Using A Wildcard On A Like Left Outer Join
Jun 21, 2007
Hi All
I have been running a query to find out the name and addresses of some of our customers but some data keeps coming in to the results that i dont want to see.
The data is in the Name column so I have built a second table and put the names of the items i do not wish to see in the second table using a left outer join and selecting null or not null. This works great if i know all the combinations of the name such as smith i.e d smith david smith, sam smith dd smith etc.
I would like to enter Smith into the table and have my query return everything except with the word smith in.
I can code this into the query with not like *smith* but that means everytime i want to go into it i would have to enter the query not the front end
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity
from(
SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center
FROM [Open Items]
)a
left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON
(a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity)
Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)

I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works???

I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have
Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C
Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3
A.............100
C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is
SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1
AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
but I get Join Expression not supported
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Okay i have 3 tables
I would like to join them all by a field called twp, but the problem is in some tables the field twp might contain more or less rows than table2 and table3 or vice versa.
Is there a way to include all the rows from all tables in a query.
Suppose if table2 has a column which table1 doesnt have, then it will just show table1 column as blank etc..
Iv tried just doing an outer join on all the tables but for some reason access doesnt allow it.
Thanks in advance

Hey Folks,
I'm trying to write a query that will get all the records from one table, and only certain records from others. (Access2000) I'm getting a "join expression not supported" error however, so my question is two fold.
1. Does Access2000 support an inner and outer join the in same query?
2. Does my query below just have a syntax error thats causing the problem?
Here is the SQL, i've posted a rough table schema below too. (please note i'm using ColdFusion to query the database, so the #tstiid# is a variable passed to the query)
SELECT ((iss.iid, pg.pgid, pg.pg_name
FROM issues iss
LEFT JOIN issuespages ip ON ip.iid = iss.iid)
RIGHT JOIN pages pg ON pg.pgid = ip.pgid
WHERE iss.iid = #tstiid#
Database layout:
Table 1, named: issues
iid | issuename | a ton of other fields
------------------------
1 | April 2006 |
2 | May 2006 |
table 2: pages
pgid | pagename | pagecontent | etc
-------------------------------------
1 | Contact us | To contact us, use the following...
2 | News | Upcoming news...
table 3: issuespages
ipid | iid | pgid
--------------------------
1 | 1 | 1
2 | 1 | 2
Thanks in advance for anyones time!

Hello All,
Beginner level question!
I am working on a schema that might need outer joins for some of the queries and thereby reports I will need to produce. So, I wanted to get an idea from the pros about the following strategy:
How about leaving all the joins in the Relationships to begin with as Inner Join and change them to Outer Join as required (for a given Query. I believe this is possible)? What are the pros and cons of this approach.
Thank you

Hi!
Thanks for all help so far, this forum is great ;)
I have 3 tables: Order, Product and Names.
I want to list All orders, no matter if they hold a key to a product or not, and no matter if this product has been given a name (in the table name) or not.
To make it even more complicated, the customer can give upp to 16 namesuggestions, they are all numbered from 1-16. But If they are given a namesuggestion, i only want to present the first one (nr 1).
Relations: 1 order -> 0 or 1 product.
1 order -> 0 or up to 16 names, of which i only want to display nr 1.
Any suggestions?
I am thinking of preparing the data in a temporary table, but would be glad if i did not need to do so....

I'm the dummy in question. I'm new to Access and have a fairly simple database that I'm using to find potential customers. I am targeting them by two criteria using two different queries (both queries are looking at different fields of the same table). I want to create a combined query that pulls ALL of the results from both of my target queries. Searching around this forum I see that I need to create an Outer Join which Access doesn't exactly do. I also see that there are ways to simulate this, but I can't seem to figure out those ways. If someone could please explain this to me in a very simple way, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

I have a table and a query. The first 4 fields of the table correspond to that of the query. The query does not have any other fields, but the table has 26 more fields. Is it possible to use SQL OUTER JOIN or UNION or whatever to append the data of the query to the table or do I have to go with recordsets of VBA?

ISNULL(B.Delivered_Date, B.Delivery_Date) AS Start_Date, ISNULL(C.Delivered_Date, C.Delivery_Date) AS End_Date
FROM dbo.PROJECT A LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.PROJDATE C ON A.Project_ID = C.Project_ID AND C.Date_Type = "End Date"
Can anybody help me out the error with this. I get an error : at dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" .

