me some mental file size it has given me this result: 1.29659732507E+11
I mean i am no mathematician.. cant even spell it :S anyways im guessing that the number: 1.29659732507E+11 is actually 1.29659732507 to the power of 11?
Is there anyway i can get access to show the actual number i dnt care how long it is i just want a reliable, definitive result i can show my boss!
Would appreciate help on this. I have a query which combines the results of 3 queries. Once the underlying queries each has a result I get a result in my query, but if 1 of the underlying queries has no result I get nothing. (I hope this makes sense).
How can I set my query to show results even if the underlying query doesn't.
After searching through 18 pages of search results I have not found the answer. Would someone please tell me why this expression is not working in my query?
I am using a MS access mdb file to display some record from oracle database using odbc connection.I have a table (linked table) called map_detail in mdb as well as oracle with same table structure.I formed one query in mdb (sql query) select * from map_detail where batch_no="SSO15121".It is always fetching some other result, but when I am changing the query by changing the batch no "SSO15148" it is working fine. I noticed that for cases it working.
Hi. I have recently made a video database for a project, and have have come to a small problem. What I wanted to do was to, using a query search, find the total number of results found, in a form.
Basically, I have a query, in which I have the Film Name, Movie Cost e.t.c, with - Like ("*" & [Film Name], as the Expression (under Film Name).
When using the query, it retrieves results for what you have typed.
I use the query on a form "Film Search", which when clicked on Automatically brings up the Search Box. I also have another form "Films", which has a "Search Films" command button on it, run from a Macro. So basically everything works fine, but I when I search for a film, I want to have a text box, on the form, which has a count for the results.
For example, if I searched say "Shrek", and I got results for Shrek, Shrek 2and Shrek 3, the text box would say - " 3 results found".
This brings me to the conclusion of asking if I should do an expression, from the original query I am using, or to use Visual Basic, and more importantly - HOW?!?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and I am sorry in advance if one, I have not explained my problem well enough, and two, this is in the wrong section.
I have hit an odd bug with Access. I am creating a query that gathers several pieces of information across several tables linked by a key value (called OrderNo, in this case). This would be a relatively simple query, but each piece of data is an aggregate of some kind, and each aggregate is on different WHERE conditions.
This left me with two options, either two create a bunch of stored queries and join them together, or use inline subqueries. I went the inline subquery route.
I entered into Access a query of the form Code:SELECT <Fields> FROM WorkOrders, (<Subquery1>) AS <Subquery1Name>, (<Subquery2>) AS <Subquery2Name>, (<Subquery3>) AS <Subquery3Name>, <etc> WHERE <Conditions that select which lines out of WorkOrders are being looked at> ORDER BY OrderNo
Then I switched to design view and left joined WorkOrders to each of the remaining tables. Access modified the code as would be expected. The query runs at this point.
However, and here is the interesting bug, if I go to the SQL statement it created, and do anything Access registers as a change (even adding and deleting a single space of whitespace), Access decides that the result of it's own SQL generator is invalid code. It gives the error "Syntax Error in FROM clause".
I can provide the source query (in all it's overcomplicated massiveness) and the result after using Access to join the subqueries to the WorkOrders table if anyone cares enough to see/wants to try reproducing it.
I have an Access project that when it starts, lets you pick a folder and a file to open as input (done with VBA code), and that works beautifully. My project then processes the opened file and that works fine also. However, when I run the project a second time, pick another file (with the same format), my project then dies on me. If I get completely out of my project and thenre-enter it, it runs fine. I've enclosed a screenshot of the error I'm getting.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And yes, I did a search on this and several other forums as well as on Microsoft's site and could not find anything related to the error I'm getting.
Hello all. Hope someone can help. I want to know which of my customers received a particular service (service id: #199) during the last month. It gets complicated (I think) because of those customers that received service 199 last month, I want to know which ones did not receive any other services in the 90 days prior to receiving it. Any thoughts on how this can be done? I can find who received the service during the last month, but how do you check to make sure they have not received any others during the last 90 days? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, S.J.
I'm not looking for your expertise in "how to" do this (not yet, anyway) but a friend asked me if Access could do certain functions. Like "automatically fill-in some of the more routine letters/forms such as basic letters of representation, medical bill/record requests" (routine for his biz) and "basic calendaring functions, such as keeping track of monthly deadlines, reminders, and other important dates."
