I have a database that keeps track of employees absences and tardies but after a certain amount of time is the data valid. I want to be able to type into my text box a date and have the query collect all infromation a year back. I know how to do it if I was just using the current date but how do I pull the information from a date a user can input?
In the date field I have the following:
=[form]![selectdate]![date]< 365
I've even tried [form]![select]![date] - 365
I would like to create a payroll record that collect some information from another table. In other words:
-I have an employee. -I have a payroll table. -I would like to get some of the values from the employee table written to the payroll table when a new record is entered.
The form would look some thing like this:
Three boxes:
Employee: [ ] (table query to find name) # of students [ ] #of class minutes [ ] (value list with 3 choices)
When the SAVE button is pressed a record would be written to the payroll table with:
The payroll table would look like this: payrolid#, employee#, employee, # of students, # of class minutes, rate, date
The employee#, employee and the rate would come from the employee table.The # of students, # of class minutes and date would come from the payroll form.
I have a database that I built as one large database, then used a method I found on here to creat 2 brand new databases and copy the tables from the original to one and use it for a back end and then copy everything else to another file to use as the front end. I did this and it worked great, except that now the information being input into the forms on the front end is not being recorded into the back end. I tried relinking the tables and it still was not working. Is there a secret step I missed or something I need to fix in order to make this work properly? The way I made the front end dependent on the back end was by linking the table from the back end to the front end. I checked the object dependencies and it shows those as being correct. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!! I am truly only a novice when it comes to Access and just in the past 6 months or so have been using it regularly.
Issue: We are trying to remove duplicate information for one fiscal year in an ODBC then import and append the correct information from an Excel spreadsheet. The process we have followed is
Copy Master Access file and paste new file (to test, so we do not loose original data)Rename new file TEST.accdbCreate a delete query for Fiscal Year dataDelete information for duplicated Fiscal yearImport correct Fiscal Year information to a new table from ExcelAppend table to master table (ODBC)
Questions:
After being granted permission to delete information, it worked once and now no longer works. When the permissions are reviewed it appears that everything is still granted but the following message is received:
Why does Access change all copies of SDA, even if filenames are different and in different folders?
When we append table, why does it duplicate information?
THEN . . . . I need to also isolate certain periods, for example July- March for YTD (year-to-date) analysis and compare YTD of 2006 with that of 2005.
I'm trying to add a couple of fields to the Contact database in Access 2010.
In the Contacts table, I created a field called "Sobriety Date" that has dates formatted like 12/27/1995
I am trying to add a calculated field called "Years Sober" which should be the current year minus the year in the 'Sobriety Date' field (1995 in the example above).
This is a template under 'sample templates' : "Tasks". it has a button called " Collect data via e-mail". I couldn't test is because when i hit the button it says "microsoft out look could not be started, make sure outlook is installed and properly set up.( the send and receive dialog box in outlook shows is marked and read as complete, but the green bar showing progress is still lit up + calendar contacts,etc. wont sync in mobile device center).
I have a golf society database. I would like to be able to send, via e-mail, a 'Form' to each of the members of the society so that that they could fill in the data in the form then e-mail it back to me and then import it into the database.
Has anyone got any good suggestions on how I should do this please ?
I have a database which is populated, but users have to review and amend the data. I was going to ask users to sign in to do this, however my boss wants the data collected via email.
I have looked at using the email wizard, but it produces a rather messy looking email form regardless of if I choose HTML or InfoPath. Is there any way to adapt the email to make it better, or maybe another way of emailing users (through VBA)?
I am using and modifying (very little) the template "Issues and Tasks" to have my team of 35 people submit any feedback that they may have on a particular campaign.
No one has Access except for me....I would like to use the "Data Collect | Create Email" Feature so that whenever they have any issues they can just fill that out (Save the email in a special folder to be used multiple times). The problem I am encountering is that the "Create Email" button is greyed out and I am not sure why....also, I would like to know if this is the most efficient way of doing this.