I have 2 tables (tblItemsQB and tblItemInfo) that have a 1 to 1 relationship linked by the "PartNumber" field. The tblItemsQB table contains a description field and 2 price fields (this table is downloaded from Quickbooks). The tblItemInfo table contains additional fields with information on the part that isn't contained in Quickbooks, like OrderType, Phase, SubSystem.
I import the items from QB into tblItemsQB and then do an outer join with tblItemInfo to link all the information for the part. If I have created a new part in Quickbooks, when I do the outer join (I include all records from tblItemsQB) I can see the new part but since the part number doesn't exist yet in tblItemInfo, I can't add the information to the fields in that table.
What is the easiest way to create the new PartNumbers (those that exist in tblItemsQb but not in tblItemInfo) in the tblItemInfo table so I can add the other information to it?
thanks

I would like to create a full outer join in Access2010 between two tables with many to many relationship.
So I have tblServer and tblApplication and there is also the ServerID-ApplicationID table that connects these tables.
I found online many examples but all of them where for two tables with one-to-many relationship.

My goal is to create a form that allows me easily edit what State each City is assigned to, and edit what Country each State is assigned to. I have 3 tables:
tbCities
CityID (Primary Key)
StateID (Foreign Key from tbStates)
City
tbStates
StateID (Primary Key)
CountryID (Foreign Key from tbCountries)
State
tbCountries
CountryID (Primary Key)
Country
For right now, I want to focus on just States and Cities... so I also have this query:
quCity_to_State
Field: City
Table: tbCities
Field: State
Table: tbStates
The join type for the relationship between tbCities and tbStates is: Include ALL records from 'tbCities' and only those records from 'tbStates' where the joined fields are equal. That way I can see all the cities and the state they are assigned to.
However, when I view the query in datasheet view and try to type anything into the State field of this query, I keep getting this error: "Cannot enter value into blank field on 'one' side of outer join". I figured the source of the form should be this query instead of the tables directly, but if I can't input data into the query then I wont be able to input data into the form.
What am I doing wrong?

Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon

I think I have just finished designing my database and I tried to test it and I couldn't enter any new records as it says "Can't enter data into blank field on "one" side of outer join" whenever I try and enter info and I don't know much SQL to work out what has happened. It probably causes this too but I also cannot select check boxes.
The form where I try and enter the info is called Crisis_support_workers v3. I have attached my database so you can look at what I have done.

I am fairly new to Acces 2010.I have two seperate tables hat I need to use to compare data. As you can see table A and table B have some of the same item numbers but they also have different item numbers that are not other table. Also some of the item numbers are duplicated in each table but that is okay because the cost of the item is different. Both tables contain item numbers for the products. I want all of Table A item numbers including the item numbers that are in table B. But I also want Table B item numbers except for the item numbers that are also in Table A. In the real raw data file some of the item number fields are blank but the other fields have values. How should I query these tables so that I achieve the correct results?
Table A
Item Num Costof Item Supplier Sales Tax Purchase Month
1234 $1.00 Walmart $2.00 Dec 2013
2222 $4.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013
2222 $2.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013
1276 $3.00 Sams club $1.50 Dec 2013

Hi
I am trying to use left join on the following tables.
Employees
----------
EMPLOYEE_ID
FIRST_NAME
LAST_NAME
and
Weekly_Timesheets
-------------------
EMPLOYEE_ID
WEEK_NO
YEAR_NO
TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED
All I want is to pull all the employees with their corresponding total worked hours. There are cases when some employees forget to fill their time sheets in a week and might not have entries in weekly_timesheets table. Since I want all the employees irrespective of whether they have a record in weekly_timesheets or not I am using left join.
The left join I am using is as follows:
SELECT EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID,
WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.TOTAL_HOURS_WORKED
FROM EMPLOYEES
LEFT JOIN WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS
ON WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.EMPLOYEE_ID = EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID
AND WEEKLY_TIMESHEETS.WEEK_NO = 46;
The moment I am trying to execute this statement Access is crashing. I couldn't figure out what am I doing wrong.
Kind Regards

Hi Guys
I'm kind of a newbie to Access but am learning :D
I've found myself stuck with a join statement
I have 2 tables: tblFleet & tblService
I need to find the most recent service date from tblService for each entry under tblFleet....
This is my code thus far, but it shows all the records for both tables where the fleet_Num field is equal....
SELECT tblFleet.Fleet_Num, tblFleet.In_Yard, tblService.SrvDate
FROM tblFleet LEFT JOIN tblService ON tblFleet.Fleet_Num = tblService.Fleet_Num
ORDER BY tblService.SrvDate DESC;

