Building A New Table As A Mailing List
Nov 29, 2006
:( Hi Guys,
I have a very basic DB of customers names and addresses. What I want to do is find all the enquiries within the months of August, September and October, send all these enquiries to a new table so that I can use this new table for a mailshot.
The date of the incoming enquiry is in a field on it own and written as dd/mm/2006.
If there is an easy way to create a mailing list from the original table please let me know.
Best Regards

I've been trying to figure this out, but it looks like a no go.
I wanted to give my users the ability to create/modify queries, but NOT create/modify tables.
Does anyone know if this is possible in Access 2002?
Thanks,
Earl

Hi All,
I have attached a DB that I am trying to create for my small business. Every month we have renewals of the client’s yearly contracts. I have created a form called frmRenewells, on this form you need to select a month and a year (please choose October 2006) this then runs query qryRenewell. The query then opens form frmRenewellSheet with the results. This works fine, but I really need the following to happen:
Open form frmRenewells and enter month & year, on clicking the enter button it launches a word template I have created and automatically pulls all the fields required into the word document. I can then press print and it will print a document for each client in the query.
I am unable to go into word and just open the query as it has * or wildcards in it. Therefore word will not allow me to select the query.
I have attached the Word doc as well
Thanks in advance,
Danian

I am trying to create a mailing list of patients. Let's say I am creating a mailing list for February. I need the mailing list to consist of people who have had surgery in February from the beginning of the database, and people who have had surgery three months ago, so anyone who had surgery in November. I have created a form that has a button which is connected to a query, the form has a unbound textbox where I can enter the month in (2 for February). Then the query uses the datepart function to search for this month in their date of surgery. But this only gives me people for surgeries with february, how would I get people who have had surgery three months ago in the same query.

Hi,
I am hoping this is the right place to find some help.
I have just started access (2003) and i am trying to build a list.
Let me explain.
I have a table that contains
cartcode, description, price
and another containing
manufacturer, model
I then created a new table that links these tables together so that if i click the little + next to a cartcode i can see a list of models linked with that cartridge.
What i want to do though is create a query/table/anything that will create me a list of cartridges and then in the second column a list, hopefully seperated by a comma or all the printers models related to that cartridge.
I hope that makes sence.
So my question is how do i create the list which included related printers?
Thank you

Hi
I am really at the end of my teather with this problem so i really hope someone here can find a solution.
I have 2 tables; Client (Client general info, defined by their location), ClientHardware (Info on the hardware a client has and also it's condition).
I need to be able to select one or more clients and display one or more conditions of their hardware, e.g. London, York, Bury + Red, Amber, Green condition.
After the Query is working right i will need to output it to a report through a button on the form.
I attempted adapting This Method (http://www.databasedev.co.uk/query_using_listbox.html) but adding another list and query just resulted in the report showing the all the records of the selected client (e.g. london) then all the records with the selected condition (e.g. bad) it would be ok if i could merge the list box selections into one query but right now it looks like this
MyDB.QueryDefs.Delete "qry ClientName"
Set qdef = MyDB.CreateQueryDef("qry ClientName", strSQL)
MyDB.QueryDefs.Delete "qry RAGType"
Set qdef = MyDB.CreateQueryDef("qry ClientName", strSQL2)
Is it possible to put the variables in strSQL2 into the creation of qry ClientName somehow?
Any help, large or small will be appreciated as I'm really at a dead end with this.
Regards
Phil

I have a table that contains a lot of different information regarding to mailing.
There are columns for Name, Address, Address2, Address 3, City, State, Zip, Country, Base Name, etc.
Some units will only required parts of the above information. I'm using the Name as an identifier in the DB only and Address is the beginning of content that I want to use.
My issue stems out of the fact that the City, State, and Country are not always required but the Base Name, may be used in lieu of the City.
I was looking at making checkboxes next to each of the columns on the form on the field and then using those checkboxes somehow to create a report for Mailing Labels.
I'm just not sure how to set this up.

I am trying to construct a query to extract mailing addresses from a table. I have individuals entered into a table (a separate record for each person) but if they are married I want an address such as Mr and Mrs J. Doe so that only one address label is printed off so that only one letter is sent out. If one of them dies then the address should only go to the surviving party eg Mrs J.

Hello.
I'm building a history table to keep track of some changes that occur on one of my forms.
Here is what I'm using to build my history table:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblDateCycleTestingChanges", dbOpenDynaset)
With rs
.AddNew
![CycleTestingDatesID] = Me.CycleTestingDatesID.Value
![Changed] = Now()
![ClientID] = Me.ClientID.Value
![ProjectID] = Me.ProjectID.Value
![TaskID] = Me.TaskID.Value
![TaskStartDt] = Me.TaskStartDt.Value
![TaskEndDt] = Me.TaskEndDt.Value
.Update
End With
Set rs = Nothing
End If
I have 2 questions:
1. I'm not sure where to insert this event. I'm thinking on Before_Update on the updated field? (I don't want to put it into Before_Update for a form event as I have other things that are being filled out/changed and I only want to keep track if certain fields on the forms are updated/changed.
2. I would also like to keep track of Old and New values for those specific fields. Is that at all possible?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to make a query from fields out of 3 tables.
All tables must include following fields:
Table 1 fields:
WR04 (year 2004)
Date
Reporting Person
Table 2 fields:
WR05
Date
Reporting Person
Table 3 fields:
WR06
Date
Reporting Person
I am trying to pull together in the query any given individual (Reporting Person) who may be included in all above tables but believe I may have a relationship problem as I am only getting results that match all tables.
I hope this is clear.
Any suggestions please.

