Queries :: Parameter Value Prompt In Query Using (Like Or Is Null) Criteria

Mar 29, 2015

I had an issue with writing LIKE statements in query criteria yesterday [URL]....

The answer they gave worked perfectly when I only used a single table in the query. But as soon as I did an INNER JOIN with two other tables, now I get parameter value prompts when I open frmSearch, and instead of seeing ALL my records when the controls are left null, I get only the first record in the table.

Here's the SQL of the query, can you point out what I messed up? NOTE that this SQL was 'written' by Access.. as I used the Query builder to set all the 'Like or Is Null' statements, then clicked SQL and sorta formatted the code so I can see what I'm looking at (instead of superthick wall-o-code):

Code:
SELECT tblPeople.name, tblPeople.num
FROM (tblPeople INNER JOIN tblAddresses ON tblPeople.name = tblAddresses.name)
INNER JOIN tblPets ON tblPeople.name = tblPets.name

[code]....

Basically, this is a searchable database of participants in a pet-adoption program, along with the participants' pets history and address history (hence the linked tables as opposed to additional columns in one single table for pets and addresses... there are more than one in some cases). The frmSearch allows a person to run quick searches based upon ANY item in the database, such as name, pets, addresses, pet age, pet type, county of residence, etc. I need to be able to pick ANY field on frmSearch and type a value, and have the qrySearch return records for ANY record's related column wherein any part of it matches what I typed.

The statements as written worked PERFECTLY right up until I added the INNER JOIN. Now I get a set of parameter value prompts for every field on frmSearch that's referenced in the SQL for EACH table I linked to tblPeople, and if I leave everything null and click Search, I want to see EVERY person, but I'm only seeing the very FIRST person in tblPeople.

Queries :: Parameter Query Prompt Twice In Forms

Aug 27, 2014

it also prompts twice when i try printing or try to save the current page as a pdf and also when i switch record? i think its a problem with the subform as it always is trying to fetch data. would there be a way to make it so that the subform and the form are linked so that the parameter query prompts once and the information stays there rather then having to prompt again when printing or saving as pdf?Two more things - on my total value box i wish to be able to always show 2 decimal places

The code already in place is :

Net : =Sum([TotalValue])
VAT: =Sum([TotalValue])*0.2
Gross: =[Text8]+[Text10]

(Net is Text8 and VAT is Text10)

i have already specified that the decimal place value is 2 instead of auto but it still doesnt work - if the number is a whole number i still wish to see .00 at the end of the field.One last thing - Would their be a way to carry over the information from my delivery note to my invoice note? which would save a lot of time retyping the parameter query.

Queries :: Date Prompt Criteria In Crosstab Query

Apr 11, 2014

I have a table of data going back to 2007 that needs to be looked at on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. I am able to filter the data when running a normal query by using

Between [Start Date] and [End Date]

in the Criteria section of the Date field. I now need to apply this same idea to a crosstab query. My current set up is:

[Gender]- Group By / Row Heading
[Plan Type]- Group By / Column Heading
[Pmt Amt]- Sum / Value
[Date]- Where / Criteria = Between [Start Date] and [End Date]

I am getting an error message that says:"The Microsoft Office Access database engine does not recognize '[Start Date]' as a valid field name or expression."Am I setting something up incorrectly or is it impossible to use input prompts in a crosstab query like this?

Queries :: Passing (Is Not Null) As A Parameter In A Query?

Jun 16, 2015

I have a form which users can toggle whether they want to only see entries that has data in a certain field. Previously I have set up a separate query with a hardcoded 'Is Not Null' in the criteria, and set the form to call the different queries based on the status of a toggle button. This time there is 22 queries that need to be modified so I'm hoping there's a better way.

I have a hidden textbox on my form that has value "Is Not Null" or Null based on the position of the toggle button.

In my query for the field criteria I have [Forms]![MainForm].[txtCriteria] where txtCriteria is the textbox previously mentioned.

When I run the query no data is shown.

Queries :: Control Source - Parameter Prompt Multiple Times

Jul 15, 2014

I have a form using a query as a control source so that is prompts the user for a parameter when they open the form.

