I want to be able to type a nickname for a contact and it populate the full name in a query for a report. Is there a way to effectively get this done? I have tried combo box and I am not sure how to use the drop down list function.
View RepliesI am using Access 2010 and have set up a contact database using the contact template. On each Contact I have put a picture of the person but if I attach an attachment to the contact sheet it then changes the picture to paper clip for the attachment and I wonder if there was a way of stopping this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a full outer join in Access2010 between two tables with many to many relationship.
So I have tblServer and tblApplication and there is also the ServerID-ApplicationID table that connects these tables.
I found online many examples but all of them where for two tables with one-to-many relationship.
I currently have a database set up with three basic forms:
Form 1 = Main menu with options to go to Form 2 and Form 3
Form 2 = Employee information form which includes email address
Form 3 = Employee document upload form
My goal is once the Employee is registered in Form 2 they can then upload a document in Form 3. When they upload this document and fill out other parameters Including their bosses name (which is captured as a record in Form 2) they click "Submit Form." I would like for this submit form button to populate an email that is updated to send to the selected "Bosses name"
Currently on the Submit form button I have:
Private Sub Submit_Record_Click()
DoCmd.SendObject _
, _
, _
, _
"email .com", _ <-- this is what I want to autopopulate with the correct persons email (as well as their name below)
, _
, _
"***A new Lab Report has been submitted for your review***", _
"Bosses name," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please log into the Report Database and review the latest pending report. If you have any questions please contact the sender." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "This is an automated response generated from Microsoft Access." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf & "ESBU Lab Report Database", _

I have a table with more than a million records. I want to add a new column with date equals to e.g.3/14/2012 for all the records. I am using update query, but it is super slow (taking more than a hour)..is there any other way to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a monthly system data report I wish to manipulate in Access.
I have created a table to match the 3 fields in the data report; the date, widget ID and number of widgets made.
Widgets are made every day (including weekends and bank holidays) but there will only be a data entry on days where the number of widgets made changes from the previous day ie if Widget ID 33 was made 5 times on 05 Oct, 06 Oct, 07 Oct but on 8 Oct there were 7 made, the data would look like…
Date.................Widget ID..................Number Made
05 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
08 Oct ..................33.............................. .7
I would like to write a query that shows the data for every day, duplicating the data for the previous day in the instance the same number is made. The output should look like..
Date.................Widget ID..................Number Made
05 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
06 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
07 Oct ..................33.............................. .5
08 Oct ..................33.............................. .7
The data is monthly. There are so many different widgets on the report that it’s pretty much guaranteed there will be at least one entry on the first date and the last date in order for a query to find the full date range – as opposed to a user having to manually enter the date range.
Using the example above where the first entry is on 05 Oct it should not be assumed that 01-04 Oct was zero, the query should then look for last entry in the previous month’s data stored in the database (I realise the first time I do this some form of manual adjustment would have to be made as no previous data would exist).
I want to create a text box within a form that automatically populates a contact number based on a selection from a combo box, also in the same form.
For example, I have a Bidders Table (tblTenders), this form includes information regarding the Tendor like the company name and a main contact within that company and a phone number for that contact.
I've created a separate table for all the contacts called tblContacts. This table holds all the contact information for each contact. I have a simple form called frmTenders that asks the user to input the Customer (which is the company who are bidding) and the Main Contact, which is a combo box to select the main contact from tblContacts. Below that combo box is a text box called 'Contact Number' - I want this box to display the contact number for the main contact automatically when a main contact is selected from the combo box.
The contact number text box isn't storing that information in any tables etc. It's just for viewing purposes when we need to make a call to that specific tender.
I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.
What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"
I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
I am working in Access 2010, trying to create a report with a pie chart. The pie chart is based on a query (called Count Pie) that calculates three values:
% IS
% NetInf
% IS + NetInf
I go into Create, Report Design and get a blank report in Design View. I select Chart from the Controls tab and follow the Wizard to specify the data source.
I get a pie chart with the right title (Count Pie). I double-click on the chart to open the report Datasheet and insert the correct value names. My pie chart in Design View looks correct. It has the right title and legend, and shows three slices of the pie corresponding to the three values.
I save the report, and go to Print Preview, where I get a pie chart that looks like a single circle; it has no legend, and doesn't show the three values.
Do I need to have the Access 2010 application re-installed?
I created a report from a query and there is many fields therefore it made the report 22" wide. I rearranged the fields with in 8" but in the property field when I put 8 in there it does not change and it goes right back to 22". in print preview there are 6 pages and only 3 with info showing the other 3 are the extra width of the report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a columnar report that relies on information that are expressions in various queries. Unfortunately, I can't seem to create them in one query because the criteria is mutually exclusive. I used the report wizard to start the report based on the single expression in the first query. Now I want to start adding the other data but I can't seem to get it to work. All I really want to do is include fields that have the have the value, which is already summed, from the other query. When I try that I get error messages like "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'expressionName' as part of an aggregate function' and it just goes further downhill from there. What is the easiest way to get this simple values into the report? Is there a way I can create a field in the report that uses a SQL statement for just that field so I don't have to have the report linking to 50 different queries?