i have two tables that only need to exist for the length of the user's session. i build them with ADOX in my backend database when the user starts up, and destroy them with ADOX when the user closes the application. the name of the table created varies, too, depending on the user (userID is built into table name).
i need combo boxes on my forms in the front end to be able to access this data.
is there a way in code, once the temp tables are built, to create a 'link tables' type of setup?
my alternative is to build the temp tables in the front end portion, but i don't really want to do that.....

I have a table that lists county names. On the data entry form only the county names are displayed. However, I have another form that is used to build a custom query based on various criteria, of which county is one.
To make the table compatible with both both forms, the data source for the dropdown list for data entry is: Select * FROM county WHERE county <> "No Selection"
For the SQL form the code is simply: Select * FROM county The default value of the dropdown list is "No Selection". When dropdown list for county is set to "No Selection" the program interprets it as "select all counties". Other dropdown lists provide other parameters such as the project year, nature of the project etc. Each of these other dropdown lists also have a default value of "No Selection". The SQL form thus gives me the ability to mix and match several criteria. For example, it will display all projects in a particular year for a particular county or all projects in all counties that involve the construction of a residence.
My question, instead of physically having the string "No Selection" in the table itself, is there a way to embed the phrase "No Selection" in the SQL expression itself and still have it as an option on the dropdown list?

I'm making a library database program thing... There's an option for the user to view all books on loan.
I have two tables:
Books, which has columns ID*, ISBN, Author, Title, Year, Location
BorrowerStorage, which has columns Book ID, Name, Email Address, Desk Number
Book ID in BorrowerStorage is related to the Books primary key.
Now, for the viewing all books on loan, I want it to produce a read only table which contains all the entries from the BorrowerStorage table and the corresponding Title/Author columns (i.e. the records for which the ID in Books column = BookID in Borrower Storage column)...

Thought I posted this once before, now can't find it -- so I apologize if it turns out to be a duplicate posting.
Anyway...Figured out how to design a table then extract the info I wanted via a query. Last thing I simply cannot figure out is how to get the query exported onto mailing labels.
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share their time and expertise to assist me in this last step.

Is it possible to change the format of the mailing labels once the report has been created? I have one that has 24 labels on it, but I need for it to have 30.
Also I can't remember how I created it in the first place. What steps do I need to go through to make a new report?

Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details
Field name = ID (auto-generated)
Field name = FirstName (text)
Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter

Hi
I have created a report for labels using the Label Wizard, and found the code on the MS KB about skipping the labels that have already been used, and printing on the next one along.
Page on MS KB (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299024)
When I try using this code in Access 2003 however, it seems to go into some sort of loop, and produces 100+ pages for the report when I try and skip 1 label for example.
Can anyone help me get this working for 2003?
Here's my module code, same as on the site above:
'************************************************* ********
'Declarations section of the module.
'************************************************* ********
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim LabelBlanks&
Dim LabelCopies&
Dim BlankCount&
DimCopyCount&
'================================================= ========
' The following function will cause an input box to
' display when the report is run that prompts the user
' for the number of used labels to skip and how many
' copies of each label should be printed.
'================================================= ========
Function LabelSetup()
LabelBlanks& = Val(InputBox$("Enter number of used labels to skip"))
LabelCopies& = Val(InputBox$("Enter number of copies to print"))
If LabelBlanks& < 0 Then
LabelBlanks& = 0
If LabelCopies& < 1 Then
LabelCopies& = 1
End Function
'================================================= ========
' The following function sets the variables to a zero
'================================================= ========
Function LabelInitialize()
BlankCount& = 0
CopyCount& = 0
End Function
'================================================= ========
' The following function is the main part of this code
' that allows the labels to print as the user desires.
'================================================= ========
Function LabelLayout(R As Report)
If BlankCount& < LabelBlanks& Then
R.NextRecord = False
R.PrintSection = False
BlankCount& = BlankCount& + 1
Else
If CopyCount& < (LabelCopies& - 1) Then
R.NextRecord = False
CopyCount& = CopyCount& + 1
Else
CopyCount& = 0
End If
End If
End Function

