Help - Why don’t my date fields sort in date order ?
I’m having a very annoying problem with my date fields. I have a database that keeps records of patients details and their visits to the practioner.
I have a form based on Patients table with name address etc, and a subform based on a Case Details table with details of visits and advice given etc.
I need the Case Details subform to display the latest visit/record at the bottom (the earlier visits at the top of the list). For some reason I just cannot achieve this. Dates seem to be scattered all over and I can’t understand why ??
I have tried sorting the Case Details table in ascending order, sorting the ‘Date of Visit’ field on the form in ascending order (which does work but as soon as the form is closed and re-opened, all the dates are mixed up again).
In the ‘OrderBy’ property of my Case Details Subform, it says:-
[Case Details Table].[Date of Action]
which according the help I have tried to look at should sort the records ??
I’d really appreciate any pointers as to where I’m going wrong
I'm trying to get my "IncidentDate" field to autopopulate two other date fields to a few days from the "IncidentDate". The other two date fields are "ContainDueDate" and "RootDueDate". I'm trying to accomplish this on my "Test CAP Form"
I tried using the following in the BeforeUpdate of "ContainDueDate" and received a complier error: expected =
Code : DateAdd(d,2,[IncidentDate])
so I removed the parenthesis and nothing happened
Code : DateAdd d,2,[IncidentDate]
I even tried redoing it in the AfterUpdate of "IncidentDate" and nothing happened either
Code : DateAdd d,2,[ContainDueDate]
I'm not sure if I'm even using the right function to get what I want.
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
I am currently building a booking and invoicing database for the small business where I work. One aspect of this database allows you to enter an employee name and schedule days off via a form I have already built. To access this information I would like a parameter query where you can enter a date once and then have this date looked up across a number of date fields. Here are my table column headings:
ID Employee Name Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Date 4 Date 5 Date 6 Date 7 ....etc
So, basically, the parameter query would ask "What date?" which the person would enter, and then search all 12 date fields to see if the date was contained in any one of them. Then it would pull any records which did have the date in one of the fields.
It seems really simple but I have searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer. Tried a multivalue field but does not seem to work.
Thanks very much, any help appreciated! Elspeth :confused:
Ok let me explainI have a list of 50 people who may have accessed events A,B,C at different times but what I want to do is to put a date in my form, run the quaery which will list all people who have Attended A,B or CWhen I do my normal query, I put the fields in, but if I put a date filter in Event A, it will not show up any person who may have attended event B but not Event A.I thought about running an append query but this would mean running the data several times with possible duplication of client names.Ideally I would like to have my report to showDate: 31/07/2006Name A B CK.Brown Y YJ Blogg Y YK Smith YK Ellum Y Ythen I can just use a count at the bottom :)The methods I have tired will filter event date A, but will not show J BloggIf I create another append for Event B, and append that data to a table, then I will have duplicaion of K Brown.. Any Help Appreciated.Last thing - when I run the append queriy and get my duplications, the fields where I had a Y/N option - if it was YES then I get a -1 instead of 1 ??? Why? and how do I make sure that when appending that the Y answer is a 1 not a -1
Working in MS Access 2010. Data must be entered and updated in Access only. Trying to figure out if it's even possible to auto populate dates in multiple fields in a form that are triggered when I enter ANY date in a primary date field on the form. I have close to half a dozen fields I'd like to do this for but here are a couple of the fields I'm working with:
Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice(Form field to be triggered and show a date 90 days prior to the trigger date) Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice (Form field to be triggered and show a date 60 days prior to the trigger date) Re Insp Date (Trigger date)
What I'd like to do is enter values in the "Re Insp Date" field (in the form) and have it trigger/auto-fill/auto-populate the "Re Insp Date 90 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 90 days prior to the "Re Insp Date" and the "Re Insp Date 60 Day Notice" so that it shows the date 60 days prior to the "Re Insp Date"........all this, and have it auto-update the queries and tables its linked to.
I've tried looking online and in instructional material to see if there is a formula, equation, macro, an expression or VBA coding that I can use to execute this but am having no luck.
The MAIN OBJECTIVE is to have the the linked query and table update automatically. Possible??
I have tried doing =([Re Insp Date])-90 but no dice...
The query is there to query data, not to edit data or manipulate data in anyway. However, I am disgusted by the appearance of the date picker when I pick a field that is a date field.
Is there a way to hide/remove these date pickers from the query sheet?
Within the table itself I turned the "Show date picker" property to "Never" but that didn't make a difference.
Is it possible to select 1 MAX date from multiple date fields for a record?
For example, on an employee record there are 10 date fields, each for a performance review date. Some employees may have date fields 1-3 with values, some with just 1, others 1-5, etc.....depending on how many performance reviews they've had.
Is there a way to pull the MAX review date for an employee, knowing that the MAX date could reside in Field 1 for a certain employee, and could be from Field 7 for another?
I have a table that has several fields that contain a date if a user is licenced to use a certain piece of equipment and is null if not. Each recor has other data in it such as name, and a unique identifier (numeric). What I want to do is make a list of the fields which have a date in them to create a licence for what they can operate. Any help on which way to go...pretty new at access.
I have a database which in one part records customer orders. What I would like to is identify customers who have not ordered for a given time period i.e. 30 days.
