I think this is a pretty simple thing, but for some reason I'm lost.
I need to add a number of records to a table.
The user would input a starting record number and ending record number (ie 60000, 60003) and access would create those records with the record number field populated with all the values, in other words, it would create 4 records 60000,60001,60002, and 60003
any ideas how this can be done? I'm thinking a query, but it might require coding of a for...next loop???
Firstly, I apologise if this has been posted before. I have done a couple of searches of the forums, but can't find what I'm after... and being new to access, I'm finding it hard to know what exactly to look for. How to even explain what I want is difficult!
I am designing a database for the clients we deal with a work. It started out as being a database of 'post' and correspondence, so the Idea was, we'd have a databse of all the clients... and by selecting their names, it would bring up a list of all the letters that have come in for them. I have managed this part fine - probably basic, but fine.
What I would like to do, is expand it to more than just 'letters'. Each client has done a particular 'work' with us, and each client has particular details that are unique. For example, a client will have made certain transactions through a bank account.
I hope to be able to click on a client, and have a screen or page pop up with details and comments about that particular client. I have tried hyperlinking but that doesn't really produce what I'm after. For example, I tried creating a "report" with a page for each client, so that I could have comments for each client - hyperlinked to the table. But all it does is link to the "whole report" and not a particular page for a particular client.
I'm sure this is sounding really confusing: I have a client named "Peter Litman". His name and details are within a "client" table (listing all clients). I hope to be able to click on his name (or row) and bring information (comments, details etc.) about him. I thought this could be some sort of "pop up", or link to a special page. ??
Hi i hope someome can help. I am importing a data into a table, records are being rejected as they should due to validation rules. However access is not creating a table of rejected records. What am i doing wrong. Thanks for any help
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 have been looking around for a while now to learn how to show in a subform similar records from the same table, and a way to link them together.
I work for a mental health organization and we have a call log database that we create a new record every time a person calls us - this allows us to track the outcome of these calls. Over the last 3 years we have about 10% repeat callers. I am trying to find a way, when creating a new entry, to see if this person has called before, and if they have, link their past contact (record) to the new contact (new record).
For example.
Caller: John Smith (555) 555-5555 (this is the new record)
in the subform, a list would populate all the 'john smith' records with an option to link or attach them to the new record.
OK, your gonna have to bare with me a little bit as its hard to explain and if any VB is given please add a few annotations as I have to explain everything i do in a report (doest have to be too detailed, just to make the code understandable :) ) and if it needs better clarification feel free to ask :), but basically, I have the following relationship set up:
At the moment, because of the way it is set up, I cannot create a record in the transactions table unless an income record is given for it (because tb_income (one) to tbl_transactions (many)) but the way I want to work is as follows:
If you have a look at the tables tbl_transactions and tbl_income and their link. The way I want the system to work is when a new transaction is made, a new income record in the "tbl_income" table would be made with the date (in tbl_income) being the date at that particular time and all transactions created on the same date would all go in the subdatasheet for that one record created for that date; and if another transaction is made on an alternate date (say 00:00am of the next day) another income record would be created automatically with the date being of that particular day etc.
My other problem im facing is that everytime there is a transaction created, I want the stock level(s) field of products in that particular transaction to be decreased by the quantity purchased of that product but i have no idea how to do so
I wonder if anyone can help. I attach a table that is a material list (27000 records). When I add a new material I want to be able to see the last part code I created for a particular supplier.
For example C001, C002 and C003 are for a supplier company called Chapters so I would scroll through the combo box search list in the form for the last one and create a new record called C004. The problem is that E00001, E00002 for a company called Edwards supplies 20,000 items so it's a long way to scroll through to create a new part code called E20001. How can I show in the form what the last part code is for each Supplier?
I attach the form and table as I'm not very good at explaining this, although I have had to delete approx 20000 records as the database was too big to be posted. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks
I have a database in which i keep track of my books collection. Amongst my tables i three of them are:
tblBooks - main books table tblKeywords - where i store keywords (such as "database", "programming", "web development" etc) tblBooksKeywords - to create a many-to-many relationship between the above two tables.
