Just wondering if anyone new of any books that contain examples of code, functions, syntax, etc. I would like to have a good reference that I could go to instead of searching the internet everytime I need to try something new.
Thanks in advance.
I am looking for a good Access Book. At work, I have "Access for Dummies" and "Access2000 Step by Step". Are either of these good, bad, etc. What would you recommend. I am a begginner, but know some things, so I don't want something for real beginners.

Is there a web site that has examples of databases to search through to give planning ideas? I've offered to help a friend out :eek: , designing a database which will record all the customers/sales for her small online business. It would be a real help for me to see if there is a 'template' if you like, how this type of database should be set out
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find Invoice Database Examples.
I am creating a Invoice Database at present and am having difficulties trying to work out how to do the final total.
I have many records for each inoice all linked by invoice number. I need to do a query of this table to show me all the invoice items for a particular invoice number then add all the individual item totals together to get a final total.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I know well that combo box has a 64k limit, and whilst there are obvious work around, does anyone here have any sample code for such a solution?
I'm not an expert ms access programmer, and it would save me a lot of time if I had an example to work with.
Thanks
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has an example of a system documentation that could be shared. I'm about to start writing one myself and I'm not sure what to include in the documentation. Thanks in advance!

I have a date field (WhitesDue) that I want automatically filled in when information in another field (Conditions) in another table is entered. The field Conditions is a number field and depending on the number of conditions determines when the whites are due.
I saw the other thread, Automatic Date Function, and was wondering if it was possible to put an if then code in to have the date updated with different dates depending on the number of conditions and the date that the information is put in. For example if someone is putting information in today and they have 4 conditions then I want the date to be automatically filled in with 8/17/04 (is it possible to factor weekends in too?).
Does that make sense? Can anyone help me out here?
Okay I stepped through some code that I have in the Conditions after update event. It works, it puts the date in the code like it is supposed to. Now, how do I get it to put the date into a field on another form?
If [Conditions] > 3 And [Conditions] < 5 Then
[Whites] = Now + 2
ElseIf [Conditions] > 5 Then
[Whites] = Now + 4
Else
[Whites] = Now + 1
End If

As you can see the purpose of this function code is to register into the TblLogChanges every single record exclusion or record change made in any form field of my project when the form is active. In other words if the user changes for example the value of the field Color in the form FrmX from Yellow to Black, the TblLogChanges will have added a line indicating: FrmX, type of change (record change or record exclusion), RecordId (in my case CADID), Current User, Date, and a complimentary string showing Field Color old value=Yellow --> Field Color new value=Black.It works fine when the field "old" value is populated (not null). However, if the feld old value is null, meaning, if the field value is originally null, or yet if the field is originally empty, and I fill it up with some data, then the code does not add an indicative line into the table TblLogChanges.
See function code below.
FYI the function is called in both Before Update and Delete events of the form with the following syntaxes: =logChangeFrmCadastro("E") for record exclusions, and =logChangeFrmCadastro("A") for record changes.
I have failed so far to make it happen. Reason is I'm able to read and understand most written syntax but still not good enough to create my own codes since I do not know to use the range of VBA commands and syntaxes available yet. This is a knowledge gap I'm doing my best to fill in.
what function code changes are required so the function be able to add an indicative line into TblLogChanges when the user changes a form field from "empty/nothing" to something?
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function LogChangeFrmCadastro(strTipo As String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim db As Database, rslog As Recordset
Dim frm As Form, I As Integer
[code]....
A developer where I am contracted to constructs his If statements like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
Instead of like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
End If
All on one line and no end if needed. I didn't even know that would work.
Is this good or bad practice from a coding standpoint? Any Pitfalls?
Thanks
I have been selected to do a project by my department head. It involves programming an Access database to do various things. It has to have forms and all that good stuff. I'm trying to get the higher powers to get a web server for me to do this as a web application, but I may need to fall back on the Access idea. So I need a good tutorial on programming in an Access environment. I know it uses VB and I am pretty decent when it comes to programming with that language. What I need help with is how to do certain things like close a form using an onclick event or to print a report. There's a lot I need to be able to relearn so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it much. I'm doing this for a Commander in the US Navy...(several ranks above me )...so I need to be able to pull this off!!
Thanks much,

