Multiple Parameter Query
Jun 15, 2005
Hi
Apreciate your help on this.
I have a stock control db and when goods are recieved they could have a different references on them e.g. our internal ref, the purchase order ref etc.
I would like to run a query that firsts ask what criteria i want to use to run the query e.g use the int ref or the PO nr. I can set up a simple parameter query in one field but can not find a solution for the db asking what field i want to use before you put in the reference?
many thanks
scott

Hey all,
I think this is a simple fix but I am very rusty on access so I can't figure it out, even after a long haul on search engines!
Problem:
I have a single form in my db. This form has a series of drop down menus, check boxes etc etc allowing the user to select as much information they want to query against!
My end goal is to be able to submit this form, a report is opened and relevant records are shown depending on what options the user has selected.
I have attempted to use a query to acheive this, by simply using:
[Forms]![frm_stats]![cbo_location] Like [Forms]![frm_stats]![cbo_location] Is Null....which I was told would work, i.e. expecting the query to miss the form fields that were not selected....But no, the query only returns recrds based on my first combo box on my form and ignores the rest.
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts? - I don't really want to go down the route of using vba and checking each field in turn!!!!
Thanks a bunch.

With referential integrity enforced, is it possible to use append query to append to multiple tables based on only one parameter that applies to only one table. If so, please enlighten me with a detailed explanation.
Thank you

I have over 800 films which I've converted from DVD to iTunes format. I have added them to iTunes and extracted the data to Excel. From Excel, I have imported the data into MS Access.
So, now I have a movie database of my films. See attached fields for all tables and the Relationships.
As you can see, I have created a separate Genre table as this will be my main search parameters.
I can run a simple query which returns the search results for example 'Comedy'. My problem is, I am wanting to do a search for films with for example 'Comedy' and 'Drama'. Whichever way I try this, I don't get the right answer. I either seem to get duplicate records or no results returned.
I attach the query I am running which works for 1 Genre only!
I am not sure whether I have some fundamental problems with it and it's better to start from scratch?! I have the raw data from Excel which I could use to start again.

My form-based search mechanism uses controls to set the parameters for the query data source.
I have one field call quantity in stock. I could you a Between and And method to allow the end user to input the stock quantity they want.
HOWEVER, i would love it for the user to first select the Comparison Operator (e.g. > , <, >=, <=) from a combo box and then in an adjacent text box, enter the quantity.
The expression i entered in the query goes something like this.... Forms![frmSearch]![cboRange] & [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtQuantity]
When i try and run this, i get the message "THe expression is too complex to be evaluated".

I have a reasonably complex query (3 subqueries into 1 main query) which gathers data from various tables into a single dataset based on a specified date.
I now need to generate a similar dataset but across a range of dates (a month) for reporting purposes. However, I can't just adapt the query and change the parameter from a "=#<Date>#" format to a "Between #<Date1># And #<Date2>#" format
The reason being, each date has to be treated individually and has to be queried as a standalone. It's to do with the type of data I have (one-to-many relationships between tables)
So what I really need to do is run the same query multiple times, for each date in scope, then stitch all of those datasets together into one 'giant' one.
How to do that in SQL (effectively, have one query produce the dates in scope, then join that onto the other query, passing each date as the parameter - I don't even think that's possible to be honest)
The other option I can think of is to use VBA to loop through the dates in scope, then use a QueryDef object to set the parameter and read the records for each date into a Recordset object. But then I have the problem of stitching all the Recordsets together, without looping through all the fields and rows each time.

I have a form whose data source is a select query, q3, that is built from 2 other select queries. I'll call them q1, q2, and q3. q1 is a parameter query where I enter a "Cutoff Date" that the 3 queries manipulte and generate the desired results that appear in the form. The problem is that I don't know how to capture the parameter "Cutoff Date" from q1 to display on the form.

I have created a query so that two fields have a range in them i.e.
One Field called "Price"
There are two text boxes on the seach form called "price1" and "price2"
The query reads
Between [price1] And [price2]
A second field called "Date Ordered"
There are two text boxes on the search form called "date1" and "date2"
Field called "Date Ordered"
Between [date1] And date2]
I have used the AND operator to join the first and second range. The user will fill in the criteria from a form with text boxes. This form is unbound but as soon as they click on the Search button, it will open up the query with the parameters in as above.
However, if the user were to type in a price but not a date the query shows no results. Results are only shown if a price and a date are inputted.
The OR operator will work but it is not what we need. We need to show results if a price is entered but not a date and vice versa. The fields are coming from one table.
Please can anyone advise? The database is a library management system so the price and date are the price of any books and the date that the book was ordered.
Thank you in advance for any help or advise.

