Computer Disposal Best Practice: Table To Store Retired Hardware?
Jun 27, 2007
Hi guys. I have been working on a database to store network information, computers, software etc......
I have a table (tblComputers). I allocate computers to users on the network.
My question. When they come to the end of their shelf life I have the option to delete them from the database. However once deleted I will have no record of them. So I thought......would it be better to create a seperate table and move them there, or add an additional check box within tblComputers 'Retired' then add some code to prevent allocation?
Advice warmly received as always.
Phil.

A developer where I am contracted to constructs his If statements like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
Instead of like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
End If
All on one line and no end if needed. I didn't even know that would work.
Is this good or bad practice from a coding standpoint? Any Pitfalls?
Thanks

Deal All
I've got some simple charts to do in Access. They are working fine - except for the Legends.
The problem is that my table (on which the charts are based) is fed by Combo boxes which populate the table with codes, rather than a descriptor.
For example, the combo box on the input form displays two columns
5 | Excellent
4 | Very Good
3 | Average
2 | Not good
1 | Poor
0 | Don't know
..but populates the table only with the numbers 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0.
Consequently, the legend in my graph only displays the numbers - when I would really like the Words.
What's the best way round this?

Hi All,
I'm a relative newbie to Access - I am wondering the best way to solve a problem. I am the admin for a database used to track projects and the quality control process. With this process we must keep up with the review of another database, the pieces of information entered which are erroneous and when the individual responsible corrects the data. To date, the errors have been manually typed into a memo field which is then pushed out to the end user in a report. The errors are very consistent and I want to create functionality that will allow me to select the errors (there are approximately 50 standard errors) from a list or using a button or whatever is wisest. Basically, I would love some best practice opinion here as I am totally stymied at this point.
Any advice for a weary admin?

Hello,
I'm creating a simple relational database of all the attorneys our company work with. I'd like to have three tables: "Law Firms" (firm name & other info), "Attorneys" (what firm, personal info, and what practice groups s/he is involved in), and lastly "Practice Areas" (all different practice areas with codes).
Now, my issue is that people are usually involved in multiple practice areas. Thus, I can't just put a code for one practice area in "Attorneys" table, but I can't put multiple codes in either in one field (right?) because it'd mess up the relations.
What I'd like to accomplish is for people to be able to go to our intranet and, using a form (?), select a law firm and a practice group and get a list of attorneys.
Does anyone know of a good way to solve this? It doesn't have to be pretty, since the DB isn't going to be huge (2000-2500 records).
Thank you!

I am just wondering if theres a way I can create a customise database for my workplace. We are looking at replacing the old record cards that sit on the desk that records each clients visit and the price they paid. We do use MYOB for all our accounting etc but we are wondering if there is a way that we can create a database that enables us to record the date and price paid for each visit for every individual client?

I am newbie to access database, I have 2 tables namely business_unit(id,b_unit) and division(id(pk), bid(fk),division) . I have created 2 combo box in my form one for b_unit and another division, based on the selection of b_unit the related division will be loaded in division.
If i try to store the b_unit and division value from the form to the table called "training" it stores only both of the field ID's not its value.
I execute this query ,
Private Sub Command12_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO training(business_unit,division)" & _
"values(" & Me.business_unit & ",'" & Me.division & " ')"
End Sub

I have form with student details on it and I want to add some additional information against that student (stored in a seperate table). I've created a form to input the data and a button on the main form to open the new form.
On loading the form I've brought with it the name of the student but I also want the UPN. I've done all the above fine.
What I need to do is then store the UPN in a field in the new table which is where I'm stuck.
What do I put in the Control source to make it store it. Currently I just have
=[Forms]![PupilPremiumStudents]![txtUPN]

I have my Jobs form which has a sub-form for all the different parts used on that job which then calculates the total charge and displays this on the main jobs form. Now how would I get this value to be stored in table tblJobs on the record where the ID = JobID on Jobs form. I need to do this to display the total on a report.
Looked around and couldn't find what I was looking for, is there a visual basic command to set it then I can use docmd.saverecord after or what would I need to do?
Or is there an SQL statement to do this I could execute on a button click or something similar?

