I created a form and want to ascend two columns by date order. Example 1st column has dates from Sept. 05 and Nov 05 and the second column has dates Aug. 05 and Oct 05. How do I get the form to merge these two columns so that the date order is Aug, Sept, Oct and November.

I have a confusing situation. I have a need of creating a combobox which displays records from different tables.
Eg.
I have a table called "house parts" and filled with records like
room, hall, garage
Secondly i have a table called "Parts" and filled with
floor, ceiling, lamp, window etc.
As u see, "house parts" could consist of "Parts" like "room" could have floor, ceiling etc.
I need to create a query that shows me all the records from "house parts" and also "Parts" in the same list.
Can anyone help me please
NEVER MIND--- I FIGURED IT OUT:o
I have a table with two columns.
FIRST LAST
James Jones
R Kevin Foster
When I use this:
Left(FIRST,1) & " " & LAST AS Expr1
I get: James Jones
R Foster
Is there a way to correct this so R Foster comes back as R Kevin Foster?
Hi
im trying to combine the
Forename Column and Surname column so i can produce another column which is initial surname eg
Matthew | Williamson | M Williams
Kevin | smith | K Smith
how do i do this ive completely gone blank!!!!!! :(((
The problem I'm having is that i need to combine 12 tables with multiple columns and not all columns have the same headers. So if a column is present it should be updated, if not it should be added.
The end result should be one column with all records and all columns that exists in all 12 tables.
The tables have an identifier that is the same for all columns (supplier reference).
Table 1 has 56 columns
Table 2 has 42 columns (of which some have the same header)
....
(--doing every column manually is something i would like to avoid if possible --)
So i have a access database with a main field that we can call vendor # (LIFNR) and another called Company code (BUKRS). There are multiple company codes under a single vendor #. Example:
LIFNR
BUKRS
0000010535
1010
0000010535
5060
0000010535
5610
0000010536
1010
0000010536
5060
0000010536
5610
What I am trying to do is create a 3rd column where i can have a unique row for each of these fields without it repeating. There is no unique identifier in this table and that is what i am trying to achieve.
Hi,
I am trying to create a general date field by combinging a date (short date) and time (medium time) field. The fields are named recDate and recTime for the two I am combining, and cmbDateTime for the result field.
When I run the query, the result I receive is an errror stating that it is a data type mismatch.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Jake
how can I combine two text fields and format them as a date.
Text Field 1: Jan
Text Field 2: 2014
I have a table called Packages, in this table I have multiple fields with just short dates example of fields (ID), (Home_1), (Home_2), (Home_3) and (Home_4). What I was wondering is there a way to comine all of the Home fields into one for the purpose of counting the number of dates for all the records. Total number of dates of all the Home fields? I am using Access 2010

I don't quite know where to ask this...
i didn't think things through when i initially created the DB, and created a column called dateOfBirth that holds user entered dates as dd/mm/yyyy.
This causes many query issues, and I would LOVE to have this changed.
Is there a script i can run that will take dateOfBirth, determine the month, write the month as Jan/Feb/Mar/... in a column named dobMonth, and take the day value from dateOfBirth (1-31) to a column called dobDay?
BEFORE:
dateOfBirth |
23/10/00 |
After
dateOfBirth | dobDay | dobMonth|
23/10/00 | 23 | Oct |
I don't care about the "year" data, and I already have the dobDay and dobMonth columns set up...
Thanks.
basically I have two date columns in one of my tables. One is created whenever a record is created in that table the other is added to that record later based on business rules. I need to get all records in the table where the first date exists but not the second. I'm unsure of how to write a query specifying that the second date column must be empty.

I want to make the default value of my column "TimeonOW" to be the difference in months(past 12) from the entered date in "OWStartDate" and the current system date.
For for example
mm/dd/yyyy
CurrentDate - OWStartDate = TimeonOW
07/01/2007 - 05/01/2005 = 26
I played around with the DateDiff function but to no avail.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[OWStartDate])
=DateDiff("d",Now(),#2004-31-12#) etc
The reason behind this is because I need to count how many people fall into different month span categories, maybe theres a better way?
Thanks in advance.
I have a database that tracks students and their test scores. I am trying to figure out a way to where it will pull the student's latest test score and compare it to see if they fall within standards. So far I have 3 tables.
tblStudents
studentID
studentName
studentEmail
tblResults
resultID
resultStudent
resultDate
resultTest
resultScore
tblTests
testID
testName
testPassScore
The query I have written looks like this: SELECT tblStudents.studentID, Max(tblResults.resultDate) FROM tblStudents LEFT JOIN tblResults ON tblStudents.studentID = tblResults.resultStudent GROUP BY tblStudents.studentID." The data pulls just fine at this point. What I'm trying to figure out is how to then add more columns to this query to start doing comparisons. When I try to add more columns it tries to use them for additional grouping and adds many more records.
Having built a database that tracks projects across their lives, I've now been asked it I can identify the latest status of the project in a "quick view"
The table "All Projects" has columns that list the Project Number; Project Title; Project Manager and further colunms that list dates that the various stages of the project were achieved. i.e. Start Date; Date Milestone 1 Completed; Date Milestone 2 completed etc.
The projects are such that Milestone 5 may be completed before Milestone 2 and so on, so I need to be able to identify which Milestone was the last to be completed.
I thought of trying an IIF but the progress across the Milestones isn't logical so it won't work. I found something on the Internet about "Greatest" being used on some other program (not Access), which Access didn't like at all!
If the requirement had been given before starting building the db, I would have done everything differently, but I have no real desire to go back to stage 1 and start again, so how or if it's possible to find the highest / latest date relevant to the Project Number across the row of data ?
How do you return the most recent date of multiple columns.
I have a table (tbl_courses) that has a list of training courses. We want to know when a client completed the course most recently.
The problem is, for one course there has been up to 4/5 different variations of the course with different names over the years. E.g. "Drug awareness" has also been known as "Drug Aware" "Illegal Substances" and "Stoppers". I want to pull through the most recent date for all of the above.
We have a field in the Courses table that links the courses into groups (e.g. All drug aware courses come under "23"). Not sure if that works?
Is there a way to do this? The Tbl_Courses is linked to Tbl_Clients via a ClientID.
I've managed to do it in SQL using GREATEST() but that isn't an option in Access.
I want to create the date from multiple columns to single colums. Just for example
table 1 (local purchase)
Itemname Date
Apple 12/01/2013
Mango 13/01/2013
Table 2 (Import purchase)
Item Name DAte
Apple 12/04/2013
Mango 08/06/2013
Now i want to make one query, which can you the date as follows when we give criteria = apple
Item Name Date purchase mode
Apple 12/01/2013 local
Apple 12/04/2013 Import
Means two dates from different table into one query column... One way in my mind to make one table for both tables.

