I have a table with a bunch of values for time spent on a variety of projects. Each persons time on a project is entered using a form. What I'd like is to then be able to add some of these times to get a total department time and a total project time in the table to help with our project costs estimating. Anyone have any ideas as there doesn't seem to be an easy way in the table itself to merely add columns. Thanks in Advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two combos with a cost price in Column(2) where the underlying table has a field called fldCost (Number, Single, Auto). After selecting from both combos, cboF1 has 3.11 in column2 and cboF2 has 10 in column2. (eg: £3.11 and £10.00). I'm trying to add the value from both combos in an unbound text box on the form set to Fixed, 2 decimals with the ControlSource =Nz([cboF1.Column(2)])+Nz([cboF2.Column(2)]).
The result I'm getting is 3.1110 and not 13.11 as it should be.
I've tried setting everything to currency but it makes no difference. I've tried individual unbound boxes to get one result at a time then another to add them but that gives the same result.
I work for a non profit agency, and we offer a Representative Payee service (paying bills for those who can't handle their own money). I've created a database that keeps track of everyone's finances, and gives us all the reports we need. The only thing I have not been able to do is to actually print the checks.
I have a report that pulls up the data (in check format ... including making $1.00 say one dollar and 00/100). But I'm stuck trying to give the checks a check number. I can't figure out how to pick a number to start with, and then add numbers sequentially.
Hello
I 've created a report that uses a query to show some specific records of a table. I'd like to use a text box that has a nuber for each filtered record shown.For example:

Hello all,
I have a table, with a whole series of reference numbers in, which I have moved over from an old database, and am trying to integrate the data into my new database.
The numbers, in order to work with my new db need to be 6 characters long (as they are looked up in a sql-stored table that another application uses), otherwise it won't match up the clients to the reference numbers properly.
Anyway, some of these numbers are 6 digits anyway, such as 123456, but some are just 6543....I need 6543 to be changed to 006543, thereby creating a 6 digit number.
This, I am sure, is pretty simple, and only needs to be done the once - but I can't think of a way of doing it!
Any help much appreciated!
I have a database where on the form we are just put in total deductions. We want to make sure that the total deductions is correct so while we are entering this number we want to do an excel thing by hitting = 1 + 1. Anytime we do that we are getting an error message. I really didn't want to have to set up a table to store these different amounts because we really only need the total. Is there a way to do that? I changed the format from currency to general but I'm still getting the error.

I'm working on a pretty serious report (at least for me)...I have 3 sub-reports inside, and the point of this is to use VBA and loop through several conditions (in the underlying queries), and print out in a batch for the user. When I add a page number footer it adds about 3 seconds to the processing time for a 14 page report. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but when I loop through and process this 12 times, that's a lot of added time for the user...(the last thing I want to hear is it's slow!)
So, would it be faster if I set the page numbers in VBA? What event would I use? On Load?!? Also, how would I find the page number variables in VBA?
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

When I have a 3rd table looking at the row source of the 2nd table, which is looking at the row source of the 1st table. I only get numbers.
Everything I have read so far points to using a query as a solution. However, the query I made is not updating the information from the 2nd table.
I have attached a few examples.

this below shows. I changed "Bakersfield-test1" in the original table. However, the query I made does not update, still showing "Bakersfield-test". When you click on the drop down, it shows the updated "Bakersfield-test1", but it does not repopulate my column with the updated info from the table.

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.
Hi all,
I Have a question regarding lookup tables. I have a table called tblActivities. In this, I have created a field called ActivityBudget. I would like this to be a lookup field (select entries from a list). In order to do this, I have created a table called tblBudgetLists with all the various budgets. For the AcitvityBudget field in tblActivities, I have set it as Text with the following things:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: tblBudgetLists
Limit To List: Yes
The function is half working... There are 19 entries in the tblBudgetLists table. When I select a budget from the list in tblActivities.ActivityBudget, the numbers 1 to 19 are displayed (I am assuming because there are 19 entries), rather than the names of the budgets. Any ideas on how to change this?

Hi There,
I have a table that has two numbers, both require incrementing with each record.
These take the form of "00"0"/05" and "Book11 Enc"0.
I want these to update automatically but Access won't let me use two autonumbers in same form. Does anyone have a suggestion to get round it ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have a strange problem, I have created this query:
INSERT INTO WEEKONE ( Assigned_To )
SELECT QPTActions.Assigned_To
FROM QPTActions
WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
It works, but it inserts Numbers into the Assigned_To column in the table WEEKONE. When I looked in the QPTActions database the values are text but the type of column was originally set to Number. I changed this to Text but its still inserting Number values into the destination table. How can I fix this?

Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?

