Finding Duplicate Records
Jun 19, 2006Hello
I've had to export data from an old third party database to Access with the task of reporting on the data. I have a client table and work tables, one for each year going back to 1992. In the original database, the clients do not have a date of when they were set up. I need to find out how long clients have been with us, so I thought of going back through the work tables 2006 to 1992 and finding out where they first occurred, by looking for duplicate records in the tables. Is this a simple enough thing to do? The client table and work tables are linked through the field Client.
Thanks

Finding Records 3 Months Old
Mar 12, 2008Can't think how I would do this. If I create a query with a certain date then it will need to be changed every time the query is run. How would I write a query that automatically looks for a date 3 months or more old.
Thanks for any help. :D
Finding Records By Primary Key Value
Oct 26, 2004I have a table, and there are many records, each with a unique value in the OrderNumber field
I have a text box on a form, and i want it to work so that the user types in a OrderNumber value, and it loads that record into the form (the form is bound to the table)
I already know how to load a record by record number, but how can i do it by OrderNumber value?
thanks
Finding Records Between Dates
Jan 4, 2005Hello, i need to have my database find records that were entered between two dates. To do this i made a query that included the dates the records needed to be in between....[date1] and [date2]. Then i had the record dates be called [sent date]. i made my query and in the criteria for [sent date] i wrote
(Between [Date1] And [Date2])
when i enter the two dates [date1] and [date2] the query does not show the records that are between that date. why is this happening? is there and easier way? another way?
For example, say that i have records with their [sent dates] equaling 12/30/2004, 1/1/2005, 10/1/2005
i want to make it so that when the user inputs a records with dates [date1] and [date2], that those records will show up if their [sent dates] are between [date1] and [date2]. if [date1] is 1/1/2003 and [date2] is 1/1/2006, all of the records will show up.
if [date1] is 12/31/2004 and [date2] is 1/3/2005, then only the record with the date 1/1/2005 will show up.
how can i do this?

How to do this but I do have a query/report that will subtotal based on the LOC-RC field.
Finding Lower Case Records
Aug 15, 2007I supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data.
My problem is caplial letters vs lower case.
How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
:confused:Any help appricated

Finding Unique Records Between 2 Tables
May 12, 2006Dear all,
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a slight problem which seems like it should be easy to solve but I have no idea how to do it.
I have 2 tables (table1 and table2 for instance) Table2 contains more data than table1 but should contain everything in table1 as well as more.
How is it possible to return just records that are in table2 that are not in table1
Eg
Table1 contains:
IDab
112
222
322
422
511
611
711
Table2 contains:
IDab
112
222
322
422
511
611
711
833
The query should return just the line:
833
as this is unique.
thanks again
Finding Records With Empty Field
Jul 18, 2007The last field in my table is 'Comments'. I want to find if any record or records with 'Comments' field empty. I created a query and added all fields from my table. In the criteria section I typed Like "null". But the query is not returning records where 'Comments' field is empty. I have deliberately added (for testing) a few records leaving comments field empty. This can be viewed clearly in Table view. But the query I made is not displaying the records. Please help.

