Access Linking A Job Number To Multiple Task Numbers
Dec 2, 2014
I have done multiple tutorials to get the fundamentals behind me, but seem to have a few issues on the best ways of setting out what I have in mind.So the set out I have used is creating a table called tblProjects - this will be the area where all new projects are added as they come in including details such as a ProjectID ProjectNumber ProjectDescrition Client Name etc. For costing purposes we also have task numbers that need to sit under an individual Project Number EG.
ProjecNumber: 13001
[code]...
So the plan was to create another table called tblJobTasks..How then does one go about linking the project number to the job tasks... and following on I suppose where I want to get to with this is on a form having a drop down that selects the job number then another drop down that has a list of tasks specified to that particular job so when the girls are doing the data entry from a time sheet she only sees the list of tasks associated with the particular job selected in the first place..

I am working with a large database of 8,000+ entries. We have five tables in this database, but mainly use three of them. The main table is "OAKE Main Table" which is basically a list of all members our organization has had. Each member has accounting data linked to their member ID number which has been generated by ACCESS, and can be accessed or edited by clicking on a sub table next to each member. The accounting data that has been manually entered in the OAKE Main Table can be found in the Accounting table.
Here's my issue. I need to be able to extract a list of transactions from this accounting table since January 1st. I can do this no problem, but all I get is the member ID and the accounting data. How do I get ACCESS to include the member ID's first and last name? or maybe even the first, last name, address, city, state, zip, etc so that I can get a list of people who have made donations, for example?
I'm assuming this will have something to do with the relationships we have set up in our table. Here's a picture of it. I have no clue how to make this work.

I need to get an average repair price of multiple part numbers with the same root number i.e.
8 each 8TJ124GGN1
4 each 8TJ124GGM1
7 each 8TJ124GGP1
First I used a query to average the repair price of each subset of numbers, and then queried the query to average all the subset prices together.
If I simply use the AVG function in the first query, I can use it again in the second query to get the average price of all the subset price averages. HOWEVER, if I use the expression:
AdjustedAvgLabor: Int((Sum([LaborPrice])-Max([LaborPrice])- Min([LaborPrice]))/(Count([LaborPrice])-2))
…to get a more accurate average by throwing out the high and low values, I get a:
“…expression too complicated to be evaluated”
when I try to average the averages in the second query using the AVG function.
I don’t know why the expression is “too complicated” since the first query has already completed its computations before the second query begins its AVG function.

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.

I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click()
Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....

All,
I've been using Dev Avish's excellent code shown within the sample database section to hide access windows. I've taken his call fsetAccessWindow function and set it to 1 or normal in two separate databases. Both databases seem to work slightly differently. The idea is that opening the database produces one Visible instance of access on the taskbar which is the purple standard graphic (Access 2000 / Windows 2000). With the first database I have set up reports through the active x control as required when using dev's code and even when I hit the report button the user is only aware of one visible instance of access as the purple colour graphic.
I am trying to implement the same code in a second database and have copied the code from the previous database into this database. It works great for the forms however there is a slight glitch when report forms are accessed. Rather than remaining with the purple access part on the task bar the task bar section is split into two between the form and the report. In the previous database users would not notice that the report had been opened at all. (although technically it was still running in the backrground)
I have checked most of the properties between the two database forms and they would appear to be the same..
Has anyone got any ideas why the taskbar is behaving differently between these two databases there must be some difference between my set up but as yet cannot find it??
Thanks Mark

I have an Access database that sends an email to users when there is an exception in the query. It works fine when I run it from Windows 7, but when I use task scheduler I get an error message;
Runtime error 429 activex component can't create object
and the error stops a;
Set olapp = New Outlook.Application
It only happens when i run it from Task Scheduler.

Hi,
WHen I used Windows task scheduler to start my application, and then close the application normally, the application closes but Access is left running, still visible in the task bar. The only way I can get it to close is by using task manager to kill it. I found an old KB article ( # 246953) that hints that this (or something like it) is a known bug in Access 2000 but supposedly was resolved by an Office 2000 service pack 2. But I am already running Windows XP, SP2. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds?

I have a set of numbers, say (these could also be values of a column in a table)
FieldA = { 11, 16, 20, 23, 30, 37, 40, 50 }
I have a number, say 196.
I want {16,23,30,37,40,50} to be returned as these numbers add up to 196.
Note :
1) There is no possibility of two solutions with the kind of numbers that I may be using.
2) A solution using excel is also OK, though, personally I would prefer access.
Edit :
3) {16,23,30,37,40,50} - Each value is a separate record i.e. they are not in a single field, rather :
16
23
30
37
40
50

I have an Access DB with a VB 6.0 front-end. I have a table with a PK that uses an auto-number. I deleted from data from this table in the past, then re-added it back in again just now. However, now when I go to enter a record in this table from the VB executable, I am getting an error for duplicate keys--as the auto-number tries to use a number that already exists. This happens when I just enter a record directly in the table in the DB also.

