I've recently begun building a database to keep track of stock at work. Nothing particularly special or difficult. I have a little bit of prior experience with Access and VB, but not heaps.
Basically, I've created a tables for parts, companies etc, and am relating all the data together.
At the moment I've made a form that allows you to enter a new part, with Part Number, Description, Category, Supplier, etc.
The complication comes when I want to create an ASSEMBLY of parts. I'd like to create an assembly (which has a lot of similarities to a part, in that it has a part number, description etc), and that assembly needs to store a list of parts that it includes. A simple assembly might include a few items, ie, a bowl of meatballs includes the bowl, a fork, the spaghetti, and 5 meatballs. A more complex assembly (a complete dinner for 5) might include 5 bowls of meatballs (a sub assembly), pepper and salt, 5 glasses and two bottles of coke.
I'm not sure how to best store this assembly data...
I can't really have a table with a finite number of "part" spots because the assemblies get quite large. I'd rather not use an ugly VB macro that stores the PartID's with quantities either, as that could get thoroughly out of hand pretty quickly.
I'm sure there must be a simple method for doing this, but without having a clue as to what it might be called I can't really look for it in help!
:confused: Hi I have some 100 questions for which user must answer by selecting any of the options provided using option buttons.
As i cant fit all 100 qtns in one form am splitting it into soem 10 forms.
User answers the qtns in 1st form and clicks on next button to goto to nxt form thn agn he answers the qtns in tht form and clicks on next button to goto nxt form..so on.. until he answers all the qtns in the last form.
I want to transfer the answers selected from 1st form till the last one..where all the answers are stored in one table whn a submit button is clicked.
please let me kno ASAP if thr is anyway i can do it. thnk in advance

I want to have my records in my form show the latest entry, not a completely new form. The user will click on the new record button to create a new record but I want the user to be able to see the last record. Anybody know how to do this?
Hello. I am quite new to Access and even newer to this forum. So please be gentle...
My question is quite simple i think. I want to display one particular record.
I have a keyboard wedge barcode scanner.. so basically a quicker and easier way to input digits or letters into a field. I also have lots and lots of CD's DVD's which i want to track and list the contents of, by simply entering the cd/dvd's barcode number istead of having to insert into my pc and browse manually.. if possible searching within results would be good too.~ think of it as a supermarket style.. input number - output entire contents... there could be hundreds or even thousands of programs or music titles,images, videos or documents.. along with any associated data, (where it is stored, who borrowed it last etc)
Can anbody outline the basics for me to implement this? remember i am quite new to Access and databases in general.
Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work on/in this forum. :)
i have the following code in a function but when i want to compile it i have the following code will be blue i have error in this line:
.NamedParameters = True
the error message is this :
method or data member not found
my code is as following:
Function Get_Bearbeiter_Detail(ByVal vBearbeiter_Code As String, Optional ByRef vBearbeiter_Name As String, Optional ByRef vReadOnly_Flag As Boolean, Optional ByRef vAnalyser_Flag As Boolean, Optional ByRef vAdmin_Flag As Boolean) As Boolean On Error GoTo Err DoCmd.Hourglass True Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
I am receiving the Method or data member not found error message when I attempt to add a new record in form view. I have been working in an old 2002-2003 version of Access until last week when it was converted to 2007. The old version allowed for additions just fine but now after the conversion something is wrong. The code is below. I underlined the line throwing the error message (FindFirst). Code is not my strong suit.
'Open form to new record gstrCallingForm = Me.Name strDocName = "frmNewApplicant"
I'm a newbie trying to upgrade a 2003 database to 2010. When I compile this database an error pops up saying "Method or data member not found". This is the code below:
Private Sub CBPrintReq_Click() On Error GoTo SendPrintError Dim NewID As String, Notice As String, Temp Dim CRLF As String * 3 CRLF = Chr$(10) + Chr$(13) Notice = ""
I have a choice of either calculating a field or storing it.
