i was wondering if anyone can help me with my problem.
im using a linked table to populate a report. the table is linked to an SQR output in a text file. one of the fields in the text file is a date in the format 31-Dec-2006.
when i create the link and set the format of the date field to date/time, it shows up as #Num! when i open up the table in Access and it does not show up at all in the report. can anyone explain why this is happening?
on the other hand, when i format the field as text in the table, it will show up both on the table and the report properly. will i be able to make a report filter if the format of the date field is text?
Using access 2007 (and tried 2003) I have a linked ODBC table which is using an ORACLE driver. If I query the table directly through ORACLE/SQL for a particular 'job number' I get the following results:
As you can see it only displays the MAX date/time and associated data from the 4 available records, duplicating the record. I've checked the field formats and they all look fine. It does the same if I pull through the table on it's own or with other linked tables.
I have a report that displays simple date fields. One of the fields is "lease execution". On the report, I want "lease execution" to display differently depending on the date the report was run.
So:
- If the "lease execution" date is more than 120 days away from today, I want it to display as Q YYYY. - If the "lease execution" date is between 120 and 90 days away from today, I want it to display as MM/YYYY - If the "lease execution" date is 90 days or less away, I want it to display the normal date MM/DD/YYYY
I was thinking I would need to do DateDiff() to figure out an amount of days that's between Now() and [Lease_Execution]. Then based on that amount make the report show it differently. Pseudocode would be: if DateDiff() = 40, then display [lease_execution] as MM/DD/YYYY
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
I am trying to clear a textbox after the user enters an invalid date and I do not know why the following code is not working:
Private Sub txtStart_AfterUpdate() If Not IsNull(Me.txtStart) Then If Not IsDate(Me.txtStart) Then MsgBox "You have not entered a valid date" Me.txtStart = Null Me.txtStart.SetFocus End If End If End Sub
On another thread in the forum I got to the position of the code below. However this code does not select only the read book with the biggest(latest) date, the Max, it displays all Read books.
SELECT Pupils.ID, Max (Read.DateOUT) AS MaxOfDateOut Books.Book FROM (Books) RIGHT JOIN (Read) ON Books.BookID = Read.BookID) RIGHT JOIN Pupils ON Read.ID = Pupils.Id GROUP BY Pupils.Id, Books.Book HAVING (((Books.Book)<>"Blank"));
I am trying to create some sort of warning to show that a date in one of my forms will expire in say 30 days. I need the warning to be a pop up (or similar) rather than be sent via email (only because I don't have Outlook set up and probably will not be able to). Effectively, I have a list of names and a column in my table to show an expiry date. To avoid missing the expiry date, I would like to be advised of this at least 30 days before hand.
I would like to import excel sheet that contains about 45 fields and the fields names are not well defined(not obey the Access rules). I would like to import the sheet into ms access without changing the excel sheet because i have to provide only the interface to users where they have to import sheets only. (All the time In Excel fields name are arranged and in specific order but invalid names of fields).
After 1 week the person has new excel sheet with same format and the process of importing data into ms access will be continue for whole year or more.
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
Code: tblequipment equipmentid equipmentnumber (user defined ID)
tblrentals rentalid rentaldate rentaltime fromparty (c for customer, e for employee, o for other) frompartyid (foriegn key to either customer, employee or other) toparty (same as from) topartyid (same as from)
tblrentaldetails detailid rentalid equipmentid
How can I get a list of ALL equipment showing the most recent date and time, also showing the respective toparty and topartyid? I can get it fairly easily, except for including toparty and topartyid.
When I have a 3rd table looking at the row source of the 2nd table, which is looking at the row source of the 1st table. I only get numbers.
Everything I have read so far points to using a query as a solution. However, the query I made is not updating the information from the 2nd table.
I have attached a few examples.
Attachment 6247
this below shows. I changed "Bakersfield-test1" in the original table. However, the query I made does not update, still showing "Bakersfield-test". When you click on the drop down, it shows the updated "Bakersfield-test1", but it does not repopulate my column with the updated info from the table.
I've created a "table" with all my cases which includes date, hospital, surgeon, etc. The hospital and surgeon column have always shown the actual name in text (dropdown) and now all of a sudden, it's just showing the ID only. Now when I go to add a new case, I have to know the number instead of the dropdown just working and being able to select a hospital name, etc. I'm not sure how to get it back to showing the actual name instead of the id number associated with it.
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a database as thus:
Several tables ->appended together using 'union select' into a query called 'sheet1'-> information that is coded converted via linked tables in a query called 'sheet2'
'Sheet 2' looks completely fine - it works dandy but when I try and run a pivot table not all of the values in one column that should show don't even come up as an option.
