I have a report query (qry_Data) that contains a field called "StartDate". I have a report form (frm_Data) where I want to put 2 text boxes (Text101 and Text102). I want to create the Query Criteria code for the StartDate so that it will look for start dates between the dates listed in Text101 and Text102 and if the user does not put anything into Text101 or Text102 it just searches for all dates.
I tried to use the code below
Between ([Forms]![frm_Data]![text101] Or Like [Forms]![frm_Data]![text101] & "*") and ([Forms]![frm_Data]![text102] Or Like [Forms]![frm_Data]![text102] & "*")
However, Access modified my code to this
Between (([tbl_Data].[Start])=[Forms]![frm_Data]![text101] Or ([tbl_Data].[Start]) Like [Forms]![frm_Data]![text101] & "*") And (([tbl_Data].[Start])=[Forms]![frm_Data]![text102] Or ([tbl_Data].[Start]) Like [Forms]![frm_Data]![text102] & "*")
And it does not work. Any suggestions on how to do this?
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
Hi, How can I make the data in a textbox on my form automatically entered as the search criteria in a query. So say the box says Mike Johnson, can I make a command button (That I can eventually subsititute as the actual box) that puts the Nma emIk Johnson into a search query and brings up all the information on him from the database?
I've been developing the code below but when the length of .lstAnswers is longer than 128 it doesn't delete the question. Is there a reason under queries or SQL this should happen? I'm hoping that i'm just thick and there's an easy answer but nothing seems to work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub cmdRemoveAnswer_Click() Dim Answers_SQL As String Answers_SQL = "DELETE tblOptions.* " & _ "FROM tblOptions " & _ "WHERE (((tblOptions.strAnswer)=[Forms]![frmQuestionWizard]![lstAnswers]) AND ((tblOptions.strQuestion)=[Forms]![frmQuestionWizard]![lstQuestion])) OR (((tblOptions.strAnswer) Is Null))" DoCmd.RunSQL Answers_SQL, 0 lstAnswers.Requery End Sub
When the query is run, it returns 0 results. However, if I put in Like '5???????' as the criteria in the query itself, it runs properly.
I tried closing the form and running the query so that it asks me for a value since it can't find that textbox since the form is closed. I pasted in Like '5???????' and it returns 0 results.
I have used this method for entering start and end dates for reports before and it has worked just fine. I can't figure out why it isn't working here. Any thoughts?
Simple question but I've been stuck for a looong time.
So what I want to do:
1. enter a value into a text box (Home_Tel) in a form (frmStudentClass) 2. which runs a query (qryNameTel) 3. and return the results to a combo box (Student_Name) on the same form.
The same Home_Tel may have several Student_Name results.
-I have entered [Forms]![frmStudentClass]![Home Tel] for the criteria in the query - However I can't get the results to turn up on the combo box - I have the following:
Private Sub Home_Tel_AfterUpdate() ' run query DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryNameTel"
Me.Student_Name.Requery
End Sub
Any ideas?
Or is there an easier way to tackle the problem?
Home_Tel and Student_Name are from the same tables. I have created a query just for Home_Tel and Student_Name
Not sure if this is possible but here goes (even if I make a fool of myself for asking).
I have a report that lists data based on criteria set in a form. The main criteria is Month (Month4Report) and Year (Year4Report).
The report lists all jobs that started that month and also any jobs that had work done during that month - even if they started in the previous month.
What I would like to do is highlight any job that has an actual start date prior to the current searched month (Month4Report). By making it bold or other way.
I am trying to sum the values in a textbox on a subform using a textbox in that subforms footer. Currently I have the textbox's control source to be this:
This isn't filtering the appropriate records and is instead summing everything.I want to sum payment amount only if the chkinvoicesent box is checked off. Is the proper way to do this with a Dsum? I wanted to do it with the sum because it is faster and more elegant, or so I thought!
I'm trying set the query criteria from a textbox on a form. It's a Status field in the query. 1 = Open, 2 = Closed. If I set the criteria to "1" it shows all open, "2" and it shows all closed and "1" or "2" it shows all. The problem I'm having is setting these in the form. I've set the query to pull the value from the form. I can get the Open or Closed to work but not the All. My textbox shows exactly how the criteria should read "1" or "2" but doesn't show any results.
