Jul 29, 2005Hi,
Is there a way to get blank fields to sort to the bottom rather than the top when sorting alphabetically in access?
TIA!

Hi
I have created a query which sorts store information by potential opening dates...however, some of the stores are so new there are no potential opening dates as yet.
I would like the stores with blank opening dates to appear at the bottom but when sorting by ascending (which is what I need) these blank dates appear at the top... is there any way around this?
thanks
I have a list of employees and sort criteria. for example
empID....Criteria
1234......T
1234......F
1234......T
1234......F
1235......F
1236......T
1236......F
1236......F
1236......F
1236......T
1236......T
1237......F
The output I am looking for is a count of the number of times T appears by an employee, BUT is there is no record it would return 0
E.G.
empID......Count
1234...........2
1235...........0
1236...........3
1237...........0
I can get it to return:
empID......Count
1234...........2
1236...........3
using Count and the criteria Where Criteria="T" but not returning zeros.
A quick question... is it possible to sort a table by a memo field? I have a table and am able to sort by other, non-memo fields, however when I place my cursor in the memo fielld I would like to sort, the sorting option becomes 'greyed-out'. Is there a way around this?

There must be an easy answer to this! I have searched the forums but have not found what I need to make this work the way I want it to. I have a three part reference field. The records in the form are supposed to be sorted into ascending order Field1 first, then Field2 and finally Field3. The forms RecordSource is a query that brings through the relevant fields from my table. I have the query sorted according to these three fields so that every time I open the database it sorts the way I want it to. What I want to do is have a button that will sort the records into the correct order when the buttion is clicked. I am sure this can be done, but cannot get it to work on more than one field at a time! Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciatted.
Thanks
Is it possible to sort a continuous form by two fields?
ie. If two records have the same value in one field, look at the second field to see which one is displayed first.
I was thinking that it might help to combine the two text boxes into one (a not visible text box) and sort it by that, but I don't know how to sort by an unbound, not visible text box either...
Any suggestions?
cheers, joe
I have a form I would like to sort by:
first - by App_Flag (a yes/no field) - have all the clients with "yes" on top
second - by App_Date - from the earliest to the latest
The query sorts it fine but the form does not - even if I requery the form (added a requery button).
Can a macro or coding make it sort it the way I need it?
I am using the following by Allen Browne to sort one field. But now I need to sort on two fields.
Code:
Function SortForm(frm As Form, ByVal sOrderBy As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo Err_SortForm 'Provided by Allen Browne
'Purpose: Set a form's OrderBy to the string. Reverse if already set.
'Return: True if success.
'Usage: Command button above a column in a continuous form:
' Call SortForm(Me, "MyField")

I have a split form with 10-15 fields. Each of these fields is a combo box. The trouble I am having is sorting the data in the datasheet of the split for. I want to sort ascending by "ProductTypeName", then ascending by "Parent SKU" and then ascending by "ProductSizeID".
How can I do this when each of my combo boxes have an ID and then a name? Example below:
ProductTypeID
ProductTypeName
1
Apron - Bib
2
Apron - Waist
3
Bag - Backpack
4
Chef Coat

Basically i have a mortgage application system which im running a query on to see which applications have been completed in the last week or period up to now ie. last week, last month, last 3 months.
basically each application or CaseID has one or more applicants. The majority of them have two applicants. A few have one.
Problem is when i run this query which shows me: - CaseID, CLIENTNAME, LENDER, PRODUCT, MORTGAGE RATE, LOAN AMOUNT -
it brings up these fields but i only want one occurence of each CaseID????
CaseID Forenames Surnames PRODUCT RATEDateCompletedLoan required

