MS Access 2007 Date Query Question

Smidkiff — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:17:10 +0000

My question is 2 parts:

1) I need to build a query that will look for dates in a date field that are >= 4 1/2 years from a date specified by the user. For example, if the user enters Sep 2011 the query would return all records in the database that are 4 1/2 years older than the specified date (i.e. Mar 2007). There is another date field if the record meets the query criteria but the 2nd date field is populated then the record will not be returned.

2) How do I format the input request from the user to ensure Access understands what to compare with the Inv_Date field?

The query results would be in a new colum title Investigation Due.

Get the latest unique entries for user ID in Access database

Steveo225 — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:46:51 +0000

I have a database with a table that lists message entries. Each entry has an autonumber field ID, and a UID field that groups messages.

My question is, how can I get the latest entry for each UID?

Example Table:
ID UID Message
1 1    Some Text
2 2     More Text
3 1    Message response to ID=1
4 1 Another response to ID=1
5 2    Response to ID=2

Desired Result:
ID UID Message
5 2 Response to ID=2
4 1 Another response to ID=1

Thanks!

Trying to learn – How to filter dates…

Beginner09 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:27:23 +0000

I have a DB that lists a date in each column, so that when I run a simple query I can pull up only the dates that I need. I have tried (filtering by exculding dates not needed) but now my DB is too big to spend the time going through each date, to only get current dates needed. I need to know a way to run a simple query to pull up curtain dates in one query. Not sure hot to do it, I am new to access and have learning as I go, so any help will do. Thank you.

Vertical text in MS Access 2003 report

Carey — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:09:37 +0000

I’m trying to create report headings that are perpendicular to the data fields. I have lots of fields with numbers and the headings fit on the page if they print at a 90 angle — on a slant would be nice too. When I make a label (or text box) and change the properties to ‘Vertical = yes’ the words disappear. TIA
