I have a form which I am using child/master fields to create a filter (see attached pic)
For the date ranges I need these to be
>= Start Date and <= Actual Finish Date
How can I set the criteria for these two fields, so that when someone picks a date it knows it's from or before the date entered.
I have 2 tables, master & child. with a one to many relationship.
On one of my forms I want to display some of the fields from the master table and only the last entry from my child table.
How would i accomplish this?
Hello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
I am building a user creation form. I have built it with 3 subforms
Subform 1 is voor general information about the user.
Subform 2 is some more specific information about the user
Subform 3 is more info about the same user.
Now when I create a user (record) in subform 1 it gets the primary key lets say 14. Then when i add information in subform 2. I want it to grab the Primary key 14 from subform 1. So that the information which is inputted in subform 2 will be related to information from subform 1. I get it working if I make a Main form and then put subform 2 and 3 in a subform and then let them grab the primary key from the main form. But how does this work with 3 subforms and no mainform.
How to structure some MS Access 2007 Forms for the following scenario.
My table structure is as follows:
Product
++++++
ID (pk)
ProductName
...
Tag
++++
ID (pk)
TagName
ProductTag
+++++++++
ProductID (fk)
TagID (fk)
I want to have a main form that allows me to search for and displays a list of all products (and the dozen or so attributes for each product) that meet that criteria (I'm thinking a continuous form view of products).
So far so good. No problems.
Now I want a "tagging" form to the right of my continuous forms product list that is linked to the product which currently has focus. The tag panel should always show a complete list of all Tags. I want a checkbox next to each tag that I can switch on and off whether that tag applies to the currently selected Product. I also want to be able to add tags on the fly (without leaving the main form).
I think I have three forms in play :
Main Form
Product Form (subform to Main) my product search criteria is probably on this form header.
Tag Form (also subform to Main)
But with this approach I'm have trouble linking the two sub forms to each other. Actually, I'm having huge trouble figuring out how to display the list of all tags with a check box that when checked on and off creates / deletes a record in the ProductTag table and I really want Access to do as much of the CRUD as possible. I would prefer to avoid writing screeds of SQL INSERTS/DELETES on events. Am I asking too much of Access?
I have a form, frmProjects, with a continuous subform, sfrPeopleOnThisProject. They have a master-child relationship. The form shows one Project record at a time, while the subform shows all the People records for that project. This works as expected - the correct records show up in the subform as you move through the form records.
To make it easier to glance through the list of subform records (as they can sometimes be quite long), I've added a navigation combobox to the header of the subform. If I understand correctly, as the combobox is within the subform, it should obey the master-child relationship: it should only show the subform records associated with the main form's current record. It does not. Instead, the combo box collects *all* of the records from the table that the subform is based on. So, choose the record for Project 1 in the main form. Up pops the 2 people on Project 1, but the combo box lists both the 2 people on Project 1 and the 3 people on Project 2.
The row source for the subform combo box is:
SELECT tblPersonOnProject.PersonOnProjectID, tblPerson.Fullname FROM tblPersonOnProject INNER JOIN tblPerson ON tblPersonOnProject.PersonFK=tblPerson.PersonID ORDER BY Fullname;
I can make the combo box perform as required by adding "WHERE Project=Forms!frmProject!ProjectID" to the row source and placing a hidden textbox on the main form for ProjectID (the autogenerated primary key) to sit. Have I misunderstood the point of the master-child relationship in the subform? This hidden textbox thing can't be correct.
HI everyone, I have a Sales Invoice form with a Receipts subform showing what receipts have been lodged against that invoice. It works fine as long as there is one receipt or more.
The problem is when no receipts have been lodged and there are no receipts to show in the subform. When I open the Sales invoice form I get a "you entered an expression with no value" error, then the Sales invoice form opens. I tried suppressing the warning with DoCmd.SetWarning False, but that hasn't worked.
Anyone know a workaround?
Hi,
We all know we're not supposed to duplicate data right? So was wondering how people deal with the deletion of Master records.
For instance let's say I have 3 tables.
tblSales
tblSalesSub
tblProducts
tblSales - lists the sales summary - stuff like SaleId, SaleDate, SaleTotal
tblSalesSub - lists the products contained within the sale.
tblProducts - is the Master list of products storing the product specifics
Now to prevent duplication of data I should just store the productId in tblSalesSub then reference that to tblProducts with an innner JOIN of some kind.
