I have an access form which is edible for users; there is an only-read mode and a edit-mode.
I want to put a textbox in the header of the form which changes depending on the allowedit function (if allow edit is true then "edit-mode" and if allow edit is false then "read-only").
I tried something like IIF([AllowEdits];"Edit";"Read") but i think i am totally wrong? (please don't laugh at me!)
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
Please can you guys give me some basic help, im pulling my hair out over this one!
Attached is a test database which im writing at work, what I would like to happen is that when a new machine ID is selected from the drop down box (combo box) all the relevant fields update with all the information in them.
Please could somebody download my test database have a quick look, see if they can sort it for me then upload it back and explain how they did it.
I have a query with the following criteria in one of the fields:
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom())
fom is a function for first of the current month. I need this query to be specific to what month it is when its ran so i want to only have this criteria if the month is > = october. If it isnt October or greater, i want the criteria to reflect this.
>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom()
Which also works by itself. But when i add it to an iif statement it always produces no results. Below is the iif statement.
Iif(month(date())>=10, >=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=DateAdd("m",1,fom()),>=DateAdd("m",-12,fom()) And <=fom())
I have also added the column name to each expression and it still doesnt produce any results.
I am creating a multi-search form for a student database, where after I enter my search criteria I hit a "Run Query" command button and then it opens a query form with all of my criteria.So far I can search using last name, first name, and middle name. When I try to search with a start date and end date I am have issues.The start date and end date is for the class date. In the query form under the field, class date, for criteria I wrote:
Between IIf([Forms]![Search Form]![Start Date]="",1/1/10,[Forms]![Search Form]![Start Date]) And IIf([Forms]![Search Form]![End Date]="",4/25/15,[Forms]![Search Form]![End Date])
I want it when I write a date in the start date and end date I want it to give me a list of all the students who took the course between those dates. Also, if I leave the dates blank I want it to search all dates. The dates 1/1/10 and 4/25/15 are just the dates I gave because that is far back as my database goes.
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.
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...
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?
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.
Hello all This is a pretty basic query I guess but I am having trouble solving this.. Can anyone help plsssssssss. I have two tables Table1 Code Serial_No Amount1 Amount2 1 ABC 100 200 1 ABC 720 220 4 ABC 150 112 9 PQR 11 25 9 ZZZ 122 44 9 ZZZ 1250 42
Table2 Code Serial_No Amount1 Amount2 1 ABC 24 20 1 PPP 72 22 4 ABC 15 12 9 PQR 11 54 9 ZZZ 22 44 9 ZZZ 150 99 and total of the amount as 844 and 440
I have write a query to select only the Code common to both the tables and add total of amounts for these codes. For eg. I want rows Outpput 1 ABC 100 200 1 ABC 720 220
I have two tables: A & B, and I want to join the two by a common field, and only add one field from B to the A table (based on the common field). How do I accomplish this?
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
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!
I have a table with eight fields. I want to do a chart where I the piles are "tighten" togther two and two. I would like the chart to look something like this (Example):
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!
if i have multiple tables set up with multiple attributes and one common attribute, say email, is there a way for the user to enter once from a site or form or whatever and the email record be filled in all the tables.
So I have a table with two fields of info that I want to concatenate into a new field. My problem is Field 1 consists of data as such (FI, EDG, EQ, EM, etc...) I only want to concatenate if the value in field 1 is NOT FI (all others are okay). I am trying to no avail to build an if/then statement. Is there an easy way to accomplish this goal and preserve the same # of rows in the resulting query?
How do I create a form with multiple subforms? I need to create a receiving report that allows for entry of multiple types of merchandise received (tracked by barcode) as well as multiple employees (tracked by employee ID#). I think I need a form with two subforms. Has anyone ever dealt with this?
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?
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.

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.
