Criteria to prompt for field and omit certain records

A

ADB_Seeker

I have a query that prompts the user for the install number. I also need it
to omit any records that have "obsolete" in any of the revision fields.
Following is my SQL code.
If I include the Not Like "*obs*" criteria, the install number is not
included in the report.
If I exclude the Not Like "*obs*" criteria, the install number is included
in the report, however all records with a revision of Obsolete also show up.

SELECT [Engineering Drawing Numbers].MasterProject, [Engineering Drawing
Numbers].[INSTALL NUMBER], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL REV],
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL DESCRIPTION], [Engineering Drawing
Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1
REV], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1 DESCRIPTION],
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB ASSEMBLY 2], [Engineering Drawing
Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 2 REV], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 2
DESCRIPTION], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL NUMBER], [Engineering
Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL REV], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL
DESCRIPTION], [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL CONFIG], [Engineering
Drawing Numbers].CAT_CODE, [Engineering Drawing Numbers].VENDOR_CODE
FROM [Engineering Drawing Numbers]
WHERE ((([Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL NUMBER])=[Enter Install
Number])) OR ((([Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL REV]) Not Like
"*obs*")) OR ((([Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1 REV]) Not Like
"*obs*")) OR ((([Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 2 REV]) Not Like
"*obs*")) OR ((([Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL REV]) Not Like
"*obs*"));

Thank you in advance for your help.

You need AND instead of OR in your where clause.

You want all rows where install number equals the prompt. And you want
every one of the revision columns not like "OBS", right? If any revision is
like OBS, you don't want that row, even if the install number matches.

Hi, Chris
I changed OR to AND. Now when I run the report, I get no information.
Instead, my message box "No Data Found" appears.

It'a a bit hard to read with all the parentheses in the WHERE clause.
I believe that you always want the selected installnumber, and then
omit possible values in other fields. The where clause should be
structured like this:
(I'm using shorthand)
....where f1 = A
and f2 not like 'B'
and f3 not like 'C'
and f4 not like 'D'

I don't see an AND in your where-clause.

Tom,
SQL puts in all the parentheses. I changed the WHERE to the following and it
still brings up no data.

WHERE [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL NUMBER]=[Enter Install Number]
AND [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL REV] Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1 REV] Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 2 REV] Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL REV] Not Like "*obs*";

Create a simple query, just pulling in the install number and all the
revision columns, and enter an install number. Do you get any rows returned?

Is it possible that the Rev fields are might be NULL (Look Totally blank). If
so, try

WHERE [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL NUMBER]=[Enter Install Number]
AND [Engineering Drawing Numbers].[INSTALL REV] & "" Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 1 REV] & "" Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[SUB-ASSEMBLY 2 REV] & "" Not Like "*obs*" AND
[Engineering Drawing Numbers].[DETAIL REV] & "" Not Like "*obs*";
