"Too Few Parameters. Expected..." - Parameter Query Issue
May 8, 2007
Hi All,
I am having an issue with a parameter query, let me try and explain...
I have a table (tblsitelogs) which contains records with dates on. I want to be able to query between 2 dates (from a form which the user specifies), and then export the data from the query, to an excel spreadsheet.
I browsed earlier and found this code to help me export the query to excel: http://www.databasejournal.com/features/msaccess/article.php/3563671. I am experienced in VB (although reletively new to Access), so I have adopted the code and tested it, and it works fine when run by itself.
Here is the query (qryReport)..
"SELECT tblSiteLog.ExchangeCode, tblSiteLog.ExchangeName, tblJobDetails.Phase, tblSiteLog.JobType, tblSiteLog.JobItem, tblSiteLog.Engineer, tblSiteLog.LogEntryDate, tblSiteLog.Result, tblSiteLog.EntryDetails, tblSiteLog.EnteredBy" & _
" FROM tblJobDetails INNER JOIN tblSiteLog ON tblJobDetails.JobID = tblSiteLog.JobID" & _
" WHERE (((tblSiteLog.LogEntryDate) Between " & txtStartDate & " And " & txtEndDate & "));"
When I then run this code
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("qryReport", dbOpenSnapshot)
I get an error on the bottom line, I get the error:
"Too few parameters. Expected 2".
I have researched and this appears to be an almost normal issue because of the query being a parameter-based query.
I've tried typing in the query in SQL, into VB and then running that instead, but it doesn't seem to filter, it will just display all results.
Feel free to ask more questions into this, I am probably only touching the surface of the problem here. Any help greatly appreciated!
I am using Access to run my database. I am using Coldfusion to power the website. What I need to do is be able to update some fields. The problems first start in the select query, however.
There are two different forms. One that is a select box that has the options of "Buyers", "Sellers", "Newsletter". Onchange the select box (named "page"). When I submit that box it needs to populate a second box. That box is populated with the information found in the table that is selected in the first box.
Here is the query that it is using to get the information to populate:
SELECT RE.Information, RE.Page FROM RE WHERE (((RE.Page)="#form.page#"));
Does anyone see a problem?
Here's the result:
] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
The error occurred in D:Inetpubaheart4homeadmineditpages.cfm: line 10
8 : SELECT RE.Information, RE.Page 9 : FROM RE 10 : WHERE (((RE.Page)="#form.page#")); 11 : </cfquery> 12 : </cfif>
Hi All,I am getting problem "Error: too few parameters. Expected 1" when following Query is executed to updated a Flag Value in a table on Click event of a Submit button. CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE Scheduled_Appointment SET Is_Taken = 1 WHERE Scheduled_Appointment_ID LIKE Me.Sch_P_ID"Where:Table: Scheduled_AppointmentColumn: Scheduled_Appointment_ID [Primary Key]Column: Is_Taken [ColumnType = Number ]Text Field: Me.Sch_P_ID [contains the Scheduled_Appointment_ID value for the selected Record on the Form]Thanks in Advance.

What does it mean? it doesn't say where i have a problem in my code. What do you think?
I realise this issue is a common one and it is usually down to simple typos (I've looked at several similar posts) but none of the advice I've seen has solved my problem. I've designed the following Union Query:
SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 1]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 2]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 3];
It should be very simple and I've checked it over and over, but when I run the query an Enter Parameter dialog appears prompting me to enter Email.
If I just click OK I get all the records but with the email field blank.
Similarly if I type x@y.com it returns all records but with the email fields all containing x@y.com
Advice would be very much appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
running access 2000. I have a query that I selected to return the Top 1 record sorted descending on the date so it would pick the most recent entry. I did it by selecting Top 5 from the drop down box in query design mode and then changed the 5 to a 1 using SQL View from qry design.
SELECT TOP 1 Class.CourseID, User.UserName, Class.TrainerID, Class.ClassLocationID, Class.ElapsedTime, Class.ClassDate, Class.Comments FROM [User] INNER JOIN Class ON User.UserID = Class.UserID ORDER BY Class.ClassDate DESC;
It still gives me as many records as are entered on the system. How can I get JUST the most recent record entry?
O.k. I have a query working, and it's calculating perfectly and I'm reporting on it fine. However I noticed that when I run the query it doesn't populate the equation for all the results. Let me explain further.
