=Count([Exiting Staff Data].[Follow up required]="Yes")
And using dcount but keep getting error messages.

here's a good one...
I have created a database which allows people to enter in when they are off sick. They have to enter in the FIRST DAY of sickness and the LAST DAY of sickness. All of this information is stored in one big table - SICKNESS TABLE. There are no other date fields in that table.
I want to know how many people have been off for 5 TIMES OR MORE in a 365 day period (which may be say, from Oct 2005 to Nov 2006 - so not always in the same year).
I have managed to get a query that will count the number of times someone has been off; but that could be over, for example, 2 years.
How can I get it to tell me if someone has been off for 5 TIMES OR MORE in a 365 day period???
Thanks

I have loads of projects in a table, they all have a status (eg Red, Green, Amber).
I have a query for each so if you run qry_RagRed, it will show in a sheet all Red projects and obviously have a total in there.
So I have a form which has buttons on it for navigation, what I want is to display various things on there so for example, a field that simply has the number of red projects, or green etc.
All I want it to do is tell me a number based upon number of items in a query.
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2003 and have a custom shortcut menu. I wish to add some entries to this shortcut menu dynamically.
Background : I am displaying a list of customer orders and wish to offer the user the facility to filter the search for one item instead of the default of ALL.
The dynamic entries would be the unique order item reference nos. retrived for that particular customer retrieved via recordset . So the menu would show :
ALL
------
Model 1
Model 2
Model 3
etc.
...
How am I able to add these entries to the menu, the selection text will be the filter text I use to report upon.
Hey Guys,
Is there any way of deactivating the main Menu Bar ("File","Edit","Insert","Format") when a form opens?
I need to implement this for a single form to stop an idiot user from trying to break the system! :mad: He's not doing it on purpose - he's just ignorant and doesn't listen or understand when I try to explain to him NOT to add a record by using the "Insert - new record" command, but to use the command button on the form which has some built in safety features (such as password protection).
I've managed to get rid of some of the other ones by using the coding below:
Application.CommandBars("Form View").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Form/Report)").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Page)").Enabled = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rusty

Hello all, i'm trying to create a database just now and i'm banging my head a little on the forms side of things.
Can anyone tell me how, or if its possible, to create a "Main Menu" form, that gives you options to say, add a record to a table, to delete a record etc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers guys
I have recently created a small inventory database just for fun, but I am looking to expand my knowledge with Access since I have not dealt with it hardly at all. I would like to know how to create a regular main menu to the database that gives you options on what you want to do. I would like to be able to look up inventory by serial number, edit inventory, add inventory, and run reports from the main menu. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.
Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search
Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID"
If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name"
etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.
I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
=Format([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate]-2,"mmmm yyyy")
This is not working. It's pulling the current month which I have set to run for October so it should show August 2014.
For some reason i'm having difficulty getting the Current Monday and Friday of the Current Week on my Main Menu. Monday shows 12/29/2014 ???
Here is the code for the scenario.
Monday: =CDate([AnyDate])-(Weekday(CDate([AnyDate])))-2+4+3-3
Friday: =Date()-(DatePart("w",Date(),2,1)-1)+4
AnyDate: Date()
I have been trying to figure out how to make a main menu that link to certain tables I have. I want the links to go to the tables/forms so that they can be edited, but I don't want the user to be able to enter design view. I have attached an image of what I want to have below.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table tblBookings.
In this table it has a bookingID, CustomerID and some other none relevant details.
The CustomerID comes from table tblCustomer. i.e a customerID must exist in the customer table to be allowed in the bookings table tblBookings
A customer can exist in tblCustomer without existing in the booking table.
I am trying to write a query that will list each and every customer ID in the tblCustomer and count the number of bookings that that customer has (even if it is zero).
I have a query that will count the bookings if they exist in the booking table and display the number of times that a customer appears in the bookings table.
SELECT tblBookings.CustomerID, Count(tblBookings.CustomerID) AS NoOfBookings
FROM tblBookings
GROUP BY tblBookings.CustomerID;
How do I create a query that will do this but list all customers even if they don't exist in the bookings table (but obviously occur in the customers table)
I am trying to create a similar query where all bookings per hotel are listed even if no bookings are made for that hotel. I am guessing the answer is the same as above.
The Ritz. Bookings 0
The Hilton. Bookings 3
The Carlton. Bookings 0
The Lowry. Bookings 2
For every hotel.
That kind of thing.
If you need more information please shout.
I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.
i am having no end of trouble trying to display just the print preview buttons and print button at all times during my Database being open.
i have tried adding various options through the startup option but i find that when i activate things so that i can print via an icon i also get the option available to go to the database window, which i want to prevent.
what is the best way around this please
Hello all,
I need your help please, i have a Form that also has a Subform in it. I need to create a Text box on the form that will display a number which will reflect the total enties made against a particular ID within a rolling six month period using the system date as a perameter. The number shown will only reflect previous entries made that fall within the six months from the current system date, and will need to update once new entry is made. Incase i have confussed the hell out of you, let me give you an example:
Example One
Entry made today = 24/02/08
Previous entry Date = 20/10/07
Textbox on Form = 2
Example Two
Entry made today = 24/02/08
Previous entry Date = 20/08/07
Textbox on Form = 1
I would like to create a calendar that shows when booking entries have been made on the calendar.
Can this be done, if so how, has anyone got any examples?? Many Thanks

Seems simple enough, I just can't figure out how to do it. How can I display the total number of table entries in a textbox on a form? thanks!
I'm trying to design a simple wildlife tracking DB, so that when myself or my colleagues spot an animal we can enter its ear tag number via a form. That will either bring us up a list of previous dates/locations that animal was observed, or if it's not in the DB, allow us to enter the new animal and location.
I have two main data tables:
dt_Animal- which stores the ear tag info, species, and other information about that unique animal
dt_Sightings - stores info on when/where animals been seen (linked to dt_Animal in a one-to-many relationship, of course)
What I want is that when you open up the form, you get a box (text or combo) to enter the animal's ear tag number.
- If it already exists in the DB, it brings up all the info on that animal and its previous sightings - with the option to fill out any missing info and (of course) to add a new sighting - and it WILL NOT add a new record to dt_Animal - just to dt_Sightings
- If it DOESN'T exist in the DB, it creates a new record in dt_Animal and allows you to enter any/all of the other information
Where I'm running into problems is that I don't want duplicate records in dt_Animal - each animal is unique. I haven't found a way to set up a form so that you don't get pop-up errors if you're typing in an ear tag number that's already in the system.
I've tried various tactics involving simple coding (NotInList, etc.) that I pulled out of this forum and other places, but haven't had any luck.
