This Forum is a God Send and everyone is so helpful. Ghudson's Audit Trail code saved me many hours of hair pulling :) Anyone out there who may be able to help with my Audit Trail Query?
Anyway, I've been developing a database for the last 2 weeks (night & day it seems!) to track "bugs" found in the code we (not me) develop, suggestions & new requirements and just when I thought I'd got it cracked they came up with the next requirement they'd forgotten to mention!! :eek:
I need a super snazzy search function. The top half of the screen is a form with various combo boxes of which some or all of the values can be selected i.e reference no. author, between dates and a keywords field (a bit like the search page at the beginning of this forum!). On clicking the 'Select' button all the records that meet the input criteria appear in the bottom of the screen in a data sheet view (Ref No. Description & Date). The user can the Double Click on the record they wish to view and they will be taken to the full record in the DataEntry Form.
I'm sure this isn't as complicated as it seems to me at the moment but I am so stumped I don't even know when to start. I've been writing databases for years using the wizards within Access but only recently started to experiment with code. I would really appreciate any assistance forum members can give me but as I am new to these complications please provide 'idiot proof' answers so I can understand what I am doing. :)
Hello, guys. First of all, may all of you have a very cool New Year 2007!
In my MS Access database i have 2 tables: Table1 and Table2. These are related by means of the fields Field1 (Primary key of Table1) and Field2 (Secondary key of Table2). The relation is 1 to Many.
I pretend to count the rows from the Table2 with different Field2 values. Thus, the following query would be an ideal solution:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Field2) FROM Table2
Unfortunately, the DISTINCT clause is not admitted within COUNT parenthesis. So, what i came up with is:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 IN (SELECT DISTINCT Field2 FROM Table2)
It works, but it takes too long to run the main query, where i embedded several subqueries like the one above. Is there any other way to get the same result reducing the response time?
I will firstly give you the low down on the business that I am doing the database for. It is a Car Restoration Business, where we deal with vintage/classic/muscle cars and restore them to the former glory.
I do not know Microsoft Access very well, I have attached a file with what I think is a databae :) I could be wrong. The main function of this database is to search for suppliers for a specific car part for a specific car.
So if I want to find a doorhandle for a 1970 Ford Mustang, I need the suppliers pertaining to those criterias to come up.
I have got a serious problem with parameter searches. What I want are multiple field parameter searches in one query. I created a new query, and set the criteria to Like "*" & [...] & "*" for at least 5 fields. The problem now is, that the number of records get less the more parameter searches i create for different fields.
I tried to put the parameters into the "or" criteria but it still does not work!
please give me a hint.
Thank you!
John
PS please ask me when you did not understand my question.

I am brand new to Access/VB as of Thursday. I am an aspiring programmer still in college. My proficiencies are more to the c++/HTML side of things right now, but I am in dire need of some assistance. I was recently given a series of projects to determine if I am qualified for a particular job. I have completed them all but one. I am modifying an invoice form in Access. I have accomplished all but two of the tasks on this last project. I need to modify the invoice form so that whenever a payment amount is entered, the payment date box I created populates with that date. I know I'm really close to it, but I keep getting errors and the only thing populating the box is #Name?. I also need to open up the print/preview mode of the invoice report when I click the print button as opposed to the current form it opens up to print from right now. If anyone could offer any assistance/advice on anything...even a tutorial that might point me in the right direction that would be excellent. I have until Tuesday to figure this out =) Thanks a bunch in advance!
P.S. This is where I thought I needed to execute the update for the payment date since it is where the payment is entered. If this doesn't help at all then I apologize.
Private Sub I_Payment_Exit(Cancel As Integer) Me.I_Tax = NullToZero(Me.I_Subtotal * Me.I_TaxPerc) Me.I_Total = Me.I_Tax + NullToZero(Me.I_Subtotal) + NullToZero(Me.I_ShipChg) If Me.I_PaymentLock = True Then Else ' Me.I_Payment = Me.I_Total End If Me.I_Balance = Me.I_Total - NullToZero(Me.I_Payment) End Sub
I have a number of smaller queries that I want to join together to create a super query to display on a report. It works fine when I have a dozen queries joined, but as soon as I add any more, the query takes at least 10 minutes to run (although it eventually works). Is there a limit to the number of queries I can include in a query or is there some other underlying problem? NOTE : the smaller queries only contain half a dozen records with totals.
hi friends, i have tried had to connect sub type tabels (Saving, Checking, Loan... they have their own ids...) with super type (Account...it has account id...) on the condition of account_type (either "S","C" or "L") attribute in ACCOUNT entity. how to joint them??? with query or with expression?? i expect help from you.........please. ........thanks.
and i would like that if Text0 is "test.exe" i want to return "exe", however, with the above i am getting ".exe" ... can someone tell me what i am doing wrong please ?
