you tried to execute a query which does not include the specified expression as part

[Rik_StHelens]

I have a report based on a simple select query (Access 2007).

When I run the query, everything is fine and I get the results I expect.

However, when I run the report I get the error "you tried to execute a query which does not include the specified expression [tblinspection].[inspectiondate] as part of the aggregate function"

At query level the user is asked to give a registration number and/or fleet name

The report groups results by vehicle registration, with a page header at the top.

I use no other grouping in the report, and I can't see what else is wrong with the report.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

No ideas anyone?

Many Thanks

Is this: [tblinspection].[inspectiondate] in the query? Or is it anywhere in the report?

How do you enter the reg no when the Report's opening?

Thanks for your replies. To answer your question:

a) [inspectiondate] is in the query. The query contains every field in the table. It would be easier to give customers a datasheet view. But, it is the layout of the data that is important - it has to be laid out in a vehicle schematic style, with individual tyre data on each wheel position.

b) When the report is run, it is passed parameters from the query, which are typed into pop up boxes.

I know that it would be better to pass in parameters from a combo box (by fleet then/or reg), but it is a big database, with a lot of different queries and reports in it. And we have a lot of other projects on at the minute, such as a new system we are integrating and its one more thing I could do without. Its just a quick report for 1 specific haulage rental customer


Hope this helps

usually when i get that msg it's because I'm trying to summarise something that can't be due to the field type. since you're query works, have you got some summary field on the report? (are you trying to summarise a date?)

No there are no summaries in there (unless i'm missing something).

I have attached a sample db with the query in it because hopefully it will show what I cant describe so well.

 

[Rik_StHelens]

Ok i've just reviewed my sample DB and the query works.

But it still does not work in the other database!

The only difference is that I have made the sample a .mdb file instead of .accdb

would this really make a difference?

 

[boblarson]

I just converted it to ACCDB and it works fine for me in that format as well.
