Weird Help Requested
Feb 5, 2007
sorry,
there are too many requests and not enough information to easily create the required reports for my customers.
I want to copy a table/query with yes/no fields and paste into excel with the
boxes for the yes/no fields. . .
I can't remember or figure out how to do it. . .
I know it can be done as I have done it before, how, i can't recall. . .
thanks

I have at least 200 excel spreadsheets that get updated every day with closing prices of commodities. I want to run a breakout query against every spreadsheet to see if today's close is a new 20 day breakout. What is the best way to organize the access table or tables? Put all the data in one table or have separate tables for each contract and run one query against the group? I need to be able to update the tables everyday so that today's close info is included. I have a working query that works with a single dynamically linked spreadsheet to table, but I don't want to set this up for all 200 spreadsheets. Can this process be duplicated? I have tried to modify the query to run against two separate tables, but was unsuccessful. Since there are so many potential tables, if that is the best way to do it, how can you say select all tables and then run the query?
Here is the query I have written:
SELECT WZ07.Symbol, WZ07.AlphaDeliveryMonth, DateSerial(Val(Left([ddate],4)),Val(Mid([ddate],5,2)),Val(Right([ddate],2))) AS transdate, WZ07.DClose
FROM WZ07
WHERE (((DateSerial(Val(Left([ddate],4)),Val(Mid([ddate],5,2)),Val(Right([ddate],2)))) Between Date()-28 And Date()-1) AND ((WZ07.DClose)=(select max([WZ07].DClose) from [WZ07])));
The WZ07 is the December Wheat contract for 2007. This is what the excel spreadsheets are named. I had to do a dateserial command to turn a number into a date(couldn't make access recognize that 20070831 was August 31,2007) All the column headings on all the spreadsheets are the same: Symbol, AlphaDeliveryMonth, DDate(transdate),Close
I know that this is both about tables and queries so I wasn't sure where to post this. Thanks for your help.

I have an Append Query that I developed and am wanting to use the SQL View statement in a piece of VBA code that I am writing. The problem is that it is not working.
Here is the SQL View when I am in Query Design View.
Code:INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList ( AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec] )SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpecFROM TEMPAcctWHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));
Here is the code I have in VBA...
Code:Dim strSQL As StringstrSQL = "INSERT INTO tblMasterAccountList (AccountNum, AcctName, [Account Type], [Billing Spec]) "strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT TEMPAcct.Acct, TEMPAcct.Name, TEMPAcct.Type, TEMPAcct.BillingSpec "strSQL = strSQL & "FROM TEMPAcct "strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE (((TEMPAcct.Existing)=False));"DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
The code runs fine in that no errors are generated, but it does not append the records. When I run the query outside of VBA, it does append the records. Is there something special that needs to be done with an action query for the SQL statement to work in VBA?

Hi all. I am looking for a formula to calculate a commission, based on the total sales price. The commission is a sliding scale. Ex. if sale price is 200 or less, commission = 30%; if sale price is 201-500, commission = 25% on 201-500 & 30% of 1st 200; if sale price is 501-1000, commission = 20% on 501-1000, 25% of 201-500 & 30% of 1st 200; if sale price is 1001+, commission = 15% on 1001+, 20% on 501-1000, 25% on 201-500, & 30% on 1st 200. Does that make sense? In other words, if sale price is 300, I want commission to be 30% of 200 + 25% of 100, which = 85. Is there a way to write this in one formula?

Dear All:
I am totally clueless on this one. Here is the statement I am using in a textbox in a report:
=DCount("[Transcript_type]","[Diplomas_requested_per_month]","[Transcript_type]='Official copy'")
This report is based on a query. The query is called "Diplomas_requested_per_month". The fields in the query are: "Transcript_type" and "Request_date". In this query there is Between [Start Date] And [End Date].
I am attempted to count the number of "Official Copy" for a specified month.
I am propted to input the start date and ending date, it works great when I run the query. But in the report, I get a "#error".
I am thankful for who have responded to the previous posting of this issue, but I am completely lost.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dion

I set up what I thought was a simple query in my DB using it to create a report containing a subreport.
I kind of works, however Access is asking me for the parameter value [Extract Date] multiple times, when in theory it should only ask once!
In addition (and likely related) the Access is then repeating the output multiple times.

Access 2003 -
I have many queries in a DB. they work fine, but *sometimes* some of my queries are wiped - when i try to run them they say "query must contain at least one cell" or something..
when i check the query then, its empty!
I have saved out the SQL code into a word doc because this has happened a few times now.. so i just copy and paste the query back in - but this is very inconvenient! what is going on?

I have 2 unbound boxes in the footer of my continuous form. Both total up separate sets of fields using DSum and do it correctly. I have used Conditional Formatting on Total1 to make the numbers turn bold and red whenever Total1 is greater than Total2.
Here comes the weird part. It will always work whenever Total1 is greater than Total2, but sometimes when Total2 is bigger, Total1 is still red, even after I attempt to modify it and it requeries, or I go to a different record and come back. Any thoughts??
Thanks

I have a weird issue going on...I'm running a "Find Duplicates" query on one of my tables, I'm only checking for duplicate values in 2 fields and outputting a third. now this runs fine, unless I use the total's button to group them. When I group them that access instance stops responding. The reason I'm doing this is the third column can have duplicate values, for my purposes it doesn't matter, but I need to be able to see it.
I'm running this against 120k records.
Anyone help a poor man out?