I am trying to find the latest date in a table where the dates are in 2 separate columns and multiple rows. (there are business reasons why there are 2 dates per row they represent different but comparable activities)
I have a table "Assessment tracker" with the following structure
Name Type
Candidate short text
Unit short text
EV1 Date Date
EV2 Date Date
My Data:
Candidate Unit EV1Date EV2 Date
TH1 10 07/05/2015 25/05/15
TH1 10 07/05/2015 07/06/15
I have a query "Candidate AC Dates" that compares the 2 dates EV1 and EV2 and outputs a 3rd column with the latest date.
Query:
PARAMETERS [Candidate Name] Value;
SELECT [Assessment Tracker].Candidate, [Assessment Tracker].Unit, [Assessment Tracker].[EV1 Date], [Assessment Tracker].[EV2 Date], Max(MaxDate([Assessment Tracker]![EV1 Date],[Assessment Tracker]![EV2 Date])) AS Achdate
FROM UnitData INNER JOIN [Assessment Tracker] ON UnitData.Unit = [Assessment Tracker].Unit
[Code]....
Output:
CandidateUnitEV1 DateEV2 DateAchdate
TH11007/05/2015 25/05/201525/05/2015
TH11007/05/2015 07/06/201507/06/2015
It does this by using a function shamelessly copied from the web somewhere...
Function Maxdate(ParamArray FieldArray() As Variant)
' Declare the two local variables.
Dim I As Integer
Dim currentVal As Date' Set the variable currentVal equal to the array of values.
currentVal = FieldArray(0)
' Cycle through each value from the row to find the largest.
[Code]....
This is working well (I think)
I then want to find the latest date for the 2 records i.e. the Max value for the Achdate.
Query:
SELECT [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate AS Expr1, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit AS Expr2, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) AS MaxOfAchdate
FROM [Candidate AC Dates]
GROUP BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit
ORDER BY [Candidate AC Dates].Candidate, [Candidate AC Dates].Unit, Max([Candidate AC Dates].Achdate) DESC;
But this is returning
Candidate Unit MaxOfAchdate
TH1 1025/05/2015
I expect it to return
Candidate UnitMaxOfAchdate
TH1 10 07/06/2015
It looks to me like MAX is considering only the day value rather than the whole date. I suspect this is because it is considering the results of the function in the first query as a short text rather than a date field. (I've tried to force this through declaring the variables as dates but don't know where else to force this. (I am UK based hence the DD/MM/YYYY format)
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
Example:
original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
Currently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?
I'm affraid my confusing topic title is an indicator of how confused I am by this. I can't even understand the variables well enough to fully utilize Access Help or the Search function here...
What I have is a database hat has column headers that look something like this:
Customer_Name, Order_Date, Qty_Ord, Unit_Price, Total_Price
What I'm trying to get is a query output that will have
Customer_Name, Total Orders (in Dollars) for January, Total Orders (in Dollars) for February, Total Orders (in Dollars) for March, etc.
I've been able to set it up to SUM for one month, but not multiples.
I know I'm totally lame (for proof read any of my previous posts) but you guys totally bailed me out the other time I asked a lame question.
Thanks in advance!
I have a question that I don't know how to really explain, so here is an example of the table I have:
35510157.32
355102267.44
35510372
The first column (35) is Employee ID.
The second column (5101) represents a certain time code.
And the Last Column (57.32) represents an amount of time.
I am trying to create a query that puts the data like this:
3557.32267.4472
There is about 3500 different Employee ID's and each ID can have up to 10 different time codes. Is there a way of doing this without doing a Make Table or Update query?
My application links to 3 mdb (eg. 1a.mdb, 2b.mdb, 3c.mdb) backend database.
It works as the following: if an order is placed by a company (public sale), the order will be stored in 1a.mdb, if the order is for private sale, the order will be stored in 2b.mdb. The items for public sale are stored in 1a.mdb, the items for private sale are stored in 2b.mdb. It means an order cannot combine both public and private sales, but in fact this always an issue. 3c.mdb is used for storing common data, such as customer details.
Now I would like to create an order that includes both public and private sales. How I can do that? Do I have to combine 1a.mdb and 2b.mdb into 1 database?
Any suggestion is welcome.
I was wondering how to go about combining both Access and SQL together.
Am I going to write the SQL codes in VB and then Access will know how to combine the tables I've created with the SQL codes?
Thanks in advance!!

I need to know how to combine two records. What I have is a text file that is imported into a table. The problem is, the text file has 4 fields on one line then 3 fields on the next line. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one record? I do not want to do this in the text file. I want to import the file and run some code to combine the two records into one record, delete the second line, and go to the next two records. What can I do? Sorry for any spelling but I have to run. Thanks for any help.
