I don't not have much experience with data bases. I made a simple form for service calls with a drop down box for our "Customer" field. I edit the Customer drop down list as I enter new calls. I can no longer add new customers. Is there a limit set somewhere? Or maybe I mistakenly enabled some kind of protection?
View RepliesThere are 3 drop down button that should filter category of items in a database:
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Whatever users choose in category 1, it will filter the items in Category 2. whatever users choose in category 2, it will filter the items in category 3. users can choose 1 to 2 categories or sometimes the 3 categories. the items will show in a subform. the subform are getting the items from a query. the dropdown button gets its value from a Table.
My challenge is that, i want to get the number of items in Category 1 once users chose it. if they choose something in Category 2 the number of items will change also. there will be 3 textbox for Category 1 COUNT, Category 2 COUNT, and Category 3 COUNT.
as of now, what im getting is only the filtering of Category 1 and Category 1 COUNT.
I created a database for my parents last summer and it has worked perfectly for a year now, then all of a sudden when they try to add an entry to the database its saying that it can't because it will create a new field.
Turns out my parents have added 45000 entries and it has just randomly reset the autonumber and is trying to add new entries at 25000, now my parents company is in a gridlock till I can figure out what the heck access did!
The autonumber is only used when I need update or delete entries.
If I compact and repair would that fix it?

Access 2000
Hi !
I use access 2000 (french) and runtime access 2000 (english) on XP.
After upgrading workstations with last microsoft security patchs, the use of left, mid or right functions in queries doesn't work anymore.
We know now that the patch acted on MDAC, is it the answer?
I don't know how to make it work.
If you have any idea, it would be great.

I'm trying to run an update query to trim a field to the first 8 characters.
I've used this in the past, but now it wont work. I'm stumped.
Left(Trim([IMIE_MSISDN_IMSI]![IMEI]),8)
Now when I try the records remain unchanged, i.e. 13 characters.
Any ideas?
Up until yesterday afternoon, I was having no trouble adding a command button, but then all of a sudden I was unable to do this.
I'm in the design view of a form, and then using the toolbox, I add a command button. The square button appears on the form, but the dialogue box that walks me through what I want it to do no longer does.
Any suggestions?
I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F
and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000
B=3000
C=3000
D=3000
F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
Is there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drop box that has four selections from a table (NORTH, EAST,SOUTH or WEST) I also have a another table that has two fields which is a NAME of a person and either NORTH, EAST,SOUTH,WEST depending on the persons name. What I need to happen (within a form) is that when I select NORTH from a drop down box, I can then select names in another drop down box that correspond to NORTH only. Then only names from the South list if I select SOUTH etc
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Thanks in Advance!

I've made a button on my form which adds a booking ID into the listbox, but it doesn't seem to work. This is my code:
Private Sub Command18_Click()
Dim BoI As String
MsgBox "Booking successfully added!", vbInformation, "Booking"
If Month(Me.Date_1) = 1 Then
ListJ.AddItem Me.BoI
ElseIf Month(Me.Date_1) = 2 Then
ListF.AddItem Me.BoI
End If
End Sub
If someone could tell me the problem, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. :)
How can I increase the number of items on a Switchboard?
When I change the code, "conNumButtons = 8" to 20, an errors says only 8 items are allowed on a switchboard page.
When I select debug, the VB opens and the following line is highlighted yellow: "Me("Option" & intOption).Visible = False"
Do I need to change this line, or delete? to accommodate more items on a switchboard page, or am I stuck with only 8 items?
Thanks.
MsgBox "Booking successfully added!", vbInformation
'Depending on which month is booked, will determine which listbox is goes in on frmMain
If Month(Me.Date_1) = 1 Then
Forms!frmCurrentBookings!ListJ.AddItem = Me.BoI 'Add to ListJ on
frmCurrentBookings
ElseIf Month(Me.Date_1) = 2 Then
Forms!frmCurrentBookings!ListF.AddItem = Me.BoI 'Add to ListF on frmCurrentBookings
End If
End Sub
So basically... I have a date field in the form 'frmAddBooking'... if the month of the date is 1 (January), then the conntents of the date field is added to a listbox in a different form (frmCurrentBookings)... but this doesn't work...
If somebody could help me I'd appreciate it greatly.
I've been running into this problem in Access. I have records which have more than 255 fields. The easiest solution would have been to get a table with more than 255 fields, but I can't do this, so I've had to split up the tables. The next easiest solution would be if there is a way to link the tables--I have a data field "IntAccNum" identified as the primary key in each table--so that when a new row is formed in one, it is formed in the others. This wouldn't waste space, since any row in the first table would necessarily need a corresponding row in other tables. Is there a way to do this?
If not...
The problem I run into is when I populate a row in the demographic table and then try to fill a corresponding row in another table. I use a command button to for a macro to "OpenForm", and then try to "SetValue" of the appropriate field in the second table. This adds a new row in the second table. This does let me populate the correct row of the second table the first time I try for each row. However, after this initial population, when I switch back and forth between the first and second table, I get an error in access since obviously I can't keep adding a primary key with the same value in the second table.
Do I need to do some sort of query to see if that row exists in the second table already. Or is there some simple solution to what must be a very common situation that I am overlooking?
Up until recently, when I selected multiple objects in design view (on a form) and right-clicked the mouse, I had several options in the 'Size' sub-menu (including 'Size to Widest / Tallest / Narrowest / Shortest').
Then I tried to be clever(!) and create a new custom toolbar which had just these options on it, as I use them frequently. This was all very well until now, when I can't find the custom toolbar I created, and the options have disappeared from the Size submenu aswell!
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get them back??
(I have tried going into Customize to drag them back, but they're not there either! :( )

