Title: MS Access Questions
Post by: ziggysego on February 24, 2010, 10:36:24 PM
We have Excel questions, we may as well have Access questions.

I am creating a simple database for someone. They want to be able to print queries, but pick the variables themselves.

For example. How many people from Tyrone in a database are working in the manufacturing sector?

In the database, there will be many people from across the north, working in different sectors. How do I create a report that I can select the above?

Feck, I've no idea.

Ask me another about SAP Crystal, Business Objects or Oracle Discoverer?

Query design view for a select Query, in the criteria section for your example use square brackets with question or prompt in each field you want to pass a variable to e.g.

[ What county ]

[ What sector ]
