I am working on a jobs database where employees enter information where the job is being handed off to. I want to create a table showing the latest job entry by date. The jobs are listed by "Job Number" and when I try to create a table and remove the duplicate "Job Number" it does not always remove the oldest entries.
Two of the fields in my query are for Progress Note and Progress Note Date. Each client has several progress notes. How can I have the query show only the Progress Note with the latest date?
I am trying to customize one of my query table, so that it shows the latest review date of an employee (with multiple entries). I have gotten the SQL statement to work so that it shows the latest employee review date which is greater than the current date. But if the employee has 2 records after the current date and I want it to show the latest entry of the 2. I don't know to put add a sub-Select statement or whether to add another criteria in the Where criteria.
e.g. Current Date = May 25, 2005If Employee A's next review date is set for June 1, 2005 but has already been reviewed (the next review date is May 31, 2006). The query will show the June 1, 2005 and not the latest entry of May 31, 2006.
Because there are 2 review dates that are after the current date. What should I do to make only the latest entry appear?
Below is the my VBA code so far, which produces the above result.
SELECT tblEmp.fname, tblEmp.lname, tblEmpWorkHistory.[current store], tblEmp.position, tblEmpSalaryHistory.salary, tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date FROM (tblEmp INNER JOIN tblEmpSalaryHistory ON tblEmp.ssn=tblEmpSalaryHistory.ssn) LEFT JOIN tblEmpWorkHistory ON tblEmp.ssn=tblEmpWorkHistory.ssn WHERE (((tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date)>Now() And (tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date)<=[Please enter the Next Review Date])) ORDER BY tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date;
My brain is stuck and can't figure it out. I hope any fresh mind could help me out. Thanks in advance.
I have a database I want to load tire and brake measurements into. I have created a table which I enter records into, including the date, measurement, the wheel position and the item (tires or brakes) being measured.
On the form I have a picture of a tire and a brake at each wheel position and I would like to be able to display in the control by each item the latest measurement in the main table that matches that wheel position and item.
I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.
I have two fields. A barcode field will have several instances of the same data, and the other field has different dates and times when it was scanned. I need to be able to query the barcode field and only return the record with the latest time. Can this be done in a query or do I need to do something else? Here is a sample of data I am working with. I attached a small sample of data as an example.
I am trying to create a simple database to keep track of computer components that I order for custom PCs. The data is fairly basic Quantity, Description, Stock Code, Delivery Status, Cost, Cost+VAT, Date Delivered. The list is currently 500+ rows of data. I simply cut and paste this info directly from my online invoices.
What I want is to be able find the the last price paid for an item (often the same items have different prices week by week) Eventually I would like to be able to create a rough quote using the latest prices (plus mark up) and also view a price history.
I would also like to include a few pictures as URL links to the suppliers website ????
At present the data is in Excel and linked to a single table in Access (but this can be changed). I realise that I have to group the records somehow but cannot get it to work. At present it lists every record either in date order or product order.
The stock code should not change, but product descriptions do. So any links to pics would be based on stock codes
Someone please tell me how to display the full list of products but only the latest price/date
If you think the current format is rubbish then feel free to suggest an alternative. I much prefer Excel but have never really got to grips with Access (used to be a vba programmer with Excel). To link to pictures and hide data that customers might see Access seems the obvious choice. So I try again!!!!!
Where a many to many relationships is resolved with a linking table...Is it possible to create an entry in the linking table where the two linked tables have the same value e.g. create a entry in the linking table where client table has same value as a job profile table i.e. both are in insurance. Therefore want to create an entry in the middle table with foreign keys from either link automatically
In my database I have 4 tables for a small painting and decorating business.
These are: tblCustomers, tblOrders, tblStock, tblPayments.
I have a form based on tblOrders to add new orders when they come in from customers.
In this form there are 3 important fields: "CustomerID" (Lookup to tblCustomers), "StockID" (Lookup to tblStock) and Quantity (Entered by user).
However, I want a calculated field that will be worked out automatically when the user is entering these details. The calculated field should go to tblStock and grab the "Cost" field.
However the main problem is specifying what price it will grab from the table. I want it to get the "Cost" where "StockID" = (the stock ID selected in the lookup). I then want to multiply the price by the quantity which the user has entered.
