Syntax Problem With Dates
Jan 19, 2006
Hi,
This is something simple, and I think it is my syntax that is wrong
I am building a holiday database that will be used for more than 1 year and want to produce reports only for the current Holiday year.
My method of doing this is to have a table that contains ALL holiday data and use a make table query to produce the current holiday years data for the reports to be diven from.
The problem is I want to be able to allow users to change the current year by updating 2 fields in a table with only 1 record - so have used:
Between ([Tbl_Holiday_Year]![Holiday_Year_ Start_Date]) And ([Tbl_Holiday_Year]![Holiday_ Year_Finish_Date])
as the select criteria for the query to filter only this year holidays, now the problem - when the query is run I get pop ups asking to input the start and finish dates instead reading the dates from the table, if I replace with actual dates in the criteria it does what I want it to.
I need it this way as I don't want users having to amend queries for each new holiday year.
Any ideas???

Hi all,
I have a table with some records:
Name, Date (Day/Month/Year)
John, 09/09/2005
Phil, 10/09/2005
Xena, 03/11/2004
I want my query to display all records with today's date, or those that are 100 days older than today's date.
I have the following so far (in my query criteria box):
Date() Or <Date()-100
BUT this shows me Xena's record, which is more than 100 days old (it's 2004)
Any help/corrections are welcome
Thanks

My issue is that I am trying to update a date field. When I do the date field may have a date or may be a null. When I try to pass in a NULL date with no quotes, I get a syntax error. When I have single quotes in the statement and a null value is passed in, I get an invalid use of date.
Dim DENIEDDATE1 As Date
If (Not IsDate(rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE"))) Then
DENIEDDATE1 = Null
Else
DENIEDDATE1 = "'" & rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE") & "'"
End If
update table1 set table1.denieddate = " & denieddate1 & " 'get Update syntax error with this statement
update table1 set table1.denieddate = '" & denieddate1 & "' 'fails due to invalid use of null

Any way to have a form with Dates as column headers to update a table where the dates are stored in rows???
The table set up is like this:
tblOpHdr
DiaryID (PK) - OpDate (Date)
tblOpDetail
DiaryID (FK) - CostCode - MachineNumber - MachineHours - etc
I'm just wondering if there's any way I can do this with a datasheet or a crosstab type setup?
It's Access 2010.

I have built a query to calculate the expiry dates of training courses but I am trying to input a criteria so that only dates within 90 days of todays date show. I am using Date()<90 but it doesn't return the correct information. What the criteria should be for this?

I have a table of records, which has within it two date fields (effectively, a 'start' and 'end' date for that particular record)
I now need to create a query to perform a calculation for each date between the 'start' date and the 'end' date
So the first step (as I see it anyway) is to try to create a query which will give me each date between the two reference dates, in the hope that I can then JOIN that onto another query to perform the necessary calculation for each of the returned dates.
Is there a way to do this?
So basically, if for a particular record, the 'start' date is 01-Apr-2015 and the 'end' date is 09-Apr-2015, can I produce a dataset of 9 records as follows :01-Apr-2015
02-Apr-2015
03-Apr-2015
04-Apr-2015
05-Apr-2015
06-Apr-2015
07-Apr-2015
08-Apr-2015
09-Apr-2015
(The *obvious* solution would be to create a separate table of dates, from which I could just SELECT DISTINCT <Date> Between #04/01/2015# And #04/09/2015# - but that seems like a dreadful waste of space, if that table is only required to generate the above? And it would have to cover all possible options; so it would either have to be massive, and contain every possible date - ever! - or maintained, adding new dates as necessary when they are required. Seems horribly inefficient!)
Is it possible to just select each date between the two reference dates? Or can you only query something which exists somewhere in a table?

Hiya-
I have a database with 5000 entries, corresponding to about 10 entries for about 500 people. Each of the entries is dated, and I need to calculate the time intervals between each person's sequential entries in the table.
One way of doing this is to create another column that contains the date of the previous entry. I can then use DateDiff to subtract one date from the other and give me the difference in days.
This approach falls down if I then work with only a subset of the entries - I would have to re-enter the previous entry dates as the time intervals would have changed.
What I really need is a way of subtracting the date from the date in the cell directly above it. Will Access let me do this, or is there a better way?
Many thanks, Jules.

