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 have a table that lists county names. On the data entry form only the county names are displayed. However, I have another form that is used to build a custom query based on various criteria, of which county is one.
To make the table compatible with both both forms, the data source for the dropdown list for data entry is: Select * FROM county WHERE county <> "No Selection"
For the SQL form the code is simply: Select * FROM county The default value of the dropdown list is "No Selection". When dropdown list for county is set to "No Selection" the program interprets it as "select all counties". Other dropdown lists provide other parameters such as the project year, nature of the project etc. Each of these other dropdown lists also have a default value of "No Selection". The SQL form thus gives me the ability to mix and match several criteria. For example, it will display all projects in a particular year for a particular county or all projects in all counties that involve the construction of a residence.
My question, instead of physically having the string "No Selection" in the table itself, is there a way to embed the phrase "No Selection" in the SQL expression itself and still have it as an option on the dropdown list?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi, I am desparate!! I work for a high school and need a database to record student community service hours over their high school careers. I have been trying to do this on and off since the summer. I promised I would have it done by the end of winter break but........I may have to go back to a spreadsheet if I can't get this right. That has proved to be a royal pain in the past few years.
I have set up tables but getting the relationships right is a problem. I dont know if it is possible but I would like to set it up so that I have a student form with 4 subforms for each school year. Each subform (4 tabs) will have the title of the school year (i.e. 05-06). We don't allow them to get credit if they go over on their hours for a given year. In other words, they can't do all their service hours in say, freshman year. They have to do 10 as freshmen, 20 as sophomores, 30 as juniors and 40 as seniors.
Each year I can refresh from the school db (for new students, etc.) but I can't go in and create a report in that program as we don't have the capability.
I am trying to teach myself but every tutorial I come across doesn't give reasons why you do something so I can figure out how to convert that info to help me. I have been researching this for a long time and looking at sample dbs.
Can anyone help? I am going to try to attach a copy of the mess I have made so far, Hopefully
I need some assitant in building a simple check reconciliation database. I was wondering if anyone can guide me in doing so? Or if anyone has some kind of sample i can use that would be great. thanks
I have made an Access database containing contract names and addresses. I need to have each of these contracts linked to another table which shows the allocated engineer for the particular contract. I used a "one 2 many" relationship using a field "LinkID" to do this. Each engineer has a unique "LinkID" in the engineer table but the engineer changes each day. The engineer for each particular day comes via an excel spreadsheet. The way it works at the moment is that the engineer name has to be manually changed each day, and this takes time. I have tried importing a linked excel table which looked like it would work, but was not able to use the linked table in the same "one 2 many" related table format as above.
What i need to do, is find a way for the fields containing the engineer name to be automatically updated somehow, possible by reading the values from the excel sheet.
Anybody know of any way for this to be done?
Thanks, and hope this makes sense got its got me baffled.
*** Edit **** Thinking about it, i could have an imported execl sheet which contains all of the engineers for each day. Would there be a way using a macro, to update the data in the engineers table that is related to the contracts, by overwriting it with the data from the linked spreadsheet?
I have at least 15000 records and all of them should be corrected if there is existing duplicates with same EMBG and different name. More precisely if there are 2 persons with same EBMG lets say 123456789 but one with name Naim Arifi and other one Naum Arifi then query should present to me Naim and Naum. Example
So the record 1 3 and 4 and 722 should be highlited because they have same EMBG and I need to find where is the mistake manualy (correcting from Naum to Naim). In this case row number 4 is mistake instead of Naim is Naum. I need to correct it manualy.
I'm running a 9 parameter query, where values for the criteria are drawn from a form. I'm confused as to how I build an "if, then" string so that if one of the parameters is left blank, the program will skip it and go to the next.
Ok, I currently have a query built with requests. What I want to do is initially set each request with a priority. Then when one request is closed the query will take the requests with priority 2 and change it to priority 1, change the request with priority 3 to priority 2 and so on. Also any new requests that are entered I want to be able to set their priority as well. Can anyone help me with this, or is it even possible?
I need to create an sql statement where the having statement can grow depending on how many conditions I pass to it. There maybe 10 conditions or there may only be 1 condition statement. I guess I'm really looking more for proper structure. Should I use "if" statements or is there a way to structure a variable with "OR" statements in it and use that.
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.
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
I am hoping this is the right place to find some help. I have just started access (2003) and i am trying to build a list. Let me explain.
I have a table that contains cartcode, description, price
and another containing manufacturer, model
I then created a new table that links these tables together so that if i click the little + next to a cartcode i can see a list of models linked with that cartridge.
What i want to do though is create a query/table/anything that will create me a list of cartridges and then in the second column a list, hopefully seperated by a comma or all the printers models related to that cartridge. I hope that makes sence.
So my question is how do i create the list which included related printers?
Hi all, i'm new here and I have a query about a database i'm building with which any help would be appreciated.
I'm designing a form and I need to be able to have an option to save to a temporary table for retrieval by users so that they can continue their saved record at a later time. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this as I am relatively inexperienced and I have to have the whole database complete before Wednesday:confused:
