Customer & Supplier - What If They Are Both?
Aug 14, 2006
Currently my design consists of a table for customers and a table for suppliers. At first it seems logical. Or so I thought!
As my design is evloving I have noticed a problem. What if a supplier calls and says "I want to purchase a..." they then also become a customer!
Obvoius I know but do I leave the design (attached) as is or disolve the supplier table and then just add one field called [CustSupp] and have three options to choose from "Customer", "Supplier" or "Both"
I could then base any other forms like the [FrmCustomers] on a query that looks at the [CustSupp] field and has a Like "Customer" criteria
Whst is the best method. Any advice greatly received.

I have a Table Sales - that lists customer and order information
Most of the customers are new - is there a way to populate Customer Name Table with a new entry each time a new customer is input into the Sales Tale
(Without having to add the custome to Customer Name Table - then going to Sales Order)
OR
Failing that - is there a way to use a list box that points to Customer Name Table (and if it doesn't find the one you want, will allow you toadd a new record) In the SAME form as you use to add to Sales Table.
So:
Date (textbox linking to form.Sales) Customer Name (List Box linking to form.CustomerName + adding the info to form.Sale)

I have a DB set up with a debtors table (Customers) and a Customer Contacts table, I was thinking of combining these two tables into one.Most of the Debtors are companies, but a few are actual people. With the current setup, i need to have both a debtor and a customer in two different tables, but with exactly the same data.

I have been plodding along slowly building up a small DB and have hit a slight snag (or 2).
I have a Supplier Form (frmSuppliers). I have a frmSupplierContacts.
I want to prevent users entering data in the standalone frmSupplierContacts?
Also on frmPurchaseOrders I have a combo ContactID. I want the combo to display Supplier Contact Names for the selected supplier only.
I have put as row source:
SELECT tblSupplierContacts.ContactID, [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] AS Contact FROM tblSupplierContacts WHERE (((tblSupplierContacts.SupplierID)=Forms!frmPurcha seOrders!SupplierID)) ORDER BY [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName];
This displays a Contact Name, but does not change if you select a different supplier?
Hopefully attached DB will explain all.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Phil.

I've got a table called invoice with a field supplier and another one invoice_category among others.
How can I retrieve all the suppliers that have more than two categories in the invoice table.
I tried
Code:
select count(*) from (select distinct invoice_category from invoice)
but it didn't work.

Hi,
I'm creating a db for customers and each customer can have many service orders.
In the customer form I have two buttons, one to create a new service order and one to open existing service orders.
Both buttons work as they are supposed to although I am doing this with custid, so both the customer and serviceorder tables have a field called custid and when the button is clicked to show existing service orders it matches both custid's and shows the corresponding records. However it onlt works at the moment with me manually entering the custid in the field in the serviceorder table. When a new service order is created I need the custid to be entered in both tables.
I hope this makes some sense, any help is grately appreciated!!

Hi,
I currently have a "customer" form (which displays client details from a table - name, address etc) I would like to add history comments for each customer.
Does anyone know how i would go about doing this.
I image i could press a button on the current "customer" form that will open a history form which after typing a comment would be displayed on the main "customer" form, with date, time and comment.
I would obviously be able to add lots of comments to each record.
i would be greatful for any kind of help
Regards
Chris

Thanks in advance for any help with this situation.
I have a table that contains all my customer information. Name, address, phone etc. The primary key for the table is an account number I assign to each customer. I am trying to make a section on my form where it displays a list of each interaction I have with my customer. A date and an interaction or case number. I made a second table with the same account number as a primary key to link them.
I have a tabbed form, on the first tab is all the information from my first table (name, account number, address phone etc.) and on the second tab I want to display the interactions for only the customer who's account number appears on the first tab of the form.
I tried putting a subform under the second tab, when I scroll through to records on the first tab, the interaction records for that account number do not appear on the second tab subform.
Any idea of how to do this?
Thanks very much,
Siirous

Hi, I am new to access and have just started to build our first database. We are an engineering company who sells automotive components. I have set up the database to process customer orders. Some of the products we sell are remanufactured and sold on an exchange basis. So, once a unit has been sold at some point in the future the customers original unit comes back to us to be remanufactured - but this is not the case with all products we sell.
The exchange units are booked in using a tracking number and then given a unique reference number. I want to create a database that enables me to book an order and be able to enter a courier tracking number for the old unit when a return is required. The tracking number is given to us by our couriers. I want my staff to be able to enter the tracking number and the original customer order to then appear, they then need to enter the unique number given to the return unit.
The problem I have with this is that the exchange unit is normally returned weeks after the original order was sent, and that not every product requires an exchange. Is there a simple way of dealing with this?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Rebecca

I checked the sample DB section, but could not find what I am looking for: a anonymous customer satisfaction database. Just a shell I can build upon. Does anyone here have anything similar I might be able to use?

Hi
I am new to Access and would like to learn by taking on small projects.
Does any body know any good tutorials for beginners that could show how to start a database for a list of customers or something similar?
I have looked at the ones that can be created with the Wizards but obviously this doesn't help you understand the mechanics.
I would like to learn the 'nuts and bolts' so that I can expand the database and create new ones the more advanced I become.
Any good suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I'm not even sure how to describe my problem in the proper terms in order to look it up in any faq or tutorial.
I have one table, customers. Their name, number, etc.
Another table, products: Name, id, department, etc.
And the final table being orders. Customer bought product when, etc.
However, I'm only able to attach one product to each customer per order. I need to be able to attach any number of products, and I don't know how to go about doing that.
Also, when I create a form for entering all the data to these tables, the information doesn't stick. I create a form using the order table, enter the order and customer information, and have the products as a subform. The information will stick for each table, but they won't connect to each other.
If that makes any sense...
Any pointers would be great thanks, I don't even know where to start.

I have a table with every invoice I have raised to my customers on it (160,000 records so far). Every record identifies the customer and the date of the invoice. I would like a query that returns details of the last 4 invoices raised to each customer based on the date of the invoice. So, if I have 100 customers I would expect 400 records returned. I have spent ages searching and reading the forums re this and have seen several post that I "think" are similar, but I think I'm too daft to understand the solutions put forward. I "think" this involves a module to count but as I have never written a module in my life am a bit confused. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Each time a customer is recorded they are given an ID let say 301, each ID may have 1 to many items listed under it. How would I query the ID, customer info and the list of items?
eg.
ID - 301
Info - mr smith, address, etc.
items - hat, coat, shoes, etc.
If he then came back for more items he would get a new ID.
under the ID his info and items would be held not the name

I have a table with customers details(Address Etc) but there is too many for me to use a combo or list box so i would like to use a text box.
Here lies my problem.
What i need is to be able to enter into a text box on form1 the first few letters of the customer ID no and this will open a hidden subform that will list the customers with those first few letters.
I then want to be able to select one from the list using the number keys and once i press enter it opens another form(form2) with all the customer information already inserted into the text boxes on form2.

Hey guys, I have a question that I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on. Before I ask it, I am new to access. I have been looking at templates and reading and things on how to build a database. I have my tables setup, relationships I think are right and my form created. One of the things I am having trouble with is creating a drop down list to be able to pick a customer name for. I setup the combo box and have a customerID as the control source in the properties. I have the Row Source Type as table/query and the Row Source query setup so it takes the info from the customer table.
query:
field: customer.* name
table: customer customer
I think I am doing this the same way the templates have the properties but for some reason it won't allow me to pick from the list. It keeps saying "control can't be edited. It's bound to unknown field 'CustomerID'".
I attached my database. I hope it is clear enough that you might see what I have done wrong. Thanks in advance.