If I have a DB with several tables containing thousands of records, and most of those records only ever need say 8 characters, does anyone know if changing the field size from default 255 chars to 8 chars will actually benefits the the DB?
Potential benefits I'm thinking may occur are reduced filesize and maybe some speed?

I'm attempting to normalize an enormous table with order data, but I'm running into some problems. The table currently contains many duplicates, of which also included the actual order information (yikes!), but I managed to normalize it almost all the way down. It appears that different accounts can be used on orders, and these order numbers are being recycled for some reason months down the line (don't ask my why they're reusing them for future orders because I have no idea either, they should be creating new order numbers). Of course, the Order number is the primary key in my table as it should be. I guess the same thing can occur with the sales rep. Anyway, I'm struggling to find the "best practice way" to deal with this situation. I'm almost tempted to create an intermediary "transaction table" or something like that between the main general order information (which at this point will basically be the Order Number and Customer ID only), then include a table with the account information and sales rep info, then have that link to the Order Detail with the products, quantity, order number and various dates for those order numbers. Order maybe it should be a separate, related table, but not between the general order information and the order details? Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track for this situation? It was a total curveball that the rep and account information could be different on these orders.
Option 1:
Order (Order #, Customer) -> Transaction Information (Order #, Account Type, Sales Person) -> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)
Option 2:
Order (Order #, Customer)---> Transaction Information (Order #, Account
| Type, Sales Person)
|
|-> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)

This is either a no brainer or falls into the calculated field syndrome.
My HR database stores Employee job history records. I display the current job (condition Null EndDate) in a subform. I would like to store the Division ID of this Job in the Employees Record, to make it easier to create Divisional reports. I am able to display the value by setting the Data Source to the subform field name value, but it won't write the value to the table. I have to manually type it in. There's definately some learnin' here!
Thanks for listenin':)

I am trying to get a value from a textbox into a table I created...
The textbox "calculates a number based on which radio button is pressed example if radio button 1 is pressed it returns 0 if radio button two is pressed it returns 8 and if radio button 3 is pressed it returns 15." I need to save the 0,8, or 15 depending on which radio button is pressed into the table...
I know you aren't supposed to store calculated values into a table but the report would never need to be changed and it just saves a new one each time with that being said anyway to make this work would be very useful!
Also how can you use the answer of calculated textboxs in other calculations?

I am trying to see if it is possible to store colors in a form or table and then reference them while in VBA. What I am hoping to do is when I write all my code for command buttons to change On Got Focus, instead of writing xxx.backcolor = RGB (255,255,255) i could do something like xxx.backcolor = Forms!HiddenColors!Command That way if i want to ever change the color scheme of the db, I can change it in one place rather than hunt lines of code.

I managed to count the performance of users. The only thing I need to do is to put the names of the users on the form (under different tab) so I can select them and they show their performance. The best would that they are showing up there in the form till I change the names. I use now a text field to write the name, but when I close the database and open, I need to add the name again.
If I could use somehow the names from the users stored in a table, that would be great.

I am a beginner working with access (2013). I am looking for a way to retrieve data from one table and store these values in a other table. The tables are in the same database.
For example:
Table 1
Input [OrderNr]
Input [Nr] (linked to Table 2 [ID]
Input [Amount]
From Table 2
Get [Product]
Get [Unit]
Get [Price]
[TotalPrice] =[Amount] * [Price]
The result should be wiewed as a datasheet.
Problem 1
I have made the form and the links between the tables and it works alright on screen. Except the sum-function It does not work. I can only get the amount of items in the summery field for column TotalPrice. Is it because it is a column for calculated values? Other columns including not calculated numeric values works alright with the sum-function.
Problem 2
The data from table2 will not be stored in table 1

I'm having some trouble getting my information that I input on my form to store in my correct table. I will attach my DB so you can take a look at what I have thus far.
Here is what I am wanting to do:
I have TblEmployee, TblEquipment and TblJunction and FrmTracking and FrmUpdate
I input the bulk of my information thru FrmTracking, my trouble is I can not seem to get the information that I input in my FrmTracking to store in the correct table. I can get the information to store in TblEmployee, however the information that I want to be stored in TblEquipment will not store in there.

I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code:
Public Function Inputdata()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim r As Long
Dim i As Integer
[code]...
