Feb 5, 2006I am not sure if this is possible so here it goes:
I have been writing a little query that collects data to batchprint invoices. I want to add some criteria for the user
I have one criteria on the invoice date: between [start date] and [end date]

[enter invoice number]
I would like the user to have the possibility to leave the invoice number field empty which should then print all invoices for a certain date
Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Queries :: Display Empty Rows For Missing Data
Jul 28, 2014I'm trying to make a sub form that displays the hours of an employee selected in a listbox. I've got most of it working but having a bit of an issue.
The info for thre query is in 3 tables:
tblStaff (name etc)
tblShifts (start and end times for days that this employee works)
tblDays (a list of days names so I can use numbers elsewhere)
My query looks like this:
Code:
SELECT tblDays.dayName, IIf(Nz([startTime],"")="","NWD",[startTime]) AS start, IIf(Nz([endTime],"")="","NWD",[endTime]) AS [end], tblStaff.staffName
FROM tblDays LEFT JOIN (tblStaff RIGHT JOIN tblShifts ON tblStaff.staffPK = tblShifts.staffFK) ON tblDays.dayPK = tblShifts.workingDay
WHERE (((tblStaff.staffName)=[Forms]![frmMain]![lst_myTeam] Or (tblStaff.staffName) Is Null));
This worked fine with a single user and some test data - it correctly displayed all days of the week, with start/end times on Mon and Tues where I had entered shift information, and "NWD" against all other days.
However, when I add a couple more employees to the mix it shows the correct info for the first employee, but anybody else it will only display days where person 1 doesn't have any hours. I haven't entered any hours for the new employees, but the query should still display Mon-Sun with NWD in every column. It shows Wed-Sun but Mon and Tues are missing.
I've tried different join types but they all come back with "ambiguous joins" error when I try to run.
WHERE Clause On LEFT JOIN : Why Do I Get Join Expression Not Supported Message?
Nov 10, 2006I've been toiling with the issue of WHERE clauses on the "Right" side of Left Joins. I'm aware that you need to use JOIN ON......AND.... rather than JOIN ON....WHERE.... if the WHERE relates to the Right Hand table.
I've even got an example in my DB where the above works, but now am struggling to use the same theory for other tables. Therefore, I went and created two Mickey Mouse tables to test the logic but am getting an error.
I have
Table 1 with one field called Field 1 - values A, B, C
Table 2 as follows
Field 1.....Field 2.......Field 3
A.............100
C.............200..........XXX
I hoped to have a query that finds all records on Table 1 and records on Table 2 where Field 1 matches on the two tables and Field3 = XXX
My SQL is
SELECT Table1.Field1, Table2.Field1, Table2.Field2, Table2.Field3
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1
AND Table2.Field3="XXX";
but I get Join Expression not supported
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Display Message When No Data Is Found
Apr 11, 2006I have a macro in the On No Data event of a report that displays a message when the item number a user requests does not exist in the table being queried.
Now I need to get the same functionality in a form. The form is based on a parameter query with only one criteria [Please enter item number]. The form opens in Edit mode when a valid item number is entered.
I see that there is no On No Data event for either forms or queries, so I'm stumped on how to proceed.
Any and all assistance is appreciated.

strDetails = DLookup("Details", "ExistingDeviceDetailsQ")
Dim strCurve As String
strCurve = DLookup("PCurve", "DeviceT", "DeveloperProduct = '" & Forms!DeviceF!D_ExistingDeviceCmb & "'")
If strCurve = "No" Then
MsgBox strDetails, , "Device Details"
[code]....
I get the error "Object variable or With block variable not set" on the line
image = DLookup("PowerCurve", "DeviceT", "DeveloperProduct = '" & Forms!DeviceF!D_ExistingDeviceCmb & "'")

Display Message In Detail Form When No Records Present
May 2, 2005The record source of a form that I have is based on a user selection in a combo box in the header of the form. When the form opens there may or may not be any records to display. Currently I put up a message box when there are no records displayed but this only happens when the form is newly opened.
I was wondering if it is possible to have a label displayed in the detail section instead whenever there are no records to display, such as something along the lines of "There are no records to display with the selected option, please choose an alternative.".
I realise that I may be asking the impossible but I'm a member of the "If you don't ask you'll never know" club.

