© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 4 Extract Records Using Select Queries A select query is the type of query most often used in Access. Select queries extract records from a single table or from multiple tables according to criteria that you specify.
5
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 5 Extract Records Using Select Queries…continued A filter is used in a datasheet or form to temporarily hide records that do not meet specified criteria. The subset of records can be edited, viewed, or printed. A filter is active until it is removed or until the datasheet or form is closed.
6
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 6 Extract Records Using Select Queries…continued To save a filter as a query: 1.Open the table. 2.Filter the table as desired. 3.Click the Advanced Filter Options button in the Sort & Filter group in the Home tab. 4.Click the Filter By Form option at the drop-down list. continues on next slide… Filter By Form option
7

9
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 9 Extract Records Using Select Queries…continued In a parameter query, specific criteria for a field are not stored with the query design. Instead, the field(s) used to select records have a prompt message that displays when the query is run. Enter Parameter Value dialog box
10
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 10 Extract Records Using Select Queries…continued The message in the dialog box is created in the field to which the criterion will be applied. When the query is run, the user types the criterion at the Enter Parameter Value dialog box. Access then selects the records based on that criterion. If more than one field contains a parameter, Access prompts the user one field at a time.
11
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 11 Extract Records Using Select Queries…continued To create a parameter query: 1.Start a new query in Design view. 2.Add the desired table(s). 3.Close the Show Table dialog box. 4.Add the desired fields to the query design grid. 5.Click in the Criteria row of the field to be prompted. 6.Type the message text, encased in square brackets. 7.Repeat Steps 5-6 for each additional criteria field. 8.Save the query. 9.Close the query. Criteria row

© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 12 Modify Join Properties in a Query The term join properties refers to the way in which Access matches the values in the common fields between two tables in a relationship. Access provides for three join types in a relationship: an inner join, a left outer join, and a right outer join.
13
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 13 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued To create a query with an inner join: 1.Create a new query in Design view. 2.Add the tables to the query window. 3.Double-click the join line between the tables. 4.At the Join Properties dialog box, click OK. 5.Add the desired fields to the query design grid. 6.Save and run the query. Join Properties dialog box
14
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 14 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued To create a query with a left outer join: 1.Create a new query in Design view. 2.Add the tables to the query window. 3.Double-click the join line between the tables. 4.At the Join Properties dialog box, click option 2. 5.Click OK. 6.Add the desired fields to the query design grid. 7.Save and run the query. option 2
15
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 15 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued To create a right outer join: 1.Create a new query in Design view. 2.Add the tables to the query window. 3.Double-click the join line between the tables. 4.At the Join Properties dialog box, click option 3. 5.Click OK. 6.Add the desired fields to the query design grid. 7.Save and run the query. option 3
16
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 16 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued To remove a table from a query: 1.Open the query in Design view. 2.Right-click the table. 3.Click the Remove Table option at the shortcut menu. Remove Table option
17
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 17 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued To create a self-join query: 1.Create a new query in Design view. 2.Add two copies of the same table to the query. 3.Right-click the second table name. 4.Click the Properties option. continues on next slide… Properties option
18
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 18 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued 5.Click in the Alias property box and delete the existing table name. 6.Type the alias table name. 7.Close the Property Sheet. continues on next slide… Alias property box
19
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 19 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued 8.Drag the field name from the left table to the field name in the right table that contains the matching values. 9.Add fields to the query design grid as required. 10.Run the query. 11.Save the query. field name
20
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 20 Modify Join Properties in a Query…continued If a query is created from two tables for which no join is established, Access will not know how to relate the records in each table. In the absence of a relationship, Access produces a datasheet representing every combination of records between the two tables. This type of query is called a cross product or Cartesian product query. If you add two tables to a query and no join line appears, create a join by dragging a field from one table to a compatible field in the other table.

© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 22 Create and Use Subqueries When performing multiple calculations based on numeric fields, you may decide to create a separate query for each individual calculation and then use subqueries to generate the final total. A subquery is a query nested inside another query. Using subqueries to break the calculations into individual objects allows you to reuse a calculated field in multiple queries.
23
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 23 Create and Use Subqueries…continued To nest a query within a query: 1.Start a new query in Design view. 2.At the Show Table dialog box, click the Queries tab. 3.Double-click the query to be used as a subquery. 4.Add other queries or tables as required. 5.Close the Show Table dialog box. 6.Add fields as required. 7.Save and run the query. Queries tab
24
© Paradigm Publishing, Inc. 24 Select Records Using a Multiple-Value Field To show a multiple-value field in separate rows in a query: 1.Open the query in Design view. 2.Click in the Field list box of the multiple-value field in the design grid. 3.Move the insertion point to the end of the field name. 4.Type a period. 5.Press Enter to accept the.Value property. 6.Save the query. Field list box
