HI, i have a field in a query called [cost_type], these typically contains the values "principle works" or "additional works" how can i set the query up so that it doesn't return the "works" part of the record? Could i just return the first 10 characters of the result?
thanks
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField]
"kick the ball"
"return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new]
"kick the ball" "kick"
"kick the ball" "the"
"kick the ball" "ball"
"return the pass" "return"
"return the pass" "the"
"return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Good Morning to all
i would like to kindly ask if there is a pre defined function in the VBA SQL of access in which it will trim a certain field programmatically
for example
Old string = Manila-MSE Building - 30.26f
New String = Manila-MSE Building
Thanks for your help
I have a table that has about 5000 street addresses (ex. 1234 your st.). I want to get the all the characters until the first space. So for (1234 Your St.) I want to get 1234 for W1234 St I want W1234. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnother issue for my contacts database for work. I have a listbox on the edit contacts form that lists all contacts in the database.
The listbox rowsource is
SELECT [ContactID], [LastName] & ", " & [NamePrefix] & " " & [FirstName] & " " & [Business/Organization] FROM tblContacts ORDER BY [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] & " " & [Business/Organization];
Some of the contacts that are businesses or organizations, do not actually have the first and last name filled in, just the business/organization name. So what happens in the list I get all of the entries that do not have FirstName/LastName at the top of the list, with the Business name following a few spaces. The way it looks is:
, Stop & Shop Supermarkets
But I would like to trim that beginning part if there is no FirstName/LastName so that Stop & Shop Supermarkets gets sorted with the S's, like this:
Stabile, Lisa
Stop & Shop Supermarkets
Stott, Joan
Is there something I need to put in the rowsource to accomplish this? I've searched these forums for an answer, and turned up no results.
Attached, I have a screenshot of the form with the listbox.
Thanks

My DB is on SQL Server with an Access adp front end.
SQL uses the Windows NT user name and password for security and also pulls in the user name into a field in every record so we know who has added and modified it.
For one table we are actually using the user name field on the form and in a report for reasons other than security.
The user name is filled in with first the name of the network group, then a slash, then the user name itself. So there are 7 characters I don't really care about.
Is there a way in VBA to remove those first seven characters and only show what comes afterwards? Thanks for the help!
If I have a DB with several tables containing thousands of records, and most of those records only ever need say 8 characters, does anyone know if changing the field size from default 255 chars to 8 chars will actually benefits the the DB?
Potential benefits I'm thinking may occur are reduced filesize and maybe some speed?
I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
This is what I have so far.
Code:
start = Forms!frm_main2!txt_start_row.Value - 1
conv = DDEInitiate("EXCEL", "Staff List.xlsx")
cell_employee_number = "R" & start & "C1"
cell_surname = "R" & start & "C2"
[Code] ....
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?
Each record in my table has six possible sale dates as a result of cancellations. My problem results when a record is sold twice during the queried time frame (SaleDate1 and SaleDate2). Currently my query uses an if statement and if they are in the same time period, it will only return SaleDate1. I would like to see the record returned twice (once for SaleDate1 and once for SaleDate2). Any suggestions?

