    Is there a way to find the records with the 4 most recent dates?

    I need to find instances of students that have three or four tests by their three or four most recent test dates. Is there a way to query with that criterion? Thanks.

    Input from memo field on form appears as characters in table

    I have a memo field on the form. I type into this field sometimes, always in English. When I look at the table now, a few of the fields appear as I typed them, but many of them have what looks like a Chinese character followed by a symbol: ex. 됏 . The Chinese characters do not all look the...

    Populate form for data entry

    Thank you so much for your help. The outer join was the key to my getting it. I had to play around with the underlying query to get it updateable but was finally able to do so. Much appreciated!

    Populate form for data entry

    But how do I get a list of students in the class to show in the subform? The table bound to the subform is empty until data is entered into it.

    Populate form for data entry

    I looked at this and tried to determine how you had structured things, but I am not advanced enough with Access to figure out how to get where I need to be from there. Is there something you could refer me to to read to learn how to do that, or could you give me more instruction? Thank you.

    Populate form for data entry

    I have a form with two combo boxes that populates a subform based on the values in those combo boxes to show some data. I need to do the same thing with another set of data, except I need the combo boxes to populate the subform, but then allow me to enter data for each record, and then write...

    Report not recognizing label

    I have a series of three reports with similar data. One of the fields is Gender, and it has three possibilities: m, f, or unspecified. My problem is that one of the reports' underlying queries does not return any records with the value "unspecified", since none of that particular recordset have...

    Combo box issue

    I have a field on a form that I needed to make a combo box instead of a text box because of data entry irregularities. I followed this procedure to make the combo box, since the Combo Box Wizard doesn't seem to be working...

    Query bracketing issue

    I have a qryMostRecentTest where I was using LAST to get the latest date. Due to LAST returning unexpected results, I changed it to MAX, and now it works correctly by returning the most recent date. There is another qryStudentTotalHoursSinceLastTest that uses this MaxOfTestDate. When I try to...

    Val function not giving expected results

    Thank you so much for your reply; this was driving me nuts and I never would have figured this out on my own. I designed the db, but this data was entered by the user. Could you give me more detail about "use the Asc function"? (I tried doing the Asc function on the SS field in a new query, but...

    Val function not giving expected results

    I have a query (qryTestingValComp) where, occasionally, a test score [SS] will have a plus sign, i.e. 208+ . I need to get the difference between two test scores, so need the score converted to a number. I have used the Val function: SSNum: Val(Nz([SS]))However, there are currently two cases in...

    DLookup working on subform, but not on main form

    I actually looked at the reference above before I posted here, but when I change =DLookup("[EducationalFuncLevel]","tblNRS","[NRSLevelID] =" & [Forms]![sbfTests]![NRSLevelID]) to =DLookup("[EducationalFuncLevel]","tblNRS","[NRSLevelID] =" & [Me]![NRSLevelID]) I not only get the "#Name?"...

    DLookup working on subform, but not on main form

    I have a sbfTests with testing information. One of the text boxes has NRSLevelID, and I need to look up the corresponding text value EducationFuncLevel in the tblNRS (because this subform is also used for data entry, I cannot pull the text values into the query qryTestingUpdateable underlying...

    Bulk data entry & resetting form

    Not sure what you mean by drilldown by selecting ClassDate; the date can be any date; would not likely be a date already in the table? For the second method, what would I use as the record source for the form I would be opening?

    Bulk data entry & resetting form

    I need to have a form that shows a list of students sorted by class and allows me to enter hours and a date for each student, i.e. the list of the students would be in datasheet-like view, with empty fields next to each student for DateReported and Hours. Then I would click a command button and...

Many times I've typed out a question to post, and just seeing...
