setup a data base in Access that collects information from the attached spreadsheet pictures from A1:FO26...Spreadsheet is macro enabled and updates automatically with data.have tried to setup Access data base but when Excel Tab updates it copies over the data that was last copied into Access.
View RepliesI have just begun learning MS Access and have some information already in an excel spreadsheet that is getting too big and I am trying to decide if converting the whole thing would be beneficial or jsut a waste of time.
The issue is the current excel file is a workbook of about 150 separate worksheets that are all hyperlinked to each other. It does everything I want, but I feel like it is getting to big and cumbersome and really all I want is to add one sheet/record and have all the totals/averages/"reports" update themselves. That is why I think Access might be better. Currently it takes a good minute to update the file when saving. The Excel file is about 13mb.
The data is basically all times from a mens & womens cross country team. I have one form I take to each meet and record mile splits, places, final time, etc. Then I return and currently put those times into excel. I have 4 years of data for each runner. I also have 10 years of team data that needs to be able to be recalled usefully. My spreadsheet also looks through all past meets and keeps a list of the top 50 times for both men and women. And compiles every practice/workouts for the past 8 years, etc. Plus a lot of other sheets/forms/reports/.
I started a database and have one table for Athletes, one for MeetEntry. I also created a report for the meet entry to send to media. I then started working with relationships between different tables and became overwhelmed with how to best set up the entire database. I came up with a list of things and organized them into what I thought would be best suited for Tables vs. Forms vs. Queries vs. Reports. With the limited info, any ideas on setup would be appreciated. Maybe I just leave it in Excel and forget Access.
I think with the complexity, this is much better suited to my needs but it may be just a bit over my head. I do not know an VB so that is also an issue.

I would like to know if there is a way to update information in my Access database via e-mail.
I tried to do this, but when I collect from the e-mail, it creates a new entry in the database.
I'm trying import some information from excel file into Access Database but I need have imported information formatted in specific way.
Import file is looking like:
City - Week / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
London / 3 / 1 / 4 / 5/ 5/ 9/ 1/ 3/ 4
Chicago / 2 / 1 / 4/ 8/ 3/ 3/ 2/ 1 / 5
Paris / 9 / 4/ 1/ 7/ 8/ 9 / 1 / 1 / 2
And i need table in Access looking more like
City / Week / Value
London / 1 / 3
London / 2 / 1
London / 3/ 4
London / 4 / 5
and so on for each city.Is there any option that this can be done within DB or It would need be some kind of macro to transfer this into other format?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database for an event with 2 main tables.
Parents and Children of the parents with a one to many relationship.
I need to be able add the table number that each parent and child will be at (not the same table as parent). I could add another field for the table to each database but not all the entries are attending the event.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to the best way to design this.

I have recently created a database meant for managing inventory. I have started writing queries and building forms, and a lot of it is running smoothly, but I am having a few snags.
To give a brief background, I am currently designing a form in which a user will fill out when an incoming part comes into our company. The form NEEDS to ask the user for at least the PartNumber and the PONumber, but the way I have my relationships set up, I am not exactly sure how to design the forms (not the physical layout, but where the data goes). So when I have an incoming part, will I use the PartPOID to figure out which part number and PO number it is? I am not exactly sure how to make a form for the user that is not confusing.
Attached is a picture of my relationships and my database.

I have a database whereby users already have to sign in with a username and password, using a form which them allows them to view a front page. The front page allows them to access data and add/amend it.
I now have to adjust this setup as we have directors who want to view the system, but we don't want them to amend it.
Is there anyway to change the current setup that I already have or do I have to scrap it and start again?
I'm developing my own personal finance database and the part stumping me on the design is how to setup the categories per transaction. For example a primary category would be "home" and the secondary category would be "furnishings". How do I set this up? I'm getting stuck on how to tie it into the transaction table.
I'm familiar with writing SQL queries, but this is really my first stab at database design.
The relationship diagram is attached. The transaction table and the category tables are to the right of the diagram.
I currently have two e-mail accounts on my computer. One is my default e-mail address with my name on it. The other e-mail account is a generic account with the department name.
I have a database set up to generate and send e-mails to our technicians notifying them when an order they placed gets put on back order. This database could possibly send twenty or thirty e-mails out each time it is run. My manager has requested that the database send the e-mails from the generic e-mail account instead of the default account. That way, when the field replies to the e-mail, they won't bombard my account.
Is there a way to tell the database which e-mail account to send an e-mail from?
I am currently using the below module to send the e-mails:
Option Explicit
Dim appOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim namespaceOutlook As Outlook.NameSpace
Sub Outlook_SendMail(sEmailAddr As String, sEmailSubj As String, sEmailBody As String, Optional sAttach1 As String, Optional sAttach2 As String)
[Code] ....
I've just been given the task of "fixing" a too-big Access database. It's actually about 250 tables in 29 .mdb files scattered over a filesystem. But I'm very green at Access (although I'm pretty OK at SQL in general). So here's my question: how the heck would you all explore/learn about this Access setup? Is there an automated way to cruise through all the .mdb files, get lists of all the tables, and even lists of field names? What about getting a list of the type & relationship of each field?I know I can get some of this by opening a file, right-clicking on a table, and selecting "Design View." But doing this 250 times sounds painful, and the properties window cannot be printed, anyway.Any tips about this?-Tony
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am opening a new mail message in outlook using a button in a form.I want to change the "from" email address to a specific inbox (NOT personal email). Even though the email address is switched, after I hit sent and check my sent items - the email is actually sent from my personal email address and not from the inbox email address i wanted it to be sent from. I have access/permission to sent emails from the other inbox.
Is there a way to make sure emails are sent from specific email addresses and not ONLY personal inbox.What I read online is probably because of some "network" connection issues. Is there a way refresh connection between access and outlook? I am not even sure what the problem is.

