I have been tweaking my friend's database for him. I included some sample data in the main table (ficticious names and addresses etc.) and in a linked table.
I want to leave the sample data in so my friend understands how the database works. However, once he has tested it, he will want to blank those tables (not all tables, though), and reset the primary keys to start from 1 again.
Can I have a button on a form that will do this? Obviously with an OK/cancel message box. If so, how?
Hi all. I'm just getting into Access, so I am still learning pratically everything. Here is my issue-
To learn Access (2000), I have created a very simple database (from scratch) for creating a grocery shopping list. The database works very nice and is useful to creating a shopping list. I created a table of grocery items with a YesNo field indicating that the item is to be put on the grocery list. I then created a form that shows the stores (that I shop at) with a subform that shows the grocery items on the list. The subform can be altered so I can check the box (for the YesNo field) for the items for the grocery list. Then I print a report that displays the grocery list based on the Yes in the checkbox.
What I would like to do is to be able to clear the check boxes all at once when I create a new gorcery list. This way I do not have to go through 50 items and manually unchecking the boxes before creating a new grocery list.
Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any responses- I am a hardware troubleshooting pro, but not fluent in programming- So please go slow !!!
Im not sure what is the best way to go about this.
I have a table with 8000 records and on one of the fields the department name is wrong. eg should be "Marketing", but some records have the name "Marke" or "Marketi"
Is there an easy way to update this field to add on the missing characters ?
Picking up on some previous conversations with people, I have a form (Interconnect Register) within a database that I am trying to add a "cancel" button to which would close the form without saving. I can do this now, but the problem is there is a subform (Sheetsubfrom) within the main form. I have struggled to get the subform data to clear (was trying to use the DIRTY property but it wouldn't work - believe me, spent ages on it!) but have now got the following in place which I thought would work.
Private Sub Command41_Click() Dim retval As Integer
'Check main form On Error GoTo Sub_Form: Forms![Interconnect Register].SetFocus DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, acUndo, , acMenuVer70
The problem has come full circle, in that when nothing has been changed ie nothing to cancel, an error occurs saying "nothing to undo". I believe this is something to do with having an error handling procedure nested within another error handling procedure, as from what I can make out from the help files Access backtracks to the level above. So when I have an error in the Sub_Form part, the whole thing crashes.
Any ideas guys and gals? I could try posting then DB on here if that would help, providing I can zip it up ok
I am currently working on a form that exports a query that changes after a user set filter is applied, and am able to get the filter to apply and the query to export. The problem I am having is that the worksheet that the query is copied into retains all previous data, and if the earlier query export included more records, they remain as they were, is there any way of getting them to be blank.
I want to export my query onto a worksheet that has current data, need to delete current data or delete worksheet so that only the selected data is shown.
My code currently is:
Private Sub Command67_Click() Dim strWhere As String Dim strFile As String Const strcStub = "SELECT NomT.shkFirstName, NomT.shkSurName, NomT.shkCompanyName, NomT.shkAdd1, NomT.shkAdd2, NomT.shkPostCode, NomT.shkRegion, NomT.shkCountry, NomT.shkAdd3" & " FROM NomT" & vbCrLf With Me.FilterSub.Form
i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description. Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc. Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number.. Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard. This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description. What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!
I am trying to create a form which involves 3 tables. The 2nd table (CaseRef_Case_Control) is the junction because I needed many-to-many relationship between “CaseReference” and “Cases” tables.
All I want to do is automatically fill in the fields in the “CaseRef_Case_Control” table when I add data to “CaseReference” and “Cases” table. Check the relationship diagram attached to make more sense. Can someone please help me with this?
I'm currently working on a simple inventory system that i keep trying to improve and making it much less simple :(
In my product table I have a min and max level. What I'm trying to achieve is to set up a form where i can select a Supplier, then hit a button (or another form of trigger) and it comes back with all the products for that supplier where we are low on stock ie
Product - Supplier - On Hand - Min - Max Prod1 - Supp1 - 2 - 2 - 4 Prod2 - Supp1 - 4 - 2 - 4 Prod3 - Supp1 - 1 - 2 - 4
So if on my form I selected supplier Supp1 it would automatically fill in order detail for Prod1 & Prod 3 for 2 & 3 units respectively.
Now I'm pretty sure i could do this as a report as the formulas are relatively simple, however i want to pull the data on a form so it creates an actual order with order id etc.
I'm setting up a small EPoS system for a shop and was wondering if you could help. I want a stock number to be entered (i.e. a barcode) and then the item name and price to automatically be entered.
I have the fields 'StockID, Description, RetailPrice' in tblTransaction and basically want the StockID to be enetered and the description and retailprice to be automatically be read from tblStock and placed in tblTransaction.
Any ideas? Hope this was clear enough...its really hard to describe!
