Changing Order Of Records
Feb 10, 2006
I am making a database that requires a list of all the crew people in our company. This list is not sorted by alphabetical order but by order of significance (or frequency of) crew person. This list is rather lengthy and if I add a crew person it can only be added to the bottom of the list. The only way I have been able to do this is by manually resorting and retyping the list. Is there any way to add a row in the middle of a table (like I can in Excel)??
Thanks, Joe

I have records which represent tasks and the tasks need to be scheduled. They can be ordered to some degree by sorting the table on specific fields and then by sorting parts of the table by specific fields, however, the final ordering needs to be done manually as it cannot be done by a field sort. So, how can you move records around manually? It would be like a CUT and PASTE INSERT. Thanks.... Lester

Hi everyone. I need help on this one
I have a form with a subform. The subform is basically the sale history of the item on the main form (The main form shows a record and then the subform reports its history). This all works fantastic, except that on the subform, every time a new record is entered, it goes to the bottom of the previous one, so after a while, if I want to enter more history into the subform, I have to scroll down through all the older ones to get to the more recent ones.
How can I do it so that in the subform the most recent entry is always at the top and each time a new record is entered, the older ones move down one. This way the most recent records are always on display and older ones move down as they become less important. Likewise, the empty record used to enter data is also at the top!
Thanks!!

I am going into the Form Design mode
Click in the subform
I then set tab order by selecting the box and moving the field up.
Looks correct and then I click okay.
The subform does not change.
I go back into design mode, click in subform and select tab order and it looks correct????

I have a list box and a series of 11 fields a user can search by. My problem is that the List Box has changed the column order.
Example: In the design wizard of the list box I had it such that the columns were in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Now after I hit search the fields populate out of order... 4, 9, 2, 1, etc...

I would like to get the Min + Max values of the data currently in the form, but without changing the sorting currently on the form.
So I was hoping for this, but it is not working. The data in the recordset are not sorted.
Code:
Set R = Me.RecordsetClone
R.Sort = "SendOn ASC"
R.MoveFirst
MinDate = R!SendOn
R.MoveLast
MaxDate = R!SendOn
Any other method except iterating through the entire recordset?

Hi,
I am a bit stuck now and I want to get some ideas from you.
The context first : I am writing a timesheet application and I've got a main form + a sub-form.
In the mainform, I select the engineer, the contract and the week nbr.
My mainform calculates the first and the last day of the selected week and modifies the recordsource property of my sub-form to select the existing records with the right engineer + contract nbr + range of first and last of week. This means that I can only have maximum 7 records for the seven days of the week because the application records only a global time per engineer/contract/per day.
Now I want to know how can I add new records in the subform for the missing days and how to put them in the right order ?
Example: I retrieve from my select in the subform, the times from day 2 and day 4 but I need to generate the missing days 1, 3, 5,6 & 7.
How can i display them in the right order: day 1 (auto), day 2 (table), day 3 (auto), day 4 (table), and so on...
In which event do I have to put code and what kind of code ??
Please help !

I have a form with a subform. I want the records on the subform to be in alphabetical order of first name. At the moment, they appear in the order the records were entered.
I have opened up the subform itself in design view and specified the record order. If I then switch to form view for this, the records correctly display in alphabetical order.
However, when this form is displayed as the subform, the ordering reverts to the original order of record entry.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Gary

I'm very confused. I have two tables in my db that should be the same except for columns(I copied one table from the other). In each I have a "default" entry as the first record in the table just to prevent my select queries from erroring out if they don't find a match for the criteria. When I use the following statement,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Name, Picture FROM background WHERE Name ='" & Fname & "' OR Name='Default'"
it returns the default value as the record, not the match for "Name", even though there is one(when I remove the OR Name='Default' it pulls the record).
When I use this query for the other table from the same .asp page,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Date_Time, URL, Icon, Title, Description, Status FROM Submission WHERE Technician ='" & Fname & "' OR Technician='Default'"
it returns the record where "Technician" matches even though it is below "default" in the table.
I want the query to return the "default" record only if there is NO match for the first criteria, which it does in the second case, but not the first. Is there some way to force this? Thanks in advance for any assistance provided! -Chris Gordon