Simple exlusion query:
SELECT tblEmployees.EmployeeID, tblEmployees.LicenceNo, tblTimeSheet.ShiftDate, tblEmployees.FirstName, tblEmployees.LastName
FROM tblEmployees LEFT JOIN tblTimeSheet ON tblEmployees.EmployeeID = tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID
WHERE (((tblTimeSheet.EmployeeID) Is Null));
errrr nope it doesnt work.. and that is direct from the wizard...
I have a work around but it is inelegant not to mention not workable..
what i need to do is filter on a shift date as i need to see what employees are not rostered on particular dates..
what i have had to do is make a query selecting base data from timesheet and filter the date at that point... make another query to do the left join.. again not elegant... to make a report i would somehow have to programmatically adjust the filter on the date.. too hard basket and will be too slow when i have a copious amount of data in 12 months... anyone know what the hell is wrong?

Hello
I have a loan db that I want to write a query to reflect all active loans with or without a current month's payments. In other words, I want it to select all active loans even if there was no activety during the month. I have 1 query that pulls out all active loans; qryActiveLoans. I then create a left join (2) with that query Grouping on the Loan# and summing the Principal and Interest fields where the payment Date is between #10/01/07# and #10/31/07#. I need to group on loan the number because some loans have more than one transaction in the month.
The problem is that the query does not select the loans that didn't have any payments during the month. I thought that a left join (2) will pull out ALL the records from the qryActiveLoans query. I've tried adding the word ALL after the SELECT statement but that does not work. I've also tried various forms of nz without success. This is probably a common problem but I could not find it in my searches of past postings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am trying to do a left join in ASP but getting error message saying "Syntax error in From clause"
The query runs fine if I have a record for a country in all the tables. But I have certain countries that do not have a
matching record in currency table. For those countries I want the information from the other tables. Following is the
query:
SQL = "SELECT Country.Country_Name, Country.Continent," & _
"Country.GNI_per_capita, Inc_Cons_Distribution.Top_10_percent," & _
"Inc_Cons_Distribution.Gini_Index, Population.Total_Pop, Population.Urban," & _
"Population.Rural, Population.Under_14, Population.Below_Poverty," & _
"Currency.Curr_Name, Currency.Exchange_Rate FROM (([Country] LEFT JOIN Population ON " & _
"Country.Country_Name=Population.Country_Name) LEFT JOIN Inc_Cons_Distribution ON " & _
"Country.Country_Name=Inc_Cons_Distribution.Country _Name) LEFT JOIN Currency ON " & _
"Country.Curr_ID=Currency.Curr_ID where country_ID in(" & countryList & ")"
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am doing a Left Join to try to look up values in a large (about 100,000 records) table. If the value isn't found, I'm using the nz function to supply a value.
This query runs very slowly (takes about 2 minutes). I can understand why... I suppose that for every value it's trying to look up , it has to loop through all 100,000 records before it decides that it's not there.
So, I am just looking for ideas on how to make this run faster.
I do have indexes on all my join fields and criteria fields.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Here's the SQL:
SELECT VM1a.row, VM1a.Column, VM1a.Noun, VM1a.Rev, VM1a.RefDes, VM1a.repcode, VM1a.Cell, VM1a.InspPoint, VM1a.DefectType, CLng(nz([FirstOfTruncatedOpSeq],0)) AS ZOpSeq, Sum(VM1a.DefectQty) AS SumOfDefectQty
FROM VM1a LEFT JOIN BOMOutRefDesOnly ON (VM1a.RefDes = BOMOutRefDesOnly.RefDesOnly) AND (VM1a.BOM1 = BOMOutRefDesOnly.PCAItemNo)
GROUP BY VM1a.row, VM1a.Column, VM1a.Noun, VM1a.Rev, VM1a.RefDes, VM1a.repcode, VM1a.Cell, VM1a.InspPoint, VM1a.DefectType, CLng(nz([FirstOfTruncatedOpSeq],0));

SELECT * FROM ((Submissions LEFT JOIN Candidates ON Submissions.`Candidate Code` = Candidates.`Candidate Code`) INNER JOIN `Type Candidate Status` ON Candidate.Status = `Type Candidate Status`.`Status ID`)
WHERE Submissions.Status <> 7 ORDER BY `School Interest` DESC;
I want to get the Candidate.Status to inner join with the `Type Candidate Status`.`Status ID`.
If you can help, thanks in advance.
