I'm new to Access but not SQL, and am having difficulty coming up with a solution to the following problem:
I have one table for all Strings used in all other tables (to make Internationalization easier). The fields are: zId, zType, and zString. zId is an AutoNumber field. zType is a number which defines what type of string it is ( Item Name, Person Name, etc. ). zString is a text field with the actual text string (can be empty).
I have another table for Items, which have (among other things) Names (field name= zName). zName is actually a lookup into the Strings table and stores just the ID.
I want to create a form for people to enter a new Item. When creating a new item using this form, they will have to give it a Name, which will need to add a new entry into the Strings table with the appropriate type (ie, Item Name).
So, my question is "How to do the following..."
* on my form to enter Item Data, when a user goes to create a new Item, I must first create a new entry in the Strings table with the correct value for zType. Then, I must get the value for zId for this new entry and assign it to the zName field in the Items table for the new record that I am creating.
I have a query which is used to pull data from 2 tables.
1. Only show the records that have 2 or more same Pat#, FName and LName. If it is a single record I would like to hide it.
2. Need to see the different dates amd know the difference.
Currently Query Looks like this.
Pat# FName LName Reason Status Date 00001 John Doe 1 1 11/13/2014 00002 Sally Doe 2 1 11/25/2014 00003 Bill Bates 1 1 11/04/2014 00003 Bill Bates 2 1 11/07/2014 00004 Jenny West 1 1 04/03/2014 00004 Jenny West 2 1 04/10/2014
The Signup reason number 1 represents the signup date and number 2 represents the time they left. SignupStatus number 1 represents a group.
So I am hoping my end goal it would look something like this.
Pat# FName LName Date 1 Date 2 Difference 00003 Bill Bates 11/04/2014 11/07/2014 3 Days 00004 Jenny West 04/03/2014 04/10/2014 7 days
I am trying to avoid using VBA or SQL. I do not know where to input it.
I tried to use the “Find Duplicates” query wizard but this did not work because it finds duplicates like last name first name, but it does not separate the dates.
I have three tables, with the following data (fields separated by "-" here): Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total Overdue Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like to combine these tables into one table with the following field names: Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Balance
When I append the data, it comes out like this: Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R - Type of A/R - Total Overdue - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like this new table to include all rows from the original tables, sandwiched on top of each other. As far as I can work it, the Append Query only adds the data as add'l columns; not as add'l rows. I tried changing the field names entirely, so that the final field in each table is called "Balance." However, I still get the same result as above - the columns are added, instead of rows. I swear there's a way to do this, I just can't remember it!
I am trying to merge data from multiple rows into one row for each unique ID. I can replicate on how to do this on a table, maybe a query or something like that. Attached img shows
I am trying to develop a DB that is multi user. i ahve not split the data from the forms into separate db's as the users are in different locations and our network can be very slow.
part of the requirerment is to produce a drawing approval form, my current sticking point is that the method i am currently using to create the forms only allows one person at a time to use the process.
currently i have a command button that runs a query and then creates a table from the results. the table is then used as the data source for a mail merged form in word.
what i ultimatly need is a process which allows multiple users to generate these forms at the same time and have the ability to save the form (with no code behind it) as a word document (either RTF etc)
i am thinking that if i create a query on the fly in VB and then use the results to use in a report this would allow me to do the above.....
So my questions are:
1) is my assumption correct 2) If so, how do i do it as i have never done it before 3) If the above is not the best solution/ does not work... what will/is
I'm trying to create multiple relationships between the same two tables, but I run into problems every time I try. I'm using Access 2007.
Specifics: I have a table with information on meetings and there are two hosts. So I have fields Host 1 and Host 2. I have a second table that lists possible hosts and their personal information. I have a relationship between table 1 "Host 1" and the Host in table 2; I cannot create another working relationship between table 1 "Host 2" and the Host in table 2.
how I can get that to work? With just the one relationship, I can go to table 2 of the hosts, click on their name, and see all their meetings.But if I add another relationship, it takes out all of the information. I've been working on this for over an hour,
I am trying to create an input form for input to tables.There is a main TblContacts table with fields such as: LastName, FirstName, Address, etc. There are also ID fields for the Company and Country and joins to the Company and Country tables, each with just ID and name fields.I want to have all the fields from the TblContacts table and the Name fields from the Company and Country tables on the form. I want to be able to select the Name fields from the Company and Country tables from combo boxes and for these also to populate the Company and Country ID fields (from the TblContacts table).
To create the form, I selected Create Form whilst the TblContacts was open. Then, I added the combo boxes pulling the names from the Company and Country tables.My problem is that the selection of the Company and Country names above is NOT populating the Company and Country ID fields on the form (taken from the TblContacts table. I have checked in relationships that the joins have been created.
is there anyway you can create one form which updates all the information in multiple tables. I need to create one of these to make the navigation of the database more easy, so if anybody could help me it would be much appreciated.
I am creating a database of bird banding and breeding records for the refuge where I currently intern. To do this, I have created the following tables:
Adult Banding Records Nestling Banding Records Historical Banding Records
The specific issue:
I have already created forms for entering data into these tables, but now I would like to create a "search" form that will use the primary key (which is always the band number of the individual bird, across all tables) to search ALL the tables and pull up all the information on that record. This will be convenient when we recapture a bird that is already banded, so we can look up their information in our database. Also, since I plan to add many more tables, it would be nice to not have to search each table individually.
I have DB used for inventory for many different categories. I have a table and form for the following: Location, Printers, Pc's and many more.
What i am trying to accomplish is to have a advanced search form that will display how many pc's and there makes and model from selecting the location name or Cost center from a combo box.
