Just a short introduction. I am rather new to this forum and also a beginner to Access development. I am currently working on developing a database for CRM purposes for an organisation.
I have created a form for ease of viewing and inputting data. However, the problem I am encountering is that some of the fields does not allow me to add new entries. All the data seems to be drawn from the right sources and any changes made to the existing data is reflected in the underlying tables but it just doesnt allow me to add new data for some fields.
I have attached a compressed version of the database and I would very much appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance on this issue.
Go to Forms (tabbed)
Fields where data cannot be inputted :
Relationship Info - Service, Relationship Info
Meeting Info - All fields
Client Info - RelationshipNum
Fields where you can input data
All the rest are working fine
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10 1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I have an input form that has many fields, how do I go about fragmenting the data collection.
I thought I might group related data fileds together ie personal details, contact details and have a separate form for each data grouping or one form and make the fields invisible after they are filled in and then make the new data group fileds visible ie overlaying them so it appears to be a new form. I am not sure and would appreciate guidance.
I have a form control with the input mask on it for a phone number. I am using an append query to append the information entered in the form to a table. I need to pull two fields from a linked table from another database. What I need to do is be able to compare the entered phone number in the form with the phone number from the table. The problem I am running into is that it won't match the phone numbers. The same mask is used in the table I am pulling from. Why can I not just put =[Table].[Phone_No] in the Criteria of the field where the number from the form is placed so that I can get the right record from the linked table?
Hello, I have 4 input field boxes in a form: "basic hours", "overtime hours", "holiday hours" and "total hours" i would like it so that when the user enters number(s) into the other field(s) the total field will calculate (add togther the other fields). So for example if the user puts "10" in the "basic hours" input field and "5" in the overtime hours" field then the "toal field" will display the number "15". i would like it so that the "total hours" field calculates the total progressively after each number in the other fields is input (ie a running total is displayed). The user will always fill in basic hours but 1 or more of the other fields can be left blank. I think i need to do some VB on the after update procedure for each field entry but not sure what the code is?, any help would be brilliant.
Good day... beginner Access user (converting from Lotus Approach) and need some help please. Please excuse my novice... I'm on a deadline at work and need help:
-- Data source: MS Excel Table
-- Database form: MS Access 2003
My form is using the excel table as its data source. There are two fields: TELEPHONE AND FAX
When I try to use the input mask in Access to view the numbers in TELEPHONE FORMAT, it keeps telling me the input mask works only on text or date fields. Do I have to first modify the field format in excel? What does this error mean?
Firstly, thanks to everyone for help so far. My first access project in a proffessional environment has been successful and mostly down to the people who have helped me here. I know i didnt really do it all myself but i have learned things that will hopefully serve me well going forward!
Secondly, i apologise for the ambiguously titled thread, i'll explain what i mean.
Basically i have my form that looks like the below
What i'm trying to do, is make the questions below ("Risk in Authority" and "If Not, Risk Referred?") hidden, unless the answer to "Are All Policies Acceptable?" is No.
I have managed to make it happen, but it's far from perfect. As below:
I'd set the value for Visible to No in the properties for every object in the Questions (the pretty boxes are all named things like Box123 and Label 53, all set to hidden). Then i set the "On Click" event of the No in "Are All Policies Acceptable" (called Option168) to
This works ok, but if you click on the same option twice it reverses the action.
Is there a more effective way of doing this? maybe through Validation?
Thanks for any help once again. (I've also recommended this board to a couple of guys in the office who are already proficient with Access and SQL who can hopefully contribute to the community )
Edit: As an Addendum - this formattign should only apply to one record at a time. So if the question are visible on record 1, they could still be hidden on record 2. If that's even possible.
On my form I have in a TAB form 3 fields to input a figure, in the table these are set up as a Text NOT a Number. If i set it as a Number it keeps rounding up? even after i enforce 2 decimal places it still keeps rounding up.
Field 1 - 42988.62 Field 2 - 0.00 Field 3 - -14330.84
I then created a unbound txtbox so I can add these up
=[ResBF]+[ResRefReC]+[ResSurDef]
what i get in return is this :- 42988.620.00-14330.84
I also tried =Sum([ResBF]+[ResRefReC]+[ResSurDef])
and that just comes up with #Error
I even tried in the table directly to have a calculated field and still having the same problems.
I want to input data number such as 0.5 in my table, but it doesn't work. I already fill field size : integer with format : Standard with Decimal : 2, but the result is always 0.00 not 0.50 as my expectation. How to define that in my table?
I have a query with the fields employee_name, shiftname, shiftdate and have set it up so that 2 input messages boxes popup allowing the user to input a shiftname (a,b,c) then a shiftdate. from this query i have created a form, but instead of having 2 message boxes popup on screen before the form is loaded is it possible to have 2 input fields on the form (one for shift date & one for shiftname) that allows the user to enter into these fileds whenever they wish provided the form is open and all the records bellow change matching the employee name with the corresponding shiftname & date?, any advice would be great.
