I have a list of locations in a sub form where a chart has been and the last record is it's current location. I'm generating a building report which should show a list of charts on that building, but it also shows it on old locations. So in the example, it shows for building 43 and building 83. I just need it to show on 83, how to accomplish this.

I am trying to position opened forms so that they are cascaded on the screen. I have discovered the movesize action (for the DoCmd) and Move property of a form (for Acc 2002/2003). However, if the application is opened up on different monitors (e.g.; 17" or 19"), the relative location of the opened form is not the same (i.e.; on the bigger monitor the opened form is too far over to the right and too high).
What I want to do is ...
When the subsequent (or second) form is opened up I would like to find the absolute location of the first form (always centered). This way I will be able to reposition the second and third forms relative to the first form.
Is this possible?
I'm having trouble referencing the first form from within the second form. The first form is still open, but they are not linked forms (not parent/child). I've tried:
forms("firstformname").left
forms("firstformname").top
but this does not work.
I've gone to online help and I've looked around in the newsgroups. But can't find any info. Anybody out there will suggestions?

I am attempting to build a small database for my firm to keep a track of equipment. The equipment can be in one of three places. In the warehouse, out on a job or at the repairers. I want to create a query that will let me know where a piece of equipment is at any one time. I'm sure my tables are set up correctly. I have use a union query to work out when equipment is on a job or in repairs but I need one to show me where all the equipment currently is.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.
Sorry, I tried searching the forums with no luck.
What I need to do is.
I have a table with a field called intervention day, the user then types in that field a date, pretty simple huh.
Well anyway I need the system to some how alert the user when that date comes, either through an information box or whatever.

I need a flag(indicator) for my database. This flag would be read by many different functions and depending on the value of the flag, would do one of two things.
Example: If the flag is "A", when I click a button in a form it does "C" function. If the flag is "B", then in case of the previous button it will do "D" function.
What I'm having a hard time with is where to store said flag. Mind you the flag is either one or the other ("A" or "B") for the entire database, not just a specific record(s). I thought about adding a field to my 'master' table and then use an update query to change all the values from "A" to "B" as needed, but that seemed a bit like storing redundant data.
How or where should I store this flag?
Hey there
there is a function that I wanted to do on my form but can't think of a way
what I want to do is to show up a flag after 14 days and 28 days of a date with missed appointment being ticked
say there are two fields in the section
AppointmentDate
Missed
Will I be able to do this in access?
Please advice
Cheers

hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to flag dates in access. I have 2 dates entered and I need a flag to appear if the second date is a month longer than the first date entered. Hope this makes sense and hope you can help
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, just so you are aware, I am totally clueless when it comes to Microsoft Access. I tried finding tutorials and help online that I could use to do this but I'm having trouble understanding what I'm supposed to do. I have two huge tables linked to each other by an ID number. One table contains multiple records with the same ID number while the other does not. There are records in the first table that don't appear in the second one, and there MAY be entries in the second table that don't appear in the first table. The second table has a flag that I would like to add to records in the first table that appear in the second table. What is the easiestt way to do this? This may be an extremely stupid question or it may be very hard, I'm not sure which, though I'm leaning toward it being a stupid question. Thank you in advance for your help.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI print a certificate for each person attending my class by sending the form (StudentForm) to a report . To save time I print and sign certificates for all preregistered students then during class I enter all students that enroll the day of class. What I would like to do is flag each preprinted record so when I select the print button after all students are entered into the database all certificates except the preprinted records will be printed. Any ideas on how to flag a printed record?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm aware of the wizard in MS Access that creates a new table containing duplicated entries that have been entered under one column, however, my problem is slightly more complex...
A contractor of mine has recorded information from CCTV surveys of sewers (not very glamorous I know!) in a Microsoft Access database. If you can imagine - the camera can be pushed along a pipe from both ends. Sometimes, the survey is abandoned in one direction and then repeated along the same length of pipe but from the other direction. The database contains (amongst other columns) a "start manhole" reference and a "end manhole" reference.
eg:
16014
As you can see, the information contained by both entries will be the same (as they are the same length of pipe). Therefore, I was wondering how I could get MS Access to:
1. Recognise these 2 entries as duplicates
2. Create a table that hides the duplicated entry with a shorter "SectionLength" value.
Many thanks in advance.
I need to build a Query that will look at a previous table and a new table and flag any changes...what is the best way to go about something like this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a knowledge base database which lets the user search for articles containing answers to common problems and issues. Some of the users want to be able to bookmark certain useful articles. The DB is a front end/back end design so I am thinking if I have one table stored in the front end which can be used to store that particular user's favourites then that would be great. However, I a little stuck on how to implement this. Ideally, I'd like a simple checkbox option next to each article, which when ticked, would store that article ID in that user's local front end.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.
How to implement the procedure of clicking on the flag and hide the field in VBA? I know that want to assign - ColumnWidth=0.
Сomplete procedure fails.
I have a stock-type record and a stock-item record.
I want to update a flag on the stock-type record called instock to be true if there are related stock-item records and false if there are no related records.
Does anyone know how to run a updating query that will do this?
I am fairly new to this so I'm sorry if this is a bit of a basic question.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Another question on how might be the best way to do things with dates ?
I have a simple database which is a fault database.
I get an email request to investigate something and I log it and give it a ticket number. If I email back , I put the comments that I sent in the email in the update field on the database.
When I create the ticket its in an open state with a date and time stamp of now()
When I close (drop down box with open and close as options) the ticket it automatically updates the time in the closed filed to Now()
What I want to do is when I updated my comments field , this sets a date value in a hidden field on the form of Now()
So then I need an expression that looks at the difference between the updated time and the now time
i.e. I update a call on 29/7/2006 at 10:00 am
Its now 30/7/2006 at 10:01
i.e 24hrs and 1 minute later
As its more than 24hrs this flags and output to a filed e.g. 1
I then total all the "1" and therefore I have a ticket count of how many calls have not been updated in 24hrs.
So Im assuming I will need an after update event on my comments field put today's date in this hidden field ,and then maybe some sort of code which is maybe on my switchboard which looks at the difference of these dates and if greater than (or equal too) 24hrs it will output a value of 1.
And If I can do this I can also have a flag if its more than 2 days , then clear the 24hr flag an increment a 24hr flag etc.
My tickets should all be closed with 24 hrs , so this is something to capture anything that is open and hasn't been updated in 24hrs
Id appreciate some guidance on the best way to do this ?
Cheers

I have a table with numerous fields including timeIn and timeOut field (these are date/time format). I need to find out how many people were clocked in during each operating hour (based upon their time in and time out). How can I run a query that will allow me to use the times in and out to 'flag' each hour that each person was on duty (a new field for each hour) so that I can run a count on the completed data for every hour?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to automate a membership status flag based on comparing today's date and a recorded expiry date. The expiry date control is on a sub-form. I have the following code in the OnLoad event of the master form:
Dim DateGap As Integer
While Me.CurrentRecord < Me.Recordset.RecordCount
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
DateGap = DateDiff("y", Date, Forms!PersonalMasterF!MemberSubF.Form.MemberExpire )
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
[Code] .....
With debug pointing to the DateGap = statement I get the error 'Invalid use of Null'. As you can see, I've tried to trap any new records it might run into to avoid nulls in MemberExpire, and there are no null values in the MemberExpire field of the underlying table. I've also tried defining DateGap as Variant, which does not work at all.
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
If you've got a library database with three tables: books, clients, borrowings, would it be okay to have a field in 'books' that flags whether or not the book is currently on loan - or should that fact always be elicited from a search of the 'borrowings' table?

How do I find the file location of the current database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all.
I have been working on an Inventory Database over the past few weeks and I have run into a problem.
Currently I am designing the database to use the common way to calculate on-hand inventory levels (Latest Stocktake(cycle count) + Received - Used). The problem comes when I am trying to calculate this value.
A solution that seems to work is to take stocktake for a given product using the ProductID and date. I have a child table linked to this one to show the quantity and locations of the product. However, with this method, I will have to count the inventory for every location the product is in when the stocktake is taken. This method may work, but accidents may happen and an employee may forget to count both locations when taking stock. Then current inventory levels will be way off.
Is there an easier or more efficient way to do this?

Okay trying to get at an mdb that I have copied from the live network drive onto my own machine. Each time I try and look at a table in design or data mode it keeps trying to locate the table on the network drive.
How do I tell access to look at the copy on local drive? Using version 2003, and don't remember this issue from version 97.