Specifically, I have two pieces of data ... departure time and arrival time which I have taken from another source. This other source also has the difference between these times. Currently, I am not storing the difference in a field as I have opted to calculate it in my database.
However, I am thinking that maybe it would be better to store it vs. calculating it because I have 35, 000 records and storage space is not going to be an issue.
What do you suggest if I my main concern is speed and effeciency?
I know this is probably a basic question but I just need to clarify something.
I created a combo box using a wizard in a form that relies on its options by looking up data from a spefic table (Y) i.e. such as employee role. So far so good.
However when I create the field in the table in which the user response is stored in Table X, and I am specifying all the details in the general and lookup tab,
Do I:
A. store the data as text or B. do I go to lookup tab --> display control --> combobox etc..?
I have two tables one that lists accounting codes by county and one that a user will have an entry by county which needs to store the applicable acct code from the other table. I want the user to be limited to the use the accounting codes assigned to their county only when they enter data on the second table.
Table examples:
County Code Funds Spent Accounting Code Date Entered Aitkin 123 $20.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 Aitkin 112 $23.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 Becker 145 $12.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 County Accounting Code Aitkin 4872727001000000 Aitkin 4842727001000000 Becker 4872727005000000
I have a form (frmTimecardsDataEntry3*) that needs to requery combo boxes to narrow down the selections offered in the dropdown of each combo box.
It is a data entry form. I.e. Dataentry is set to yes.
The ClientName combo box has an after update event which requeries the matter combo box, so that the MatterName combo box dropdown only shows the matters relating to that client. This works just fine.
The MatterName combo box has an after update event which requeries the Rate combo box so that in the Rate combo box dropdown only the hourly charge rates relating to that matter are shown. That works too. So far so good.
I then tried adding another after update event to the MatterName combo box, so that another combo box, Application, was requeried too, so with the Private Sub it looked like:
Rate.Requery Application.Requery
But this resulted in the error in the title to this post and the debugger highlighted in red the word Requery in the phrase Application.Requery.
I thought maybe Access does not allow two requeries resulting from one after update event, so instead I took Application.Requery out and placed it as an after update event in another combo box which did not have any other after update events to run.
However, this resulted in the same error.So the error appears to have something to do with trying to requery the Application combo box but I cannot see what is causing the error.
The Application combo box SQL is:
SELECT Applications.ApplicationID, [ApplicationDate] & " " & [ApplicationName] AS ApplicationDisplay, Applications.ApplicationDate, Applications.ApplicationName, Applications.MatterName FROM Applications WHERE (((Applications.MatterName)=[Forms]![frmTimecardsDataEntry3*]![MatterName])) ORDER BY Applications.ApplicationDate, Applications.ApplicationName;
This is the same arrangement of SQL that I am using on the other requeried combo boxes that work. When I take the WHERE statement out of the Application SQL and run it the query returns all of the applications.
I am not sure what the error code is trying to tell me about the attempt to requery the Application combo box.
I have a yes/no box in the form and when the firm is first opened it has a small square dot in it, but as soon as any data is entered in the form the dot clears and leaves the usual empty tick box that you would expect to see.
Also, another possible symptom is that I had another version of this form previously working quite well except that when I did several data entries all at once, so I had several forms filled in with different data (before refreshing and thus entering the data in the table), when I scrolled between the forms I kept losing the MatterName data when I scrolled back, and then when I re-entered the ClientName data the correct MatterName data returned without me having to use the dropdown to select it.
I have had an earlier simpler version of this form working for some time, with ClientName requerying MatterName and MatterName requerying Rate, and I am using the same SQL structures in the new form but getting the error in the title to this post and the other isues just described.
