Queries :: Parameter Query Failed Based On Selection From Drop Down List
Feb 23, 2014
When creating a query I have set up a parameter query as instructed (in this case searching for a name) but when I run the query it returns the error 'this expression is typed incorrectly etc.'
I have worked out that this must be due to the fact that the names are not typed in by a front-end user but need to be chosen from a dropdown list (which i have stored in a separate table) - So, the query seems to fail based on that.
I want to be able to choose an item from a drop down list (based on a query i.e. distinct products) and have the item chosen to be automatically used as a parameter in another query.
I have a query that allows the user to put in a date range - this works.He also wants to limit what he prints.
For example at the moment he gets
OrderA rest of line 1 for orderA OrderA rest of line 2 for orderA OrderA rest of line 3 for orderA OrderB rest of line 1 for orderB OrderC rest of line 1 for orderC OrderC rest of line 2 for orderC OrderD rest of line 1 for orderD . . .OrderZ etc
He only wants to say print lines for OrderA and OrderD. It's he's choice and not based on anything else already in the table.
I see that in the criteria on the design for the query it allows me to bbuild an expression and I can select a list box on the form such as
[Forms]![name of form where list box is]![name of list box].[EXPRESSION VALUES]
I don't know which expression value to choose. I have tried afterupdate and beforeupdate but none of the rest look like they are the ones I should be using.
Is there a way in which someone can select a table from a drop down list and then search that table for a record then move that record to another table.
For example.
User selects 'Mikey's_table' searchs for a record then move this selected record to 'Mandy's_table'
(all the tables have the same structure etc. identical apart from the name of the table and records within)
I have the list of tables that all the records will be on and the users will know which table the record is in, i basically need to know if there is an ability to search for a record over multiple tables then edit that record and move it to another Table.
I have tried to use a Union Query which works when searching but i cannot edit or move the record ...
Dear all, is it possible to run a query (or ideally a report) based on a selection from a drop down list in a form? (in accsess 97). The reson being is i have a big list of of codes for different absence reasons & at present the user has to type in the correct code to display the data in a report based on the code they enter, however its not easy for users to remember which code to type in to run a report.
Idealy what i would like is a drop down list with the absence codes & the absence desciption next to each code, then when the user selects a code from the list it displays the corresponding data in the report?
Is this possible?, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
I have a form with a drop down list, when the user selects an option and press a button. I would like to add the value of the drop down list to a table as a new record.
I need help to populate a certain selection from a drop-down (combo box).........OK I have a field named REP ID/REP NAME....(Rep stands for contractor)....Each Rep is assigned an ID and the first two numbers in the rep ID correspond to the territory in which they sell products...So for example 5830 John,Smith the 58 would be Northern California....Now what I want to create is a field named TEAM which would consist of Team A through Team D....Every Team is associated with different territory numbers to lets say I click 5830 John, Smith I would want Team A to automatically be populated in the TEAM field....Someone please helpp....And I hope I described it correctly
I have tab control form with (5) tabs. For this discussion - Tabs 1 through 5. For a blank (new) form sheet tabs 4 & 5 need to be hidden. Based on what is selected via the drop down box (on tab 1) then tabs 4 & 5 may remain hidden or needed to be un-hidden. Example: [DropDown1]
I think one I figure this out then I can use the 'OnCurrent' event to check the drop down selection as a user selects the a record or scrolls through records.
I have a form (DropDown form) that has 3 drop down fields, you select your values from the drop downs and you would push a command button that runs an event procedure which runs a query (DropDown qry test). The user should have the option of picking any combination of fields to filter by. Or no combination, which would return all values in all fields. So I am basically using the form as parameter's for the query.
The problem I'm having is that my query is returning values for one field AND values for another field. Even if the other values selected are not in the same record. It's not combining the fields together to filter. For example: you pick a Project name and Supplier name, the query will return records that have the project name you selected but it will also return records with the supplier name you selected that have a different project name.
I've attached screen shots of the form and the design view of the query (the screen shot cut off the last column name. It is meant to say "Expr3: [Forms]![DropDown form]![Combo7]").
Using Windows 7, Access 2010
Is there a way to select multiple values from the drop downs?
Is it possible to add a field (i.e., variable) to a query (or SQL programming) based on a form selection?For instance, if I use a form to allow an end-user to specify which fields they wish to include in the query (essentially creating a UI for the query builder), how would I go about creating the query/SQL or updating the query/SQL?
I am currently working on an existing database (not created by me) which contains several queries. Each query relates to a particular product.
I am wanting to create a form which has a combo box so that a user can choose a particular product from the combox options and then click on the command button to run the correct query.