I have a temporary table with all text fields for importing data to a normalized table. In order to import I need to prep the data by pulling the numeric values of "lookup" type fields (nb. not actually using MS Access lookups)
My prep query is producing 9 more records than there is rows in the import table, even though every join is a LEFT join, which should just pull all import rows and match up lookup values where they are available.
eg. of import table (all fields are text)

I am using VBA to execute a 'Make Table' (named 'DT'). One of the fields in DT (named 'Dollars') contains numbers that have 6 to 8 digits; some are positive and some are negative.
These large numbers with no commas (or parentheses when they're negative) are incredibly hard to read.
Any VBA coding that will change both the "Format" and the "Decimal Place" Field Properties on the table I make (i.e. "DT"). I want to the Format property to read (#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)) and the Decimal Place property to read "2"). This will allow me to display a number like -10326786.41 as (10,326,786.41) which is incredibly more readable.
Is it possible to do this programmatically; I've search the internet high and low and could find anything remotely useful.
I'm developing a database for the hospital I work in. One purpose of this is to keep track of patients with temporary invasive devices (there are many types such as urinary catheters, ventilators, etc.), specifically how many days each patient has a device for. Each device is associated with one patient only, but one patient may have many devices. Here's how the associated tables are set up:
1. tblPatients - PatientID (PK), LastName, FirstName, DOB,...
2. tblLocations - LocationID (PK), LocationLabel,....
3. tblDevices - DeviceID (PK), DeviceType, Device, DeviceDesc
4. tblDeviceUse - DeviceUseID (PK), DeviceID (FK), PatientID (FK), LocationID (FK) (where in the hospital was device inserted, e.g., operating room, bedside, etc.), DeviceStartDate, DeviceEndDate
5. tblDeviceDailyLog - DeviceLogID (PK), DeviceUseID (FK), DeviceDate, PatientLocID (FK) (area in the hospital that patient is in)
All primary keys except for PatientID & LocationID are Autonumbers; and the tables are linked appropriately.
Whenever an entry is made into tblDeviceUse, I want there to be new records to be automatically generated in tblDeviceDailyLog for each date between the Start and End Dates. For example, patient A123 had a urinary catheter from 1/1/2000 to 1/10/2000 that was inserted while the patient was in the ICU, but the patient was moved to the Medical Ward on 1/7/2000. So tblDeviceDailyLog should have 10 new records associated with this device, one for each calendar day, with the appropriate location for each day.
I'd like to learn how to do them quickly and effectively in Access. One of those things seems like it would be an incredibly simple, intuitive operation, but it's not, at least not to me.Say I have some data that really should only be on one table, but it's currently on two tables in Access: "List Main" and "List September Adds." They both have the following fields: "Full Name" "Email" "Address" "City" "State" "ZIP" "Phone."
The first table is my main list of contacts. The second contains new info, consisting of 1. a few new contacts, and 2. updated info for a few of the contacts already in table "List Main."
I would simply like to put all the new contacts from "List September Adds" into my "List Main" table, and I'd also like to fill in a few missing e-mails in "List Main" with newly gathered e-mails for those contacts, info that is in my table "List September Adds."I'm sure there is built-in functionality to do something as basic as essentially turning two pages of the same spreadsheet into one. In fact, I know I could import data from an Excel file and have it "append" to a preexisting table if the fields are all the same.
However, I'd like to know how to do it when the tables are already in Access (without having to learn any SQL, mostly because I'm fairly certain I don't need to know SQL to do something like this). I've heard of Append and Update Queries and given their names, it sounds like they'd be useful, maybe with use of "Totals" and "Group By" to get rid of duplicates; however, I can't seem to get any of this to work right.
Mostly, when I think I am doing an Append correctly, it doesn't add new data at the bottom of a table; it just wipes out all the data that was there, and replaces it with data from the source. For instance, when I've been running an Append Query to get my "List September Adds" rows into my "Main List" table, what I end up with is only the "List September Adds" rows, and all the "Main List" rows gone.
I have two tables they both share column 'Mile Markers'. Table 1 lists all mile marker from 0-60 in 0.1 mile increments, in order. It also has a column for x and y coordinates. Table two only lists 435 random mile markers. Is there a way to add the correct coordinates to the 435 mile markers in table 2 from table 1?

I need to add a supplier Product number in there some where so I could keep the numbe as reference and so it may be easier to enter items recieved.
in the form section, I will have Invoice with a sub form Invoice details.
I need to put suppliers Item number somehow so it would search and if the item is on the product list it would fill out the rest of the values.
should I make a separate table for suppliers product number or should I just include that into the invoice detail? I dont want to put it in the product table since I get same Items from different suppliers.