Is there a way to have one parameter in a query effect multiple fields?I have a table that details service calls on our equipment. There are columns in that table for each part of the equipment that get marked, depending on what needed serviced (i.e. software, printer, keypad, monitor, etc). I would like to be able to run a query that will show all the service calls where one part of the equipment was serviced multiple times without have to enter multiple parameters or write a union query (there would need to be 11 unions or 11 parameters for each part to be captured). For example, I would want to know how many pieces of equipment had 3 or more service calls on their software. I want to run the query without having to say that I don't care how many service calls were performed on the printer, monitor, or keypad. I would like to be able to say "Software >3" and have the query run on that information.

I have a report with a subreport. I have added a parameter to the query to prompt for [manager] or is null to get all managers. However, on the report when I enter a manager my count on the subreport still returns the count for all. So, I added the same prompt to the query for the subreport. It returns the right count, however, it prompts for the manager multiple times. How do I get it to prompt only once yet get the right total?

I have created a db with 10 linked tables from 10 db's.
I then build 10 queries associated to these linked tables.
The 10 queries filter data by start date and end date.
The data generated from each query is then exported to excel (each query has its own sheet in the woorkbook).
Dim Output_Path_And_File As String
Output_Path_And_File = "C:" & "Production Labor hrs Querie.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs 3-WAY", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-ACV", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-EAP", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-EVMV", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-PFE", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-propor", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-SEGR", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-TBO", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-VCA", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "labor hrs-VFS", Output_Path_And_File, False, ""
How can I set these queries up by typing the start date and end date only once rather than 10 times?
Thank you

During a client's stay with our agency, they are served among multiple contracts and are placed within multiple programs. Because clients move frequently between contracts and between programs, we have separate tables which have start and end date fields. It is common for any client to have multiple listings in these two tables, but with different event dates.
I am struggling to create a query that will capture each client's most CURRENT contract AND program. In the future, I'll want to create a parameter query that will allow the end user to enter a range of dates and capture all of the contract and program movement during a period of time.
Any suggestions?

I have a form using a query as a control source so that is prompts the user for a parameter when they open the form.
I also have a listbox that is calling the same query.
The issue I am having is when I open the form it will prompt me twice to enter the same parameter.
Tables:
tblship
tblconsignee
tblbill
tblinvoicedetails
Query
qinv
Form
frminvoice
When the user enters the invoice number it populates the ship, consignee, billing address information. I have the list box to display line items for that invoice.
Currently I just have them enter the invoice number twice.
Is there a way I can take the user input and apply it to my other query?

i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.
My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)

Hi,
I have a query that requires a Start-Date and an End-Date to be input by user for the Where clause. It is asking for both over and over. I've had it ask from 1 up to 4 times! :eek: Shouldn't it store the input and only ask for it once? I'm thinking that the way my query is arranged may be causing it to have to loop through that section more than once to find the data, but that's just my theory. Any help would be great!
Here is my code (abbreviated slightly):
SELECT DISTINCTROW C1.*, C2.*
FROM Pen AS C1 INNER JOIN Jobs AS C2 ON C1.subno=C2.[Jobs Acct]
WHERE ((C1.typ="SS" Or C1.typ="CC" Or C1.typ="PP" Or C1.typ="TT") And C1.stdate>=[Enter Start Date] And C1.stdate<=[Enter End Date] And C2.[Type]<>"EE" And C2.[Type]<>"QQ" And C1.entdate<=C2.[ChangeDate]+60);
I'm selecting rows from "Pen" and "Jobs" that have the same subno/Jobs Acct numbers (text), then there are criteria for "Pen" types, user inputs criteria for date range (Start Date and End Date) and there are criteria for "Jobs" types. Finally, there's a cross-table criteria based on a date field ("Pen" entdate should not be more than 60 days past the "Jobs" ChangeDate). Tables are in quotes in my explanation here.
So running the above, it asks for user input "Enter Start Date", then again for "Enter End Date"...but then it asks for each again...and again...and sometimes again!
Help! :confused:
P.S..I didn't notice this repeating until I made it user input (parameter query) because it was using whatever dates I hard-coded in there before.

