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.
View RepliesI have a form with a "WorkerID" field. Once the worker enters his ID once, I want the same ID to show up for all the subsequent records so that he doesn't have to type it over and over again. Is there any way to do this? Sorry if I sound totally new to this (I am)!

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had code to split a field by semicolums, to create multiple records.The field has the first line of address for each property with a particular postcode.
For instance
field name:
PRMF
Craven House; Ample Mansion; WHSmith; Bulevard Terrace.
I want to be able to split fields like the one above with these properties by the semicolums so they become seperate records, but share the same other fields e.g. postcode, city...
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
still not sure how to split one field therby creating multiple records from it.
For instance:
split field:
PRMF
Craven House; Ample Mansion; WHSmith; Bulevard Terrace.
to
PRMF
Craven House
Ample Mansion
WHSmith
Bulevard Terrace.
I have made it a little clearer on the attached word doc.
The plan is to prompt the user to enter a postcode, then based on postcode an sql statement splits the fields of the field metioned with the criteria on a query. Any help very much appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Hello, i have a database that simply holds all the information on one table at the moment and what im trying to figure out is how to create a form that i can enter data onto that searches all the different fields at once, instead of one search for one thing and another for another. Some of the fileds are Headset number, gasket number, make, model, engine cc, etc.. so what i want to be able to do is have a form with a text box for each of these fields that then searches the table to narrow down the search results. at the moment i have a search for each, say for one i enter the headset number, it searches and pulls up all records with that headset number, then i have a search for engine cc, but what happens is it searches all records again for the engine cc not following on from the search for headset number so i end up back with a load of records with diferent headset numbers but with the searched engine cc. Basically the search form needs to take data entered into each text bow for each field then the combined results from each, narrowing down the results. can anyone help? in laymans terms!!
Thanks

Number of Operators per Permit
Permit
Operator Name
6
065-24088
EOG RESOURCES INC
6
065-24088
PDC MOUNTAINEER LLC
[code]....
I want to take this data and create six new columns (operator1; operator2; operator3; operator4; operator5; operator6) for each permit number so that each unique operator name will be housed in each of those six columns, with the rows being defined by the permit number. So, I want to produce something that looks like this...
Permit
operator1
operator2
[code]....
At present, there are as many as 6 operators per permit, but the number of operators per permit varies from 1 to 6. I included an example that has 5 operators, to show that I want the sixth column to be null in this instance. So if a permit had only one operator, only the operator1 field would take on a non-null value in the new table/query.I know how to do this with 2 operators per permit by using min/max or first/last functions in a query, but I don't know how to deal with more than two operators per permit.
I am creating a CAD Drawing database / Distribution list. I can only seem to distribute one drawing i.e single field to one person.Is there a way to have multiple distribtion on one field without creating multiple distribution fields?
What I have is a database which contains Drawing Numbers - I need to create a report that shows where the drawing has been distributed to, with it's current revision status and the date is was sent.I am having trouble trying to use multiple revisions and mutiple people in the distribution list with one drawing.
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.
hi
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 hope i have explained this clearly enough
thanks

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 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.
Any help would be appreciated.
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?
I am tasked with creating a scientific database of fish catches at various different sampling stations. I envisage the entry form having a hierarchy, ie year, season, date, sample station, species caught, and then the specific associated data with each species (weight, abundance, length etc) will be a distinct record.
As fas as data entry is concerned, I would like the user to not have to re-enter the same information over and over when entering multiple species entries at the same sampling station, on the same date and so on up the hierarchy.
How do I create a form that will allow me to enter data into three different tables?
I have a rather simple database for tracking students. When I get a new student I need to take information off their paper application and enter it into three separate tables, Student, Families, and Demographics. Each of these tables contains the fields StudentID, StudentFirst, and StudentLast.There is a relationship between the StudentID field on each table, with Student being the main table and Families and Demographics coming off of it. All relationships are one to many. StudentID is the key for the table Student.
I want to create a form to add a new record to each of these tables. I want my data to be displayed in the Columnar style. I only want to enter StudentID, StudentFirst and Studentlast once and have it populate to all three tables.
I can create a form and a query that displays existing entries exactly like how I want to enter them, but of course I can not edit or add to them. I have tried using subforms, but they don't seem to link up. Once I enter the Name, I want it to be on all the forms. I don't want to have type it three times. I also tried creating three separate forms and connect them with the Navigation Form. The issue again is that once I enter the name in one form, it is not automatically on the next form.
How do I display a more meaningful message instead of the cryptic error about having to enter data into blah blah blah. How can I trap that error and provide them a more meaningful message about entering data. I have tried the following;
Main form name frmPatientRecords
Sub form name DentalRecords Subform
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Nz(tblPatientDetails!recordid, 0) = 0 Then
MsgBox ("sorry. Please complete the main record entry")
Parent.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
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 a form that lists records in a table. I would like to have a hyperlink beside each record that will open the data entry form and navigate to that specific record. Right now, the use can only open the form for all records and has to use the record navigation buttons to find the desired record.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a movie database that uses a table and data entry/view form for films (title, year, director, and actors, etc), and another table that uses a data entry/ record view form for each actor including bio information and films that have appeared in.
The problem I am trying to solve is how I can relate the two tables by entering the film/actor information on the movie form, and have each film an actor has appeared in show up as a list on the actor form. Every time an actor’s name is added to the film table, I want the title of that film to be added to the list of films the actor has appeared in when viewing their bio form.
If I have a single field for “actors” on the film form, it creates an inexact match for relational purposes, due to multiple names being listed. If I use multiple fields (“actor 1, actor 2, actor 3”, etc) I have both the relationship problem and the inevitability that I will not have enough fields on the form for the data entry person to add all actors.
Is there a way to create a relationship between the tables using an inexact match? Is there some way to have a combo or list box for each actor nested in a single field? Would the tables still relate correctly?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Im doing a late note record entry for my school.
Basically a student is allowed to be late three times before they get detention.
I want to record
1. Student Name
2. Late Date (a maximum of three late dates need to be entered)
3. What time they arrived on the corresponding date
4. Whether they have a note or note
6. Their reason for being late.
7. A checkbox for detention.
It would be great if someone could help me with this, I understand it needs to go into seperate tables but I run into difficulty when I want to record the dates.
For example I created 3 tables, LateDate1, LateDate2 and LateDate3 all with the relevant info (time, note reason) but I think there must be a clearer and simpler way to do this?!
Hi
I have a form and sub form, the sub form is populated from a query and has a column of checkboxes. Basically these checkboxes get checked as part of the form, but only a maximum of five are allowed to be checked. Is there a way of achieving this?

