Access Table Design Help - Franchise History
Oct 27, 2006
I'm struggling with a table design. My problem is how do I keep the history for one sports franchise no matter how many times they move or change their name? I want individual team info as well as franchise team info.
i.e.
Team #1 Brooklyn Dodgers has many transactions
Brooklyn moves to LA
Team #2 is Los Angeles and they have many transactions
etc, etc.
How would I build my tables if I wanted to write SQL statements to give me all transacation from the entire franchise? I only need help with the teams. I already have a junction for the transactions.
ie All Transactions for all teams who started with Brooklyn. This will grow to 5-6 teams eventually.
My initial idea was a self join in the teams table
Code:tblTeamsTeamID PKTeamNameHistoricalTeamID
TeamID = 1
TeamName = Brooklyn
HistoricalTeam ID = 1
TeamID = 2
TeamName = LA
Historical Team ID = 1
etc.
I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Rob

Hi,
I have made a table(picks) with fields
PickID(primary AN)
Username
Weeknumber
winninningteam
pointvalue
The data is entered through a web based(asp) form. It is for a football pool. The problem i am having is trying to figure out a way to show the picks that are made for each person. I would like to be able to show a table that has columns
Name
Week1
week2
week3
...
week17
so that people can see the picks they have made all week. I tried creating a query using the wizard but I havent had any luck. I am guessing that this isnt a great way to structure the table but it is the only way I could figure it out. Any ideas on how to get this done?
Thanks for reading.

I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.
what I am trying to do is have a button that will copy that record to a history table then delete it off the the main table.
I cheated by using the wizard to get the code to delete the record but I am having troubles modifying the code to copy that record to the history table. Here is the code below. I have tried to insert code in several places but it just errors out.
'------------------------------------------------------------
' Master_tbl_sub_fm
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Function Master_tbl_sub_fm()
On Error GoTo Master_tbl_sub_fm_Err
With CodeContextObject
On Error Resume Next
[Code] ....

I have a parent table (tblLabels) and a child table (tblRevision) where the revision history for the parent table is kept.
The parent table is populated via an excel import and may have several records imported at once. Instead of having the user manually enter a new record note in the child table for each record imported into the parent table, I've created a form that collects the necessary data (date, person who added the record, person who authorized the record, and notes) and then creates a revision history for each new record.
This is what I have so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddNotes_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim RevisionDate As String
Dim RevisionRevisedBy As String
Dim RevisionDesc As String
[Code] ....
When I run the code nothing happens. No error, no new records create, etc. My suspicion is that I may need to use an INSERT INTO query instead of an UPDATE query, but I'm not sure how to go about matching up the foreign keys if that's the case.

Is there any way to leave a trail or history everytime a record is changed? We have kids in our database that sometimes go to follow-along when our service will not work for them at the present time. These kids go in and out sometimes several times. Since there is no absolute way of knowing, we have to create a new record everytime they come back to our service. I would like to be able to see a history of status changes along with some dates. Is there anyway to do this? If anyone knows, let me know. If not, oh well. Thanks guys.

My 2nd post, and I am very new to DB and Access. I have a problem that I want to get help on. I want to set up a main form that is used to enter and delete all data for my table. I wish to add either a button or to make it automatically happen when a record is deleted, that it is first copied to a separate table with the same fields, except it also has a closed date that would be the date that the record was copied over. I know zilch about VB, VBA or any other language other than AutoIt, so assume I am what I am, an ignorant beginner.
I did look into the event somethihng like upondeletion or something... while trying to find help on this in the access and VBA parts of Office, but I do not know how to utilize the event with Basic or SQL, which I know none of either.
Any help or examples are very much appreciated.
**EDIT**
I do not require all fields to be recorded to the secondary DB (History), so if someone can just give me an example of how I would move two fields to a separate DB, I can hopefully learn enough from it to do more.
Thanks a Bunch!
EXAMPLE**
Current Loans (Table 1):
CustomerID
Name
Address
City
State
Phone
Customer History (Table 2):
CustomerID
Name
Phone
That gives an example to help understand what I need. I want to store the CustomerID, Name and Phone values of the record being deleted, to the History Table, which I am using as a closed account table for later look up.

Hello.
I'm building a history table to keep track of some changes that occur on one of my forms.
Here is what I'm using to build my history table:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblDateCycleTestingChanges", dbOpenDynaset)
With rs
.AddNew
![CycleTestingDatesID] = Me.CycleTestingDatesID.Value
![Changed] = Now()
![ClientID] = Me.ClientID.Value
![ProjectID] = Me.ProjectID.Value
![TaskID] = Me.TaskID.Value
![TaskStartDt] = Me.TaskStartDt.Value
![TaskEndDt] = Me.TaskEndDt.Value
.Update
End With
Set rs = Nothing
End If
I have 2 questions:
1. I'm not sure where to insert this event. I'm thinking on Before_Update on the updated field? (I don't want to put it into Before_Update for a form event as I have other things that are being filled out/changed and I only want to keep track if certain fields on the forms are updated/changed.
2. I would also like to keep track of Old and New values for those specific fields. Is that at all possible?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.
I would like to know how to create a history table that will copy information from a field called "Status" on my form just in case I inadverently erase old information from that field without me being aware of it with my keyboard keys etc. In others words when I'm am interrupted by someone and I didn't notice I had erase the information by mistake and closed out the form and realized when I go back into it, my old information have been erased and I don't have that information documented anywhere else to re-enter that old information into the Status section on my form.
Thanks.

