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?
View RepliesI need saving 2 input fields into a table. Here is the situation
tableA
studentID
Name
tableB
studentID
Name
Course
Fee
I have a form with a drop down list, to select studentID from tableA. I selected a dropdown from studentID to display Name, and that I tied to txtName
I then type in txtCourse and txtFee whatever value I want, example:
txtCourse = English
txtFee = 50.00
Now, I'm able to transfer studentID and Name from tableA and save to tableB, and delete the record I just selected in tableA.
The issue is, I can't save the txtCourse, txtFee as I don't know how.
Here is what I have
Private Sub Insert_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tableB SELECT studentID, Name FROM tableA WHERE studentID = '" & txtstudentID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
strSQL = "DELETE FROM tableA WHERE studentID = '" & txtstudentID & "'"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
End Sub
I'm stuck on how to save txtCourse and txtFee into tableB where I have Course and Fee fields.
I'm using an Excel spreadsheet that is importing external data from an access database in which I've got a field where the name of a person checking materials out is entered. it is currently set up, and I cannot change it, as a free form field. So folks enter information in a variety of ways.
For example, Larry Martin might be entered as "Larry Martin" or "Martin, Larry" or "larry.martin@somewhere.com". I'm trying to run a query that would look in that field for any entry with the string I enter, such as "Martin."
I've tried setting the criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Which Last Name] & "*"
However, when I try and run the query I get a message telling me the system is expecting two parameters.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've been banging my head against this for awhile now and am thoroughly stumped! All assistance, as usual, is greatly appreciated!
Co-worker asked me if there was a way to add a drop down selection menu to a parameter box. Seems like ACCESS can do a lot of neat things.

I am totally green and using unbound form
E.g.
Input
Year - Period - Month - # of working days
2014 - 01 - January - 22
2014 - 02 - February - 20
would like to save the record as follows
2014-01; January; 22
2014-02; February; 20
means input "2014 & 01", become one "2014-01"
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.
We have a database created in access 2000 laying on a server that two clients connect to using access 2000 from WinXP Pro. We have just moved the database from our old win2000 server to a 2003 server. The clients now logon to a 2003 domain instead of the old 2000.
Since we moved to 2003 only one user can open the database at a time, when the second user tries to open nothing happens. There's no error message, there's just nothing happening! When the first user close access the other user can open the db.
What's going on????
Every time I run a query that I have created it asks me to input Expr1 and Expr2 in an enter perameter value pop up box. I don't enter anything, just click okay and the query runs as expected.
Is there a way to get rid of these? (and maybe more importantly, why do they appear?)
I am currently working on small access 2010 database where the database consists of a table and one input form. This input form will be mainly used by two persons. In the form there is a dropdown where one selects his name to keep record who entered the data, however I would like this to be according the logged in domain account. This will make sure none of them selects the wrong user by mistake.
Is there a way how get the current logged on domain account into the form ?
I have a table which holds information on audits that have been carried out on staff member's actions. The 'Supervisor' field is populated via a combo box which is linked to a separate table (tblSupervisors).
I am now trying to build a query to allow me to extract all audits that have been carried out on a specific supervisor - rather than the criteria to be [Enter Supervisor Name] and allowing text entry, I thought it would be better to have form that pops up with a combo box that is used to select the supervisor (from tblSupervisors);
So far:
- Form "Supervisor_Select" is created, and has a combo box that looks up from tblSupervisors
- Macros as specified in the instructions are created (Open Dialog, Close Dialog, OK and Cancel)
- Query is done, all bar the criteria expression on the desired field.
- Module is created as described in the instructions, and is called "Supervisor_Select"
I have tried putting the following in the criteria;
[Forms]![Supervisor_Select]![cboSupervisor], however I think I am missing the bit where the query opens the "Supervisor_Select" form?? Will this only work from a button where the on click event runs the 'Open Dialog' macro and then runs the query?
Hey all,
I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,
Matt :confused:
Hi all, i have a 2 fields in a subform named "HRS_ABSENT" & "ABSENCE_REASON" i'm trying to create some code that will display a message if the user inputs any number into the "HRS_ABSENT" field & leaves the "ABSENCE_REASON" field empty. I want to force the user to select a ABSENCE RESON (these are 3 letter codes) from the drop down list, if they enter a number in the HRS ABSENT field. Ive tried the below code but it doesnt do anything :-(
Anybody please help me out?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If HRS_ABSENT = >0 & ABSENCE_REASON = FALSE Then
MsgBox "Please select an Absence reason"
Cancel = True
End If
I have a simple form with a text box, I enter a series of part numbers separated by newlines, and then I use the following code to query for each of the separate part numbers:
Code:
Dim strSql As String
Dim part_nums() As String
Dim num As Variant
Dim multivar As Boolean
multivar = False
[Code] ,......
This all works perfectly, but what I need to do is have the query return the records in the same order I entered the part numbers. They are automatically returned in alphabetical order by item_no, and when I enter 15+ part numbers it becomes slightly difficult to search through them all on the form to find the one I am looking for. It would be a lot easier if they were output in the same order that I type them in. Is there any way to make this happen?
I have a database table in which I'm trying to pull sales data and generate sales reports from. The problem I face is that the sales data is recorded into a table with this structure:
Year | Customer | Sales_Month_1 | Sales_Month_2 | Sales_Month_3
Rather than having a single field "Month" in which I could set criteria or prompt the user to select a month to derive sales data from, I need to write a query that through user input (or through some code within the query) the right field will be selected. An example of this would be generating a report for the 1st month of the year, obviously.
I have a cross tab query that takes input from the user. The code is as under:
PARAMETERS [START_MONTH] DateTime, [END_MONTH] DateTime;
TRANSFORM Round(Sum(([A_GAS_m3]+[NA_GAS_m3])/1000000),3) AS GAS_MMSCM
SELECT maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block
FROM maindata RIGHT JOIN PRODUCTION ON maindata.field_block=PRODUCTION.FIELD_BLOCK
WHERE ((PRODUCTION.MONTH) Between Format([START_MONTH],"dd-mm-yyyy") And Format([END_MONTH],"dd-mm-yyyy")))
GROUP BY maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block
ORDER BY maindata.on_off, maindata.state, maindata.OPERATOR, maindata.field_block
PIVOT PRODUCTION.ACTIVITY;
I am facing 3 problems with the above code:
1. Access prompts to enter the start month and end month even when I click the save button.
2. When I run the query it prompts to enter the start month and end month twice.
3. I have generated a report based on the above query. When I run the report it keeps on prompting for start month and end month and does not give the final result.
Is it a common problem with cross tab queries?
I have a crosstab query. users need to run the query for any week of a year. It is always a YTD query. I have used this process on many select queries. Will a crosstab query not support this simple method? See attached screen shots.

