Queries - look up dates, sorting, etc.

4 New Member
I REALLY REALLY appreciate any help that anyone can offer.


I have a table called Data with the following fields:
1) ID
2) ReportDate
3) Department
4) DepartmentNumbe r
5) AccountExecutiv e
6) 7 yes/no fields
7) 6 memo fields

I would like to have a form created where I could look up various values based on different criteria. Should be pretty simple, but I'm VERY rusty at access at the moment, it's been a few years since I've had to really use it like this. Anyway.. I would like to have something like buttons created so that I can click on them and be prompted to enter fields, mainly dates.

I want to be able to look up the following:
Records from Date to Date
Records before a certain Date
Records after a certain Date
Records of a specific Department from Date to Date
Records of a specific Department before a certain Date
Records of a specific Department after a certain Date


I can manage the first of these, like the Date to Date (the only reason why I've included them was to see if there is a better or more efficient way of doing it), but I'm having trouble with using 2 criteria to look up old records, mainly the fact that I have to select a specific department and then look up the date. I'm not sure how to filter? that so that I get specific departments and then am able to type the date in and get records for certain dates for that department that is selected only.

Should I use a dropdown with departments listed so that after I select a department and click a button I will be promped to enter dates for a specific time based on that department? Should this be done in a query, and if so, how do I like that query to the form so that I can select a specific department?

Thanks in advance for any help

I'm a stupid ASP programmer and I dont do Javascript (except for very simple tasks anyway), and I'm in a bit of a predicament. I've used a javascript table sorting script from here: http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace/useful_tableSort.html This works great except it doesn't sort my UK formatted dates properly, and I end up with something like this: Birth Date (dd/mm/yyyy)

Hi there, I have been stumped by a where statement! (Thought it would never happen!) I have a database that stores parts of postcodes for a survey to see where our customers have traveled from, and I want to query it to produce count totals in a report. I have already built the report and it works good querying the data as I want it, producing totals per code. However, i don't want the whole lot all the time. When I use a WHERE in...

Hi First up, I am using MS Access 2002. I have a database which records analyst rating changes for a list of companies on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the database has been set up (by my predecessor, I hasten to add) so that each day it creates a copy of the record for each company, changes the date to today's date, and prompts the user for any changes of ratings on that day. The resulting data table grows by approx 600 records per...

Isn't life a bitch! You know what you want but you don't know how to get it. I have produced 12 queries that calculate a payment profile over 12 months. For a number of the records (ie with the same product id)there are likely to be more than one payment recorded. Nonetheless, when I run the queries individually and the query relates to a table that provides referential integrity through a one to many relationship, the query does what...

Hi, I know virtually nothing about creating Macros in Access. I would appreciate some help in creating a Macro or Macros that automatically run(s) 14 Queries (three Make Table Queries, and 11 Append Queries) when the Database is first opened, and then again anytime I invoke the Macro (somehow) after the database is already open. The latter function is useful, because the queries must be rerun every time data is added, deleted, or...

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,...
