So my current employer has tasked me with creating a new database that we can use to process all of our orders.
Simple things first:
- Database is for processing turkey orders, two types of turkeys can be purchased. Each type must have it's own unique numbering system.
- One table with all the customer Information (Name, address, telephone etc etc)
- One table for "Type 1 Turkeys"
- One table for "Type 2 Turkeys"
- Relationship from "Customers" to "Type" 1 using "Customer ID" as unique identifier.
We need a single form that can be used to see all of the customer information, as well as create an order for either/both type(s) of turkey. My problem is this; I can create a relationship between "customers" and "type 1" and have a form showing all of the customer information and a table allowing for the creation of "type 1" orders, but cannot find a way to have a second table allowing for the creation of "type 2" orders. If I create a second relationship between Customers and Type 2 I am forced to choose which I want to be displayed.
A screen shot of the current database. The current relationships just allow for a drop down selection under each orders table for selecting products:
I have a Client database table in Access. I now need to add a simple order table (related) to the client table. I have a client ID field set to autonumber in the client table. As I start to create the orders table I'm not sure how to link the two so that I'm not entering data twice and have assurance that they are tied together.
I know this is probably very simple but I do not know how to do it. I have: Table 1 - customers Table 2 - Orders
At the moment, when a customer orders 2 items, I have to create 2 seperate order numbers. I would like to have both items under one order number. Can anyone help with an easy solution.
I have a database where I have 3 tables. first is client data, second orders data and third the products data. What I would like, is to have a button on my form that after selecting from a combobox a product, it wil enter it in the tabel orders in the next available free record (row). I created a button and the combobox in the client form. The Products table has also the price per unit in it. It should take the whole row of data and put it in the Orders table.
Is there a way to do this? I guess it needs to be done with vba, but not sure.
I am developing a database for a friend and have all the relationships, tables, forms, queries and reports working well. I used the orders template to build this and just made a few changes. I have an orders form with an orders details subform that works beautifully. There is also customers table, employee table, products and inventory table. The inventory table has product ID, units in stock and reorder level as the only fields. I need an easy way to have the orders detail form decrease inventory as items are ordered and also some sort of way to enter restock. Can anyone offer advice that a beginner can understand in regard to this?
I wrote an update query that he can run that will subtract the qty ordered from the units on stock for orders with order date >= whatever date he enters, but if he enters a date he's previously updated it will update those records again. I think this is not a good way to go but the only way I could accomplish. I have him using the same order entry form with customer name Restock to add items to inventory by putting an if then else statement in the before mentioned update query. This just adds to inventory if customer name="Restock" else the qty ordered is inventory units in stock -qty ordered.
I'm sure someone can suggest a better way. A friend mentioned dsum function but can't explain how to apply it in this instance. Thanks so much!!!!
I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?
I heard from a number of people that this is the place to come for Microsoft Access related help.
So here is my question and I hope someone can help me understand access a little bit better.
I am trying to create a database for a job I am doing. THere are 700+ convenience stores that we (4 inspectors) inspect every three months.
We have been told to do an ADA compliance survey when we visit these stores.
The ADA checklist that we have is about 78 questions and my manager wants me to create an ADA database for this information.
So I am in need of help on how to create a database that allows me to input the answers of this ADA checklist for each store inspected.
I then would like to be able to pull all that information into a report that I could say of the 700+ stores, 50% passed all questions, 25% passed only questions 1-??, etc. etc.
I can upload the two files: The ADA checklist and our Store list if anyone would like to help me out!
The people table contains: surname given name email - primary key phone number course end year
Employment is the linking table it contains: Role start year end year employer email - foreign key same as email(above) org_url - foreign key same as url (below
Organisation
orgname add1 add2 add3 url - primary key
All I want to do is have three tables - enter a persons details in one form
Hi I need to create a documentation - help system in my Access database. Can you give some guide lines and tips? General of course... like how to link a help file or something like that... thanx for the helping hand
I currently have a database on my hd and four other ppl have a copy on theirs. (We are in different physical locations which makes it very slow to put the database on our server). Currently eveyrone is sending me files that i upload to my copy of the database so i have all of their data. the obvious setbacks to this is that the data is not live and some of the changes might be missed etc.
i would like to move this and house the tables on my company's intranet
Hi guys, i need help with a sample database, and wondered if anyone could tell me the entities and how to calculate the prices etc. If anyone could attempt starting the database off for me it would be appreciated too!!
