Creating Fixed Column Headings
If you don't use fixed column headings, all the columns are included in the query output in alphabetical order. For example, if you include month names in the query result, they appear as Apr, Aug, Dec, Feb, and so on. By using fixed column headings, you tell Access the order in which each column appears in the query result. You can specify column headings by setting the query's Column Headings property.NOTE
All fixed column headings must match the underlying data exactly; otherwise, information will be omitted inadvertently from the query result. For example, if the column heading for the month of June was accidentally entered as June and the data output by the format statement included data for the month of Jun, all June data would be omitted from the query output.Important Notes About Crosstab Queries
Regardless of how crosstab queries are created, you should be aware of some special caveats when working with them: 1. You can select only one value and one column heading for a crosstab query, but you can select multiple row headings. 2. The results of a crosstab query can't be updated. 3. You can't define criteria on the Value field. If you do, you get the error message You can't specify criteria on the same field for which you enter a Value in the Crosstab row. If you must specify criteria for the Value field, you must first build another query that includes your selection criteria and base the crosstab query on the first query. 4. All parameters used in a crosstab query must be explicitly declared in the Query Parameters dialog box.TIP
Pivot tables, introduced with Access 2002, have all the functionality of crosstab queries and then some! Consider replacing crosstab queries with Select queries stored in PivotTable view.This material orginally appeared in Alison Balter's book Mastering Microsoft Office Access 2007 Development.
