Address DB Split Into Multiple Territories Without Duplicate
Feb 20, 2015
I had a list of 1800 full addresses including Postcode on excel, I added 2 columns for Co-ordinates then one column that I use to input data when a call needs removing. I then imported to access table and started to use queries to sort our sales into territories of hopefully no more than 26 calls each, I used the spare column to input a R for removed then only list null entries in queries then I keep adding postcodes in the postcode criteria column until I get around 26 per Query.
My Ultimate goal is to Build multiple Tables of no more than 26 calls that I can geocode onto maps, to make it easier and more cost effective for our sales team.
My Problems are. How do I Prevent Duplicates when entering addresses if new address are entered, I Currently have access creating its own KeyI need to be able to track & prevent duplicate postcodes being assigned to more than one query/Territory table.I need either Access to either Produce a Table Report (As in excel) or might be easier if I just import my data back to excel table.
I kind of think I need new tables for Maps with relationships created between Map table and Territory table. but not sure if this is the best way to go or not.
How to correct the issue below. I created a split form and I have 2 combo boxes that allow multiple selections. The one combo box for LOB (line of business) works perfect and does not create duplicate records in the datasheet view of the split form. The 2nd combo box with multiple selections creates duplicate records in the datasheet depending on how many selections are made.
I have checked this in the underlying table and there are no duplicate records, it is only in the split form datasheet. I have checked settings and configuration between the 2 combo boxes that are reacting differently and they appear to be identical...
I need to modify my customer table to cater for multiple names at one address.
Should I move all the addresses into their own separate table or leave them as is (name-Address-postcode- email etc in one table) and put the additional addressees into a separate table or is there a better way I have not thought of.
I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type 1234 5 The Street P 1234 12 The Street T 2345 13 The Road P 3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
How do I know when I should split a db into multiple tables? Right now- everything is in one table. Is there a rule of thumb or method to determine when I should split it up?
For example- MY DB is running queries on properties for sale. Would I split all the Active, Sold, Expired, Off Market listings into separate tables, since I will be frequently queriing based off of the status of the property? ie- I'll be running avg prices of homes that are in each of these status. If that's the case, how do I know what relationship to give it/how to set it up (use the MLS # as the primary key in each, or do I need a foreign key or something else?)
Is there a general rule of thumb, or guide to use when designing a db?
The file is huge with many sections (eg Names, Address) in it. What I need to do is load it into Access for some analysis.Is there a way I can split the file one loading to the system into multiple tables?
I have an access form that is used for cash-ups. The cash-ups are not done on a regular basis and the owner requested that the database look at the last cash-up date, current cash-up date and calculate the difference in days and then calculate the average take per day by dividing the total take for the period by the number of days from the last cash-up date to the current cash-up date. This was simple and is done however, what he now wants is to export this data to another table and have it split the total amount per record by the average number of days and reflect the average amount per day over as many lines.
Eg: R5,000.00 / 20 days = R250.00 per day.
This data needs to be displayed in TWENTY lines each with a value of R250.00.
I have a split form with 10-15 fields. Each of these fields is a combo box. The trouble I am having is sorting the data in the datasheet of the split for. I want to sort ascending by "ProductTypeName", then ascending by "Parent SKU" and then ascending by "ProductSizeID".
How can I do this when each of my combo boxes have an ID and then a name? Example below:
I have a split database with the backend on our server. When I go to my server and look at all the open files on the network everyone who is in the backend shows up twice. One has zero locks and the other has multiple locks.
I am trying to split a number sequence (Ex. 25372-400-E10-0000-D0021) Where the third number in the sequence can be either 2 or 3 numbers/letters.
The idea is to have a query that will split this number into its individual parts. I have seen several forums about splitting two numbers and such but I can't seem to make that work when I need to create 5 columns from this one field.
I've got a module which loads the data into a table, but it can't handle the records that are ~ delimited, so spits them out as a single field.
I know there is some VBA code that can be used to split comma delimited records, and I've seen bits of it floating around online and tried to alter it to work for the ~, but I get the feeling that what I've seen is only a part of the required code, how to put it all together to make something that actually works.
So, what I need to do is; - Split some records in a table out into multiple fields where there is a ~ present - Place these newly split fields into a table (I don't mind if it ends up in a new table or not)
I'm working on a database with a form input to record my time on projects at work. How to split End Time - Start Time among all brands that I've chosen for a line item?
I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks. So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution. How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into: 1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink 2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as: email1@a.com; email2@b.com it generates as: email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks, Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?
I have an Access Database and I want to split up one column into multiple columns. The one column has multiple rows that relate to one person, so for instance I have the following:I am taking information from both tables and I want to create a query but I need to separate out the mother, father, and guardian with the names attached
So from the Child table :
Joe Smith Address Phone
The query that I created is from two tables, the child table and the family table: ( I used the dashes just for it to be easier to read)
First Name--- Last Name--- First Name--- Last Name--- Relationship Joe ----------------Smith ----------Jane --------Doe-------------Mother Joe ----------------Smith ----------John---------Smith---------- Father
So in this scenario I need to get the name of the second parent in another column....meaning have all the parents appear on the same line for this child, and each child there after..
First Name------ Last Name------ First Name------ Last Name------ Relationship------ 2First Name------2Last Name------2Relationship Joe----------------Smith------------ Jane-------------- Doe------------- Mother-----------John---------------- Smith------------ Father
I have two separate database files, a front end with all my forms and a back end with all my tables. The backend is stored on a network drive, is there any way of being able to store the frontend on the drive with the backend? Users do not use the actual computer to store information or access files, everything is usually saved on the network drive. I have created a shortcut that launches the front end database in the read only kiosk mode.
I have a table that is going to track people. First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth in three separate fields.I dont want to be able to add the same person in the table. How do i do this when the data is in separate fields.
I'm trying to set up a table which will have multiple fields (a recordset? is that right, if so I don't know how to set one up in access). Its for a skill set which is utilised by specific lines in a production plant.
Each line in the plant has a set of skills required. I have a skills table (SkillID and Skill), what I want to do is have a Skillset which I can then link to each line
So for example Skillset 1 with a SkillsetID will also have in that table skill 1, skill 2, skill 3, but all taken from the Skill table. However that would involve having the SkillID field numerous times in the same table, but this cannot be done?
The idea is that for each line I can link the Line table to the Skillset table and that tells you what skills are needed for that line.
I am writing mini database which will produce labels for boxes. I want to be able to produce a sheet of labels based on the 'number of labels' to print field. I can output one label or many on the page/s depending on how I structure the query and how many records are in the query.
My Question: I need is a query which takes an individual record and duplicates it by the integer in the 'Number of Labels' field
when running the attached report I am getting duplicate records. If using the protocol specified tc02026 there should be 8 records total. When running the report it pulls from both queries which have select criteria. How do I limit the report to only give me the 8 records and eliminate the duplicates? When I run each query it only gives me the 8 records I am looking for. Each Sample# in the report is a unique number(to help see the replicates).
I'm using Access 2013. I want to check duplicate data. I have a form where from insert data into table but before insertion I want check multiple criteria with form. How can I do this
Field are: BatchID BillNum CIH IH
back end form code is:
Private Sub cmdCheck_Click() Dim criteria As String criteria = "[BatchID]=" & Me.cboBatchID & " AND [BillNum]=" & Me.txtBillNum & " AND [CIH]=" & Me.txtCIH & " AND [IH]=" & Me.txtIH & ""
[Code] ....
Finally I'm getting this error: Run Time Error 3075 Syntax Error Missing Operator in qry Expr.