Ive taken up this existing system, so i think there's possibly a normalisation problem thats causing this. But i need a quick fix for now rather than redesign the whole system.
I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.
Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.
Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.
Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?
I'm trying to find the best way to organize a report that will have ALOT of fields for an individual record. Because it is for an individual record not a group of records (and I want it to be dynamic) I'm thinking of doing a filter & query to fill in report with necessary details. This report is going to contain ALOT of fields, even the wizard that I used based on the query said that there were too many fields, but I can't cut down.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi - I have what maybe a relatively easy problem to solve.
I have a list of locations each with a unique id. I also have another table with location details in it. There is a relationship setup between the two tables. However in the first table I have some locations that do not have a match in the second table. Therefore that field is left blank. When create a query to show information from the two tables, any records that have a blank location match field do not get shown in the output. Is there anyway to display records with blank fields?
Thanks

In an Input form, how can I blank out certain fields such that the field data is shown, but grayed out, and other fields are shown normally?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a class roster report in which the Employees' names are concatenated in a text box. When I select to sort the concatenated names alphabetically, it is sorting by the Unique ID, which is a letter and four numbers. The letter used to match the last name, but newer IDs are random. So most names are still in order, but some are not.
The Employee field Row Source is:
SELECT [Last_Name] & ", " & [First_Name] AS Employee, tbl_AM_Operators.User_ID FROM tbl_AM_Operators ORDER BY [Last_Name] & ", " & [First_Name];
What do I need to change to have the Employees' names alphabetized on the report?
I am a firefighter who has been tasked with creating a database to track repairs and inventory on breathing apparatus(SCBA). There are several(5) related pieces of equipment that I think should go on the same table. Three of these will have nearly identical fields. The other two will have additional field specific to them. Should I create one table including all five pieces and just leave the extras fields blank or is there a better way.
Thanks.

Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:

I was wondering if there is a way to stop displaying fields on a form which contain spaces or blank values. I m using a query that takes data from a table named School
I have a table which have 5 fields. lets say: Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5
My fields from 1 to 3 have data but field4 and field5 do not have a value in it. What i wish to achieve is to show only those fields which have a value in it. Blank or field with spaces must not be displayed. Is It Possible.

I have pop up form for report selection. In my drop down i have certain reports that need to have start and end date.
I'm using this formula to show or hide start date field and end date field.
If Not [Report_Selection] = "VehiclesNotRecovered" Then
StartDate.Visible = True
EndDate.Visible = True
Else
StartDate.Visible = False
EndDate.Visible = False
End If
I would like to give the user a pop message to warn him/her fill in the start and end date field when selecting reports other than VehiclesNotRecovered.
If startdate and enddate fields not filled in and they run a report - they will get an #error message.
Thanks,
Michael
I am setting up a form with a few tables in it.
I want each table to relate to the form.
When the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked I want all the values of each table recorded even if there were no values put in the boxes.
For example if there is no value added to the field boxes in say half the tables I want the default value to be recorded as blank or zero so that each table has the same Autonumber associated with the other tables in the form.
What is the best way to do this?

:confused: I have a Text box on a Form that copies data entered into other Text boxes on the same form.
Sometimes there may be the odd text box that does not have any data in it.
Is there anyway that I can put in code so that the blank text boxes are not copied into the main text box i.e. Only the populated text boxes are to be copied.
Thankyou for any assistance that you can provide.:eek:

Hi,
Im trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel. I use the wizard and I get the sheet imported. The only problem is that I get additional blank fields in my table in Access. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I want to keep on importing into the same table, so these useless empty fields keep on accumulating.
Any help?
Thanx,
Stacey
I need to create a bunch of new records that will contain some existing data and some blank fields.... what I want it to look like:
ACCOUNT | NUMBER | PERIOD | AMOUNT
4G334223 123-224-2212 1/1/2006
4G334223 123-233-2334 1/1/2006
What I want is the query to pull the account and number from the db, then add the date in automatically (not the current date, just a specified criteria to signify jan 06, feb 06,etc) and leave the amount field blank (which I will then add in the corresponding values manually).
I have a query that gets data from a table now not all fields are filled in, in this table, and the query only shows data that has all fields filled and i need it to show them all
