I'm trying to make changes to records that are 3 years old. The date format is text and it displays as Ex. "20020831" or yyyymmdd.
i try <"20020101" but I get no results and I know there should be.
I'm a rookie and only know how to query using short date format.
ideas anyone?
thx
Hey.I know you can create queries in access to find fields that have a value between 3 and 7 in them for example but how would you create a query that retreives fields with values between 2 dates for example between 12/10/07 and 11/01/08Btw the dates are inday/month/year

Each year they have to attend a refresher.
I can easily query those people who are in date.
How do i query to find people who attended a course but not a refresher?

I have linked tables from an Oracle database.
I want to run a query to find records that have dates in a defined range.
The date field in my linked Oracle table is in the date/time format.
When I run my Access query, I only get those records that have a date (and no time) in the field.
How can I get all records, even those with a date/time entry?
Thanks!
I have a db tracking vacation times for staff. One of the fields tracks a members vacation start and end dates. I need a way to pull a report to see who is on vacation based on Date() (today).
For example:
A record for John Doe has him start vacation 08/19/2014 and end vacation on 8/28/2014. If I wanted a report that shows who is on vacation today, 08/25/2014, using the date() function), how would I do this?
I have a number of categories on which I assign a relative risk - at the moment H, M and L. Previously I had these set as a value selection combo and they were as 'text'.
More recently I have changed this now to a lookup and put the risk rating into a separate table. As a consequence the field is now 'numeric' but displays text from my combo.
When running a linked query I now get an error message instead of the required response.
My query should report back a 'Yes' if the queried cell contains an 'H' or 'M'.
Audiometry: IIf([tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="H" Or [tblRiskProfile]![Noise]="M","Yes","No")
However, this obviosuly doesn't work now because of the cell properties being numeric. How do I ammend the string above to run the same query?
I have a situation where I need to extract the date from a text field to use in a select query. The date in the text field is listed at the beginning of the text field like this.
S12345678 3/21/2008 adittional text beyond here blah, blah...
the first series of numbers can be either 9 or 10 digits long, and then the date is always in this format, the length of the characters change accordingly with the date. So trying to use the Mid function only wont work.
I supposed I need to find a way to get the position of the space character in front of and after the date to use the Mid function for each record.
I need to be able to extract this date to do a DateDiff against another date.
I have been trying to do something like this.
Narr_Date: Format(Mid([si_narr_t],InStr(1,[si_narr_t],Chr(32)),InStr(9,[si_narr_t],Chr(32))),"Short Date")
But I know I am off the mark here. Can someone tell me what I am missing?
Dear All:
I have creadted a form with a combo box that has 3 dates in it: February 1, 2005, September 1, 2004 and June 4, 2004.
Is there a way to display in another field on the form(A text field) when one of these dates is selected from the combo box, a text field returns "DATED ON THIS FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND FIVE"?
I reckon this is a vb issue and any help is appreciated.
Thanking in advance

I have a Table Named "Combined List 05/06/03" Within this table there is a Field named "Scheduled Date" which has dates but the field was created as a Text Field. How do I go about changing this field to a date field. I have approx 95,000 records in this table. Is their a way to change this field to a date field or can I create another date field and move that info over. Im using MS Access 2010.