I have a database that I enter time for in the form of military time, I would like to make a query to count the number of entrys in the PM,AM, And NIGHT. For instance if a record has a time of anywhere between 700 or 2299 I would like it to be in the AM catagory, then I would like to total up the number of AM records. Any help would be great. Thanks.
AM=700-1399 PM=1400-2299 NIGHT=2300-699
Hello all,
Is there a SQL function in Access that will allow it to return (as a field value) the name of the table where a particular record was found?
The reason that I want to do this is because I have a single table (Table A) with building address records counted and broken down by state and by month - but some of the records belong to smaller groups (e.g. Zone 1, Zone 2, etc.) that aren't states, but that I want to count in the crosstab as if they were. There are building addresses on Table A that belong to each of these four groups, so I need to somehow match the records on Table A with the appropriate Zone, and place the name of that Zone in the "State" column of the query results instead of the actual state so that I can then count the results in the same crosstab.
I had the intention of resolving this by creating three tables (with the listings of address information for each Zone #), then matching records in Table A to each Zone table in a query by the address field to get each record's appropriate Zone no.(if available), then using the results of this query in my crosstab - :confused: but I can't figure out how to get Access to create a calculated field that lists from which table a resulting query record came from, so I can't continue.:confused:
Any suggestions, if able, would be appreciated!
I placed ="G*" in a text field to get all names that begin with G and a blank return was issued. Maybe the manual I have has the wrong info. I have Access 2003 and a Access 2000 manual. Please help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI enter values into a table with 2 decimal places.
I have a query that applies percents to the values - I have set the results to have 2 decimal places.
I have another query that summarises data from the previous query, however the results I get are not right, the decimals differ from the actual result, if I make a sum of the values by hand.
It seems as if the query I have made to apply percents only DISPLAYS data with 2 decimals instead of actually rounding it, so that the other query summarises data with more than 2 decimals, and thats where the difference int the end result comes from. I don't know how to fix this however.
Can someone please help.
Thanks!
Hi all,
May I know some to construct any functions or query string that can track the no. of records that mean certain criteria in the run time.
Basically I want to track the records in a subform (in datasheet view). Should the no. of records is 0, then I can disallow user from saving it onto the table for better record keeping.
Thanks !!
I have searched for an answer and spent some hours but still not getting it.
I have played about with the query joins and still nothing?
I have never had this problem with my database in 5 years (well not that i have noticed).
Some records are fine others are triplicated and quite a lot are blank?
This is the SQL for the query.
SELECT Employee.EmployeeID, Employee.FirstName, Employee.Surname, Employee.Address, Employee.[Town/City], Employee.Region, Employee.DateofBirth, Employee.Nationality, Employee.MaritalStatus, Employee.PassportNo, Employee.ExpiryDate, Employee.Nextofkin, Employee.Relationship, Employee.NOKAddress, Employee.ContactNo, Certificate.CertName, EmployeeCert.Level, Trade.TradeName
FROM Certificate INNER JOIN (Trade INNER JOIN ((Employee INNER JOIN EmployeeCert ON Employee.EmployeeID = EmployeeCert.EmployeeID) INNER JOIN EmpTrade ON Employee.EmployeeID = EmpTrade.EmployeeID) ON Trade.TradeID = EmpTrade.TradeID) ON Certificate.CertID = EmployeeCert.CertID
WHERE (((Employee.EmployeeID)=[Forms]![Employee]![EmployeeID]) AND ((Certificate.CertName)="IRATA"));
Basically i have to solve this problem.
I have a report that is based on this query and if the employee is not displayed correctly instead of the employees Name and Surname i am getting "#Error" ?
Many thanks in advance
I have a query that uses a linked table from an external database and joins it with a table from my database to return records that contain the same values.
Is there a way to return only the records that are present in the external database and not in my db?
Thanks
I created a database that contains 2 tables. I then created a query that simply groups the data and calculates a row total. And it works as expected. However, when I try to create a report, using the query, I get, "The wizard was unable to generate fields from the record source you chose. Perhaps you chose a query that doesn't return any fields."
What am I doing wrong?
Screencaps attached.
Thanks.
I have 2 tables tblComputers & tblComputerAllocations

Thanks in advance,

I am trying to write a query that looks at groups of records for averages and maximums but the records are only from Mon-Fri (Trading Days). I have a query that runs everyday and compares today's close to see if it is greater than the maximum close of the last 20 trading days. I want to use between date()-21 and date()-1. BUT this will include weekends where there is no data.
QUESTION: Is there a way to say between the last 20 trading days(Mon-Fri)?
I researched dateadd() and found one place were it says that "w" is used for weekday. http://www.database-design-2000.com/dateadd.htm BUT when I did a simple query to see if it would exlude the weekends it doesn't. I will have no data for the weekends but if I am doing an average of the last three days and this is run on Monday, it will only include Monday and not the previous Thursday and Friday. Thanks for your help:)
Hi All,
I need an Access query to return the rate at which a customer should be charged. A customer's rate can be set for a period of 1 to 6 months and the customer's rate table could look like this:
ACCOUNT_ID........START_DATE........END_DATE...... ..COST_PER_UNIT
31308.................01-Apr-07................30-Jun-07.................6.195
31308.................01-Jul-07.................31-Aug-07.................6.304
31308.................01-Sep-07................31-Mar-08.................5.422
31308.................01-Apr-08.................31-Aug-08.................6.304
I need a query (preferrably SQL) that will return the rate a customer should be charged each month, e.g.
31308 / Aug 07 / $6.304
31308 / Sep 07 / $5.422
31308 / Oct 07 / $5.422
etc, etc
I'm using Access 2003 and the rates table contains details of about 2500 customers.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
PS. Can someone tell me how to paste a table straight from Excel into the forum post body???

Is there a common answer or design mistake that would cause a form to return a different (much higher) record set than that if the query is ran by itself. The query is the control source for the form.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two tables: tblStudents and tblEnrollments. The query I have designed shows the StudentID and counts the number of Enrollments that each student has. I want the students who don't have any enrollments to still show up and have a 0 by their ID. Right now, only the students with enrollments show up in the query results.
Here is my SQL Statement:
SELECT tblStudents.StudentID, Count(tblEnrollments.EnrollmentID) AS CountOfEnrollmentID
FROM tblStudents INNER JOIN tblEnrollments ON tblStudents.StudentID = tblEnrollments.StudentID
GROUP BY tblStudents.StudentID;
What do I need to do to it to have null values display as zero?
