Hi & thanks for reading/helping!
I have a simple table with email addresses and domain names. In an equally simple form I can list in a listbox the email addresses that go with each domain name using:
SELECT Emails.EmailAddr FROM Emails WHERE Emails.[DomainName]=Form![DomainName];
and it works perfectly. However despite trying every permutation going I CANNOT make the same thing work in a report :-( even if I try saving the form as a report. Can anybody help me understand why this doesn't work ...
SELECT Emails.EmailAddr FROM Emails WHERE Emails.[DomainName]=Report![DomainName];
If I omit the "Report!" then I get a list of all email addresses but with every other reference I get nothing at all or an error.
My forehead is bruised from banging it on the table!

The syntax for referring to report controls is the following:
Reports!ReportName!ControlName
You should be able to use that in your SQL clause.

I'm sorry if my question sounds confusing.I just started learning web2py recently,in this exercise I'm trying to make a simple users management webpage with the admin can assign the users theirs work lists,note and deadline
db.define_table('auth_manager',Field('name','string',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
db.define_table('manager',Field('user','string','reference user.name'),
Field('workname','text',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('deadline','date'),)
db.manager.deadline.requires=IS_DATE_IN_RANGE(format=T('%Y-%m-%d'),
minimum=now,maximum=now+datetime.timedelta(60))
I thought of adding the manager's username in auth_manager table using appadmin's new record function.This is my user table
db.define_table('user',Field('name','string',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('password','password'),
Field('workname','text'),
Field('deadline','date'),
format='%(name)s')
I wanted to insert workname and deadline into user table right after I add those form on manager but I couldn't find any other methods except the update or update_or_insert functions but both don't work because those fields can't be empty and their ids aren't the same value and multiple references to a single table don't work .
One last question,I want to use web2py's RBAC but the first & last name fields are often unnecessary if I want to use a full name field is there other way to do it?
Sorry for the long post,I hope I made my question clear.
You can use the tables from auth and let web2py to handle everything in between.
The following code should resolve your problem:
db.define_table('manager', 'reference auth_user'),
Field('workname', 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('deadline', 'date'))
I am trying to update the textbox for the current request that I have opened. After making changes to the bound textbox (regardless of the record number current being edited) it modifies the tblVendorRequests.VendorDiscussionNotes for the newest request created within the table.
My form is a Single Form
My record source for my form is a table (tblVendorRequests)
My textbox (txtVenConLog) is using tblVendorRequests.VendorDiscussionNotes as its control source
For instance, say I am trying to add notes "Hello World" to request number 242. Request 242's notes remain the same, but the "Hello World is added to the newest record instead (overwriting the existing text that was in the request).
I have done a good amount of searching on the topic, and have not found a satisfactory answer on why this would be.
Any ideas would highly appreciated!
I redesigned my form to split the functions into 2 separate forms and that seems to have resolved the issue. I believe the issue was that when I 'opened' a record, it was not behaving like it would if the record-opening function resulted in calling a form to open with specific criteria.
I'm trying to put a report together using Crystal Reports. I have to display a list of "class numbers" and the description of those classes. If there are prerequisites for those classes, I need to list those (the class number) as well as a description/title.
Currently I am able to display everything but the prerequisite descriptions. I believe I have to preform a self join since I'm only using one table. What I've done so far is use the command option when entering the tables I want to use for the report. In that command I have
SELECT Main.prerequisite, Sub.course_no, Sub.description
FROM course Main
JOIN course Sub ON Main.prerequisite = Sub.course_no
where main.prerequisite is not null
The table is called "course" while the columns are "course_no", "description", "prerequisite".
Anytime I add "description" to the report, it only gives me the course_no's corresponding description, not the prerequisite description.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I'm not doing at all, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I figured a work around and thought I should post it here. Hopefully to avoid wasting anyone's time as well as providing my solution to anyone that may have a similar issue.
I simply created a view in SQL
Create view preReqs AS
SELECT Main.course_no AS [course_no]
,Main.description AS [description]
,Main.prerequisite AS [prerequisite]
,Sub.description AS [preReqDescription]
FROM course As Main
LEFT OUTER JOIN course As Sub ON Main.prerequisite = Sub.course_no
After I created that, I just imported the view instead of the table itself into the Crystal Report. I was then able to group by whatever I wished.
Hopefully this will help anyone else that may run into this issue. Thank you for everyone that provided their time/input as well. I appreciate it.