I have a control called GoToId which afterupdate moves the user to a specified record where ID=GotoID. I want the control to only take numbers as input. I used input mask: 999999;;" " but with it the user can still press a letter on a keyboard and even though the letter doesn't get typed in, I think an empty string gets passed as value.
If I can't do it with masks, what's the simplest if statement in vba that will check if the value is a number and positive? (IF the value is Null, "", or anything else I want the if expression to be false)
I know how to do it with several if statements checking if is null, or if "", but there must be a clean way of asking it in a single expression.

I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table
ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs
1 Max Maximus 5
2 Min Minimus 0
3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table
ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name
1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty
2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .

I have two text boxes and I'm wondering how I can filter my records of my table (through my query), between two numbers on my form. So for example lets call the two text boxes Num1 and Num2, the logical process is:
Code:
IF Num1 or Num2 IS empty
THEN filter records with "*"
ELSE IF Num1 and Num2 contain a number
THEN filter records between those two numbers
SQL, Me.Filter, BETWEEN in criteria. How I can accomplish this.

Basically what I have is a database for tracking/logging parcels that arrive to the office. I want to be able to generate a reference number based on the date of arrival: i.e. the reference number should be ddmmyy### where ### is a sequential number. I know that I could just use the primary key's autonumber, for the sequential number but if I do this then the sequence will not restart at 1 on each date and because we receive a lot of parcels the reference number will grow to be too big to print out on the collection slips in just a few months.
two tables (one with the date and staff on duty that day and the other with the parcel's info') with a one to many relationship
I also have a query (Named: FullLog) that picks up the following data from the tables:
Name - Description - Size - TrackingInfo' - Staff - DateReceived - Count
The field named Count is a DCount function that I used to find out the number of times each date is repeated. This is the Expression that I used:
Count: DCount("*","FullLog","DateReceived = " & [DateReceived]) [Note that DateReceived is first converted into a string using CStr()]
This is as far as I have been able to get, I have been looking for weeks for a solution to this problem but I have yet to find one. I don't even know if the DCount function is the correct way of doing it, I did read somewhere that this produces a very slow query.
Effectively what I want to be able to get is something of that resembles the following
DateReceived - ReferenceNo
051013 051013001
051013 051013002
051013 051013003
061013 061013001
061013 061013002

Hello,
I am using multiple forms to enter some data. When I enter the data in the second form and go back to the main (first) entry form it always goes back to the first record. Also when I am at a record at the first form and go to the second form it always starts at the first record. Is there a way to make the two forms match the record I am entering. I am entering data into the same table. I needed to use two forms because I could not fit all the information on one form. Thanks

I work for a small manufacturing company and have been asked to set up an access database to track production. The end goal is to have a touch screen at every machine where operators will input data. This data will then dump to a different workbook for each machine. My question is: Is it possible to link one access tables with multiple xls documents so that, as data is added to any of the workbooks, it is then updated to a single access table? I also will need to find a quick way to link new files to the table as new parts are put into production.

Hi
I am very new to Access and have been building a database from scratch. It is for inventory management and I have a number of tables, particularly:
1. Stock List
2. Orders (stock coming in)
3. Requisitions (stock going out)
I have created Select Queries for the Orders and Requisitions tables to sum the totals in these tables (i.e. the total number of Pens coming in from all of the orders etc.). These are called StockOrderTotal and StockRequisitionTotal.
I am trying to create a query/report that will allow me list all of the Stock items and the current balance (i.e Orders minus Requisitions) for each item. However, once I add the two queries together (StockOrderTotal and StockRequisitionTotal) the final query/report only lists stock items that are found in both of the underlying tables.
Is there any way that I can tell the query to return all stock items and only list the Order and/or Requisition totals that are in the underlying tables? Sort of like an 'if' statement in Excel, where the value returned will be zero if that particular stock item is not found in the Orders or Requisition tables?
Thanks
Rich

Hello all.
I need to be able to enter a number of orders that would all be the same, but they will have different order numbers, in sequence.
I'd like to enter all the information in a form, then have "First Order Number" and "How Many?" fields, and have the system grab the detail, apply it to the order number entered, create a record in the table, then reapply the detail to the next sequential number, repeating the process until it has created the number of orders shown in the "How Many?" field.
I am at a total loss here, and any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks!
Tom

I am using Access 2010 and I am fairly new to it (started using it for work).
I have a table with a bunch of a agreement numbers (134) and I need to link each one to its folder on our company's shared G drive. The agreement numbers all follow the format A12.## (Where ## is the number of the agreement going from 1-134).
So I have the path to get to the location of all the agreement files, and I know there has to be a faster way than to edit each individual hyperlink, I myself just don't know how to do it.
Also the files on the shared drive start with the A12.## but then also continue with the name of the agreement. I was thinking that somehow for each record you could apply all at once the same path to the agreements and then for each individual record get it to search for its closest matching agreement number?

I am running a report based on a query for a bunch of people who take medication. It runs the report and puts page numbers in the bottom right. Works perfect but I want it to do page numbers per person rather than the whole report. Is that possible to do or would I need to run some code to do them all individually?
