A Big Hand?
Feb 12, 2008
Hi
I'm looking to build a product generator - so user will select from a series of combo box's (Bed, (could be 5000, 5100 etc) Plug,(could be A,B,C,D) Castor could be ZZ, AA, EE,etc) and a code will be generated. (i.e 5100CEE)
I can achieve this - but I've been thrown one of those balls that are curved. The end user also wants a picture of each part of the code to be outputed on the final order form - and here's where I'm struggling - as if I pull from my dumb form (with dumb combo box's) - I've nothing to link to - and if I link to a table, I get zillions of records.
Any advise, general direction, gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Paul

I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of characters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow. I just want the report to show me the right-hand side of this path and cut off the left. How do I do this when still aligning my text to the left?

Reet, I have a problem i have been pondering over for the last hour or so and im not sure the best way to do this! Its slightly tricky to explain so bare with me!
So I've made a Software Licensing Database which tracks licenses etc.. Its based information provided by another company which handles all my companies data handling etc..
Ok so in this database it tracks all installs and compares them against licenses. But this 3rd party company doesnt make life easy and sporadically buy licenses thus there's are always licensing issues here and there.. hence wantign the db to keep track. However rather than having a simple 10 licenses, 10 intalls for abit of software, they have created an entity called a Delta which is hand-me-down licenses. i.e.
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8:
100 Licenses | 50 Installs | 50 License Delta
Adobe Acrobat Pro 7:
25 Licenses | 93 Installs | -18 License Delta
So as you can see the Delta is Licenses available for lower versions & editions of software. So where I get these reports on a figures basis my boss wants me to physically give each install a license. Thus thats me breaking down a number of License into a singular form and assigning it to a specific person. Which is all done thats easy enough my problem is Incorporating the delta for that piece of software. So above as you can see for Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 I can happily assign those 25 Licenses to 25 of the 93 people but I dont know how to reference the 50 Delta Licenses on Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to the remaining 68 people.
Of course the example I have provided makes it seem not to difficult but you have to remember I have about 60 different versions of Adobe Acrobat, they have multiple editions (Pro, Standard, Corporate, blah blah...) Baisically I cannot see anyway of writing abit of VBA giving each bit of software a Hierachial order in which to refer to.
The best possible way of doing this I can see is creating an alternative table which I will have to manually go through the 23K bits of software and define which bits of software are higher up the foodchain & eligible for a 'Delta License'
Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers

I have a database of equipment that is hired out. When the equipment is hired out the date is recorded and when it is returned the date is also recorded. That same piece of equipment may then be hired out again. What I want to be able to know is what equipment I still have in stock at the base. I have tried many different attempts of trying to get this to work but I don't seem to be having much success. Could someone please tell me how I can do this.

Hello,
I am currently designing a stores management database similar to the Northwind database but alot less complicated. We dont need all stock price,sales price and order information. The objective of my database is to calculate stock on hand and have a alert if current stock levels are below a reorder level.
I have taken a begginers course on access and so far so good. Got my relationships sported and everything is working nicely apart from the stock on hand calculation.
What I have is a products form and inventory movement subform. I have a one to many relationship between the two and when you scroll through the products, the inventory movement is updated too. Great.
But now for the stock on hand calculation. I have inserted a formula into the header of the subform and it works fine, but when I do the same calculation on the form I either get a result that doesnt scroll over with each product or I get a #Error.
I'm stuck and have been working on this for a few weeks, if someone could help that would be great.
Thank you,
Kerry.
PS: see attached for description of relationships