I also have a listbox that is calling the same query.

The issue I am having is when I open the form it will prompt me twice to enter the same parameter.

Tables:
tblship
tblconsignee
tblbill
tblinvoicedetails

Query
qinv

Form
frminvoice

When the user enters the invoice number it populates the ship, consignee, billing address information. I have the list box to display line items for that invoice.

Currently I just have them enter the invoice number twice.

Is there a way I can take the user input and apply it to my other query?

Queries :: Using Like Criteria In Parameter Query

Aug 10, 2013

It is possible to create a parameter query in Access that will search for records that match the parameter entered by the user AND contain all other records that have that value plus other text.

For instance you may want Access to return all records that begin with the letter Q.

To do this you need to enter the following expression into the criteria row:

Like [Find records beginning with:] & "*" Or Is Null

The user can enter a Q and the criteria concatenates the wildcard character * to this parameter value, to find all text strings that begin with a Q.

By also using Or Is Null in the criteria the user can enter a blank value into the parameter query to return all records, even if this field is blank.

But how do I search if i want all the records with John anywhere in the field???

Query / Report Parameter Prompt Functionality

Jan 4, 2013

I have a couple of questions which are sort of related. They both revolve around Parameters with a Query/Report.

Here is a bit of background. The source Table is formatted in a way similar to this:

Code--Account#--Expense Description--Jan--Feb...

When running the Query, and associated Report, the user is prompted to input an Account# via a Parameter that I set up. The dialog box pops up with the word "Account#" and a box for the user to enter by what account that they want to restrict the Report. [Question 1] - Is there a way to make this dialog box contain a drop-down box with a list of predetermined accounts instead of the aforementioned entering of an account number? If not via this dialog box, is there another way?

Also, multiple accounts roll up into a single P&L line item. For example, let's say that accounts 1234 and 5678 both make up "Equipment". [Question 2] - Is there a way to run the Report in such a way to return all accounts which roll into a line item? I want to have the ability to run by either an individual account or the P&L line in total.

Queries :: How To Use Criteria Or Parameter In Crosstab Query

Oct 5, 2013

I have a table that has three columns: Nationality, Gender, and Date. First I had the problem of grouping the Nationality column by Gender. That i resolved by creating a crosstab query. Now, I want to put a criteria on Date field so that when the query is run it will ask for the date input and will only show the Nationality and Gender result for specific dates. But when I write something in Criteria field it shows an error saying: "The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize "[Registration Date]" as a valid field name or expression"..

PARAMETERS [gUserID] Long;
SELECT [Id],'Complaint' AS IncidentType FROM tblComplaints WHERE tblComplaints.[Id] IN (Select Incident_ID from tblNotification where Dept_ID IN (Select Dept_ID from tblUserDepts Where User_Id = [gUserID] ) AND Incident_Type = 'Complaint');

like
Me.ListNew.RowSource = "qryTest " & gUserID &";"
or
Select * from qryTest , 31 - where 31 is the value fed to the parameter


??? does anyone know? I know it can be called in APS like this:

Dim Conn
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open strConn ' strconn is my connection string
set rsP=createobject("adodb.recordset")
conn.qryTest 31
.....

I can't believe I can't do it from the query string!

Queries :: Search For Multiple Plot Numbers Preferably In One Parameter Prompt With Comma To Separate Numbers

Aug 12, 2014

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -

i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too

I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?

i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:

Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"

The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

How To Handle Multiple Null Values Using Form-based Parameter Queries

Nov 19, 2012

i'm creating a search form giving the end user a range of controls to use when filtering/searching data. See the image.But, i think my range search (using the textbox) to put in a lower and upper limit...is preventing this from working. In fact, when i put data into all the controls, no data pops up in my subform.

My query data source can also be seen...showing you how i've handled teh null entries. (i need to put in a null 'handler' for the two textboxes?)

Using "Or" In A Parameter Query Prompt

Aug 1, 2005

In trying to make a certain job more simple, I need to be able to allow a user to click on a shortcut to a query and then enter several parameters. Two of them will be Start Date and End Date. I understand how to do that portion; however, the users must also be able to type in multiple page numbers and display the records where those page numbers appear (one field). For instance, ordinarily, I would just go in and type "46" or "48" or "50" and it would display all of those records where the field contained one of those 3 numbers. I would like the Parameter Query to prompt the user to "Enter Page Numbers" and maybe even give a format; however, when I try this, it doesn't work no matter what syntax I use to enter the page numbers.

Any ideas?

Queries :: Format A Query Prompt?

Jul 17, 2013

I have this query that finds people based on a given id number that they own. The ID number is in the format of (0000-0000) The tables have input masks so that when entering the ID number all the user has to worry about is entering the numbers. I have a report for that shows every customer in the database and i want to be able to copy and paste the (0000-0000) portion of the ID number but the query is only able to find customers by (00000000) format is there a way that i can get the query prompt to ignore the dash in between the numbers or would it be easier to remove the input mask and enter everything manually?

Queries :: Expression Asking For Parameter - Date Selection Criteria

Forms :: Parameter Prompt When Closing Form - Access 2010

May 8, 2013

On a pop up form I have a list box. The row source for the list box is

Code:
SELECT tblWebOrder.WebOrderId AS [Web Order No], tblWebOrder.CustomerWebOrderNumber, Format([WebOrderDate],"dd/mm/yyyy") AS [Order Date], tblCustomer.CustomerName AS [Customer Name], tblArea.Area FROM (tblCustomer LEFT JOIN tblArea ON tblCustomer.[PhysicalAreaId] = tblArea.[AreaId]) INNER JOIN tblWebOrder ON tblCustomer.CustomerID = tblWebOrder.CustomerId WHERE (((tblWebOrder.Processed) Like [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![txtOrderStatus]) AND ((tblWebOrder.WebOrderDate) Between [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteStartDate] And [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteEndDate]+1)) ORDER BY tblWebOrder.WebOrderId DESC;

I have the following "On Click"event on the list box

Code:
Private Sub lstWebOrder_Click()
lngWebOrderId = Me.lstWebOrder.Column(0)
DoCmd.Echo False
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.Echo True
End Sub

When I click on some of the records on the list box the form closes. On some of the records I get a parameter prompt to enter:

Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!txtOrderStatus
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteStartDate
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteEndDate

I inserted the echo commands to prevent this, but this has not worked!

Why am I getting the prompts? How do I prevent them?

Trouble With Between Criteria In Parameter Query

Oct 8, 2007

In MS Access 97 I have a basic query based on a single table. When I use "Between [Start Date] and [End Date]" as the criteria in a date field it returns incorrect records.

It works correctly on date fields that are not calculated but not on the date field that is calculated. If I type in the actual dates in the criteria (instead of the prompts) it returns the correct records.

Is there a solution to this behaviour? I need the users to be able to input the dates.

Thanks.

P.S. I have tried using the base query as a subquery but I still have the same issue in the second query based on the subquery.

Multiple Selections For Criteria Prompt

Feb 7, 2006

I keep thinking this should be pretty simple, but more than 2 hours searching through posts has revealed no answers, probably because the answer is too simple.

OK, I have an append query. I've created a prompt to enter the number of the record the user wishes to append, as it is usually one single record. However, I've recently run into a problem that now there is the possibility of needing to specify more than one record at the same time to be appended.

How do I change the criteria syntax to allow the user to enter two, three, or a dozen (if need be) different record numbers? They are not listed sequentially, so I can't use a "between" statement. I've tried separating the numbers by commas, quotes, and so forth, but can't get it to recognise the records.

Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance. :o

Passing Criteria To Append Parameter Query Through VBA

Dec 6, 2007

Hello Everybody,

I have an append query that contains a parameter [PTIdent] under the field named PTID. I would like to be able to set the parameter through VBA from a control on a form eg Form!PTID

I use the following code as normal
Private Sub Command19_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command19_Click

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "apNewPres"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

Exit_Command19_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command19_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command19_Click

End Sub

Is there a way within this code to do this? I realise I could set the form criteria within the query itself. However I wanted to be able to use this query from multiple forms.

Thanks for any help
