I'd like to add a chart in a form base on a query. I created a new form, "inserted chart" from the menu, followed the wizard, but after click on finish, i always got the sample chart with "east, west, north" in the x-axis and "1st quater, 2nd quater...." as data series. What did I miss here?
Thanks in advance.

Can Form UseMicrosoft Excel Chart Instead Of Microsoft Chart Wizard

Mar 22, 2006

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a chart in a form, this is not a problem, however, the chart types available are a bit limited compared to if i inserted a Microsoft Excel Chart object.

I'd do that except I'm trying to create a chart based on a query.

Is there a way to make the chart wizard use the Microsoft Excel Chart object as its chart creator so I have access to the chart types available in that object?

any assistance much appreciated.

thanks all.

regards

Help With Basic Structuring

Oct 3, 2005

I will try and be as concise as I can...

I am trying to create a database for our organization that will keep track of our "Gift Fund". I have a table with all of our personnel that includes all of their basic info with a customer ID field as the PK. I then have a table that is for all of the transactions. Deposits, withdrawls, description, date, customer ID to relate the two tables and transaction ID as the PK.

So we have a table with our personnel and a table to record transactions. Transactions occur anytime we put money in or take money out as well as when one of our personnel becomes a member of this fund by paying their "dues".

I have created a form to update our personnel table. It works fine. I also have a form to enter basic transactions. It also works fine. My problem lies where I try to make a form that will add a member to this fund (which in the personnel table is a yes/no checkbox) at the same time entering this as a transaction. Ideally the form would have the user pick personnel from a drop down list, click the yes/no checkbox making them a member and then entering their "dues" as a transaction.

Ultimately I would like to be able present this info in several dif reports showing all the silly statistics that boss' love to see.

Any help would be appreciated and if I have left out any key info, let me knw and I will be more specific.

Basic Principles...

Mar 1, 2006

Hi there,

Having read many posts here regarding normalization, table designs with a view to avoiding duplication of data, avoiding storing of calculated contols into a field in a table (duplication as well as danger of keeping data updated, etc) - I would like to clarify something...

I've designed 2 databases, one sticking to the rules and one breaking them...

I hear the 'don't store' - calculate on demand principle - and this works well in the case of closing a new record where you 'store' a value by passing a subtotal from a subform to a field in the main form. All that passing of values works but there are time delays. Look at the time delay of summing a range of values in a form footer...bout half a second in general...So in this case, storing values fails...(incidentally is there an 'event' for this time delay a calculated control takes to show it's value in a form? - OnErrorCausedByDelayOfCalculatedControlToDisplayIt 'sValue?? Oops ignore the apostrophe ;-).....).

On the other hand you may want to work through many thousands of records, summarising all your data into reports, charts, etc...It just seems that if you stored each records 'total' (say an invoice total) it would be quicker for to work through thousands of 'ready stored numbers' rather than thousands of 'calculations to get those numbers'...or maybe I'm missing something!?

Sorry for all the fuss, but I'm self taught and I wish I wasn't LOL. I shoulda definitely done college instead of getting hooked on databases in my 30's)

And I'm also sorry if this question has been asked before, even under different wording...

Best regards

Tell Me What I Need - Basic Question

Mar 22, 2006

A family is to enter basic income and expenses data comprising of date, description, catagory and price. The family don't work on a budget that is lost at the end of the month if it is not used, but rather it accumulates in each allocated catagory. example: Money not spent on a 'holiday' this month will build up each month in the 'holiday' catagory until it is spent.

They need to enter data. Query, add, modify, and delete records. Also, to print simple reports.

1. Is this a big project for a novice?
2. What exactly is required to be done? i.e What do you suggest I need?
3. Would it be better to buy SimplyAccounting Basic if it did the job?

Very Basic Query

Sep 20, 2005

I have written a basic query that looks at the date field, department field and cost the cost field on a table. What I would like is a form that you can chose a date (19/09/2005) and a it looks at the table and calculates the total sum of money for each department for this date. Ie.

Date: 19/09/2005

Dept 1 = £123.00
Dept 2 = £1234.00
Dept 3 = £123.00
Dept 4 = £1234.00
Dept 5 = £123.00
Dept 6 = £1234.00

I can get the query to work but only 1 department at a time. Any ideas?

I have attached the DB

Thanks

A Basic Question

Mar 28, 2008

Hi,

I'm trying to understand queries a little better -

If I have a query linked to a Report does the query run first - then open the report?
It's just that If I make a new entry to a table the query seems not to be showing the new entry.