I have two tables with dates. Between (!) every two following dates in table1, I want to know the number of dates in table2. How do I write an SQL query for this? The tables I have are up to a few hundred records in table 1 and a few thousand records in table2. So to prevent that this takes hours I need a fast query.
To explain the query I need, for example:
table1
01/01/2014
15/01/2014
17/01/2014
30/01/2014
table2
01/01/2014
02/01/2014
05/01/2014
17/01/2014
18/01/2014
20/01/2014
21/01/2014
25/01/2014
So the answer of the query would be 2,0,4.
Explanation:
Between 01/01/2014 and 15/01/2014 in table 1 there are 2 dates in table2 (01/01/2014 is not included between the dates)
Between 15/01/2014 and 17/01/2014 in table 1 there are 0 dates in table 2
Between 17/01/2014 and 30/01/2014 in table 1 there are 4 dates in table 2

I have a master table which shows all transactions per record (person) over a financial year.
Each record person has a seperate package period over which their spend needs to be measured. Therefore although I have all their transactions for the year, I only want to sum their transactions between their given [start date] and [end date] which are in columns.
I need to be able to create a field which sums all expenditure per record between the start and end dates
Name Start Date End Date Invoice Date Amount
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 1/11/11 £100
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 7/7/11 £200
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 12/12/11 £200
In this case I would only want to sum 7/7/11 as this is between the start and end dates
I want to write something like sumif([Invoice Date] is between [start date] and [end date] - not sure where or how exactly
(The start date and end date will always be the same per person)
Is this possible in access?

Hi,
Please bear with me here as it's a little involved.
I'm doing a staff profile website which includes a section where they can enter their annual/other leave details.
I decided to store their leave in two fields Start_Date | End_Date rather than each individual date that they took - the short and wide approach vs long and narrow.
This has left me needing to do a query that would return all the dates between the start and end dates inclusive.
Example:
StaffID---Start_Date---End_Date
---1-----12/12/2004--14/12/2004
Returns:
StaffID---Leave_Dates
--1-------12/12/2004
--1-------13/12/2004
--1-------14/12/2004
I appreciate i could do this using some script to loop through a recordset and build an array of dates but i wondered/hoped that it could be done using SQL.
As it is an asp page i can't use user defined functions in a VBA module in Access so the solution would need to be pure SQL.
Is this possible?
Any help v.much appreciated.

I have a scenario where the first three rows of date which have dates of 4/1, 4/4/ 4/6 with ndc 5513026701; next six rows that have dates from 4/8 to 4/20 with ndc 5513014801; next three rows that have dates from 4/25, 4/27, 4/29 with ndc 5513026701.
The issue I am having is I do not know how to have separate min/max dates for ndc 5513026701 since when I group by ndc 5513026701 min = 4/1 ; max = 4/29. I need to have min = 4/1 and max = 4/6 for one row and another row of min = 4/25 and max = 4/29.
Any easy way to sequentially create min/max for each ndc 5513026701? I wasn't sure how to verbalize this so I have attached a sample worksheet.....

I'm not sure if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have a text field in each record in my database (Inherited) The db has nearly 5,000 records. I would like to split the field into records in a seperate table. An Example of the table as is now;
Code:
MemberIDBoats
5882Opossum(78-80) (87-89) Otter(80-84) Opportune(91-93) Turbulent(97-00).
5883Astute Auriga Aeneas Affray Amphion
2407H34 O10 Porpoise Trenchant Tapir.
I want to create a table as follows;
Code:
MemberIDBoatFromTo
5882Oppossum19781980
5882Oppossum19871989
5882Otter 19801984
5882Opportune19911993
5882Turbulent19972000
5883Astute
5883Auriga
5883Aeneas
5883Affray
5883Amphion
Etc.
Is this possible in one hit or do I need to process the records without dates first and then run another process to split those with Dates? I say dates but the field is a text field. About 15-20% of the records contain dates which are always enclosed in parenthesis.