Hi,
I apologise if this has been posted in the wrong place.
I am currently making changes to a VB front end for a database of jobs in our company. we have approx 2000 job records in the job table. The program uses a recordset to move sequentially up or down the table, record by record as it searches.
The code is doing its job fine, but for some reason or another, the records in the database are not in order. They loosely follow the order you would expect from 1 to 2000, but every now and then deviates. Obviously, when pulling data out one record at a time, this gives the data in the wrong order.
I did not design the database. There was orignally no primary key or indexing. The new job number (an obvious choice for a primary key) is generated by the exectuable program.
I have spent hours trying to apply sorts in different ways, and reading about how records are stored, and my limited understanding has led me to believe that merely sorting records in access is not enough to change the order that they are physically stored in.
My coding abillity is not good enough code round this problem, and the ideal fix would be to find out some way of forcing an ordering from now on (ie would making job number and indexed primary key now prevent this happening to future records) and to find some way of re ordering the previous records (not just sorting them to be viewed in order).
Am I being really silly and missing something or is this a problem people have had before?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie

I have and order entry/lookup form with a subform to view the line items on the order.
Once an order has been saved and status is ‘placed’ I want the records for that order to be locked.
I would also like to display a message box with a yes/no answer to confirm that they want to issue the order and if they confirm then lock the record otherwise return them to the open order.
I can't find out how to do this, but I'm sure it can be done.
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Hi,
I just made a form for order entry which has a subform with order details where each line is a product number with quantity, extended price, etc...
The problem is that when I add a product in the subform, I add it in the new record which is at the bottom of the form. I can add many product like that it works no problem , just adding them to the bottom of the list.
But, when I close the main form and reopen it, the records are now liste is the opposite direction, meaning that the last product i added is now the first row of the subform...So the subform is now populated backwards with the latest record being the first one...
What can I do for the subform to always list the products in the same order I originally input them?....
Thanks,
Hugues

Hi,
i was working with a database and accidently deleted the first row, i couldnt get the automatic number to number another row 1, so i took out this table and created another one. however even though my new record is in order, when i pull this through to the website it's coming in the order 1,3,4,5,6,2... and the coding for the page worked fine with the db beforehand!!! so now i'm a bit lost

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, I'm in the process of making a super simple database (3 - tables). I have run into a problem with two of the tables. The relationship between them is one -> many. Say, I have a record in the (one) table which contains a primary key that is also part of a compound primary key in the (many) table.
Ex:
tblEx1 - (1 side of relationship)
red(pk)
blue
yellow
etc...
tblEx2 - (many side of relationship)
red(pk)
purple(pk)
orange
etc...
If I create a record in tblEx1 and type in some BS for the "red(pk)" field, and I then go to tblEx2, fill in all the fields, and also type in the same BS for the
"red(pk)" field, and come back at a later date, and want to change the value of the "red(pk)" field in both those tables for a certain record, it will not allow me. It doesn't matter which one I go to first. Would I have to delete the relationship everytime to be able to change the value for the "red(pk)" field in either table?
On a related question. In the above example when your doing data entry I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. It seems odd to me that I would have to type in the field for "red(pk)" in both tables, isn't their a way it can automatically figure out to put the same value from the first table into the next one since thier in a relationship.
Sorry if the above is confusing, and stupid. I'm just asking cause I did a whole bunch of records and I have to modify the name of the field which is the primary key, and I don't want to have to delete all the records and re-enter them; that would be a big time waster. Any help is appreciated.

I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.
When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).
The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input.
Hope someone can help please.

Access 97 does not display records in their original order of entry in a report or its query whether they are indexed or not. Results
are always in ascending or descending order even when sorting and groupings are not set. Any suggestions?

