I am part of a team working on part of an ongoing project that requires a flexible and easy to update database from which to compile our data. The general format that we have, is that of a "Tree Diagram" (see sample attached). As you can see, this is where one branch has in turn several branches and this cascades downwards to some base values.
On the diagram you can see that I have used the example of "Costs In Football". Firstly the tree is branched into countries where football leagues exist (England, France etc...), each of these countries then has a number of leagues - I have only shown this for the English leagues. These leagues are all made up of teams, only following the Premiership league, you can see some of the teams in it (Arsenal, Chelsea...). Using the Liverpool team, the team is then made up of players such as Gerrard, Reina etc...
These players have a specific postion where they play (i.e. Goalkeeper, defence, midfield, attack) - this has been illustrated with only "Gerrard". The next set of branches examines the costs associated with each player (current value, weekly wage...)
The weekly wage is then examined in more detail by what components make it up and their respective costs. I have stopped the tree here and I am using this last line as the base values.
Now, what we wish to do, is to be able to calculate easily (and automatically) what costs are associated at each level of the tree diagram. i.e. "How much money is spent on wages in all the clubs in the Premiership league", or "Which country spends the most on Sponsorship Deals?"
The flexibility of the database must also be high. Each year the teams that make up each league are changed - we need to be able to make these changes to the database - and the automatically calculated values must change along with the changes.
Also, if a club buys a player - i.e. Liverpool (England) buy Beckham (Real Madrid, Spain) then the details for both Liverpool and consequently the Premiership league will have to change, along with the details for Real Madrid and the Spanish data.
In short, additions of data, changes of data and deletions of data must result in the database automatically changing the values involved in each step of the tree. i.e the change made in the Players branch must cascade up and down the branch so that the calculations at every level are recalculated.
Any help and feedback on this would be much appreciated,
Does anyone know how to do a keyword search in MS access so in a knowledge tree with 100 of records with a few keywords in one of the main fields i.e. symptoms i can reduce the amount of records to go throught
Good afternoon! I have a report that looks just like a spreadsheet. I have names down the side and dates across the top. The grid contains the count of date for each name. These are the dates that an employee is scheduled to work. Is there a way to also document within this report (with "R" for requested off, or "A" for available), to note when they are available or have requested off? I'm attaching a zip of the report and the code that calculates the grid also. Thank you for your help...

This is the query I used: PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmDates]![Date] DateTime; TRANSFORM Count([Staffing Query].Title) AS CountOfTitle SELECT [Staffing Query].ERName, [Staffing Query].Department, [Staffing Query].Shift, Count([Staffing Query].Department) AS [Total Of Department] FROM [Staffing Query] GROUP BY [Staffing Query].ERName, [Staffing Query].Department, [Staffing Query].Shift PIVOT "d" & DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmDates]!Date,[Date Scheduled]) In ("d0","d1","d2","d3","d4","d5","d6","d7","d8","d9","d10","d11","d12","d13","d14","d15","d16","d17","d18","d19","d20","d21","d22","d23","d24","d25","d26","d27");
All of the techs follow a specific hierarchy. So if you want to get tech3 in the above example, you need to research techs 1 and 2 first. If you want to get tech5, you need to research techs 1, 2 and 4 first.
Once the layout of the database is there, I want to be able to run queries on specific techs to see what techs are needed to open that tech up. Each of the techs have numbers associated with them also, and I would like to also be able to query a tech, and find out all of the added totals for every tech that is needed to get to that tech. For example:
I run a query on tech3, and it shows me that the totals for that tech path are: 8a, 14b. (1a+3a+4a=8a, and 2b+5b+7b=14b).
I know this is possible, but it is very complex. I have some ideas on how to start this, but I would appreciate some feedback/samples on where to get started. If someone spends the time and gives me some really helpful samples, please include your paypal in your post.
This problem is driving me crazy.... :mad: I have main form which contains treeview control. TreeView contains list of all users that have been added. I add users in pop up form. But when I hit Update button in pop up form the treeview dosen`t want to update. I can make it work only if I close main form and open it again when I hit Update button on pop up form.
If IsLoaded("frmOsnovnoOkno") Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOsnovnoOkno" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmOsnovnoOkno" DoCmd.Hourglass False End If
I dont want to close main form ("frmOsnovnoOkno") and open it again I just want to update treeview without closing and opening main form. Please help me.. :)
I need a help. I would like to (if possible) to place into Form an object that could create a Tree-like menu structure. The source from this object should be table/query. Is this possible?
I would like to create an application with a left side tree menu. Each leaf of the tree should open a form or launch a procedure. The branches could expand or collapse. Nodes could have pics.
There must be a couple of VAB examples. Would you recommend me some of the best ones ?
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question but I am trying to create a tree view library reference database for several pdf documents I need to index, and would be happy if there is a sample available to download.

I have a form with a Treeview in. I have it populated from a self-referencing database using the following code.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Const strTableQueryName = "SELECT * FROM tblHierarchy ORDER BY tblHierarchy.Function_Parent;" Dim db As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strTableQueryName, dbOpenDynaset, dbReadOnly)
[Code] ....
The database this is referencing is about 30000 lines and it takes ~4 minutes to populate this way. I know Treeview isn't really supposed to be used in this way however it's what is required.
Now I have come up with the theory that I will populate each node with children as its clicked to be expanded.
Table 1: two columns - Child Tag and Parent Tag. Parent Tags can also be in Child Tag column. In other words, a parent can have multiple levels of children.
Table 2: one column - Backup Tag.
I'd like to have a form with a combo box, pick a Parent Tag, the search all its child tags and compare each Child Tag found with records in Table 2 to see if there is a match. Then populate all results in a tree view control.
A visual example :
Parent Tag ...Child Tag 1 - Back up tag found ......Child Tag 11 ......Child Tag 12 - Back up tag found ...Child Tag 2 ......Child Tag 21 ...Child Tag 3 ......Child Tag 31 .........Child Tag 311 - Back up tag found
Working in ColdFusion, the following works good with just one term criteria:
<cfquery ... where A.TITLE LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="%#criteria#%"> OR A.SUBTITLE LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="%#criteria#%"> OR A.ABSTRACT LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_longvarchar" value="%#criteria#%"> OR A.CONTENT LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_longvarchar" value="%#criteria#%"> ...
Please advise the best approach so that multiple terms may be used. Thank you very much. ContiW
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
Hi, I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation, but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this impliemented? Here is the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167659/en-us Thanks!
Hi! This is Kishore, working on VB Project which is using MS-Access95 as backend. Now, i want to change the Database login Password. Could anyone guide me in this context.
Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri Masonry NSW');'
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