I have a very simple database that keeps a track of line performance figures, i have attached a part of it as an example:
In my lines table are 8 production lines
in my log table i need to keep a track of the data,
what i would like to happen:
i need a form that when i open it all the production lines i have are displayed and next to each line are 2 data entry fields so i can enter a performance and an output figure for each line in one go, so in this instance i would like 8 lines and 2 entries per line.
at the moment i have to do each line individually.
i would also like this to grow should i add more lines
how can i best sort this please.
Help would be much appreciated

The below isn't the actual use but it is easier to explain like this...
I have a system set up on access and I have a front page (form) where I can enter the reference number (1141#2) of a building (YELDR for example).
This then fills in information in the other fields on the front page. For example address, number of doors and entry codes.
My problem is that this only displays one door and one entry code. I need it to display all doors and all entry codes so that I can just type in my reference number and have something that looks like the below but for all of them. It works fine at the moment but only for one of the results when there can be up to 10.
Reference No. YEDJR <---------------- I ENTER THIS
Address - high Street - London - UK <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Doors - Green - front <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- Red - side <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- Orange - back <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Codes - 10111 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- 10221 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- 10256 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
I know this is probably nowhere near enough information but is this possible? I don't know SQL so i would have to use the designer.
This is the SQL which I have at the moment though (I didn't write it i just copied this from design view on the query)
Code:
SELECT [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Name],
[Site Info Data].freq, [Site Info Data].status, [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Owner], [Site Info Data].[NGR #2],
[Site Info Data].[Address #2], [Site Info Data].[Postcode S2], [Site Info Data].[Dish size #2],
[Site Info Data].[Dish height #2], [Site Info Data].[Dish Bearing #2], [Site Info Data].RCLO
FROM [Site Info Data]
WHERE ((([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2])
Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141]));
I have a master to child table relation which is one to many. Each one is represented by a different form.
The problem is, the user enters the primary key "JobID" on the master form, then he needs to enter a few records on the child list with the same "JobID" which is the foreign key in that case. I don't want the user to enter the "JobID" every time he enters a new record in the child form.
Is there a way I can copy the primary key to the foreign key each time the user enters a new record in the child form?
I am creating a simple data entry form wherein the user will enter the product id and on change the product description and retail price must be displayed.
When the order quantity is entered, the total cost need to be calculated. I am able to do this using DLookUp and simple multiplication.
However, after doing the above, I need another row to appear so that I can accomplish the same for another product.
I have been trying to figure this one out for a while and I can't seem to find anything helpful. I'm going to present a simplified version of my problem to help keep it simple.
I have an "Activities" table that contains fields:
ActivityID
ActivityName
I have a table of 7 Risk areas which contains fields:
RiskID
RiskName
What I need to do is to create a form that will allow the user to select an activity and then, for each of the 7 risk areas, input a risk measurement.
This involves the creation of a 3rd table to collect the user input which would contain fields:
MeasurementID
RiskMeasurement
ActivityID
RiskID
I can do a dropdown of the Activities and have a subform that links to it but the problem I'm having is trying to get that subform to list the 7 Risk Areas AND collect the RiskMeasurement information from the user. How can I have a listing of these 7 areas from one table that are tied to inputs that go into another table? This seems so basic and simple yet I have tried numerous things and all have failed.
I hope this was clear. Any help is appreciated.