I have some filtering criteria in a query that is based on some unbound text boxes in a form. These text boxes contain start and end dates. This form is not based on any table or query. All controls are unbound.
The query functions properly initially, however, I am programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes in the form that are used by the query. After their values have changed, the query doesn't seem to recognize the change and therefore returns no values.If I manually change the the values in the text boxes and run the query it works fine. However, I would like to avoid doing it this way, if at all possible.
After programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes, I tried setting the focus to the text boxes, setting the focus to other controls, refreshing the form, requering the form, requerying the text box, so forth and so on.
I've got a continuous form based on a query.Each of the fields have a search box below it (in the footer) which should ideally filter the query.I'm starting with the FirstName field.In the form's query, I've set the criteria to the following for the FirstName field:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![frmStudentDetails]![txtSearchFirstName] & "*" frmStudentDetails is the form name. txtSearchFirstName is the search box's name (in the footer). The AfterUpdate event for txtSearchFirstName is:
Code: Me.Requery
But, it doesn't work; when I switch to form view, it displays an error. The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![frmStudent Details]![txtSearchFirstName]' as a valid field name or expression.
My form is based on a table (SOP TBL) and has several text boxes with control sources of the records in the table. I need to add a criteria to one field (SOP Number) so that only current versions of the number show up. I have the SQL for a query that I use in another form for a combo box as shown below. What this criteria does is find the version number which is the last 2 digits of the SOP Number and displays only that record for the SOP Number in the combo box. How can I apply this code to the text box with the control source directly from the table so only the current records are displayed on the form?
Code: In (select max([SOP Number]) from [SOP TBL] group by left([SOP Number], len([SOP Number]) - 2))
I sure am having difficulty with this. I'm trying to have the criteria in my form refer to a text box within one of my forms which is the text as I would write it myself within the query design view.
[calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" OR "55343"
Basically, I just want to be able to enter the text string within a form instead of within the query. Sure this can be done!
Oh, and for what it's worth... If, [calcDestZip5]'s value in QueryWizard form = "55422" Then the query runs just fine. It's as if the query doesn't want to accept multiple criteria from another source.
I have a totals query that provides an avg for each month. i'd like to be able to use a text box control (named "Date") on a form (named "Report Runner") to show only a certain month and it's avg.
I tried using this as criteria on the "MonthGroupPMC" field:
I have a form with a command button that runs a report. I have been asked to modify things and if the data in the text box is "A", run report "A". If the data is "B", run report "B" and so on.
Am not getting a value from a form text box when using in the criteria line in my query. Am referencing like [Forms]![FormName]![FormLabelName]. If I copy the data in the form and paste it into the query, it works fine, but if I just reference the form, I get no results.
Is it possible to do a criteria like the "Between" to pull data like a work order number?
Ex WO#: WO5551212
I would like to be prompted to enter a Work Order Number when I run a query, then have the query display all of the data for that particular work order number.
I've been writing queries in the following format for years in Access 2003, but having recently transistioned to Access 2010, I've found the following sql doesn't work.transform
sum(s.value) SELECT s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name FROM supply_points s , codes c WHERE s.code = c.code and s.id is not null and s.code = 1075 and s.month >=[forms]![main]![gppstart ] group by s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name pivot s.month
In Access 2010, this query returns the following error message:the Microsoft Access database does not recognize '[forms]![main]![gppstart]' as a valid field name or expression
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried: 1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing! 2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
I have set up a database that stores actions (i.e jobs). In the table; two of the fields are...'required completion date' and 'actual completion date'. I wish to lookup, by using a query, all of the open actions (those which havent yet been complete (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null)) and then later on all those which are overdue (i.e the 'actual completion date' is null And the 'required completion date' <today....this being the criteria for an overdue action).
However, I have used a form which has a combo box which contains the values open and overdue. When a selection has been made I want a form to display with the results depending on the selection that has been made. I am capable of creating a form based on a query, but am unsure of how to construct the query with the correct criteria based on the option that is selected from the form.
I created a form that allows the user to choose the criteria that they want to see on a report using =Forms!formname!controlname in my query. It works great but I want to also allow the user to choose nothing and return all records instead of limiting them to choose just one type of record. Is this possible? Before I created the form my query had the [Enter parameter] on one criteria line and [Enter parameter] Is Null on the next criteria line and that was working great for my use but I need to create a simple form for other users.
