I work for a Local Council and trying to streamline the DA process a bit by using Access. I have two tables.
tbl_Conditions which has ConditionID(PKey) and ConditionDescription Fields.
tbl_DA has the field DA (PKey) followed by numerous conditions for simplification let's assume I have only five conditions each with there own field. SC363, SC449, SC106, S105, SC32.
For each DA in tbl_DA I go through and if condition SC363 applies I input SC363 if it does not apply I input NO. This is repeated for other conditions.
Everything above this point I have working like a charm. However from here on in I am seriously struggling been stuck for two days with no success!!
I would then like to create a new table ready for merging into word. The table would be the following
tbl_DAMerge would have fields DA (Pkey), SC1ConditionDescription, SC2ConditionDescription....., SC5ConditionDescription.
The condition descriptions would be coming from tbl_Conditions the description would only be inputted if the condition applied otherwise it would be left blank.
I have tried Dlookup, and update queries with multiple joins but it always comes back doing something random.
I wanted to create a form where you can select multiple values from the table "years" and on a button it would open a query displaying all the records in "students" in those years selected.
Anyways this at first seemed not to be too hard however has become a bit of an issue.
I would like to have a vertical block with the color green in my report. This block should be as long as the page itself, however I cannot get it to cover the whole page as it will stop when the report runs out of data. Does anyone know a 'trick' that would force this box to be as big as one page, without making the details section this large by default (I dont want only 1 record on a page).
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.
Apologies - i'm a "rookie" at Access - but i have searched for a while now on the site for the answer to my question... I'm sure there is a simple solution somwhere here but i cant find it!
I am putting togther an venue database - with all the usual fields: Name, Address, Capacity etc... of which i have set up YES/NO, Free Text and Number fields. No problem!
I have also set up various lookup lists which work fine, apart form the venue "Suitability" lookup list.
The choices are:
Corporate Private Drinks Reception Dry Hire Music Event Conference
Now, some venues may be suitable for SEVERAL of these uses - so how do i select multiple uses from this list as opposed to just one?
Many thanks in advance for your help - im learning fast! :rolleyes:
I apologize if this has been adressed. I searched but did not find it. Partially I think because it won't let me use the word 'two' in the search. That's kinda important in this case.
I know how to make a lookup combo box. I used the wizard and copied and pasted the code, actually. What I need is the code to base the lookup from two combos.
For example, the records in my table contain information about different districts on certain dates.
I'd like to lookup the record that matches both the Report Date combo and the District combo.
I have a query that based on certain codes in a record does multiple joins to pull in other codes... I want the query (based on these pulled in codes) to do a lookup in another table to extract 1 field that has a description...
Can I do this in one query??? Do I need to do a Make Table to first pull in the codes and then do a second query with a DLookup based on those fields???
I have a member table and donation table. For a donation, I'd like to lookup the last and first names from the member table. I set the lookup for the last name and can see bothe first and last names in the drop down list. When I pick, I get the last name in the DonationT but how to I pick up the first name? That is, how do I fill DonorFirstName in DonationT from the FirstName field in the MemberT?
Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport Household Motoring Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
I have a database with various tables containing information about students, timetabling, assignment submission dates and multiple tables with grades for various assessments. All grades are held as percentages.
In a large number of different queries / reports I want to output the grade as an item from verbose scale with 17 points (excellent first, high first etc.). I've set up a table called 17pointscale which contains fields called 17pointscale (with the verbose names), lowerlimit (number) and upperlimit (number).
I have a query in SQL (which works) to take the percentage grade from one of my grade tables AssessedWorkGrades.Grade and return the text on the 17 point scale.
SELECT AssessedWorkGrades.Grade, [17PointScale].[17PointScale] FROM AssessedWorkGrades LEFT JOIN 17PointScale ON ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] >= [17PointScale].[LowerLimit]) AND ([AssessedWorkGrades].[Grade] <= [17PointScale].[UpperLimit]);
Is there any way of converting the SQL to a custom vba function which would enable me to use this as a lookup in a large number of queries.
I think that it should be possible to set up a function called ScaleGrade and in any query Expression: ScaleGrade(XXX) will take XXX and return the 17 point scale.
I think that AssessedWorkGrades.Grade needs to be replaced by a variable that is inputted on use of the function but am not sure how to accomplish this.
We have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify. (2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
I have two tables, one table (1) hold three fields, one of those fields is the master key (index). The other table (2) has a field which I want to lookup from table 1, that part is working. In the combo box I get all three fields displayed as I make my selection. I want to copy the other two fields as text at the time the lookup index is selected. I do not what the fields to automatically update each time the table is displayed. I have looked at update macros, I've looked at VBA.
