Where Do I Enter A Query?

I want to be able to simply type out my query. It's faster for me than using the GUI.
Where in Access can I just enter a statement?
For some reason the query I built will not let me enter any info into it. Is this a relationship problem or because I am using the querie in a form that has subforms, (I can enter new info into the subforms.) or because I wrote code to just print the report to the current record? Or something else????
Thanks!

Below is the expression I have in a query. I have a Combo Box on a form that will show all my query's so the one need at the time can be selected. My question is: is there anyway when I select this query to run from the Combo Box on the form that I can input the date range on the fly? The date range will change periodically and I would like to somehow input the date range when running the query from the Combo Box.
FORMS: DCount("[Date_of_Change]","all_trucks_table","[FORM #]=True AND [Date_of_Change] Between #06/30/05# and #07/31/05#")
Thanks for all help!
Hi,
I want the user to be able to pick from a list the criteria that they can put in when prompted by a query.
At the moment, when you run the query, I have it set up so it prompts for the criteria: [Enter Section:] - so the user has to type in the section.
I want them to be able to pick the section from a drop down list.
I remember vaguely having to set up a form to do this....???
Thanks!

Hi all, firstly please forgive me if i'm a little slow, i haven't done any access work for a year or so and i'm a bit rusty :o
Basically i have a customer database which holds customer details and orders. It's been created and working fine for a couple of years, but i recently found something that i'm having trouble with. tblCustomers holds most of the data and links to other tables such as tblCustomerPostCode/tblCustomerEmail with the primay key CustomerNumber. I put certain data such as these in other tables because i was taught to not include fields with lots of blanks and these wouldn't necessarily always have data. The relationships table is attached - relationships.jpg
I also have a main table for customer orders - tblCustomerPurchases which holds data such as date of purchase and purchase cost. This has a primary key field called PurchaseNumber, and links to tblCustomers with a CustomerNumber field. This meant i could have many purchases for one customer, etc.
Everything has worked great as i said and i have many forms, reports etc with no problems, and the problem i have hasn't shown itself until now.
If i have a query with tblCustomers and all the relevant other tables linked to it, all fields work perfectly and i can add, edit etc whatever data i need to. See qselcustdetails.jpg attached.
The moment i add the tblCustomerPurchases or anything that uses it to the query however, i can no longer add data to some of the fields such as tblCustomerPostcode, tblCustomerArea, tblCustomerEmail etc. If there is data in the field already then i can change it, but not add new data. See qselcustdet&purchase.jpg attached.
I believe it must be to do with the fact that tblCustomerPurchases uses the CustomerNumber field as well? And it then doesn't allow tables such as tblCustomerPostcode to create new data? But i can't understand why. Like i said i'm a little rusty and i can't figure it out at the mo :confused::rolleyes:
Also, can anyone tell me any suggestions for the easiest way of fixing it? The database already has 5000 customers and plenty of forms, reports etc.
Many thanks in advance :D
I am trying to build a query that would be pulled by indaviduals name entered by the user of the DB. I can't remember the santax to use in the critera field.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database structure with a series of queries which are all inter-linked.
I want my database to be user friendly, what is the cleanest way to be able to enter a single variable eg as a criteria for a query - say the date, rather than having to change it in a series of queries manually, can I call it from somewhere?
I am using Access 2007 & trying to update a database to include a check & balance.
Currently a user enters their name into a form, selects a check box (Pass or Fail) & clicks a save button. Real simple form. The actual testing is performed on a standalone piece of equipment separate or outside of the MS Access database.
Here is the challenge, if someone does select Fail, I want to ensure this person comes back into a blank form (new entry) & confirms they have eventually passed. I want to give a time limit of 10 minutes before an email is sent out to their superiors. (I have the email portion figured out already).
Other entries will take place before the failed user comes back to the entry form so the form needs to be available for other people to enter their results.
I believe this can be done using some VBA and a query but I am not sure where to start especially with the 10 minute allowance to recheck the test status.
I cannot sort below query in descending order by absolute value. If I do not use sort, all works fine but as soon as I try to sort by absolute value I get message to 'Enter Parameter Value'. I tried to replace Abs([Variance (W2 - W1)]) with filed name AbsoluteValue and still the same result ;(
Code:
SELECT [Query Union].[Stock Code] AS SKU, [Query Union].[Pallet No] AS [Pallet No], [Query Union].[Batch No#] AS Batch, IIf(IsNull([qW1 SOH].[Physical stock]),0,CDbl([qW1 SOH].[Physical stock])) AS [W1 Qty], IIf(IsNull([W2 SOH].[Good Stock]),0,CDbl([W2 SOH].[Good Stock])) AS [W2 Qty], [W2 Qty]-[W1 Qty] AS [Variance (W2 - W1)], Abs([Variance (W2 - W1)]) AS AbsoluteValue
[code]....
I am trying to create a query where a user will enter information in boxes (any combination) on a form and a query will bring up the joined information from 4 different tables but I do not know where to start with the relationships on the query let alone the best method to search.
To start it off I have attached a db with the tables and the form I want the user to enter the search criteria into as well as my attempt at a query.
I have table which store set of number
table: parameter
field: Branch
550
660
770
880
I want to use enter query criteria so that it can filter all record from parameter table, How can I do? or any VBA code can serve same purpose?
Is there an easy way of entering a value in a text box, passing to a query to do a count function and then return the value of count function in to anther text box?