So an example would be I want to select MPP-WDF from the combo box click a button and it will return the number of PC and there makes of model's and some other information in a list of records.
I am building a form to create a user record and at the same time i have some yes/no options which are located in other tables but when i want add a user i cannot select any yes/no options they seem locked?
I have been asked to design a database to replace our old excel sheet to log one of our customers server builds. It a four noded system and i require a seperate log for each node serial models of parts etc, qa checks.
I intitial started by just using one table but forgot the limit was 255 rows, i need about 600 - 700. So my plan is now to transfer to indivial table for each node. Then, a general table named Main for all my other details.
Although this seems simple, i now have the annoying task of being able to link them all together and produce a single PDF file to send to our customer whilst only entering our system serial number once to produce this.
My basic understanding will be to create a System Serial Number field in each table a link it via relationships, but if i produce a report with everything i need would it input my details for all four nodes? If so how would i set this up?
I will be splitting the database once completed and then making a ACCDE file for my techs to use.
I was given a task by my boss to create an appraisal system for our department here in one of the local schools in the Philippines.
Anyway, what I created first a form from which all subjects being offered will be displayed. I did this by having a main form (bind to personal info table) and a subform that displays all the subjects (bind to subjects table). Then, the user will simply click on the appropriate rows bearings the subejct that the students wish to enrolled and when the save button is click, such will be saved into the enrol table.
My questions is, what control will I use to allow me to select multiple rows? and how will I be able to save selected rows into the enrol table?
I have a table of products and a table of ordersEach product requires multiple processes to completeCan I make a query that will lookup the products in the orders table and show a list of all the processes that need to be done to complete all the products on order?The bit I dont get is how can a query return multiple rows for each product?
Could somebody please help me! I am new to access and trying to create a database that brings together information from a number of different sources, into one large database. I need to import a large amount of data from another access table and I would like to just cut and paste it into my table. BUT, I cant figure out how to add multiple rows at once to my existing table. The data that I am importing contains about 6,000 rows and 4 columns. Can anybody tell me how I can do this without having to manually create 6,000 rows, one at a time? I really do not want to do that. Thank you for your help.
But I am getting an error "Missing semicolon( at the end of SQL statement" and placing a semicolon at the end isn't helping either. I can insert a single row so column type or primary key isn't a problem.
Here's the table structure,
rvp - number (pk) rvp_name - text controller_id - number
Is there a way to select several rows of records in a datasheet view of a table and delete all of the selected records?
Every time I try to delete more than one record at a time, I get the following message: "The Micorsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time."
Then it will let me delete one record out of the selection.
I am the only one in that particular table at the time I am trying to delete the record.
I am trying to find a way to combine multiple rows into one (field). I have 2 tables. One table is data the other table is notes. The notes table has a new record created for each new note. Both tables have the Account Number and and Sub Account Number. I am linking the two tables on these account numbers with a left join normally. There can be records in the data table and no records in the notes table. I guess what I want is a query or sql statement i can use in vba that will display all the data from the data table and all the notes from the notes table in on field.
This data is used in a large report. Right now I have the data table set to the report by itself and code on the report to pull the notes from the notes table using a ADO recordset with a do while that just adds each note to a single variable. This works fine and does the job. The only problem is the time it takes to run the report now. If the report has 1000 records with notes on 90% of them and each of those has multiple notes that recordset code has to run thu ALOT. I use to have all the notes just compile to one field in the data table and the report ran very fast that way. I had to change this since I need it this way as to filter notes by time and archive them after a period.
I have read thru so many posts and see lots of code functions to do this but its just the same thing I already have with the recordset code building the combined field. Any other way to do what I am trying? I think I have just been over thinking this stuff at this point an maybe a fresh set of eyes will help. Below are some simple table layouts for the 2.
**Account Number and Sub ID fields in both tables are not unquie.
Data Table: (this table has alot more data but this gives you the idea.) Account_NUM - Sub_ID - Data1 1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc. 1234 | 3 | 666 DRN 4567 | 4 | 543 S Way. 7890 | 5 | zzz ABC
Notes Table: (Yes the notes field is a MEMO field) Account_Num - Sub_ID - Notes 1234 | 3 | notes1 1234 | 3 | notes2 1234 | 3 | notes3
The output I am trying to Get: Account_Num - Sub_ID - Data1 - Notes 1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc. | notes1 notes2 notes3 1234 | 3 | 666 DRN | notes1 notes2 notes3 4567 | 4 | 543 S Way. | NULL 7890 | 5 | zzz ABC | NULL
I am trying to concatenate multiple rows into one record. I googled it and found many functions in VBA that do the job. However my problem is that my query will be linked directly to Excel file and then I get an error message saying that Excel could not recognise this function. I could potentially insert data into new table and link that table to Excel but I need to avoid end-user exposure to Access as much as possible.
So I am desperately trying to find a way of doing this without VBA code.
Example of data:
Customer Name |Order Number Smith |O101 Brown |O102 Smith |O103 Green |O104 Brown |O105
I am trying to achieve below:
Customer Name |Order Number Smith |O101, O103 Brown |O102, O105 Green |O104
I have a table where and account could have multiple rows with different data like Applied_Date and Trans_Code, and AMOUNT. The AMOUNT in two of the rows will be a positive and a negative and will be zero each other out. I am trying to create a query that will only return the the rows that do not offset each other. Here is an example of my table:
ACCOUNT CODE APPLIED_DATE AMOUNT 292020 M 5/11/2012 ($33.95) 292020 11 5/14/2012 $33.95 292020 A 5/30/2012 ($33.95)
