The Expression You Entered Has A Function Name That XXX Can't Find
May 23, 2006
I have a database functioning pretty well.
All I did was move the files from one computer to another via USB stick and now I get this alarm when I try to run this particular macro.
It is a macro to set a value to specific field.
The Macro uses a condition [Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Number]="000".
If the condition is met then it is supposed to set a value to a field in the same form.
[Forms]![tblCustomerCall]![Alarm Descrption] is the item to set.
Left("TV Parity Alarm",50) is the expression.
So if 000 is entered in then the text TV Parity Alarm is filled into the Alarm description field.
It was working perfect until I moved the files to another computer.
I have Office SP2 installed and have updated office with everything available.
I'm relavtively new to databases but after a steep learning curve (being left with many databases created by my old manager with no instructions on use) I'm getting there.What I am trying to do is pull out the date from records in a field called "Model_ID". The Model_ID field contains this kind of information:
Endscopy20120726JSmith GISurgery20120521JDoe
I want to bring back "20120726" or "20120521". In excel I can do this with the mid and find functions but find doesn't work in access. I've tried combining the mid function with instr function but it comes back as too complex!
Hi People, I am working on a database related application in which the user enters the data from the form and it is stored in 3 related tables in DB.
This is what I want to do,
If IsNull(Me.Q1_2005) = True Or Me.Q1_2005 = "" Then rs!January2005 = Me.Jan_05 rs!February2005 = Me.Feb_05 rs!March2005 = Me.Mar_05 If parametername = "time" then rs!Q12005 = DMax([Me.Jan_05], [Me.Feb_05], [Me.Mar-05]) else rs!Q12005 = DMin([Me.Jan_05], [Me.Feb_05], [Me.Mar-05]) End If
If user enters monthly data of Jan'05, Feb'05 and Mar'05, but he is not entering quarterly data of 2005 Q1. So I need to update Q1 data in that record, that has a condition. If the parameter name is time then I want maximum of the three month data assigned to Q1 record in DB table else I want minimum of those three text box values assigned to Q1 record in DB table.
Please help me with this kind of conditional statement.
I've got a Table with a string of data delimited by an "*". The first part of the string before the "*" can be variable in length, so if I use a LEFT expression to break apart the 2 parts of the string on each side of the "*", my results are incorrect. In MS Excel, I can use the following formula to solve the problem:
=LEFT(B6,(FIND("*",B6)))
You are just substituting the number of positions with a Find command that looks for the "*", and returns anything left of the "*". Unfortunately, the brilliant programmers at Microsoft, once again, don't have an Excel function in Access. how to recreate that functionality in a table in Access?
I am trying to run a query to print invoices that are 30, 60, and 90 days past due. What expression do I use to search for records that were purchased 30, 60, 90 days prior? I was able to find the expression to add time for the due date but was unable to find the expression to subtract time for my search. Thanks for any help!! Beck
I created a function and when I try to use it in my query I am getting the error message Undefined Function in Expression.
This is the function:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit
Function Next_Weekday(DateField As Date) As Date
If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 1 Then Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 1 Else If Next_Weekday((DateField)) = 7 Then Next_Weekday = (DateField) + 2 Else Next_Weekday End If
Im not very good with SQL so any help would be appreciated, I used:
SELECT (SELECT Count(*) FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) AS Bases, WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "D*" And ([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Not Like "DM*") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
(SELECT Count(*)FROM [tbl_stock/equipment]) As Monitors, WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "DM**") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0)),
Count(*) As Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment] WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].InternalID) Like "PR***") AND (([tbl_stock/equipment].Sold)=0));
and all Im getting is "Undefined function WHERE in Expression" and im stuck,
What im trying to do is get a count based upon the results of the Like query, and i dont know where im going wrong.
If i use:
SELECT
Count(*) AS Printers FROM [tbl_stock/equipment] WHERE ((([tbl_stock/equipment].[InternalID]) Like "PR***") And (([tbl_stock/equipment].[Sold])=0));
I get a count for that result, its just when i try and add multiple columns i get problems. Any Ideas???
I am building a form. In the form I have created a series of fields that successfully calculate the profit of a job. From [Profit] I am trying to configure a commission schedule which would be simple for me if the commissions were a set percentage. However there is a minimum involved and I am trying to use the IIf or Switch functions to distinguish between the values. I cannot seem to get it.
I am looking for the expression that would do this:
If the [Profit] is greater than 150, my field should calculate the amount x30% (.30). If less than 150 my field should show a value of $50.00.
I have tried many different variables in trying to write the expression but to no avail. Any advise/help would be greatly appreciated.
i am trying to executed q query which has a Nz function. this works fine when exceuted from access. but when i try to executed the same from Vb i get an exception
"Undefined function 'Nz' in expression"
can anyone point out why this is happening? and wts the solution?
Please, Please tell me where I'm going wrong. I have read up and looked at examples of concatenating multiple rows into one, but I receive the error message " Undefined function in 'Conc' expression when I try to run the query.
Below is the sql:
SELECT testconc.InvoiceNo, Conc([InvoiceNo],"CostCentre") AS CostCentre FROM testconc GROUP BY testconc.InvoiceNo;
I'm trying to help someone with some text functions in Access, and I have used the Replace function to strip out spaces in a postcode. I created a dummy database in Access 2003 but in 2000 format since she is still on Access 2000. However, she is getting the above message. Incidentally, I don't get the message when I run it in Access 2000.