Dear All,
I have a MAIN table which stores the most recent info of a record with
following details:
Unique_Ref_Num|Status|Dept
1 |6 | 1
and a second table called history which records changes in the main table
HistoryID | Status | DateStamp
1 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:00#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:01#
2 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:05#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:06#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 11:00#
2 | 3 | #22/10/2007 15:00#
1 | 3 | #22/10/2007 16:00#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 16:10#
Where Status 1 = Open, 2 = Allocated and 3 = Closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to get the count of number of queries which are not closed
(outstanding) at any point in time.
Example: (with a time parameter)
Input | Result
22/10/2007 17:00 | 1
22/10/2007 16:05 | 0
22/10/2007 14:00 | 2
I want to achieve this with just 1 query (not by using one query within the
other) b,coz I want to further use this query from Excel VBA (write through
Excel VBA and not store the query within Access)
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Hello!
I am trying to update the current status of an asset, when it was returned or checked out. At the same time, save the changes in a history table to record all the changes in past. I can do individually from different tables and different forms, but I would like to do from one form and one record entry. Is it possible? If so can anybody help?
Thanks

I have form1 that has the current commodity When i need to change the commodity I want the following to happen when they click a button: open the commodity change formthat form has a drop down to select a new commodity and a date of commodity change date fieldWhen the user submits it will move existing value to history along with the Date of change (separate table)Next it will take the value in the new commodity box and make it the current commodity
My thinking is that when i click the button to open the change form I can save the commodity at that time but I wont have the date yet. Just not sure of they best way to go about this.

I have a table that deals with current data (as in member rentals of items). The normalized tables that we have been given include a rental history table. The idea is that, when the member has returned the product a history entry is made in the completed rental table.
I wish to have a button which is clicked to triggers this event. Would I program a macro to do this? In other words, would I create an event that passes those values to the relevant fields in the other table (Name, date issued, return date etc)?

I need setting up a history table for contacts and the companies that they are associated with. I am sure this will be obvious to some of you database veterans but I am fairly new to Access and I can't seem to figure out the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do.
Here is what I need to do:
When a contact's employment status changes, I need to change the contact's current company association but somehow maintain his or her association with the previous company so that s/he can still be associated with past projects.
So, in my contacts table (TBLContacts), I have a foreign key field "CompanyFK" that links to my companies table (TBLCompaniesPK). There is a one to many relationship between TBLCompanies and TBLContacts.
I want the CompanyFK field to be the current company but somehow link the person with past companies too so that the project directories and subforms will continue to show the contact's association with the parent company.
Maybe I don't need a history table but something else?
I have a similar problem with companies that change name, too. How to deal with takeovers, name changes, mergers, etc.

trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:
Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).

I am designing a database for my organisation. I have done most of it but am stuck on this. Ideally I would like to have a check box (in a table) that when checked a load of data is carried across from that record to a record in another table.
Given that I can't and don;t want to use VB is there anyway that this can be done easily?

I am having problems coming up with a Table design and need help.
I am trying to design a table that will have 8 categories, 47 subcategories, and then choices within those categories.
Much like the following (this is only one category example, there will be many):
(Main category) Floors -> (Sub categories) Joist, Carpet, Vinyl Flooring, Wood Laminate -> (Choices for Joist Sub Category) Structure Wood 2X8 Joist, Plywood 2X8 Joist, Structure Wood 2X10 Joist, Plywood 2X10 Joist
This only shows the flow if the main category is "Floors", sub category "Joist", and then the choices under subcategory "Joist". There will be others for the other categories, subcategories, and choices.
Can someone help me or steer me in the right direction in setting up the database table/tables to accomplish this. Oh and BTW, there will be prices attached to each "Choice" under the subcategories.
I hope that this makes sense... any help would be much appreciated.

Hi all, i wonder if anyone can help?
It's a simple question really. I'm currently learning databases and am doing a project, just to show that i understand everthing i've learnt so far. I have to produce a small database.
There's nothing difficult about the project, and its a very basic database, but i was just hoping to ask a small question.
I'm producing a DVD database, to hold details on a collection. My main table holds the majority of the fields, as follows;
lngDVD_ID
strDVDTitle
strYearReleased
lngDiscAmount
dtmFeatureLength
lngCertificationID
ysnBoxset
ysnExtraFeatures
strDirector
lngMovieStudioID
lngCategoryID
curPurchasePrice
The problem came with boxsets. Originally i was just going to have boxsets as one entry, but some contain a few dvd's, each with different certification, etc, and i wouldn't be able to record running length, director, etc.
So i added a ysnBoxset field (just to record whether a dvd was part of a boxset or not) and then made a new table with
lngDVD_ID
strBoxsetName
So now i can record which are part of a boxset, and the name of the boxset they belong to. But.. then i got to the problem of Purchase Price. Obviously i cannot record an individual purchase price for those which belong to a boxset, and i want to be able to record the price of the boxset.
So my question is... is it acceptable to add a curBoxsetPrice field to tblBoxsets, which would allow me to store the price... and then just leave curPurchasePrice as £0.00 for those dvd's in a boxset??? Or is there a better way of doing it? (I know there is, but i'm a novice :( )
Thanks for any help you can give, sorry for the lengthy explanation! :rolleyes:

