Hi,
I'm using DAO in C++ to write data in MS Access table. I found that MS Access will automatically sort those records in ascending order based on the primary key. I need to leave those records based on the write sequence, can I do that?
Thank you in advance:)
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)

Hello,
I have a project table that I track the progress of each job in by entering dates when certain portions are done. What I would like to do is when I fill in the "Project Completed" or "Cancelled" columns, to have that record automatically filtered out of the table. I still want to be able to turn off the filter at the end of the year to see all the projects we did, but I don't want this project cluttering up my table once it is finished or cancelled. Right now, I copy and move these completed projects to a separate table, but others say this is confusing and they can't figure out which table to use.
I input everything in the table format and don't have any forms that I use.
Thanks for any help.

I have a table that i would like to sort the records in one field Ascending.
I would like for the field to be updated after the record is entered so that the records in the field are all ways in a alphanumerical order.
I have put [SSB-CW].Square in the Order BY properties of the table. The Table is called SSB-CW and the field to sort is called Square. As i enter the records they stay in the order entered. When the table has been closed and then re-opened the records are sorted.
Do i need to design a form and set the lost focus property with the SQL [SSB-CW].Square.
hello,
I have a combo box that looks at a table with an SQL statement. In the form, the combo box shows the headers of the resulting table. Is there any way that the user can click on any header (let's say 'LastName' or 'Date' ) so the drop down list would be sorted by that header that the user clicks on??
Thank you very much
I have a table where my primary Key is of a text type, the key is made up of a single letter then a number... ie.
R1
R2
R3
...
R30
R31
..R100
etc.
This is an indefinate table and will go as high as I need to
Unfortunately I can't sort this table because if its mixture of both text and numerical characters, can anyone provide any assistance?
Thanks!
Below is an example of my table "Pricedata" include 03 fields:
Stock Name ___Price________Status Date
A________________10________ __1/6/2008_
A________________11___________1/7/2008_
A________________12___________1/8/2008__
B________________22___________1/6/2008_
B________________25___________1/7/2008_
B________________29___________1/8/2008__
C________________2____________1/6/2008_
C________________2____________1/7/2008__
C________________3____________1/8/2008_
D________________56___________1/6/2008_
D________________45___________1/7/2008_
D________________27___________1/8/2008__
I want to create a query like this: can calcualte the price change and % price change in certain period, and then sort in % change.
This result should be like the table below:
StockName Change in three days % Change in 03 days
C 1 50%
B 7 31.8%
A 2 20%
D -29 -51.78%
Thanks all,
I do not want the look up table for my combo box to sort the data so that the drop down will show the data the the order I enter it. The table automatically sorts the data even with the Remove Sort feature. I added another column with numbers and sorted it to put my data in order which works in the table but the drop down still sorts it alphabetically which I assume is because my number column is not the bound column.

I have created a lookup in a field in a table:
select id, bike from tblbikes.
Column count 2
Width 0,3
When I try to sort the table by bike:
I receive the following error: Type mismatch in expression.
Is there some way to sort a field with a lookup.
I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have managed to sort out the data to be used in the final table. However, I am having trouble transferring the data from each of their own tables into the final table.
Each time I run my code I receive "run-time error 3021: No current record."
It seems that only my timestamp is being added properly, but the error pops up and highlights the first "rstInsert.Edit" of my code. I'm suspecting that my function is running too fast, such that it did not have time to read that the table has already been populated by the timestamp in the AddNew code
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstTimestamp As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAcknowledgement As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAgent As DAO.Recordset

I'm trying to group data in a report from single table using grouping and sorting and I want the percentile of every record over group total. I'm using a query to fetch data from table, however I'm unable to get percentage of every single record over group total.
I want to display the report as attached image in single report. I'm unable to get data in "Perc" field. It's populating wrong values.
Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
Many thanks for any help.

I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".
When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.
For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:
Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse.
Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eulalie.
The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.
Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?
Yet another question! When I run the report, it gives me the results in alphabetical order (i.e. April August, etc) instead of monthly order... Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

I have a field with addresses (numbers and letters) Whenever I try to sort it sorts by the number. How do I get it to only sort by the letters but still include the numbers in the result?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?
I have a table with an alphanumeric field I want to sort on. If I sort the usual ascending way, data that is numeric is sorted before data that is alpha.
Is there a way to have the alpha data sorted ascending come out ahead of the numeric data srted ascending?
Ex:
Currently,
1
2
3
A
B
c
Desired:
A
B
C
1
2
3
Thanks in advance to all who reply!!!
i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.
Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.
I have a job database where I sort jobs by upcoming, inactive, closed and active. Each has a corresponding number 1-4 respectively. The main table I update the jobs in is the JOB TABLE. I print a weekly report for our weekly meeting but I only want the active jobs in the report. My question is: how do I perform a sort function in the query, so I will have only the active jobs in the database table show in the query? Thanks in advance! If more info is needed I wil post additonal.
