Hi
I am trying to use a query to populate a combo box. works fine as I am using one table. I want to select DISTINCT records which works. However i need the ID of that record in the select statement. Anyone know how to select two things in a select distinct query??
Select DISTINCT tbl_Aplaws.Level2 FROM tbl_Aplaws WHERE tbl_Aplaws.Level1 = 'Business' ORDER BY tbl_Aplaws.Level2;
this works. but i need to select the tbl_Aplaws.AplawID as well. throws errors
I'm teaching this term, and have put my grades and roster in Access. Each grading opportunity is a separate field.
Students will have to take 3 exams (Exam1, Exam2, and Exam3); however, their grade is based only on the 2 highest exam grades. There are other grades...FinalPaper, Attendance, Paper1, Paper2... the total of the grades is 600 points.
I can do the other calculations... what I do not know how to do is to select the two highest test values from the 3 Exam fields. I coudl do it manually, but I really prefer to simply enter grades, and then have the final grade calculated.
Thanks.

I have a query that is used to capture all the fields that can be possibly used.When run & exported to excel the user then simply deletes the columns with the fields that they don't require.We do this so we don't have to keep creating queries over and over again when you just use one that does all but then delete what you don't need afterwards.
Any way of using a form with tick boxes for each of these fields so when they user ticks the fields they require reporting on then only those fields will be returned in the query.
I trying to create a query that looks at 2 field in one table and give me the resolves in a new field.
Example
Field 1 Field 2 New field
Hat Cap Cap
Dress Dress
Pants Slacks Slacks
Gloves Gloves
Socks Socks
Can you help?
I have an interesting report query I am working on. Is it possible to have a query that shows different fields for individual records depending on the content of the record? Let me see if I can explain. Let's say that I have a Status field that can be "Complete", "Active", or "Planned". And lets say also in that table I have Field1, Field2, and Field3. For each record, I don't want to include all three fields (Field1, Field2, Field3), but only one of these fields depending on what is in the Status field.
So, it would be something like:
Select Status, (if Status = "Complete", select Field1), (if Status = "Planned", select Field2), (if Status = "Active", select field3) FROM table;
So, the query would result in 2 fields for each record: the status field, and one of the three other fields depending on what is in the status field for that record.
Thank you kindly for your help.
I'm trying to select a range of relevant dates for an amortization calculation (see my earlier thread on this subject here), but I'm having a bit of trouble making the SQL work.
I have a table called "t_AllMonths" that has only one field: MonthStartDate which contains the first day of the month for a very wide range of months over something like a ten-year period. I'm calculating amort for assets which will be amortized for some subset of those months (defined by the asset's Amort Start Date and Amort End Date). Further complicating matters, the amortization may be suspended during certain "hiatus" periods when the asset it not planned to be in use, and may differ by which business units make use of the asset.
So, I have three tables.
Table: t_Assets
Fields: AssetID (autonumber; primary key), Asset_Name, Asset_Cost
Table: t_AllMonths
Fields: MonthStartDate
Table: t_AmortPeriods
Fields: AmortPeriodID, AssetID, Amt_Period_Num (which I don't expect to use in this), StartDate and EndDate
Right now, I'm just trying to pull the range of dates between the earliest amort start date and the latest amort end date. (Min of StartDate and Max of EndDate, respectively) for a given AssetID.
My sql looks like this:
SELECT t_AllMonths.MonthStartDate,
Min(t_AmortPeriods.StartDate) AS MinOfStartDate, Max(t_AmortPeriods.EndDate) AS MaxOfEndDate,
t_Assets.AssetID
FROM t_AllMonths,
t_Assets INNER JOIN t_AmortPeriods ON t_Assets.AssetID = t_AmortPeriods.AssetID
WHERE ((t_AllMonths.MonthStartDate) Between [MinOfStartDate] and [MaxOfEndDate]);
I keep getting an error message that reads "Run-Time Error 3122: You tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression MonthStartDate as part of an aggregate function."
I am looking for a way to generate a list of all fields within a table, have the end-user select which fields he/she wants to include, and then run the query. I am trying to create this within a form for a nice, easy to use GUI.
I am using Access 2010 on Windows. The fields I need them to select from are in one table, however there are many lookup (tblkp) tables related.
In my Patients table i have a field called PatientID (AUTONUMBER) as my primary key I hve another problem. Is this possible as i hve been trying for two days now. I hve tried a lot of ways but i cant get it to work right. I have a table called dependents. ID , PatientID,,Dependents,DOB,Age id being the PK AND PatientID as a number I have a table called vitals. with ID,PatientID,PatientName( which is a dropdown of Dependents), hpp,sats etc. (This is a subform in datasheet style in another form)
In my table vitals i have the follwing for PatientName . comboxbox.
SELECT Dependents.Dependents, DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([DOB],"mmdd")) AS Age FROM Dependents;
So it selects fine in a dropdown like John 48, smith 36.
The problem i have is that it selcts all the records irrespective of PatientID.
I have an on click event to mail a report which works. I want to change the text to include data from a table.
I changed the code to include the field 'office' from the table 'Checks' but get an error saying 'Object required'.

