Basically what I am wanting to know is how difficult is it going to be to do the following.
I want to have 8 searchable fields, first name, last name, MO, Job code, etc etc. I want to be able to type somthing in any one of these fields and then when i hit a submit button I want to to return to me all the data that corresponds to what I am looking for. I know I could just create a simple query from the query wizard but i want everything in the program to look uniform as to not throw every one off. How difficult would this be and how should I go about doing it. If you need more information let me know.
I have made a function returning True/False values. I used this function in a query and now it return value Error as well...Is there a way to set criteria to values received in that field (0/-1/#Error). I've tried putting Like 0, Like True with or without quotation mark.Also every workaround comes into play as long as it works.
I am trying to create a query to find duplicates and delete the duplicates. The result will eventually be used in another query (append query) to update a table.I have a table with 4 columns lets say for simplicity they are A, B, C, D
I want my query to find duplicates within B and deleting them. The catch is before deleting them I need to look into column A to ebsure they are actually duplicates. Example below
Example A B John Doe Tires John Doe Wipers Allison Doe Tires Allison Doe Tires
As you can see from the above Tires is a duplicate and need to be deleted.
A B John Doe Tires John Doe Wipers Allison Doe Tires
Database query. I need the query to count the records of a field and display a number for the records of the field. For instance, one field is [Genre] and the other is [Show]. The query needs to list the Genres along with the number of shows for each genre. I've been able to just use the query design and add the genre field and I can add the show field, use totals count which gives me the genre counts the number of shows. My problem is the null. Some genres don't have a show listed so the genre doesn't even show up in the result. If I could get the the genres that have null shows to result a 0 it would be perfect.
I have made a database for work and is fully functional, but theres one thing I want to add but cant get my head around how to do it.
I have created a Form called 'Filtered Search', on the form it has multiple combo boxes for 'Auditors' 'Area' 'Status' and 2 text boxes for date range.
I want to be able to set what filters I want, and for the query to ignore any fields with no information selected/inputted (i.e. I want to see all records raised by "Mr Smith" (Auditor) that are still 'Active' (Status) in all areas at any time).
Names of items;
Table = 'Incidents' Form = 'Filtered Search' Report = 'Filtered Report' Auditor = 'Combo7' Status = 'Combo156' Area = 'Combo5' Date Range From = 'Text161' Date Range To = 'Text163'
Code: SELECT tblData2.Prefix, tblData2.LineNum, tblData2.Year, tblComments.comment, tblComments.Address FROM tblData2 LEFT JOIN tblComments ON tblData2.LineNum = (NumbersOnly([tblComments].[Address]) WHERE (((tblData2.MyYear)<1990)) ORDER BY tblData2.LineNum;
The NumbersOnly function returns a set of numbers from a custom formatted string. The above fails on the join (I think) but maybe there's another way of doing it?
How do you grab a custom Fiscal Year's values based on the system clock's date?
I am building a query where I want to see the number of closed cases based on the current custom fiscal year with the system clocks date. The report that it feeds only cares about the current FY.
I need the System Clock's FY value in this query
Code: SELECT shortname AS Station, NZ(TotalCount.TotalCases,0) AS [Cases Complete] FROM StationList LEFT JOIN (SELECT station, count([Open Issues].ID) AS TotalCases FROM [Open Issues] WHERE [Status]="Closed" GROUP BY Station) AS TotalCount ON StationList.shortname =TotalCount.station;
Within the Query Open Issues I have the FY broken up
HI all, I have recently created my own custom toolbar for my database which works fine on my computer, but when the database is transfered to another computer via a memory stick (needs to be done as it is going to be used on remote laptops away from the main network), the custom toolbar does not carry over. Instead of the custom toolbar being shown, the normal, main toolbars are reset to the default ones shown.
Is there a way of stopping the toolbars reseting when transfering the database so that my custom toolbar is the default toolbar?
I have a custom toolbar in my application. However, it isn't visible at the top of the application window and when I try to make it so - via View - Toolbars - it doesn't appear on the list of available bars.
I had assumed that I had somehow deleted it, but I know it's still present somewhere, as when I try to recreate it, I get a message saying so.
How can I get the toolbar to be displayed? :confused:
I have a database for call outs, i had a problem with double booking, but cured that, my problem now is every time my work mates try to book me in that go into the debug box (accidently) all i need is a ok button only msgbox to say the time is already booked. can anyone plaease help.