Secondly there are different types of query - what are they for?
EG
Updat
Append etc

Cheers
Andy

Visual Basic

Feb 16, 2005

Hi,
Many thanks to those who helped with my last couple of problems.

I've allmost completed my project now and am debugging.

I've found that in order to close one of my forms, which has combo boxes on it, I need to have no values selected in those combo boxes. Could someone give me the visual basic script (or any alternative meathod) for resetting the combo boxes to their default values; i.e. nothing selected in them!

Many thanks,

A Basic Question

Sep 14, 2004

If I am developing a form for data entry into a table, should the various controls in the form be bound to the fields in the table or not?

I have seen that if they are then any entry into the form control automatically fills up the fields in the table.

So, as an alternative, should the controls be unbound and the data entry be through an event procedure with an SQL string??
I will be glad to supply more specific information if needed...
Thanks in advance!

Basic Design Question

Jun 24, 2005

I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the military. I have a table with individuals who have been awarded various decorations. With each decoration a set of orders has to be published. If there is a mistake on the orders, another set of orders has to be published (amendments).

The original orders and subsequent amendments are sequentially numbered and dated. For example, GA001, 1 Jan 05; GA002, 3 Jan 05.

I have two tables: (1) demographic and award data; (2) Order numbers (with issue date; y/n field for amendment).

I linked the tables with a common field Table One (one) to Table Two (many).

I built a form for Table one. I want a subform in the master from to show all the orders issued for that person/decoration but I don't know how to show the next available order number without calling up Table two.

Is it possible to show all the assigned order#s/date PLUS the next available order number?

Thanks in advance.

Can Access Do Some Basic Calculation ?

Jul 3, 2005

I just want it to deduct:
one numeric field from another - to get a miles travelled number ?
one currency figure from another - to get how much more/less fuel was used than last month ?

also to work out:
an average of 3 figures
to multiply one figure by another ?

Is this possible ?
How easy is it ?

This is because I want to move my Excel spreadsheets to Access so I can alalyse it better and create custom reports. But despite browsing Access for a while, I can't find the features I need, or anything in the help file to help me.

I've been using Access for a few years (Access 2000) and have created two custom databases from scratch.

Design So Basic I'm Embarrassed To Ask

Aug 10, 2005

Hello all;

It has been a long while since I messed with Access (or any database) and I am having some trouble finding my way around in design and query.

I have a database with approximately 30 tables which are identical. (All imported from the same application.) The tables vary in size from 2 to 100 records. 6 fields in each. The database will be mainly used for retaining historical data. I would like to be able to query all of them at the same time for a keyword in a field for instance, but as well I think that there may be value in keeping them as individual tables.

I’m having trouble getting my head around the easiest way to tackle this simple project, and any guidance would be much appreciated.

OK, I'm Starting Over - DB Basic Help Needed

Oct 2, 2005

Hi
I posted a thread in the tables section but two things have made me decide to try again.
1) No one answered my Question
2) I Asked my question in a way that was VERY confusing.

So I'm trying again here. I have a DB that will be used for invoicing clients. Some of the data is variable between jobs, clients & vice versa. Some of the data is recurring.

I have several tables that I need to link. They hold information that is labourious to enter over & over in a spreadsheet so I thought a database would be the answer.

One table is called tbl_Consumables
This table has data which varies from time to time but not all data is changed (IE the price of an item may change from month to month. This presents a problem because if I use a table to store the consumables data & the table is linked to an invoice via the ConsumablesID field I can't change any of the consumables data without changing past invoices that should show the old price not the new price.

Basically I can get my head around how the basic design should be set up. I have two main problems.
A) Trying to link a days work to an invoice & be able to change data in the future without affecting past invoices and,
B) I don't know how to set up the relationships & tables so info is linked.

I have a copy of the DB here. The tables are only minimal fields & data at the moment as I don't want to go to all the trouble of setting this up & then having to change everything.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Mik

Access To Visual Basic

Oct 12, 2005

Greetings to all the experts out there,

Here is something I wonder if it has already existed or been asked before, a program or an add-in feature that can compile an Access database (including forms, reports, tables...) to a stand-alone .exe application, just like Visual Basic does. The reason why I think it's doable is because in Access, we use VB codes anyway and it wouldn't need to be rocket-science for Access to do something like that or this would be an improvement for future versions.

There are plenty of advantages of going from an Access form to a stand-alone app, i.e. we wouldn't need codes to hide background and menu or status bar; we wouldn't need to disable mouse-scroll or prevent users to go back and accidentally delete past records; or we wouldn't need to worry about users seeing your terrific coding techniques and on and on.....Agree that all these can be done within Access but imagine how much time it'd save you from not doing all these things.

Thank you all in advance.