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

I am trying to pass a date range parameter & an additional parameter (Type of Audit) to 6 subreports based off individual crosstab queries and housed on one Unbound Report ("rptFinal").I have an Unbound Form "frmDate" passing a date range and Type of Audit using [Start Date] and [End Date] to rptFinal with a button that simply opens the rptFinal as follows:
stDocName = "rptFinal"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewReport
In each Crosstab query, I have set the parameter criteria (in both the Parameter section & the query itself) to:
[Forms]![FrmDate]![Start Date] And [Forms]![FrmDate]![End Date]
and also,
[Forms]![FrmDate]![Enter Type of Audit]
On each subreports On Load Event, I have added:
Private Sub Report_Load()
Me.Filter = "[DteAuditDate] BETWEEN #" & Forms!frmDate![Start Date] & "# AND #" & Forms!frmDate![End Date] & "#"
Me.Filter = "[Type of Audit] = #" & Forms!frmDate![Enter Type of Audit] & "#"
End Sub
and I've set the Filter On Load property to: Yes..I can open frmDate, fill in the date and Type of Audit, launch the report and it runs with no error, I have 6 blank subreports in report Preview. The headers are showing up but none of the data.

I have 5 queries that I am running. The first query has the date range parameters set in the field area that I need to run and each additional create table query is based off the results of the previous query.
1. Which is better to use to run all of the queries in one simple step? A macro or a form? I am exporting the final table to excel so that I can make some additional adjustments off of it.
2. How would I setup the date range parameters for the first query if I were to use a macro without going into the query itself and updating the date field? I tried setting up a macro to run the queries by using the OpenQuery action for each of the 5 queries, but I cannot figure out how to do the date range.

I'm writing a query which when run will prompt the user to enter criteria. In this case it is a workers id (like 000UA or 000UB)
My problem is I would like to have the ability to enter more than one criteria. What I want to do is to have the ability to enter several worker id's in the criteria field, like 000UA, 000UB, 000UC, 000UD, 000VA, 000VB, 000VE, 000VF, 000WA, 00WB
Is this possible and can someone explain to me how to do it?
Thanks

I am trying to run a parameter query that will prompt the user for "facility", but instead of displaying the results in table format, I want a form to display the results. I have already developed the form. I would also rather for the users to search by a list box instead of typing the facility. I cannot seem to figure this out. Please help.
Thanks.

Dear All,
I am having problems finding a solution to this problem. I am working on 3 databases at the moment..and am at the final hurdle to complete it.
I have built an Access database. I would like to generate a
number of reports which have to be exported directly into excel
individually.
I have a parameter query with 14 columns. One of the columns
is called GROUPS. I have a form with a button.
When you click on the button the parameter query asks for the
parameter value.
The parameter value must be a GROUP. i.e BURR, WIEN.
After you enter the group the parameter query generates results for
that particular group.
I have a number of groups which i would like to generate results
for at the click of the button on the form.
There are around 30 groups. but i only need to generate reports for
about 15 groups. The groups are stored in one of the tables.
So for instance after i click a button on the form
the results for each requested "GROUP" are exported individually into
excel.
Each group result must be in one excel file.
How can i achieved this. Do i need to use VBA? Please can you help.
I need a solution then i can apply this to a number of databases
Many, Many thanks

Hi, I'm a complete novice to Access and wonder if anyone can help me with this one please? I have a column in a query that is the output from a barcode scanner called WhenScanned from a table tblScans. The data in the column is in the format of the date and time for example: 20/01/2006 21:30:00 I want to be able to interrogate the data in the query by selecting a range of a date(s) and times for example from 20/01/2006 05:30:00 to 20/01/2006 13:29:00, date and time range from 13:30:00 to 21:29:00, date and time range from 21:30:00 to next day 05:29:00. I can achieve this by typing the required range into the criteria row of the query column in design view e.g. >=#20/01/2006 13:30:00# And <=#20/01/2006 21:29:00# for each range but I want to make it more user friendly so that a user can select type in the appropriate date and select the time range from a drop down list or something without having to edit the query using syntax. Thanks in anticipation.