Jun 4, 2013I have a table tbl_PolicyDetails with details of the policy the customers have with us.. In the tbl_PolicyDetails, I have two fields (these are the ones in question) called
"policyStarted" - Start Date of a Policy and
"policyPeriod" - Term of Policy Monthly/Annually/Quarterly
So in a Form view I just get the Next installment for the customer based on this information for display.. For example..
Mr Butters Stotch's policy started on 26/04/2013 and is paying Quarterly; the next (i.e. 2nd) installment would be on 26/07/2013..
Ms Wendy Testaburger's policy started on 07/04/2013 and is paying Monthly; the next (i,e. 3rd) installment would be on 07/06/2013..
This is not hard to get.. I have that sorted.. But the problem is, my manager wants to be able to specify two dates and search all policies that will be 'paying in' that Date range should be picked up..
So if the search range happens to be.. 01/07/2013 and 31/07/2013 Then Mr Butters Stotch's policy should be picked up, as his next installment falls on 26/07/2013.. Since this information is not stored, I cannot run a direct Query on this.. Also as the Installment number varies for each customer, I would not be able to just add 1 - Month or Quarter or Annum, and see if the date falls in that range..
Forms :: Finding Records In Subforms
Apr 28, 2015I am working on MS Access 2010 and have come across a bit complex situation. I have a table with about 20 fields. In a main form, I have added 4 sub-forms where each sub-form is showing 5 fields of each record from the table. This is because of step by step data entry into the same record. I have made these sub-forms as "Continuous Forms" and have given them look of Data Sheet.
There are about 1000 records currently present in the table and these are showing in my sub-forms (5 fields each). Now the problem is that, when I have my Focus on one record in my first sub-form to enter some data, and then I click on second tab of sub-form, the same records should be shown in second sub-form as well. Currently it is not being happening and I have to scroll down my second sub-form to search that particular record. It will become much more difficult when number of records will increase.
How can I work it around and get my cursor on the same record on every sub-form?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFinding Unique Records In A Table
Mar 25, 2015 I have one table with 250 fields and hundreds of records. Each field represents a computer we have and the records in that field represent the type of applications we have on that computer. So the table looks like this:
Computer 1..........Computer 2.......... Computer 3........ Computer 250
Microsoft...............Google.................... .Paint.....................Microsoft
Windows Hotfix......Security Updates.......Java ......................Google
Java.....................Mediaplayer.............. Google.....................Java
As you can see, most computers have the same applications, but some have applications that others do not. I just need the list of applications we have from all computers. Meaning each app is listed only once.
I just need each application listed once. So I was trying to come up with a way to delete all the duplicates or use a Totals query to group the apps but since my table has 250 columns I'm not really sure how to go about it. What kind of query would be best to make this work?

Query Not Finding All The Correct Unmatched Records
Mar 31, 2006I have several tables that I am trying to get information from:
Clock Number Table with fields: Clock #, Name, Title, Dept, Term, HireDate, & TransDate.
Completed Training with fields: Clock #, Data Completed, Doc # & Rev Level
Linked Table, Controlled Documents with fields: Doc #, Title, Effective Date & Rev Level
Linked Table, Distribution Table with fields: Doc #, Distribution, Rev Level & Effective Date.
Some of the tables have more fields that those listed, but they do not pertain to this query.
I am trying to create queries that will provide me with the names of employees who have not been trained on Controlled Documents that have been distributed to their department.
So far, I have been able to determine if no one has been trained, but if even one person has been trained, they do not appear on my list. I would like to know the Clock # and name of those that have not been trained.
I have created 3 queries to get this far. Query 1 is the Clock # Table and the Completed Training Table joining the Clock #. Query 2 is the Controlled Document Table and the Distribution Table joining the Doc #, Rev Level. Query 3 takes these queries and joins Doc # and Rev Level. and pulls records where the Rev. Level and Doc # is Null.

Finding Records Based On Text Inputs
Sep 13, 2005Hello
I am trying to set up a user friendly front end to my database. I would like to have a form which allows the user to enter information into text boxes and then press a button which finds the relevant record(s).
I would like to use it to pin point an employee's record based on at least one piece of information, but possibly combined with up to four more by entering into these boxes. For example personnel number, surname, first name etc.
Is this possible and how do I go about setting it up?
I am aware of the filter function and queries but I can't seem to get either to operate in the way I have envisaged. They don't appear to offer the most user friendly solution, at least not in the format I have tried.
Apologies, but I am still getting to grips with access to be honest.
After Finding Records Show Themone At The Time
Mar 5, 2008Hi All,
I have the following code to run search:
Code:Private Sub Command20_Click() Me.household_id.SetFocus 'Me.Text21.SetFocus 'subj_num = Text21 DoCmd.FindRecord Me.household_id, acEntier, True, acSearchAll, True, acCurrent, TrueEnd Sub
Let's say it found 5 records matching the search criteria.
I like the Access form show me each record every on second. Meaning show me next record every one second.
I have the follwoing code to loop throgh each record but I nned to run after the find code runs and loops throgh the record that have been found:
I have the following code to do the loop through each record but, I need to run it after running the find code and then loops through the records that have been found:
Code:Private Sub Command10_Click()Dim inti As Integer'Loop through record 1 to 20 in form For inti = 1 To 20 DoCmd.OpenForm "DEM_RECH_CHECK_LIST", , , "[household_id]= " & inti Next inti End Sub
I need some help to combine the above codes.
Thanks in advances,

