Text String From Form Query - Multiple Choices
Aug 12, 2012
Been a while since I put hands on access. Working with a very simple database.
Working with 1 table, 1 form, 1 query.
Query has several fields. Field of interest contains names of counties.
In query design view I can type, "CountyA" Or "CountyB" or "CountyC" in the criteria and the desired results are returned.
On form I've created a text box and an open report button. The report I'm trying to open uses the query as the data source. I reference the text box on the form as the criteria for the query as follows:
[Forms]![frm_LMIBasicReport]![txtCounties][Forms]![frm_LMIBasicReport]![txtCounties]
If I enter the the name of a single county into the form it executes perfectly. If I try to enter multiple counties it fails. This is true whether I just enter the county names or replicate the exact criteria string I use in the source query. For example
CountyA works and returns desired values for County A
CountyA Or CountyB or CountyC fails. The report opens but no records are returned
"CountyA" Or "CountyB" or "CountyC" = exactly how it is entered in the query if I'm not using the form opens report but no records are returned
How can I pass multiple values from a single text box to the query.

Hi All.
I currently have a query that runs a report. The "Project_Status" field of the query is decided from a combo (cboPS) that is on a form (frmReportManager). The user selects the status from the combo and clicks a button to run a report with that status. That is all OK.
What I would like is 4 tick boxes on the form with the 4 project Status (Ongoing, complete, invoiced and quote). The user would then choose the status types he would like in his report, not just the one type as in the combo.
How do I go about referencing the 4 text boxes for the status types, to the one field in the query (Project_Status).
I have tried using And and Or, but with no luck.
Czn anyone help?
Many Thanks.
Frank.

I have a database which keeps track of a trucking business. Each truck has a trailer number. I have no problem having a query prompt the user to enter a single trailer number to query on. What can I do when the customer needs to select more than one trailer number to query on?

I have a Table of Special instructions. Each type of a Yes or No Text Box. There are 13 items in this table along with the ID key.
Each Field has a Special Description. I used the Y/N format for ease of use for user input to simply select the applicable options.
However, I need the text description to display on the printed report, which is not the problem.
So i created a separate text box for each item that simply says; If True, "Description", else blank. And named each one sp1...sp14.
So now, I want to take these text boxes with the proper descriptions and string them together.
My formula is: =Trim([sp1])&" "&([sp2]) etc.
This does produce the proper text results, however, and oddly enough, each item displays on its own line rather than in a string.
I get:
SP1
SP1
Instead of the desired result of SP1 SP2
This seems to simple, and probably has to do with the yes/no format. I've tried with and without (), and using + instead of &, and to troubleshoot, I eliminated the " ". No luck. Everything is coming back as a single column.

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If

Hey guys-
I have 2 tables- and need to find the record matches between them via their product code. Table 1 has the code as follows (and is considered 'the Master List')-
xxx-xx-xxx Where x is an integer.
Table 2 has split the 3 sections of the code out to 3 individual fields, like this-
Field1 Field2 Field3
xxx xx xxx
I need a query that will combine the 3 fields in table 2 to the same format as Table1 so that I can find the matches between them. I know this is a basic question, but I'm a learning newbie. How would I write that in a query? I don't think I want to write the format to the table- just include it in the query somehow...
Thanks!

I have a multi-select list box that runs a "For intCounter" and builds a sting into a text box. That works fine the text box will populate as designed <"Closed" OR "On-Going">.
(I know that I should be dynamically creating the query in the first place ... normally I would ... but this is a quick fix that I want to get it into an existing application, while the redesign requirements are being written.)
Now I want to pass that string to a pre-existing query, but I'm not sure what to write in the criteria section.
I've tried...
Like "*" & [Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList] & "*"
IIf([Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList]="","",[Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList])
and just plain old ...
[Forms]![ViewReports]![TextPickList]
but my query is coming up blank. What do I need to write into the criteria section of this saved query?
thanks in advance!

