Query by Form Problems

13 New Member
Hi All, I'm struggling to get a QBF query working. I have 9 fields and a date range in the form. When I put these fields into the Design View and use the criteria (except the date range which uses BETWEEN) :

"Forms![MyForm]![TheField] OR Forms![MyForm]![TheField] IS NULL"

I get "Query is Too Complex" error. I've tried stripping out the date range and applying it as a filter in a macro, but it doesn't understand the BETWEEN argument. How can I apply the date range to the existing query or restructure the query to work?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can't do this
"Forms![MyForm]![TheField] OR Forms![MyForm]![TheField] IS NULL"
You need to do this
"Forms![MyForm]![TheField] Is Null OR Forms![MyForm]![TheField] IS NULL"

However, if you post the full SQL of the query we will have a look at it for you.

Noob alert. Code is below. File is saved as a .php. What I'm trying to do: User uses 'select' box drop down list to pick a value. Value ($site) is derived from a db query. This works fine. Value selected is used as the 'where' clause of the 2nd query. If $site is a single word, the 2nd query works like a charm. If $site is more than one word (has spaces), the query returns a null

Hello, I am having many problems with setting up a parameter query that searches by the criteria entered or returns all records if nothing is entered. I have designed an unbound form with 3 fields on it: Date (DateSpan1 and DateSpan2), Originator, and GroupName. I have added a button that triggers a query and uses those fields as its parameter criteria to populate a form. The user must be allowed to either enter all of the

I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but.... I've searched these groups for some solutions but no luck. I have an unbound form (frmSearch), with several unbound text boxes on it and a command button bound to a macro which fires off a parameter query based on the criteria/string that the user types into the text boxes on frmSearch. My goal is to create a search form where the user can search by any of...

I created a form via the wizard with 1 main table and 2 one-on-one tables. As i couldn't add a field to the form (a field that I added to the table after creating the form), I googled out that the form is based on a Select Query. I managed to alter that query so that the field shows up in the field list. My question is, why exactly does access base this form on a query? What is the difference and the benefit? Thanks, john

Hello all, So I'm knee deep in this import utility program, and am coming up with all sorts of "gotcha's!". 1st off. On a "Find Duplicates Query", does anyone have a good solution for renaming the duplicate records? My thinking was to take the results of the duplicate query, and somehow have it number each line where there is a duplicate (tried a groups query, but "count" won't work), then do an update query to change the duplicate to...

I have a form and a query. I would like to have some control on the form (check box probably), that when selected will limit the criteria for a field in a query. Here are the details.... When the checkbox (or whatever control is appropriate on the form) is checked, the field "employment_category" in my query will have the following criteria - not "temp" and not "diem" - I've tried several things, but I can't seem to figure out how to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
