Any way, im not nearly as experience as all you, I have a small form, on the form I have a combo box, the form shows the relevant info with regards to what is selected in the combo box, the source of the combo box is a table, the data in the table is alaphabetical, but when you select the combo box the data shown to select from is not alphabetical its all over the place!
I can't figure this out! My user wants a combo box with the Rec ID, Item Description, and Item Number. When she selects the Item Description, she wants only the Item Number to appear in the combo box, not the description.
This would be easy if she wanted the list to have the Item Number next to the rec ID, but that's not how she wants it to appear. Can you please help?
Hi, i have created two tables, containing the same fields. One table if for '1 day tests' and the other is for '2 day tests'. I need to keep these two in seperate tables.
At the moment i have two seperate forms, one for each type of test, but as the fields are all the same, i was wondering if i had a combo box, so the user could choose whether they wanted a one day or two day test and filled in the rest of the fields, the record would then be stored in the appropriate table. Ie 2 day test table, if the chose 2 day test on the combo box
I have two date and time fields which format are like: 15/09/05 09:48:43,I have another field which calculates the time difference between these two fields. I am doing a calculation on the time difference field and want the time to be displayed as for example 03:00, but at the moment it just shows 3:00.
This is the control source which has some formatting in it:
I've tried every way i can, and i cant get the rowsource query right.
If someone could look at this and post a fix, so that when one uses the "training record" form it allows you only to select course dates that are already in the tbl_course_dates table.
I'm trying to create a little dbase for personal keeping track of a number of companies I deal with, so that i store their details and also the products they distribute. In more detail, I want to have 'fixed' product categories, which will be assigned to supplier, and each category will include the product models I have set, including their details (such as price, manufacturer, country of origin, etc).
My point is to be able to create several customised reports and listing: 1. All product models I have in a category including their details. 2. Report per supplier to view their details and the products they distribute 3. Certain product models in a list with their local distributor (companies I deal with).
I assume it involves a couple of many2many relationships, however I have created a file in MS Access but never managed to have it work properly.
I want to delete a relationship temporarily so that I can delete a record. After the record is deleted I will restore the relationship immediately. But I am concerned that this will ruin any queries I have already established or ruin my other records. Could you let me know if this is possible without making a mess of things that have already been established.
I have pasted the code that SJ posted on another thread that any changes to a record will ask the user to save before closing the form, this located in the beforeupdate event.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If MsgBox("Save changes?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Cancel = True End Sub
The problem i am getting is that if the user selects no it pops up another message saying "You can't save the record at this time" followed by a description. How do i prevent this second message appearing i cannot find a thread with this in?
I have a table linked to an SQL Server table in my MS Access 2000 Application containing 5 text-fields (SQL Server Type, in Access seen as MEMO-fields) and several other fields (in total about 140 fields). Updating any field works fine except for some records. In those records I can only edit the non-text-fields in my application. When I try to edit one of the text-fields I get a error message telling me that another user has edited the record and i have to discard my changes.
The strange thing is that this problem only crops up for some records. (1 in a 100 or so) All other records work fine.
Does anyone know what happens here? And how this can be fixed?
Please can you guys give me some basic help, im pulling my hair out over this one!
Attached is a test database which im writing at work, what I would like to happen is that when a new machine ID is selected from the drop down box (combo box) all the relevant fields update with all the information in them.
Please could somebody download my test database have a quick look, see if they can sort it for me then upload it back and explain how they did it.
I am trying to create a database for our organization that will keep track of our "Gift Fund". I have a table with all of our personnel that includes all of their basic info with a customer ID field as the PK. I then have a table that is for all of the transactions. Deposits, withdrawls, description, date, customer ID to relate the two tables and transaction ID as the PK.
So we have a table with our personnel and a table to record transactions. Transactions occur anytime we put money in or take money out as well as when one of our personnel becomes a member of this fund by paying their "dues".