Hi all,
I need a hand from your side with the following.
The attached Excel workbook needs to be transformed into an Access 2003 database.
It is a list of clients’cases represented by lawfirms and the amount of money that is involved.
The case comes in under the ‘Aufstellung’ worksheet and can progress to a Claim or 2 different other Requests.
Purpose of the database :
1.Fast entry of new cases
2.Easy look up of existing cases
3.Conform updating of existing cases (warning when a certain case number already exists)
4.Easy report running
5.Keep the entire history of updates, changes, deletions and processing to a Claim
Tables :
1.Aufstellung
2.Claim Request
3.MB Request
4.MFA Request
-Question 1 : In the tables you will see that several different appointment dates and hours for one case are listed in 1 cell. In order to keep the history of updates do I need to create a separate Appointments table ? How would I structure this then ? The unique identifier is the Case Number. But 5 columns (Columns E, F, G, H and K) are ellegible to be treated this way. Do I need to create 5 separate Appointments tables ? And how do link them ?
-Question 2 : In order to split all the packed Appointments information in one cell I need to transfer the column to Word, replace the manual break by e.g. *, re-import the table in Excel and do text to columns ? So that each Case Number gets a number of columns accordingly to the number lines in the original cell ?
Queries :
1.List all Failed cases per form
2.List all Open cases per form
3.List all Filed cases per form
4.List all New Date set by Authorities per form
5.List all No results per form
6.List all ABC per form
Forms :
1.Aufstellung
2.Claim Request
3.MB Request
4.MFA Request
-Question 1 : How do I set up a check box in the Aufstellung form which, by checking off, will transfer the current record to the Claim Request form ?
-Question 2 : How can I make a field to be a lookup field ? e.g. When typing a name, it will give a drop down list of existing names of the table and the possibility to type a new name which will be stored in the table ?
-Question 3 : How do I make a pop-up warning message in the Austellung form when a certain case number exists already in the database ? And how do I block the case number field for duplicate entries ?
Reports :
1.Aufstellung complete table
2.Claim request complete table
3.MB request complete table
4.MFA request complete table
5.List all Failed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
6.List all Open cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
7.List all Filed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
8.List all New Date set by Authorities per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
9.List all No results per Form (empties) and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
10.List all ABC per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
-Question 1 : How do I include a count of the records into the report ?
-Question 2 : How do I include a sum of the Main demand in Euro into the report ?
Switchboard :
1.Make a new entry or update an existing one
a.Aufstellung
b.Claim request
c.MB Request
d.MFA request
2.Search
a.Case Number
b.Applicant’s Name
c.Date
d.Court record Number
3.Reports
a.Failed case
b.Open cases
c.Filed cases
d.New date set by Authorities cases
e.ABC cases
4.History
a.Export history table to Excel through e-mail
b.Who updated the record and when ?
-Question 1 : Do I need to create a switchboard at the very beginning of my database ?
-Question 2 : A switchboard can only contain 8 buttons, how do I create a sub switchboard ?
-Question 3 : How do I set up the user access tracking – who updated what when ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi Guys,
You know how you get the form header/detail/footer sections on a form. Well, how can you make text appear down the side (ie so that it overlaps all of the header/detail/footer sections).
Take a look at my drawing, it will explain it better...

I have One table(and designed form from it) in which i have recording the daily transactions(it is like a daily book). Daily transactions took place like Purchase of items of Amount 45, sale=70, sold on account=100 etc.
What problem i am facing is: I would like to Add Cash In Hand amount and would like to show it on my form. When day end I would like to move remaining cash In Hand on separate column of that date. The next day i would like to take the previous Remaining Cash in Hand as Cash In Hand at Start for next date and so on.

I have been working on an Access Db for awhile and am very close to being ready to hand it over to the person who requested it. There will be one user and the db will reside on a desktop PC.
Here's my dillemma? How do I insure that the user will not have access to the tables? I'd hate for her to get curious and go in and "muck around" with the data. I have the db split and have logic to disable the "shiftkey bypass" on open. I plan to, also, convert the front-end mdb to a front-end mde. However, what do I do with the back-end (tables)? Is there a way to protect them?
I would like to keep the db split (front-end/back-end) so if modifications are required in the future (to the screens/reports/processing), I can just send her a new front-end (I have the 'relink' logic in place on initial launching of application).
Any ideas for protecting the tables?
Thank you.
Regards,
SueB
