About Ready To Give Up On Access
May 12, 2005
I work at a Phamaceutical company in the US (based in London) and have a database that tracks atypical events. It has normally about 10 concurrent users and continually (once a week sometimes more sometimes less) corrupts. I have spent a lot of time validating the database writing the user requirements, functioanal and design specs as well as a 150 page IOPQ.
It is a split database with both front and back ends on a file server. I know this is not the best way to do it but the database is frequently updated with requests for new reports etc and I am not sure how to push down the front ends to all the use pcs. The database is about 40 mb.
I like the database. It is fully audit trailed and does what I need it to do, but the corruption thing is driving me batty. I have the jetutils with the viewer to see who is in the db (by pc name) and then I cross reference that to the person in the db and call them to get out. It is a real pain in the arse and I am just about ready to agree with the IT guys that Access is not a multi user database.
Should I scrap Access and go to SQL Server?

I have database that i am working on , i want to give a user a time limited accsess ( one week ) to the reports section for example !!
after a certain date he will require a password or the report button will be inactive ...
-at program start up , it will check for today's date if it is greater or equal to (lets say ) 24-9-2013 then it will change a field in an X table from "yes" to "no" ,
-after that the code will check table X for the yes no field , if yes then open Form A if no then open form B / or make report button inactive
how to do that in VB ... and is there is a better way to do it ? can it be done in the macro builder ?

Hello! intermediate databaser here and its good to be here.
I own a bridal shop and i'm creating a website to sell my dresses. I know the first step is to have a database ready, since I have so many dresses. I have my tables done with one table holding customer attributes, including name, address, and other personal information, one holding dress attributes such as color, quantity, style, price etc., and other look up tables that has to do with the styles, colors, and quantity (up to 5). Here is where the problem comes in at:
I want to keep up with the orders placed such as the date ordered, what dress they ordered, who ordered it, price paid, shipping and handling (flat rate), etc. but I do not know how to link this up to run off the website. I would like to know what are the key fields I would need in order to place orders appropriately.
Do I need special type of tables since this will be going online?
Would this be the easiest way to go about doing such a thing?
If you could point me in the right way, or to a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.
Forever Yours

I couldn't find a similar question already answered and I am stuck at home due to the blizzard here in Denver Colorado so I can't get any other resources to help. I am working on a select query where I am using two table's and another select query to pull information.
query HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3:
- AS_OF_DATE
- SAP
- ACCNTNUM
- SumOfSumOfAS_OF_BOOK_VALUE_4TH
table HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE:
- BEGIN DATE
- END DATE
- SAP
- ACCNTNUM
- SUM VALUE
table SAP DETAIL TABLE:
- Fiscal Year
- Company Code
- Account Number
- SumofAmt CoCd currency
- Cabinet
Currently the join properties include: from SAP DETAIL TABLE the Company Code and Account Number to the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM, from HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM to the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE SAP and ACCNTNUM.
There are three things that I am trying to accomplish with this query. The first is pulling down the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine. The second is pulling down the SumOfAmt CoCd currency and SumOfSumOfAS_OF_BOOK_VALUE_4TH which matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine.
What I'm trying to do for the third is to only pull the SUM VALUE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE that matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields and also where the AS_OF_DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 is between the BEGIN DATE and END DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE.
This query will then be the output for a report.
In order to accomplish the third task I have tried to complete a SELECT statement and a IIF statement that have not worked. I am sure the select statement would work but I just can't figure it out. Any help would be very very much appreciated.

Hi Guys, Ive been struggling to create a query, I wonder if anyone knew how to do this.
I have data setup basically like this: -
Code Customer
A CustA
A CustB
B CustC
C CustD
D CustH
D CustI
E CustE
F CustF
G CustG
Is there a way i can make a count work to show like this: -
Code ID Customer
A 1 CustA
A 2 CustB
B 1 CustC
C 1 CustD
D 1 CustH
D 2 CustI
E 1 CustE
F 1 CustF
G 1 CustG
So if there is more than one customer, the ID will accumulate until the code changes so it will revert back to one again.
Hope someone knows how to do this.
Thanks

Hi all
I am currently building a holiday planner for my employers and I would like to try and display the days of the year as rows and the staff as columns (Fields). When someone adds a new member of staff, I would like it to also add them to the calendar table as a new column and name the column the same as the individuals name. Is this possible using VBA or SQL string?
If anyone has a better idea as to how I can display the forthcoming holidays for a team I would really appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Gareth