I run a charity pre-school and have invoices to send out. Some of the parents cant afford to pay the whole amount in one go, so we give them a payment plan. e.g. If an invoice is for a 6 week term we let them pay weekly. So I have a check box on my form to say "are you on a payment plan".
Then - I have an free form input box..."How many payments..." and the answer may for instance be '6'.
What I want to do now is dynamically create/display 6 date fields, to record what the agreed payment dates are.
but maybe the answer is 4, or 7, etc. So I need to create/display the correct number of payment date fields.
I am using Access 2007 and have reviewed many blogs and looked at the Northwind db to try to solve this problem. I would like to create a form that functions in the same manner as the "Order Details" form in the Northwind db. Specifically, I want to create a form that will allow me to input a value and have the form get data from another table and populate the table I need populated.
I would like to populate a table "Outside", field names are Key, Name, term, Value, Date.
The table that contains the data is named "CV" and the filed names are Key, Name.
In the form, I would like to enter a value for Key into a combo box, and have it put the value for Key and for Name into the form, and allow me to enter whatever I want to in the Term, Value and Date field. When I tab out, I would like all this data to be in the table "Outside.
I have a table, at the table I'v got these fields:
ID | num1 | num2 | sum
I want that the user put numbers at 'num1' and 'num2' fields and then the 'sum' field will calculate automatically the operator (sum=num1+num2).
I've tried to put any combination at 'Default value' of the sum field (all the fields are numbers , also tried to change the sum field to text...nothing works).
I'm getting a message that 'num1' field is not recognize at the table
(I tried =[num1]+[num2], without the '=', num1.table+num2.table , ...nothing works)
I also tried to do it with SQL command but it dosn't work.
There is any way to do it, is it possible? Or other way to do it at least at Form or at Report ?
Can anyone please advise how I may be able to achieve the following?
The database in question is used to store info about members of a radio control model flying club.
I have a table (members) containing member’s personal details – names, addresses etc and a second table (club_membership) containing membership info in the Fields – year, membership_cat, insurance_cat. Each member has a record in the second table for each year they have been a member.
To simplify the renewal process (typically most members renew at the same time at our AGM) I would like to use a form which lists all members names with a check box (renew) which is checked if the member renews his/her membership. For every member checked I would like to automatically create a new record in the club_membership table for the next membership year (2007) by copying over values for the fields membership_cat and insurance_cat from their record for the previous year.
I have an append query that I input a 14-digit PIN number and it populates the PIN field (works fine). In addition populating the PIN field, I also want it to populate the ParID field. However, the ParID field only needs 9-digits (excludes the first 3 and the last 2 - i.e. xxx123456789xx). Is there a way my append query can handle such?
In my data input form I have several boxes. In one case i wish to allow data to be input if a certain box is marked. that mark will allow any of six boxes to be checked. This works for me. However, in the event that the certain original box is marked in error, how do I allow the box to be unmarked and make the six other boxes closed to input?
such as: (box) do it (box) one (box) two (box) three
box do it is marked. It allows any of 1,2,3 to be chosen. Box do it is marked in error and reclicked to blank. Boxes 1,2,3 need to close up so they cannot be marked. How do I get them to close up?
I have developed an access database whereby multi users are using via front end application. I have split the database into back end and front end.
Problem is each time i make a change to the front end, I have to go to each pc to update. Apart from this, any other programmer can easily see all my workings and can copy my database.
I want an option whereby when i make any changes to the front end, then the user will get the change upon the next login. I was thinking of using the front end over the local intranet web browser. will have one front end and all users will be connected to that. any changes i make will be on that front end and they will see the change upon next login.
My other problem is that I do not want the front end to be stored at the user's end as any programmer can access my tables, forms, queries, reports, macros even if i disabled the navigation option.
I have excel spreasheet that have dates on them. But the dates are formatted as general so they are really only numbers to Access when I link the spreadsheet to a table. I was hoping that I could create an input mask that would make Access recognize that the numer 20070912 is really September 12, 2007. I can't change the structure of the spreadsheet because the data comes from a data service. :mad: But maybe I can translate this number into a date in Access? Can you geniuses help me create either an input mask or some process besides using:
to change the number into a date? I was hoping that I could just create an input mask yyyymmdd and then Access would recognize it as a date, but it seems more complicated than this. I need to use the date() function for further analysis so it has to recognize the number as an actual date. Thanks for your help.:)
I have a query which is pulling its data from a form, which in turn is pulling data from a table. When I select 0.82 on my form, my query runs fine. But when I select 0.826856 from my form the query does not return any result.
0.826856 is available in the table and the pull down list in the form. The data format for all my table, form and query is General and decimal places is set to 8.
Could you plz tell me why I am not able to run the query using 0.826856 ????