Hi Folks,
I have created a switchboard that has 8 more sub switchboards. They have got items from 1 to 8. My database is setup with users and their authorised access levels. Admin has level 1, Manager level 2, Users Level3. Now what i want is that when admin logs in all the items in the switchboard must be available, but when a Manager with leve 2 or a user with level 3 logs in to the database then certain items on a specific Switchboard must be diabled For example lets say Sub Switchboard No 3 and its item number 4 (SwitchboardID = 3 and Item Number 4) should be disabled. I tried searching it on the Forum but no use. All i request you is to help me in this issue.
Warm Regards

I have a database for booking items in and out and would like the database to automatically count the number of items that are overdue.
I have a COMPLETED field which is a check box, when ticked completes the booking, if it is not ticked then the booking is incomplete.
I also have the "Date Returned" which is the date the customer is supposed to return the items.
So using these two fields how can I count the number of overdue items?
if COMPLETED=false and Date Returned<Date() +1
that's basically the logical expression I think would work, but I don't know the code/method to implement this into my database :x please help!
I am trying to learn to use MS access 2007 and have a query about copying and pasting.
Is it possible to paste the same line of text into multiple lines or do I have to arrow down and paste into each individual box?? I can highlight any number of boxes in the same column but when I click paste it only pastes into the first highlighted box.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
why do ALL form items disappear if certain records are not there? my mainform is fed by a people Qry and the people have payments however, if you delete the payments, all of the items on the mainform disappear. if i go into the table and manually add a payment, everything re-appears.
the mainform is exclusive to "peopleQry" and there are 2 subforms which show different data at different times. when the form loads, these subforms have a sourceobject set to "" so it couldnt be them. the mainform doesnt display any payment information unless asked and then, it is shown on a different form. this is a bit of a problem now.
can it be prevented?

I have to redo the company I work for’s insurance program and they want it done in access. I’ve hit a big snag though. Not only are my Access skills very rusty. But also I have a very complicated task here! :)
I would need a customer table an insurer table and an adjuster table. These tables would link to a Claim table. In the claim table I need to make it show the items that the person is going to get with there insurance money by getting details from a table with all of the information for the items.
But how do I make it so you can add more then one item to the claim?
Some people may have 1 item to replace some people may have 20 items.
Hopefully someone understands what I mean here
Thanks Heaps

I am trying to enter multiple parts into the same field and using commas to separate them. Is there a way to create multiple records with the same information, but change the part numbers in them according to comma's?
Would look like this.
Primary Key Location Part number
789 bin89756 89756,87564,78965,12565,45896
I want it to do this in the end.
Primary
Key Location Part number
789 bin89756 89756
790 bin89756 87564
791 bin89756 78965
792 bin89756 12565
793 bin89756 45896
I have a query which is based on a tbl which has data on chemicals in storage. The query is based on two tbls as follows;
Main tbl
ProducdID
ChemicalName
Second tbl
Batch number
TransactionID
Transaction date
Purchased check box
Used check box,
expirydate
ProducdID
When a chemical is purchased a tick goes in the Purchased check box with the other relavant data. When a chemical is used a tick goes in the Used box along with other relevant data in the other fields. In essence each chemical will have only two records 1. a purchased record and 2.eventually a Used record.
I want the query to report on all chemical records which are still in stock. So it's not as simple as adding a True or False to either check boxes. Showing records which have ticks in the Purchased CB ,or not showing records with ticks in the Used CB, will still show a Chemical which has been Purchased but may have been used at a later date and is no longer in stock.
Any suggestions? I hope I haven't confused anyone with my problem?
Can anyone help?
I have a table with the following:
Booked with a y/n field
Person Name with a text field
So...
Yes(True) Jim
Yes(True) Jim
No(False) Jim
What I need is to be able to show a query that shows if the checkbox is ticked (True) and the Name is Jim total up how many true items there are. So from the above I can see that Jim has 2 true items. I would then like this shown in a text box is this possible?
Also, it is not always going to be a person called Jim so... (From above)
Yes(True) Jim
Yes(True) Jim
No(False) Jim
Yes(True) Jack
So how would this go on a query in a sub form? So Name Jim would show 2 and Jack would show 1? At the moment is is grouping the name and I dont want that.
Any ideas
Cheers
Hello all,
I am new to this forum. I have this problem where I need to sort the 4 books in the tables below according to the highest quantity of book sold.In this scenario,
Book C would be 1st in the table with a total quantity of 8.
How do I write a query in access to perform such operation. I have to use DISTINCT to get each book and also count the quantity(e.g. Book C:5+8).
But it seems that I can't use Count and distinct together in Access.
Title SalesNo Quantity
BookA22
BookB 31
BookC 45
BookC 53
BookD 6 1
Hope u all can help!
Hello Access experts,
I try using query below to find the unique items in a Field but it doesnt work. Can someone help me with this query?
Thanks very much in advance.
In (SELECT [project_item] FROM [Table1] As Tmp GROUP BY [project_item] HAVING Count(*)=1 )
I'm building an order entry database. It has two tables (amongst others) called tblOrders and tblOrderDetails, related together on the OrderID field. For every order, there is one record in tblOrder, and as many records in tblOrderDetails as there are individual lines in the order (so, if, for example, the order is for 10 pencils and 2 pens, then tblOrderDetails has 2 records).
Each entry in tblOrderDetails has a Status field, which indcates whether or not the items have are in manufacture, shipped, delivered, etc).
I need a way to get Access to show me only "Open" orders (i.e. ones in which not every item has been shipped). Can I set up a query to determine how many lines each order consists of, and then is there a way to get access to check if all of these are "Shipped"?
Many thanks in advance for any pointers,
Gary