How to do this. I have created the form and the combox (together with the list of products). I just need to know what Event Procedure code I need to enter to programme it to look for the correct query and then run it.
For example.
I have the following queries product1query product2query product3query
I have the following options in the combo box product1 product2 product3
How do I get the command button to look at the product1 option in the combo box and then find and run the product1query.
In my form's table (tblMain), I've got a lookup field (drop-down list) that lists the primary key field from a different table (tblDiff). tblDiff includes 3 more fields. In my form for tblMain, I want to include 3 more textboxes that get filled up with these 3 fields from tblDiff when the corresponding primary key is selected in the drop-down box.
Within a query, I'd like to reference another query field based on a date specified as a parameter.
In my query, there are fields for each month: [January],[February], etc.
I have a field titled [Current Month], based on the parameter [As Of Date]. So if when running the query, the parameter pops up and I type 5/6/2013, it knows that the month is May. I know how to return May in the current month field (format([As Of Date],"MMMM"). But how to I return the value that is in the May column?
I have a form that contains a list box with 11 separate options. Within this list is the option named "None". My desire is to have a message box displayed when any option is selected other than "None". I have searched various threads, however I have been unsucessful nailing down my issue. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
I'm building a customer form using a list box of summary customer info on the left side of the form (CustId and Names) and customer details on the right hand side. I want the details shown on the right to be those for the customer selected in the list box on the left. I'm having problems getting the details to update when a different record in the list box is selected or clicked.
I originally set the data source for the detail records to the base customer table but couldn't work out how to update them when the list box was clicked!
I then tried creating a query with the select clause conditional on the list box (CustId = Me.qryContactDetails) and set the data control source for the detail record to the query (=[qryContactDetails]![FirstName]). The query works as expected but the field in the form just shows '#Name?'.
I tried adding a field requery on the List31_Click() event using Me.[FieldName].ReQuery but that didn't seem to change anything
I have a form whereby a user for my database can be created. The fields required are listed below:
Payroll ID Forename Surname Location Manager
The last two fields are related to two other tables; tblLocation and tblManager, which are related to one another.Each location (there are three) can have more than one manager, however, a manager can be associated with only one location.I would like whomever is creating the user to only be able to select a Manager that works at a particular location, currently, I can select LocationID 1 and ManagerID 3, but ManagerID 3 works at LocationID 2.
How can I base the 'Manager' field in my form on the previous field's selection, e.g. 'Location'.Also would need to restrict the order in which the form's fields are enter, i.e., 'Location' before 'Manager'.
Upon the results which populate my list box what I am trying to do is allow the user to select various values from the list box and then hit a button which deletes the values from the table. My code is currently:
Code: Private Sub Del_TsCorrection_tbox_Click() Dim lngID As Long Dim strSQL As String
[code]...
But it doesn't delete, infact it doesn't do anything. The list box values are still in the list box and if I look in the table they are still there also.
I have created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?
I have a list box (List25) that is generated from a query (qryThisBox). One of the fields in that query uses the criteria [Forms]![MyForm]![SelectedField] to filter.I also have combo boxes in the form that List25 displays in. Unfortunately, I want to requery the list box in the form, using a combo box that calls the same underlying table field, SelectedField.
How can I do this? Can I somehow dynamically change the criteria in qryThisBox to change when it gets requeried?How do I stack combo box requeries, eg: Combo Box 1 gets selected - does a requery
and/or
Combo Box 2 gets selected - and filters the results of the requery for Combo Box 1.
I'm trying to create an query that has two separate expression in it and a date selection criteria. The first expression is,
Expr1: DateDiff("s", [Arrival Time 1],[Departure Time 1])/3600
and the second is,
Expr2: IIf([Expr1]>[Hours Per Day],[Expr1]-[Hours Per Day]
When I run this query it asks me for the date (which is fine) but then it also pops up a box asking for "Expr1". How can I get "Expr2" to use the value returned from "Expr1"?
In my table I have the following fields that are tick boxes
Vee Cathedral Round Bilge Bilge Keel RIB Semi-Displacement Keel Lifting Keel
Each record can take a couple of these options. For example record 1 could be ticked for a 'vee' and a 'cathedral' whereas record 2 could be ticked for all of them.
I have been trying to use these to make a search form. I want to be able to chose on ie. 'Round Bilge' and it will search for a record that is ticked 'round bilge'. I have done this for both a combo box and a list box and have used the formula for each field [Forms]![Boatsearch]![hulltype]
When I have clicked run query I have an error message saying: 'This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables'.
