Just curious as to what others are working on. Here is what I'm in the middle of and what the basic purpose is:
It's a db to track parts we swap with our customers. It's primary table is on a sql sever so that the anyone in our company can view only the data via DAP's. The other tables are in the .mdb on the file sever. I plan on having it up and running in the next week or so. It will be used (add/edit,etc data), by approx 8-15 users in three different buildings off a file server share folder...
I am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
Hello, So far you guys have been helping me through my database that i am building. Thanks so far!But at the moment i need help on one more aspect of this Database Job. Currently i have a database that supports and holds records for jobs that are under contract. That means we have certain numbers and statistics of Jobs and there properties.what i have right now is a table with a couple fields. (there are more than this but this is just for example) project number "primary key" aerial units buried units planning units ICGS unitsThat part works fine with the current table. But since jobs are under contract the number of units might change further on during the design and construction. There may be more than one mod.Now the part that im stuck on is the most important. I need a table/query/form/report that i can input the changes to particular units. Like i said before there might be more than 1 mod. So i need to make it show ALL the mods ive done to a project.This is a huge part, and any help would be very much appriciated. ~Thanks so muchJon
I need to be able to add a feature to an Access project that will select a group of records based on an area code( user will have to be able to select a desired number like 100, or 1000), mark those as selected, and create a single csv file...The area codes are stored in the SQL SERVER database...right now they just export groups of #'s based on area code to excel select the amount they want and cut and paste into a flat file for another application to use...they would like to be able to select a number from a list box or type it in...like 100 ( which means take a 100 #'s from all different area codes) then have them automatically noted in database as being selected..and then export all selections to one csv file... should I do part of the work in the Sql Server behind the scenes..the format of the csv file also needs to be specific in that the first row is the columns separated by commas and then the data follows all text fields enclosed by qoutes.. Thanks for anyone's help ..Im very inexperienced with VB and Access
I have an orders form that looks up data from 3 tables (projects, orders and orderDetail) with a subform that looks up data from a query.
The form has several unbound comboboxes relating to the project that synchronise with VBA code
Projects are setup in another form and this form is only used to lookup or add orders to existing projects, so project data will remain the same on the form
At the moment when I press the 'add new order' button, it does not clear the unbound combo boxes and all the data in bound fields and subform is cleared.
When I press the 'Add new Order' button I want the form to clear all the data on the form and subform relating to the order_table, but to retain, or automatically update(with the same data), the data in the fields relating to the project table.
I have two tables. The first is a list of users. The second is a list of projects. I need to loop through the user list and assign each one to a project. At the end of the user list it will just start over at the top until all the projects have someone assigned to it. What is the best way to do this?
Table1 Users
User1 User2 User3
Assignments
ProjectAssigned To Project1 Project2 Project3 Project4 Project5 Project6
After processing.
ProjectAssigned To Project1User1 Project2User2 Project3User3 Project4User1 Project5User2 Project6User3
My boss and I are in a jam. We have been using Access to run a reporting process, but one of our tables will exceed the maximum fields allotted this month. Our thought, dump the table into SQL Server and use the GUI interface provided in Access Projects.
Unfortunately, the query designer seems to have a few drawbacks. The one that effects us the most is in using UPDATE queries where more than one table is used to determine records to be updated. In attempting it, we get the message: "The designer does not graphically support the Optional FROM clause SQL construct".
Now I know we can manually create Update Queries, but we often need 1,000+ in a short period of time. Manually punching in all the fields involved and other code just isn't timely.
Question: Is there some alternative, service pack or anything else that would allow us to graphically create these Update Queries using Access Projects or even SQL Server 7.0? I would hate to have to scrap all the work we did over something that seems so minor.
I'm aiming to create a stacked area chart to display the progress of multiple projects over time, so we can review and forecast project load over time.
A project passes through the statuses Prospect, Confirmed, Started, Complete. The current status of each is calculated in qryStatus from the dates in tblProject. The past and forecast statuses for each project will probably be calculated each time the chart is created (or maybe not necessarily so?)
To create the stacked area chart, the x-axis will be months (e.g. Sept 2013 - July 2015). On the y-axis will be the count of ProjectID, and the series will be the different project statuses.
The sticking point is getting from the Date* fields to the past and forecast statuses in each month. After that I imagine it'll be reasonably straightforward to put into a pivot/chart.
I've attached a rudimentary example db to give an example of what I'm trying to achieve.
There is a form on the db called Resourcing with several combos.
When I choose a Training_Type from the first combo it automatically filters the Project_Title combo to show only the projects that match that training type. When I choose a Trainer_Name the text box for team automatically completes.
The bit I'm struggling with is Trainer_Name. As you will see from the table Course_Details not every trainer can deliver every Project_Title. So what I want is to display only the trainers associated with the project title chosen rather than displaying the whole team in the Trainer_Name combo.