She has checked her references and has no missing ones. She has:
Visual Basic for Applications Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library OLE Automation Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
I have attached the DB - I'd be really grateful if someone could try opening it in Access 2000 to see if they get the same error.
My boss recently moved a DB from one server location to another and now it is no longer working properly. Please bare with me, I am not very knowledgable of Access and am primarily an oopl coder. I am using Access 97 in an XP.
The database is comprised of 6 files: Service_Request.mde/mdb, Common_Code.mda/mdb/mde, and default.mde. Service_Request.mde/mdb both reference Common_Code.mde and default.mde.
Service_Request has a login screen when you first start it up caused (I assume) by a macro that makes the call: login("frm_requestlist"). A prompt appears where i can enter a user name and login but when I click ok it crashes about 1 minute later with the 'Undefined function 'BuildCustomerName' in expression' error. I can bypass the login with the Shift+F11 shortcut but all of the forms crash when I double click them.
The function 'BuildCustomerName' is located in Common_Code in the module 'Library'. However, I looked through the code in Service_Request and Common_Code and except for its definition, I cannot find a call to it anywhere. Service_Request does make calls to a few other functions in Common_Code, but I am unable to tell if they are working or not.
I have checked the references for Service_Request with a reference wizard and as far as I can tell they seem correct. It references both Common_Code and default in their current locations on the server. However, even if they were incorrect I cant figure out how to change them with my current resources.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as would tips on how to step code cause I havent been able to figure that out either.
We use Microsoft Access databases to enter test data and eventually generate reports.
On 1 computers i get the following error when opening the report:
"Function is not available in expressions in query expression 'Left(.....)"
I figured this is a reference problem so the next thing i did was to pinpoint what reference was causing this error.
It turns out it is the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library. Simply removing the reference and adding it again fixes it and allows you to open reports just fine.
The problem is though, this message comes back every now and then. Which is getting annoying and the person who is making the reports is about to throw his computer out of the window.
I now try to rework on an old project but when I try to run some queries I get an error message: Undefined function 'Date' in expression . The same happen for the Format function.Both are built in Access functions
Is there a function similar to the find function in excel which will return the starting postion of a charcter in a string and allow you to set the position for seaching IE I want to know at what postion the second ":" starts at in the following string
I want an example of choose function to write in expression builder in access 2007 ..
I have a size as 1/4,2/3,4/9 etc to be converted to ABC,DEF,GHI etc . i have nearly 40 entries so i think choose statement would do it .. moreover i cant find switch statement in expression builder .......
For example one could be to replace the text ..... or any other method to change the size to alphabetical grade.
I have a query that will be assisting me find pricing based upon quantity ranges of specific equipment for a given FY.
I'm no access expert, and I keep getting "You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression...as part of an aggregate function".
I have tried several things, but cannot seem to figure this one out.
The SQL of my query is as follows:
SELECT IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity]) Between 1 And 4,[04b Pricing Products]![01-04],IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+ Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity]) Between 5 And 10,[04b Pricing Products]![05-10], IIf(Nz(Sum([Current Orders]![Quantity]))+Nz([forms]![04c Test Query for ROM Support]![Quantity])
I am trying to add a find button to the form. But I keep getting an error saying "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost" I have a feeling it has something to do with the Event Procedure. Any thoughts?
I have someone using my database as an mde, using the 2003 runtime, on a computer that has XP with Office 2007 (including Access 2007). Eveything works fine, except they get error 3085 on a line of code that is running an Insert SQL statement.
What is weird is that the SQL statement does not include the nz function. It does include a simple UDF for rounding, but that UDF doesn't return an error.
I also have code that checks the references on startup, and none of them are coming up as missing or broken. I have also double checked each reference and they have the exact same version number of every reference (dao360.dll, mscomctl.ocx, etc.). So if it is a "diambiguation" issue, I don't know how to fix it, or even identify it.
The code runs on several other computers with various combinations of XP, Vista, Office 2003, and Office 2007 with no problems.
I am stumped. What else could cause this error? Even if you don't really know, but you have a vague idea, please post it because I can't even think of anything else to investigate at this point.:confused:
I have designed a data entry form in MS Access 2003. One function I find frustrating is when I want to find a particular record while using this entry form. If I use the Edit>Find facility, for instance, looking for someone with the last name "Jones", eg, I must page through all the Joneses in the database by using either the "Next" button or by pressing the "Enter" key. This works but if I pass by the Jones I am looking for, I have to go all the way back to the first record and then slowly repeat the above process to find the Jones record I was looking for in the first place. I am wondering if there is some VBA code somewhere that would pop up a table, for example, of all the Jones records in my database. Then I could simply click on the Jones' record of interest in this pop up table and go directly to this record in my data entry form.
I have a field (SNumber) which is a text field and contains records that have a number which sometimes also have 2 letters on the right. ( examples: 1, 2, 3CD, 5, 6 HD). I am using the Right function in a code I am writing.
If Right (SNumber, 2) = "CD" then .....rest of code here
I would like instead of stating actual letters to code "any 2 digits". Can this be done and what is the correct code for any digits in this instance?