I'm bringing an archived db into Access, with entry forms to continue on into the future for maintenance. In the past, some dates were recorded only to year (yyyy). Obviously, I won't continue that, but I need to integrate the old and new in a fashion that will sort. For instance, one form has a subform section based on a report to show the old entries, while below are unbounded text fields for making new entries (with a Save command button).
How to integrate partial old text dates with newly recorded dates.
On a form I'm asking a user to enter dates in 2 different textboxes, say, [text1] and [text2], both formatted to short date. In a third textbox [text3] I need to see the date of the greater of the two, and in a fourth [text4] I need to see the date of [text3] if it falls on a Monday through Friday, or the date of the previous Friday if [text3] falls on Saturday, and the date of the following Monday if [text3] falls on a Sunday.
...a couple quick examples;
If text1 = 2/20/2015 and text2 = 2/27/2015, text3 should evaluate to 2/27/2015, and text4 should evaluate to 2/27/2015
or
If text1 = 2/20/2015 and text2 = 2/28/2015, text3 should evaluate to 2/28/2015, and text4 should evaluate to 2/27/2015
My attempts to compare text1 and text2 revolve around an IIF but result in an error...
Entering this into [text3]... IIF([text1]>[text2], [text1], [text2])
results in "#Name?" error, which I interpret as meaning the date from the source cannot be pulled into the formula.In attempt to check the day of week, I used =Weekday([text3],1) which results in a number. I haven't been able to do an IIF on it as it errors with #Name? again.
I have a text field like, 11242010, and I need to be able to convert it into 3 int fields, day, month, year. I am trying to do this in a query and have create the following three;
DateD: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left(Right([DATE],6),2))))
DateM: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left([DATE],2))))
DateY: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Right([DATE],4))))
Time: IIf([TIME] Is Not Null,[TIME])
When I have a value of Null, i keep getting #Error, I think when it's null.
I have text field that is storing both dates, and "N/A."
I'm trying to to get only records that match this format "mm/dd/yyyy" or "xx/xx/xxxx"
Are there any format functions for query criteria, like must match this format "__/__/____" ?
I know I can just use "<> "N/A"" however I want "<> "N/A" AND Format = "__/__/____"
I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.

Hi I'm having a bit of a problem with the sql query below
SELECT [Table 1 Personal Details].Surname, Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].[Public Holiday]) AS [SumOfPublic Holiday], [Table 3 Daily Activity].[Week Commencing], Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].[Authorised Absence]) AS [SumOfAuthorised Absence], Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].Holiday) AS SumOfHoliday, Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].Sickness) AS SumOfSickness, Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].[Unauthorised Absence]) AS [SumOfUnauthorised Absence], Sum([Table 3 Daily Activity].[Hours Per Week]) AS [SumOfHours Per Week], [Table 9 Funding].Project
FROM [Table 1 Personal Details] INNER JOIN ([Table 3 Daily Activity] INNER JOIN [Table 9 Funding] ON [Table 3 Daily Activity].[ID Number] = [Table 9 Funding].[ID Number]) ON [Table 1 Personal Details].[ID Number] = [Table 3 Daily Activity].[ID Number]
GROUP BY [Table 1 Personal Details].Surname, [Table 3 Daily Activity].[Week Commencing], [Table 9 Funding].Project
HAVING ((([Table 3 Daily Activity].[Week Commencing]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]) AND (([Table 9 Funding].Project)="NETWORKS"))
ORDER BY [Table 3 Daily Activity].[Week Commencing];
My problem is that the Surname is displaying for each record.. what I mean is that I want the surname to be grouped so that I get the SUMofHours summed correctly?
here's an example of what I'm getting
SURNAME, WEEK COMMENCING, SUM OF HOURS, PROJECT
Brown,13/02/2006,35,NETWORKS
Brown,20/02/2006,35,NETWORKS
Malcolm,13/02/2006,35,NETWORKS
Malcolm,20/02/2006,35,NETWORKS
Here's what I'm really looking for though
Brown,13/02/2006,70,NETWORKS
Malcolm,13/02/2006,70,NETWORKS
I need the Hours SUMMED with no replication of surname.

Hey all,
Here is my problem, im working on an old 97 database that is being used by a program and sometimes errors occur through the use of the program and certain tables are not updated properly, so instead of doing this manually I want to be able to query this database through SQL and then later down the line put these SQL queries into a program so it will be more user friendly to edit the database.
So when I try and test one of my queries out, access tells me that I cant make changes to the database because it was created in an earlier version. Now I know i can update the database, but if I were to do that the program that is using the database wont work!
So im a little stuck now, will I have to keep editing the database the manual way or is there another option here? Im wondering (for any java heads out there) If I were to write a java program that would query the database and edit the data inside would that work or would I get back an error?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, I have a DB of client contacts. I'm drawing the values for a query from a form using [Forms]![Sort]![Contact] in criteria and using the parameter field to give values to each. The query works fine for state, contact and industry- all in conjunction with each other. Where I am having problems is:
1) When I input less then all 3 working parameter values in the referenced form the query will not run. I think i need an SQL string of some sort- doing an if, then relationship, but I don't know how to do this.
2) I don't just have 3 values I want to reference, I have 9 total. On the form one of the problems is that a field is chosen by the end-user using check boxes (allowing only one check between three values, with no default: current client, potential client, not applicable are the choices). However, in the table these are referenced by the values of 1, 2 or 3. Another of my fields is check boxes, but referenced by yes, no. How do I correspond the field values in text to numerical values in the table? (and the yes/no prbly the same I will assume)
3) I have "sectors" as a field option in my Sort form (again the drop down menu to select). There is one field for the choice, however, in my data table I have 4 fields corresponding all back to that one field in the form through the query. This doesn't seem to work at all. The sector choices, in my original Input form, are 8, chosen and recorded into the table using 4 consecutive drop downs. They are the same 8, so sometimes a sector like Agriculture could end up in the Sector 1, or Sector 2, etc field in the table. Some can also be left blank. So in summary of this dilemma: 4 drop downs in input form to 4 data table fields, all being queried through one field on the Sort form, which is tied to my query through a command button, having specific criteria reference text in the form.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Just joined this forum and posting my very first thread.. ^^
I need to create query to pull data from two different tables. This should be really easy query for most of you. Once someone help me set it up, I can do the modifying.
If you look at the image, there are two tables. For each of pf_id (which is unique ID), I need to know the dept_name which is on other table. I know two tables can be linked with dept_id but I don't know how to create query. If you can help me , I would greatly appreciate it~
Result should be like below.
pf_id, dept_id, dept_name

