I've got a query pulling data from a view I created that gives all the data I need. The query gets it's criteria from a form with 10 combo boxes, a radio box with 3 options and 2 date fields for the timeframe to run the report in.
The issue:
over half the columns of data that the radio buttons can limit results by have null values but only two of the columns are excluding records where the values in them are null. As any combination of the combo boxes are null I'm using the following format for my criteria per column
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]),[Installer_from_Web],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption])
That is an example of a column that works, the following is a column that is excluding null values no matter what I do
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]),[ProductType],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption])
I am not seeing the error and could use some thoughts.
Code: SELECT Reference, InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField FROM MyTable WHERE (Reference ='ShouldBeOut' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
It returns 3 rows, with values in MyField of 0, 23 and 355.
Now I add 1 more where clause to filter on MyField and the query looks like this:
Code: SELECT Reference, InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField FROM MyTable WHERE (Reference ='ShouldBeOut' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2') AND ( InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) > 0 )
So, you would think that it should return 2 values (ShouldBeIn1 and 2), but it doesn't. It only return the value where the Instr returns value of 23. The one with the value of 355 also disappears. Why would that be? Surely Instr does not return a byte?
Why does my sub form which is contained in a Tab, not display unless a certain field is populated with something? It's not a required field. Infact it is one of two identical fields... a relationship and a lookup to another table. It doesn't matter if the second one if filled in or not. Just this one. The record is in the database, I choose from a drop down in the header... and the subform then requeries and displays the information. However, unless this 1 field is filled in.. the subform remains blank. It is getting on my nerves!!
I have an entry Form which is used to record prospective new members of a society in a Table named 'Foreigners' in a Membership Database using Access 2010. The entry form also records the name of the 'Interest Group' to which the prospective member is initially affiliated.
On entering this Group Name, selected from a drop down list from the Groups Table, The Group ID & Leader Member ID are automatically recorded.
However, I don't wish to record the Leader Member ID, what I wish to record is the Leader's Member Name which is identified by that ID in the related 'Mail List' Table.
In the Properties sheet the relevant source for this field is shown as Leader, but what is displayed is the Leader ID...
I have created a Query to search for clients in my database, the query and the search all work fine, however it would be nice to have the query post the results into a form I have created to display clients data rather than posting the results in a tables view.
Hello. I have a problem which has me stymied. I have created a Query-by-Form in which the criteria for the query is two combo boxes. I had no problems setting that up, but I want to display the results of this query in another form. I know this is possible, but do I need code for this? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
In the attached db (both 2K and 97 ver) there is one form. Fill in the Date with 12/01/04 and the Start with 12/01/04 and Stop with 12/31/04. Press the Run Query button. The query is displayed...
How can I do it so on button press the form is filled with the query results?
Hi, I am not much familiar with VB Coding.Can any body please help me with this Please:When i click on submit button,it has to show the query results on the Form.Please find the below code:

Forgive me for what may sound like a dum question -- Access is completely new to me.
I have my table. I have this displayed as a form.
At the bottom of the form, I have a text box and a command button.
The user enters in a key value. The command button triggers a macro that runs a query.
Now, I'd like the form to display the data returned from the query. How?
I tried creating a new form with its Record Source set to the query. I had the macro close the original form, run the query and open the new form. But before the new form could be opened, Access prompted me for a 'parameter value' (I assume so that the query could be run again).
I searched the archives and Access Help and couldn't quite find the answer to this question, which is no doubt simple.
I have a form showing Projects with an embedded subform showing all the Buildings associated with a given project. In the form footer section of the subform, I would like to display summary information about the buildings in the project being displayed, such as count of buildings, count of residential buildings, count of commercial buildings, and so on, and I would like these summary values to update as users add or change building information.
I know how to write the SQL query to pull this information, but do I use a text box or some other vehicle to do this? Using a text box as a calculated control, I was able to produce the count of buildings using:
= COUNT([UnitID])
To get the count of residential buildings, I need to be able to specify "WHERE bldgtypeID = 'R'"...I can't get the text box to display results of an SQL statement. Can text boxes handle SQL statements?
