I am trying to copy the parameter value that is entered to a variable so that it can be used to run other queries without typing it in over and over. Once my form is finished it will run 4 queries, and the current setup is that I would have to retype the parameter each time.
I want to get the output of a vba query (only one solution possible) in to a variable but the variable stays empty.
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT info FROM evaluationtable WHERE evaluation= " & evaluationchoice & " ") var = rst(0).Value rst.Close
some explination: evaluation and info are fields of evaluationtable evaluationchoice is a field in an accessform where I can choice a value from the evaluation field
the table is build as this (only two fields) evaluation - info
We're using MS Access 2003 on a MS Access 2000 database file. There are several queries, tables, forms within the database. When we dclick a form the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box appears requesting input for "Enter Job ID#". The dialog box appears to be popping up due to settings within another query that is systematically called. We oblige and are taken to the results. When we click a dropdown box it is listing all the items in the database but it isnt filtering the contents based on the earlier provided parameter value as we'd hoped.
If I modify enter Design View and modify the dropdown box's RowSource SQL statement to include a WHERE clause all is fine but the provided value is fixed as opposed to a variable.
Is it possible to use the parameter value input from the dialog box as a variable for my dropdown box RowSource? I;ve already tried [MyExternalQuery].[Enter Job ID#] as a variable but no luck -- i just get another dialog box asking for input.
(a) The On Open event of my report contains a VBA Sub that assigns a value to a variable named vShow. (Tracking the sub in VBA shows that vShow is correctly being assigned the desired value.)
(b) I then use vShow to try to control a calculation that occurs in one of the text boxes of the detail section in the report
(c) Basically, the control source of the textbox contains (in part) the statement (vShow>[fieldA]), which is embedded in a longer function.
(d) However, when I type this in at Control Source box of the Data tab of the the Property Sheet, Access always substitutes "[vShow]" for "vShow".
(e) So what I get is ([vShow]>[fieldA]), which treats vShow as the parameter of a parameter query.
ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS AND HAVE vShow recognized as the variable I defined at On Open? Perhaps there needs to be a variable declaration there, that I don't understand.
The basic form (vShow>[fieldA]) does not seem to be the problem, because I can enter, e.g. (500>[fieldA]) and everything works OK.
I have a field in a query that shows amount of hours a site is covered. This field name is Coverage hours and it changes depending on the number of work days in a month. This part is working correctly but some times additional hours may be requested by the customer.
I want to add a another field to this query that will prompt me if their were any additional covered hours. Then I would have the ability to enter a value and the shown output for this field would be the value entered plus the standard coverage hours in the other field.
I am trying to modify the output to only show discontinued items. While the query is in datasheet view, the text is read as "YES" or "NO" under discounted items. So, I tried entering "YES" in criteria while in design view, but keep getting an error message stating, "Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
i have got 2 tables i am trying query against. in table 1 i have a list of records which only appear once in the table under 1 field. in table 2 list of records which may have the same record appear under the same field numerous of times with different data in other fields on the table. i have created the reationship between both tables but i am getting multiple records appear in the output of the query where i only want the record to appear once in the output.
Is there a built in function which can be used to create line numbers in a query?
I've written a query to calculate year to date (YTD) points for yachts in a series of races and sorted it in descending order - so yacht 1 is coming first, yacht 2 is coming second etc. I'm looking for a way to add sequential numbering (starting at one and increasing by one for each line) into the query to represent their YTD places. Or this this something that should be left to the report which uses the query?
I have a query that has three fields: 1) Days 2) Bit Size 3) Feet. The Days field has a date range specified in the Criteria that comes from two unbound fields on a form. I have a second query based on the first: Two fields are Days with the Total as Min and Max. Three fields are Feet with the Total as Min, Mac, Avg. One field is Bit Size with the Criteria as a specified bit size (i.e. 6.125). These queries are used on a report, and all data is inputted from forms prior to the report.
The queries work as expected with a specified bit size. My problem is that while Bit Size is normally chosen from a list of sizes, a custom size can be inputted. I am unsure how I can specify the Criteria in Bit Size to be a custom size..? To compound things further, more than one custom size can be used.
A) I need a way to pick out the custom sizes from the first query and B) use them as the Criteria for the second query. If I use VBA, I assume I could complete B) by using a WHERE clause (if the custom size(s) has been defined)...
