Queries :: Formatting A Text Box Control For Use In Query Criteria?
Dec 11, 2013
I have a totals query that provides an avg for each month. i'd like to be able to use a text box control (named "Date") on a form (named "Report Runner") to show only a certain month and it's avg.
I tried using this as criteria on the "MonthGroupPMC" field:
I have a query in my database called "Open Date" which is a date formatted field when imported as DD/MM/YYYY. The criteria is set to:
>=#06/04/2014# And <=#05/04/2015#
The query works just fine. My customer has come back and asked for the way the date is displayed to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format (i know it's not ideal but thats what they want). When i've done that using the following
I want the Query Criteria to pull its value from a control on a form.The form control either has data or is null. (My problems occur when the form control is Null). The field in the table either has data, is null or is blank.
Code: =IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![FormControl]),"" Or Is Null,[Forms]![FormName]![FormControl])
This works for the records with fields that are blank.
This works for the records with fields that have data.
Code: Like IIf(IsNull([Forms]![FormName]![FormControl]),"*",[Forms]![FormName]![FormControl])
This works for the records with fields that are Null or Blank if i drop the iif function but then i lose the ability to pull criteria data from the form control.
I would like to change the text formatting (color, italics, bold etc) of the contents of a control based on a boolean value in the underlying datasource of the report.
For instance, I have a report that generates a "Proforma Invoice" i would like to ability italicize the prices of certain items based based on a boolean value (EstimatedPrice) in the underlying datasource.
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
I'm trying set the query criteria from a textbox on a form. It's a Status field in the query. 1 = Open, 2 = Closed. If I set the criteria to "1" it shows all open, "2" and it shows all closed and "1" or "2" it shows all. The problem I'm having is setting these in the form. I've set the query to pull the value from the form. I can get the Open or Closed to work but not the All. My textbox shows exactly how the criteria should read "1" or "2" but doesn't show any results.
I've got a continuous form based on a query.Each of the fields have a search box below it (in the footer) which should ideally filter the query.I'm starting with the FirstName field.In the form's query, I've set the criteria to the following for the FirstName field:
Code: Like "*" & [Forms]![frmStudentDetails]![txtSearchFirstName] & "*" frmStudentDetails is the form name. txtSearchFirstName is the search box's name (in the footer). The AfterUpdate event for txtSearchFirstName is:
Code: Me.Requery
But, it doesn't work; when I switch to form view, it displays an error. The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![frmStudent Details]![txtSearchFirstName]' as a valid field name or expression.
Am not getting a value from a form text box when using in the criteria line in my query. Am referencing like [Forms]![FormName]![FormLabelName]. If I copy the data in the form and paste it into the query, it works fine, but if I just reference the form, I get no results.
My form is based on a table (SOP TBL) and has several text boxes with control sources of the records in the table. I need to add a criteria to one field (SOP Number) so that only current versions of the number show up. I have the SQL for a query that I use in another form for a combo box as shown below. What this criteria does is find the version number which is the last 2 digits of the SOP Number and displays only that record for the SOP Number in the combo box. How can I apply this code to the text box with the control source directly from the table so only the current records are displayed on the form?
Code: In (select max([SOP Number]) from [SOP TBL] group by left([SOP Number], len([SOP Number]) - 2))
I've been writing queries in the following format for years in Access 2003, but having recently transistioned to Access 2010, I've found the following sql doesn't work.transform
sum(s.value) SELECT s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name FROM supply_points s , codes c WHERE s.code = c.code and s.id is not null and s.code = 1075 and s.month >=[forms]![main]![gppstart ] group by s.sn, s.ln, s.pn, s.id, s.lat, s.point, s.supply_type, s.used, s.real, s.code, c.name pivot s.month
In Access 2010, this query returns the following error message:the Microsoft Access database does not recognize '[forms]![main]![gppstart]' as a valid field name or expression
I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I have a form (named frmAddSession) with a combo box (named Band_Name) and lets say i have it displaying the band "Band A"
I have a query where the criteria is [Forms]![frmAddSession]![Band_Name]. when i run the query the results are blank. but if i type ="Band A" it works just fine.
why won't my reference to the combo box on the form work?
In a series of deductions to try and figure this out, my form only has the one combo box, and my query is based on only one table and only has the one field.
I'm setting up some analytical reports and i'm having a hard time with some date criteria.
I've gotten monthly averages already and what i want to do is take those monthly averages, and average them throughout the year. (the year being from the specified date on a form control back one year)
Month([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) and Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]) worked great for specifying a certain month in a certain year, but what i'd like is to show all the monthly numbers for every month going back one from [Forms]![ReportRunner]![Date1].
I tried this:
Code: >(Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1])) And <((Year([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date1]))-1)
I'm trying to build a query criteria for a tab control with three different tabs. They are all using the same subform in each page. I want to be able to set the criteria for one specific field to the current tab control page that is selected. Does anyone know how to do this? I wasn't able to find it on the forums...
I have successfully put together some VBA code that will accept a user's input into a textbox on a form. A cmdFindprinter button is clicked and the query is ran. The user is asked via an inputbox for their login ID so that the query is exported to a text file on the desktop. The query then pops up in a new tab and also automatically exports the queried record to a text file on the desktop. I have upward of 30 users using this form at any given time and I need the following automated.
