Parameter query with IIF

6 New Member
I have a query I am trying to create based on another query
(inventory) and a table. The inventory query shows the date, shift,
Die set and the # of shifts remaining for each die set in inventory.
The table has a corresponding date and shift field as well as two more
fields that tell me what die set was left in the line at the end of
the previous shift and what die set is staged to go in next (again
left from the previous shift). When the inventory query is run it
tells me what die set has the lowest inventory to the highest.
However, the die set with the lowest inventory may not be the one
already in line or the one staged to go in line next. I need to be
able to sort the new query so that the die set in line and the die set
staged to go next are 1st and second in the query followed by the
remaining die sets in ascending order. I'm thinking that I should set
criteria based on an IIF statement, but I'm not sure where to begin.
Can anyone provide some advice?

I am running Access 2003 on Windows XP.

I can't quite follow your structure but I need to know how you determine in the table the order that the dies are set. You need to work this out logically before ever looking at it programatically .

It would help if you gave the SQL of the query you are using as well as the meta data of the table.

Here is an example of how to post table MetaData :
Table Name=tblBooking s
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Field; Type; IndexInfo
  2. StudentID; Autonumber; PK
  3. Family; String; FK
  4. Name; String
  5. University; String; FK
  6. Mark; Numeric
  7. LastAttendance; Date/Time

Simpler way to ask question from my previous post. I wrote a query and it has a paramter field in it. I want to enter a date with the current year. If it I put in 6/30/2003, it works great. If I put in some kind of a variable based input for the parameter like '6/30/' & year(now()), it doesn't work. Is there any way to concatenate text and a variable at the input of a parameter query. THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. PLEASE HELP. :)

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible (Using access) to have a query parameter as a drop down box rather than a text box? e.g. typing as criteria for a query produces a box with a text box for you to enter the parameter. Can any body enlighten me on how to turn this text box into a drop down box? And whether it is possible?

Hi I am getting the common problem of the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box, which pops up every time I execute a query. I built the query using the Expression Builder in Access. If any of my expressions reference another column in the same query, it causes the dialog box to appear for each parameter before displaying the query output, even though no parameter values are required. For example, here are four expressions in my query: ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
