I have created an MS Access Form, an MS Access Query and a table depend on an excel file.
The form is named CheckForm and consists of a textfield for serialno, a search button (which has a makro to run a query) and a few fields with information, that should be filled by the query:
The query is named assets_ALT Abfrage - Serialno and looks as follows:
SELECT Assets_ALT.STREETADDRESS, Assets_ALT.FLOOR, Assets_ALT.ROOM, Assets_ALT.DEPARTMENT, Assets_ALT.ITC_NAME, Assets_ALT.ASSET_USER_NAME, Assets_ALT.PERSONID, Assets_ALT.COMPUTER_NAME, Assets_ALT.CATEGORY, Assets_ALT.MANUFACTURER, Assets_ALT.PRODUCT, Assets_ALT.MODELL, Assets_ALT.SERIALNUM, Assets_ALT.MAC_ADDRESS
FROM Assets_ALT
WHERE (((Assets_ALT.SERIALNUM)=[Formulare]![CheckForm]![SearchSerialNo]));
The table with information, on which the query is built looks like this:
When entering a serial no into the form like F7D5H92, clicking the Suchen-Button, the form should be filled with the data from the query.
But it does not, instead the query is being opened (and showing no result):
New to this site, but may be able to assist. First, you'll want to create a table by selecting 'External Data' and using the 'Linked Table Manager' to connect your Access program to the external Excel file and add all fields from the file. Use the Seriennummer as the primary key to ensure there is only one listing for the seriennummer.
Once connected you will need to create a query that has the criteria that refers to the 'Seriennummer' textbox to link the file with your form. For example, set the query criteria for that field to 'Like "" & [Forms]![Search]![Search2] & ""' if you form was named 'Search' and your textbox was named Search2. Then add a command button to your form and select the query to link the button to the query. Once you enter a serial number in the form and click the button, it should pull up the correct values on your form for that line item.

I am utilizing Microsoft Query in Excel to tap into an ERP table structure like Crystal would do.
In writing the SQL, is there a way to have a filter pulled from the active Excel worksheet that is embedded in the SQL instead of prompting and editing the query?
My main problem is a Like [Prompt]% in the Excel GUI for the users to change like order numbers.
Is it possible to do an off page reference from MS Query to Excel?
If by "Microsoft Query", you're talking about the window that looks like it was coded for Windows 95, stop using it. This is provided for retro-compatibility.
Anyway, if you've displayed the criteria bar in MS query, you can type a name between brackets e.g. [Something] and MS query will prompt you to fill a value.
Not what you want yet but getting close. When you return to Excel and refresh the query, the prompt will now offer you the possibility to use a cell instead of a value you need to type every type.
In the more modern connection utility accessible via menu data > Connections (+ available even if you created your table via MS Query btw), you can achieve that by using question marks in the WHERE clause.
For instance, instead of SomeField = 'SomeValue', write SomeField = ?
Then, click on the Parameters button and you'll see all the parameters you've set, each of them can be attached to a cell's value.
I have created a simple form in Powerapps which has a text input field called name and a data table which shows a list of all customers from a table called customer in a SQL Server database and I have also added a button labelled "Go" on the form.
What I want to do is:
See a blank data table when I first open the form
I would enter a customer name in the name text input field
Click the "Go" button and then the value from the name field will be passed to the SQL Server database in a query which only returns
the records which have the same name
Display the results of the query in the data table.
How can I do this?
Thanks
Assuming you've been able to correctly add your on-premise SQL server as a data source:
You'll want to use a combination of Collect() and Filter()
Assign your user input to a variable using (this isn't strictly necessary)
GetContext({UserVariable: TextInput.Text})
Use a combination of Collect() to store the data you pull from MSSQL, and Filter() to, well, filter the data.
Collect(AppStorageTable1, Filter('[dbo].SqlTable]', ColumnName1 = UserVariable))
If you assign AppStorageTable1 as your data source for your data table, it should now appear. (Note, you'll have to declare/create it before it will appear as an option, but once you've used the name in Collect() it will appear as a data source).
EDIT: The term you likely were looking for is "delegable", a quick search will yield a few articles about it. The "Filter" function will pass the work off to your SQL server, so your app won't be responsible for processing/filtering the data.
I'm a beginner developer and I need your help. I have Access database ( records were imported form Excel) and I made a form with checkboxes which names are the same like name of columns in database. I would like to connect them(I mean checkboxes) with this columns(from database) and make a button for printing only checked columns.
There is very simple in MS-Office 2016 to add Check Box. Open Ms Access, Locate your Table, Select Column where you want to add heck Box, Locate Field tab in Ribbon where you will find Yes/No under add & Delete Section. For reference screenshot is attached.
Yeah I have checked it is fine working here is entry table
Here is Report Print Preview
I have an Access 2007 database that will be housing tables which refer to the bill of materials for multiple products. On the main form I want a user to be able to select one of the products - OK, easy. Now, I want two queries to run once they press a button after choosing their product from a dropdown. The first query is a simple delete query to delete all information on a table. The second query is where I'm having my issue with my SQL syntax. I want the information from a static table to be appended to the table where the delete query just removed everything from.
Now, each table that houses the bill of material for each product is labeled with the product's name. So I want the dropdown (combo0) to be the reference point for the table name in the FROM clause within the SQL string. Code is as follows:
INSERT INTO tblTempSassyInfo (Concat, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SASSYname, RawBoard)
SELECT TableName & AddressName & PartNumber, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SassyName, RawBoard
FROM [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0];
So you can see where I'm trying to reference the product name in the dropdown on the form as the table name. Please let me know if this is possible.
