A kind request to all you access gurus out there:
I’ve been trying to construct a query that will display the list of objects used in a particular cycle. For example, the search results will return a list of objects only used in cycle 1 when a “1” is entered into the textbox. Ok, that bit was straight forward and working however I’m stuck at this next step.
There are some objects used in a cycle in a particular position (we call a “Z” position) so these object records will have a cycle used value of “1Z”, or “5Z” or “11Z” etc, depending on which cycle it was used in.
The idea I have in my head at the moment is to return results for the value entered into the text box (the number- eg cycle “3”) and also return results for that same number PLUS the value of a tick box. The tick box will be ticked on object records that are used in a z position. As an example; for an object used in cycle 5, with the Z Position tick box ticked, the query search results would return all objects used in cycle 5 AND all objects used in cycle 5 in a Z position. Is this a sensible approach to the problem? If so, what code do I need to actually implement this?
Currently, if a “1” is entered into the search box, objects used in cycle 1, 10, 11, 1Z and 11Z will be returned in the results. This is undesirable as I only want 1 and 1Z values to be returned! I’ve removed the * from the criteria only to find that when a “1” is entered into the search box, only cycle 1 values are returned and not 1Z values – undesirable yet again. Doh!
I’m new to access so please don’t go too technical on me!!
Many Thanks
Chris.