I already tryied by opening DAP in design view & then in microsoft script editor but i couldn't find anything about this pop-up parameter form.
Any suggestions are wellcome:rolleyes:
I have built a database which has been running OK for 3 or 4 years. Something happened the other day (error - rebuild d/base) and now there are certain fields that I cannot enter any data into. Others are fine and I can see what is already there.
Any suggestions very welcome.
I have a form and it is related with a query and by clicking ok I got the required results in Access 97. But now I have converted to Access 2002 and whenever i enter values in the form and click ok I get a Dialog Box "Enter Dialog Box". I read MKB article but it did not help me at all. Please help me out I am not getting any idea at all to solve this problem?

I have a query which runs ok until it is filtered. I have tried using criteria to filter the info I need but this returns an 'Enter Parameter Value' message. Running the query without using criteria works okay but using a filter in the report itself returns a 'Data Mismatch' message.
The report filters fine on fields until it gets to one that has been changed from text to number. It also includes an Nz formula. The formula in the is field is: CLng(Nz([order_no],0)). Other fields related to this also appear to be affected.
I need the CLng formula as the field is needed to calculate other fields using a zero instead of a null which would otherwise cause an error. I was given the formula on this forum yesterday, (thanks Bob Larson and AlanJ10), which was great in solving the other issue but is this is what is affecting filtering, (ie. a confusion between text and number?!?!) I have also tried converting the result of the calculation I want to filter back into text using CStr but this does not make any difference.
I have checked the field names and also renamed fields that were 'Expr' (as in default names for calculated fields), and cannot see any problems.
Thanks
I have a query and one of the fields/headings i have it create is a "cost" total where it does a dlookup from a defaults table.
I then have a "listprice" which is antoher field in the querry of which the data table sits.
I want to take the [listprice] and minus the [cost] without re-creating the dlookup function...
I need this to help with an APR calulction using the RATE function which if i have it do all the dlookups it says I have exceeded the limitiation and will be trumcated. So if i use the name [cost] it works but i have to hit enter because it says "Enter Parameter Value".
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thank you.
I have the following query that gives me this halt. If I enter without responding to it it opens in Datasheet view as intended. It wants me to enter Query2.EmpID. This is my SQL statement.
SELECT qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy, qryPolicyByDriverName.EmpID, qryPolicyByDriverName.DriverName
FROM tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers INNER JOIN qryPolicyByDriverName ON tblTrainingPoliciesNotCoveredDrivers.CWSPolicy = qryPolicyByDriverName.CWSPolicy;
I don't know why this is happening. Thanks for looking at my problem.
I have a continuous form with an unbound text box (for search critera) and a command button to kick off the search, which simply applies a filter.
When a user enters text in the unbound text box and hits "Enter", I want the search to be kicked off (instead of having to tab over or mouse over to click the "Search" command button. This is the default functionality of an HTML <form>, so users kind of expect it. But I'm having trouble implementing it in MsAccess.
I've tried using the KeyDown property of the unbound textbox, but no luck, since the KeyDown method occurs before the data in the box is saved. I'm guessing this is related to detecting what key has been pressed but my issue seems to be the order of events occurring on the form.
Any suggestions? This *must* be common situation, but I've found no related topics in searching the forum.
ok im am not sure if this is in the right place but it seems to be a form problem.
i have a form that has a textbox(text1) which is used to enter a supplier name, the user then presses enter and another form opens up with all the supplier details.ok.
the code i have to do this is on the afterupdate of text1 which is unbound is
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]=" & Supplier name
when i use this code and the enter key is pressed an `Enter Parameter Value` dialog box appears with the supplier name under the blue title bar.if i then enter the supplier name again it opens the second form and displays all the details i want.
If i use the code
DoCmd.openform"SupplierDetails",,,"[Supplier Name]"= me.Supplier_name
it opens up the second form without the dialog box but it doesnt display any details.
is ther any way to adjust the first code so the dialog box isnt displayed and just goes straight to the second form and displaying the details.
i have gone through as many posts as i can but cant seem to find a fix.
any help would be appriciated thanks
Hello all,
Thanks to all the folks that have helped with my posts in the past.
I have 2 questions.
I have a form with textboxes.
When I tab from one textbox to the other, the tab goes to one of the buttons on the page. How do I tab from one textbox to another.
Also, I have a textbox for memo. I would like to press enter and go to the next line in that textbox.
Thank you very much.
I created a form to let user enter project summary. However, the maximum charaters is 255. What can I do to allow more charaters be entered in the form? I already set up "can grow" as yes.
Thank you.
I have a text box next to a button that takes the value in the text box and performs a search with it. I'd like for the search to be performed when the user hits Enter after entering the value in the text box (when the focus is still on the text box). I assumed that i'd need to use the onkeypress event to run the search function performed by the button, but i'm not sure how to do this. help anyone?
thanks,
Jason