The control source should be worded something like: = ([tblStock]![Cost] where [StockID] = StockID)*Quantity
but that isn't valid.
Could anyone point me to a piece of VBA or some way to get around my problem? Many thanks for any help, Stephen
I have two tables, one called 'Company' and one called 'Person'. Both tables have several fields, but they both have the same primary key, i.e. 'Naam'.
When I type in a name in the 'Person' table, I'd like the 'Company' table to automatically display the name too. So for example if I type in 'John Doe' in the person table, I want to be able to switch to the 'Company' table and have the same name displayed there, automatically.
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
Hello All... I'm very new to Access.. so please forgive my ignorance..
Here is the scenario..
I have a table with two fields named "item" & "description" that contains 10 records total.
I have another table with 100 records with the fields "invoice #","item", "price paid","date paid","time paid". The item fields are linked between the two, and the 100 records contain different invoices for these ten items.
I want to pull the price paid off of the latest invoice, based on the time and date... What is the easiest way to do this?
My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.
I am trying to create another table that I can capture daily Out Of Stock data for products.
What I would like to do is to enter the product number in the first field of my new table, and then the remaining fields will auto populate with the correct details based on the product data stored in the parent tables that I have imported.
Table name: Items Field: ItemName Form name: Frmpayments
when I open the above form, it should create texts boxes on "frmpayments" based on how many data available in "Items" table under "Itemname" field. It'll be even better, if it can put those item's name in each text box it creates.
I am designing a database for a quarry for maintenance of their machines. I have a table that has a full list of all the parts on the machines, and a multiple value lookup field that says what machines said parts are used on. I am trying to have these values translate to another table, so I can then insert a field to say how many of each part are used on the respective machine, to display on an information form for each machine.
I would also like this table to update if the relevant information is updated, for example if a new machine is input, then have the table update to reflect what parts are used on it (an After Update function?) I have made a query that gives me the read out I want (attached) but just cannot figure out how to get that into a table so I can add the extra information.
I have been asked to add a building entry log (Session Log) for a gym members database I created 2 years ago, unfortunately having racked my brain for the last week I am no nearer a solution.
Background: I am a novice with a little knowledge (Dangerous I know), the main structure of the database is Contact [Storing address and name], Payments [Storing membership info - renewal date etc] and Sessions [Storing session date & time] this sessions table was recently added as a stop gap measure to allow the staff to enter user sessions manually.
Problem: System needs to log user as IN and record the current time on first entry of userID (5 digit number), then the second time userID is entered it must log user out and record the time.
Resources: I have just a single laptop running windows 98SE, and a USB numeric keypad. I should be able to get hold of a second monitor if required, but beyond that it is a case of beg, borrow, or steal as my budget is ZERO.
Any help, or suggestions to get me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.
i am trying to write a query to produce a descending recordset of photo_id but only one from each user e.g
if these are the top records
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 149 m_name dave photo_id 148 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 146 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
i want the query to produce this
photo_id 150 m_name dave photo_id 147 m_name john photo_id 145 m_name fred
and so on, there are other fields also but that gives you the idea i hope. what i have come up with is this
SELECT MAX(FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id) AS ID, FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name,FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name,FO RUM_ALBUM.Member_id FROM FORUM_ALBUM, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS WHERE FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id=FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.MEMBER_ID AND FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Status=1 GROUP BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id,FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_Name, FORUM_ALBUM_USERS.M_Name, FORUM_ALBUM.Member_id ORDER BY FORUM_ALBUM.Photo_id DESC;
this gives me the records i want in the correct order but it gives multiple instances of each M_Name instead of just one record for each M_Name
I need to create a form, in which would be a query at the bottom.
I have table f.e. "A" in which is all data about cars. I have table "B" in which is all data about customers.
I would like to create form "B" - which would add new customers, but at the bottom of that form I would like to see tables "A" filtered results.
Something like: In form B I create new customer. When I insert what car they want and how much they can pay, at the bottom generates query which would show all possible results from table "A".
With one customer I know how to do it. But when I insert second customer in the form, that query stops working while it doesn't know from which entry it should take the information. I don't know how to tell, that the query should take the data from the customer ID1 when I'm looking customer ID1, and from customer IDX - when I'm looking customer IDX.
