I need to create a database of the info of a few hundred companies. Each company (food producers) specializes in various product categories, not just one. This is my problem/question: each company entry should then have a possibility to have as many product categories as needed. How can I do this without using "free text" fields? The website user should obviously also be able to search the db - by clicking checkboxes with the categories maybe?
(+Also: When the admin user needs to add the info of a new company (with, say, 9 product types) into the database, what kind of an SQL clause I need to INSERT INTO the db? For example if the product categories where laid out as checkboxes, and the user would just click the ones he wants.)
I am implementing a new database (Access 2000) for my company.
It contains contact details of a subscription base.
Four tables are present MEMBER, ORGANISATION, EVENTS and CATEGORY.
My problem is; people attend events, and i want to record this in the database. Each event has an event ID field, and an event description field.
When recording the events which people attend, i could just use the event ID field, but problem is that people can obviously attend more than one event..
Also;
People belong to a certain category
Again i have a category ID field, but people can belong to more than one category.
I've built a contacts database which consists of one table containing contacts and services provided and a table with a list of categories, each has a PK autonumber id field. My problem is that individual contacts could fall into multiple categories, could somebody tell me how to do this.
- Category (A, B, C) - Family (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, etc) - Item - Sales
I'm looking for a way to get the top 10 items in each category + family based on sales (ie: top 10 in A-A1, then A-A2, then A-A3, etc). When I try using the top function, it doesn't treat each category + family combination as unique. Any ideas?
So I have a form that has a sub form on it (based off of a junction table), indicating which category a particular project belongs to. It can belong to multiple categories:
ProjectID 100 Category Admin Finance
But I want to run a query to find all of the projects that are both admin and finance. When I do that now, it comes up as two separate records in the query, which is fine... but I have to know the projects before hand to find if it's in both, because it returns heaps of records, anything that says admin or finance... and that defeats the whole purpose. I want the query to show me JUST the projects that have both of those in their subform..
Suppose I receive boxes and store them in a room. Each box can contain items that are either shaped as cubes or spheres and I have to allow for the addition of more shapes in the future, but only one shape can be in each box. Each box contains a random number of shapes and two boxes may, or may not, contain the same number of shapes as another.Cubes can be either Red or Green, Spheres can be either Blue or Yellow.
I wish to set, and have the ability to change, how many cubes and how many spheres, on a percentage basis, I wish to have (e.g., 60% Cubes and 40% spheres).I also wish to set, and have the ability to change, what percentage of cubes I want to be Red and Green and which percentage of Spheres I wish to be Blue and Yellow (e.g., Cubes -Red 70%, Yellow 30% )
e.g. -- I have several boxes totaling:
Cubes Red 30 Green 40
Spheres Blue 10 Yellow 20
My goal is to produce three reports.The first report would provide the Target and Actual number of Cubes and Spheres expressed as a Value and %. The #'s would simply be calculated from my desired % . So, if I wanted to have 60% cubes and I had 100 Shapes, my target # would be 60. If I had 200 Shapes it would be 120. (i.e., The actual number of shapes I have is simply a factor of how many I receive and I have no control over this.)
The First Report would look like this
Target % - Actual % - Target # - Actual #
Cubes 60% 70% 60 70 Spheres 40% 30% 40 30
The second and third reports would be the same format but would break down cubes into red and green and spheres into blue and yellow.I can accomplish the Report that breaks down the shapes but I am running into problems with the next level as I need the total number of shapes and the the total number of only Cubes or Spheres to insert into the expressions.
I am trying to put together a database that tracks individual clients and what products they selected for a finance company. I have setup the CLIENTS list but because each client will have different (and multiple) services I wanted to add the SERVICES list as a separate item and then link each product to the individuals that each record relates to. There may also be two clients on the one product so again it would be ideal if the product (i.e a Home Loan product) was setup in the SERVICES list, and then I could link One or Two clients to that individual mortgage record using their data which is stored in the CLIENTS list.
I was creating a access web app for my company and want to create a data for its product. Each product will have multiple colors and different material are used for each color. The number of colorways for a product varies.
We want to be able to select a product and a lookup field will appears for us to choose its colorway.
I am looking for a way to have different prices saved for each individual client.
I would have one main price list but i want to set certain items to have special prices for different clients. How is this possible in Access in excel its so simple.
I have a transactions table which records a qty number (- or +) and references particular location details (location, room, rack, shelf etc). My question is how do I sum the qty for the same product at different locations. So my user sees that product A has a qty of X in location C and qty Y in location D. I can sum the transactions table qty which does give me a sum based on a single location but each location has multiple racks, shelves etc. I need to know the sum of transactions for the same product for exactly the same location, room rack etc
What I have is a table that contains plant info (plants that produce a product not vegetation plants). I also have a table that contains all the fields related to the products themselves. Finally I have a third table that contains the constituent items that make up products (think raw ingredients if you will). I have various junction tables set up to define relationships between all these.
What I'm trying to do is create a way of inputting a product and having an option on the form to send that product information to multiple plants. I don't know why but I cannot visualize an approach to doing this.
I have the following form and subform combination:
The subform is linked to the main form by way of the "ProductID" control. (It's hidden in the subform).
Basically, each product (the finished article) is made up of many components.