But what if the Master record gets deleted? The reference is broken and NULL values are returned.
How do you deal with this?
Don't allow deletion of these records?But just hide them when deleted?
Duplicate data by storing the product title and description within tblSalesSub?
Tell the user - tough cheese you shouldn't have deleted it should you?
Any other ideas?

When trying to link parent to child in master and subform, I am getting a pop-up:
Subform Field Linker
"Object variable or With block variable not set"
I have a relationship between two tables; the parent table is "Client Information" with a primary key of "Client_ID", the child table is "Event Information" and the foreign key is "Client_ID".
I know that within the Event Information table I can select which Client_ID to use as the link. I want to have that done within a form, however. I have a form for Client Information with a subform for Event Information. If I go into the table and manually set the Client_ID then everything displays fine.
How can I set the Client_ID in the subform to automatically match the Client_ID in the main form? I can only assume that these solutions require the parent/child relationship to already have been established.
I have a form in access where i need to select a record between two different dates. For example i have a "valid_from" and "valid_to" field. I have an unbound text box with short date format and calendar control inserted for users to select a date. This is named "drpdate".
I have a bunch of other filters also in the same form. Now my issue is that i have not been able to figure out how to put in a SQL statement which would give me the data which is between the "Valid_from" and "valid_to" fields based on the date selected in the unbound text box.
If the selected date does not meet the criteria, then it needs to be give the results from another table (which i have already done).
I have done this by linking the relationship between a person and a company (company-personID) with the table "alternates". In a subform for the information about the company itself, it shows the people associated with the company, as well as their alternates (assuming they're a director). It works just fine when I view a director's alternate, as John Tong here has his alternate as the person with relationship number 7. However, the whole thing is made useless when I view it from an alternate director's point of view, like Peter Chan, where he's displayed as the director, and the alternate is null. After poking around for a bit, it turns out that the child field is ALWAYS director.
What I want is for it to show the alternate or director based on who's being shown in the subform, i.e. Peter Chan is filled as alternate with the director being shown as "1". I've tried setting up expressions and putting up multiple master and child fields, but they just mess up Access.how I could display the names instead of the company-personID in the "alternates" subform,.
I have a master table with about 40 fields. In addition, I created eight child tables with read only datasheet views of limited fields from the master table. The child table views are based on certain critera in the master table and are being refreshed by using delete and append queries tied to the On Current property of a form. By double-clicking a specific child record, a form is opened to allow editing of the master record. Also, I am using Referential Integrity and Cascade Update Related Fields to update the child table when a change is made to the master. However, I do not know how to add a record to one or more child tables when a record is added to the master table. The new child record would have to be based on the same critera that the append queries use so it gets added to the correct child table or tables.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use VBA to create a filter by date range. the user inputs 2 dates and the database filters all records by dates in between the 2 dates,
Code below
Dim var_CustDate1 As String
Dim var_CustDate2 As String
var_CustDate1 = InputBox("Please enter start date in format DD/MM/YYYY", "Enter Date", Date)
If Not IsDate(var_CustDate1) Then
MsgBox ("not a valid Date")
[Code] ....
I've tried every combination of format for the dates but this is the closest ive got it to work,
if i enter dates 01/09/2013 and 12/09/2013 the filter works for the days in the month but also displays previous years, but if i change the dates to 01/09/2013 and 13/09/2013 it starts displaying all dates for all years in the months September, October, November and December.
I am updating an existing database and I have a parent/child form and I want to filter the subform for the current parent form record? The two forms are linked together by woWorkOrderID/deWorkOrderID.

I run various queries on a daily basis for multiple date ranges (previous day, week to date, month to date, and year to date). The below criteria allows me to get WTD numbers but it has a flaw. When I run the reports on Monday, this criteria gives me Sunday and Monday's data when I actually want the previous week's data. Does anyone know of an iif statement that basically, says, "If today is Monday, give me last week's data, else give me wtd of the current week?" Right now, I manually change the criteria on Monday morning to hard code the dates and then revert to the formula on Tuesdays but I need to have this completly automated because there are a large number of queries and I don't have time to change them all. Thanks for the help!
