Sorry if this is inappropriate, but I don't think I've ever seen a post by a mod saying so.
We're working on a project developing an enterprise class solution for the petro-chemical industry. Currently we are building a prototype in Access and are in need of an Access developer to help with it.
If anyone in the Houston area is free and would like 2-4 weeks of work, please let me know. Our need is immediate, and would require that the individual work here at our office in Texas City.
How can I make my forms use the whole viewable screen area no matter what size monitor or resolution the end-user is using? I would also like all objects to be seen in the viewable area without the end-user having to scroll down or to the right. Is this able to be set in the form properties somewhere? I hope I am clear with what I am saying.
I need to make a random schedule every week. I have a new DB that I have attached and the current one being used that was built by some one else. The reason for building the new one is I could not figure out what to change to add a new section/Area for scheduleing.
What I have are 3 levels of auditors
Level 1 are the basic auditors which I will need 1 per shift per day Level 2 Are operationl Auditors I will need 2 of the per week Level 3 are management auditors and I need one of those per week.
When I get these compiled per week I will need to make a report to e-mail out.
I attached both DB's the old one to show what I need, and the new for a more stripped down and easier to update version.
Hi all First off, I hope this post is not inappropriate for this forum!
I'm looking for a designer for access in the Wagga NSW Australia area to help me design a database for our small business.
Some of you may have seen some recent posts by me regarding an invoice database. I was attempting to do this on my own but I now admit defeat. I can't get my head around the basics let alone the difficult stuff so whilst I have made a few DB's myself in the past they were basic, this one is way too complax for my hard head.
I would love to hear from anyone in my area who could help with this on a one on one basis (Hence the need for being close to me)
I am willing to pay for this service & would appreciate if the person understands that I want as much input in the design as possible so I can understand it top to bottom when completed.
Obviously I would like some kind of idea how much this would cost me. Bearing in mind itis tutorial sessions as much as design I am looking for. I would dearly love to be able to do this myself via some TAFE trainning or the like but I simply don't have the time for courses etc as my schedule is very hectic.
Anyways, enough reasons, the gauntlet is down, anyone care to pick it up?
Regards Mik
PS - I would like to thank all those who tried to help this poor wretch but I'm afraid I am a monkey see monkey do kinda guy, much better with one on one.
I have a form (eg. frmMain) with a subform (eg. frmSub).
The subform is going to be a query which displays results based on criteria defined in the main form.
So say frmMain had a field called 'OrderDate'. When they typed an order date, all the orders on that date appear in the subform.
The way I have it set up at the moment is that the query criteria is like [forms]![frmMain]![orderdate]
Do this means that once the order date is entered - there is still no results in the subform because the query has already run when the form was opened and, as this field was then blank, no results were returned.
I would like to keep this setup, but - instead of having the subform set to the query, it would be set to another form which just has a commond button.
The user will then input the OrderDate - click the button (which is in the subform) and the query will run. This can be done easily. HOWEVER, is there a way for the query results to be displayed in that subform area after the button has been clicked instead of opening up a new form.
I know in web design you can target links to frames, so wondered if this was possible?
I am using RTF2 ActiveX Control which enables me to include the Rict Text Controls in my Access Form.
I want to generate a doc document out of the information which i type in the RTF2 Area on the Access Form. And whatever Rich Text Format information i have written there (for eg in Bold, Italics, Indentation, Tables created, Bullets n Numbering etc), is retained as it is on the Doc document which i am generating with the help of bookmarks.
Please help in how do i do that 'coz i am not able to do it using the Rich Text Format...
I'm using access 2010 and have Tabbed Documents enabled as well as Display Document tabs.
When i open a form in design mode, it appears that I have the option of setting the form size parameters by dragging the page boarder horizontally or vertically to grow or shrink the size of the form. When I change view back into form view however, these changes don't appear to be having any effect on the form itself.
My question has two parts:
What am I actually affecting when I adjust the page size in design mode?
Is it possible to set a definitive end to a form in form view without reverting back to the Overlapping Windows setting?
I have show results of scores on a graph but need to show if those scores fall below, in between or above acceptable limits. For example, lets say the acceptable range is between 10.5 and 15.6 but people can scores between 0 and 50. So what I need to do on a report chart/graph is show the actual scores in columns, let access automatically adjust the scale, but have the area between 10.5 and 15.6 on the scale highlighted or coloured or perhaps indicated by two horizontal lines across the chart/graph.
I have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable.
I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange behavior occurs?
If I move the button up a few pixels or more, then the clickable area shifts to the top of the button and the bottom becomes unclickable.
The buttons are in the header of the form and is completely visible when the form is in normal form view. I also can not see anything that could be sitting ontop of the button (no transparent controls or anything) that could be obscuring it.
SELECT (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) AS PalletCount, itemnumber, shipdate FROM orderdata d inner join itemmaster m on d.itemnumber = m.itemnumber
GROUP BY d.itemnumber, d.shipdate HAVING (sum(d.cartonsshipped)/m.ctnperskid) > 0 ORDER BY d.shipdate, d.itemnumber;
and not get the aggregate error (3122). I am guessing it's giving me the error because i try to do a function in the select area.
How do I move combo box label into the form header area while leaving the actual field title in the detail area in a subform so they looked stacked like the other items??
I just copied a form from one database to another and for some reason the copied form in the new database does not display. the form opens but the area with all the info is blank... When I choosed design mode it all shows up correctly but in form mode it is just blank.