How can I link multiple images from a folder on my drive to each record without making the database file huge?
Each record is a plant species. I want to link to photos of flower, seed, etc. See attached database example.
I would then like those images to appear on a report for each species. How would I go about doing this, if it is indeed possible?
I have a retort that I want to use an option button to filter the report is a specific date is 48 hours before the current time. I'm not having any luck. Below is the code I have been playing with, but no go.
Private Sub NoMove_Click()
Select Case Me.NoMove.VALUE
Case 1
Me.Filter = "CLM = 'Now() - 48'"
Me.FilterOn = True
End Select
If Me.Filter = "" Then
MsgBox "The filter returned Null"
Else

I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.
I have a query from a colleague for their database.They have a report which lists a name and contact info - at the moment this is set in the report. However noone has the ability to edit the report outside of developer mode (hence why I'm being asked!). This information will change very infrequently but I'd like to set up something within the database so that they can change it as and when needed.
How would be best to do this? It will be the same contact person for every report until roles change. There is a tblNames which contains the necessary information (although phone no. and e-mail are yet to be populated).
I was thinking adding a field to tblNames as Yes/No to state who will be the contact (ensuring they know to only select one person at a time) and using a SELECT...WHERE line in the unbound textboxes - however this returned #Name? in all fields.
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection
◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE
◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID.
◦User selects single .dotm file for merge
◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number
◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge
◦User selects SUBMIT
◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID
◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
In a table called Appointments and the field called Plastics we enter the initials of surgeons.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have played with this problem for 3 days and have come close but not quite solved it. My problem, I have several drivers delivering several orders, the orders are named 101, 102 and so on lets say to 150. Due to locations of the drivers, some deliver more orders then others. I want to be able to create a report that looks like
"Driver #1 101 - 106"
"Driver #2 107 - 110"
Driver 1 delivered 6 orders. Driver #2 delivered 4 orders and so on.
I have tried the 'count" which gives me the number of orders per driver but having trouble figure out the design of the calculation in the query.
I am currently using INNER JOIN and GROUP BY to narrow down the RowSource of a combo box based on the value selected in the active combo box where the code is located "onClick".
The value being selected is a StoreID, This ID is matched against the AssetRegister to find all group names, The GroupID and GroupName are then retrieved from the AssetGroup table, then finally the list is grouped on the Group ID and Group Name.
I have tested this query in SQL Server Management Studio and it works without any issues, however when I use it as an inline query to adjust the row source of the combo box it returns no values.
Here is the SQL query:
Code:
SELECT AssetGroup.ID, AssetGroup.GroupName
FROM AssetGroup
INNER JOIN
(SELECT AssetRegister.AssetGroup, AssetRegister.Store
FROM AssetRegister
WHERE AssetRegister.Store=7) AS ar ON (ar.AssetGroup = AssetGroup.ID)
INNER JOIN Store ON Store.ID = ar.Store
GROUP BY AssetGroup.ID, AssetGroup.GroupName ORDER BY AssetGroup.GroupName
And here is the inline query applied to the RowSource:
Code:
AssetGroup.RowSource = "SELECT AssetGroup.ID, AssetGroup.GroupName FROM AssetGroup INNER JOIN " _
& "(SELECT AssetRegister.AssetGroup, AssetRegister.Store FROM AssetRegister WHERE AssetRegister.Store=" & StoreID & ") AS ar ON (ar.AssetGroup = AssetGroup.ID) " _
& "INNER JOIN Store ON Store.ID = ar.Store GROUP BY AssetGroup.ID, AssetGroup.GroupName ORDER BY AssetGroup.GroupName"