I've got a table in which there are 20 numeric columns. For one report, I want to add all of the data in those columns together. I used the expression:
Seats: Sum(DailyActivity!PkgSeq01Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq 02Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq03Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgS eq04Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq05Cnt+DailyActivity!Pk gSeq06Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq07Cnt+DailyActivity! PkgSeq08Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq09Cnt+DailyActivit y!PkgSeq10Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq11Cnt+DailyActiv ity!PkgSeq12Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq13Cnt+DailyAct ivity!PkgSeq14Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq15Cnt+DailyA ctivity!PkgSeq16Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq17Cnt+Dail yActivity!PkgSeq18Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq19Cnt+Da ilyActivity!PkgSeq20Cnt)
Where dailyactivity is the name of the table, and pkgseq01cnt is the name of the first column, etc.
The expression returns the number 961.
If i make a query where i sum all of the columns individually, and then a query based off of that query where i add all of the sumed columns together, i get the number 965. (which, as far as i can tell, is the right number)
the expression in the second of those querries is:
Seats: Sum([seat]![SumOfPkgSeq01Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq02Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq03Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq04Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq05Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq06Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq07Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq08Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq09Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq10Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq11Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq12Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq13Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq14Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq15Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq16Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq17Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq18Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq19Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq20Cnt])
where 'seat' is the name of the first query that sums the columns.
I think those two ways should both come up with the same number - but i can't figure out why the first way is missing four! there are thousands of rows so it is hard to go through the table itself. Also, in both of those ways, the querry includes a 'where' column which limits it to rows where another column equals a certain word - but that's relatively straight forward - dont' know why that would make it different.
any ideas?
Thanks! It's driving me crazy!

Hi!
I'm trying to write a query that will display my data for anything that has a date between 10/01 and 10/15. I went into the "Build" area and looked at the "functions" available but none of them sound right - and the one book I have on Access is not so great.
Can someone help me with the correct formula?
Thanks!

Can someone give me some high level 'pointers' ?
Simply (although not for me) I am trying to build a form that involves a unique identifying number being entered, a button being pressed and relevant field belonging to that unique identifying number being displayed in a subform.
For example, I might want to enter a customer number, press a button and all the orders made by that customer appear in a subform.
Any help gratefully received !
Thanks.

What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below.
ProductDescription
Is blue
Is large
Is heavy
Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help,

I have a table that is a list of available UPC codes that through forms are being assigned to several different tables (types of items). When the UPC code is assigned, there is a yes/no box which is checked. I need to have a message box appear when the last of these UPC codes has been used (or better yet perhaps when there are a specific number left - such as 10 - so the user isn't all of a sudden locked out of any more work).
It could even be triggered when a specific UPC code is reached - they will be in numerical order (ignoring the check digit). Is there anyway to do this globally or would the check need to be on each form as the UPC is assigned?

Hi people,
May I know how to add 2 fields.
i.e
My table has 3 columns
Field1 Field2 Field3
The value of field3 = field2 + field1 (the formate of field1, field2 n field3 are currency)
how do I indicate that the value of field3 is depended on the value of field2 n field1
is it under the default value of field3(in the TABLE design view)that i indicate field2 + field1?
thank u

I have changed my approach for my database, and i think a query is what i needed all along. But i am not sure how to go about it.
Is it possible to have query results on a form?
more precise, i have a table full products, alot of information per product (about 30-50 fields)
The amount of actual products isn't many probably around 10, and it's likely to stay at around 10 products.
Can i have a drop down list listing all the products, so it looks these up from the product table, you select the product, that product field value becomes the criterea for the query, and all the associated form fields get filled out to do with the product selected.
To summarise, can i have this all done in a form? so it's easy for staff to simple go the to product drop down list, select a product, all the info relating to the product is then displayed on the form.
hopefully i have made sense with my post.

I have two tables, categories and items. I have a form that is linked to the categories table and a subform that is linked to the items table. The user selects a category on the main form then an item to add to the category on the subform. (all of this is functioning correctly - but you need to understand for my question.)
Both the form and the subform have a text box that displays a record from their respective table, for the example we will call this color.
What I need to do is create code that checks the color text box from the category (main form) against the text box for the item (subform) and if they are not a match I need to display a message box - from where I can then add the necessary actions.
EDIT: note this is not a query on an entire table or 2 it is just comparing the two text boxes on the form and subform
