To supplement this flat list I'm preparing a number of key stats which will be reported to administrators (e.g. unique user/session count by period, app usage by period etc).
I'm now looking to report the (10?) most active users where most active means those users having the most unique sessions. The desired results are as follows:
User Sessions
joe 23
paul 10

Within Access its relatively easy to create/combine a number of queries to acheive this but I need to do this via an ASP script. The challenge is to design a single SQL statement (with nested SQL?) which will return a recordset as above.
Im trying to show multi level organization with a query and im not sure how to do it. I have a table that is named Originators, that includes all of the persons personal info and this table gererates a OriginatorID. Next I have a table called OrgTree that has the fields as follows:
OriginatorID---Auto lookup to Originators---OriginatorID LastName--Text FirstName--Text StartDate--Date/Time UpLineOrigID--Autolookup to Originators-OriginatorID UpLineLast---Text UpLineFirst--- Text
This works so far, but I would like to see all the people brought in by originator (a) and all the people brougth in by those people and so on. I guess this would be a tree, but im not sure if thats my problem.... Can this be worked out with a query or do I need to do something else. God I hope it can be done with a query.
I have several Databases with similar tables with similar information, but entered differently. (Different persons made separate databases before my time) I would like to make new tables, write a query to combine the information into these tables, but I need to get the data similar before I can combine.
Example of information:
7L 24 3A719 AD one table might have it stored this way 7l243a719 AD another this way 7L24-3A719-AD or 7L24 3A719 AD both ways in this table and so on. There are alot of combinations
I have been in attempting Mid$, Right$, Left$, Like, Not Like and others to no avail.
Looking to make all the information the same layout 7L243A719AD, then I will be able to combine information.
Hi everyone, here is one of the tougher problems ive had to deal with.
i have a number of fields, called teammember2, teammember3 etc..to teammember12. This is done because on the form, the user is able to select team members in addition to their original selection using a button.
Another field on the form is a "total days worked".
The problem now is adding the total days worked for each record based on the team member
for example:
if record 1 has : john smith and jane smith as team members and record 2 has: john smith and tom smith as team members
i need the report (query) show the total days worked for john smith as record 1+ record 2. and for jane smith just record 1. tom smith would show total days for record 2.
im sorry for the weird explanation! i will be happy to clarify anything.
Create a temporary table to hold the results. Use VBA to open the data table and temporary table in two recordsets. Loop through the records in the data table and place the data in the temporary table in the required positions.
Hello all. Hope someone can help. I want to know which of my customers received a particular service (service id: #199) during the last month. It gets complicated (I think) because of those customers that received service 199 last month, I want to know which ones did not receive any other services in the 90 days prior to receiving it. Any thoughts on how this can be done? I can find who received the service during the last month, but how do you check to make sure they have not received any others during the last 90 days? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, S.J.
Hope any Access guru can help me with this problem.
I want to create a cross training matrix with crosstab query in Access to show the relationship between the trainers and trainees with purpose of the trainings from the following table.
I tried to use crosstab Q and picked Trainee as Row Heading, Trainer as Column Heading and Purpose as Value - with the Total option as First, but it would only show the first purpose even if trainer with the same trianee has more than 1 cross training involvement. The example is for Matthew & Edward. In this case, it only show CEI but not SAS. My challenge here is how to concatenate training purposes with the same trainer and trainee.
I have a database with two tables structured as in attachement. In a nutshell I have a list of values with two criteria associated in one table and a second table with a 3-rd criteria.
What I need is to have a query with a list of values (corresponding to Criteria 1=yes) if Criteria 3 is on "Yes", and with another list of values (corresponding to Crirteria 2=yes) if Criteria 3 is on "No".
I have searched this forum but it's almost impossible to get what I am looking for...
I've designed a database that gets modified and upgraded daily. The problem I have is that the Form I use to enter data should be available in 3 languages. All I want to know is: Is there some or other way I can have 1 Form and still have 3 different languages? EVERYTHING should be changeable into the other language... any ideas?
At the moment I have 1 set of Tables, 1 set of Queries and 3 sets of Forms (for the 3 languages). I'd like to change it to 1 set of Forms, but still have all 3 languages.

I have a table of some 8000 items with a verbose (memo field) description in English. I need to add French and Spanish Item descriptions to some of the items ( but not all of them) and call up the correct description when processing orders and/or invoices. I want the system to automatically supply the english text if the French/Spanish does not exist.
I could go for the easy option of adding a language field to the table, and then simply replicating all 8000 items for french and Spanish and then replace the English text. This would work but probably affect performance.
