Combining Records
Jun 22, 2007I'm modifying a database for someone in our marketing department. The DB tracks shirts that are given to employees.
The area I'm having a problem with has to do with the shirt style.
The current categories offer:
Long Sleeve (White)
Long Sleeve (Black)
etc..
I want to combine those two so they fall under the simple category "Long Sleeve"
The problem I'm having is that when I do a find/replace, it will allow me to change all of the Long Sleeve (White) to Long Sleeve, but then when I go to change Long Sleeve (Black) to "Long Sleeve", it creates duplicate entries because the same order contained x amount of Long Sleeve (White) and x amount of Long Sleeve (Black).
Is there an easy/ automated way to combine these results into "Long Sleeve" and add the quantity fields together to show the total amount of shirts ordered?

May 7, 2007Hello,
I seem to have a similiar problem to others and I tried to read through this forum, but I am not well versed in the code and I frankly find some of the explanations way to complicated. I was hoping someone can help me with a problem. I have data that looks like this:
Name Comments
J Smith 1/1/07-ATO
J Smith 1/10/07-UAU
S Smith 1/13/07-ATO
D Smith 1/2/07-OT
D SMith 1/3/07-OT
D Smith 1/4/07-ATO
I want it to look like this:
Name Comments
J Smith 1/1/07-ATO, 1/10/07-UAU
S SMith 1/13/07-ATO
D Smith 1/2/07-OT, 1/3/07-OT, 1/4/07-ATO
ANy suggestions?

Transfer Records Between Databases
Sep 18, 2006ok, basically our website will input form details directly into a database. this database will be held online obviously..
once the details are inside, how easy will it be to transfer a record into a table of another database.. (our main database.. which is offline for security purposes).
im assuming it wont be too hard.. both access versions are the same.. and they can both be open at once.. etc..
can anyone shed some understanding on this issue

Jan 3, 2008Hello all,
I have two MS Access tables; table1 contains installing records (fields = serial, installdate) and table2 contains de-installing records (fields = serial, deinstalldate). Tables are structured as followed:
Table1:
serialX installdate1
serialX installdate2
serialX installdate3
Table2:
serialX deinstalldate1
serialX deinstalldate2
I'd like to combine the above two tables to get:
Table3:
serialX installdate1 deinstalldate1
serialX installdate2 deinstalldate2
serialX installdate3 null
Is it possible? Right now, whenever I joined the two table on serialX I got 2 deinstalldate's for each installdate, e.g.:
serialX installdate1 deinstalldate1
serialX installdate1 deinstalldate2
serialX installdate2 deinstalldate1
serialX installdate2 deinstalldate2
..........
Thanks in advance for your time and help! I'd appreciate it!
Best regards,
Andy
Queries :: Combining Like Records In Union Query
Nov 25, 2013How can I add the resulting records from a union query. The results of the union are something like this:
Quantity Item

What I need to display is
Quantity Item
5 Cats
1 Dog

How can I get the query to "do the math"?
Combining Multiple Columns Into One Longer Column (without Combining Fields)
Jul 17, 2013I trying to combine three columns that I have into one column without combining fields.
Currently what I have:

What I want:
ID-----MOC

The list I have will be much longer and will be changing frequently, which is why I can't just go on excel and manually do this.
Combining Records With Attachments From Separate Computers Into A Master Database
Jun 21, 2013We're a small shop building a modest database to keep track of our product listings on eBay. Two people on non networked computers are doing the data entry into cloned copies of our database. This includes attached photos for each record. At the end of each week, we want to combine the records created separately into the master database on my system.
It seems like it would be simple enough to just cut and the paste the records from the two databases into the identical master. The problem I'm anticipating concerns the attached photos.
Some strategies are to transfer the records from the data entry computers to the master database while keeping the attached photos intact.
Is there an effective, efficient way to set this up or would it be best to use the OLE format for the pictures instead of attaching them (which I prefer)?
Combining Multiple Tables With Multiple Records
Jul 16, 2007Here is the situation that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. I'm working with a database that tracks our condo units - from prospect coming into the system until we close them as a buyer. All the units are setup in the system so a salesperson will select from the units available. All that works fine when I create reports. The problem is trying to get the parking and storage on the same reports with the unit information. The problem is that there are multiple parking/storage units "attached" to a single unit and I cannot figure out how to get them to all appear on a single row of the report. As an example -
I have units A, B, C
Parking units p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6
Storage units s1,s2,s3.
Unit A uses parking units p1, p2, p5 and storage unit s2.
Unit B uses parking unit p3 and storage unit s1.
Unit C uses parking unit p4, p6 and storage unit s3.
How do I write a query/report that would show:
Unit Parking Storage
Unit A p1, p2, p5 s2
Unit B p3 s1
Unit C p4,p6 s3
Thanks,