Private Sub cmd_mailreport_Click()
Dim office As Object
Set office = Checks.office
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "checks", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", _
"info@company.com", "", "", office & " Daily Check - " & Date, "Attached is the report for the office", _
True, ""
End Sub
I have staff table which is a lookup field on the phone call table.when the phonecall form opens I want the employee field to auto fill in the employees name from the lookup field according to there security level.so something like this
On Open
Select Case Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4)
Case X = 4'the employees security level'
Case X = Insert Table_tblPhoneCalls!EmployeeID"4" into Form_frmPhoneCalls!Employee.
End Select
of course this is a syntax error as I do not know the correct code words.

Hello All,
I have a small problem which I feel I should be able to solve but the hours of trying are proving me wrong!
From a choice of 16 events, competitors can enter as many as they like providing they are eligible. For each event they receive performance marks which are duly stored in a table. Some compete in 1 event others in 5 or 6. (I do not have a control showing ‘number of events entered’ and have tried several options, all unsuccessful, to create a ‘count’ of events entered. Is there a way?) My main problem is, from each individuals’ records, how do I select only the highest 3 marks from the classes each individual entered.
I’d be very grateful for any advice/guidance.

I have a table with customer details, probs over 3000 customer, and i need a method of selecting the customer in a form by their surname. Currently i have a combo box, but as you can imagine, this is not practical with so many records. anyone think of any other way to do it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a query that gives an out put of 'worst offenders'. these offenders are in order of on field ascending (number of entries made per week) and another field descending (total sales).
It is by the combination of the sorting of these fields that we have an ordered list of offenders.
For my report i want to only see the top 10 records of this sorted list.
so for this selection i simply want to select the [B]first 10 records [B]of the ordered list. I cant make a selection by any one particular field(as explained above)
i have looked into the 'select top' functions and 'dfirst', but I dont think they'll work for me.
Any ideas?

hey guys, im having one last problem with a report im making. just want to thank boblarson, Rich and Dennisk for all the help they have given me upto now, i have added to your reputation guys, thanks!
My problem is as follows:
I have a form for my products and a subform for the suppliers, each product can have many suppliers.
I need to have a report of products to send out to customers, so i created a check box to "tick" if i want to include it in the report. So far so good, however, the report shows each product several times for each supplier :(
can anyone tell me how to select only the supplier with the lowest supplier price for each product
Cheers guys
Good Afternoon,
I am currently trying to create a query that will allow me to do the following:
Prompt the user with a pop up box, asking:
Please enter start date
Please enter end date
It will then select everything from my table between those two dates (this works), and then it will ignore all those items that have a time after 7am or before 7pm (this works), but I need it to also select all entries that fall on a saturday or sunday. Now because my raw data comes in the form of (australian dates): 7/09/2005 9:39:10 AM, I am using an update query to split the field into two fields: DateFrom and TimeFrom (both are date/time fields). I then need to create another field called Day, which takes the data in DateFrom and converts the date to dddd (using Format(Date()) i assume), giving me a field with the day name in it, ie: Sunday.
I can then use that to differentiate between weekdays and weekends.... as I use MySQL and PHP more often than I do access, I have no idea how to do this.
So in short:
How do I (this is what i think i need):
Select * from tblData WHERE Day!=Sunday OR Saturday AND TimeFrom > 7:00pm OR TimeFrom < 7:00am
Select * from tblData WHERE Day=Sunday OR Saturday
Both of those selections, will of course need to be performed within my date constraits specified by the user.
Am I making sense?

Thanks in advance
Hallo Everyone,
I have a small problem in query selection. I have a query that selects values based on a criteria. [value from a combobox]. The problem is that i need to select all the rows if the value of the combobox is empty.

I am working on a query to select the most current value for a given record
based on dates. The record has an associated cost for a given year say 2000.
For years 2001 to 2006 there is no cost. I want to use the cost in 2000 for
the most current cost even though my date criteria specifies say 2002. Can
this be done within the select query?
Thanks

Quick one for you geniuses out there!
I would like a command button to print records from a select query displaying dates for the past 2 days but not for todays date.
e.g. today is the 29th, I want to print records for the 27th & 28th.
Data is being recorded hourly and kept for 2 months so there will be new and old data that I don't want printed.
Thanks for the help!!
Hope someone can help.
I am building a database to evaluate football team performance. I have a table with results (tblResults) where a team will have records in either the Home Team or Away Team fields depending on the fixture.
I want to include a "Team Form" calculation that selects the last 6 games for each team (both home & away) and allocates points to calculate a recent form stat for comparison with the opposition.
I have tried using the TOP VALUES option in a query, but I can't seem to get it to extract the top 6 in descending date order for every team.
Would be very grateful if someone could help!
Hi,
I have a table with over 90,000 records, how do I create a query to select only every 4th record? If this cannot be done with a query, what are my options?
Thanks