I have a table with entries describing a sequence of Tasks (tblTask)
tskID TaskDescription
10 Clean Room
12 Wash Dishes
etc
I have second table called Steps (tblSteps) that is related to tblTask via the field "StepNumber" which is a concatenation of [tskID] & "." & [StepOrder]
So if we look at washing dishes as a task then the steps are as follows:
StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink , 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
205 Put in detergent, 3, 12.3
210 Place dishes in sink, 4, 12.4
435 Turn off tap, 5, 12.5
etc
If I decide delete the third step I get the following:-
StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink, 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
210 Place dishes in sink, 4, 12.4
435 Turn off tap, 5, 12.5
Is there a simple way renumbering the StepOrder entries when one step is totally removed to give me the following?
StepID, StepDescription, StepOrder, StepNumber
202 Put plug in the sink, 1, 12.1
512 Turn on tap, 2, 12.2
210 Place dishes in sink, 3, 12.3
435 Turn off tap, 4, 12.4

I have a difficult problem (because of my own capabilities). I have a table (tblFoods) which includes a number of food with their analyzes. I have a second table (tblExclusiveFoods) which is connected with a third table (tblCustomers) with one-to-many relation. Namely, o tblCustomers is the "One" and tblExclusiveFoods is the "Many".
Into table tblExclusiveFoods there is a field that acts like a ComboBox and gets data from the tblFoods such as drop-down-menu. So, using the combo box i can select the foodID from tblFoods and then showing into exFood field which is a part of the tblExclusiveFoods fields. When i collect the foodID's from the tblFoods, i would like to to build a query which will exclude these foods from the tblFoods.

Whenever I have a form that is based on a query, I am not able to edit the data in the form. Is there any way to change that? I have all allowances set to yes and Data Entry also set to yes. The form contains data for a single record.

Hi,
Can anyone help me please?
I have a combo box which displays the primary key. It then takes the other values from the cbo and then displays them in other text boxes in the form.
This is great.
I am trying to keep the values in record 1and then move on to record 2. reecord 2 has the same values as in record 1 (the values from the cbo!!!) I am trying to keep the values in record 1 and then go to record 2 and select different values in record 2 from the same cbo. Record 1 and record 2 as well as any other record contain the same values from the cbo.
I am stuck - I am not sure how to rectify this problem so that I can choose different values. The cbo is based on a query from other tables.
Please let me know how to do this as I am still finding this tiresome.
Many thanks.

I have attached a Microsoft inventory db that I have attempted to alter and apply to my needs.
I added cascading combo boxes to allow the users to make selections of products specific to categories. Once the category is selected in the CategoryID combobox the cascaded combo boxes ProductName & SerialNumber become populated with the products that belong to the category selected in CategoryID. This works as it should.
The problem comes after a record is selected and an attempt to switch categories is made. For example, say an inventory transaction for the product named "V1" which belongs to the "Special" category is entered. As soon as I switch back to the "Routine" category with the combobox, the product "V1" is now associated with the "Routine" category.
I know Access is just doing what it's supposed to but I need to find out how to prevent the category information for products from changing when a new category is selected in the first combobox. I've tried requeries, gotoRecords and various other commands without luck.
I have attached my db in hopes that a solution can be reached more efficiently.
Thanks in advance.

I have a query that pulls records from a main table based on a check box and I need a macro or code that will set the field value as if it were unchecked.
BTW I am self-taught and new at this so don't make fun of me if the question seems stupid.
Thanks!

i have a splitview form that has a sub form which is a continuous form. On the continuous form there is a start and end date for each record. i would like to be able to change all the start dates on the continuous form by selecting a date once and hitting update or something like that.
so what i have going on is i have designers building scaffolds and adding articles to the scaffold (thus the continuous list) then a few months down the road the site planner will schedule the scaffold to be built and torn down. this will be done on this split form noted above. once that is done i need to have a date and an action applied to each article in the scaffold because i need to track usage of all the material per peice on a job site.

I have a form with a dataset based on a table. (there are a number of buttons on the form with code so it's important I don't delete the form and start again with a new one)
The data displays correctly but the order is wrong. It displays the last record added as the first record when viewed in form view.
I want to reverse this order, how do i go about it? It seems very simple but I've yet to find a solution.
I also don't want to base it on a query because of the code mentioned earlier.
