I have written a statement within a select query that modified the format of a date value:
Date of Birth: IIf([Date_Of_Birth]="00000000","",DateValue(Mid([Date_Of_Birth],7,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],5,2) & "/" & Mid([Date_Of_Birth],1,4)))
But receive the error:
Undefined Function Mid in Expression
Can anyone help?
thanks
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
End Function
Any suggestions as to why it won't recognize it?
Thanks.
Hi Guys
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???
Thanks

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;
Please can someone put me out of my misery?:mad:
Many thanks

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.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Hello first time poster :)
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.
Thank you
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
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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:
Hello,
I have a make table query and at some field on criteria "[Forms]![Gest vz]![Det1]![Cod furnizor].[Column](1)" i have the following error:undefined function '[Forms]![Gest vz]![Det1]![Cod furnizor].[Column](1)' in expression.
Please help!!! :)
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Percentage: Format(CountOfRegular Booking/DCount("*","tblBooking"),"Percent")I get an error: 'Undefined function 'Format'' - how can I fix this? The above expression is supposed to convert values into percentages. I copied the expression from someone's sample database (to help me) and I just changed the appropriate parts around, but I get that error. I put a space between 'Regular Booking' because that's how it is presented as my field name, but I also put them together as one word to see if that would solve matters, but no luck. The sample database works fine, however.Sample query expression:Percentage: Format(CountOfbooleanFieldName/DCount("*","TableName"),"Percent")Thanks guys. :D
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have used access to create a database for my web site which I use ASP to connect. I've written a function in Access which takes a product description and shortens it down...
Public Function GetShortDesc(strInput As String)
Dim x As Integer
Dim tempstr As String
Dim checkstr As String
x = 100
tempstr = Left(strInput, x)
If Right(tempstr, 1) = " " Then
GoTo stringfound
Else
Do Until checkstr = " "
x = x + 1
tempstr = Left(strInput, x)
checkstr = Right(tempstr, 1)
Loop
End If
stringfound:
GetShortDesc = Left(strInput, x - 1)
End Function
And I have used this function in a query which works fine in Access, but when I go to my ASP page and try to return the field to my page I am getting an error...
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Undefined function 'GetShortDesc' in expression.
It looks like the ASP page isn't accepting my function, Can anybody help???
Thanks in advance
I am getting the message Undefined Function on this query.
SELECT tblTerminal.TerminalID, tblTerminal.TerminalName, tblTerminal.TerminalAddress, tblTerminal.TerminalTypeID, tblTerminal.TerminalLocation

What could be causing this. I recently went from Access XP and XP to Access 2010 and Win 7 and Environ seems to be causing problems.
I am trying to run a query in an Access Database from another program using ODBC.
The query contains a user defined function and works fine when I run it in Access.
When I try to run the same query externally via ODBC I get the following error:
"ERROR 1 - [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Undefined function 'replace_chr13' in expression"
If I replace my user defined function wit a standard Access function such as LCase, the query can be accessed externally fine!
Can anyone suggest a solution?

I looked for missing references after I had received this message. List of available references had 4 selected items:
1) Visual Basic for Applications;
2) Microsoft Access 15.0 Object Library;
3) Microsoft Office 15.0 access database engine library
4) OLE Automation;
I tried to check off the 3rd and the 4th one, but it came to nought (error didn't dissapear). What else can I do ?
This module is giving me the "undefined function" error message when I try to run my query. I don't know why, but I have checked that there are no references with "missing" and there are not. I also added the word "Public" to the function becasue that was advised by another forum user. I thought it worked perfectly the first time I ran this query, but now it is not working and I do not recall making any changes. I have called the module basFunctions:
Option Compare Database

I'm doing some debugging over the phone.My friend has Access 2003.What does not work:When he codes the MID function in a query he gets an error like this:"Undefined function 'Mid' in expression."
In the Visual Basic editor, he gets the same error: MID is undefined.What DOES work:I walked him through the use of LEFT and RIGHT in the query and they work.In Excel, MID works.Might there be some odd ball Access configuration mess up, or maybe more likely, his Access installation is incomplete.
I m using Access 2010.I m Facing a problem in the undermentioned expression,
OPB: 1*Nz(DSum("[Trans]","LogDetail","[LocationID]='" & [LocationID] & "' AND [ProductID]='" & [ProductID] & "' AND [LogDate]<#" & Format([FromDt],"dd-mm-yy") & "#"),0)
when i run the query it gives "Undefined Function 'Format' in Expression" ?

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 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.
Please help.
Thanks
I have got a problem on one of our computers.
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 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'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!
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])
[Code] .....
I create e field with calculation expression and I need to round the results. I insert the following expression:
Round(IIf([A]="N";0;(IIf([B]>0;([B]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]);([H]-[C]-[D]-[E]-[F]+[G]))));2)
I have back the following error message: Could not find field 'Round'.
I do not understand why, because Round is not a field, but a function.