What I really want is to add foreign descriptions to the table ( as a new item record) as and when they are required, and look for, say, a French Item Description, and if one is there. then use it, else find the fallback English descriptions. Trouble is, I have had no success trying to craft the tables/queries to do this.
I've played with group-by queries to deliver a language code, but run into difficulties with grouping memo fields. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated - I've searched the forum for "multi lingual" and "multi language" with no success, but my apologies if I'm asking an old question.

Hi, I have a database which contains fields with information in many different languages. I seem to lose my japanese content from time to time. I cut and paste the information from a Word document and paste it into an Access field. It seem to work and I get the japanese text pasted. But I have lost it and now I just have all text replaced by small squares. How can I retrieve my japanese text?? What should I be looking for if I want to maintain a database in MS Access using Japanese, Chinese and other foreign language text in it? Bjorn
Here's a tricky little problem I am trying to figure out. I'm sure someone out there should be able to help me without breaking anything. Heres the problem.... I have a form that has an underlying table attached. I have a combo box pull in a pull down list of locations from that table. What I would like to happen is, I would like it so the user will select a location from that combo box, and then click a command button. When they click that button, I need whatever they chose in the comobo box to copy over to a NEW table, which will be referenced later by my program. Say the table being pulled from is called "table1", and the table I need the info to go to is "newtable". I guess it doesn't SOUND hard, but I can't seem to figure anything out on it. I'll let you experts tear it apart and tell me how dumb I am for not knowing. Be kind... I'm still a noob. :D
I have been thinking about this since two day and tried everything, but no luck.
I have a form with recordsource a query. A listbox contains all references and if you choose a reference, everything else on the same form gets updated. Now i want to avoid that two users edit the same record at the same time. So i thought i would make an extra field in my table with a checkbox "yes/no" wich says if the record is in use or not. Now whenever a user edits a complaint i want that when another user is trying to edit the same record a message pops up saying that the record is in use. I can get it to work, but only have the problem that when a user decides to change reference number in the listbox and call upon another record, the value needs to get to fals again on the record he was editing.
Maybe there is another way to now if a user is working on a record.
Anyone that can help with an easy solution on this?
I am building an app which will be used to administer a small company which has several mobile service engineers.
Everything is fine. A fairly standard sort of job until the client asked for a screen showing each engineer for a given day with a bar graph showing planned start and finish times for each allocated job, together with the location! As an added challenge, I need the user to be able to click on the "Chart" and so open another screen showing full details of the job clicked on.
My first approach was to use a chart. Couldn't do it:confused:
The approach I have now used is to create a series of labels on the form "On the fly" to represent each job and the unallocated time in between jobs. I can also run a macro to display the full job details when the label is clicked upon.
HOWEVER, this is a very cumbersome way of doing things to my mind. In addition, sizing of the controls in each day's bar is far more difficult than I expected.
Anyone got any ideas as to how I might achive this task in a more polished way?
This is probably not too bad to most... Considering I'm still pretty new to this...
I'm designing a database to track training for about 6 offices where I work. I am having trouble trying to set up a questionaire that adds a worker's training requirements automatically when a new worker is added to the system.
TABLES
tblPersonnel PersonnelID (Primary Key)
tblRequirements RequirementID (Primary Key) RequirementTypeID - Denotes the type of requirement based off of the question on the questionaire.
tblPer_Req (Join Table) PersonnelID (Joined to tblPersonnel) RequirementID (Joined to tblRequirements)
QUERY
In my query I have pulled the PersonnelID from tblPersonnel, the RequirementID from tblRequirements and the RequirementTypeID from tblRequirements.
FORM (part 1) - New Member Form
Enter the new member's information...
FORM (part 2) - Requirement Questionaire (Must bring over PersonnelID from FORM (part 1)...
I have asked the following question... (total of 10 questions, but we'll just go with one for now...)
"Does the member wear prescription eyeware?" (Yes/No - using an Option Group) (RequirementTypeID = 2)
If the member answers yes, I want the database to automatically add the member's PersonnelID and all Requirements from tblRequirements that have a RequirementTypeID of 2 to tblPer_Req (Join Table).
So far, I have gotten the query to only work by itself as a SELECT query and was not able to add the information to tblPer_Req, let alone try to tie it together with the Option Group...
If anyone could please help me get this together I would greatly appreciate it... I've been trying to work this one through for almost two weeks, the boss has tried to help too but he's also stumpped!!!

I currently receive MS excel files with forty columns and 7000 rows of data. I Perform a sense check and then convert the file to csv for loading into another system.
