I am creating a database that will need to track contractors to projects and subcontractors to parent contractor and project. I would like to make it possible to have unlimited tiers of subs on a project and track the "tree" or "orgchart" if you will. The main purpose of the database is to track labor compliance violations to resolution. The violation parts are easy. How do I set up my tables so that I can have unlimited tier levels of subs. I will need a report that generates a form letter to the violating (sub)contractor and then CC that letter to each of the contractors up the chain. Thanks in advance. Rich
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk, well basically i am trying to write my own database. and i have not the a very good working knowlage of access and some many bits that are over my head, Would any of you guys be willing to help me out with this?
I would be willing to pay someone to do this, if you could give me prices per hour ether here if permited. or via Private Message.
for comunication purposes i could use skype or msn messanger. as there will probably be some bits i would need to explain. I am a little bit of a perfectionist so i would try and explain as clearly as i can as to what i want. there is no desparate rush on this project altho july would be great, one of my friends was meant to be helping do this as he is good with access but i have been waiting for him to do this for about 6 months.
Thanks

How do i write a where criteria to exclude all records that start with "CM#"

I'm kinda lost in here so I'd appreciate some help in pointing me in the right direction please. I've no doubt the answers are out there but I'm having trouble finding what I need, probably because I don't know how to frame my questions!
Basically the story is this - there are three guys covering various aspects of the business, they each visit three separate locations - all guys visit all locations. We have made a "big plan" that has 14 key deliverables in the locations as a "region" .
For each Key Deliverable there will be Actions, some Actions will be done in all locations, some might only be needed in one location. Each owner will describe the Action and link it to the Key Deliverable it supports.
What we want to do are things like
Take Location 1 and Guy A and show all the things he is doing to support Key Deliverable X.
or
Show all the Actions in Location 2 that are being done to deliver Key Deliverable Y by all Guys.
That sort of thing - progress reporting and identifying where we have nothing happening to support a Key Deliverable or too many actions in one Location etc
We have all our plans in Excel spreadsheets at the moment, each guy fills in a sheet and at present the idea is that we copy and paste it into the mother of all spreadsheets to present to the Gods - it's not happened yet because it's clumsy and well, it's my job to present it and I thought "there's gotta be a better way!" I can import the sheets into Access but then it all gets a little tricky and I run out of tallent.
OK so if you've read this far you're wondering if I have any idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Access! Well I am pretty much self taught and rusty but I can see that Access could help us get organised and
My limitations - I'm using standard Access 2007, I doubt corportate IT security would allow me to add in any useful plug ins or upgrades etc.
Am I using the right tools? I'm limited to MS Office really so I mean should I stick to Excel or carry on pursuing an Access solution?
Thanks for reading this far :-)
Hello... I have a form I created use MS Access... and near every aspect of the form is just the way the company wants it.
However, my boss would like it to calculate certain values... which in spite of my greatest efforts to decipher the more in-depth aspects of MS Access I am unable to do it.
I also designed it to print on legal form paper 8.5 by 14. And it prints out 3 pages. Although there is nothing but a 1/2 inch line in the middle of the 2 pages.
My boss just gave me the authorization to pay for some help.
I personally would like to pay someone to SHOW me how to do it... rather than to do it for me.
I would be willing to email the form to show you if you're serious and able to help me.
Thanks
Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble.
If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be able to see any of the regular menus?
It would be good if the solution involved some sort of admin password rather than a sneaky short cut that a user may accidently stumble across.
Hello all,
Is there a way to make sure only one user have access to change a database, whereas others just have access to view the forms, queries, reports e.t.c.?
Thanks!
I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.
1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?
2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?
3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?
4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.
Hello,
I have two questions related to deplying an Access project I have been working on.
1. I started developing the project in Access 2000, but midway upgraded to Office 2003 and so the remainder of the project has been developed in Access 2003. Things seem to be fine, except that in the top most title bar, after the project name, there appears the following text:
xxxxx: Database (Access 2000 file format)
where xxxx is the name of the .mdb file.
Why is this appearing and should I have done something or do something to make it a Access 2003 format?
2. I am at the point of deplying the db to a small group of users (about 5). Some of them may have Access 2000 or Access 2002. Should I be doing something in particular to make sure things work in their machines.
Any pointers to what may be problems or what I should do will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello All,
I am working on a project that was started in access, but needs to be moved into an Access project so that It can be integrated with other forms. When I did this I realized that my database queries needed to be changed from Access to SQL code. for example instead of representing a date as #DATE# it needed to be represented as 'DATE'.
However I have one issue that I am having issues with.
I have a query that determines a few collumns by running information through a vb function and returning the result.
The issue is I do not know how to convert this code from Access to SQL so that it will work.
The code is
SELECT Action_Indef([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER]),[LOG_NO]) AS [Action], TESTSTAT.*, Action_date([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER])) AS Action_Date_Field, IIf([DUE]<[WAIVER],[WAIVER],[DUE]) AS Later
FROM TESTSTAT
WHERE [LOG_NO] LIKE '*'
ORDER BY Action_Indef([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER]),[LOG_NO]);
Can someone provide me with a sutible sql equvalent to this code
Thank You
Mike