I thought, perhaps it possible to create button with macro - when I press the button it copies all data from the current entry, it pastes in the form where is only one entry and works with query, than generates the query results which will be showed in the same entry that I pressed the button.
I have a Comments field on a form. I would like to set it up so that multiple comments can be added and logged at different times by different users. I have attached a picture of what I am looking to do.
(1) a query that returns the latest record (newest) in a table called 'Invoices' and then
(2) places this value in a form called 'FrmInputInvoices' as the default value when the form opens. Newest record is by Autonumber and the table defaults this to top of table as views newest down to oldest.
Re (1) Query is called 'QInvoices'; the values I want to return in my query is ID (my autonumber) and Invoice_No . Must be a simple answer to put in the criteria, but I can't find this.
Re(2) What code do I use in my Form field named 'Invoice_No when the curser defaults there on opening?
We have a client who is using an Access 2013 DB (Office 2013 Pro Plus) with the Windows 10 operating system. They are working on implementing the infrastructure for using Office 2013 under the Office 365 subscription. The Access DB they are using is setup as 2 .accdb files, one that contains the back end data, and the other the objects for the UI.
They will soon be using MS Surface Pro tablets for their field personnel, and want a form that can be used for data entry while in the field.
We talked about creating a form that could be used offline (basically a new FE and BE) and routine that would do data synchronization back to the network database when submitted by the field personnel.
From online research, it looks like this may be better solved with the use of Office 365, SharePoint, and Access Services. Unfortunately, since they haven't yet migrated to Office 365, we have no way to test it and need to determine if it is a viable option, or if we will need to do the "custom routine" option. Since they are planning to migrate to 365 anyway, if it works, it would obviously be a more cost effective solution for them.
Here are a few questions we have when considering this solution:
1) The Internet is not always available in the field, so the solution must be one that can run offline. Is this possible with 365? 2) They are working to get Sharepoint Services working soon. It looks like we will also need them to implement Access Services. What do SPS and Access Services look like, how do they interact, and what features do they offer and how can we leverage them? 3) What does the web-based Access application look like? What is the path to convert/migrate an Access 2013 DB to a web app? Does all development need to be done (or redone) in a new dev environment for 2013 web apps? 4) The "hydration" of an offline copy of the form is what we would need to distribute to an offline tablet device. What does this involve? Is a small footprint .accdw created? What happens after that when first accessed by the user? Is there a hydrated .accdb for the Front End and/or Back End? 5) If we must hydrate the entire application, we may need to implement security at that time. From our research, it appears that once the Access web app is published to SPS, the objects (lists, etc.) in SPS are lockable at the SPS level, and we may have to use that security layer instead of Access security, correct?
Giving up after a zillion tries. I have a table (tblLOADS) containing: BROKER, PUDATE, MATERIAL & DRIVER. I am able to create this query:
SELECT tblLOADS.L_ID, tblLOADS.BROKER, Max(tblLOADS.Pudate) AS MaxOfPudate, tblLOADS.Material, tblLOADS.Driver FROM tblLOADS GROUP BY tblLOADS.L_ID, tblLOADS.BROKER, tblLOADS.Material, tblLOADS.Driver HAVING (((Max(tblLOADS.Pudate))>0));
Problem: It's datasheet view displays all of the records for BROKERS, PUDATE, MATERIAL & DRIVER, instead of ONLY the records for the last PUDATE of each of the BROKERS, with their corresponding MATERIAL & DRIVER fields.
FName | END_Date| --------|---------------| John| Oct 09, 2014| John| Oct 15, 2014| John| Oct 25, 2014| Mike| Dec 10, 2014| Mike| Dec 15, 2014| Mike| Dec 20, 2014| Mike| Dec 25, 2014| Jimm| Dec 10, 2014| Jimm| Dec 15, 2014| Jimm| Dec 20, 2014| Alex| Dec 01, 2014| Alex| Dec 05, 2014| Alex| Dec 10, 2014| Thom| Nov 10, 2014| Thom| Oct 10, 2014| Thom| Aug 10, 2014|
The output will be:
FName | END_Date| ----------|---------------|
John| Oct 25, 2014| Mike| Dec 25, 2014| Jimm| Dec 20, 2014| Alex| Dec 10, 2014| Thom| Nov 10, 2014|
The query table(output) will just have to be latest date("END_Date") per "FName"