Hi there
I'm trying to write a query using an IIF statement in the "Field" property of the Access Query Design Grid the new Column is called F:
there are 3 Columns, System, Etot, Itot in a mytable
Basically in English the query goes,
IF mytable.[System] = 700,
mytable.[Etot] = 0,
mytable.[Itot] = 0
then the newly created derived column
mytable.[F] "N/A"
OTHERWISE
mytable.[F] "OK"
I hope someone understands,

Hi,
I wud like to know why this syntax is not working.
select * from table_name where col_val like 'a%'
This returns the column values that start with 'a'. I was getting the result properly few days ago. But now suddenly this query doesnot give the result. When i tried this out in a website it was working there, but not in access.
Can anybody see what is wrong in this syntax? If the syntax is right where wud be the fault?

Can someone tell me how to insert the contents of a variable into a table?
I am trying to add selected items from a listbox (Members) into a temporary table (tempMembers). The code is below. On debugging, it picks up the contents of the variable (iMemberID) OK, but adds "0" to the temp table (both are integers). I'm pretty sure the problem is in the Insert statement below (stSQL3), but I can't figure out how to write it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
stSQL3 = "INSERT INTO tempMembers (MemberID) VALUES & iMemberID & ;"
For Each varItm In Me!Members.ItemsSelected
iMemberID = ctl.ItemData(varItm)
DoCmd.RunSQL stSQL3
Next varItm

Can someone help me on the syntax for the following?
I have two tables: one is TapeNumber and has one field (Tape_No) autonumbered PK. The other table has information about the video and uses the Tape_No as a secondary key.
I have a form to add information about videos. I have the form bound to the first table, so it adds a new TapeNumber when I add a record. I have a subform displaying the video information for that tape (there may be several videos recorded on one tape).
When I add a new tape (or video to an existing tape), how do I save the tape number to the second table?
Thanks!

I am trying to open a PDF from Access. I get it to work but it requires me to hard code the path and fiel name....
The path will always be the same although the file name will change. RIght now I get the fiel name from a textbox on a form...I am trying to change the below working code with a varaible instead of the path....I think there is some systax issues that I cannto fingure out
TotPath is the variable that holds the entire path to the file "X:Map_LibraryPark_and_Rec_AsbuiltPRA_19_73-01_W0.pdf"
This variable is rebuilt everytime the user selects something on the form....so the actual File name will change every time...
Does anyone have and ideas as to how to incorporate a variable instead of the hard coded path?
THank you all for your help.....

I'm familiar with SQL but not with Access97 - some wierd syntax here!
I'm creating a Query that is to Delete records from a table depending on a non-key field in a second table.
I first tried an INNER JOIN
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences INNER JOIN Activity_Key
Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
which was initially accepted but then complained about the INNER JOIN after I went in a second time to 'fix' the error.
I've finally got the following syntax accepted:-
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences, Activity_Key
WHERE Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
But when executed still gets the following error (same as for the INNER JOIN):-
'Operation must use an updatable query'.
What else is needed?

On my form I have 2 radio buttons rdoAll and rdoSpecific. If rdoAll is true then it prints a report. THis part works fine. However if rdoSpecific is true then I make visable combo box to look up an ID. Then when I click the button I want the same form to open but with just the info pertaining to the ID selected. Here is my code:
Private Sub cmdLotHistory_Click()
Dim stDocName As String, stSelection As String
stDocName = "rptLotHistory"
If Me.rdoAll = True Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLotHistory", acViewPreview
End If
If Me.cboLotLU.Value > 0 Then
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection
End Sub
When I choose the ID and click the button I get the message
Run-Time error '3075':
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(LotID
=020806B1585)'.
the 020806B1585 is my ID number.
Debug hightlights the
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection
but I'm guessing my real problem lies in the
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

I am using the folling code in a after update combobox event:

Dim sqlwhere As String
sqlwhere = " "
If IsNull(Me.comboSearchSerial) = False Then
sqlwhere = "SerialNumber='" & Me.comboSearchSerial & "' and "
End If
mysql = "SELECT TBL_RMA.* from [TBL_RMA] Where "
mysql = mysql & sqlwhere
mysql = mysql & ";"
Forms!FRM_RMA.RecordSource = mysql
Exit_comboSearchSerial_AfterUpdate:
This is currently working for me with SerialNumber being a text field. I would like to use the same code substituting SerialNumber with a Date field. I know its probly an issue with the use of quotes, but I can't seem to figure it out. Also, if I wanted to use a number format, what would I use...
Thanks