I have a main form for tracking company information, and a sub form that tracks departments for that company and waste breakdown information. We take measurements for the company in two ways. 1 - a total weight for the day, and 2 - we weigh out categories of waste (within the sub form that tracks the department stuff)..we then calculate what percentage of the daily waste a specific category is. This calculation is done in a query, and works fine for the first department of every company, however when it moves to the next department for the same company, all I get is #Error in the field. eg./
Company "X" Total Daily Weight = 750 Kilograms Department "Shipping" Category - Plastic Bottles - 20 Kilograms
I then have a query that calculates what % 20 Kilograms is of 750, then a report based on the query. This works fine; However in my report I look at the next department, with the exact same informaton as above...I see #Error returned in the field.:confused:
Does all of that make sense?? Is there a way to make sure my query calculation flows through all of the departments??
I'm running a query from two related tables in the database.the table relationships and the query design. Instead of doing what I want it to do/what I think I'm asking it to - which is show the sum total number of weeks on the program for each student - it shows me the number of weeks for that student just for that claim, not the total for the student overall. I've added some 'dummy data' (2 records in the claim table relating to 1 student), and the query then returns the student twice in the results.
I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.
I have tried to display a message asking if you are sure you want to change data when you enter a field that already contains data. This is via a combo box.
Even when the entry is new, the message comes up. I have tried using OnDirty, OnChange, and AfterUpdate, but I always get the message on new input. Any suggestions?
If the user enters something for 2 or more parameters it seems to work, but if they just enter a county, for example,, it gives an error message about the expression being too complex.
I have a error I need help with. Here is my code for my Global, and My Form Current: See the red for the Error Line, that show up in the VBE and the Blue is the code related to that line. I am using access 2003

A lady at work created an Access database that imports a dBase 5 file and when I go to import this file on User #1 PC it gives the error;
"External table is not in the expected format."
I can use the same Access database and same dBase file to import (stored on a shared network drive) from User #2 & #3's PC's and all works well. The only problem is that it is User #1 job to do this.
I unloaded Access 2003 and reloaded it and still the same results. All 3 PC's are identical via hardware and software.
It use to work until this past Tuesday when it started to give the error.
My steps are: open the "Sales" Access database select the prices table Get External Data / Import and then select Prices.dbf Then the error message comes up.
I am not an Access database guy and could use some help!
Not even sure where to start so if this isn't a query question, please point me in the right direction.
I work in a plant that has a number of cranes. Each crane should be inspected each shift (three shifts per day), each day (less Sunday).
I have exactly what I need to capture the inspections being done. Inspections are identified by crane #, shift, and date.
How do I determine if an inspection hasn't been done? How do I compare the inspections that have been entered against the standard of inspections for each crane, each shift, each day?
I am below average with Access on my best day so please type slowly and be specific. Thanks for any help you can give.
I have this code of a command button, which would allow me to generate the result of the SQL. I think the code is wrong... Can someone help? I guess something wrong with the bracket...
Indeed, I try to modify the SQL that works in a test query (as I want to know what went wrong with my code): the changes would be replace OR to a toggle option.

In my Access Database I have a query (lets say qry1) and in this query i have 2 fields for start and end date, which is provided by 2 Get functions.
also i have qry2 based on qry1 then qry3 based on qry2 and finally qry4(using sql in code) based on qry3, and non of these 3 queries have the start and end date fields.
now here is the problem: I am trying to set the criteria in qry4 and then open a record set on this query(qry4) to use the data that it pulls out...
strsql = "" strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _ & "FROM qry3 " _ & "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset(strsql)
but when the last line is executed I get this error message:
Runtime Error '3061': Too few parameters, expected 2.
i also tried doing this:
strsql = "" strsql = "SELECT Sum AS AREA_TOTAL " _ & "FROM qry3 " _ & "WHERE ENERGY_AREA like '" & Area & "';"
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
MyDB.QueryDefs("qry4").sql = strsql
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("qry4")
but when the last line is executed it gives me an error message saying that the query does not exist or the name is not spelled correctly. (Ps. I have created the query and the criteria does update once the Select statement is run in the code!)
again the reason for this is that the query has not been populated as the main query (qry1) needs 'strat date' and 'end date'!
Is there anyway I can pass these 2 parameters to qry4 directly using code? If there is a way then this will definitly work as i tried opening the query manually in the Query window and after I input the 2 dates in the input box the query ran successfully!