What I would like to do is to have the text file go into a specific format. For example:
IP address: Serial number: Location:
The name of one of the queries is "Xerox IP Query", the field names would be "IP Address", "SerialNumber", and "Site Name".
This is what comes up in the text file right now:
"CXF345946","157.229.243.58","123 Happy Ave"
I'd like to remove the quotes and have the info fall into place as shown in the example above.
This is the code so far:
Code: Private Sub cmdFindprinter_Click() On Error GoTo cmdFindprinter_Click_Err Dim strPath As String userNT = InputBox("Please enter your NT ID", "ServiceBase Xerox Printer Query", "Enter your NT ID") strPath = "C:Users" & userNT & "DesktopPrinterQuery.txt" If Heading = 0 Then Exit Sub
I'm working on a report called Open Orders and when the database loads, it takes you to a Navigation Form. You make some selections mostly from combo boxes, then click run report which runs a query then launches the report.
I want the user to be able to click a check box called "Ready Only". If the checkbox = True, then I would like the field "Ready Pieces" in the query to have the criteria ">0". If the checkbox = false, I want that field to show all values (*).
I have no problem setting the criteria of a query field to equal that of a combo box value (Warehouse Like ([Forms]![Process Form]![Warehouse] & "*") but have problems when the criteria isn't the exact same as the value of the control.
Things I have tried to no avail: Putting a Iif statement in the query criteria: gives an error that criteria is too complex Creating an invisible text box whose value is determined by the checkbox to ">0" or "" then basing the Ready Pieces criteria equal to this....doesn't work Trying to use the DoCmd.RunSQL with my SQL code that changes via VBA when the checkbox is changed...Get an error and the SQL doesn't run
I need to pass a criteria to a query from my option group control to my query.
It contains three options 1,2 and 3.
If option 3 then Pricing Type 1 and 2
How do I make the code below working?
IIf([Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType] Like 3,([dbo_AGPricingDiscounts].[PricingType])="2" Or ([dbo_AGPricingDiscounts].[PricingType])="1",",[Forms]![FrmUserSelection]![PricingType]")
I have some filtering criteria in a query that is based on some unbound text boxes in a form. These text boxes contain start and end dates. This form is not based on any table or query. All controls are unbound.
The query functions properly initially, however, I am programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes in the form that are used by the query. After their values have changed, the query doesn't seem to recognize the change and therefore returns no values.If I manually change the the values in the text boxes and run the query it works fine. However, I would like to avoid doing it this way, if at all possible.
After programmatically changing the values of the unbound text boxes, I tried setting the focus to the text boxes, setting the focus to other controls, refreshing the form, requering the form, requerying the text box, so forth and so on.
I need to set calendar control as criteria for date in VBA query. I cannot find Calendar control in ActiveX tools in Acc 2010. Where is it?
Date picker seams like very slick and simple solution but I can see it only in database. As it might be solution to my problem, can date picker be used on a form as criteria for VBA query?
The data within my tables is formatted correctly and when I run a standard query on the data, it comes through the query with the same formatting. However, when I run a query that needs to total the values (whether it's sum or average) the values lose any formatting (and by total I mean the one in design view, not in datasheet view).
I then need to manually format each columns "Format" and "Decimal Places" properties to what I want. I have quite a few queries with quite a few columns, so this is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this faster without VBA? In Excel I can simply highlight multiple columns and format all of them or apply a format painter. I don't see any similar functionality in Access 2010.
how to conditionally format query results? I have read another forum post that says that query conditional formatting is possible.This database keeps track of projects and their associated tasks & statuses. I created different queries depending on task name( i.e. assignment date, approval date, etc.) Now, with some of the tasks, if it is overdue, it needs to be highlighted red. If it's cutting it close, should be yellow. I can't figure out how to set up a conditional formatting rule to address this. So instead I've had to create to separate queries for "red" and "yellow" rules, and display them separately in the Dashboard form.
I was wondering if anyone was fairly familiar with tab controls and how to format the look and feel of them? I was wondering how I can change it from being "sunken"? I don't see an obvious option when I click on the tab control. Also, is there a way to move the location of individual tabs along the top of the subform? Maybe even disconnect them as buttons altogether? anyone know? thanks a bunch
Is it possible to do a criteria like the "Between" to pull data like a work order number?
Ex WO#: WO5551212
I would like to be prompted to enter a Work Order Number when I run a query, then have the query display all of the data for that particular work order number.
I am creating a line graph from a running total query to show our income from items shipped for each month. Currently I have the following Code in my query which works but it displays the month as a number in my graph and I would like it to show the Month name.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND DatePart('m', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I tried this solution, but I get an error in the RunTot field, I'm assuming because Access can't use the month name in dsum.
Code: SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND MonthName(DatePart('m', [ShippedDate]))<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot FROM tblJobs WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null)) GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
Hi, How can I make the data in a textbox on my form automatically entered as the search criteria in a query. So say the box says Mike Johnson, can I make a command button (That I can eventually subsititute as the actual box) that puts the Nma emIk Johnson into a search query and brings up all the information on him from the database?