New To Databases: I Need Some Advice
Jun 2, 2005I'm creating a database that keeps track of printing jobs at a printing company... I started my project by drawing out how I want the databases to be configured.
I was going through a book that was made for access 2000, but I need to create this in access 97 because that's what the company has on their computers. One of the features in Access 2000 thats not in 97 is subdatasheets...
Basically, what I want to do is for each printing job, there can be a bunch of different tasks that need to be completed and billed for. For example, on one printing job, they need to design a logo, and then they need to print it out and send samples across the globe, and then they need to create a pdf, etc. This is going to be different for each job.
What I figured I would do is create a separate table to take care of all of the different tasks that are related to each job. This table would have the primary key of the job from the main table for each individual job, and then they would be related in a one (MAIN entry) to many (tasks) relationship.
Is this correct in how I want to do that? How will I do this inside a form, I want them to enter the information in table that expands as they put more tasks in?
This might be a very simple question, I just want to know if I'm going in the right direction.
Thanks much!
MDE/Splitting Databases
Jul 14, 2005Hello,
I have been reading a lot about splitting databases on this forum. I still have some questions.
1) Will the FE (Front End) still show the tables?
2) Will users still be able to edit the forms, reports, etc.?
3) Will my code be hidden
4) Will all the users have up to date data showing when they open the Database?
5) Can more than one person open and input data in the database at the same time?
I also want to make an MDE copy, do I split first or make the MDE and then split?
The whole point is the following: I want the people (maximum 10) that will be using this database to only be able to do enter and view data. They should be able to generate the reports but not create new reports. I only want ONE person to be able to edit the forms, code, and reports. How would I do this.
Your help is much appreciated
Read Only Databases
Aug 9, 2005Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, so MODS, do what you will.
I'll come out and admit it right now, I'm a newbie here and have just started using Access2003. I'm in a city government so I need other users to be able to view and access my database, BUT I don't want them to be able to edit or change things. I want to be the Owner/Administrator of the database and no one else. I want to be the only person that can make changes.
Is this possible in Access 2003? Can other users only open it in Read-Only format but when I open it, it's editable?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Nov 28, 2005Hi,
I have an MS Access database on a server which acts as a back end, with about 30 users using the data. They each have a copy of the MS Access front end located on their PC's.
Every time I make a change to the front end, I have to redistribute the new version to each PC.
What I am wanting to do is put a single copy of the front end on the server, and adding a shortcut to this front end on everyone's PC's. This would allow me to make changes to the front end without having to redistribute to all users.
What I was wondering is, if I put a single copy of the Front end on the server and simply shortcut to that front end, will it cause any problems, or are there any issues that I should look out for?
Any help or advice much appreciated!
Linking Databases
Dec 15, 2005I have a Form that refers to two Reports, both of which refer to two query's one for each. the whole lot(1 Form, 2 Reports, 2 Querys) is in one mdb file and the actual database is another mdb file. How do I get my objects to get their data from the main Data Base File? the 5 objects are acting as a small report making application.

Network Databases
Oct 20, 2006Just trying to get some more replies...
This post is really aimed at someone that has experience of network databases and the problems they can pose but if you can help at all that would be great!
I work for an insurance company and we have created a database for registering complaints on. The one we currently use is a single .mdb file which can be shared by up to 60 people at any one time. This is creating a lot of problems when the queries and some VBA code are run. I therefore made a server file which is just an mdb file with data tables in and NO forms or queries. This file is stored on a shared drive on the network server. We then created a client file which contains all of the forms and queries and code. This file contains linked tables to the server so when data is entered into the form, it "Sends" it to the server mdb file. The client is installed on each of the local machines c:. The problem with this was that if we made a change to the database, we would need to reinstall the client on every single user pc. This would of took ages. I therefore made an auto-update function that checked the version number on the server and if the server number was greater than the client number, a simple .bat fiile was run which copied the updated client file from the network to the relevant users local disk.
The problem we have now is that our IT department are concered that if we make a change to the client and all the staff log in at 9am for example, it will start doing multiple copying of a file around 8mb in size to around 60 machines. They are only running on a 2meg pipe so this could cause some problems. We are not looking to change the client & server idea but does anyone know if this will have a big impact and infact if the updates for 60 machine is the equivalent or lesser of 60 people sharing the single file i mentioned earlier. If the IT dept are happy with 60 users accessing the same file at the same time, which they currently are, why are they unhappy with it updating these machine using the new method.
Would really apopreciate any thoughts anyone has..
Thanks a lot.

I want to be able to link the two so I can have all the customers details and orders together and print off reports. I really have not dealt with Access before so I really dont have a clue. Any help would be truly appreciated. I am sure it is easy but I just cant work out how to do it.
Thanks very much

Merging Databases
Oct 25, 2007Hello-
We are using an Access database for off-site data entry. We therefore have one master database we keep in the office and then a "template" version -which is identical to the master version except no records - we bring to each site, do the data entry and then merge that data back into the Master database.
Can anyone help suggest ways to make the data merging process more efficient. The database has approx 12 tables, so I dont' want to create an append query for each one every time. Is there a way to just "merge" two identical databases??
THANKS