Is there an easy way to get user input like the parameter value box in an update query, where you want the user to specify the table name and field name to run the query on?

Good Morning
Looking for the user to select a product name from a drop down box (not type in) when running query / report which will return details on only that product rather than all others in the query.
I have got major problems with the custom dialog boxes -- have got a table of product names, a query called current stock ( active products) . I can easily get a standard dialog box by putting [product code] in brackets in the query and this is not a problem. However in getting a custom dialog box I have had lots of problems.
Created a form called form999 which has product name field as a combo box and this has been named master1 . Clicking the form on it's own brings up the dialog box correctly and the drop down box selects the current products which is should do.
However linking it to the query I have put [Forms]![form999]![master1] in the query and it will not link unfortunately and is driving me mad.
Upon running the query it simply brings up the standard dialog box with [Forms]![form999]![master1] as the "enter parameter value. Understand code is required to get the OK and cancel macros working etc but when I click the query it should bring up the custom box which is the first stage and it is not ?? Any assistance would be greatly received.
Are there any sample DBs which have a field or related parameter as a customer dialog box -- have looked for examples without success.
many thanks and regards

Is it possible to have the user select which field is added to the query through a parameter? In my query I have a table where each record has a part number and has sales number for each month. When the user runs the query I want them to be able to select which month is returned.
My table basically looks like this:
PartNumber,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May etc.
01PartNumber,15,20,30,25,28 etc.
02PartNumber,12,14,12,16,20 etc
I want the user to enter "Mar" when prompted and return the parts numbers with values from "Mar".
Access 2007
I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.
I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
I have a form in Access2000 with 5 text fields which get transferred to the table for each new record. Is there a way i can "LOCK" one field so that once the user has input that data it never changes until closed. I can already lock the field but once i create a new record the field then goes blank.