For whatever reason when I try to add up two columns in a query instead of adding up the two numbers it displays it as a text string. So if one column has a 5 and the other is a 2 I am looking for the calculated column to reflect 7, currently it is showing 5,2.
I have added up items in the past so I am unsure what the problem is
should be [rev bid amount 1]+[rev bid amount 2].

From a dropdown field in the form it's currently possible to choose a geographical region for which to generate a report. The data populating this dropdown is pulled in from a Value List as follows:
" ";"*";1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;EU;WD
I now need the ability to choose various different regions simultaneously which is not possible with the current method. I've looked into a nested continuous form and a multi-select combo box or list box, but none of these are as user friendly as my preferred method.
What I would like is 15 checkboxes plus a 16th to select/unselect all. When any of these checkboxes is checked, I need to create something like a dynamic value string or temporary table to hold the list of chosen regions until the generate button is clicked at which point the data is used to generate the report and cleared. I also need a piece of code to check/uncheck all the boxes.

OK, this has to be simple, I know...But I cannot figure it out.
I have a parameter query that works great, however, it has become complicated to remember all the values the field can have and so sometimes it is difficult to find the info needed. How can I do it so that instead of having an empty box pop up when the query needs my parameters, I get a list of possible choices??
Appreciate the help

While processing string manipulation on a table (140K records, 200-250 MB) the file has corrupted, and I lost all vba Modules, but the data and other DB objects seemed to be in tact.
I now have a query with a text field, when I make a simple join SELECT, the text comes in fine (and, of course, seems fine when presented in table), but when Group by - I get Gibarish: "CARVEDILOL 6.25MG, TABLETS"
Is presented in Group by as: "砅5"
I have recreated the file, importing queries, including this one, but then recreated it as a totally new query, but get that same results.
File Corruption? anything to do about it?

The queries go like this at present :
SELECT TOP 1 [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer] AS CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table]
GROUP BY [Table].[QuestionText], [Table].[Answer], rnd([IDQuestion])
ORDER BY rnd([IDQuestion]);
SELECT TOP 3 Table.Answer AS Correct, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.QuestionText, qQuestionTextAndAnswer.CorrectAnswer
FROM [Table], qQuestionTextAndAnswer
WHERE (((Table.Answer)<>[qQuestionTextAndAnswer].[CorrectAnswer]))
ORDER BY Rnd([IDQuestion]);
These queries are displayed now in an Access form "frmQuestions" which is applied to "Table" that has three columns id, text , and answer. The result is one question and four suggested answer with one only being correct.The arrangement of the answers is randomized--
but the choice of the question is not realy random....it always starts with the same question as it relies only on rnd.
can I improve the queries and randomize and rnd in the same ...or else can I switch these queries to be used from vb6 code and achieve that result.
any help would be appreciated.
By the way I am really a beginner at this who is seeking help from the experts.

I'm using Access 2007.
So far I have a Multi Select enabled list on which the user selects the serial numbers they want. They then click the "Report" button which will trigger a query based on the selected serial numbers to create a report on those serial numbers.
I have the code for the multi-select list working already. It creates a string of comma separated values that are the serial numbers which are selected in the list. Somehow I need to pass this string to my query so it can use it as a filter.
Here is some of my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
[Code] ....
Here's my current query in SQL:
Then finally how to I get the query to execute and create a report based on all of this?

Hello everyone,
Simply put, I want to create a form to which I can enter a raw SQL statement (such as: SELECT * FROM contacts without having to create a new Access query.
The way i have tried to do this is by creating a form which uses an onclick function to pass the string variable (the query statement) to a sencond form and have the second form run the statement. I can pass the variable ok but I cant figure out how to the use the variable string in the second form to execute as the "Record Source" of the form.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Curveo

