I currently enter data onto a form which all works fine, when i view the data as a query in dataset view that is fine to, however i have seen a query in a sample database that allows you to click on an item within the query and it takes you to the input form where the details were first stored. Its just what i need but cannot work out how its done. The sample database does not allow you to view the properties so i cannot work it out for myself.
I am trying to create a window in access that will have about 30 different boxes that the user of the database can choose from to click on and automatically sort the information in both a Form and Sub-form, and display the information for the User. Frankly this is a little beyond my means, and I need to know where to get started. I have good knowledge of Access but I don't have much experience when it comes to programming in commands and such. Any help would be appreciated.
I just have a question on making an interface for my database.Some sample databases and office templates have in them, a list of the names of all the records embedded directly on a form, where you can navigate from one record being displayed to another.
An example is in the contacts database template that you can get from Microsoft. It features, on the left, a list of the names of all the people in your database, alphabetically. So, all you have to do is click on John Smith, and bam, John's information will appear in the fields on the right side of the form. If you want to move to Claire Jones, all you have to do is click her name and her information will appear in the fields on the right.
I was wondering if a list box can be made so the header of each columns is clickable.. so you can sort by that column either alphabetically or numerically?
Is it possible to make a form where you have two textboxes to search a table and show the search results in a list under the textboxes? Also making the list items clickable?
I have 3 text fields on a form that I search by. I have the search query action set on a button, which produces the results in a datasheet view. Is there any way that I can make the records in the datasheet view clickable so I can select the record and go to the form to update the data?
I have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable.
I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange behavior occurs?
If I move the button up a few pixels or more, then the clickable area shifts to the top of the button and the bottom becomes unclickable.
The buttons are in the header of the form and is completely visible when the form is in normal form view. I also can not see anything that could be sitting ontop of the button (no transparent controls or anything) that could be obscuring it.
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.
Hy, I have this db where a user can purchase and item and total stock number needs to be updated.
I can calculate how many items are left but how to update the warehause table?
I can live without table updating, but if the same item is purchased multiple times my query return incorrect values as the number from which the formula subtracts is never changed.
I have a small stock control database built around a Northwind example. I am trying to build a query that displays items low on stock. On my products form I have: Min Order Level field (stored value) Units on Hand (calculated value from products subform (units received-units sold)).
Q1: Do I use a query to calculate/display this? Q2: How do I construct an expression to acheive this?
I have a sum query issue I am trying to work out and I have trouble trying to coordinate it.I am trying to build sum queries inside one select query that would allow me to sum point values in a separate table. The problem I am foreseeing is that I have three tables all connected with realationships. The structure with the fields is below:
Table1: Test Case Description ...
Table2: Run Description test_case ...
Table3: Task Points Group (Run) Date1 Date2 Date3 ...
I want to be able to sum the total amount of points in a test case. Currently I am able to sum the number of points per run by doing a sum query on SUM(Table3.Points) in a select query that queries Table2 and Table3. But I try to do that with select query for Table1 and Table2 the query returns the same sum for all test cases. That sum is equal to the point total for the 1st entry in Table1. Can I add a criteria somehow to make the sum work for each Test Case entry in Table1?
Also in regards to this same summing issue I spawned a second issue. I wanted to run a sum query on Table3 that would allow me to sum all the entries in that table that had valid entries in the Date1 field. I tried the following criteria.
Not IsNull([Date1])
The query came back with the same output as the above sum query.
What I am trying to accompolish essentially is the to get two sums out of the query. The first sum would be to sum all of the points totals for each Test Case. The other being able to sum point totals based of if a Date1 Field being filled in for each Task.
I am pretty sure I can do this in one query and just manipulate the data in the form of expressions and sum queries.
I am still searching through this forum for valid suggestions. But any thoughts will be welcome.
I have made a database to show me dates that I need to check various documentation from my contractors.
Once a month I want to print out a query/report to tell me what checks need to be made in the following month.
The dates are
Licence Check Licence Expiry Van Ins Exp GIT Expiry MOT Expiry Passport Check Vis Expiry
I need a query table that shows a list of names that have anything to be checked in the month.
So the Column headers would be Name, Surname, Licence Check, Licence Expiry, Van Ins Exp, GIT Expiry, MOT Expiry, Passport Check, Vis Expiry.
Its easy to do a list with one date but when I add multiple dates into the query it looks for names and surnames with the date within the next 30 days for every date and therefor brings back no records.
I have attached the picture. Obviously not all the records will show dates. Some will be blank.
I have a combo box that has three items in it. Name, ID_Num, Date
I need to use ID_Num and Date to filter the results of query. I can use one or the other but not both. I have tried ListIndex but apperently am writing it wrong in the expression builder.
I also have a table that list the items and on that table the column ItemID is the key.I want to create a query that will list all items ordered on a PO# and how many have been received so far. With that I will calculate the outstanding qty. I want to see:
I posted in this section because I don't know a better category.
I have data (from a cross tab report) that looks: 16763
and I would like it to look like: 16764
So that the 'X's make a diagonal.... It helps the humans understand the data better. :D
I was thinking of exporting the query to excel and then running a script that would look for 'X's in the first column and then move those rows to the bottom. And so forth for each column, until they are in a diagonal like above. (Because the rightmost 'X's are moved to the bottom last).
Am I barking up this tree the wrong way? Does someone know how to do this?
EDIT: I have multiple groups like 'Date' in the above example. Basically for each group I would like it to be diagonal. I also have some groups that use 'Feature A, Feature B, ect' in place of Date, and for those groups I need to leave the rows undisturbed.
Is there a way to export a query of 14 items to a word report. I have a table of 14 items in that I use as a query but it only exports 1 item to the report.
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! :( )
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.