I've had a request to start performing this task for files of up to 13 million rows. Obviouslt MS excel will not be capable of doing this.
Can anyone tell me what MS product I should use? Access, foxpro? or do I need a non MS product and if so which one?
I am currently having the following difficulty. Let say i have 3 fields in a table.
Field 1: = ID Field 2: = operation Number Field 3: = Status What should i do if i want the following result from a query.
Field 1:= Grouped by ID Field 2:= Count of operation Number Field 3:= "status1", "Status2", "status 3"(basically concatenating the strings in each group. .:confused:
Please note that i am using Access 2003. eg of how table wold look Gr ID CountOf Operation Status 1299B 10 R 1299B 20 C 1299B 30 B 1299B 40 D 1299B 50 A 1299B 60 Z 1275A 10 P 1275A 20 Z
eg of an out put for my query should look like Gr ID CountOf Operation Status 1299B 6 R,C,B,D,A,Z 1275A 2 P,Z Please note that it is important that the order is maintained.... ie in the case of 1275A the order should be PZ and not ZP..
The current challenge I have in MS Access in really giving me a headache. I can’t seem to find an answer or indeed think “outside the box” so I am hoping there is someone who can help.
Below I will outline the design of my database, the problem I have and my proposed solution. My solution is “What I want to do” rather than “How I do it”. If you have the time and patience to look at my problem and suggest how I proceed, I will be really grateful.
CURRENT DATABASE DESIGN
I created a database that imports daily telephone data. The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
I extract data from the phone system for “Lines” (3 digit code) e.g. ‘301’,’302’ which each have a corresponding line “Description” e.g. ‘New Customers’, ‘Accounts Queries’. There are three main daily extracts (1) Inbound Calls (2) Outbound Calls and (3) Time. Each extract has either “Line” or “Description” as the unique identifier but not both.
There are 50 lines with matching descriptions and each is allocated to one of 20 teams. I have a query which links all three extracts, groups the data by team and date. Therefore this query creates 20 records (teams) for each day (date).
CURRENT QUERY AND TABLES
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team
Tbl Inbound Calls Line Date Offered Calls Answered Calls Abandoned Calls
Tbl Outbound Calls Description Date Outgoing Calls
Tbl Time Description Date Answer Time Abandon Time Talk Time Wrap Up Time
Qry Grouped By Team Daily
Line – linked to line in Tbl Incoming Calls Description – linked to description in both Tbl Outgoing Calls and Tbl Time
Team – Grouped field Date – Grouped filed Offered Calls - Sum Answered Calls - Sum Abandoned Calls - Sum Outgoing Calls - Sum Answer Time - Sum Abandon Time - Sum Talk Time - Sum Wrap Up Time - Sum
PROBLEM
Customer Services “Team” is made up of six lines (301-306) and Business Partners “Team” is made up of three lines (307-309). For each day my query creates a record for each of these teams based on how the line is allocated in Tbl Line Lookup.
The business had decided that line 304 calls are part of the Business Partners with effect from 01/05/06. If I change the team name associated with 304 in Tbl Line Lookup this will, incorrectly, allocate all information (from 01/01/06 to present) to Business Partners.
I need a mechanism to allocate 304 to Customer Services prior to 30/04/06 and to Business Partners after 01/05/06.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I want to introduce a new field in Tbl Line Lookup called Effective Date.
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team Effective Date
Then I want to introduce a new query which links the data in the three data tables and allocates the correct team name by comparing the date in these extracts with the effective date in the Tbl Line Lookup.
I would then run my original query (Qry Grouped By Team Daily) over this query instead of the original tables.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to look up values in another table to determine the value of a field in the way I have described?
The scenario - I use MS Access to access an advantage database system from a program we use. I can either import or link to each table in the program's database via OBDC drivers.
The problem - I need to track the status changes of our customers. Tracking customer status changes are not recorded in the advantage db. The TRDATA table contains the information. From now on, I want my access db to track the changes and save it in access for report purposes. The status's available are A, B, I, K, L, O, P, W, X and Y.
The solution - So far, I have queried the TRDATA table to pull the Account #, Buyer, and status. I made a crosstab query which would kind of aggregate the data into a readable form. If the account is active, there would now be a 1 in the column A. I then made another query which would then update a table. From here, I'm unsure of what to do. Obviously, there needs to be a comparison of some sort. If only account 1234 changes from an A to a Y, then I want a new table to show all the other accounts where they stand and a change of Y for the status with the date it changed. I hope I'm explaining myself well enough!! I’m very unsure of where to go from here.