Any GOOD book recommendations would be great, and much appreciated. Thank you!
Hello for one of my System Development Methodiology classes I have to develop something that will keep track of several projects that a local hospital has going on. We are to develop this in access and it should be able to show how far till completion a project is and several people should be able to update the database.
I usually do not use access and do not know much about it but is an access database able to be updated simultaneously and remotely? If so were could I be directed to find out more about.
I allready looked at what was recommended in this forum - but I noticed there are only two books listed.
Are both of these books good for beginners or is the Access 97 Bible better? I have seen about a dozen of books and would like to have a few on hand to learn from and to reference as my skills increase.
I truly am after something that can give me a breakdown of the code in Access and what each line really means and the action it produces.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good book for learning more about Access?
I have basic experience with the programme, but am hoping to tackle the old 'questionnaire/survey' issue. A lot of books I can find on amazon seem to be set at such a level that I can already do (multiple tables, simple queries and reports), I need something a little more in depth. Others don't seem to tackle the specific issues I'm going to face (although I could be wrong about that!). Also, as I usually don't bother with computer manuals (I generally pick up and play with new programmes) I don't know which ones are best (e.g. Microsoft own, 'Dummies' etc)?
EDIT: I'm using Access 2002.
Thanks a lot!

I'm new to Access and have been learning how to use it for the better part of a year. I've done all the Microsoft online tutorials relevant to the work I need to do with it, and gotten a few books out of the library besides. In general, I self-teach very well given a good resource.
Here's my problem: the main area in which I need to be proficient is running queries, and I cannot find a good, comprehensive explanation of how to construct expressions or set up calculated fields.
In case I'm not clear (I've had quite a time just figuring out what to call what I need), I'll give you an example. I was able to arrange a short tutorial with someone in another department. As part of a query, she used the following statement in the "Field" section to convert date information stored as mm/dd/yyyy into just the year:
Year: IIf([referraldate]<#1/1/2003#,"2002",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2002# And #1/1/2004#,"2003",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2003# And #1/1/2005#,"2004",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2004# And #1/1/2006#,"2005",IIf([referraldate] Between #12/31/2005# And #1/1/2007#,"2006")))))
This is the kind of thing I want to learn how to do. Unfortunately, the Microsoft tutorials don't do much more that give examples of different expressions and functions; I feel like I've been given a handful of sample sentences, a few nouns, and a few verbs--and then told to go speak English.
What I need is a comprehensive guide that not only gives me the building blocks of expressions, but tells me how to combine them into a syntactically meaningful statement--so I know what order things go in, where commas and parentheses should be, etc. Both online or print materials are fine--I've been looking on my own, but with no luck.
Thanks for your help!
Can anyone recommend a good place to upload a database so others can access it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi! I have a client who wants a training tracking software built that will allow for simultaneous use by up to 850 users.

Here is my setup:
In Acess 97 I have a single data base with 5 tables, Attorneys, Employers, Health Care Professionals and two others. All tables have exactly the same fields.
I am trying to create a “phone book” made up of all the records in the data base. The form for this phone book has only a few fields such as fname, lname, phone, address. It also has the autonumber field. The record source for the form is a Union Query. When I open the form it works well. I get lawyers, employers, doctors , etc. all in alphabetical order.
Here is my problem:
I have a command button labeled “View Record.” I want to be able to click on this and have it find the record in its original table and open the form for that table so the record can be modified (on exiting the record I have it requery so the phone book is updated).
I can only get this to work with one table at a time, that is, the table that is named in the event procedure code. So if I am in, say, an Attorney record and tblAttoney is named in the event procedure code, all works well. But if I am in, say, an Employer record I get a blank Attorney form opened.
How can I get it to trace the autonumber to the proper table and open the record . I assume that the autonumbers are unique ACROSS all five tables since they are in the same database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have an updated link to a free utility download that will auto create a backup of my database as well as do a compact and repair at a scheduled time each week. Maybe twice a week if possible! :p