I have one table of records that I would like to query and display the results. I have created a form that asks the user for criteria for the query (search). Then I want to display the results from that query in another form (results). The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do it.
The results form is using the query as its source. I have tried running the search and then opening the results form, but I get a message saying that I tried to lock the table but it was in use.
Is there a way to link these forms so that i can bring up the search form, perform the search, and have the results brought up in the results form?
Hi, hope this is a reasonable thing for semi-beginner to intermediate person to do.
Our MS Access 2000 db shared on a server stores projects, categories of projects, clients, contractors doing the projects. Contractors are offered projects within their chosen categories based on their order on the list (last company who was offered a contract goes to bottom of list, like that).
Currently we print out a phone list of the contractors (in desc. date order of the most recent offer accepted or refused), then we phone down the list until someone accepts. Later we enter all those offers in order on frmOffers to store the date & time stamp of that offer.
Problem is, several contracts can be on offer on a given day, so when a company accepts/declines Project A, that company is still showing as high on the (paper) list for Project B. So when we have 3 people phoning they don't know they've offered multiple contracts to the same company this morning.
Is it possible for a form "Offers" to be based on a query that keeps updating like that? For example, you open frmProject to display details of a certain Project, cmd button to open frmOffers (continuous form, showing all offers so far with company, phone #, "accept"/"decline" & date/time stamp). Then, when you tab to the next record, can you have it show which company is next in line (even as the person beside you has updated their frmOffers in the meantime)?
Would you need to have a separate table storing only the most recent offer for each company? If so, how would you get that updated all the time?
Anything you could offer to point me in the right direction would be very much appreciated!!
I have a query which totals the amount of all invoices for a specific project number. I would like to take this total and have it displayed on the form from where overall project information is inputed.
Right now I have a table which shows general project information and a table showing invoice infomation (linked to the general table via a project #)
I also have two forms, one for general info and there's a button which opens the invoice form. When the invoice form opens, it opens an invoice with the corresponding project number shown on the general form. I would like the total invoice amount (from the query) displayed on the corresponding general form.
ex: in the general form for project# 100, I click invoice once and enter $50, I click invoice again and enter $100. The query automatically shows a total of $150 for project# 100. I would like this $150 displayed on the general form for quick reference.
Ok, I know you guys have heard about this problem quiet a few times, my search told me that. But my problem has a bit of a twist. The message appeared when I tried to open the database yesterday, so I went to the backups and tried to open them. All the backups for the past month give the same message. The problem is with the FE only, the BE is working fine. The backups are connected to the same workgroup as the FE and BE. Has anyone seen this before and know what might of happened?
I have tried numerous things to try and create a pop up message or form to alert users of a timing conflict in a scheduling program. I am not real familiar with codes and am not sure how to handle this.
I used Jason Browne's web site to help me construct a query that will list a result of time conflicts (ie some project is scheduled to occur before another one is completed). What I need to have happen is the alert message or form opens when this conflict occurs but does nothing when the timing is ok.
I am not very familiar with code and am having a road block mentally. All help is appreciated!
I have a form that I am trying to show in a text box the results of a count query. The query has two fields in which one is a check box. The criteria for the text box field is set to true to list all that are checked. I want the query to show all the records that are true. This works if I run the query, but the result isn't showing in my text box on the form. On the form text box properties in Control source I have =DLookUp("[Run Number]","Control Room Drumctqry"). Run Number is the field that I am counting, Control Room Drumctqry is the query. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks,

Hi, I have created a form (Form1) based on a table (Table1) and also a Query based on this table (Query1). I calculate a field in the query (Expr1: [column1] + [column2]) Now i have created a text box on Form1 that should display Expr1. I know I could also calculate the value directly via the expression builder, but I would prefer to simply display Expr1 from my query. Which is the syntax I have to use in the Expression Builder? I tried "= [Query1]![Expr1]" but it does not work. Thanks for your help Tigrou
I am trying to allow end-users to only use buttons to navigate and display records in my database (so they don't know access is in the background) I have query that runs when they press a button but after they run it there is no way to get back to the main interface screen i.e. there is not a place to put another button and close the query. I was looking into creating a form to display the query results in datasheet view but it is not appearing the way I want. I inserted a subform and the results got better but I also do not like the way it displays because the user can see the subform, simple solution to get my data to display in the form so a user can view the results similar to datasheet view?