I currently have a text box that is calculated off of 6 other text boxes. I want the one field that is calculated to update any time I change any of the other fields. I can do this by putting the same calculation in each ones afterupdate event. Below is one section of my code for the arithmetic, and I want to perform that code many times. Can I use a function to do this, and if so some help would be nice? thanks
In access, I'm trying to create a database to track material that has an expiration date of one year from the appointment letter date. I'm not sure what I need to do here. Here's what I have: I have a table that has fields for the individual (UNIT), the appointment letter date (Appointment Letter Date), and a True/False field (Out of Date) that I want to make True when the current date is greater than the (Appointment letter date + 365 days). Is this possible through Access tables and/or queries or will I have to incorporate VB? I am an extreme novice when it comes to expressions and query building in Access.
I have build a database which work perfectly on most computers. But one or two for the computer are error with the Left, Right and Date SQL function. Is it simplely miss for the install or it a problem with my code?
I have developed a MS Access database which uses several functions such as DateDiff and inStr. When I use these function on my machine the database runs fines and the values are calculated.
However the database I have developed is not for my computer and when run on this one computer produce some errors (The date function is mentioned). I believe this is some sort of security issue but I cannot be sure.
Both computers run the same version of Office. Does anyone have any ideas.

I need some help with a function inserted into a query.
I created a function to convert numbers into text. I then created a query to pull some fields from a table. the last field of the query, I inserted the function using the build feature. I was able to see the function in the list of custom functions for the query.
However, when I run the query I get an error message of undefined function - name-. Can I use my function there? or is there some other way to do so.
Hi Im trying to run two count functions on one column in sql (access 2003). I need to return two new column, pass and fail. something like this; select count(grade) as pass, where grade>=40 and select count (grade) as fail, where grade<= 39.
my table is student_ID, module and grade:
student_ID Module Grade 0012 history 59 0034 history 34 0045 maths 78 0031 maths 45 0046 spanish 66
I have looked and looked at this expression line and cannot find what is wrong.
Repaired: Sum(IIf(work!status=4 And work!code=11 And work![tin date] Between DateSerial(Year(date(forms![enterprise report card].[combo31])),Month(date(forms![enterprise report card].[combo31])),1) And DateSerial(Year(date(forms![enterprise report card].[combo31])),Month(date(forms![enterprise report card].[combo31]))+1,0),1,0))
This gives me an error "Expression entered has a function containing the wrong number of arguements"
However this one: Repaired: Sum(IIf(work!status=4 And work!code=11 And work![tin date] Between DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1) And DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date())+1,0),1,0)) works fine... The only difference is I inserted forms![enterprise report card].[combo31] inside of the Date() function.
I am doing some work on a loan calculator which I have done successfully in Excel. I now wish to do this with an Access form (A2K). Can anyone please confirm that the Financial Functions (ie CUMPRINC etc) that are available in Excel can be used in Access. The Access help menu calls them Worksheet Functions and I can't see any reference to the above function in this forum. I have entered it in a control and get a #name? error. I dont know if I have made a syntax error or that Access doesn't recognise it.The following is the formula I have used =CUMPrinc([rate]/[freq],[nper],[amount],1,[nper],0).
I have not had the same problems with the following formula =PPmt([rate]/[freq],1,[nper],[amount],0)
I`ve got a problem with access. I Have data in several columns like:
Date Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 1-1-01 12 10 11 9 2-1.01 14 7 16 11 etc. Now I would like to add two columns that determine the min and max value of a row. Like below:
Date Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Min_value Max_value 1-1-01 12 10 11 9 9 12 2-1.01 14 7 16 11 7 16
Is this possible with the standaard min function? or how else do i do this?
I need to find the latest of several date fields in a SINGLE record of a query. The Max function seems only to work for a single field across several records in a query. However the worksheet function Max suggests I can use it for in-record fields but it does not work in queries. It is called a Worksheet Function but what is an Access worksheet? I know what it is in Excel but not Access. Neither Help nor two thick reference books even mention worksheets.