I am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.
My colleague has a multiple table database and uses lookups for some fields. The simple query was to extract 3 fields and display all records from those fields. The result of the query was that the selected fields were listed first followed by all other fields which are usually not displayed.
In our Student Administration database, we have a Student Evaluation Report which prints a 1 page per student report in memo like format. The instructor had previously input rating numbers (4=Best, 1=Worst) for 9 categories for each student via a database form into the Evaluations Table.
Two other elements of the rating are an Attendance based on number of days absent and a Grade Point Average (GPA) calculated from the student's test scores. The instructor then prints and reviews the report with each student.
There is an Evaluations Parameter table which has the following fields:
Field Description
ID The autonum key field.
Class eg., 2015-1
Evaluation Number A single digit (eg., 1, 2). There may be more than 1 evaluation for each class.
EffectiveDate The "as of" date of the evaluation.
There are then several other tables that are input to a query that will be the record source for the report:
Table Purpose/Data
Students Student Name, Class
Absence Has a record for each student's absence with date and a 1 or .5 indicating a whole or half day absent.
Test Grades Has a record with each student's test results with date and score.
Evaluations Holds the rating score for each of the 9 rating categories.
The Student Evaluation report is launched from an unbound Reports menu form via a button. On the Reports menu form I wish to have controls for the user to select which evaluation to report on. The Absence and Test Grade information needs to include records that are <= the EffectiveDate in the Evaluation Parameter table. The Evaluations records need to match the Class and Evaluation Number in the Evaluations Parameter table.
I would like the user to be able to select the Evaluation Parameter via a combo box vs. specifying the Class, Evaluation Number and Effective Date separately and then have the query record source for the report use those two fields as criteria. But my limited understanding of the Combo box indicates that only 1 field from the lookup query of the Evaluations Parameter table can be stored in the control whereas I need 3 (Class Evaluation Number and EffectiveDate).
How the user can select the desired Evaluation Parameter record on the Reports menu form and use the 3 fields from the selected record as criteria in the report's record source query.
How would I go about getting vertical lines as column seperators down the entire page. The problem I run into is every time the row size changes there's a break in the column dividers. Someone suggested using a function in the On Print event for the report, but there is no OnPrint field in the event tab of the reports properties. If anyone ever did anything like this before, please let me know.
Due to limited space in my Report Heading, I am trying to vertically label columns. I figured out in the Properties section of the label that I can turn on Vertical Label. However, when I view it on the report, the label, which is now vertical is turned to the left vs the right. How do I flip it? In addition, is there a way to rotate the text to a 45% angle.
I'm trying to run a pass thru query into a sybase server from Access. The query contains multiple selects which Access doesn't appear to like very much. The query works fine when run in Sybase.
Is there any way of circumventing this problem?
I could split the three selects into three seperate queries to view the individual results but the third set is dependant on the previous two sets and so therefore is difficult (impossible?) to seperate out as a third individual query.
into #temptable1 from SET_VALUATION s, INSTRUMENT i where s.id_imnt = i.id_imnt and s.id_posn_ref is NULL and s.id_imnt_swap is NULL and s.am_pnl_eqty > 0 and i.id_typ_imnt != 'SFX'
into #temptable1a from SET_VALUATION s, SET_VALUATION_HIST sy, REFERENCE_DATA r where s.id_prtf = sy.id_prtf and s.id_imnt = sy.id_imnt and s.pr_imnt_mtm_prev != sy.pr_imnt_mtm and s.am_mv_prev != sy.am_mv and r.dt_bus_lst = sy.dt_bus
into #newtemp from #temptable1 t, #temptable1a tt where t.Portfolio_ID = tt.Portfolio_ID
delete from #temptable1 where #temptable1.Portfolio_ID in (select Portfolio_ID from #newtemp) delete from #temptable1a where #temptable1a.Portfolio_ID in (select Portfolio_ID from #newtemp)
select "Where id_posn_ref is NULL and id_imnt_swap is NULL is the only criteria" select * from #temptable1 select "Where SET VAL's pr_imnt_mtm_prev does not equal SET VAL HIST's pr_imnt_mtm, is the only criteria" select * from #temptable1a select "Where the output satisfies both Where id_posn_ref is NULL and id_imnt_swap is NULL AND Where SET VAL's pr_imnt_mtm_prev does not equal SET VAL HIST's pr_imnt_mtm" select * from #newtemp
drop table #temptable1 drop table #temptable1a drop table #newtemp
I have a series of Unbound control boxes in one row. some text extend to two lines and I want everything to be centered both horizontally and vertically.
Can't figure out how to vertically align the contents of the controlb boxes...