Essentially I have a table for rooms around my school and what the rooms contain. Most of the details for the rooms are Boolean (e.g. If the room has a projector, Yes/No).
So what I am trying to do is have a form where i can select a checkbox(s) and if i tick one, a query that holds all the room details will only show rooms with projectors in them, which i can then display those results in another form.
My question is how do I get the check boxes in the form to narrow down the room results to only show the ones with the criteria i have selected in the form?
I have a form that displays multiple records in datasheet view. I want to query off of that form and return all results for all records being displayed. However, I'm not sure how to tell Access to do this. Access instead wants to return records for only the first displayed record in the form or the record that is highlighted by the cursor.
In the attached image you can see a list of AccountingUnits (AU) going down. My query using AU from the form as criteria will only return records for AU 114510 since it is the first record, but I would like to see records for all AU's being displayed by the form. How can I do this?
Hello , I had incountered with a huge problem in my project and I need your help guys. I have a huge table contains alot of data about many people- I wanted the data will be checked and sent to a query. Here is an example for a little project beacuse I couldn't have the big one. (This example works fine) My big project is pretty the same but after I try to get the query out I get an error that the query is too complex....(It's really too big when you have 20texts to be checked with 9000 fields) If you check the query fields you may see how the OR is getting separted and because every text has OR statement everything is hanged by everything. Someone told me that I can't use query options and mannge it and I should use VB SELECT option - but I can't make it work too. So I can't show you the real example at all beacsue I can't have it to my computer and It will take alot of time to have 9000 different cells ; SO if someone knows what I am talking about and ever encoutered it , I would be really thankful ! (Also - You may see some problems with the OR ("") but I mannged it to work with the BIG project so it doesn't matter) I don't want you to focus the conditions but just the problem itself ...." the query is too complex"...
This one is a pain in the but. I tried everything, but why would it just won't work. It always says the query is to complex. Have included the database, anyone a solution?
I need to perform a query on a database (not designed by me) that is not normalized. In fact it is only one table with numerous fields (many of them Date/Time). I need to query the table based on the date fields only.
Basically the table is used to track when specific functions are completed to determine the time required to perform the individual tasks (accuracy to one day is acceptable) and find the ones which are falling behind. Since several individuals are required to complete each project each step has an average value (based on historical data.)
The following is a short narrative:
1. Step 1 is scheduled for 1/5/05 and the task is not started untill 1/7/05. This is not acceptable. There is a 1 day window. I need to flag this record (via report) if the start date exceeds the schedule date by more than 1 day. If a start date has been entered this record does not need flagged (regardless of the alloted time).
2. Step 2 is based on the amount of time alloted to complete the task once started. If the task takes more than 2 days the project needs to be included in the query for the report. As above, if the date is entered the record is not needed since there is no need to try to determine the when the project will start.
3. Step 3 measures the number of days from the project completion untill the product is sent to the central office. If the time exceeds 2 days the record needs to be included in the dataset. Again, once a date is entered in the received field there is no need to include the record.
There are a couple more steps but they follow the same criteria as the first three.
I have not been able to figure out how to get these requirements entered into the query design view.
The query I'm trying to get is: Who owes me money for the service and How much.
Each car had several treatments in the past and some have missed a payment or I didn't notice and just issued a new order.
I need a query that runs through the entire database, does a summary of all the amount owed to me per Car, and then deducts the total payments made per Car. If the balance is > than Zero,. Show me that car and the bottom line amount.