Between Date()-Weekday(Date()-1) And Date()-1
I received help on previous threads. Basically, I have built a query to group by course title and then select the number of students that were assigned a course during a specifc time frame. Is there a way to show multiple columns in the query. For example my query now shows, enrollment for March, I would like to column next to it to show enrollment for Feb and then another column for Jan.
This is my current sql view.
PHP Code: SELECT tblContent.Title, Count(*) AS [Students Assigned]
FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName
WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Robins") AND ((tblContent.Code) Like "NH*") AND ((tblProfile.Groups) Not Like "*Professional Development Center*" And (tblProfile.Groups)<>"All Users,Professional Development Center") AND ((tblProfile.Delete)<>Yes) AND ((tblContent.Type)="Learning Track"))
GROUP BY tblContent.Title, tblContent.[Date Assigned]
HAVING (((tblContent.[Date Assigned])>=#3/01/2004# And (tblContent.[Date Assigned])<=#3/31/2004#));
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
I have a table with employee names and there start time and stop time for their shift. There is also a start time and stop time which they cant work during their shift. So I have shiftstarttime and shiftstoptime and codestarttime and codestop time. I have to create a table with the employee names and generate a time called outboundtime. This outboundtime starts at a specified time (e.g. 9am) and runs for a specified time (60mins). This outboundtime has to be within the range of the employees shift and cant be within the range of the cant work time. If it was, then it would start after the codestoptime for that employee.
I have been trying "if then statements" but I can't seem to compare a range of time to another range of time. Only a specified time to a range which is making things confusing.
I have a Master form which includes tabs within the tab I have subforms. I am looking for a way to filter my master form based on data found within my sub form.

Am posting this message (also on reports forum) as i dont know whether the problem is at report or query level. Hope you can help.
Hello all, this is probably simple but im new to all this!
I am trying to produce reports that show details for only the past year, at present my reports are bringing up details of all the previous years also. Is there any way you can put conditions on reports ( or should it be in a query) that tells the report to only include dates i.e. today - 365 days. At present i have to change the dates every day both a start and end date. Is this possible?
Thanks
I am attempting to create a parameter query to show a specific range of dates of service for my customers. Example: I want to see data from my table from Jan. 1st, 2006 to Feb. 15th, 2006 for any customers serviced in that time frame. In the query I have under my Date field, I have the following in the criteria field: Between [Input Start Date] And [Input End Date]. When I go to the while in the design mode of creating the query on the main menu under Query then to parameters and get my Query Parameters what should be put into the Parameter column and the data type columns and will this allow the user to input any start date and end date and get the information from the master table?
I also need to create a parameter query that will allow viewing of only each months table data. Example: Jan. 1st, 2006 through Jan. 31st, 2006.
Thanks in advance!
I must be having a bad day, as I can't get something really simple to work. I have a query, that amoungst other things, I want to select all records between two dates. For instance, the table has a 'ScheduledDate' field, and I have set up two parameters in the query that prompt for 'From' and 'To' parameters.
In design view, I have tried the following in the 'criteria' box for the 'ScheduledDate' field;
>=[From] <=[To]
This doesn't work ~ can anyone point me in the right direction. I've searched the forum, perhaps not using the correct keywords?
All help appreciated.
Calculating dates between TWO date ranges:
I've read alot of good things on here regarding the DateDiff function and some other things that have helped me out finding the difference between two dates within the same entry on a table. I have a question regarding finding the difference in days between two entries within the same table.
Example:
test table:
Date ID # Name
1/18/07 1234567 Smith
1/20/07 1234567 Smith
1/23/07 1234567 Smith
Is there a way to find the difference in days between the lowest and highest dates? I want to know how many days are between the first entry and the last entry? In this cae it would be five days. I can do it if the days are in the same entry with the datediff function, but having trouble finding it in this situation. Any pointers?
(Thanks for all the good information on this site, BTW. I've seen a few posts similar to this, but it didn't really answer my question)

I am trying to put together a quick database for my HR team. I need to be able to pull multiple date ranges to show which employees are up for an annual, 6 month and 90 day review.
Is it even possible to put multiple date ranges in one query, or is this going to get complicated? I have no real database background, and know absolutely no SQL so I'm flyin by the seat of my pants here...
