Default "Effective Date" Criteria for Rates

Jason

I see this is still "open".

While I'm not familiar with a way to use a query result field within the
same query as a criterion (unless you resort to SQL), consider revisiting
the notion of "chaining" several queries together, where each subsequent one
builds on the results of the earlier one(s).

Van,
I have posted a thread with my DB attached like you suggested I do. I

don't
mean to pressure you, I just hope that you haven't forgotten about

me.....you
are my last hope and I am running out of time to complete this darn thing.

I
would really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Jason

This is too complicated for me to analyse without the database but the
sample database I refer to works. I referred another question

("Formula in
a query referring to a table of reference" by Celine Brien in this

newsgroup
about 10 mins after your post) and Celine adapted to Celine's database
successfully.

I you want, put the database (Compact & zip first) on a Web site for
download and advise the location in this thread and I'll try to

download it
and have a look. If you got no Web site to upload, post a question

with
attachment in the Web forum Utter Access.

I have used the topic you referenced to develop the following SQL

script.

SELECT
tblLabourTransaction.ReferenceNumber,

tblLabourTransaction.ActivityDate,
tblLabourTransaction.Hours, tblCraftCodes.EffectiveDate,
tblCraftCodes.Rate,
[Hours]*[Rate] AS Amount
FROM
(tblLabourTransaction
INNER JOIN
[SELECT
tblLabourTransaction.ActivityDate
, Max(tblCraftCodes.EffectiveDate) as MxEffDt
FROM
tblCraftCodes
INNER JOIN
tblLabourTransaction
ON
tblCraftCodes.EffectiveDate = tblLabourTransaction.ActivityDate
GROUP BY
tblLabourTransaction.ActivityDate]. AS CR
ON tblLabourTransaction.ActivityDate = CR.ActivityDate)
INNER JOIN
tblCraftCodes
ON
CR.MxEffDt = tblCraftCodes.EffectiveDate;

Below is the result of running this query. As you can see, there

are
multile records for some of the ReferenceNumbers.

Reference Activity
Number Date Hours EffectiveDate Rate Amount
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $82.00 820
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $83.00 830
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $83.00 830
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $82.00 820
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $221.00 2210
000208 01-Jun-05 10 01-Sep-04 $221.00 2210
000209 08-Jul-05 10 01-Sep-04 $82.00 820
000209 08-Jul-05 10 01-Sep-04 $83.00 830

000210 10-Oct-05 10 01-Sep-04 $221.00 2210
000211 15-Oct-05 10 12-Oct-05 $100.00 1000
000212 16-Oct-05 10 12-Oct-05 $100.00 1000
000213 20-Oct-05 10 20-Oct-05 $200.00 2000
000214 25-Oct-05 10 20-Oct-05 $200.00 2000
000215 30-Oct-05 10 20-Oct-05 $200.00 2000
000216 10-Nov-05 10 20-Oct-05 $200.00 2000
000217 15-Nov-05 10 20-Oct-05 $200.00 2000

Some additional information:
The Reference Number is a unique identifier for that transaction,

each
transaction is assigned a ReferenceNumber, a Craft Code, an Account
Code(straight time, overtime,etc), an Activity Date and other data.

The
Craft Code, Activity Date & Account Code determine the Rate based on

the
Effective Date of the corresponding AccountCode, CraftCode records

in
tblCraftCodes(the rate table). I think that the query is getting

all
rates
that fit with the EffectiveDate regardless of Craft Code or Account

Code.

How do I add the criteria tblCraftCodes.Account Code &
tblCraftCodes.CraftCode to only select a Rate and calculate an

Amount once
for each transaction?

I hope that I gave you enough information. I really appreciate any

advice
you can give me. Let me know if you need further information.
Thanks a lot,
JV

I have been very busy with the contract work (which pays!) so I haven't been
on Utter Access. I am surprised that no one in Utter Access replied to
your question with the test database. "DougY" actually did a fair bit of
work with the thread I referred to previously. Unfortunately, your question
is not something that we can answer quickly. Generally, the SQL needs to be
tested to be sure it works correctly.

If I have a chance tonight - Friday (not a promise as we are implement a new
version of the database), I have a look at your database. Paid work, of
course, comes first.

Jeff,
I took your advice and I think that I finally have it figured out.

Thanks

I have it figured out, I used a combination of 3 queries.