Within my db I have a table, tblProjects which currently has 36 fields. Each project will have a fixed set of 12 tasks, each having a begin and end date as well as a yes/no "completed" field. This would add another 36 fields to tblProjects.
Instead, I have created a new table tblTasks which has these 36 fields along with a PK(TaskID) and FK(ProjectID) and is related to tblProjects. I believe tblProjects is already normalized properly with relationships to tblCompanies and tblContacts as well.
I'm not sure if this was neccessary, or should I have just added the task fields to tblProjects. What, if anything, are the advantages of one way over the other? I'll be upsizing to SQL Server, does that make a difference?
I appreciate any advice,
Sup

Hi,
Bit of a long one but I require some advise if people can supply it.
I've started creating a DB that is now getting out of hand due to me being inexperienced. The things I want to do now are getting way to complicated. From reading various posts I know that this is all being caused by my database design and while the DB is still young I'm go back to square one. I want your advice on this if you can to ensure 3 weeks from know I'm again not chasing up weird bits of VB code to make it all work.
I basically have a lot of information to hold that interconnects with each other. I'm making up a role profile DB (so we can assign define access rights to a computer system) I have lots of info to collate but the basic stuff is.
Staff Records (Name, business area & ID)
Applications (What computer applications do staff require)
Shared Drives (What access to shared drives and folders do they need)
Shared Mailboxes (what access to shared mailboxes)
Roles (users will be assigned roles to suit their requirements)
Basically what I have at the moment is below.
Roles
Role ID
Role Name
and about 15 other fields that dont really matter for this
Applications
Application ID
Application
Shared Drives
Shared Drive ID
Shared Drive
Shared Mailbox
Mailbox ID
Mailbox
Each role will only have a select number of applications, mailboxes and drives from the overall list. so role 1 may give access to 2 of the 10 applications, 1 out of 5 shared drives and 3 out of 4 mailboxes. Role 2 on the other hand may need 9 out of the 10 applications, 1 out of the 5 shared drives and 1 out of 4 of the shared mailboxes.
I just don't understand how I can create a form from these tables that would display all the different roles with their respective apps, mailboxes and drives they would need.
any advice you can give to help whould be appreciated.
Again sorry for the long post.

I am designing a db for our Law office. I want to have tables for different types of Civil Cases-ie Divorces, Deeds, Contracts, Personal Injury, Auto Accident, Slip and Fall, Product Liability, etc. The divorce, Deeds, tables are easy but I am having difficulty deciding on the personal injury tables. Heres my dilemna. Can I get away with one or two Personal Injury tables even though there will be blank data fields. For example, I will need a field for the name of the product in a Producrs Liability field. This field will be blank in all other Personal Injury Cases. I know the rule is you don't do that but my alternative is 15-20 tables for every concievable Personal Injury Case- Auto Accidents, Slip and Falls, Fraud, Prouduct Liability, Accounting, Attorney, Dental and Medical Malpractice, etc. This is in addition to other civil case tables, criminal case tables and federal case tables. Anyone have a suggestion?

I am not sure if which I should be using as the main entity for my tables. I am creating a database for hourly information on individual employees. Each employee will have the same types of hours to keep track of (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc) I naturally thought to treat each employee as the databases own entity and created fields for each type of hours but hit some trouble when trying to pull queries to compare each employees hourly information against each other to see who is being efficient or not. Each employee has the same exact fields but with just different numbers. We track each type of hour by week (Field One: Week 36, Field Two: Aug 28-Sep 03)This is the first time I am creating a database from scratch. All advice greatly appreciated and TIA :confused:

I have a table within a database and i was wondering whether or not i should split the table into 2 seperate tables.
The layout of the existing table is to record quotation information ie product codes, cost price, sell price, delivery dates available etc and it also contains fields that allow the user to state if the quote has been authorised or declined, when it was authorised and a number of options to explain the reason the quote wasn't accepted.
QuotationID - Primary Key
EmployeeID - Foreign Key
CustomerID - Foreign Key
EnquiryID - Foreign Key
ProductCode
Quantity
CostPrice
SellPrice
DeliveryDateAvailable
Notes
Authorised - Yes/No field Type
DateAuthorised
Declined - Yes/No field Type
ReasonDeclined
LostPrice - Yes/No field Type
LostStock - Yes/No field Type
LostDelivery - Yes/No field Type
LostCustomerClient - Yes/No field Type
LostNoFeedback - Yes/No field Type
above is the layout of the table, does anyone think that it might be a good idea to split this table into two tables, one table to record the quote information and another to hold the authorisation or decline information??????
