I have tried posting this message before, but with no results. I am trying to get a query that will give me all of my customers and show what their last order date is. The query that I have now is coming back with ALL the dates the customers made purchases. Here is how I have the query set up:
Field1 Customer ID
Field 2 Customer name
Field 3 Address
Field 4 State
Field 5 Phone #
Field 6 Order Date (Last in Group by)
Field 7 Shipping Method
Field 8 Salesman name
The query is a select query and I hit the totals button on the toolbar. In Field 6-Order date, I have it grouped by "last".
Another problem that I have it I am working in a 97 access database. I have tried to convert it to 2003 with no success. So, I am not able to make NEW queries or reports. I can modify them, but when I close the query or report design, it does not save.
Can anyone help me with this query problem? It is very perplexing.
I have a combo box that contains the months. They appear in month order on the form but when I query, they are in alphabetical. How can I get this to be in month order on the query?
I have started a table to manage expenditure with dates payments and headings. Set up a query to summarise the monthly amounts by each heading. The Query is sorting the date in date in alpha order not date order so I get February before March etc. How do I get it to show chronological order?

Help - Why don’t my date fields sort in date order ?
I’m having a very annoying problem with my date fields. I have a database that keeps records of patients details and their visits to the practioner.
I have a form based on Patients table with name address etc, and a subform based on a Case Details table with details of visits and advice given etc.
I need the Case Details subform to display the latest visit/record at the bottom (the earlier visits at the top of the list). For some reason I just cannot achieve this. Dates seem to be scattered all over and I can’t understand why ??
I have tried sorting the Case Details table in ascending order, sorting the ‘Date of Visit’ field on the form in ascending order (which does work but as soon as the form is closed and re-opened, all the dates are mixed up again).
In the ‘OrderBy’ property of my Case Details Subform, it says:- [Case Details Table].[Date of Action] which according the help I have tried to look at should sort the records ??
I’d really appreciate any pointers as to where I’m going wrong
I have a database which in one part records customer orders. What I would like to is identify customers who have not ordered for a given time period i.e. 30 days.
I know once I have built the query, I will require a parameter for the time period i.e.30 days.
I started by trying to record the last date ordered for a customer in a query, but am having problems with this. I had a query including information from my table for Orders (tblOrders). This had:
Order ID Customer Name Date Order Required
I do not need any more info apart from these fields.
The results would include all orders, so for some customers there would be numerous 'Order ID' & 'Date Order Required'. In the query, I did try to select the summary option, to group information by Customer - but the 'Date Order Required' was always the first date ordered. What I would like is only the last ones for all customers to be shown.
Can someone provide some guidance on how I can achieve my objective.
I have a report that I want to see the records by Job Due Date. I have it set up where it puts the records in ascending order in the query, and it works, but when I open the report they are not in order anymore. I have checked in the properties window and they are still supposed to be pulled in ascending order by job due date. Why won't it put them in the right order??
I am trying to run a query that will give me all of my customers who last purchased on or before 2004. I do not want anyone who purchased anything in 2005. I am including, name, address, telphone number, salesman, order date, and shipping method. I leave all criteria blank, and I have the order date totaled at "max", I run the query, then I filter the form for the shipping method of "no cod". When I run the query, it gives me my customer listing for everyone who purchased from 1999 on and where shipped out no cod. That is fine, except that some of the customers are listed a few times with different dates. Say, John Smith, my query is coming up with an order from 1-5-99 and then a few pages later, (because I am also putting it in descending order) he is on another page with the date of 2-5-2000. Why is this? In my criterea for the "order date" I have it as "MAX", which should bring me this customer only once. Is that correct? I am really having trouble with this. Can anyone help? I only want the customers listed once with their last order date.
Hi all, i have a query which will be used for reports, and only the last order placed by a customer is needed to be shown. Here's the table used in the query:-
So obviously for one customer there can be several orders, but i just want to show the latest one by the date field. I have tried grouping by the date field on both Last and Max, but with all the other fields from the table in the query (i need to have all the fields from the table for the report by the way) it still shows all the orders for a customer.
If i only include the customernumber field and dateofpurchase field and then group by date i have 4923 records, which is the correct amount, only one order per customer (the latest one) but adding any other fields to the query gives me the full 7000 odd orders (several per customer).
Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Now I wanted to generate a report with the order by clause of PICK_DATE. But it is not giving me the desired result. I want to see the latest PICK_DATE at the top of the report in desending order.
Can any one pls help me out to solve this problem ? :confused:
I have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";" Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
As you can see it consists of the name and a date of the backup. When it populates the combobox I want it to go in date order I newest to oldest. At the moment its going of the first number.
I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
The main form of our contacts database has its source in a query which places all contacts in alphabetical order by surname. How do I get the query to sort by surname and then by first name? Also, how can I get the query to run each time a new contact is added so they are put into alphabetical order when they are saved, rather than appearing at the end of the list?

i have a query which looks at 2 fields: "employee number" & "agency number", i would like the query to list the employee numbers in order first (1,2,3...) then the agency numbers in order (100, 101, 102...). ive changed the ascending/ descending order for them both but doesnt help. Its mainly the form that looks at this query i would like to fix so that is shows all employee records in order of employee number first and then underneath all agency numbers in order of their number (some employee numbers & agency numbers are null) hope this makes sense , any help would be great
I need to get all the services for one license, but only once, you'll see what I mean
Pk Service Service_Name MyDate Fk_Licence 1 Base 10/5/2004 5 2 Base 12/6/2004 5 3 Super Base 11/4/2004 5 4 Base 20/10/2004 5 5 Super Base 17/7/2004 5
there's about 7000 records with the same 4 services recurring all the time
All I want for one license is the all distinct services for a chosen date
If I select License 5, and today's date, 26/10/2004, I would need the latest service (closest date but has to be inferior or equal), in this case
Pk Service Service_Name MyDate Fk_Licence 4 Base 20/10/2004 5 5 Super Base 17/7/2004 5
Here's the query I have:
select distinct Service_Name from Services where Fk_License=5 where MyDate <= SelectDate order by DateDiff('d',SelectDate,MyDate) DESC
where Fk_License is to get only the services for a particular license distinct if to only get each service once MyDate <= SelectDate if to get only the services older than the selected date order by is to get the latest service cause there will be a lot of services older than the selected date
I've created some queries on some data that return summary information to then chart over time. The fields being returned are YearGroup, Academic Year, Term, TotalI want the data to get sorted by YearGroup (Year7, Year8, Year9 etc) however, when it sorts the data it sorts it starting with Year10, Year11, Year7, Year8, Year9.
I am trying to create a work schedule, some customers are scheduled for morning and others in the afternoon. I am trying to figure out how to sort AMs and PMs so I get a line with every other one.
I have a table that has entries recorded with date and time in one field, and I want to have a query that returns all records of a specified date or date range, regardless of the time in the field.
I have tried
Code: Between [StartDate:] And [EndDate:]
And
Code: Between [StartDate:] & "00:00" And [EndDate:] & "23:59"
Does anyone know (and would be willing to share) how one can order the results of a Union query in Access by something other than the returned values?
I have a simple Union query that would work perfectly - if I could get the thing to order the results in a particular order everytime:mad:. The query returns counts (all from one table) of separate select statements that each meet certain conditions (e.g. having state=Nevada, having state=California, etc.) as records - but since Union queries in Access order results in ascending or descending order by returned value, it puts my records in a different order every time the record values change. I need to have them ordered the same way (in the same order as they appear in the Union query, if possible) everytime so that I can return those values to specific cells in MS Excel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