Hi, all!!
I need to generate 1 email with 3 attachments from an Access Db. These attachments are canned reports that are generated each week with fresh data.
I've done several searches and found a lot of good information here. Based on what I've read, I decided to output the 3 reports to a folder in My Documents and then automate Outlook to send the message.
I've used the output function to create the 3 files. No Problem, works well.
Then I found this code for automating Outlook. (Pasted below)
I can get it to work (following either step 7 or step 8 below) but only if I include the attachment path in the SendMessage command.
Assuming the full paths are:
C:My DocumentsReport1.snp
C:My DocumentsReport2.snp
C:My DocumentsReport3.snp
how do I modify the code to automatically attach all 3 files?
Any ideas?
As always, thanks for taking the time to help,
BeckieO
Sub SendMessage(Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
' Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Henny Penny")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Lucky Ducky")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = "This is an Automation test with Microsoft Outlook"
.Body = "Last test - I promise." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance
' Add attachments to the message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)
End If
' Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then
objOutlookMsg.Display
End If
Next
.Send
End With
Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
7. To test this procedure, type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER: SendMessage "C:My DocumentsCustomers.txt"
8. To send the message without specifying an attachment, omit the argument when calling the procedure, as follows:SendMessage

I have a database of customers for which I want to print address labels depending on what group I have entered them in. There are about 30 different groups that they could be a member of. I have entered them in to groups by using "yes/no" fields on the customer table to indicate who is a member of which set. My problem is that I know how to indentify which group is required using sql
eg select surname,address from table where GP
where GP is one of the possible groups. I cannot however see a way of selecting the group variable from a form and entering into a query, so that I can print the required label set.
Can anyone please advise me on this or point point me in the direction of an example. I tried using a combo box on form but could not get it to pass the parameter correctly. Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Peter

I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

I have a database for clients and have set up a form and code to run a query for different types of clients and to send emails to the group.
Everything works fine until I try to send and then I get a Microsoft Outlook pop-up which states:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No."
This message stays for 5 seconds and then I can click on "YES" and it will send the email, and start all over for the next recipient.
I am assuming this is an Outlook Spam Blocker, but is there any way to stop it?
Thanks

I am preparing mailing label for a political campaign. On my list of voters, many times two or more people are listed at a single address. By consolidating the labels (and postage) I am able to save a lot of money.
I have written a query to group these names into those with 1,2, or 3 or more/address. For labels I am able to print 2 names/label by using the FirstOfFirstname, FirstOfLastname, LastOfFirstName, LastOfLastName generated in my query. This works fine for 2 names per label.
My question concerns 3 names per label. Does anyone know how to include all 3 names? Suggestions have included using a label with "The {LastName} Family" etc. but many times there is more than one last name per residence. Other suggestions are to print individual labels for each individual and overlap the labels to show all the names but just one address. These does save postage of $.42/mailing, but seems wasteful of labels and looks a little crude besides.
What I think I need is a clever query or queries that will be the data source for the labels. I have room for up to 3 names/label. I have been thinking about printing 2 labels -- one with one name and address and another with the rest of the names but this brings up problems of getting everything on the right envelope.

Hi--I have a contact database, and would like to be able to have a command button on the form for each contact to print one individual mailing label for that particular contact, preferably in a user-specified row/column on a page of Avery 6245 labels. Am realizing that this is a major hassle in Access but would like to do it within Access (why is it so easy to print huge lists of labels but so hard to print just one??). Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty good at writing queries and reports in Access but a rank newbie at the underlying SQL and VBA so need major handholding if that's involved (and I know it is ). Thanks.

Hi all,I've been struggling with this for a few hours... I sure hope that the solution to my problem is complicated so I don't feel really dumb!I'm trying to design a database to eliminate the HOURS that my mom spends trying to format mailing labels in Word. She deals with about 50 clients at a time, and sometimes needs to print labels for just a selection of them, but not all. I'd like to design a form where she can select (using an option button or similar) the clients for whom she wants to print a label, and print them all at the same time (rather than printing one at a time, which I can handle on my own). Creating mailing labels will be the only function of the db so the info stored in it will be relatively simple.I have the Northwinds db installed, and I've found the sample Macro controlling the Where condition for the labels report. I understand how to make it work for a single selection from a combo box (ie: only print labels for customers from a specific country)I have my report set up so it shows a label for each client, pulling data directly from the main table. No troubles with formatting. **knocks on wood**My problems:1. I searched this site and found a link to the MS KB file that outlines how to print multiples of one label or skip used labels before starting to print (Q95806 - "How to Skip Used Mailing Labels and Print Duplicates"). I'd like to use this, but can't make it work.2. I can't figure out how to "link" the option button to the client name as it's listed in the form, and then tell the report to only print labels for the selected clients.I have very little coding experience but I can make some simple code work and am OK at customizing pre-written code to my own needs if it's well commented, so VB isn't entirely out as an option.I have a possible solution in mind that involves creating a query that makes a new table with only the selected clients, which is then used to make the labels report. I think I could make that work if I could just figure out how to select the clients in the first place.I apologize in advance if this has been taken care of elsewhere. I tried to find it, but had trouble coming up with the right search string!Thanks in advance,~ Mel ~p.s. I'm using Access 2000.
