forms based queries

please help i am new to sql and my old access 2000 program used forms based queries.

the user simply input the patients last name and first name and the form would open up every record that had a matching combo to edit and if the combo didnt exist the form was ready for new input.

im under the understanding that sql doesnt support forms based queries and no i would like to know how to open my access form but first prompt users for what last name and first name they are looking for then fill the recordset with just those patients.

i have upsized my access 2000. mdb file to an access project now adp.
so im not using linked tables anymore or this would not be a problem.

this is very urgent for me to fix . i have already fixed all my vb code to make my chart number automatically. now im stuck on getting a prompt for a user to enter info to fill a form.Try using a separe form that is Modal = yes. This forces them to close the form before opening the next form. Then on event Form.Close check to make sure variables (names) are set properly (not empty).

Formatting Question

I have an old DB2 app that has date values in 4 fields (i.e. Date1_MO, Date1_DA, Date1_CN, Date1_YR). I have several MSAccess queries that I convert this to a date by doing the following:

CDate(Date1_MO & "/" & Date1_DA & "/" & Date1_CN & Format(Date1_YR,"00"))

Piece of cake...however I am struggling with this in MSSQL.

Mostly I am fighting formatting the Year. As you can see, If I were to concatinate the above values i would come up with something like 3/9/204 for a date of March 9, 2004. (Each field is a numeric value).

I have gotten this far...

select CAST(Date1_MO as varchar(2))+ '/' + CAST(Date1_DA as varchar(2))
+ '/' + CAST(Date1_CN as varchar(2))+ CAST(Date1_YR as varchar(2)) as Date1
From tPrices

I still need to convert the whole string to a date, but more importantly, I cannot figure out how to get the last element (Year) to format as '04' instead of '4'. I can't concatinate a 0 in front of it for obvious reasons. (Athough I was tempted, just joking)

I looked through a lot of the T-SQL docs but have come up dry.

Anyway HELP!!!!!!Try this for the last 2 digits of the year:

right('0'+CAST(Date1_YR as varchar(2)), 2)|||Came to the same conclusion about the same time you replied...

Just playing with the conversion now.

Thanks for your response...

Formating a numeric string, that is sometimes text

The old string didn't move up when I replied to it, so copied the information
into this new question

OK -- this works to a point. I have real string data in my field that I want
to display, if the field is not "isnumeric". So, here is the code I am using:
=iif(isnumeric(Fields!Q4Amt.Value),
Format(convert.ToDouble(Fields!Q4Amt.Value),
"$###,###,##0.00;($###,###,##0.00);$0.00"), "N/A")
Every time the N/A is supposed to be displayed, I get an error message.
Thanks for any and all help

If you know VB its pretty simple.
report->report properties-> code tab->
Public Function checkstr(ByVal testval As String)
IF Char.IsNumber(testval, 0) THEN
return CDbl(testval)
ELSE
return "N/A"
END IF
End Function
Then apply the formatting in the textbox you want N/A Displayed in and have
your text box state the following
=Code.checkstr(Fields!Q4Amt.Value)

direction.
This is the code I ended up with in the Report Property's Code Tab:
Public Function NumericStringToCurrencyString(ByVal strPhrase as string) as
string
if isnumeric(strPhrase) then
NumericStringToCurrencyString =format(cdec(strPhrase),"$###,###,###.##;($###,###,###.##);$0.00")
else
NumericStringToCurrencyString = strPhrase
end if
end function
Then I called it like you wrote in the field and Viola!!! It worked.
Thank you ever so much.

that is evaluate the expression, and the false case...
i.e.
if a = 5 then is this fine...
=iif(IsNumeric(a), Format(Convert.ToDouble(a), "#"), "N/A")
if a = 'test' I would expect "N/A" to print out...
Of course I HAD to create a report to test it... and sure enough, it broke
the moment I put a text character in instead of a value.
Thanks for the great tip.

You can script the backup job to look at the T-SQL statement.