I know once I have built the query, I will require a parameter for the time period i.e.30 days.
I started by trying to record the last date ordered for a customer in a query, but am having problems with this. I had a query including information from my table for Orders (tblOrders). This had:
Order ID Customer Name Date Order Required
I do not need any more info apart from these fields.
The results would include all orders, so for some customers there would be numerous 'Order ID' & 'Date Order Required'. In the query, I did try to select the summary option, to group information by Customer - but the 'Date Order Required' was always the first date ordered. What I would like is only the last ones for all customers to be shown.
Can someone provide some guidance on how I can achieve my objective.
I have a report that I want to see the records by Job Due Date. I have it set up where it puts the records in ascending order in the query, and it works, but when I open the report they are not in order anymore. I have checked in the properties window and they are still supposed to be pulled in ascending order by job due date. Why won't it put them in the right order??
I am trying to run a query that will give me all of my customers who last purchased on or before 2004. I do not want anyone who purchased anything in 2005. I am including, name, address, telphone number, salesman, order date, and shipping method. I leave all criteria blank, and I have the order date totaled at "max", I run the query, then I filter the form for the shipping method of "no cod". When I run the query, it gives me my customer listing for everyone who purchased from 1999 on and where shipped out no cod. That is fine, except that some of the customers are listed a few times with different dates. Say, John Smith, my query is coming up with an order from 1-5-99 and then a few pages later, (because I am also putting it in descending order) he is on another page with the date of 2-5-2000. Why is this? In my criterea for the "order date" I have it as "MAX", which should bring me this customer only once. Is that correct? I am really having trouble with this. Can anyone help? I only want the customers listed once with their last order date.
I have tried posting this message before, but with no results. I am trying to get a query that will give me all of my customers and show what their last order date is. The query that I have now is coming back with ALL the dates the customers made purchases. Here is how I have the query set up: Field1 Customer ID Field 2 Customer name Field 3 Address Field 4 State Field 5 Phone # Field 6 Order Date (Last in Group by) Field 7 Shipping Method Field 8 Salesman name
The query is a select query and I hit the totals button on the toolbar. In Field 6-Order date, I have it grouped by "last". Another problem that I have it I am working in a 97 access database. I have tried to convert it to 2003 with no success. So, I am not able to make NEW queries or reports. I can modify them, but when I close the query or report design, it does not save.
Can anyone help me with this query problem? It is very perplexing.
My database has 4 tables. Table 1 is assembly line 1 data. Table 2 is the sizes for assembly line 1. Table 3 is assembly line 3 data. Table 4 is the sizes for assembly line 2.
The table data comes from another program - they are reimported regularly and so I cannot change, add or delete fields from these 4 tables.
I have to change tables 2 and 4 to crosstab queries and then create 2 queries that join 1+2, 3+4. That's easy enough, no problem.
But then I have to UNION queries 1+2. While 95% of the fields are the same, the most crucial are not - the sizes. Assembly line 1 has 5 less sizes than assembly line 2. I need ALL of the sizes to show in the combined query.
I need to add these 5 fields without adding them to the tables. I did manage to create a crosstab query that included the missing sizes, but now I have a 1 in those fields where I need a NULL or Zero value.
I have a combo box that contains the months. They appear in month order on the form but when I query, they are in alphabetical. How can I get this to be in month order on the query?
I have started a table to manage expenditure with dates payments and headings. Set up a query to summarise the monthly amounts by each heading. The Query is sorting the date in date in alpha order not date order so I get February before March etc. How do I get it to show chronological order?

Hi all, i have a query which will be used for reports, and only the last order placed by a customer is needed to be shown. Here's the table used in the query:-
So obviously for one customer there can be several orders, but i just want to show the latest one by the date field. I have tried grouping by the date field on both Last and Max, but with all the other fields from the table in the query (i need to have all the fields from the table for the report by the way) it still shows all the orders for a customer.
If i only include the customernumber field and dateofpurchase field and then group by date i have 4923 records, which is the correct amount, only one order per customer (the latest one) but adding any other fields to the query gives me the full 7000 odd orders (several per customer).
Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance.
I have a field named "PICK_DATE" in text format where pickup date is stored in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Now I wanted to generate a report with the order by clause of PICK_DATE. But it is not giving me the desired result. I want to see the latest PICK_DATE at the top of the report in desending order.
Can any one pls help me out to solve this problem ? :confused:
I have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";" Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
As you can see it consists of the name and a date of the backup. When it populates the combobox I want it to go in date order I newest to oldest. At the moment its going of the first number.
I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
I have a database with date and time each stored in a separate field. Now I want to query the database based on a start date/time and an end date/time. I started with the code below but it only returns events within the same time range on each day when what I really need is every event from a specified date and time through a specified date and time.
SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName FROM Staff INNER JOIN myTable ON Staff.ID = myTable.StaffID WHERE myTable.myDate >= #3/2/2014# AND myTable.myDate <= #3/3/2014# AND myTable.myTime >= #8:00PM# AND myTable.myTime <= #11:00PM# ORDER BY myDate desc
In the above example what I want is every event from 3/2/2014 8:00PM until 3/3/2014 11:00PM. But what I get instead is every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/2/2014 and every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/3/2014.