Now in tblbooks i have about 270 records (1 per book). Now for each book in this table i would like to create a record in the tblBooksKeywords table to add a the keyword "Computers" to each book.
i.e.
Book1 - Computers Book2 - Computers and so on till Book 270
Now rather than i do this manually for 270 records is there a way in which i can create these 270 records automatically ?
Hi, im having a problem with shring my db over a networkt,
as far as i understand access 97 locks a page (2k) of records when a record is being edited, does anyone know a way in 97 how i can get access to lock ONLY the EDITED record and not the page?
in Tools/Options/Advanced i have "edited record" locking clicked and each form locks only the record edited but its still locking the page, i know there is "record level locking" feature in Access 2002 but not in 97, is this possible?
I have two records for a list of employees: start date and end date. I want to create a query for the top 5 employees who have been employed the longest (and are still currently employed, so end date should not exist for the top 5). How should I go about this using a top values property? thanks.
I have a simple database with 2 tables, students and progress. I need to set up my database so that when I create a new record for a student (using a form I've created) it automatically creates 4 new entries in the progress table using the ID I have generated in the form and a task number (1-4) for each of these entries.
Additionally, once all tasks are set to complete = true, I need to set the field "all tasks complete" to true. I'd like to do this all without vba if possible.
I'm trying to create a database for our new theatre group. I've created a table for membership details (ID, Name, DOB, Address, etc.)
I want to create an attendance register - kind of the way a school register looks, so it will show on screen like a spreadsheet (names down the left-hand side, dates of the sessions across the top, and a grid for the attendance codes).
I know I could paste the membership details from Access to Excel and use a spreadsheet, but I'd like to keep it all together.
The attendance codes don't just contain present or absent, I would like to keep a record of payment 'P' or on holiday 'H' etc.
I'll keep searching and scratching my head, but any help would be appreciated.
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...
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.
There is currently a database which contains location information on a variety of different samples, each which is identified by a unique sample number (the primary key). However, when these samples are processed, they are split it half and each is assigned a second identifier for each half (in this case, an A or a B). Therefore, if originally there was sample 1, it will be split into 1A and 1B. My task is essentially to create a second database with further information for each sample half (1A or 1B), while maintaining a link to the main sample database to reflect any changes to the sample location information. So far I have been using a make table query that pulls from the linked table which links back to the main database and combines with another table that simply has one column called "Piece" which has an 'A' in the first row and a 'B' in the second row.
I am quite new to using access, but I have found this task fairly frustrating so far because it feels like I am trying to force access to work in ways that it was not designed. Essentially I would like access to create a duplicate entry for each sample in the original database, and force in an 'A' or a 'B', and combine these fields to create a unique identifier. However, I am running into a lot of issue when trying to append data from the original database etc.
I am writing mini database which will produce labels for boxes. I want to be able to produce a sheet of labels based on the 'number of labels' to print field. I can output one label or many on the page/s depending on how I structure the query and how many records are in the query.
My Question: I need is a query which takes an individual record and duplicates it by the integer in the 'Number of Labels' field
I'm relatively new to Access programming, so I am mostly at a loss as to what methods, whether by query or VBA code, to do this. I am building a patient log for medical interns, so that the individual entries would include information of an individual visit to a patient. Part of this would include a function where I could, at one click, create a new record for the specific patient with fields such as patient ID, name, etc already filled in, with the values coming from the record that was open at the time, a sort of "dynamic default" value. I still want to be able to create blank records with the default ">*" button at the bottom of the form, so ideally this would be a new function. Would this be a relatively straightforward task, and if so, could someone give me some basic pointers to it? I'm in the process of reading some VBA self-help books, but have yet to figure it out. I have some experience in C++, so if I were to take the VBA approach, all I would need are the variable names and how to call/access them, and I should be able to knock together a working draft that way. Thanks in advance to all.
I have a data entry form in Access 2000, and when people scroll the mousewheel or press tab enough times, all the data they've entered disappears! Is there anyway to prevent this? I have instructions on getting a .dll to block the mousewheel, but nothing for the tab, any help?
