hi,
If I just want to display a relationship between two tables or more with a form and a subform, and I don't want the users to edit/delete/add the data - just view it. What is the best way - queries, bound forms etc? I created a form with a subform, but then ran into problems because I don't want them to be updated, only viewed.
Thank you !!!
Hi
I have a table in sql holding telephone data. the starttime column and endtime column are both in "10/05/2006 12:55:56" format.
I want to run a parameter query that lets me search by agent name and then by date. The agent name is no problem but when running parameter query by date it brings back no data. I think this is because the time is also in the same field as the date. Ideally I would like to be able to run the query between certain dates, e.g. find data for agent1 between 2 different dates.
Any help would be more than appreciated!!
Thanks
Ben
I need to create a form to input records (or modify records) however im unaware of the methods that could be used to actually put the data into the tables..my current method is using:
Code:
Dim dbs as DAO.Database
Set dbs As CurrentDB
Dim InsertSQL As String
InsertSQL = "INSERT INTO [Table] (Columns) VALUES (Values)"
dbs.Execute InsertSQL
I am not sure if this is the most effecient or best or if it has issues that other methods or ways to use but doing this seems to do the trick.
Hello everyone. I'm a little new to the Access scene. I have a strong background in C, C++, Java, and assembly. Seems all the access books out there fail to mention the need to know vbs, heh.
Anyhow, I have a form ([WrkR]) based on a table ([ORDERS]) that has a customer's name ([Tables]![ORDERS]![name]), total payments to visa ([Tables]![ORDERS]![visa]), and total payments to cash ([Tables]![ORDERS]![cash]), and total payments to debit ([Tables]![ORDERS]![debit]). My form also has three rows, each containing a text box which holds how much a person has paid, and a combo box ([combo1], [combo2], [combo3]), that allows the user to choose what payment type was used. I have included a screen cap to demonstrate this.
I need to be able to create a function or macro, anything that will sum up the appropriate totals and store them in the corresponding columns in my table. Like in my example, there are 2 visa costs and a single cash cost that should be added up and stored in my table in the appropriate fields.
I was contacted today by a staffing agency and was told that I looked like a good fit for a Data Analyst position. The agency and wanted some more information about my resume and wanted me to email them my references. Next step I would assume would be an interview.
I did want to post the responsibilities of the job and see if other DBAs thought it looked like entry level work. The only thing I know about the company is that they are automotive and pay is under 40K. I have been trying to break into IT for the past few months and this looks like a great opportunity. :) I appreciate your comments.

I have a table that contains 4 columns: index (w/ auto generating number), timestamp, current user, and notes. The notes column is a Memo data type and is used to capture free-form notes typed into a text box.
I would like to display all notes typed by a specific user and do it in a single control, preferably a text box. This way someone can look back over time and review all the notes they typed / added to this table. Is it possible to display multiple rows from a table in a single text box or do I need to use a list box?
Hello Everyone
I am looking to build and Overtime tracking form and have been pondering on the design of it. Here is my idea and not sure how I should go about doing it (straight forms and tables or queries). I would like to select my employees in a combobox and have their information autofill the remaining fields and/or add new ones. Additionally have fields that I can input any overtime occurred which would be stored in a seperate table but displayed in a sub-form in datasheet view. These fields that were just filled out with the overtime information would clear everytime the add record button is hit.
I know that sounds like alot and sure I can muddle my way through that part of it, the big question I have is do I need a seperate table for every employees overtime? Or is there code/query that can select the records of the selected employee and display the information that pertains just to them?
Has anyone come across or posess a sample database similar to this? If not can someone point me in the right direction for example code and tutorials?
I look forward to hearing from everyone on this.
Thank You

Hi everyone,
Could someone please share their opinion with me on the following:
I have a database with a Table which stores People's details, e.g. ID, Name, Surname, ...., etc (e.g. tblPeople) .
Now I have people filling out a questionnaire, of which the results I want to save in an Access table. Each person will fill out this questionnaire only once. The number of fields I will need to accomodate the answers to questions asked, is around 120. For example, an answer to Question1 will appear in a field called Q1.
I know that the limit for fields in a table are 255, and my total fields in tblPeople so far are about 20.
Should I keep Q1 and all other fields in the same table as tblPeople, or create another table to hold all answers and create a one-to-one relationship between tblPeople and tblQuestions&Answers ?
Can someone give me a tip, in particular if this will cause performance problems?
I appreciate your effort for reading this.
Kind Regards,
Jean
I have attached a word doc showing my table relationships. I would like an opinion on as to whether it is normalized correctly. It is for a bowling league that has 10 teams and 50 bowlers. The team names, lane assignments will change every year and the bowlers will be on a different team from season to season.
Also the tblScores is set the way it is because some bowlers will show up late or injure themselves so because of the awards that are handed out at the end of the year for high scores, perfect attendance etc. this is how I thought it would work best.
I wanted to make sure before I put all the bells and whistles in. Thanks in advance.

I realize that this issue has likely been beaten to death in past threads; my recent participation in one brought this issue to light.
Can I get a general feeling from participants concerning the dangers involved in the practice of compacting and repairing databases on a server? I greatly respect the advice I get from these forums, and those who give it, however there seems to be some disagreement between people on this issue.
If there is a danger of loosing records, why does this occur? Are there versions of Access where these problems are solved? Do you think that frequency of use, or volume of data have anything to do with the risks?
Thank you all!

We have an ActiveX grid control, 10Tec iGrid, written in VB6. One of its method, Group, used to group rows, raises the AfterAutoGroupRowCreated event so the developer can adjust the look and contents of every group row created during the automatic process of grouping.
When our ActiveX grid is hosted on an MS Access form and we call the Group method while populating the grid in the form's Open event, the AfterAutoGroupRowCreated event isn't triggered. But this event definitely works as expected in other development environments, and even in MS Access if we call Group from the form's Load event.
Is it a well know issue of MS Access, when any events of ActiveX controls aren't triggered while "executing" the Open event
Folks I need your help; just wanted to get your opinions here.
I work in a small engineering group and we have lots of reference documents in word and excel which we typically use for any projects. Currently, all these files are stored in Lotus Notes database. Unfortunately, they are pulling the plug on Notes license starting this fall. Therefore, I have been asked to see if there is a way we can store these files in Access as a repository and query the database whenever we need some information.
In order to avoid the database size getting too big, my thought was to store the .xls/.doc files as an “OLE object” data type, keep the files in local hard drive and create a link in a form to give the user to retrieve the information.
Do any of you have any suggestion on what is the best way to handle this?
Your input is highly appreciated.
Shan.
