Data Succession-passing Db Tables To New Operators
Feb 23, 2006
I am preparing a database application that will be used by one person in an organization. Frequently , (every year or two) the program will be given to another (usually a laptop) user in the organization as that person assumes the task of the program’s operation and responsibilities.
I would like the user to load the program from the installation CD (made with Wise Installation System and SageKey softwares) on each computer each time there is a brand new user and each time a subsequent user takes over. However, each successive user needs to have the data files passed from the last user.
At face value it seems that having a front end/back end arrangement might be the most desirable. Can anyone jump start me on the best way to accomplish this process to EZ data transfer?
Thanks in advance to all,
JQ

I have a bit of a dilemma in my related tables (screen shot of relationships attached).
Basically at the moment I am using a 1-1 relationship between my tables using the primary key of CYID. The CYID is populated using an auto number at the moment but the problem I have is if the tables become out of sync with the numbering.
What I would like to do is when I create a new record in tblClientDetails is create a new record in each corresponding table that is linked and then pass the CYID across to each table. Can anyone offer any assistance or give me any suggestions for better ways of doing this?

Currently, we have a table which contains a field for each type of training that can be taken (FUT1, FUT2, ...). Once an Instructor has taken one seminar, the table is populated with the date taken, via their employee number (the key) through an update form.
Now, the company wants the paper training reports to turn into a digital part of this database. As envisioned, the form and associated table will have combo boxes with pre-determined training types (FUT1, FUT2, ...). The date would be typed in.
The problem I see is getting the dates and training type from the future table to populate the existing table in the correct field for the correct Instructor.
In addition, there exists a report which prints out the training dates for each Instructor at each school. This is will still be in use.

Is it possible to have operators (<, >, <=, >=) in an IIF statement like this:
iif([field a] is null, > [field b], < [field c])
This is in the criteria for a currency field.
I have been trying different combinations without any luck for the last couple of hours or so. :confused: :confused:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I'm gonna try to explain my problem.
In fact, I have a form where I have a list where the user can select the following signs :
<, >, >=, <=, = (greater than, less than etc...)
Also, the user has the possibility to set the value that will be go with the operator above.
I tried the following expression in the query :
=[Forms]![Open_Form]![Sign CL AMT] & [Forms]![Open_Form]![CL_Amt]
the sign CL Amt is > and the CL AMt is 500'000 and I want to have >500000 in the criteria of the query in order to have only the amount above 500'000.
But is does not work.
I get the message : "The expression is typed incorectly or is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables"
If some one has a solution would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Dan

I'm having difficulty coming up with a way to exlcuded a group of dates from my Query. I am trying to have a set of dates come up without the dates, between 7/1/2006 and 7/31/2006.

I am trying to store binary values (as decimal long integers) and then use bitwise comparisons to update the values. MS help suggest that the standard logical operators (And or etc) can do bitwise comparison as opposed to comparing boolean logical values for expressions; but I have found no way of making this work.
Is this possible? Any ideas. Doing it mechanically, by splitting the decimal into the relevant parts for any bit is very tedious!

Ihow to formulate a calculated field properly that would look for records that has at least 'annual report' in a specific field.
For example, a record with a field ([DocumentType]) with "2013 annual report", another record with a field ([DocumentType]) with "2012 annual report" and then I would like to count in those records and exclude the other records.
Here is the formula I wrote:
Code:
Report: IIf([TABLE]![DocumentType]<>"Annual Report",[TABLE]![Name],"")
Maybe I am using the wrong operator or something....?

I am currently learning the Totals in Access 2003, using the Group By and it's drop down menu which has all the Min,Max,Sum Count etc Expressions.
I have a table of which I need to create a query, the table contains info with Mechanics names and jobs that they have done, often a mechanics name appears more than once in the table.
Which Expression do I use to query the number of mechanics in the table? When I use the Count the query contains all of the mechanics names including the the ones whose names appear more than once! :confused:
Any help would be gratefully appreciated I look forward to any replies thank you.

I'm trying to pass data from a macro using DDE to Access (it must use DDE), however, I can't seem to get the data to a Module, Macro or Form (either one will do).
Is there a way to pass arguments to any of these three? I'd imagine the easiest would be to run a macro like DDEExecute channel1, "[RunMacro MyMacro]" but how can I pass the data specifically do the Macro?

Hi,
i'm quite new to Access and I have a problem passing data from one form onto another.
I have a form that I use for quotations based on the table T Quotations on it I have:
QuotationID as my primary
RefCust referring to which customer
Date
and a few other fields
Now i'd like to add a button that when clicked will open my order form. In other words when a quote is confirmed I'd like to click on the quotation form to confirm it and create an order on the order form.
Order form will open with a orderID autogenerated BUT will return the same RefCust as on the Quotation form, the same date and will give the quotationID as Refquote onto the new form.
Ex: on form quotation I have
Cust: abc company
QuotationID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007
Quote: $300
when i click on confirm
the Order form will open with:
OrderID: 002 (autogenerated)
RefQuoteID: 123
Date: Feb 25 2007 (even though today might be April 10)
RefQuote: $300
Please help me

I have a hidden field on my form called "key". I can reffer to it as [forms]![MyForm]!key Is that right?
I also have a subform on this form that uses an sql query. I want this query to match on the key from above.
Shouldn't this work? select field1, field2 from table1 where keyvalue = [forms]![MyForm]!key
It doesn't. It returns a blank record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a form called frmSchedule. Within this form, I have a combo box called cmbCD. I have code in the cmbCD NotInList Event. If the user inputs a number not in the list, the folowing code opens up a new form (frmPatients). The user can now add a new record to the database.
Code:
Private Sub cmbCD_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
Dim Result
Dim Msg As String
Dim CR As String
CR = Chr$(13)
[Code] ....
I got this code and it works. However, when the user inputs a new number in frmSchedule, the NotInList event takes them to frmPatients. The users then have to re-type the number in frmPatients.
My question is: Is there a way I can trasfer the NewData from frmSchedule into frmPatients, so the users don't have to re-type the number?