I would appreciate any help/suggestion guys, I need to sort this out quickly as i have a deadline... Cheers
PARAMETERS [DateFrom] DateTime, [DateTo] DateTime; SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN [DateFrom] AND [DateTo]
I want to open this query as a DAO.Recordset but have problems to assign values to the parameters. I tried different possibilities but invain. My latest try was as follows:
Dim QryDef As QueryDef Dim Date1, Date2 As Date Dim Orders As DAO.Recordset
Set QryDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("selOrders") QryDef.Parameters("DateFrom") = Date1 QryDef.Parameters("DateTo") = Date2 Set Orders = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("selOrders")
During execution error 3061 (Too few parameters, expected: 2) occurs.
I am trying to enter a user-defined parameter in a CrossTab query with little luck. It works fine if I enter the code already defined as in: >= #12/06/2006# but when I enter the code for a user-defined / input such as: >= [Enter date:], or if I try to redirect to a textbox on the active Form such as: >=[Me]![dfrom.Value] I get the error "Invalid field or Expression), although this syntax / code works fine if I do this in a normal query.
I have created a form with multi-select list boxes, behind which is the following code to transform the users' selections into query parameters.
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb() Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("Test")
If Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected.Count > 0 Then For Each varItem In Me!lstAB.ItemsSelected strCriteria = strCriteria & "Centres.[Area Board] = " & Chr(34) _ & Me!lstAB.ItemData(varItem) & Chr(34) & "OR " Next varItem strCriteria = Left(strCriteria, Len(strCriteria) - 3) Else strCriteria = "Centres.[Area Board] Like '*'" End If strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Centres " & _ "Where " & strCriteria & ";" qdf.SQL = strSQL DoCmd.OpenQuery "Test"
Set db = Nothing Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub
I would like to allow the user to set, on the same form, which field they want the resultant data to be sorted by, preferably by having a tick box alongside each list box, which sets that field as the sort field. The form will obviously need to allow only one of these tick boxes to be selected.
Can anyone advise me on how to modify the above code to make this possible?
Hey guys, I have a simple design question I hope someone can help me with. I have little to no experience with Access, but I know enough to get around. Anyways, I'm working as an extern for a rock band. One of my assignments is to create a publicity contact database. I have all my forms and tables set up but I'm having some trouble creating my query. There are about 10 fields in the contact table. I want the user to be able to search any one of those 10 fields OR any combination of them. Is there a way to do this with only one query, where it willl prompt the user for only the fields they have selected to search?
I have a query that pulls information from two tables. Some of the fields that are being queried share the same name in the tables, [Reimbursed_Amount] and [Cancel_Fee] specifically. In Design View I have specified that I only want the query to pull these fields from the Event Information table. An error occurs when I try to run it, saying that I need to define which table the field is from in the SQL code.
But then after I added clarification in the SQL, when I run the query it now prompts for a parameter for each of these fields. Why is this happening? I leave it blank, so a parameter has no impact on the query. How can I stop this?
Here's the SQL, after I added the table clarification:
Code: SELECT (Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost])+nz([Cancel_Fee].[Event Information])-nz([Reimbursed_Amount].[Event Information]))) AS Total_Cost, [Shared Billing Information].Paid, [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID, [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID FROM [Shared Billing Information] RIGHT JOIN [Event Information] ON [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID = [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
I have a report and export function which is based on date parameters. The field name called "date". However, I added a new field called "followup-date" because we would like to track customers that are returning back. Now, my problem is when I go to Export by date parameters or generate the report by certain date eg. July1st to July 28th, it only pulls up the record based on DATE field.
Is it possible for the date parameters to look up july1st to july 28th under date field as well as followup-date and pull up those records that are meet the date parameters? The reason I have to do this is because some customers do not come back for followup so I have to look under 'date' field too. While some customers can have more than one followup.
All I want to do is run a make table query (or append) and show the user how many records were processed. If I try to set recordset equal to the qdf.Execute I get the Compile error "Expected Function or variable".
I'm not sure what I'm missing...I've searched numerous threads and tried various combos of the execute method.
strquery = "qryEmailGenerate" Set db = CurrentDb Set qdf = db.QueryDefs(strquery) Set rs = qdf.Execute txtStatus = "Number of email recs: " & rs.RecordCount & vbCrLf
My database is set up to track call evaluations with 4 fields for number data (S, A/C, C/E and B) each of these have a possible point total. I also have a percentage field to track out of total possible points.When I run my query I get a list of each of the totals for each of the evaluations with the associates names (as expected).I take that query and try to run a report wizard to give me an average socre for each associate. and the system returns averages of 0 or an odd number that does not make sense.when I use the =Avg([fieldname]) process I get an accurate average of the total but can not get it to do a "subtotal" for each associate.