Here is the spec!!!
You are required to produce and document a design that meets the requirements of the McDuffs Burgers scenario:
The corporate office of McDuffs Burgers has asked you to design a database to help track its restaurants and managers. The database is to help the management show the total annual sales of each restaurant and the performance of each manager, as measured by the totals annual sales of all restaurants for that particular manager. Each restaurant is supervised by a single manager, but a manager is also responsible for several restaurants. The company stores typical personnel data (name, salary, and so on.) for each manager as well as basic data for each restaurant such as the telephone and address of each restaurant, its size in square metres, and total annual sales for the last fiscal year. The company would also like objective ways to measure the performance of a manager such as the total revenue for which they are responsible, the average annual revenue per restaurant, the average annual revenue per square foot, etc.
The database should also track the orders that are placed by individual restaurants to the corporate office for various food supplies. Each order is associated with a specific restaurant, and of course, a single restaurant will place multiple orders during the course of a year. The company uses a standard set of product numbers, product descriptions, and associated prices that applies to all restaurants. Each order can specify several products, and a single product may appear in several orders. The database should be capable of computing the total cost for each order.
Deliverables 1. Entity definition for each entity. 2. Entity Relationship Diagram, which must show entities, relationships and membership. 3. Relationship definition for each relationship. 4. Relations (This must include for each relation the primary and foreign keys). 5. Data Dictionary.
Furthermore:
You are required to implement the design (produced in the first part of the assessment - McDuffs Burgers - Database Design), by designing and creating queries, forms, reports and any supporting code. Revisions may be made to the design in the implementation process.
You should note the management of McDuffs Burgers has little experience of database systems and wish to be advised on the information the system can produce.
They require example reports demonstrating the capabilities of the system to: - Aid the day to day operation of the business. - Provide appropriate management information.
You must also implement an appropriate user interface to the database easy to use.
Hi everyone, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I have. I am undertaking a social network analysis and in order to do this I need to be able to create a matrix with the following format:
Group Person J Smith G Fowles M Jones X 1 0 1 Y 0 1 0 Z 1 1 0
I also need to be able to store and retrieve personal and group level details. Note that people can be in more than one group and groups can have more than one person. My problem is that the data has been gathered by another institution and is only available in the following (Excel) format.
Group Person Role Group Characteristic ..... X J Smith Strategist Level One X M Jones Supporter Level One Y G Fowles Financer Level Three Z J Smith Strategist Level Ten Z G Fowles .... Level Ten
Any idea how I can go about doing this? I know how I could do it if I manually entered the data, but because there are literally thousands of individuals (and a whole heap of groups too) I am hoping hoping hoping that I can do it using Excel and Access. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
I have MSAccess 2003 running on WindowsXP. I have multiple users sharing a single database. When more than one user opens the same database, a copy of the database is being created?? I don't know if this is a standard trait of Acccess or something else. Any explinations would be helpfull.
Hello, I am in the process of creating my database and I was looking for some guidance. My goal is to manage and track clients attending our program and ultimately being able to print and individual report with that information. Example: john doe on 12/28 attended 3 groups X,Y and Z. I have created two tables one with the client's ID, name and starting date. The second with the groups offered, the instructors and days and times of the groups. The third I believe should be a dated table that would have groups and all the people who attended that day. This is where I am getting confused. I am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.
I'm not too hot at creating a database in Access, so I was wondering if there was anyone out their prepared to help me construct one.
This database is designed to search for property from various locations and from various price ranges, you can also pick the type of property, the amount of bedrooms and have the result in descending or ascending order.
For location just use: Location 1, Location 2, Location 3, and Any Price Ranges use: 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, 90,000, and 110,000 Type of property please use: houses, flats, and bungalows Bedrooms use: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5+
Fill in any data you wish, I think this needs to have a query setup?
I'm using Access 2003: what I need to do is to be able to use a form, which I created already with a sample, 6 fields, table and let the user input the data in the form fields but each time that the user has finished inputting the data, creating a new table with a different name, specified by the user, with the same fields used in the original one!
In more clear terms: replicate the original table every time the user has finished inputting the data, but use a different name that he will choose.
Thank you!!
PS: Be warned that unfortunately it is my first time using access for something so complex (for me).
is there a way to create a profile on each person on my database, to show their contact details and whether they've made a purchase from me before, or must I literally just make a table entering each individual person and purchase?