"... I'm trying to reference the product name in the dropdown on the form as the table name. Please let me know if this is possible."
It is not possible with Access SQL.
The db engine can only accept the actual table name --- it isn't equipped to reference a form control to find the table name nor to accept any other type of parameter to obtain the table name.
You could change the query to include your combo's value as the table name and then rewrite the SQL from the combo's after update event.
"SELECT * FROM [" & [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0] & "]"
A similar approach could keep Access happy. But it may not be the best fit for your application.
So, the user essentially wants 2 queries to run. A DELETE * FROM Table query, and an Append query. The user wants to know what table to utilize for the Append query by using the Combobox (may just be my assumption/interpretation). That being said, why not use something along the lines of:
If IsNull(Me.[Combo0].Value) Then
MsgBox "Please select something."
Me.[Combo0].SetFocus
Cancel = True
Else
Select Case Me.Form!Combo0
Case 1
DoCmd.OpenQuery "DeleteMaterialsTableData" 'Query to delete appropriate table data dependent on Combobox selection'
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QueryNameMaterial1" 'Append records to appropriate table dependent on Combo0 selection'
Case 2
DoCmd.OpenQuery "DeleteMaterialsTableData" 'Query to delete appropriate table data dependent on Combobox selection'
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QueryNameMaterial2" 'Append records to appropriate table dependent on Combo0 selection'
This is just trying to use the users' combobox values to determine which table to run the queries against, instead of the user trying to use the Combobox's value as a table name.
You're pressing a button to do this. This implies that some VBA code is running behind the scene (the Click event of the button). In that case, the answer is a resounding Yes.
Dim strSQL as String
Dim strSQL2 as String
strSQL = "DELETE * FROM tblTempSassyInfo;"
DoCmd.RunSQL (strSQL)
strSQL2 = "INSERT INTO tblTempSassyInfo (Concat, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SASSYname, RawBoard)
SELECT TableName & AddressName & PartNumber, TableName, AddressName, PartNumber, [L/R], FeederSize, QtyPerBoard, SassyName, RawBoard
FROM " & [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0].SelectedValue & ";"
DoCmd.RunSQL (strSQL2)
You may need to tweak that a bit, but it should get you pretty close.
You MAY need to use [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0].Columns(0) or Columns(1) instead, I can't remember...
As was stated; Access (and just about any brand database) can definitely do append and delete queries.
The problem is the design. Specifically:
FROM [FORMS]![DASHBOARD]![Combo0];
From clause must be a record set (table) not a call to a control on a form.
My suggestion is to first establish a Select query that has the correct data that you want to append. Save that with a name. You need to be able to do this first.
Once that is done - then create an Append query that uses that saved Select query as its starting record set.
You then just need to trigger the Append query (the Select query will automatically run) using vba behind your button click event:
Docmd.OpenQuery "Append Query Name"
This is 100% possible in MS Access 2010 onward based on my experience. I've not used 2007, but MS says it is possible (see link below). I'm using parametrized queries in a few databases.
PARAMETERS [forms].[dash].[dt_val] DateTime;
SELECT a.F3 AS AdEnt, [forms].[dash].[dt_val] AS Expr1...
The important thing I've found is using a form the user will be interacting with and setting the Date as "DateTime" within the parameter. Here is a video from Microsoft that shows how to and says that it applies to 2007.
Use Parameters in MS Access Queries
Additionally, if you want to do a delete or append, save it as a query then place a button on the form that executes the docmd.runquery for the name of that saved delete/append query.
Before I get to the question, here is an overview of what is going on.
Access
A form that has a ComboBox that selects a JobId
Crystal Reports
A Report that calls info from several tables, all based on the JobID
VB
A Form (Using the Crystal Reports Plug-In) that shows the Report outside of the Crystal Reports Designer app.
My Problem
I need the report displayed in VB to be filtered to the job chosen in the Access ComboBox.
Update
I have my Database linked to VS2012, and that works fine without any issues. I can pull info from a Table easily. What I need to do is link the ComboBox from an Access Form to VS2012 to filter the Report.
I hope that makes my question clearer.
Update 2
I was able to figure out how to create a SELECT Query based on the value of my ComboBox inside of Access, so I should be able to use that to access the Value I am looking for, however I still need to know how to use that value as a filter for CR...
One possible solution would be to create a saved Select Query in Access that replicates the query in CR, and name that query [JobReport_base]. Then, create another saved Select Query in Access and name it [JobReport_current]. Add some code to your Access form that updates the .SQL property of the [JobReport_current] query to return just the records for the selected [JobId], something like
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("JobReport_current")
qdf.SQL = "SELECT * FROM JobReport_base WHERE JobId = " & cbxJobId
Set qdf = Nothing
Then update your Crystal Report to pull the data from the [JobReport_current] query instead of the individual tables.
Multiple solutions. In your case, the simplest ones are the following:
There is this 'sqlQueryString' property of the report that you could update by directly updating the string.
You could also add a parameter (let's call it 'PAR_yourCombobox') to the report. When accessing the report in your VB code, just set the value of your parameter to the value on the screen. as far as I remember, it should look like:
yourReport.parameterFields(i).addCurrentValue yourForm.controls("yourCombobox").value