Hi - I am looking for some help understanding the instructions in the msdn article on how to pass a parameter from a DAP. Please refer to the article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnacc2k2/html/odc_PassParam.asp
I was able to follow the instructions until Page 2 of this article...where it says: "Add the functions to write, read and delete cookies in a separate global script block."
I do not understand how to create a global Script block. Do I just copy and paste this code right below the 1st code on Page 2? Or, is there a way to create a global script block separately and add this code there?
I am unable to find that much Online resources on DAP as other Access topics. I thought posting my question here would be the last resort for assistance! :confused:

I have a search form that searches for student ID from the student demographics table. I have it set when I click on the student ID (Frm_Student_Demographics_DailyCares) it will open the student visit form. When the student visit form opens it will show the student ID on the Student Visit Form but it is not being recorded in the student visit table.
I have Student ID control source on the Student Visit Form set as:
=[Forms]![frm_SearchStudent_DailyCares]![Frm_Student_Demographics_DailyCares].[Form].[SD_Record_ID].[Value]
My tables are called Student Demographics(parent table) and Student Daily Cares(child table) and they are linked by Student ID.
I have done this before on another part of this database but I just simply can't seem to find what I missed.
Here is a sample of my forms and tables.

I have a report where my customer wants to be able to input a value and then be able to select whether the report shows values above or below that value. I have a combo box that has 2 values (1=Less than or equal to, 2=greater than or equal to). There is a text box where he inputs the rate to compare against (e.g. $75). When he hits submit, the application stores the values of the combo box and text box into global variable and then I have a public function that can be used to retrieve the values. GetHRate() gets the value to compare against and GetHRateCompare() gets the value to indicate <=(1) or >=(2).
In my query for criteria for rate I have this expression:
IIf(GetHRateCompare()=1,"'<=",">=") & GetHrate()
I've tried every combination of double quotes, single quotes, no quotes moving the GetHRate inside the IIf statement and nothing seems to work.
If I just hardcode <=GetHrate() into the criteria it works perfect but that does not achieve my goal of letting him select over/under at run time. Here's the full query:
SELECT qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.ServiceName, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.ScheduleID, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.SumOfTotalTim e, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.PropertyID, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.PropertyName, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.MonthCount, qryCustomers_AverageTimeByScheduleID.AverageTime,
[Code] ....

I have a function in a module that looks like this (it takes 2 dates as arguments):
Code:
Function get_KPIScanAgeRange(in_ScanDate As Date, KPIDate As Date) As String
Dim ret As String
ret = "Invalid"
' return value, by default is because age is negative number
[Code] .....
I'm trying to pass the date in a text box which exists in a form called "d3FormAging". The text box name is "KPIDate". The query looks like this:
Code:
SELECT Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]) AS KPIScanAgeRange, Count(Query_d3_Open.[Scan date]) AS Scans
FROM Query_d3_Open
GROUP BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate])
ORDER BY Query_d3_Open.[Company No], get_KPIScanAgeRange([Scan date],[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]);
For some reason Access doesn't recognize the "[Forms]![d3FormAging]![KPIDate]" when I pass it to the function. I get run-time error 3070 with information that Access can't recognize this expression even though the code should be correct as it's made with the expression builder and I'm sure the form that contains the text box is open when the query runs.

I have a function that when called transfers a query recordset to an excel spreadsheet then emails it. At the end of the function I use code to write the date sent to a table. Each time the function is called I only need records in the query that have been modified since the last time the function was called. I have a field in the query 'LastModified' with a criteria '>[Enter Date]'. I then look up the date in the table and enter it manually. I know how to look up the last date sent in table using code but getting the >#SomeDate# in the query with VBA.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , "qryUpdateWebmaster", _
"C:SubmarinersUpdates_Sent" & fname & ".xlsx", True, "Webmaster_Update"

I have a form with a date field, when the user creates a new record, I would like the date field to automatically fill with the most up-to-date date from the Orderdate table.
Basically I need the code to do the following when a new record is created;
Search the Orderdate table for the most recent date and then auto fill the date field on the form with that date!!!!
My thinking so far...
Private Sub Command34 - where would you set this event on the properties i.e. Before update or On Got Focus ?
Docmd.OpenQuery "QryFindMaxDate"
I'm not really sure how to pass the date to the text box on the form,
End Sub

I have a form that displays a stock inventory, one of the fields I use is called [ItemCode].
On the Stock_Inventory form I have 10 command buttons that open other forms to display additional product information.
These were previously sub_forms that sat in a tabbed control box within the Stock_Inventory Form but as it now takes a while for the form to load (lots of queries running each time you search for a product) users are getting slightly frustrated.
So, what I decided to do, was move each subform from the tabbed control into a new form and open that form when it is needed by the user.
OK, when I open Stock_Inventory and search for a product [ItemCode = "ABC123"] and then want to see the Sales_History, I have to open my new form, Stock_Inventory_Sales_History, within this form are two sub-forms, each subform has a field called [ItemCode].
However, when Stock_Inventory_Sales_History opens it asks me to input the parameter [ItemCode] twice, I presume this is because the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History does not have a record source and that the subforms need [ItemCode="ABC123"] to run each query and return the data.
I need to pass the [ItemCode] from the Stock_Inventory form to each of the 2 Subforms that are on the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History form automatically.