Hi all. I have tried searches on here and via google but can't find a difinitive answer to my question. What i would like to do is create a custom help file that will run when the user requests it. I know there is a property option to set a custom help file within a form but i am unsure of the correct process to do this to get it working.
Could someone please help me understand what needs to be done.
when I create a custom toolbar on my db, would that custom toolbar be carried to other copies of my db? I'm hiding all toolbars using code and I need to display only one.
Since the introduction of 2003 when you create a custom menu you always get the 'Type in a question for help' tag and the min max close buttons. Is there any way of removing them or disabling them? :confused:
Hello, I am trying to set up a relatively simple relationship between numeric fields in two (already related) tables. The problem is Access doesn't really support this type of relationship... or in fact, doesn't have an interface for coding your own custom relationships (if it had one, this would be ridiculously easy).
But it doesn't. So I have to turn to you.
To explain my problem better, I'll use a visual aid.
My two tables are as follows, the master is called [Raw Materials] and details is called [Raw Materials Details] (the aptly named).
I guess I should rename the [Raw Materials].[Stock] to something else (as this isn't REALLY data redundancy). But anyway, what I want to do is have the [Raw Materials].[Stock] automatically equal to Sum(Stock) FROM [Raw Materials Details].[Stock]. To rephrase, I want the Total Stock field to be automatically equal the sum of corresponding stocks.
Either way, I have no idea how to go about doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I cant make work, a query with creteria filled within controls of a form. I will be more specific to make u understand what i want to ask. There are 2 text fields and 2 combo boxes. All of them call a report (by pressing a button) from the main table. in the "totalquery" query i call each control this way:
select tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car from tblPeople where tblPeople.Name=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo1] OR tblPeople.tel=[forms]![frmMyform]![text1field] OR tblPeople.age=[forms]![frmMyform]![text2field] OR tblPeople.Car=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo2] GROUP BY tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car;
I want to make it display (the right) results if one of the text filed/combo is filled or with data, or all together or in combinations. i use the OR statement,but it doesnt work if I fill in two fields/combos together and etc. Anyone? :rolleyes:
I have a form with tab pages which I can not change the tab order. When I bring up the Tab Order box no fields are displayed only a Custom Tab Order! Never seen this before. Question is how to get rid of this and be able to change tab orders.
I'm just creating my first db. When I'm on a form looking at a previous record (in this case a transaction), I need to be able to make a minor change to that record (such as the date for a repeat transaction), and then save the record as a whole new record. The button commands I found in the wizards only let me save over the current recond after an edit. Anyone know the easiest way to creaet a command button that does this? Thanks for any insights.
In the table I set the yes/no format "Made";"Recieved" » lookup 'text box'
I made the form and in the textbox and did value list with made and recieved. but it's giving me the could be text when number should be used and vise versa thing.
I am in the process of developing a DB for work. The DB is used to track incident reports and lost/found property reports.
I was interested in using 2 custom autonumbers for 2 different reports within the same DB. I would like to use the format of "I" for an incident report, "F" for the found property reports. So when I start a new Incident report it would generate the following number; "I05-03-001" The "I" specifing that it is an incident report, "05" for the current year, "03" for the current month, and "001 as the next sequential number for the reports for that month.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this done? I would very much appreciate your help.
I have a custom menu on my db, but when another user logs on they have the same toolbar buttons and the same menu but more items that I have originally added. Is there a way to fix this?
I am currently creating a new part of my database which will enable users to store data for Storage Job which we do. the form has a number of fields called "pallet ref1 / pallet ref2" etc. now when the customer phones up and gives the pallet reference number, the user will need to search these fields to find out where in the warehouse the pallets are stored. But i want to create a search that will only search fields "pallet ref1 / pallet ref2" so that it will not have to search all the feilds within each record.
I asked a similar question some time ago, but the answer I got didn't help out a whole lot. Maybe someone else could help me out here. I have a split db which resides on our server. This will soon be joined with MySQL so that multiple users can log on simultaneously. I have created a custom menu bar with the only buttons that I want my users to have. So far the only person that has the buttons I chose on their screen is me, everyone else has more than what I specify. Is there a way that all of my users will have the buttons that I specify? Can this be done with code? Any help would be appreciated.