I can't find any info on this error through google, so i'm not sure what step to take next. Any advice would be great, I'm willing to try out other databases (obviously retyping the data would be a pain in the arm but if it works its worth it)
Cheers:p
I am brand new to Access. I know a fair amount about excel. However I think Access may provide a better platform for what I am looking to do. With that being said i have some questions.
I am looking to create a database. However this database will very seldomly have new information added. Information may be updated here or there. Most of what i have researched uses access to create a database that will constantly have new info added.
What i am looking to do is to create a database that will have drop downs that merely link to other "databases" to view.
Example: I have have a database in excel that has one main interface. when you click on a cell it takes you to a new worksheet with multiple entries that fall under that group. and repeats itself. each cell on this page will is linked to another worksheet.
Lets say these groups are named; 1,2,3,4. Any time you click on on of these, it takes you to a new worksheet that has info for each group. Once on the new worksheet, it will give you the drop downs for these values and if one is selected it will take you to the new worksheet (show the new info) once again.
I have two third-party library programs that allow you to type in an ISBN and the software searches, say Amazon, and grabs particular missing data: author, cover jpg and summary etc, and imports the info to the program. I'd like to replicate this process with Access. If I can type in an author, title or ISBN to Access, I'd like it to search Amazon to gather and input the missing data to my assigned fields. Is this possible? Or am I stuck to typing in the information separately.

Thank you
I have several data entry forms in my DB. What I would like to do is capture the windows user name of the people adding records and changing records. How do I go about doing that? I was think of an on change event to a given field that would then pull the username and insert it in another field/object.
Lets say the an on change of me.cmbModel update txtUserName.
If you are using a form as a sort of user interface and you've got a user entering in information into the form, is there any way possible to print a preview of the currently entered form information without saving it to the database first?
I'm thinking a kind of validation thing. Like, "Click here and preview what you've entered. Sure this is what you want?" type of thing.
i have been trying to create an employee database to record:
1. Name , Address
2. Telephone
3. Date of birth
4. employee ID#
5. Emergency contact -name, address, telephone
6. Photograph
7. Other pertinent information related to employees
So far I have incorporated the contacts database forms into my new database but I am unable to link the forms into one form that will incorporate all the information needed. Is there an existing employee database that I may edit to suit my purposes?
I am attempting to create a patient tracking database for a clinic I work in and I am stuck at one small but major part.
I have a parent form called frm_Patient_index. On this form you can enter patient details such as personal details, observations ect. I need to create a lab request form for certain tests to be performed.
I want so that a button on the frm_patient_index form opens a subform where the relevent tests can be requested via tick boxes. Now here is my problem I have managed to create all of that except for the information to be entered into the frm_lab_request automatically and get SAVED to its corresponding table. It will not save for me.
I can get the information such as Badge Number, First Name, Surname and DOB to all enter into the fields automatically but getting them to save to the table is not happening.

Right guys, new to access but have experience with MySQL.
Basically, i have one table with a few fields, ID, Customername, Rating, Customer_email, Comments, Removalcompany.
I created a query to get all of the ratings from that table, and average them.
What i want to do now is put that average into a table and to have it only showing in one record. I have achieved this, but i would like to have it so that the number for the average rating is live.
This is to be used as a backend for a website.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I have a question.
Does anybody know about "MS Access Record-Locking Information"?
And, the file extension is .xxx
Only one person can open the file.
Does anybody explain to me and teach me how to make/solve it?
Or, offer the link about it to me?
I want to know that.
Thanks a lot.
I currently have a database which logs issues that come in to me from the business. The database has been designed to keep all stakeholders informed of there request and for the user to write to the stakeholder with a responce through Access. (The reason for this is so the database keeps track of all responses sent back to the stakeholder.)
However even though i am using a memo box the database will only send about 255 characters and no more. I understand this is the max value for a text box however this should not be the case for a memo box. :eek: :confused:
Is there anything i can do i am currently using the following code:
cmdEmailAssignedTo : On Click
="ID " & [ID] & ": " & [Title] & " Status: " & [status]
My database is almost complete just having this one problem... is it a function within access that can not be resolved?
I will send the database over if needs be...
Thank you in advance,
Jay :eek:

Hi.
Lets say i have a (Yes/No) combo box and a text box.
I have it so if my combo box says Yes the text box must become enabled so i can type in it.
The problem comes in when I goto a new record, the combo box is still enabled.
I have tried putting the text box to disabled in form_load, but then when I go back to view other records the text box is disabled and the combo box is already set to Yes.
How do i overcome both these problems at the same time ??
