I have a query that is pulling data from a table containing a Tamestamp field. I want to set the query to pull my data but don't include anything that was logged in TODAY. How can I set this in my criteria?
I'm sure there's an easy solution to this somewhere...
I have a query that is supposed to assign a wage to a production job if the range output falls within a certain percentage range. For example, if they produce 125% to 130% of their goal, their wage is 15 cents higher. If it's between 130% and 135% of their goal, their wage is 30 cents higher. There are about 20 ranges that my bosses want set up. Short of making the longest Iif-Then-Else statement in history, does anybody have any suggestions? Should I use a separate table and somehow try to integrate it into the query?
I have updated a database I created with additional reports, some UI enhancements, etc., but have not changed anything about the table structure, field types, etc. The database has been in use for about a week by the user and I was working on my local copy. How do I provide the updated database to the user without incurring key violations on the auto-number PKs when their data is imported into the new version?
I want to avoid duplicate dates in the date field of my form. It's a little more tricky than it sounds though. Imagine two fields in a form; one list box of eleven values and one date field. Once i have chosen a value from the list box i enter the date in the second field. It is ok for one value to have the same date as another value (in another record) but i don't want to have duplicate dates for one value. Any idea how to SIMPLY overcome this problem?
Not really looking to fully understand how it all works, i would be happy just to fix the problem.
I have three subforms on my main form. They all display salary details from different sources, and each subform has 2 calculated fields in the form footer to show the average salary and the number of records on which the average has been calculated.
I then have a field on the main form to calculate the average of the averages which works OK unless one of the subforms has null or zero in it, in which case it returns no information.
Can anyone suggest a way of bypassing this divide by zero error? The code I'm using to calculate the average of averages is as follows:
I have 4 queries needed to power one report. I've tried combining the queries into one so I can run the report off that. However, there is too much data and I get all sorts of errors. My only solution was to toss that data into a table thereby eliminating all the calculations and expressions and cleaning up the data. Is there a more elegant solution to this issue?
Hi, nuther question from the forum dunce I'm afraid, I want to ensure the user of the form cannot enter the same [cboPlayerName] twice for the same [txtMeetDate] (thanks for the advice trubolotta, I changed the name of the [Date] field.) The user will select the PlayerName from a combo box. Can I have the list in the combo box diminish by each player as they have been selected for a [txtMeetDate] I suspect a monstrous amount of code & intellectual input will be required to achieve this. Basically, what I'm asking (this time !) is how can I have my program search my tblScratchScores for duplicate names for the [MeetDate] that I am currently inputting Data for?

I have a modest sized data base and have been having trouble keeping out duplicate records with the same last name, first name, and DOB. I know I could use all 3 fields as a primary key, but I would like a simpler way of checking for duplicates.
If different people will be entering data into a "new donor" form, how do I keep them from adding the same person a second time?
It's possible people could have the same name, and it's possible that two people at the same address could be donors. So I assume I would want a "no duplicates" on the combination of name and address, right? But how to actually do that.
I have a function to write some data to a text file (as an activity log, separate to the live data contained in the DB)
It uses the FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile method and works fine
However, I'm conscious that, although perhaps unlikely, there is the possibility (which is enough for me to worry about it) that multiple users could trigger the function simultaneously, which could cause a conflict when multiple FE's try to write to the same log file at the same time.
So I'm trying to add some code to prevent this from happening, by checking if write-access is available before proceeding.
Below is the piece of code I've added. Was considering, as an alternative, looping until the objFile is no longer Nothing, rather than depending on the Err.Number?
Code: Dim objFSO As Object Dim objFile As Object On Error GoTo ErrorHandler ... Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
I'm getting back into Access after retiring and about 10 years of isolation (from Access). I have 2010 version and know that one should avoid duplicate entries and a way to do this is make those fields unique key fields. I have a Customers table and have bounced back between CusID (AutoNumber) and Compound Keys (CusFName and CusLName) as the key fields. The compound keys prevent duplicates but become very hard to work with later in code and expressions. The CusID is preferable from that standpoint, but can't prevent inadvertent entry of duplicate names.
Currently I have MS Access DB which has some Oracle database table reference using database link concept. I have entered DSN Name,user id and password which it asks when I try to run some queries which will fetch data from oralce DB linked tables.If some wants to use my MS Access DB, they need to have DSN and everytime they run queries related to Oracle database table reference, it will ask for DSN,user id and password. For this I need to share the user id and password credentials to everyone who wishes to use my MS Access DB which I don't want to. Is there a way to avoid the login window whenever some one wants to use my MS Access DB without asking for oracle user id and password credentials everytime? My ultimate aim would be encrypt password for others.
What is the best way to determine start and end of a day? I am trying to pull all records that are time stamped with today's date and time. I tried >now()-1 but because hours are involved I end up with records from yesterday as well. I need to pull EVERYTHING that has today's date and time.
Hi All I need to be able to do a count before and after the current date. My table has fields named month and year and I need to find the count before and after the current month. Any help would be much appreciated. ChrisD
Hi I have a form that I use to capture information. The "DateReceived" field prefills with todays date. I also have a "DateResolved" field that I would like to prefill with the current date, however that date would be different from the Date Received date. The reason for this is because user logs information then goes back into the form and closes the case by entering a Date Resolved. Thank you
I have an unbound text box. I would like to use the Iif function so that if someon'e preferred address is B (business) It returns the field [BUS JOB TITLE] and if it isn't B it returns [BUS JOB TITLE] and then [BUS EMPLOYER] on the next line. I tried this: =IIf(([PREF TYP]="B"),[BUS JOB TITLE],([BUS JOB TITLE] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [BUS EMPLOYER]))
And it's returning "#ERROR". Help! I need to finish this today for a big meeting. Thanks!
This is probably an easy criteria but I'm getting close to COB and I have to have it in today.
I have a DOB as (DD Mon YY 04 Jul 79) in which I need to create a column for thier age. Then I have to show all the people who are over 60 years old. I can't even get thier age to show correct. Any help. Thanks