Anyone know what impact it would have to my table if people used mouse/tab to clear their data, and then added data to the blank form? I presme it's just creating a new record, but I could be wrong.
I was wondering if what I'm trying to do in Access XP and 2003 is possible. I've looked at countless templates and samples and havn't seen anything like what I want to do to be able to construct it. I've tried manipulating queries, relationships different table joins but to no avail. I'm only a beginner in VBA and know little SQL, I would be truly gratefull if someone can please shed some light on the below.
I've been creating a preventitive fleet maintenance database in access and want to make some changes that will make the database more flexible.
What I have is a main form which has the following main fields from the tblWorkOrder; WorkOrderID, FleetID, StartDate, FinishDate, Odometer, and ServiceTypeID.
Within this I have a subform in datasheet view (tblServiceItems, fields; ServiceItemID, ServiceDescription, ServiceCompleted(checkbox)) and this lists all the service items that belong to the ServiceTypeID in the main form.
I have another table called tblServiceDetails and this has the fields WorkOrderID, ServiceItemID which join the above two tables.
My problem is that I can't get the subform to list all the records that are in the table tblServiceItems, it only shows each record if you go through and select it manually. What I want it to do is to show like a listbox and allow me to go through the list and check of those service items once they have been completed. On top of this I want all those service items for that service type to be recorded against that workorder (regardless of completed or not) so then when I create a report on a WorkOrder It will list all the service items showing the checkbox's of which services have been done.
I've tried to do this with a listbox, but It doesn't show the checkbox, only yes or no. I've also tried using the tblServiceItems as the subform but this only updated the table and didn't create a record in the table tblServiceDetails matching it with the workorder.
I plan to create a tab in access, which has text box and two buttons on it.
when I click the 1st button "Get Me Next" it should get the record from an excel sheet. and when i click the 2nd button "Case Closed". this records should get save in an other excel file.
I am creating a database at the moment that needs to be so user friendly, that a monkey could use it.
I would like to separate the Amend and Create record function into two different forms.
What I mean is;
1 form to create a record - At the moment it already jumps to new record, but I would like it to be unable to scroll existing records. Limiting it's function to creating records.
1 form would be to view and amend, the opposite of the first. I would like you to be unable to create a new record and only be able to view existing records.
Currently the first form jumps to create new record but you can scroll back through records. The second form starts on record 1 with a drop down to find the record you want, but going to the end you could create a record.
I'm working on a contact database for my company's sales efforts. It tracks interactions with prospective customers and assigns them to employees here. My question is this: For mass contact efforts (such as mailings), is there a way to create mass entries to my "Interactions" table so that no one has to enter a mailout interaction 1000+ times?
Structure of the relevant bits of the database is as follows:
Contacts Table Interaction Table
Contacts Table is linked with Interaction table via ContactID
Queries are run to narrow Contacts by various criteria (ex.: by the employee they're assigned to).
So if I run a query to get all the contacts assigned to me, and there are 450 of them, and I send a mailout to all of them, and I want to add an interaction to those 450 people, is there an automated way to do this?
I have a form that when the end user is searching for previous records it creates an erroneous record based off of the search criteria. I want it to create a record ONLY when the "Enter" button is pressed.
Is there a way to limit the form to creating records only when ENTER is clicked on?
I'm creating a database for a school. it contains the following tables: 'Students' of which the primary key is StudentID, 'Subjects' of which SubjectID is the key and 'Exams' - ExamID.
Then, I have a table called 'Results' but with no primary key of its own - just 3 foreign keys from the other tables and another field which can be left blank let's call it 'Grade'. So the Results table would have the following fields:
StudentID*, SubjectID*, ExamID*, Grade
Now, I make a form which creates a new lets say ExamID and I would like to create records with all the combinations of all of the subjects and students, ready for the 'Grade' to be typed in.This is assuming the Exam isn't based on the Subject directly.
I am trying to create a Database that will type our orders. I have a table with our customer list that includes both billing and shipping information. The problem is that sometimes one customer will request a "drop shipment" to another customer. Is it possible to retrieve different data from two different customers? Billing info for customer "A" and shipping info for customer "B" without creating seperate tables?