Someone suggested a junction table but I'm not sure how this would answer my question. I'm thinking some sort of Dlookup but don't know how I would write it when it has to include data from four fields.
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..
hi, I have a simple qst. I have a subform that I show as a grid. I have a field called importe that I need to do an insert with it when I press a button on my form. The thing is. How Can I get the current row of the grid in the subform? After I get the currentrow, How can I insert this value on a variable via vb script? I'm using access 2003 thanks MAriano
I need a query so that only date in the current week ending are shown i.e. so that the query automatically updates every week to show the latest data for the week ending.
There's this problem that has been racking my brain all day. I have a form that contains a subform (modelling a many to many relationship). So a person and the applications he/she uses. I then have a combobox with a list of applications and a button below the combobox. When something is selected from the combobox and then the button is pressed, the application gets connected to the user. The problem I'm having is that say a person is just being added and no information is entered yet. If the user tries to add an application, my code tries to tie the two key's (autonumber id's) together (but there isn't one yet for the non-existant person) and the code blows up. Shouldn't access just make one when the form is opened? I guess access waits until there is data added in order to create a new primary key.
So I really don't have a clue how to solve this issue. I tried just running an insert SQL statement but I have no data to insert. And then, I would have to use a DLookup for the id, but I would have nothing to search on. I really don't know how to fix this problem. Any ideas?
I'm creating a database for a college assignment, and for this database, I need to record the current user ID when a record is created/updated. But I dont know the function (like, Now() returns the current date/time) that gives me the user ID. The help files are awful and I cant find the function I need =(
Probably an easy one here.. Got a table that I will like to do a query on.. All I need is to list all records for the current month. So obviously, when it goes to the next month, the query would update and show only records for that month.
What do I need to put under the date criteria to get this query?!?.. Any ideas?
I have around 50 jobs on a table. These have a 'start date' of various dates in a year. A field called 'complete' indicates whether a job has been closed off or not and a field called 'frequency' determines how often the jobs recurr (in days).
I need a query (which I'll run every night) which will examine all the incomplete jobs on the table and copy all this data to new jobs and change the 'start date' to the previous 'start date' + 'frequency'.
That in itself is not the problem. My problem is how to tell Access that when the current and next instances of a job exist, not to copy it a third time.
In other words, after the query runs there should always be 2 instances of the job on the table...current and next.
I have a query that pulls all orders out of 3 tables that fit specific criteria.
tblLotInfo.WOSD = Between ([tblLotInfo].[WOSD])<=Date() And [Forms]![frmRaisedPanelLots].[EndingDate]
tblDelivery.Status = <>"On Floor" And <>"Floor Hold" And <>"On Floor LV Losee" And <>"On Floor LV N. 5th" And <>"On Floor ONT Cucamonga" And <>"On Floor ONT Locust" And <>"Shipped" And <>"Installed" And <>"Invoiced" And <>"Completed" And <>"Cancelled" And <>"Returned to Floor LV Losee" And <>"RETURNED TO FLOOR N. 5th" And <>"Returned to Floor ONT Cucamonga" And <>"Returned to Floor ONT Locust"
tblLotInfo.DoorStyle = Like "*eagle*" Or Like "*H/E*" Or Like "*RP*" Or Like "*F/E*" Or Like "*CC-23R*" Or Like "*AR-756*" Or Like "*Deco*"
This query works fine through 12/29/05. Anything date entered after that gives me "NO CURRENT RECORD". I don't know why. We have orders through Feb of next year scheduled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I am working on a query to select the most current value for a given record based on dates. The record has an associated cost for a given year say 2000. For years 2001 to 2006 there is no cost. I want to use the cost in 2000 for the most current cost even though my date criteria specifies say 2002. Can this be done within the select query?
I looked for a post with something similar with what I want, but i did not found. I need to make a query in access and that query must have a field "current number" that field should return the number of the line. Let say I have a list of 10 people, the "Curent number" should return for the first line 1 for the second 2 ....for the last line 10.
I have a control on a form where a user inputs a number then presses enter. The AfterUpdate event prints a report. The problem is that it prints the previous record each time its updated. I want to print the current record. Maybe some type of requery before the event happens. Any ideas?
I need to mine the Proper Name of the current user and automatically populate a field on a form. I've tried default value = currentname() and all I get returned is Admin. How can I retrieve the Proper Name of the network username and auto populate a field? Any help is appreciated.
I need help to get current record with different ids: Dim strDocName As String Dim strWhere As String strDocName = "16kanaler" strWhere = "[skjema_16_gr1_ID]=" & Me!skjema_16_gr1_ID DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acViewPreview, , strWhere How can I use more Ids in the wherecondition? I want to get the current record for skjema_16_gr1_ID and skjema_16_gr2_ID, not only the first.