I have created a form to update our personnel table. It works fine. I also have a form to enter basic transactions. It also works fine. My problem lies where I try to make a form that will add a member to this fund (which in the personnel table is a yes/no checkbox) at the same time entering this as a transaction. Ideally the form would have the user pick personnel from a drop down list, click the yes/no checkbox making them a member and then entering their "dues" as a transaction.
Ultimately I would like to be able present this info in several dif reports showing all the silly statistics that boss' love to see.
Any help would be appreciated and if I have left out any key info, let me knw and I will be more specific.
Having read many posts here regarding normalization, table designs with a view to avoiding duplication of data, avoiding storing of calculated contols into a field in a table (duplication as well as danger of keeping data updated, etc) - I would like to clarify something...
I've designed 2 databases, one sticking to the rules and one breaking them...
I hear the 'don't store' - calculate on demand principle - and this works well in the case of closing a new record where you 'store' a value by passing a subtotal from a subform to a field in the main form. All that passing of values works but there are time delays. Look at the time delay of summing a range of values in a form footer...bout half a second in general...So in this case, storing values fails...(incidentally is there an 'event' for this time delay a calculated control takes to show it's value in a form? - OnErrorCausedByDelayOfCalculatedControlToDisplayIt 'sValue?? Oops ignore the apostrophe ;-).....).
On the other hand you may want to work through many thousands of records, summarising all your data into reports, charts, etc...It just seems that if you stored each records 'total' (say an invoice total) it would be quicker for to work through thousands of 'ready stored numbers' rather than thousands of 'calculations to get those numbers'...or maybe I'm missing something!?
Sorry for all the fuss, but I'm self taught and I wish I wasn't LOL. I shoulda definitely done college instead of getting hooked on databases in my 30's)
And I'm also sorry if this question has been asked before, even under different wording...
A family is to enter basic income and expenses data comprising of date, description, catagory and price. The family don't work on a budget that is lost at the end of the month if it is not used, but rather it accumulates in each allocated catagory. example: Money not spent on a 'holiday' this month will build up each month in the 'holiday' catagory until it is spent.
They need to enter data. Query, add, modify, and delete records. Also, to print simple reports.
1. Is this a big project for a novice? 2. What exactly is required to be done? i.e What do you suggest I need? 3. Would it be better to buy SimplyAccounting Basic if it did the job?
I have written a basic query that looks at the date field, department field and cost the cost field on a table. What I would like is a form that you can chose a date (19/09/2005) and a it looks at the table and calculates the total sum of money for each department for this date. Ie.
Hello all This is a pretty basic query I guess but I am having trouble solving this.. Can anyone help plsssssssss. I have two tables Table1 Code Serial_No Amount1 Amount2 1 ABC 100 200 1 ABC 720 220 4 ABC 150 112 9 PQR 11 25 9 ZZZ 122 44 9 ZZZ 1250 42
Table2 Code Serial_No Amount1 Amount2 1 ABC 24 20 1 PPP 72 22 4 ABC 15 12 9 PQR 11 54 9 ZZZ 22 44 9 ZZZ 150 99 and total of the amount as 844 and 440
I have write a query to select only the Code common to both the tables and add total of amounts for these codes. For eg. I want rows Outpput 1 ABC 100 200 1 ABC 720 220
I have two tables: A & B, and I want to join the two by a common field, and only add one field from B to the A table (based on the common field). How do I accomplish this?
I'm trying to understand queries a little better -
If I have a query linked to a Report does the query run first - then open the report? It's just that If I make a new entry to a table the query seems not to be showing the new entry.
Secondly there are different types of query - what are they for? EG Updat Append etc
Hi, Many thanks to those who helped with my last couple of problems.
I've allmost completed my project now and am debugging.
I've found that in order to close one of my forms, which has combo boxes on it, I need to have no values selected in those combo boxes. Could someone give me the visual basic script (or any alternative meathod) for resetting the combo boxes to their default values; i.e. nothing selected in them!
I have a table with eight fields. I want to do a chart where I the piles are "tighten" togther two and two. I would like the chart to look something like this (Example):
