I have a table with 715K records. Each record is an inventory product, and the sixth field of each record is a short description. The tenth field is a single-letter category designation, and is currently blank. What I want to do is search through the description field of every line, and where the word "Paint" is contained, enter a letter "P" in the category field.
View RepliesI have a form where I select either "Male" or "Female" via tick box. If male is selected I would like it to automatically enter "he" in my table in another field so I can use this info in a Word template letter.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to provide the user a custom search feature. They want to enter a keyword or phrase and search 3 memo fields and filter the form base on the records found. they also want to be able to search the whole phrase or any part of the phrase.
I have a like expression for any part of the phrase but I when I set it up for whole phrase it doesn't work. Even if I run a simple query and use
For example: There's an acronym the user is looking for : ACA
If I set my query up like this: [field1] like "*ACA*" or [field2] like "*ACA*" or [field3] like "*ACA*"
it not only finds records with that acronym but it also finds records where that combination is found in a word, for instance vacate.
How can I set up my query to find the whole word?
I have a query called "Stock" containing field like (Item, Description, product_qty)
Another is a table called "Sales" with fields like (Sales_ID, Item, Sales_description, sales_Qty, date_Of_Sale) Item field on sales is a foreign key.
Now what i want is how can i make when the user enters new record, in field "Sales_Qty" the data entered here to be less than product_Qty.
NB; this is because you can not sell more than what you have.
Hi all, firstly please forgive me if i'm a little slow, i haven't done any access work for a year or so and i'm a bit rusty :o
Basically i have a customer database which holds customer details and orders. It's been created and working fine for a couple of years, but i recently found something that i'm having trouble with. tblCustomers holds most of the data and links to other tables such as tblCustomerPostCode/tblCustomerEmail with the primay key CustomerNumber. I put certain data such as these in other tables because i was taught to not include fields with lots of blanks and these wouldn't necessarily always have data. The relationships table is attached - relationships.jpg
I also have a main table for customer orders - tblCustomerPurchases which holds data such as date of purchase and purchase cost. This has a primary key field called PurchaseNumber, and links to tblCustomers with a CustomerNumber field. This meant i could have many purchases for one customer, etc.
Everything has worked great as i said and i have many forms, reports etc with no problems, and the problem i have hasn't shown itself until now.
If i have a query with tblCustomers and all the relevant other tables linked to it, all fields work perfectly and i can add, edit etc whatever data i need to. See qselcustdetails.jpg attached.
The moment i add the tblCustomerPurchases or anything that uses it to the query however, i can no longer add data to some of the fields such as tblCustomerPostcode, tblCustomerArea, tblCustomerEmail etc. If there is data in the field already then i can change it, but not add new data. See qselcustdet&purchase.jpg attached.
I believe it must be to do with the fact that tblCustomerPurchases uses the CustomerNumber field as well? And it then doesn't allow tables such as tblCustomerPostcode to create new data? But i can't understand why. Like i said i'm a little rusty and i can't figure it out at the mo :confused::rolleyes:
Also, can anyone tell me any suggestions for the easiest way of fixing it? The database already has 5000 customers and plenty of forms, reports etc.
Many thanks in advance :D
Can anyone tell me if the following is possible in a table or do I need to use a form.
I have a check box in a table that when I check it I want it to automatically enter the current date. I also don't want to change the dates that have already been entered manually and that date should only display the date on which the check box was checked. :confused:
It is a database that hold the details of IT equipment and when it is disposed.
I think I may have to use a form but I would like someone to confirm this if it is possible to do in the table could someone also help me implement it.
Thanks in advance
I have a combo box with a list of statuses. When I change the status to "closed" I want the "closed date" field to be populated with the current date and time. How do I accomplish this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a newbie at Access. I have uploaded an Access 2013 file and an Excel 2013 file to show what I am trying to do.
(I also incorrectly uploaded this question under QUERIES - since marked there as 'Solved")
The Access tables that I have created are meant to mirror the individual fields on the Excel spreadsheet.
On the Excel spreadsheet, I would enter data in the rows as the data becomes available.
The Access file contains the excel fields as tables. Some of the table fields consist of only one field and others have many fields.
I have created Primary Keys in all the tables. But I don't understand the process well at this point in time.
I need to know how to create proper relationships, and then, to create a query or a form to enter new data as it becomes available so that I can keep adding rows of data (query to enter and update data) and subsequently run queries to analyze the data
Need to create the correct relationships and a query that lets me update all the data for new cases, as an individual row (like on an excel spreadsheet) .