My boss (in another job) showed me very quickly an extremely old database one of his old employees had made for him years ago containing all of his clients, each shown individually, and he was able to click through each one, and each window showed the client's name, contact details, personal details, etc. and he just had hundreds of entries for all of his clients and was able to scan through each individual one. I am 99% sure he said it was on Microsoft Access that he'd done it.I just want to monitor how many of mailing list subscribers have also made purchases and whatnot, as I do rewards for them, and it'll be much easier to view each person's profile and the orders they've made than have to scan through a table to find each separate order?
I am new to Access and somewhat OK with Excel.I am working at a government institution, agriculture sector. We have field staff of ~150 doing different field ranges ~350. Some officers are assign to more than one field BUT no field is assign to more than one officer. (these fields belongs to different Districts, number of fields in each district is not the same)
we have four different programs namely new cultivation program (NPP), productivity improvement of existing lands (PIP), farmer capacity building (HRM) and post harvest handling (PHP). Each program has its activities lets say NPP1, NPP2, PIP1, PIP2,PIP3 etc. for an example NPP1 is land inspection, NPP2 is donating planting materials. these activities are predefined and sequential. (planting materials can not be donate without land inspection)
Officers send their progress to progress monitoring unit monthly which includes progress of each program and each activity progress for that month. My objective is to track, analyse, visualize officers progress.
These are the questions I have,As I am OK with Excel and NOT good with Access do you think I should use access for this due to any special advantage only access can give me.can I visualize data with Access?
I am assigned to create a customer quote database for our company. Now it is in excel and already have 40,000 records and increasing average 25 records everyday. The way they want to send quotes are:
- The number of items in the quote are varied from 1 o 15.
- Each item has six different prices, depends on the order qty and want to mention in different adjusent lines.
- Each item has different delivery time depend on order qty.
- Company's sales Terms and conditions need to be printed at the end of each quote in separate page. (two full pages)
How do I create the table to accommodate all these fields? Is it possible to accommodate all items/sub items in one table under one qutoe id. I have customer table, product table etc ready and little confused to create the Quote table.
I am creating an employee database for a client. The employee table has a performance column for each employee, and my client wants to be able to choose from four performance codes - Excellent, Good, Average, and Poor. They want to choose these descriptions instead of typing them in each time. How can I make this happen?
I've attempted to attach a Word Doc that shows fields I've labeled (customer, date, application & so on). Is there a way to put all this into an Access Document, and create a database that I could search by customer, or by serial #? I've got about 400 of these, but it's all in folders on paper now, would be much easier to do it in an Access database.
I want to create a database with cascading boxes. I have a sample that has a form that filters the data from 4 tables and I want this data to be saved in a table. How can I do this?
Attached database. The table which I want to save the data is tblTotal.
I am looking to create a database that collects data from past tests, predict probable future score, and compare to goal score. Currently I am studying for the Bar Exam and want to track (in all 7 subjects):
-my current scores for practice exams -prediction of what my score will be on exam day -comparison of actual and goal score -comparison of predictive and goal score -all of the above, separated by different types of Tests for each subject
Below is an example of the type of data :
Ex: Civil Procedure--06/15/15-Kaplan questions-> 6/10 (60% practice score)-> (predict gain 1 point 70%)-> (actual exam goal 20/28=71%) Civil Procedure --06/15/15--past MBE questions->7/10 (70% practice score)->(predict gain 1 point 80%)-> (actual exam goal 20/28=71%)
Also from this data I want to generate graphs
Would this be possible in Access? Should I use excel instead?
Hello to all. This is my first post on this forum. I'm currently working on a database for my company and would like to get some more guidance from you all. I work at a helpdesk. I'm trying to create a database that allows me to search for common error messages. My co-workers and I would be inputting the messages. I would like to be able to set up a query to search for these messages for future troubleshooting. I’m just looking for a start on what the tables and fields should be and how we can input the messages. All help is greatly appreciated.
I am not sure where to post this question. I remember finding a forum just for Microsoft Access 2007 questions, but I couldn't find it again... Indifferent
Anyway, I have created a database, and have been testing it with my application. I have some data in this database. I was wondering if there was a way in Microsoft Access 2007 to create an empty copy of the database for release. In other words, I would like to create a copy of the database with all of the tables and columns, but without the data (rows) that I had entered as part of using my testing database...
Does anyone know if I can do this?
If anyone knows where this Access 2007 forum is, or resources that might answer my question, please let me know, as I would greatly appreciate that.