Does Access database support muliple users on the same data update, if so how many. What will be the best way to avoid locking up a field when somebody else is trying to update a different field within the system. It run on server:
confused: .
am working on a Microsoft Access project for my computer tech class and I am stumped on a few things.
I have to do a payroll for all the employees on the project he gave us, I have to list their names, pay rate, and all tax rates when I put in another table. When I run the query and put all the requirements in the query and run it in datasheet view, it comes up with the employees name and every single type of payment and tax rates. So for IE, operations manager makes $18.75 a hour, but when I run the query it has 18.75, 15.00, etc for all the payrates given. How can I have it so just the pay rate and tax rate for just the person who is paid that??
I also have a Address book for all the workers. I need to group them by location of the stores(there are 3 store locations) and then sort the job location workers by last names, any help on how to do that??
I have the assignment scanned if anyone would want to see what all I have to do...
I have used Excel for many years and used the if formula. I have just started using access and need a little help. I have a table the has 20 fields. I am only concerned with about 8 of these fields for a report. I have a field named completed in this field I put a "x" if the job is complete. I would like to create a report that shows me all active jobs. Everything that does not have an "x" in complete field. Can somebody either direct my to the forums I should be in or possible give me the correct coding. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello, this is probably an easy question to most of you but I've only ever designed a couple of simple databases so I've never came accross this problem.
In my database I have several forms viewable using tabs, The main form is tab 1 (client details), tab 2 is marketing information and tab 3 is booking information. Data on tabs 1 and 2 are linked to Client details using the client name. I tested with a sample record and everything was working fine. I have now started inputing all the client details into the client details form (currently entered 200 records) however when I closed the database and re-opened later only one record was showing in the client details form. I though all of the data had been lost but when I looked at the client details table all the data was still there. Why are all of the records not appearing in the form.
I hope you can help and thanks in advance.

I've got an MS Access *.ade project as a front to an MS SQL Server 2000 database (both developed by myself)
From time to time *.ade project stops working properly and title of the main access window says "Project <Project name> (disconnected)"
I check the File -> Connection-> Data Link Properties and everything is o'key ('Test Successful') however on the 'Tables' tab there are still no tables shown, the title remains as 'disconnected' and form's data sources are not accessible
Nothing helps... any ideas?
I have recently made a database and through MS Development Tools have been able to bundle it with Access Runtime. We are using MSDE as a backend and when I install the 'package' created by MS Project on another computer it says that it cannot find the SQL Server database.
This will mean (i believe) I will have to write a macro to reference the external SQL database (MSDE)?
If anyone has knowledge of this or/ and can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

I have db which lists all the projects with related information in it. But also there is a MS project file which holds the milestones and everything else. Is it posible to have a subform which will be linked to a MS project file and will display only the portion which belongs to the project displayed on the main form?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello All,
I have some questions about Access Projects. I recently converted an Access 2003 MDB to ADP, because I was having difficulty linking the tables to SQL after moving it to different servers. I wanted an easier way to make the database portable. ie distribute the Front End to clients with different servers.
I converted all the queries to SQL Views, and got the code to work. However there are still a few thing that are not working as they should. I'll list them to make it clearer.
1. First off, how can I (is there a way to) distribute the ADE file to a client with a different SQL Server and Database Name, without displaying a Connection Error when they first open it? It looks for the old server. I know after they set the Connection, it works fine, but that error is annoying.
2. <FormName>.Recordset.Find doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to Open a form and do a Find to place it on a Record, it doesn't work. Any idea why this is?
3. <FormName>.Recordset.AddNew acts weird. It doesn't add the record at the bottom, but instead, 2nd to last. Also, it doesn't fill in the default values as it should. Any idea's on this?
It seems there are bugs in the way Access forms deal with SQL tables in Projects. The funny thing is this all worked fine with the MDB, while Linking the tables to SQL using ODBC.
Any help would be much appreciated.