Hi guys,I'm new to Access except using it years back but much has changed from the 2000 version to the 2007 version - it's slowly coming back to me though, as it's mostly just an interface change. Although I'm highly experienced in SQL (mySQL) and database design / structure from being a Web Programmer.I'm wanting to store a stock amount for products. Using 3 tables, for products, orders and sales. Here's a real basic layout:productsprodID | productName | productStockordersorderID | supplier | prodID | quantityBoughtsalessaleID | customer | prodID | quantitySoldThe products table is just a list of the products. Sales is where I log what I sell to customers and the orders are what I buy from my suppliers.What I'm wishing to do is use the products table to store the stock of that item so as soon as I make a sale, that quantity for that prodID is subtracted instantly from the productStock and when I make an order it's instantly added.Is this possible, or is there a good way to do this?All help appreciated! :)Thanks,Nick.
I am getting method of data member not found for the following code when inserting values to a table. Form has three frames. Add/Insert is on OnClick Event.
I need to know if I can store data in more than one field, without allowing Duplicate entries.
Example: We have to send out letters with a claim number on it, sometimes we need multiple claim numbers on a letter, up to about 10 claim #'s is the most I've seen thus far.
We mail merge into Word to create the letters.
However, these claim numbers cannot be duplicated within the database and in order for this to work with the mail merge, I need several fields to store the claim numbers.
To be more specific. I probably have a bad data structure as I was kind of rushed and a little inexperience with putting the database together. It's for work and sometimes management just doesn't want to wait, they are so negative.
In brief, most everything is in 1 table and I know from reading this forum that I shouldn't do that, but that's another story.
Further, a claim# is tied together by the same claimant, the relationship code is what separates the claimant with the family, the insured id# is used for all claimants within the family.
You can also tie the claim# to a provider id#, some providers such as clinics and large hospitals have multiple providers that use the same provider id#, so a suffix code is used to separate the providers within that same #.
Please feel free to ask additional questions and I will give you the additional information you need to help me. Thanks again.
P.S. - Last year I created the database and this year I am improving it, so expect more posts from me in the future. I really appreciate all the help I get from everyone here!!!!

I have a simple data entry form based on a table. However I have a few fields that I do a lookup in a field on the form from a query, and yes I know I should not have a lookup in the control source however, this is the way that I will be doing it on this occasion.
=DLookUp("[Salary]","[Salary Query]")
How I get the value from this unbound field to enter into the actual field in the table. Do I bring the actual field into the form and hide, and do some sort of after update, as I have tried and it does not work.
I have called the unbound field with lookup "Salary Level Base" and the actual field in the table is "Salary Base".
I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?
I'm looking into storing query data in temp tables for my reports run better. From what I'm reading, it seems best to have the temp tables in a separate db, and to break the links to avoid bloating of the FE database. I'm unsure how to do this with VBA, especially since my temp database will be password protected. When do I break the link - when I close the FE database?
I'm designing a database in which the primary key is a combination of the first letter of first name, the first letter of last name and the date of birth.
I have a form which has a subform. For each record, I have to assign a user, which comes from a user table. Due to the large number of users I have created a user selection form, which is designed as a popup. This form has an option group to select department, which then filters a combo box for selection of a user. On clicking a user, the window closes and that username is inserted into the form.
Since this particular user form will be used in multiple locations, I was thinking of having a global variable, which is set when a field is clicked. i.e. a variable called nameSelect. When a user is being assigned in form A, the user field is clicked, nameSelect = 3.
I was then thinking of having within the user selection form coding a Select Case function which depending on the value of nameSelect assigned the selected user to the correct location.
I am writing an event procedure to check to see if a particular Project number exist in a recordset. I am trying to use the findfirst method and are having some problems. Here is my code.
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, ProjectNo As String, SqlStr As String, StrProjectNo As String
Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTrackingSheetFrm", dbOpenTable) StrProjectNo = Me![ProjectNumber] rs.FindFirst StrProjectNo
MsgBox " Project worksheet already opened by another user."
rs.Close End If End Sub
What this does is check to see if another user has a project open and if so doesnt allow that user to access that project. I am getting the following error when I execute the procedure on the findfirst Code line.
Runtime error 3251 Operation is not supported by this object type. Can someone take a look and see what I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
