Hi,
I am trying to create a query from a table which has an ID, Diary and
Date fields.
A particular ID may have several diary entries which all have their
specific date.
What I'm after is a query that will show me only the previous 3 diary
entries sorted by date.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

It goes something like this (change field names to match your table
field names):
SELECT tblDiary.ID, tblDiary.Diary, tblDiary.Date
FROM tblDiary
WHERE tblDiary.Date In (SELECT TOP 3 tblDiary.Date
FROM tblDiary
GROUP BY tblDiary.Date);

Thanks for that.
I've tried it out, but this brings up only 3 results. What I'm after
is 3 diary entries for each Issue Ref?
I've tried playing about with it, but to be honest my SQL skills are
pretty poor.
Can you help?
Cheers

Probably you have done something wrong. Using these data:
Diary, Date
a, 01/01/2008
b, 01/01/2008
c, 02/01/2008
d, 03/01/2008
e, 03/01/2008
f, 04/01/2008
g, 04/01/2008
h, 04/01/2008
i, 04/01/2008
above query returns:
Diary, Date
a, 01/01/2008
b, 01/01/2008
c, 02/01/2008
d, 03/01/2008
e, 03/01/2008
Five records in total, but only for top 3 dates.

Can anybody help me with some Access 2000 code?
I don't do a lot of coding in Access & so every time I come back to do
something I pretty much have to relearn the syntax from scratch so this is
taking me hours. As with most occasional programmers its the commas, colons,
inverted commas, square brackets etc etc that cause the problem! (Not to
mention the nuances of using Do While, Do until, Case statements If
statements, IIF etc etc...)...

For example, one college course has only 24 students in it, but the

it prints it then says 0 As, 40 Bs, 32 Cs, 8 Ds, and 16 Fs. The actual

anything wrong with the code. Here it is:

Now, I also have a table called all_matches. This table contains every match

Hi.
I'm new to this database world. Just started Access training a few months ago and have a somewhat complicated database already built. In a nutshell, I have a select query that uses a parameter callout so the user can enter a serial number of a widget and get test information for a report. The query pops out the test data in, for simplicity, in two columns, rest result Type A and Type B. The challenge for me is getting the results broken...