I have a table in my Database that uses the feilds Location and partnum. I use a barcode scanner to generate each of these fields. The problem I am having is that when our part number is scanned it contains data such as "des--. 123456 --aa". I have been doing a find/replace on this data to remove the "des--." and "--aa" but I was wondering if access has a function to do this for me so that I can get a macro to check automatically for this type of problem. Any ideas?
I am pretty new to access and have created a pupil details table which contains: Unique pupil Number(PK), Full Name, Date of Birth, Teachers Name and want those details to populate another table when requested. The secondary table looks up the Unique pupil Number and i wanted the same details in the second table to fill themselves. The Unique pupil number in the second table is not the Primary key and allows duplicates, which has allowed me to create a one to many relationship. I fill the Unique Pupil Number in on the second table via a combo box but am unsure how i get it to fill in the other details on the second table. Can anyone help please???? :confused:
Please forgive me if this has already been explained...but I've searched and searched and haven't found anything like it...
I have a form which contains a command button to open another form which is attached to a subdatasheet in Microsoft Access 2002. When I click on the button to open the sub form, I would like for it to automatically copy the contents of a text box on the original form to a text box on the sub form.
I am working with a table where I want to be able to add choose the customer name from a dropdown and have the customer number automatically populate. I set up the dropdown already using the query builder for customer name and it works perfectly. I also chose customer number in the query, but it does not show.
Even better, in case of duplicate names, I would like to be able to select the customer number and have the name populate.
So ultimately, when I select either field, I want the other to auto populate...
Am trying to import data into a blank database (MS access 2013). The import operation is successful. But the data in the tables gets deleted after a while. And all I can see are blank tables in Access 2013.
I am having trouble with our receiving database. This database consists of two tables. One for vendors, which basically contains their vendor ID as well as vendor name and phone # etc. The other table is our receiving data table. When our receiving person receives product in, they log this in the receiving table including info such as date, autonumber for record, vendor etc. The problem is, when the person selects the vendor id, which is set up as a lookup field, we would like to have the vendor name pop up atuomatically within that record. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this isn't happening. The person is using a form to enter all of this data and runs a summary report at the end of the day. Our accounting dept. is requesting this info be added, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Thanks so much for any assistance! Amy (monet1369);)
Could anyone explain me the best way to fill external HTML pages automatically with data from an Access dbase? I have spotted several commercial tools that use macro recording. Surely there must be another way using visual basic for example?
Hi! I have a table with several fields. I would like to have a lookup in one field (combo list - get data from another table field) and for 2 other related field have the coressponding data appear automatically according to the selection in the lookup field.
Assignment Info: Assignment ID (Primary Key) Assignment Number Criteria Number
Grades: ID (Primary Key) Student ID - Linked to [Student ID] Assignment ID Criteria Number Grade
What I would like to do is be able to link the tables in such a way that for each student entered in the Student Info table, entries are automatically entered into the grades table for each assignment criteria.
For example: Assignment 1 has criteria 1.1, 6.3, 7.2, Assignment 2 has 4.2, 3.3
When John Smith is entered in student info, the grades table is automatically updated with 5 new entries in the form:
John Smith - 1 - 1.1 - Enter Grade John Smith - 1 - 6.3 - Enter Grade John Smith - 1 - 7.2 - Enter Grade John Smith - 2 - 4.2 - Enter Grade John Smith - 2 - 3.3 - Enter Grade
That way I can have a form that automatically shows the possible criteria for each assignment on the sub form for each available student without having to type it in each time.
I have a Macro Which my team members fill and submit the information of their daily workload. And the person who Submits has a Pivot table to check if the Workload that he has submitted has been QCed or not.
I have made 2 Tables one is temporary database and other is a master Database, I keep clearing the Temp Database because when users refresh the Pivot table it takes less time if there is less data and Vice Versa.
Problem Statement: When a particular Column is updated for example "QC Result" column is updated as "Green" or "Red" the entire column needs to be moved to the Master Table.
In a form I have Two fields (which are of interest):

I have a number of charts that correspond to form fields. Once the fields are filled out and the form is saved I want the data automatically to update in the chart.

I have a form (Access 2010) that we use to keep track of client data. When I enter a number equal to 6 or above in one field (Client Rating and this field is actually formatted as text because it could be 6 or 6a, b, c or 7 or 7a, b, c, etc), I want anything =>6 to automatically check a box in another field which is the Watch Indicator box (a yes/no box), how would I do this?
I tried to create an expression like the below on the Watch Indicator check box and it does not work - not sure why - it did not say it was incorrect, I think I may have it in the wrong place?
I have Server Inventory Database where everything is entered manually. I would like to add the ability to automatically update some of the data.
Ideally this would be done via querying WMI and inserting the values retrieved.
I would like to be able to have a button that when selected would query WMI of the server that is currently being viewed and update whichever records I define.