I've created a function to search for a string in SQL definitions:
Public Sub SearchInQueryDefs(strSearch As String)
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim qdfs As QueryDefs
Dim blnFound As Boolean
Set qdfs = CurrentDb.QueryDefs
For Each qdf In qdfs
blnFound = InStr(1, qdf.SQL, strSearch) > 0
If blnFound Then
Debug.Print "Searching : " & qdf.Name & "...";
Debug.Print " - found"
If vbNo = MsgBox("Found!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "" & strSearch & " found in "
& qdf.Name & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & qdf.SQL & "" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Click 'Yeah' to
continue search, 'Duh' to stop", vbExclamation + vbYesNo, "SearchInQueryDefs") Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Next qdf
MsgBox "Done searching.", vbInformation, GetAppTitle()
End Sub
Using the following statement (in the immediate window) i get the following result:
SearchInQueryDefs "Queries"
Searching : ~sq_cfrmReports~sq_clstQueries... - found
However query "~sq_cfrmReports~sq_clstQueries" doesn't exist.
It is probably a query which populates the listbox "lstQueries" in the "frmReports"
form. But that form doesn't exist in my database. I have deleted it some time ago. I
thought that Compact and Repair got rid of stuff like this.
I found the definition in the MsysObjects and with this Id also in the MsysQueries.
So my question is obvious: what is this, why is this and what can i do about it?
Thx!

Hey Guys,
I've got a field called [WordLink] on a form where the user enters the file name of the Word or Excel document asociated with the record.
I have a button that opens Word or Excel and then opens the file...not a problem there as I'm using the Call Shell("""C:Program Files command and that works just fine.
However, I need the button to look to see if it's got ".doc" or ".xls" within the text string in the field so it knows whether to open Word or Excel.
I've tried something basic to launch something like a msgbox (see code below) but obviously it doesn't work. How do I look within a text string for a value?
Cheers,
Russ
:D
If Me.WordLink_filename.Value = "*.doc" Then
MsgBox "This is a word file."
Else
End If

What is the VBA code for this:
VariableName = Select Table1.Field2 From Table1 Where Table1.Field1 = "TextValue"
I would like to set the VariableName to the value of field2 where field1 is equal to a text string.
Thank you for taking the time to review and answer this for me.

I have created a report that has string text from a query I created. The query, with the string text, take the information from a table. When I run the report the string text gets cut off (The box is big enough to hold the information). The table I have is a linked table to a text file that gets imported from a program. I try creating the same table but not having it linked and the string text worked.
Is there some way I can get around this? Is there something in the linked table that is stoping the string text?

Can anyone help?
Have searched the net with no luck. This is my problem.
I am trying to use a multiple INSERT string to create records in a table, from a VB application and using ADO to do it.
If I send the single INSERT it works fine, but if I try to send more than one in the same string I get a 'MISSING SEMI COLON AT END OF STATEMENT' error.
I have tried putting one at the end of each statement, then just at the end of the INSERT statements string, but still get this error.
Can Access actually handle more than one SQL instruction at a time?
Thanks for any help.

First of all I'm not very good with VB. What I'm trying to do is get all my customers email addresses in one text string. So it would go like 123@aol.com; bob@yahoo.com; fred@hotmail.com; and etc. My customer could then copy it and paste it in her TO: box of her email server. Any help would be great.

I have a text field with receipt numbers in the format 0001-00000### and I would like my data entry form to default the max existing value + 1.
If max value is 0001-00000201, then the new record should suggest 0001-00000202.
The problem is that if I use the "max" function, it does not work (I think because that function is intended for numbers, not text strings).
Table: RECEIPTS
Field: receiptnum
I also have a query with just one field that lists only the receiptnum unique values so that I can use them in comboboxes in other forms... it may be useful I guess...
Query: unique-receiptnum
Field name: receiptnum

I am trying to improve a work process using an existing Access DB.We have a form with multiple texts boxes on it. I need to search through these boxes to determine the total number of occurrences of a specific value. This is not tied to a table.
The text boxes I'd be searching through all have related names: "Element0" to "Element40". And I'd most likely be looking for a "/" within the value in the boxes (value could be 12345/01, for example).Would then be using the result in VBA to apply some conditions, so I would prefer if I could do the count in VBA (the count/sum is the part that is hanging me up.)
I've found multiple ways to accomplish this from a table, but nothing for what I have to work with.I am unclear in my description of what I am trying to do, let me know and I will try to provide more information.
