I'm using an Excel spreadsheet that is importing external data from an access database in which I've got a field where the name of a person checking materials out is entered. it is currently set up, and I cannot change it, as a free form field. So folks enter information in a variety of ways.
For example, Larry Martin might be entered as "Larry Martin" or "Martin, Larry" or "larry.martin@somewhere.com". I'm trying to run a query that would look in that field for any entry with the string I enter, such as "Martin."
I've tried setting the criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Which Last Name] & "*"
However, when I try and run the query I get a message telling me the system is expecting two parameters.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've been banging my head against this for awhile now and am thoroughly stumped! All assistance, as usual, is greatly appreciated!
I have a form with subform which use six fields on the form to determine
what data is returned in the subform. As long as every field has a valid entry the data is returned
correctly. What I would like to add to this is if a particular criteria field is left blank it will return all
values in that field. The current SQL Statement looks like this:
SELECT QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.FINISH, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.SIZE, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.COLOR, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.BASISWGT, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.PRODUCT_LINE, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.MWIEGHT, QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.DFLT_VENDOR_ID, *
FROM QryItemQtyProductLineLinked
WHERE (((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.FINISH)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchProduct]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.SIZE)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchSize]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.COLOR)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchColor]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.BASISWGT)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchBWeight]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.PRODUCT_LINE)=[forms]![frmproductlinelookup]![MatchProduct]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.MWIEGHT)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchMWeight]) AND ((QryItemQtyProductLineLinked.DFLT_VENDOR_ID)=[Forms]![FrmProductLineLookup]![MatchVendor]));
Thank you in advance for any help!
I've got a query that does exactly what this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89564&highlight=null+records) chap got his to do.
However I want to add a "*" character to the criteria to allow for searches with partial matches. Here's the criteria that works:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
However when I try the logical extension:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*" Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
this doesn't work, and nor does:
[title]=([Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*") Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
WHAT DO I DO? I'M TIRED AND I CANT THINK STRAIGHT! :eek: thanks and sorry for being so dumb!
In a database am building, I want to run a query with the criteria dependant on which field the user populates in a form.
The form has a number of fields that the user can select from including our reference number, the client's reference number and the site address.
I would like the user to be able to select the site address using a wildcard so that they can enter a part of the address such as "This Street" instead of "45 This Street" and the user be presented with all of the records matching "This Street".
I tried using the criteria:
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchJobs]![SearchAddressLine1] & "*"
Which works perfectly as long as this field is populated. If this field is not populated, entering details in any other field bring up every record in the database.
Code:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![SearchJobs]![SearchAddressLine1]),Null,[Forms]![SearchJobs]![SearchAddressLine1] & "*")
The full sql of my query is:
Code:
SELECT Jobs.JobsSalesEnquiryRecordNumber, Jobs.JobsJobStatus, Jobs.JobsEnquiryDate, Jobs.JobsTakenBy, ClientDetails.ClientDetailsURN, ClientDetails.ClientDetailsName, ClientDetails.ClientDetailsAddressLine1, ClientDetails.ClientDetailsAddressLine2, ClientDetails.ClientDetailsAddressLine3, ClientDetails.ClientClientPostCode, Jobs.JobsClientJobNumber, Jobs.JobsAlternativeClientJobNumber, Jobs.JobsClientContact,
[Code] ....
I have the following query.
SELECT Table.*, Table.Date
FROM Table
WHERE (((Table.Date) Between [start date] And [end date]));
Is there anyway I can format the box that prompts you for the start and end dates? I would like the format to be, mm/dd/yyyy ? Any help?
Last question.. honest.. maybe ;)
I have a query that prompts the user to display certain/all of the members in my member table. The problem is, using a parameter query in the memberID field only allows the user to send the message to one member, not multiple members. "1 or 2 or 3" or "1,3" obviously don't work.
I've tried creating a form with a list box to select the members (which I;ve done) but obviously you need code and stuff to get it to work which I think will be too complicated. Is there a simpiler way or is the form the only thing that will work?
Thanks

I seem to have run into a snag. I'm pretty sure this would work otherwise:
DLookup(iif(Left( [GenericFieldname1], 4) = "C101","Offered","NOT OFFERED"),"Generic Query")
When I added this field/function to the query, I got #error values and when I clicked on one, I got an error that said:
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error:The object doesn't contain the automation object 'Please Enter Year'.'
I assume the problem is that I have the user filter the report by use of the Like() function for [Year] in the query when the report is accessed. How do I tell the DLookup function to search the column as filtered by the Like() function?
Hi
This is simple im sure but i am a thicky
How do you allow a user to enter a value in a form; have access set that inputted value to a criteria in a query? Then ill have a button to run the query which i can do
thanks