View 1 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Display Cell (B1) Value In Sheet1 Of All Workbooks In Message Box
Feb 24, 2014I have a form and there is a command button on it. I want the code that will run when that commandbutton is pressed and it should check the first sheet "Sheet1" in all the workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp.
And if the first sheet name is not "sheet1" then just ignore that workbook and move to next workbooks. If the first sheet name is "Sheet1" in a workbook then display the value present in cell B1 in a message box.
So if there are 5 workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp and two of them hasn't got first sheet named "Sheet1" then display value of B1 in rest of the 3 sheets in a message box one by one.
Modules & VBA :: If User Selects Wrong Value / Display Message
Feb 23, 2015I have a field that is pre filled in with a value. The name is "Business".Then there is a combo box with various values. If the user would select a value that does not match with values that can be selected if in "business" a value is selected, it should show a message that the selection is wrong and user needs to select the correct one.
Example:If in the field "Business" the value "Food" is selected, then the possible values to be selected in the combobox would be: Fruit or Meet or Fast Food. If the value in "Business" would be "Wood" only selections could be made: Talble or Chair or Cabinet.So, if a user select "Food' in "Business" and in the combo box "Chair", it should show a message that the wrong selection was made and don't let them use the wrong one.
Forms :: Find Button - Message Box To Display No Results Found
Sep 26, 2013I am not sure where to start or go about creating message box that would display "No results found" if my queries return no results. My search of the forums hasn't been fruitful.
I have created one form that has a text box and a button that works as a search function to run through the tables and displays the applicable queries. Currently, if no results are returned nothing happens. Preferably I would like a message box to display stating that there were "No results found". I would assume that the code would be associated with the "Find" button. Here is the VBA code as it stands, again, I haven't even attempted to add code for a message box.
Private Sub Find_Click()
On Error GoTo Find_Click_Err
If DCount("Heading", "Service Desk Manual Query") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Service Desk Manual Query", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
End If
[Code] .....
Find_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
Find_Click_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume Find_Click_Exit
Error Message To Display On Entry Of Duplicate Value With Two Fields As Index?
Jun 27, 2011I was using the following code on a field (ItemCode) that was indexed to prevent duplication of records. The intent is that the user will get an error message that a duplicate exists before they enter all the data for the record and get the built in error message that Access 2003 provides when an index violation has occurred.
Code:
Private Sub ItemCode_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Answer As Variant
Answer = DLookup("[ItemCode]", "tblQuestions", "[ItemCode] = '" & Me.ItemCode & "'")
If Not IsNull(Answer) Then
MsgBox "Item Code already exists" & vbCrLf & "Please enter unique Item Code.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True
Me.ItemCode.Undo
Else:
End If
End Sub
Now, the index for this is based on two fields (ItemCode and Question Group). I would like to display the same message before update but don't know how to include the second field in the syntax.
Modules & VBA :: Display Last Record Next To Empty Space On Current Record
May 6, 2015I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
Records:
Date | Temp
2014 | 20.5
2013 | 18.5
2012 | 19.0
2011 | 22.7
2010 | 15.2
So when I enter the record for 2015 I have a box that says: Temp and next to that box is "Last year was 20.5" or something like that.
Modules & VBA :: Searchable Form - Message Box To Display Information Based On Expression
Nov 24, 2014I have a searchable form that display information on agreements other companies have with us. If a company requests an inspection we have 30 days to go out and complete it.
I am trying to create a message box that will display all inspections that are due within 5 days when the form loads. No luck so far, only broken dreams.
Is it possible for message boxes to use expressions and display information that fits the criteria?
