Timer for Queries?
Does anyone know of a macro or add-on that I could use as a simple timer for queries? I don't like to use the CPU time in the Task Manager because of it's inaccuracy when not receiving full CPU usage. THanks for any suggestions -- cmungs Exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to cause a query to run automatically every so often? If so, you will need to use the timer event on a form to do that. -- Lynn Trapp Microsoft MVP (Access) www.ltcomputerdesigns.com "cmungs" <cmungs@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:88EC7019-045F-4EF...

Erratic results from query criteria
I am getting different results from running the same query with the same selections. One moment it is all behaving as expected, the next it has gone haywire. (I have done what appears to me to be EXACTLY what I have done in another database, where it works perfectly every single time.) In a query I have, amongst others, the following fields: Category SubCategory Company I want to be able to select any OR ALL of the relevant fields. I have the following criteria: Like "*"&[Type Category otherwise leave blank for ALL]&"*" Like "*"&a...

Is there a way to 1) Assign events when adding in data thru an update query for example if you append a bunch of data into a table could you then do some kind of an update query to say if there is an initial event and no others tag this one Renewal 1 etc.. the only real data you have to go on would be Customer A and the total amt .. the event, renewal event and the delta would all need to be added in example: Say Customer A comes in with an initial deal then Customer A renews their deal So, the data would look like when you're done.: Year Custo...

design query match anywhere?
In the design query I want to match the letters "ABC" anywhere in the column 'description'. I could not get instr to work by using: InStr(description, "ABC")) > 0 How else can I match ABC (upper and lowercase) to anywhere in my 'description' column? Thanks! Are you saying you put that InStr bit as a criteria under your Description field in the query designer? Try putting Like "*ABC*" as the criteria instead. Alternatively, you could add a computed field to the query InStr([Description, "ABC") and then put >0 as the ...

Unexpected Error- Running Advance Find Query
I am getting a message that says "Unexpected Error An Error has occurred" when I am running an advanced find query on two custom entities. It seems to be when I have certain custom fields included in my view that the query errors out. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

a count field in a query?
Hello, I have a query in which I would like to create a field which increments by 1 for each record selected, so if there are 10 records selected by the query, this column would show numbers 1 to 10. Ideally I would like to have some text in front of each number, say invoice1, invoice2 etc. From a previous posting I realise that this is frowned upon but it would be the simplest solution for my problem! How can I do this? Thanks Geoff On Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:54:00 +0000, Geoff Cox <<>> wrote: >Hello, > >I have a query in which I would like to create a field which >...

Unresponsive Query Wizard
Hi there, I have an Excel 2003 user who is using a spreadsheet that pulls data from our SQL server. When he opens it and refreshes the data it is fine, it pulls the current data, but when he tries to edit the query, the Query Wizard does not appear, he can see it on the task bar, but when he switches focus using task manager everything is greyed out and nothing works. I have tested the file from my computer and it is fine, which suggests a problem with his machine or installation. Does anyone have any ideas?

group by query trouble
I'm trying to run a query that counts the number of people with hemoglobin of type SS, type SC, and then all others. There are about 12 different kinds of types. Basically I want a count for SS, a count for SC, and then a count that totals all the others into one count. Hopefully that makes sense. I'm using group by for the SS and SC which works great, but I'm not sure how to tell it to add up the others. I'm not a big fan of nested IIf statements, but this should work after you put in the proper field and table names: SELECT IIf([Hemoglobin]="SC","SC&...

Query in Access 2007
I have linked via ODBC tables from another database. I have created a query to pull in two columns of information from the two tables in the query. I would like to add an extra column that is only created when the query is run, to dynamically number each row incrementally, depending on how many rows the query returns. If it returns 10 rows, then the first column should be numbered 1 to 10, if it returns 357 rows, then the rows should automatically incrementally number each from from 1 to 357. Try this but substitute your table and field names. Prim is your primary key. This can o...

MS Query: WHERE vs HAVING
When I use MS Query to bring data from an external source, Query usually translates my criteria into a HAVING statement, which results in my criteria being included in the GROUP BY statement -- which I do not want. I then have to manually change the HAVING to a WHERE, move the criteria up above the GROUP BY and edit the GROUP BY. I don't like to be bothered to do this, and have trouble explaining this technique to others. Is there a way to make MS Query default to WHERE instead of HAVING? Is there a way to influence which method is used for a particulary query? Thank you. ...
