    Can criteria for a query be built off a table?

    Second thought, this won't work either as different summations will need to be made for different products. The Type may be important for an orange but not for an apple, whereas the color of an apple may be vital but not so for an orange. Likes like I will need to go to VBA after all and...

    Can criteria for a query be built off a table?

    No results. I think I'm resigned to putting multiple fields per criterion in the criteria table (there shouldn't be more than 4), and this will work though not as clean as I'd prefer.

    Can criteria for a query be built off a table?

    Thanks for the response. I don't think I was very clear. The db actual has no users other than myself. I have taken on a new role with several Excel-based reports, one of which should really be written in Access, but because it's harder to find proficient Access users in our company than...

    Can criteria for a query be built off a table?

    If I have multiple products with various categories, and ultimately I want one report which groups and sums and categorizes appropriately for each model, can I build a table to set up the appropriate criteria for each product? I know this can be done via VBA with Recordsets and SQL, but future...

    How to use the text created in one query as criteria for another query field

    I have a report built off one set of raw data, and I'm trying to verify it based on another set of raw data. One of the fields is "OPTS", which contains alphanumeric codes that identify options for each field (i.e. "X1" or "A8"). Some records can have more than one code in the OPTS field...

    Copy an Access query through VBA?

    Oh, I've no doubt I could have set it up more efficiently, probably a LOT more efficiently. This is why I love this place; I always learn something great. I don't think I can briefly explain the reason it's currently set up with individual queries without either providing WAY too much detail...

    Copy an Access query through VBA?

    I'm finding this a hard question to frame for some reason, though it seems a simple question, so I apologize in advance. I have a database with one query for each item that we sell (it is cumbersome but necessary for the imports I am forced to do from Excel); each query is titled the name of...

    Issue with Detail height on a report/subreport

    OK, I've dummied up my little database for you, if you don't mind looking at it. I've only left one report but it shows the issue. Thanks!

    Issue with Detail height on a report/subreport

    I have 12 reports that I need to make subreports within one report, and I need those 12 reports to print on two pages (single double-sided page). As it is now, it takes 2 1/2 solid sheets to print, and that is with the textboxes in the Detail and 2 footer sections (1 footer on some subreports)...

    Printing Charts is a stupid thing to get frustrated over

    And yet, here I sit, frustrated as can be. I have an Excel document with a national worksheet and 10 regional worksheets. Each sheet has a chart associated with it called "Chart 1". I want to print all 11 "Chart 1"s. I can print all 10 regional charts, but the national worksheet prints the...

    Is there a way to speed up chart formatting?

    I have eight regions' sales data displayed in eight line charts on a form. The Visible property is changed to True or False dependent on which region is selected in a combo box, so all charts must be formatted and ready to go when a new chart is selected. Additionally, the user can select or...

    Updating a field to its Average?

    I feel like this should be so easy, but I can't seem to make it work. I have a table called Current. The table includes an On/Off field called Display, and a field called "Name", which is usually the month of data in the row. I have an action to append the table to add a row with the name of...

    Is there a "Properties" book or something?

    Thank you ALL! This will make my life immeasurably easier!

    Is there a "Properties" book or something?

    I realize it would probably be a tome but is there a book that lists all of the possible options for all of the various properties of different objects? For example, I discovered through trial and error that in a chart on a form, the code for the MarkerType property of the SeriesCollection()...