Im trying to pass a list box variable in a select query. I understand you cannot pass a variable directly but have to pass it through a function. I may be wrong in this, but whatever I do I cannot get it to work. Here's my code:-
Public Sub GetEquipment() List387.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" List387.RowSource = "SELECT findequipstr() FROM Equipment" End Sub
Public Function findequipstr() As String If IsNull(List371.Value) Then GoTo function_end findequipstr = List371.Value function_end: End Function
If I MsgBox(findequipstr()) within my Getequipment function, the variable is messaged,
I wan't to create special query who show only special package. It must work that.
1. Client logg in. System rember his chose. varPrawa="Client" and varIDLogin=5
2. Client click at button "Show Your Package". At that moment query haven't got any criteria so it show every package but it must show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin so only package with IDClient=5 it is easy to create. I tell more it is still easy to join other person but only with varPrawa="Client" i want to create one query who must select by.
WHEN varPrawa="Client" then show only package with IDClient=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Kurier" then show only package with IDKurier=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Spedytor" then show only package with IDSpedytor=varIDLogin
WHEN varPrawa="Administrator" then show all package without varIDLogin criteria.
I create subraport who use chosen package in my list and display all special data using varaible but my problem is how to create query whose can select and display only package of that Client or Kurier or Spedytor.
At the end
When Client is online he can see only his packages special IDClient (any IDKurier, IDSpedytor) When Kurier is online he can see only his packages special IDKurier (any IDClient, IDSpedytor) When Spedytor is online he can see only his packages special IDSpedytor (any IDClient, IDKurier) When Administrator is on line he can see all packages (any IDClient, IDKurier, IDSpedytor)
I am trying to use a criteria to filter out nulls in concatenated variable, which slows the query considerably.The part that makes it slow looks like this -
WHERE ... AND (([tbl1].[x] & [tbl1].[y]) <> "") AND ...
If I work them individually, it's not a problem, the query is fast, but I have to combine them first in order to produce the correct output.
I have a table that has a date column. I am assigning one group of students a test date of 4/29 and another group 4/30. I don't want access to change the column or ask for a parameter during the query, but no matter what I do, it keeps asking me for a parameter. I just want it to use the data that is already in the column.
I tried changing the column name in Excel to DOT from Date. That didn't work.I also tried changing the column to text, so that it wouldn't be a "date." That didn't work.
I have multiple queries that I need to have filered by the same parameter (Client). There is a list of clients that receive this report (the report has a pre-made template with multiple tabs, hence the multiple queries).
Currently the user of the database has to filter the exported excel file for each client re-save and email basied on the client. The above is done when the user pushes the specified button on a form (which just says run report a on it).
I am trying to figure out how the write a code so that a parameter (or table if that would work better) pulls the first record of the Client query to filter the other queries being run. Then to loop that process with the second record and so on through the Client query until all the clients have had the report run for them.
Attached are the current VBA being used and the current SQL for the first query that needs the parameter value added.
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???
I have a query that checks a table where there's a field that only has numbers from 0 to 100 (a grade), let's call that field "average" (note, the values 0 to 100 are actual numeric values, not percentages)
here's the problem:
when I filter the query using a parameter like <[value] on the average field, the query does show the expected records that have an average value that is less than the value that I input when prompted... except that it also includes the records on which the average field is 100 ... ... for some uknown reason.
to clarify:it won't show anything over the imput value, it just shows anything under the value I imput (good) and anything that has an average of 100
when I hard code the value for the parameter say <65 the query gives me the results expected (anything less than 65 in the average field) without including records with average equal to 100
some details:
the average field has this code: Average: CInt(Nz([Grade]))
I need to apply a parameter to a query based on from combo box. I have added the ALL option to the combobox which that the user would select if they want to run the query to show all records;
E.g. Selecting ALL Countries would be the same as having no parameter or a wild card *
I have a table which has 8 fields. The task is to design a query which always shows the first two fields (or any other two specific fields) and any one of the remaining 6 fields based on the input from the user. I am using a simple form with combo boxes to get the choices from the user.
I am using the Multi Search from that's available in the template forum, and currently it's working perfectly. I am trying to add one checkbox (chkIncludeManifests) to the form to do some filtering.
When the box is checked, I should search all records. When the box is unchecked, I should search only records with no manifest number [manifestnum].
I've tried setting up an IIF statement to filter out the values that are empty but it's not working.
In Access 2003 I create a query which for one field was link to a value on a form.
Now I have to duplicate this form and instead to duplicate this query I wanted to use a parameter inside this query for one field and then via VBA call this query and give a value for this parameter.
My query name is: Query_Parameter
Fields inside: "Asset_Name" and "Isin" Parameter is under the "Isin" field: [Look_Isin]
My VBA code is:
Sub Test_Call_ISIN() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set dbs = CurrentDb 'Get the parameter query
