Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can do the following without using code: I think it's really easy, and am sure I've done it hundreds of times before, but my minds gone blank...
When I select an entry from a combo box in a form, I'd like a related entry to appear in another field on the same form. I have a table with the both fields stored in it, although theres only 3 records so this might not be necessary.
Many thanks,
Nicola
I have a combobox on my form with fields related to it (ie. when an option is chosen in the drop-down, the next two fields are also populated with data based on the selection made - I know this is duplication of data, it's just the way the 'powers that be' wanted it. I'm changing it in my next version of the database!)
The two fields that are populated as a result of the selection in the combobox are migrating into the related table fine, but the actual selection in the combobox isn't - it's showing up as blank in each new record in the table.
Hi im stuck on filtering a combo box (i am using an sql query to populate a combo box with a filtered selection, this is in Access but im after some design sanity checking). I have users who can be assigned a category. Jobs can be assigned a category and also have a list of people working on that job (in the JobDetails table). I have the following tables:
Categories Table:
CategoryID (PK)
Description
Users Table:
UserID (PK)
Username
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
Jobs Table:
JobID (PK)
CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
JobDetails Table:
JobID (FK on Jobs.JobID)
UserID (FK on Users.UserID)
Then in the job details when listing users for a job (many users can be for one job) i would like to only show the users which have the same category as the jobs category. Is this possible? i tried the SQL below for the lookup column field JobDetails.UserID but it doesnt work:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.CategoryID
FROM Users, Jobs
WHERE (((Users.CategoryID)=[Jobs].[CategoryID]));
All the tables are linked with relationships but my SQL isnt so hot!
Any ideas as to how i would do this and get it working?
Even if it can be done, is this even recommended? I can see funny conditions happening if the job details category changes or the users category changes then even if they are existing in the job details list they will not be shown? Even so, i would be interested in the above to know how it is done (if possible).
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I have Table Products and Table Types. I've created another one ProductTypeRef where i save the references. For example:
Products
Id Description
1 Shoes
2 Clothes
3 Hats
Types
Id Description
1 Athletic
2 T-Shirts
3 Trousers
ProductTypeRef
IdProducts IdTypes
1 1
2 2
2 3
I have two combo boxes, Products and Types. How can i relate these two combo boxes?I mean if the user choose Shoes from product combo box, he'll get (as a choice) only the Athletic (or all the available values for the Shoes product) from the types combo boxes.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Hello folks!
I've got a problem between a form and report, hope the fellows can give me a big hand!
Here i have a PO form with a combo box where i choose a "staff name" from a list (rowsource select from "staff name" table, there are "key" & "staff name"). The combo box would be filled or left blank.
Then a PO report would be generated, certainly the staff name would appear on it.
Problem 1 is, i want to show the name on report, while only the key is entered in PO form.
Problem 2 is, i cannot simply add "staff name" table into "PO" query, otherwise "PO" without "staff name" won't be shown. what i mean is, so far I can't make both "staff name" key and name appear in PO form.
Thanks you!!!
I have a feeling this is a common and probably easy question, but I couldn't find anything on it in the forums.
I have a main customer form with multiple subforms on it to keep track of my clients insurance policies and claims. I enter their contact data in the main form, and the policy data on one of the subforms. Then when they have a claim, I enter the policy information on the claim subform as well.
How could I have the combo boxes in the claims subform (which is storing data in a claims table) only show the policy numbers (stored in a policies table) assigned to that particular person? I would assume I need to somehow filter the policies query so it only shows records for that particular person, but I'm not sure how to do that on the fly.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).
View 14 Replies View RelatedIn my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
Hello
Could you help me ?
My problem is :
I'm developing a ms database for the a "repair service" .
I created a table witch contains basic data from customer, including its unique ID number (key field), name and contacts ...
Now I need to store the "repair service" data from each costumer ( its time consumption, replaced materials...) in a separate table but, If I'm thinking well, I must have a table for each costumer so, I will need to link each individual "repair service" data table from each costumer to each costumer itself.
Do you know how to do this ?
Lots of thanks in advance,
Miguel
In a case where two tables are related, can the field names which relate them be the same? Or is it necessary to use different field names?

