I have 3 comboboxes and one button in a form. When I click on the button, it generates a querry based on the criterias selected in all the 3 comboboxes.
the generated querry gives an output something like this..
Indicateur | value1 | value2 | value3 |........... | value n
Now I want to display this selected criteria in a tabular format !!! I can use a subform, which I have used in many other forms as well, but my problem is that the querry generates different number of records everytime (as I have shown above, 'n' can have any value.) So I have to create textboxes dynamically in the form and do all sort of complex coading. I want to escape that and do something not too complex.
So I want Ideas on how do I do that? Maybe use pivot table? but I don't know how to use it and link to a table in my database??
I'm still very new to Access....and learning it's strengths and weaknesses. A thought occurred to me today. Currently you have to build tables and set up relationships between them in order for 'searching' or 'querying' to work effectively.
Surely...it would make sense to develop a 3D database application..ie x,y,z axis in a table. That could eliminate the need for relationships between tables, as all of your data could potentially sit in one table (or at least reduce the number of tables required in a large database).
Does anyone know if this has been considered (I'm sure I'm not the first) or if there have been serious attempts at developing the concept into an application?
I am designing part of my database to simply the production of predictable quotations. (and have been for the last 6 months). My quotations tend to be for one product whose price varies based on the number of software licences. In each quote there will be the price for the software and the price for installation.
I will have a TblItems. In that table will be all of the items available for quotations and may include, for example, the following
Group (5 User system) Item, Description, Price, cost
In this group there will be two matching items
On my quote form i want to have a drop down field which will allow mw to simply select the number of users and then i want Access to take any item which belongs to the 'number of users selected' to another table and i will then include a quoteID etc etc.
Can anyone advise me on, the main thing, the kind of database concept on how to achieve this please? :confused:
I have been asked to create an RDB for my homeowners association that has 420 lots. That number, and the addresses, will never change. The purpose of the DB is to contain contact data between the homeowners to the association. I thought I would use 3 tables to do this:
tLots (lotID, name, address,etc.) PK=lotID Relationship: 1 lotID to many caseIDs
tCase (caseID, lotID, type, date, status, detailID) PK=caseID Relationship: 1 caseID to many detailIDs
I would also create pass-thru queries for these 3 tables on which to base my input form and my reports.
I have done a 2-level input form (i.e. the top half shows data from tLot and the bottom half shows a table with data from tCase, but I draw a blank how to show data from tDetails in the form. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Like maybe there is a sample of this already built somewhere that I could modify? I'm using Access 2000.
i need a db to monitor attendance (I know there are examples that do this but I need to satisfy my own curiosity and haven't seen one exactly like i need). My plan is to set-up the tables as below. I now have one-to-many relationships. There are many students. each student will study many courses.
I would like a form that shows the student info and a subform that shows all the courses they are on and weeks 1 -10. i could then use the yes/no attribute to record an abscence. later i would then need a query to see which students had missed two weeks in a row or more than 3 in total.
I think i need a form bound to tblStudents with a subform control that is displaying a form that is bound to tblStudentCourse. i am then a bit stuck as i need another form that will display the course records for each student. am i off track??? any ideas would be great. thanks.
Is there a way mimic the vlookup function of Excel in Access using SQL? What I am trying to do is create a table with planning values and based on the field title to grab a particular value in the two-column table.
I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.
Hi, looking for help big time!! I am a novice at using MS Access and struggling like hell. I have been set a project at University that requires me to import data from Excel, sort the data (i.e the data imported will be for a whole year and I am only interested in looking at single months), use calculations on the data imported and display this graphically. Is this possible with Access?? Any help will be gladly received as Im desperate.:(
I have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?
Sorry, i dont know where should i post this( under which category)
so i just post it here,
I want to create a login page using access, and then i wanted to record down the name of the user and the time and date(login and log out) when he/she is using the database.
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
So far I haven’t got help on my DB. I am attaching my DB. The DB has two tables: DiaryTable & RBCaseTable I want to resolve two issues on this DB
First issue: The DyNo field will start from No.1 on new year (DMax function). Since there will be duplicate records with the same DyNo for every year, I want to filter the records year-wise. For the current year, I should be able to do data entry, edit, search, print etc. For the previous year’s records, no data entry should be allowed and only search and print to be allowed.
Second issue: Two fields in both the tables are same i.e. DyNo and Remarks. I want this to be linked. What I want to do is that after I open ‘frmRBCaseAdd’ when I type the DyNo, the form should show the ‘Remarks’ field of DiaryTable so that I could update/edit.
I know nothing about VBA coding etc. Whatever codes I put in this DB was obtained from this forum and I simply made changes to suit my requirements. However, I failed to get help on these two issues. I shall be grateful if you could kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).
2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).
3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)
4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).
I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.
Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.
Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.