Ok, a friend of my was on my laptop and he crashed the hardrive. I was able to get the database I have been working on off the computer but when I use my computer at work to try to open it, it opens but says
"Function is not available in expressions in tabel-level validation expresions"
on all the date-time functions. I can't save anything and my queries are not running because of this date/time thing. Anybody know what is going on?

I modified a form in an existing split database, by simply adding several fields. Now, I get various messages such as " not Access database "
or if it opens, the following message when I try to close it:
"Your last change may not have been changed because an internal buffer was locked by another user... "
Plus, when I do get out, I cannot delete the .ldb file which it says is open by Administrator. The thing is I ma only one to try this new database and I set no permisasions or... ?
Please, any ideas?

Hi, I have a table with two fields: CustomerName and OrderNumber.
Some order numbers have dashes, for example:
123-4, 123-5, 123-6 etc.
I wrote a query to strip those dashes from these ordernumbers, but only for 3 specific customers: Mark, Mike and Jane.
This is the query:
SELECT CustomerName, OrderNumber,
IIf(InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-")<>0 And InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-B")=0,
IIf([CustomerName] Like '*mark*' Or [CustomerName] Like '*mike*' Or [CustomerName] Like '*jane*',
CStr(Mid([OrderNumber],1,InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-")-1)),
CStr([OrderNumber])),
CStr([OrderNumber])) AS NewOrderNumber
FROM Test
GROUP BY CustomerName, OrderNumber,
IIf(InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-")<>0 And InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-B")=0,
IIf([CustomerName] Like '*mark*' Or [CustomerName] Like '*mike*' Or [CustomerName] Like '*jane*',
CStr(Mid([OrderNumber],1,InStr(1,[OrderNumber],"-")-1)),
CStr([OrderNumber])),
CStr([OrderNumber]));
This query works great when I run it from Access. However, if I run it from Visual Basic .NET, it does not strip any dashes for any customers. I am using the following connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C: est.mdb
And the following query:
SELECT * FROM [Strip] ORDER BY NewOrderNumber
(Strip is the query name in Access)
Did anyone encounter a problem like this before?
Thank you,
Nader

I am creating a switchboard to access a few data entry forms and to preview reports before printing. It seems that whenever I add a button to preview a certain form(the 4th button on the form, all others work fine), Access goes crazy. I get several errors, including:
"You have entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the propery MaxRecButton. "
and
"The Open Form action has been canceled"
Im also getting crashes to desktop and low memory errors.
Now I am getting "referenced memory" "memory could not be wrriten" errors? Is this an Access problem or a "need a computer upgrade" error?
Any clue why this might be happening for this form?

I am creating a database. There are two main tables - Table 1 is created via a Make Table query, which pulls from an Oracle db, which is the db for our department's customer service system. Table 2 is populated via a form. Table 1 has personal customer information and Table 2 has order information. The two tables share a Customer ID. Table 2 contains data that was imported from an Excel sheet (what the users had been using up until this db was created). For this example, let's say each customer will only ever have one order so there will be a record to record match. Also, since Table 1 has to be manually refreshed using real-time data, it may lag behind or be ahead of Table 2.
Here's my problem:
I want the user to see the customer's name when he/she types in the Customer ID. I got the DLookup to work for NEW records - that is, for records that exist in Table 1 but have not yet been entered into Table 2 - but it will NOT work for the 300+ records that I imported from Excel. For those records, the Name textbox remains blank or if I type in the Customer ID, gives me an error about entering duplicate values.
Furthermore, if Table 1 is lagging behind Table 2, I want the user to just go ahead and enter all the order information and when he/she goes back to update the order at a later date (after Table 1 has been refreshed), the name to just pop up.
Can anyone help or offer any thoughts?
Thanks.

Okay guys. This one may not be able to get answered. I made a report in Landscape view. However, when you look at it on a different computer, it shows portrait. I know what your thinking, but I checked the page setup and everything and it says it's in landscape view. Even when I print it, it prints in landscape. Does anyone know why this one computer refuses to show landscape? Has anyone ever seen this problem before? I don't even know where to start to fix it. It's just weird!

have a table call 'ClinicTimeTable' there is a column call 'ClinicDate', another column called 'DrID', different row could have same 'ClinicDate' and 'DrID', so I wanna to count how many Drs in a particular day, I have following code, but it acts so werid, it onlys work for some dates! say if I put 02/02/2006 then I can get the number of DrID by observing 'count', however, if I put 01/02/2006 like below, count is 0! but there is some records with 02/02/2006 (I open the table directly in Access), how can this happening? how can it only partly works? it will make more sense if it don't work at all.
Dataset ds = new Dataset();
query = "SELECT DISTINCT DrID FROM ClinicTimeTable WHERE ClinicDate = #01/02/2006#" ;
OleDbDataAdapter myAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter( query, oleDbConnection1 );
myAdapter.Fill ( ds );
int count = dds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;
any helps will be so appreciated! I am going mad at this problem!
by the way, i just tested that if any day in Jan 2006 is fine, say if i search 23/02/2006 or 22/02/2006 is fine... can't imagine why...