I have a table that I'm storing Horsepower and Watt in. Is there anyway to set it up so that when I provide Horsepower it automatically populates Watts? (just a simple multiplication)

I am creating a form that is bound to the main table in my database.
However, I want to show one field from another table on the form that is linked to the main table (one-to-many relationship). I would do this using a sub-form but I also want the form to be a continuous form (as this has been asked form from on high) and Access won’t let me have a sub form if the main form is continuous.
Is there any other way that I can show the related field?
I have 2 related tables by ID field.
In a subform I have all fields of a one table, when I make click in a button, open other form with info related by these ID.
All is ok but I have some doubts:
If in the second form (second table) there is no registers, how could shows me the ID by default and that the ID field is not empty
If I create a new register inside second form with a button, I would like that the ID field was always filled because the user don't need to know the ID.
Hi,
Need some help. Here's the problem:-
I've two fields in a table (A & B)
A B
1 Null
2 Null
3 1
4 2
5 3
6 5
7 Null
8 4
9 6
The fields are somehow related where values of B (unique) is taken from A(unique).
I trying to do an SQL such that if I input a single value A=9 or 6 or 5 or 3 or 1, the following should be the output:
A B
9 6
6 5
5 3
3 1
1 Null
Or in another case where I input a single value A=8 or 4 or 2
the following should be the output:
A B
8 4
4 2
2 Null
How can I do that? Many thanks in advance!! :D

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn a form of mine, I have the user input other person's initials, but I don't want those initials showing up on the report. It's a set group of initials to work with so I have each set associated with a random 3 digit number (that I input into the table myself). I'd like to be able to have the person input the initials in the form, but have the numbers display on the report, I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can I include a field from a table in to a query - that has no relationship?
For example...
The 'Despatch' field is in a seperate table called 'Product', because we despatch multiple products for any ONE order at different times, so it needs to be against the Product and not the full job itself.However, when I include the 'Product' table into the query and insert the 'Despatch' field into my query, and run it comes up with an error...
"The SQL Statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguouse outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a seperate query that performs the first join and then iclude that query in your SQL statement". Here's the current SQL statement
Code:
SELECT [Materials Requested].[Job No], [Materials/Orders].Total, Jobs.[Project Name], Product.Despatch
FROM Product, Orders INNER JOIN (((Customer RIGHT JOIN Jobs ON Customer.[Customer ID] = Jobs.[Customer ID]) INNER JOIN [Materials Requested] ON Jobs.[Job No] = [Materials Requested].[Job No]) INNER JOIN [Materials/Orders] ON [Materials Requested].[Materials Requested ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Materials Requested ID]) ON Orders.[Orders ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Orders ID];
I have a table that lists classes available (tblCourses); one that lists class dates (tblDates) and another that lists employees (tblEmployees). I have a fourth table that combines that data into classes taken by the employee (tblTraining). I have a form to input the employee's training with combobox fields for the COURSETITLE and CLASSDATE. I want the CLASSDATE field to only display the dates available for the specific class that was selected. How do I do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my query, I have several results that relate to the same PK overall, and I'd like to concatenate these records into one expression/one field in a form.
Currently my query looks like this;
As you can see, the BandPK/BandFK are repeated where the GenreFK/GenrePK are different. What I'd like to do is concatenate the column named Genres into one field so the BandFK/PK isn't repeated.
I have a list of class sessions. To help with maintaining attendance, each session has its own roster. I just need to add a functionality so user can make sure the attendance roster is synchronized with the past sessions and future sessions in events of last minute additions/drop or updating names/contact infos. The sessions are related to themselves as below:
ClassID PreviousClassID
1 Null
2 1
3 2
4 Null
5 4
So therefore to propagate the changes into all sessions how would I instruct the query to look for each related ID then checks if it's also related...
I'm thinking I may have to use VBA to do what, but I hope that can be done with a append query.
Thanks!
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
Can someone see where I’m going wrong?

how to write code to open a second form on the click of a button on the first form and specifically to continue on the record set I am focusing on.
I have 2 tables. The first is tblAccount (fields: AccountID [the PK]; AccountHolder) and the 2nd is tblUser (fields: UserID [the PK]; UserName; AccountID). They are linked so that one account can have multiple users. Each has a respective form; frmAccount and frmUser.
My goal is that once the AccountHolder field has been populated in frmAccount I can click a button to open frmUser with the AccountID field already showing in the form header.
I have managed to do something similar by selecting from a combo box before but I am having trouble making this work after directly populating the AccountHolder field and using an open Form button.
I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables:
* Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player)
* Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box)
* Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box
* Venue - similar to Competition table
* Opponent - Similar to above two tables
* Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms:
* Player form
* Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
I’m 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. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
fkEmpID
tblEmployee
EmpID
EmpName
[code]....
What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.
I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:
Code:
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent1],[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent2])
But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?