I figured that if so, the app would have to be running in order track deadlines and such.
So, are these things that are Access able functions?
i need to calculate time, the problem i have is that we are trying measure production over the day, however our days run from
22:00 through to 22:00 the following evening
i have tried to calculate it by taking the end time from away the start time, but when i tried to do this it gives the wrong figure
eg
DayCode - 3111 (This is just the code we use to represent each day) Line - C3 ( Machine identification) Start Time - 22:00 ( Time the Machine started) End Time - 18:00 (time the machine ends) Duration - 04:00 (the figure that is display when calculated in access)
the duration figure should be 20:00 hours
i have managed to get it to work upto a point with the following code
runtime: IIf([starttime]=[endtime] And [starttime]=#22:00:00#,#23:59:59#,IIf([starttime]>[endtime],(#23:59:59#-[starttime])+[endtime],[endtime]-[starttime]))
but
if the the two times are the same for example 22:00 on the first evening through til 22:00 the following evening, i should get a result of 24 hours but instead i get zero, so i was wondering if there is a work around to this problem, i also need the time to be displayed in full hours whereas the above code only dislpays it to the correct hour minus 1 second.
I am working with Access 2010, on vista. What I have is a query made up of two tables, one product the other inventory. (see below) query.jpg
In the product table i have a field called "minimum reorder level". In the inventory table i have two fields one called "number in stock" and "number on order". What i want to happen is "number on order" to be filtered by the result, if the "number in stock", is less than "minimum reorder level", if it is, have the result placed in the "number on order" field. EG. if the "number in stock" = 2 and the "minimum reorder level" = 5 then 3 would be placed in the field "number on order" and only the second record from the query would be visible (see below) Query result.jpg The result of this would mean that the field "number on order" would be populated with the result and the and query would also use this to filter the record.
I want to add a number to my results within a query depending on the month and how many results. For example I have 10 results in my query 3 from January, 5 from March and the rest from April. The 3 from January would be 1,2,3. The five in March would be 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. Is it possible to do?
I am trying to create a query that has a self referencing running total based on the values (point totals) of itself (running total of values in the running total column that have already been calculated for all previous records) plus the total of new points being added in the current record, less the total of points being removed in the current record. This running total can never go below 0, if it does, the running total should restart at zero and add in only new points and begin the process again with the next records
I am able to do this in Excel in less than two seconds so I know there has to be a way to port this into a query. I've attached an excel example of what I am exactly trying to do
If it takes multiple queries to complete the required output I am ok with it. In my previous outtakes I have had up to 8 queries but just couldn't seem to do it..
Hello everyone, Problem: I have an MS Access database in Frontpage that I'm using for my online site. Table is set up w/ a field named, "Artist" (amongst others). In this field I have artist's last name followed by a comma, a space, then the artist's first name. I am using the CONTAINS operator for my sql query statment. Everything works fine on the site if you search only by the first name, last name, or by typing in, exactly, the artist last name, comma, space, then the first name i.e. Presley, Elvis. However, if one were to type in "Elvis Presley", no records return. Why is this? I have also tried the LIKE operator and I get the same results. Here is the code where 45s is my table name and the others are just additional fields of which i have no problems:
SELECT * FROM 45s WHERE (Artist LIKE '%::Artist::%' OR Title LIKE '%::Title::%' OR Record_Label LIKE '%::Record_Label::%') ORDER BY Artist ASC
I'd appreciate any help as I've failed to get a solution from other forums and computer scientists that I've asked.
1) I am pretty newbie to this access programming, do forgive me if my questions sounds stupid.
2) Basically I create an application in access capturing or production information for my company. now the top management suddenly wanted whats their main concern:- Total Daily/Monthly, Quarterly, Annual Sales (By Model If possible)
3) I start with daily (Lets don't be too overly ambitious).
4) I try to let user select dates from my calender control and reflect daily sales (in Total & By Model break down) insert into my form.
5) Understand someone told me from my previous post in Calender control I can achieve it either through forms or queries, which is a better way. (in terms of flexibility to change for program maintenance/ scalibility) wise ?
