Selecting dates in query
Hi,
Each day data is added to a table, which I have extracted in a crosstab query in the format below -
I then link this data below to another query, but how can I automatically include all the days in this new query without adding them manually each day
first_name surname emp_no From 0500312 19/03/2012
David Franklin WO055 2030 316 59.75
Below is the sql from the new query - how can this be modified to include all dates from 050312, currently it only shows up to the 19th but the 20th is already in the crosstab table.
SELECT tblCrosstab050312.first_na
FROM tblCrosstab050312;

Do you not use the query design grid?
The query type is selectable once you have your basic select query defined.

Hi,
My issue all along has been how I can get specific data from a tbl and have it arranged in a specifc order, if it wasn't for the fact a new date is added to the original table each day then I could do it via the design view comfortably.
I have enclosed the tbl in question, I wish to extract in a query in the following order -
First Name, Surname, Emp_No, Alloc_Hrs, Hrs_Jan_Mar,Total Hrs, Remaining, then all the dates in descending order
As mentioned each day a new date is added to the table and I do not want to manually add this to the query (just selecting * will not give me the sort order)
Help much appreciated

OK so the nub of the issue is field order.
I that case I can see that you have a problem. I can't see any simple change to get what you want.
I think you will have to build the select query in code.
It seems to me that you would have to get a list of distinct date field values from the table, and from that build a list of field names which can be used to build a complete sql query to select from the crosstab query.

I used this answer and with some more work carried out by myself a solution has now been achieved.

This syntax below was previously a make table query, now using the Select * gets me all the dates but how can I also make it a make table query (tblCrosstab050312)
SELECT *
FROM qryEngineeringHrs050312_Cr
Thanks
