Issue

In the statistical framework for a supermarket, we want to know the origin of our customers to improve our marketing activities. We know how to create queries to extract the clients from a city or region in particular. Problem: the number of requests is important. Is there a way to group them under a single query, but that could be customized at runtime?

Answer

That is what we call a parameterized query. It expects parameter at launch. To do this, query design mode, in the area of the city field test for example, type in expression: [What City?]. The brackets are required. Access seems to recognize a field that does not exist in reality. In fact, implementation of the application, a dialog appears asking this question: Which city? The user then enters the city in question, New York and all the related items are extracted.
