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 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!!
Does anyone know what would cause records in a table to change their sequence? I have a table that I clear out. Then I append a header record. Then I append the detail records. The table always is populated correctly. But sometimes, when exported to a text file, the header ends up down amongst the detail records. What would cause this?
Hello All, I am new to access so this might be a stupid question but here goes.
I am making a new database for my orders (which I download from my eCommerce software in the form of a CSV file).
The Problem I am having is that my Order numbers are unique and that is what identifies the orders, however in the table data each order that has more than 1 item is listed on 2 seperate table lines. All info on the rows are identacle until the Part # field and the price field.
How can I make access understand that these few lines of data with the same order # are actually the same order with multiple items on the order?
I realise I could do it by basing the form on a query like:
Select * from table order by field
But I have allready made andlaid out the form, after basing it just on the table. Is there a way I can now order the data on the form, after having created it?
Before I start I must say I’m not a coder (not even slightly). I’m just trying to reverse engineer a little access database to speed up order processing. The guy who created it has left :(
It’s a customer order database and at the moment if there is repeat business it requires manually copying over data such as name, address etc. from their old order. Is there some way to create an order from a previous or (ideally) currently viewed order?
This is the code for the “Create new order” option:
Private Sub Command93_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command93_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Exit_Command93_Click: Exit Sub
Err_Command93_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Command93_Click End Sub
Is there something I could add that would copy and transfer the currently viewed name/address to a new order instead of just a new blank one? Is it even possible to copy/transfer data from currently viewed text boxes to a new order? Maybe there is a better way to do it?
I have created an audit trail for data held on a form so that when a field is changed it adds a line of text to a memo field with the date of the change and the old and new field values. The problem I have is that each time something is changed the line of text is added beneath the existing text in the memo field. This means that for users to view the most recent change they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the memo field. Is there a "Quick" way of me having the most recent entry first. I am using the vbnewline command when adding the text. A sample is shown below:
Dim Response As Integer Dim AnotherItem As Integer Dim sqlstr As String
Set Myform = Forms![DataDetail] Producer = Forms![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers].Column(1)
Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to add a Producer?", vbYesNo, "Data Dictionary v1.0") sqlstr = "INSERT INTO DataProducers ( Data_Id, Producer_Id ) SELECT Data.Data_Id, Producers.Producer_Id FROM Data, Producers WHERE (((Data.Data_Id)=[Forms]![DataDetail]![Data_ID]) AND ((Producers.Producer_Id)=[Forms]![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers]));" If Response = 6 Then DoCmd.RunSQL sqlstr Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "Changes made on " & Now & "" Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "The Producer '" & Producer & "' was added to this data item""" Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "-----------------------------------------------------" MsgBox "Producer has been successfully added.", vbInformation, "Data Dictionary v1.0"
This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).
I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer. So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person. As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending! Can enybody help me?
I have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
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?
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 have a Form which contains a datasheet and I have some code which allows users to custom sort this datasheet. Another table based on this datasheet is then exported as a csv file. However, the data is obviously not exported in the same order as the datasheet and it is quite critical for the application to be a sucess that it is exported in the custom order chosen by the user.
I have done some re-search, searching groups, forums etc and found the solution of having a 'sort column' in the table the datasheet relates to, I can then use this in the query that exports the data. My only problem with this is I had to manually fill in this sort column in the datasheet, once I had decided upon my final sort order. Is there anyway to fill this column automatically based on a row's position in a datasheet?
Hi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.
The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields. -Unit part number -Diameter of wheel 1 -Diameter of wheel 2 -Diameter of wheel 3 -Diameter of wheel 4 -Diameter of wheel 5 -Diameter of wheel 6 -Diameter of wheel 7 -Diameter of wheel 8
So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields: - Diameter >530 - 530> Diameter >540 - 540> Diameter >550 - 550> Diameter >560 - 560> Diameter >570 - 570> Diameter >580 - 580> Diameter >590 - 590> Diameter >600
Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?
I have a report that generates the position of certain items. When I produce this report it doesn't put the data in order. All associated data with that position is correct, it is just not in numerical order. The attached screenshot shows the issue I am having. In the position column it should read 1,2,3,4 but in some cases the positions are not in order.
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.
Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.
I have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";" Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
I'm taking my first database class and I'm working on a hospital project in which I need to determine which pair (one doctor and one nurse) has a decremental performance as weeks go on.
I would like to find what pair had a "Good" result in week 1, "Average" in week 2, and "Bad" in week 3. My problem is that the results need to be in this specific order.
The professor told us to use a formula and I got the solution after building 6 queries that involved union, difference, and cartesian.
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?