The values that are missing on the pivot report do actually exist in the query that it is running from.
There are no filters on and Pivot tables work okay on the origional tables.
I apologise in advance for my newbish question - I'm very green at Access. I'm trying to build a contact database for our company that lists Jobs done by customer.
I'll confess I "borrowed" the sample database provided with Access to help me out - which has worked well up until this issue.
The problem I am having is when I am working on our "Client Service History" form. (Basically the Workorders by Customer from the template - I can take a screen grab or something if it helps).
This form includes a sub-table which lists the WorkOrder ID by customer, the Date Entered, the Job Type, the Engineer and whether it was chargeable. The latter three options are choices controlled by combo boxes from the Workorders Form/Table. Where the status for "Chargeable" always comes up correctly, the Job Type and Engineer always show a number - which I presume is the ID of the label of each type - I.e. "5" refers to "Warranty Repair".
There are separate Data Tables for Engineers (EmployeeID) and Job Types (JobTypes). How do I get it to display each item correctly; as a summary of jobs done for each customer?
I have a database which has one main form linked to a table which has 325 records in it. The problem is when you open the form it says there are only 324 records :confused: I have gone through the table comparing the records with the form records, I found what I thought was the 'missing' record. But when I did a find on the form I managed to retrieve the record. Can anyone help as I'm a bit baffled.
I have a split database, a front for data entry and of course the back end with all the tables. I have created several Append queries to move records from one table to another (from Applicants to Students, once they are Accepted). The queries work - when I go into the tables and look, there's the data right where I told it to go. But when I open the Students input form (which draws from the destination table), the new data doesn't show up. I double-checked the destination table, and yes, the appended data is all there.
I tried running the simply query that populates the input form, and it doesn't show up in the simple query, either. I've tried Refreshing everything numerous times, tried updating the Linked Table Manager numerous times, opened and closed the program, and no dice - the data is in the table but never shows up in the simple query that populates the data input form. There's no filters on the simple query, so everything in the table should show up - but doesn't.
I am trying to run a query and for some reason its not showing the data from the table (its blank), this is a monthly reporting I do - last months query works perfectly.
Table: log and list
Here is the SQL
SELECT log.*, UL.langue, UL.version FROM log, (SELECT list.id, list.[langue], list.version, list.no_joueur FROM list GROUP BY list.id, list.[langue], list.version, list.no_joueur) AS UL WHERE (((log.id)=[UL].[id]) AND ((UL.no_joueur)<90000000));
I am working with a database and existing query from my predecessor. The field in the query appears in both the database table and the query.when I run the query it doesn't appear. Is there a limit to the number of columns in a query I easily added a new column and moved a column,
The first is my table of pupils which is linked to the second table: a list of awards and a score 1-5
My third table is the list of 10 awards.
My problem is that (in my report) I want to show all 10 awards for each pupil regardless of if they have achieved them. I'm struggling with the underlying query to always show all 10 awards.
So, little Johnny has achieved a score of 5 in two of the awards, however the report card will show blanks for the remaining awards on his report.
I have a database with 2 tables: tbl_Client and tbl_Orders
I would like to sum the total from the sold products and show them in the form in a text field called 'Total sales" the data from the table orders appear as a sub form in the main form Client.
It would be great to have for each client appear the total sales in the form, but I'm not able to find the formula for this so the table tbl_Orders field "TotalPrice" will be sumed.
I have an employee table(parent) and family (child)members table. I have a field in the Family table called employee which i have created the one(employee) to many (family relationship). When I add a new family member why does the employee id not show automatically show in family table. I have to add it manually.
i have 2 tables.. 1 with bookings and 1 with a BonusPeriod range.
in the Bookings table there is a field called [ServiceDate]
in the bonus table i have a field called [Period] which is text i also have 2 dates, [StartDate] And [EndDate] i need to Dlookup the Bonus table to return the value of the period table based on where the [ServiceDate] falls.
i dont want to use VBA (i really need it to work within a query that inserts it's data into another table)
i've tried everything but had no joy
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","[Staff_BookingsAndQuotes_Master].[ServiceDate]" Between "#[StartDate]#" And "#[EndDate]#")
Expr1: DLookUp("[Period]","BonusPeriods","(FormatDateTime([ServiceDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") Between (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![StartDate]),"yyyy-mm-dd") and (FormatDateTime([BonusPeriods]![EndDate],"yyyy-mm-dd"))))