Is there a way of querying for an astricks? Some data in one of my tables has data that looks like this "A*" or "B*" or "C*", but most of the records are just "A" or "B" or "C"...I just need a query that I can pull out those records. Is there a way of doing this in a query?
Thanks
I need to take a value from a subform and use it in a query but I don't seem to be able to come up with the correct criteria in the query....
I have so far tried:
[Forms].[frm_Matching].[SubMatching].[txtSingleFixedPayer]
[Forms].[frm_Matching].[SubMatching].[form].[txtSingleFixedPayer]
[Forms].[sub_Matching_single].[txtSingleFixedPayer]
[Forms].[sub_Matching_single].[form].[txtSingleFixedPayer]
[Forms].[frm_matching].[sub_matching_single].[txtsinglefixedpayer]
[Forms].[frm_matching].[sub_matching_single].[Form].[txtsinglefixedpayer]
And probably a load of other versions of the above.... can anyone help out possibly?
The following pulls back the value in code but isn't accepted in the query as a valid criteria:
Forms("frm_Matching").[SubMatching].[Form].[txtSingleFixedPayer]
OK,
I work for a political party. I work with voter history information. Normally, I am doing queries in order to bring up particular voters, and eliminate others.
Example - the basic table I work with contains the names, addresses, affilitations, and voting histories of everyone in my county. I normally query to bring up voters of a particular party, or people who voted in a particular election or number of elections or both. I more or less sort voters out, but in a positive manner, by creating tables with voters who did a particular thing.
For example: out of all the voters, I just want Democrats who voted in two of the past three primaries. I would then get a table that contained just those voters and no others.
Today, though, I was asked to create a table that would exclude voters based on their behavior, exluding voters who did a particular thing but showing everyone else.
Example, I have a request for all of the voters in the county, except those who voted in the 2004 and 2002 primaries. I know how to create a table with those voters and no others, but I don't know how to query for everyone but those voters. Can anyone help?
Hi there,
I am getting really wound up with this. It should be so simple!
I need to create a query on a field (actualdateofvisit) and group it by the month to give me a count of all those visits (hence the catchy field name) which occurred each month since the beginning of the project. In other words I want to see:
Month Count of Visit
Jan 43
Feb 54
Mar 78
and so on.
I have tried everything I can think of but cannot work out how to do this? I need to do it in a query NOT a report as I want to port it to Crystal reports to display there.
I am think of something like:
field: Actual Date of vist
table: visits
total: Group By
Criteria: "Month"
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and Regards
Mark
Hi all,
I have a query that is supposed to get a time value from a field and enter a string into a new field based on the time it gets.
this is what i have. Its my VERY first query ever and so i'm not sure of the syntax. I doesnt work though so i'm assuming something must be wrong. Can anyone help?
iif((hour([request date])>12)and(minute([request date])>30)), "After 12:30", "Before 12:30"
Cheers,
Spinkung. :)
Hi all,
Is it possible to create a query that looks over two different databases for information. i.e I have two departments at work that have seperate databases and I need to be able to search for data in both of them on the same query.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