I trying to figure out how to make this query work. I have a simple database that is being used to show employee employment information - name, hire date, salary, bonuses, etc. Everything is just about done but they want me to show what percentage of the prior year the employee was there. In other words if an employee was hired 4/20/2004 they want me to show the percentage of 2004 they were employed with the company. I've tried just about everything I can think of but nothing seems to give me the right answer. I am also showing the percentage for the current year (2005) and that works ok. Just can't figure out how the calculate it for a prior year.
This is being done in a query and we're using Access 2000.
I have fields [DayOfYear] and [Year] can I somehow produce the dd/mm/yyyy from this. I know how to do it in Excel but the Asscess function Date() is a little different.
I.e. if [DayOfYear] =152, [Year] = 2014 then [Date] = 2/6/2014
I'm going to try using the year, day of year, hour & minute (24 hour clock) as a report number. It's set up in a field on a table. Right now I have....
Default Value =Format(Now(),"yyyhhnn") 'which works but not exactly how I would like
yy = Last two digits of the year y = Number of the day of the year (1 to 366) 'can this show three digits all the time? hh = Hour in two digits (00 to 23) nn = Minute in two digits (00 to 59)
For instance, right now for Jan. 10th, 2012, 1306 hours the result would be 12101304 which, for all intents and purposes works, but I would prefer the "day of the year" to always be represented by three digits and not just when it hits day 100 of the year.
Method 'Collect' of object'_Recordset' failed is the error I am getting when I try to set a record field to a form text field that has the system date set to it.
Specifically.
yrst is the recordset
I set a number of recordset fields to values on a form with no problem.
Included on the form is a field "txtNewUpdtDt". The control source is =Date()
The statement that is failing is yrst!SysUpdtDt = Me.txtNewUpdtDt
This had been working until today. I googled the error message and found a lot of hits, but none that specifically addressed my situation.
In Access 2007 and 2010 there was a "Collect Data" group under "External Data" where I could click "Create E-mail" that would build an email form for an outbound email in Outlook based on a table. I would then send the email out, then collect the data back into the table from Outlook when the recipient of the email responded with a filled out form. I don't see how to do that with Access 2013. I do see the "Email" button, but that's for something else. I see no 'Collect Data' in Access 2013 like the picture below shows from Access 2007.
I have a parameter query using a form to collect the data. I put LIKE and wildcard enclosing the parameter to bypass the criteria if the data box is empty. It works well. I have another parameter of date type that uses between two dates. How can I bypass the criteria if I leave the data boxes blank?
I am the first to admit I struggle with looping through records.
I am trying to loop through a table and collect external income data and write it to a new table.
My issue may be the way the table is laid out. ???
The attached pictures show the tables. The tblExtInc is where the data are. I am trying to create a table that looks like tblExtIncYr that shows each year and separate entries by item.
How would I loop through tblExtInc and grab ex:$2000 every year for upto 100 years but only get the $1000 for year 6,7,8 only?
My department handles all two-way email communication with our customers. We have 8 different email addresses that we use depending on the customer service issue. I'm looking for a way to continuously collect 3 pieces of data from every email that is received: 1) Date Received, 2) Time Received, and 3) To Field (which of the 8 email addresses it was sent to).
As you can imagine the collection of this data to look for trends to assist with staffing needs, as well as analyze build reports for the company to review. I've been working with my IT department on this but they are not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to have them collect the data as it is coming into the email server, right? I'm good with VB and I've built some VBA scripts recently that collect Outlook information, but these only work if the computer I'm using stays on all the time which is not always practical. We'd like to have this database stored on one of our shared drives which collects this data indefinitely from our email server.
I have a query based on payment date which I have extracted the Year part as a seperate Field StartYear, but I want to now add EndYear which just adds 1 year to the StartDate. e.g. EndYear = StartYear +1. Anyone kow please I know i's proably simple but I keep getting syntax errors.
There's a lot of info that I need to keep track of by just the year. If I enter it as a normal date, I would need to extract the year every time I need to query and then do what ever. Would it be easier just to extract it once, convert to an integer and use it like that through out the system when I need to query by year?
