Tables :: Modifying Table Structure - How To Provide Multiple Names At One Address
Jan 8, 2013I need to modify my customer table to cater for multiple names at one address.
Should I move all the addresses into their own separate table or leave them as is (name-Address-postcode- email etc in one table) and put the additional addressees into a separate table or is there a better way I have not thought of.
Tables :: Changing Multiple Records Using MS Access?
Aug 28, 2013I am connecting to a table in our accounting software using MS Access ODBC Connection. I would like to change the value in a table for every record in the table 7,000+. In the latest version of the software a new field was added to the Vendor Table that by default is unchecked. I would like to have this field checked for each vendor. Is there a way that I can change all the records at once instead of going row by row to make the changes?

Apr 21, 2005I don’t understand how to structure tables and relationships.
I want to build a form that allows the user to search for a postal service from a group of carriers.
User must be able to input into a form:
Weight in g, Kg or lbs
Insurance level required
Whether signature is required (Yes/No from drop down list)
Collection/drop-off options (tick boxes)
Each service has a different insurance level, some need signature; some services collect, and all have different rates.
I just want to know how to structure the database.
The main part of my question is what would be my main table be and what fields would be contained in it, and what foreign keys would be introduced to pull in info.
Would you have a different table for each service?

Feb 9, 2005I am creating a database where the user can import data from a number of spreadsheets (one spreadsheet for each company). Currently I have one table for each company with the year being the primary key. Each year when a rolled over spreadsheet needs to be generated for a certain company I have Access import the data to a blank template in excel which will display the prior 4 years of data (for informational purposes) and leave a column blank for the end user to fill in the current year data. When returned the current year data is imported into the database.
My problem is that I cannot see a way to do this without having a seperate table for each company. If I have one table with all company data I cannot use the year as the primary key. Any suggestions on how I can reduce the amount of tables I need. Setting up the rest of the tables wont be a problem, but future users of the database will have to go through the process of creating tables for new companies and creating all the queries and macros associated with that table.

I would however like to be able to flag within table A, those records in table A that are the same as those in table B.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTables And Table Structure Needed For New DB
Oct 31, 2005Firstly, I want to admit that my knowledge about data base construction is fairly basic.
I am trying to build a data base for humanitarian projects that do not at all resemple of the usual examples including customers, invoices, suppliers and what have you. My problem in constructing the DB is that most of the projects will address more than one subject and also include more than one target group and even operate in more than one country.
In my first attempt I filled the relevant fields (subjects, target groups and country) with more than one value using a form with multi select lists. The problem was that it was very difficult to query these multi-value fields and kind people in this forum strongly advised my to reconstruct the DB avoiding such fields.
What I need is to be able to view/print various selections based on precise criteria that include a region (or country), a subject and a target group in all kind of combinations.
The problem is to decide on what tables to establish and their interrelation. I guess that when entering a project record (using a form) I will have to store somewhere what subjects (could be more than five) and target groups the project include. It is, of course, not a problem to establish special tables or value lists for the subjects and target groups and countries, but where/how do I store the basic project information for a project and the multi-values that are related to the individual project?
I hope that this is not too confusing and I would appreciate any suggestion for a simple table structure and the interrelation between the tables.
Many thanks in advance.

Tables :: Correcting Table Structure
Apr 2, 2015I have been working on a a table design, but I am failing to create the correct relationships.My main table is the tblIncident with the three remaining tables being linked via a one to many relationship. I am using an auto number as my primary key, then linking that number to a FK in each table.
The end goal is to create one form with a varying sample of combo boxes, check boxes and data entry fields from each table. I did not plan to create a subform for each table, but maybe that is required?