Queries :: Finding Unmatched Records With A Condition?
Dec 26, 2013I want to find unmatched records, where there is a condition. Specifically, which employees did not get a specific mail.
My employees are in this table:
tblEmployees
---------------
EmployeeID (PK)
FullName (text)
and sent mails are logged in tblMailsSent
tblMailsSent
--------
MailID (FK)
EmployeeID (FK)
so I want to find all the employees in tblEmployees whose EmployeeID may or may not be in tblMailsSent with some other MailID's but definitely not with the specific one I am looking for.
I find my own method for doing this rather clumsy, so do you happen to have a nice recipe?
Finding And Removing Records That Sum To Zero Based On Two Other Columns?
Apr 3, 2013I have a dataset of about 70 columns but would like to remove any two rows that sum to zero (based on two columns) if the column "Units" are the same for the same "Bar code" thus to say "for the same 'Units' (for any two lines), check to see if their respective 'Bar Codes’ are the same and if so remove if their amounts sums to zero".
I have the following code which seems to be working but for relatively large data ( about 5k), it does not select all the data that meets the criteria:
Code:
SELECT *
FROM datatable
WHERE ((([datatable].[Unit] & [datatable].[Bar Code] & Abs([datatable].[Amount]))
In (SELECT datatable.Unit&datatable.[Bar Code]&abs(datatable.Amount)
FROM datatable
GROUP BY datatable.Unit&datatable.[Bar Code]&abs(datatable.Amount)
HAVING count(*)>= 2 and sum(datatable.Amount)=0)))
ORDER BY [datatable].Unit & [datatable].[Bar Code] & Abs([datatable].Amount);
identifying the bug in this code that makes it not pull all the data meeting the criteria.
See sample data below:
# Unit bar Code Amount
1. AAB Mac1 2.75
2. AAB Mac1 -2.75
3. AAB Mac1 1.24
4. AAC Mac3 35.00
5. AAC Mac3 -20.00
6. AAC Mac3 20.00
7. AAD Mac3 16.11
8. AAC Mac2 11.00
9. AAC Mac2 -11.00
10 AAC Mac3 12.05
11 AAF Mac3 -12.05
12 AAD Mac3 -16.11
13 AAC Mac4 35.00
I want to select records # 1, 2, 5, 6,7,8,9 and 12 since they are same units having the same bar code and their sums total zero.
Search Form Not Finding All Records Though They DO Exist
Oct 27, 2014What could cause certain records to not be searchable when performing a search?
I have created a pretty simple Search Form that I can look up a record by a Job#, Phone#, or Name. It populates a list of record(s) on the bottom pane using a split-form.
The issue that I have recently discovered is that some records are not showing up when searched, though the record does exist. I can find the record by manually going to a record in the database that is close to the one I’m looking for and then using the previous and next record button to view the record I want.
So if a record exist and has the relevant data for the field that is being searched, why would it not find it? Using the default search built into Access on the bottom record bar, I can find the record using the search criteria I mentioned above.
I also have the Search Form set that if no search criteria is entered, it will display ALL records. Even with all the records shown, these few records do not show up.
Could these few records have a feature or setting that is disabled that needs changed? If so, what to look for at this point.
Find - Not Finding All Matching Records, But Filter By Selection Does.
Jul 9, 2007Hi All,
I have a strange problem that has me beaten.
I open an Access 2003 table, sort on field "Job Number", click the Find button and enter a job number.
I expect to find 30 records, but Find only hits 8 of them.
If I over-type the Job Number (with the same numerics), Find is then able to return this record.
If I place my cursor in ANY of the 30 records and click Filter by Selection, all 30 records are included.
I thought there may be a non-printable character or a space hidden at the end of the field, but I expect both Filter and Find would return the same records.
Even more strangely, when my client zips the MDB file and emails it to me, this behaviour does not occur on my PC.
Has anyone else comes across this behaviour? If so, can you please point me in the direction that will help me find a solution.
cheers,
Mark Chimes
Access 2003 And Automatically Finding Records In Forms
Jul 19, 2005I currently Have this form setup in 2 sections. The first section includes 2 text boxes for Eligibility Number (field name = EligibilityNum) and the second for School (SchoolName). The second section is a subform called sfrmSchools that includes all the eligibility numbers, schools and other useful information.
I have created an Access 2003 database from a ledger. The main key is an eligibility number that corresponds to a school. There are over 2000 schools in my database. How can I program Access to automatically find the record (eligibility number or school) if I type it in the first section. For instance if I was looking for a given school with an eligibility number of 5670A0324. If I type in '56' I would be taken to those eligibility numbers with 56 to show. Same for if I typed in the name of a school. If the school I wanted started with 'D', I would be taken to them.