This query is getting complicated for me... I need help please! :( I need it to give me the data for people between FirstMonth, Year and SecondMonth, Year... Right now it's giving me only the FirstMonth, Year and SecondMonth, Year... I think I need a between there somewhere but not sure where to put it...?? Hope this makes sense. I'm doing the query in Access 2002
Thanks Sarah

I have a query that uses "<>" to find records that are not equal between 2 tables. The formula looks like this:
<> [tblWorkPerformed]![ID]
It works fine as long as there is only one record in tblWorkPerformed, but once I add a second record I get the records I dont want plus the records I do. The records I do what are there twice. I found how to only get single records of each, but it still desplays the records it should not. I tried a dummy database, and it does the same thing. Do I have something wrong or is this just not possible.
I'm trying to construct a database to track church funds. I posted before and was given a link to a suitable schema but it was too comnplicated for me! Basically I need to track money given to a church through weekly transactions - money is given weekly through a numbered envelope. Each envelope has a number corresponding to the giver. I came up with this:
This doesn't really work. One giver can have only one FWO envelope but each envelope has many weeks/dates and I'm not sure how to link this. I want the form to have the week no and corresponding date already there so I just enter the amount. Then it has to be able to switch to a different year. Hope this is clear? Any suggestions?
I have a sub query that was working until a couple of days ago when it decided to stop.
I have a Table called TblFieldValues which whenever a new value is entered into my relational Db. Each new Value is given a ValueID and is Dated (full date/time stamp)
My Sub Query ensures that for each FieldID (ie if more than 1) it selects/shows the top most Date....But it is not grabbing all the fields for some reason???
Here is the SQL limiting criteria to a bare minimum (QuoteID) SELECT Main.FieldID, Main.QuoteID, Main.QuoteTypeID, Main.SubSection, Main.FieldValue, Main.NumberFieldValue, Main.CalcFieldValue, Main.Date, Main.ValueID FROM TblFieldValue AS Main WHERE (((Main.QuoteID)=[Forms]![FrmQuote]![QuoteID]) AND ((Main.ValueID) In (SELECT TOP 1 Sub.ValueID FROM TblFieldValue AS Sub WHERE Sub.FieldID=Main.FieldID ORDER BY Sub.Date DESC)));
I had a thought it might be the way the info is put into TblFieldValues, as it is often put in via Code, in fact only when it is put via code is it not showing up as a rule. So I had a look at the code that inserts it.
I had Now() in replace of strDate, but tried changing to strDate and diming strDate as Date and then setting strDate = Now() but doesn't really change it in the table.
I am certain it is in this somehow? Any ideas???? Your help will be greatly appreciated...
:o Okay. I have a frustrating one. This is embarassing to me, because it seems so easy. Anyways, I have a form, where a person could select up to 3 different months and up to 3 different paper types. These combo boxes are listed in the criteria of those fields in my query. If I use the form and try to run my query, it gives me blank results. If I run the query and fill in the pop ups that show up asking for the information that the form is referring to, and I type in the same information, I get the results I expected. What am I missing here? Please help before I go bald!!!
I have answered my own question so I thought I would share as I couldn't find the solution in any posts. I confess that I don't understand why my results were wrong, but I managed to get them right. :rolleyes:
When using Dcount in a query, I was getting results which did not match the query results. For instance:
Phase_2: DCount("Project_Phase_ID","tbl_Prj_Details","Project_Phase_ID = 2") gave an answer of 27 when there were in fact 41 projects in that phase.
Searching the forum I came accross this:
Count() always counts the entire domain.
So, Dcount is not counting the record set of my query but something else. I have 4 tables in the query and no idea what domain my dcount was looking at. I presume the various join types were messing with it somehow. :confused:
To get round this, I stripped out the Dcount expressions and changed the query to a make table. I then used the created table as the basis of a query in which I had my Dcounts. The dcount results now agree with the query recordset. :) :) :)
Any background on the bits I clearly don't understand will be gratefully received. I hope this helps someone else sometime.
I have a query that selects from a table base on 3 entries (Name, BeginDate and EndDate) and should show me 12 other columns and their entries... I have 9 entries for a particular Name, but when i run the query i get 15 results. Some are duplicated but others are not and I don't know where to begin narrrowing it down. Any ideas where to start?