Apr 12, 2013I'm creating a timesheet/check in system (log in when the person starts work so it logs it and when they log out it logs that also for the manager or someone with high power to see.) for a fictitious scenario for an IT major project but I'm not sure where to start!
At the moment I have a few tables that are like this.
Table: Employees
Fields: EmployeeID, First Name, Last Name, DOB
Table: PayRates
Fields: RateID, EmployeeID, HourRate, TotalHours
Table:WorkTimes
Fields: EmployeeID, PayPeriod, WorkDate, StartTime, EndTime, TotalHours
I'm not entirely sure if this is all correctly structured, it just doesn't look/sound right to me.
Copying The Structure Of Forms And Tables And Their Associations?
Sep 8, 2011I have a psychology project where we soon use a questionnaire on a daily basis (maybe 80 variables per day per subject). Currently, there is no data in the database.
I've managed to create a table called day1 (with 80 day1 variables) and a form that looks like the questionnaire we want to use (and linked apropriately to the variables in the table for day1).
What is an easy way of duplicating the table and form for successive days? That is, i want the structure of the day1 table copied to another table (call it day2). It has exactly the same variables except they are slightly different to differentiate them from day1. I would like the form for day2 to have exactly the same layout as the form for day1, but link to the variables in table 2.
I know i could just couple the day1 table, change the variable names slightly, and then copy the form for day1 and change the links to point to table2, but there are many assessments (18 days).
Tables :: Database Design Structure For Controllers And Heating
Mar 4, 2014I haven't been on Access for a while so im still in the process of getting the cogs turning....... i am trying to design a database structure for controllers and heating.
each controller can have many heating units
each heating unit can use many controllers
rather than code everything, how could i set this up?
Example:
Controller01 can be used with Boiler01, Boiler04, Boiler12, Boiler 20
Controller02 can be used with Boiler01, Boiler05, Boiler15
Controller03 can be used with Boiler02, Boiler03, Boiler04, Boiler20
I have a table with a ControllerID and a table with a BoilerID. In the boiler table, i have the ControllerID and a one to many relationship.
How would I set this up?
Tables :: Table Structure For Cascading Combo Boxes
Jul 19, 2014I need a table structure that will allow me to have a repair log data entry form with 3 cascading combo boxes on the repair log data entry form. There can be many repairs for a specific job but most of the time there will be one repair per job and 1% of the time two or more repairs for a specific job.
I am pulling a report based on a query that will show the repaired location, facility type, repaired item, repaired component on that item and other details related to the repair.I uploaded an empty database with the structure.
Cascade levels
I. Facility Type
II. Item by [I]
III. Component by [II]
Modules & VBA :: Changing DSN Linked Tables To DSNLESS Tables?

Tables :: Suitable Table Structure To Distribute Payments Among Different Bank Accounts
Aug 17, 2015Looking for efficient table structure for this. Let's say I have a list of contractors who will get paid a certain amount of money each week. The amount of money changes each week by measuring the amount of work done, giving it a price and calculating it. The fields are these:
[pk]WeeklyWorkID
WorkID
Quantity
UnitPrice
Total=Qty*UnitPrice (not stored in this table)
EmployeeID
WeekID
So far, it's all good, but we wish to pay the contractors in an unusual way. Let's say he makes $16,000 of work this week, and we want to pay him using cash AND/OR either one or multiple debit cards. For example:
Cash: $1,500
Debit card 45: $7,500
Debit card 71: $4,000
Debit card 13: $3,000
Total = $ 16,000
We can only deposit $7,500 max in each card. But it's even worse... two or more contractors can SHARE the card and it's not always the same card. Sounds pretty funky, but it's what the company wants to do. So, what would you recommend me in this case?
I'm guessing I'm gonna need these tables: tbWeeks to hold the week number, tbCards to store the cards' info, and an extra table to make a many to many relationship between the cards and the employees.
Changing Linked Tables Into Regular Tables
Dec 20, 2007Hello All,
I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but that really doesn't matter for my needs in this case.
Is there a script or an easy way to do this? (besides doing a manual import for a LOT of tables)
I've tried searching but I might not be searching for the correct terminology.
Thanks in advance!

Tables :: Claim Tracking Database - Structure For Dates Of Events Related To Claims
Feb 28, 2013I am developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc.
I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
tblEvents
EventID
EventName
tblClaimEvents
ClaimEventID
fkClaimID
fkEventID
EventDate
With this table structure there is a many-to-many relationship between Claims and Events, but, there will only be one of each event per claim. Is there a better way to set up the tables to enforce a 1-to-1 relationship?
I was planning on creating a form for the Claim table with a subform for the Events joined on ClaimID and fkClaimID, but that would allow users to create more than one set of Events per claim, if that makes sense.

Forms :: Changing Multiple Records At Once
May 13, 2014i 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.

Changing Color On Multiple Text Boxes
Jan 18, 2005I have about 25 text boxes on my form that use the dcount or count functions to obtain a number. (Text boxes are labeled 'Text1' through 'Text25')
When the value of the textbox is 0, I would like to have the color of the text box turn red.
Is there a way I can do this using a for loop? Or a with statement?
Checking each one individually just seems like poor programming.
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Thank you.