What I would like to do is this:
1. Increase the stock of a "Product". 2. The Stock level control on the main form will then increment as much as selected 3. Contrary to that, I would like each component to decrement the relevant amount based on how much of the component is used up to make the product.
E.g. If I have Product A and it contains 2 components of which component A is used once per product but component B is used twice, then when I increase stock of product by 1, then component A goes down by 1 and component B goes down by 2. But If I put two of a product in to stock, I would obviously need component A to go down by 2 but component B to go down by 4.
I am thinking I need some way to loop through each record in the sub form for the current form, such as "Do While Not", or a "For Each". And then stick an Update query within the loop, but to be honest I can't think of how I need to address it!
I'm very new to Access, having used it for the first time today :)
I've got a database to write for a media database as a learning example and I've run into my first real problem...
I've got a table for users and I've got to allow users to be able to own one or more media types, e.g. CD, DVD, video, record, etc. Of these types, there are sub-categories for most of them. For example, a DVD may be a horror film, action film or music video, and a CD may be hip-hop, rock or blues, etc.
I thought I could have a reference data table containing a category ID and category value, together with a reference data category table which simply listed the categories. This would work fine if a user could only have one type of media but of course they can have several. So, I thought about having a "composite category" instead which would contain a category, whether it contained a sub-category and a sub-category ID. I'm trying to get my head round this and wondered if this must surely be a fairly common issue to solve. Does anyone know of any pointers or any examples I could do with looking at?
Okay here is my silly little issue, my boss decided to add sub categories, just when I get the database set-up. Table 1 Category Category_ID Category_Name
Table 2 Sub_Category SUb_Category_Name
Table 3 Contacts Company Contact Adress Ect Ect
I would like to be able to have each contact grouped by category, then sub category..but I am not sure how to get the relationship to work.
My company rents equipment to our customers. I am looking for a db to track our stuff. There are three possible locations of everything. Warehouse, employee trucks, and Customers. I assume that warehouse can be added to the employee table. I can set up these 2 tables and one for our equipment list, but the hardest thing I am having with is with the table for transactions(I believe it should be a table), this needs to allow batch transations, because typically more than one piece of equipment is moved at a time.
I will need a report that will show each equipment id number in a customers home from date to date (date it was placed and date it was removed), one that will show a list of all equipment locations on a given date, and one more that will show equipment that has been in a customers house for 5 days or more so I can verify that it is still there, becuase equipment typically should never be with a customer for more than 5 days.
Right now I am using excel, but its not working well. I would greatly appreciate some help! The attachment only has the info I need for the 3 tables I mentioned above that I know how to do, and my best guess at what the transaction table should look like.
I am working on a database to list all the inkjet cartridges we sell. Within the printer table, I want to list which category they are on our website. For example, Epson C20 Printer would be in Ink & Toner > Epson > Inkjet > Stylus C & CX Series.
I what some way to enter these in a number of fields, say Cat1, Cat2 etc. I havent a cluw what would be the best way to do this? Has anyone got any ideas? I am thinking about some kind of drill down but wouldnt know where to start on this. Any help would be gratefully received?
I'm wondering how to design an Access database with the same type of structure as "Yahoo Shopping!". The Yahoo site allows search for women's clothing or men's clothing or all clothing...please explain how the relationships are structured.
Is it just one category table with queries that display results of a search of multiple categories? How do I structure it in Access queries and forms?
I have a database that controls donations for a Charity. There is to be a sister charity added to the database and a lot of the previously created objects can be used to provide for the new Charity. My idea was to create a "company" ID and label the categories of the donations. I could then use this company ID to identify to whom the data captured belongs.
I have used the switchboard manager to enable navigation, in this I have a ONload event procedure that requests the Company ID (1 or 2). That's as far as I have got.
How would I get Switchboard to open each form (some being based on queries - a couple direct on the tables) and filter the data on the company ID?
If there is a better way, please enlighten me!! :)
Hello All, I've searched and searched and can't find anything but it might be because I'm not sure what to search for.
Here is what I'm trying to do. (I'm simplifying this to make it easier to discuss) I have a table that looks like this: Company Date Sales 1 5/5/07 $1,200.00 1 6/5/07 $4,200.00 1 7/5/07 $2,200.00 1 8/5/07 $4,300.00 2 5/5/07 $1,200.00 2 6/5/07 $4,200.00 2 7/5/07 $2,200.00 2 8/5/07 $9,200.00 2 9/5/07 $1,200.00
I need to run a query that grabs the last 3 months for each company.
So the correct output from the above table would be: Company Date Sales 1 6/5/07 $4,200.00 1 7/5/07 $2,200.00 1 8/5/07 $4,300.00 2 7/5/07 $2,200.00 2 8/5/07 $9,200.00 2 9/5/07 $1,200.00
Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure this has been asked in the past so even if you could help me with a keyword to search for, I would be greatful.
Result I get which I don't want What I want is the last table Order2.OrderQty Order2.Company Order# Order1.OrderQty Order1.Company 3 abc AAA 3 abc 3 abc AAA 12 abc 7 Oop BBS 8 Oop 12 abc AAA 3 abc 12 abc AAA 12 abc
Through word of mouth I hear that you can creat a link that can go from Access and link to the personal company system. Is this true? If it is, is there a standard code to use?