I have a login form which works fine. However, at the moment the user needs to type in username and password and then manually click on a 'log in' button. What I would like to happen is that if the user presses enter on the keyboard it will run the same macro as the log in button but without have to click on it?
I have got a a form storing all employee's information and on that form I have a lookup field which looks up all the records in the "Qualification table" and the user can select multple qualifications. What I want to add to the lookup field is a data box so you can select a qualification and then enter the date that it expires (different for expiry date for each employee) How do I do this?
I have added the date field to the qualification table but when I create the lookup field on the form it shows the qualifications and a blank column next to it which data can't be enteed into.
I'm strugling with transferring data from access to word template.
1. transferring single data fields works okay, with bookmarks etc.
2. transferring multiple records (e.g. orderlines) to a WORD template fails. The # of multiple records are variable. So could not be defined upfront how may records i have to transfer.
I tried to transfer the data in a word table both with bookmarks and with merge fields. The result was that all data was placed in de first cell of the table in WORD.Setting up de WORD template combining with the VBA code.
See VBA code:
Private Sub Knop17_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_knop17_Click
Dim sreportname As String
Dim scurrentdir As String
Dim stemplatedir As String
Dim stemplatename As String
Dim ObjWord As Word.Application
Dim ObjDoc As Word.Document
Dim bm As Object

View 4 Replies View RelatedI think I have just finished designing my database and I tried to test it and I couldn't enter any new records as it says "Can't enter data into blank field on "one" side of outer join" whenever I try and enter info and I don't know much SQL to work out what has happened. It probably causes this too but I also cannot select check boxes.

Hi,
how do i get the current record form access 2003 to merge the data into word 2003 template that I created.
The code I'm using is :-
Private Sub Command313_Click()
Dim oApp As Object
Dim doc As Object
Dim strDocName As String
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
strDocName = "K:Supported Living ServicesdatabaseDB-Personnel.dot"
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Open(strDocName)
doc.FormFields("Title").Result = Forms!Personal!Title
doc.FormFields("fristname").Result = Forms!Personal!firstname
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Add(strDocName)
End Sub
I'm using 2 fields here but will be adding a lot more once I got it working.
Thanks inadvance

Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble with our receiving database. This database consists of two tables. One for vendors, which basically contains their vendor ID as well as vendor name and phone # etc. The other table is our receiving data table. When our receiving person receives product in, they log this in the receiving table including info such as date, autonumber for record, vendor etc. The problem is, when the person selects the vendor id, which is set up as a lookup field, we would like to have the vendor name pop up atuomatically within that record. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this isn't happening. The person is using a form to enter all of this data and runs a summary report at the end of the day. Our accounting dept. is requesting this info be added, but I cannot seem to figure it out.
Thanks so much for any assistance!

I have a form (Access 2010) that we use to keep track of client data. When I enter a number equal to 6 or above in one field (Client Rating and this field is actually formatted as text because it could be 6 or 6a, b, c or 7 or 7a, b, c, etc), I want anything =>6 to automatically check a box in another field which is the Watch Indicator box (a yes/no box), how would I do this?
I tried to create an expression like the below on the Watch Indicator check box and it does not work - not sure why - it did not say it was incorrect, I think I may have it in the wrong place?
I used "After Update" on the Yes/No Box
=IIf([R Rating]<=6,Yes,No)

For keeping record of provient fund, I have made a access/(or excel) database with many fields like ID, Name,contribution for months eg March, April,..to..,Feb,etc.It contains 50 records.
Now I have to print the provident fund statements of my 50 friends. This statement consists of some text language and some data(It is a word form letter document).The statement also shows some data which has to be calculated from the data of database eg grand total, cumulative total, interests etc.
Now I want to print the statement for all or selected no of people. What I want is to make the statement proforma in another excel sheet and then merge and print the statements for selected no of persons eg for ID 1 to 20, 50 to 70 etc. I do not want to make statement in MS word and do not want to merge it there, but I want to do it in excel just as we do in MS word mail merge.
Pl help me how can I do it in access/Excel? Can i calculate in word or should I calculate before hand in access before merging data?
Hi All,
I have an MS Access table that currently links into word as a mail merge. Great!
Sample data as follows:
Tutor Student
Mr A Donald Duck
Mr A Mickey Mouse
Mr A Minnie Mouse
Mrs B Joe Bloggs
I want to produce a mail document that allows me to address each tutor separately, along with the respective student names in a grid.
Now I've setup the document, but when I view each document it produces the list of all students for each tutor.
e.g.
Dear Mr A
Your students are:
Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
-------------------
Dear Mrs B
Your Students are:
Joe Bloggs
Is this at all possible?
Thanks:)