Hey there I am trying to learn SQL by trying to complete online questions and I'm trying to create a view.
I have created a SELECT query that works and now trying to turn it into a view, though when following the online instructions and enter the script that should create a view I come up with the duplicate field error.
I've looked into it and it may be "doctor.fullname" as a duplicate field but this is from another table. Andway I have deleted and still tried it but the error still appears.
I know there is probably an easy solution and sorry to bother you with this but it will be must appreciated.
CREATE VIEW patient_registration_form
AS
SELECT
patient.patient_id,
patient.nok_no,
patient.f_name,
patient.s_name,
patient.sex,
patient.dob,
patient.marital_status,
patient.date_registered,
nok.tel_no,
nok.full_name,
nok.address,
nok.relationship,
doctor.doctor_id,
doctor.clinic_no,
doctor.full_name,
doctor.address
FROM doctor, patient, nok
WHERE doctor.doctor_id = patient.doctor_id
AND nok.nok_no = patient.nok_no;
You're returning several columns with the same name... full_name and address... even though they're from different tables. In this case, you have to give them different aliases:
SELECT
patient.patient_id,
patient.nok_no,
patient.f_name,
patient.s_name,
patient.sex,
patient.dob,
patient.marital_status,
patient.date_registered,
nok.tel_no,
nok.full_name as nok_full_name,
nok.address as nok_address,
nok.relationship,
doctor.doctor_id,
doctor.clinic_no,
doctor.full_name as doctor_full_name,
doctor.address as doctor_address
You have two full_name listed... one for nok.full_name and one for doctor.full_name. One needs to be renamed such as nok.full_name as nok_full_name.
The 1,500 page Access 97 Bible (don't laugh!) that I've been given by my boss to solve his problem doesn't solve my problem of how to solve his problem, because it has nee VBA code.
Let me first make clear that I've made attempts to solve this without (much) coding, and that I've coded quite a bit in VBA already, so I'm basically familiar with most things including recordsets, queries, etc etc but have problems with MS Access limits on how to form a report with data coming from VBA variables. I'm also versatile in most programming languages, but this is not a language problem but rather a "how to/what's possible" problem.
My problem right now is that dragging the query fields into the Detail subform and putting them into cells in columns setting Left and Top with VBA code are moving them alright, but each cell is on a new page. Unfortunately, there is multiple data in each cell that won't conform to the Create Report Guide options available.
So my question is simply this: Can someone point me to working examples of code that create, place, and fill with VBA variable strings, text fields at any coordinate I please on a paper size of my choice?
Edit: The above is not an option, as I understand this will prohibit the client from getting an .mde database. What remains, then, is to merely ask for some sound advice on how to get several rows GROUPed BY weekday and machine (see below) into a recordset or similar for each cell. I guess the best way is to count the number of columns in the table (machines in the sql result) and create 5 rows of these with dummy data, then go through the result rows and place the data in the relevant controls. But if you have ideas for doing this work better and faster, write them as answers.
Sorry for this, I knew there was something I wasn't understanding. Basically, I thought Access supported creating reports dynamically via VBA, ie. "generating pages with data" rather than "preparing a flow of controls connected to datasources". But Access requires that you create an ample amount of dummy, unlinked controls manually, then either fill or hide them and that's how they become "dynamic".
This is for Access 2003 on a remote server accessing local and remote ODBC SQL database tables, if relevant. The goal is to make a week schedule of n columns (n=number of machines at a certain plant) x 5 rows (weekday Mon-Fri), and put 1 or more recordset rows (=scheduled activities for that day on that machine) in each of the "n by 5 table" cells.
If you detect venting frustration in this post I can only ask your forgiveness and hope for your understanding.
So, has many techniques for this:
Ex: 1) using dinamic sql for this:
'Create a function to make sql query
Function MakeMySQlReport(Parameters):
Dim strSql as string
Dim strMyVar as string
strsql = vbnullstring
strsql = "Select " & myVar1 & " as MyFieldVar1, * from myTable where Fieldx =" & Parameters
MyReport.recordSource = ssql
End Function
Ex: 2) create function that returns yours strings:
Function MyString1() as string
MyString1 = 'ABC'
end Function
An in your report, select the textbox will receive the value and type =MyString1()]
I hope this help to you, need more examples?
Solution:
Create many objects manually (grr!)
name them systematically
put them in a Control Array (get all Me.Controls, sift out the ones you're interested in, and put them in an indexed array)
go through the array and change their properties