I have a combo box in the header area. The record source, Bound Column are set correctly ( I know because I tested it on a form ). In this instance, the user would select from the dropdown list, the name of a member of staff, based on the click-event, and passing the Staff_ID to a variable, this would be used to filter a recordset/recordsource for the report. However, there is no dropdown ( or arrow on combo - so no name can be selected ) ?
I have a table that shows "DONE" and "REMAIN" for each "AREA" like below:
Code:
AREADONEREMAIN TOTAL AREA1100200300 AREA2200300500 AREA3200700900
Now I like to make a report that shows "DONE" and "REMAIN" in each AREA with pie chart, now I have problem how I have to do this job for the graph, how should be "row source" of chart control. What query needs on this table?
What would be the best table construction to allow for the inclusion of area information that varies depending on the selection of a certain route, to also include crossovers?
How best to allow users to see all of the areas that apply to each of the routings, but not to be presented with the same grouping twice if more than one routing is selected at the same time?
I should add that I am looking to have these selectable by a combo that is filtered according to the value(s) in other fields.
I have a query to count the number of society members in a particular UK Postcode area. It works well for a single Postcode reference but adding further references to the Query Design View generates an 'or' or 'and' statement, rather than the additional counts that I need.
The SQL code I use for a single reference is : SELECT Count([Mail List].[PostCode]) AS CountofPostCodeH FROM [Mail List] WHERE ((([Mail List].PostCode) Like "BN5 ???"));
How do I amend this code to produce counts for multiple references in one query.
We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are: pkfDriverIndex strLastName strFirstName strInitial strAddress1 strAddress2 strCity strState strZIP datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are: pkfUpdateIndex fkfDriverIndex datDateUpdated strState strLicNumber datExpirationDate ynViolations ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
I have an expression in one column of my query and It keeps returning a negative result and there are no negative numbers in the source data. Can anyone help. I just want to sum the sums the two IIf expressions, but its not working. Thanks
Other Qty: Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=95 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null)) Or Sum(IIf([QSum]![ACCOUNT]=2 And [QSum]![ICUNIT]=100 And [QSum]![UNITS]="ITEM(S)",[QSum]![QUANT],Null))
I have got a query which gives me the following output;
Nr ----------- area ------- area 2 ---------- holler 14-1096-------1------------1-----------------5.9 14-1097-------2------------2-----------------7.8 14-1100-------1------------1-----------------13.4 14-1101-------2------------2-----------------7.8
What i would like to do is to calculate the sum of holler when they are in the same area.So the sum of nr 14-1096 + 14-1100 and 14-1097 + 14-1101. Ive tried to do the following;I tried to do the following just to check it would even work;
Code: test: (SELECT Sum([holler]) FROM querytoetsn2hr_gemiddelde_filter WHERE ((querytoetsn2hr_gemiddelde_filter.area)=("1")))
Which worked perfectly, it gave me 19.3..
Code: test: (SELECT Sum([holler]) FROM querytoetsn2hr_gemiddelde_filter WHERE ((querytoetsn2hr_gemiddelde_filter.area)=(querytoetsn2hr_gemiddelde_filter.area2)))
That gave me the sum of all 4 the Nrs. Which makes sense, because you basically say that as long as area and area are the same calculate the sum of holler.if there is a way to say "sum of holler when area has the same value".
I’m a newbie to Access, I have done some simple things but I now have to do something that is out of my league.
I work in an engineering company and I'm trying to make a database that the engineers can select a specification quickly, a specification or spec is like a table. Things like materials, ratings, pipe Schedule, etc are stored in it. The spec says how strong a pipe will be.
When selecting a spec you have to look at the service (what the pipe is caring, eg high pressure steam, or low pressure water). Services also store things like Design Temperature and Design Pressure.
You are giving the Service, and you have to select a spec that will be able to handle the Design pressures. To do this you compare the Design pressure to the Maximum allowable Pipe pressure (it is calculated at the join (flange) as this is the weakest point).
One other pike of information is the Tables that have the Maximum allowable Pressure. To find the Maximum allowable Pressure, you need to know the Material, Rating and the Design Temperature. Each material has its own table.
If you have a look at the attached file then in tables, SPec has Spec ID (Spec) which is Primary Key. Flange Material (FlangeMat) and Flange Rating (FlangeRating).
The Flange Material should take you to another table, FlangeMat. This table is used to get you to the correct Maximum allowable Pressure table.
There are 2 Maximum allowable Pressure Tables, TABLE_211 and TABLE 212. Here the rest of the information from the Spec is needed (Flange Rating (these are the field names with 150, 300, 1500, etc numbers)). And also the Design Temperature is needed of the service.
Then it looks up the Maximum allowable Pressure from the Table and displays it. I was thinking a form.
Also the design Pressure needs to be displayed so the engineer can compare the two.
So for the form, there will need to be a drop down that has the Service, A drop down that has the Spec, and the two values, the Design Pressure and the Maximum allowable pressure.
All I have done is shown on the file, I started to play around with the Relationships and tried to create a Form but I could not get it to work so. I deleted it and left it with just the tables. If possible can someone please help me, maybe even get my file to work and the post the working one, I will then be able to understand it.
The company I work for uses A97 throughout. Although on my laptop I have Access 2003. I want to design my inventory control database using A2003 not 97 for obvious reasons. I know A97 users cannot open a Acess 2003 db.My Q is: If I created a A2003 db and also built some data access pages within the database and placed it on my server, could users view/add/edit records in the db via these pages using their web browsers? This would only be required across our small network of less than 10 users.Any advise welcome. Even just a YES or NO would help Many thanks.