Based on information from a earlier thread.... I created a Union query that pulls information from multiple tables and fields.
SELECT AG_B_R1 as Num FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_B_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_B_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R1 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_m_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_m_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R1 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R2 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL
SELECT AG_e_R3 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll]
UNION ALL SELECT AG_e_R4 FROM dbo_ADC_Ag_e_Res WHERE Rollnmbr=[roll];
And then I created another query to get the STDEV of the above query
SELECT StDev([Num]) AS StDev
FROM Q_cals_ag_bme_STDEV_Union;
The result will be on a subform on my main page. How do I get my form to input the [roll] automatically and requery the subform, showing my result.
Thanks
I have a database with the following information:
FTA # Date Attended Last name First name assigned person......
Each week I need to generate a report that shows the people that attended for that week, grouped by the assigned person. I only want to show the data for a specific "date attended" (i.e. that days date). I figured I first need to generate a query that only returns the data for that specific date in the "date attended" column. I did that but it is manuel by using the criteria field.
Is there an easy way to type in the date that I want the query to use as the criteria?
Thanks
:o
I have this select query.
SELECT DISTINCTROW L160.Date, Avg(L160.Zinc) AS [Avg Of Zinc], Min(L160.Zinc) AS [Min Of Zinc], Max(L160.Zinc) AS [Max Of Zinc], Count(L160.Zinc) AS [Count of Zinc]
FROM L160
GROUP BY L160.Date
HAVING (((L160.Date)=[Forms]![L-160quarterfrm].[Date]));
How do I build a form that would ask the user to input a range of dates for the criteria?
Thanks! :o)
How can I have a user enter the WHERE criteria in the Set Rs statement below.
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [Net] FROM [tblRecap] WHERE [Yr] = 2000 and [Event] = 'lancaster'")
I would like a message box to ask the user to define the [Yr] = and [Event] = fields since they would change from time to time and then pass the values to the OpenRecordset method. Is this possible? Can someone help supply the code?
A parameter query won’t work because when you manipulate these queries in DAO through VBA you need to supply the parameter value before you open the recordset object. If you don’t DAO generates an error.
Here is my code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub ReportFooter_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim ConsqWin As Long
Dim ConsqLoss As Long
Dim tmpWin As Long
Dim tmpLoss As Long
Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [Net] FROM [tblRecap] WHERE [Yr = 2000 and [Event] = 'lancaster'")
Do While Not Rs.EOF
Do While Rs!Net > 1
tmpWin = tmpWin + 1
Rs.MoveNext
If Rs.EOF Then Exit Do
Loop
If Rs.EOF Then Exit Do
If tmpWin > ConsqWin Then ConsqWin = tmpWin
tmpWin = 0
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
Set Rs = Nothing
End Sub
By the way the YR field is a number and not a date so the WHERE clause doesn’t need #2000#
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a customers list that i am always ading to .I need to run a query to see what individual customers have ordered .

I am trying to get my VBA code to dump a query once the user pushes a button. I have the following code to call up the Excel app.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Type BROWSEINFO
hOwner As Long
pidlRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As String
lpszTitle As String
ulFlags As Long
[code]....
The qry_PP_Errors_Union is a Union query. In this query there is a date field. I would like to be able to to use that date field as a parameter. So I have written this VBA to prompt the user for a Begin Date and an End Date.
Code:
Beep
strBegindatemsg = "Enter the beginning date." & vbCrLf & vbLf
strBegindate = InputBox(Prompt:=strBegindatemsg, Title:="Begin Date")
Beep
strEnddatemsg = "Enter the beginning date." & vbCrLf & vbLf
strEnddate = InputBox(Prompt:=strEnddatemsg, Title:="End Date")
Now the part that I am missing is that I am not sure how to make the "strBegindate" and "strEnddate" the criteria for the union query.
The following is the SQL for my union query.
Code:
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, UICError AS Error, "Update and Internal Correspondence" AS Category FROM qry_PP_UIC_Error
UNION
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, BIDError, "Bids" FROM qry_PP_Bid_Error
[Code] ....
Without the criteria, my code works for dumping everything out into Excel. However, dumping all the data results in a 7 mb Excel file that requires manual deletion of the information that is not pertinent.
I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
I am currently creating a form to input new return parts into a database. I am trying to automatically generate a tracking number (##-AA-####-####). I have gotten myself to generate the ##-AA-#### in a list box and almost was able to generate the sequence number, 0001, 0002, etc. using the dmax function. I would like to generate the sequence number one higher than the highest, depending on part type and last 4 digits of part number. Our parts have unique last 4 different p/n but more than one can fall under the same type.

I have a field in a table that has the following data in it:
W-01-2005
W-02-2005
W-03-2005
W-04-2005
etc..
I created a query against this table and put a pop-up on this field so they can enter the search criteria needed, or leave blank for all.
I'd like to modify this pop-up code to ignore the W- and -2005. When the pop-up appears and asks them what week they want, I'd like for them just to enter 01 or 02 or 03 etc... not W-01, W-02 etc..
This is the code I have currently in this field.
Code: Like [Enter Two Digit Week] & "*"
Thanks, Leap!
Hello,
I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Can anyone say what the syntax would be for the "incorrect" statement below?
Like *Mid([checking]![COMPANY NAME],1,InStr([checking]![COMPANY NAME]," "))*
As the statement above doesnt work, just returns errors.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Im having a little problem with the following code in one of my queries
Expr1: IIf(IsNull([Forms]![editLookForm]![Company_Name]),True,[Company Name]=[Forms]![editLookForm]![Company_Name])
What this does is, it take an typed entry from the form (editlookform) and seaches for that entry in the query
i want to add wildcard entrys to this so that the person operating doesnt have to know the complete company name - i just dont know where to put them
Help please
I am running a query that links to a "wildcard" form so that the user can basically run a query filtered on any field they want.
For some reason when I try to use wildcards along with Criteria in my query the query will not return any results. I know the link to the textbox is right because if I take out the wildcard and put an exact word from the table I get a result.
I have tried using many different combinations inclusive of the following:
Like [Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]
Like "[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]"
"[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]"
[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]
Any help would be appreciated, as always thank you ahead of time.
I have several queries looking up products from a table. I use a simple form to access the query and in the criteria of the field I use [Forms]![EnterCroft]![ProductName] to filter by name. (EnterCroft is the name of the form).
It works fine but doesn't like the asterisk (*) for all products.
I also want to use wildcard before and after key words in the product names, eg *cup* for anything with CUP in it's name.
How can I do this?
Thank you very much.
ok in access 2003 i have tried everything to get the Like "*oak*" to work but to all fail it replaces "Like" with "ALike" i have tried to find some info on this but have not it seams like something easy i wanted to do.
