Dealing With Cancelled Jobs
Jan 5, 2005
Setup
i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal
it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem
the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help
what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
help?
thanks in advance

I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem:confused:
I'm working on a database to run my window cleaning business. I have a customers table which contains all the details for each customer ie address, name etc.
There is also a Jobs table which will contain a record every time a customer's windows are cleaned.
There is a one to many relationship between them ie, 1 customer to many jobs.
I would like to create a form which would list all the customers which are due to be done and then be able to create a job record for each customer in the Jobs table, showing that it's done, with the click of a button.
For one, I can't get both tables to display on a continous form because of the relationship and then I don't know any other way of creating multiple new records in one go.
Would i have to use VB code for this or is there a simpler way? I just can't get my head around this one:mad:

Hello all, I have an Access database for a project I'm currently working on.
It's a simple stock control system which records sales and the level of stock.
How can I set up a form that when you click a button, two queries are run?
I want to add a record to the 'Sales' table but also modify the 'Stock' table to edit the 'Current Stock' field.
Any ideas?
Thanks

hello all.. trying to resolve an issue in my system..
basically i run a taxi firm.. for those that dont know.
this issue deals with credit card payments, and in particular payments for multiple transfers.
lets say you are booking 2 journeys..
the first journey is on 2nd June from London Heathrow to your hotel in Kensington
the return journey is on 5th June from your hotel back to Heathrow
you want to pay for both journeys at once with your credit card.
both transfers cost £40 each, 40x2 is £80 plus 5% transaction fee is £84.
we keep the credit card details on file to save our passengers time when they want to pay for their journey using the same card.
so lets say we have a job table.. and a credit card table..
Card Table
cardid (pk)
cardtype
nameoncard
last4digits
secnumber
expirydate
startdate
issuenumber
Job Table
job id (pk)
jobdate
jobtime
jobnotes
should i create a new transaction table which holds the jobids that were paid for and the cardid that paid for it..?
shall i include the price of the job in the jobtable.. and store the transaction fee in the transaction table?
if this is clear i would like to hear a few opinions on this.. i will be thinking hard about this over the next few days so i might come to some conclusion but what do you guys think
cheers.
the reason im asking this is because at the moment i am storing the credit card details.. pricing information and job details in the job table..
when i send my passenger an email confirmation.. it sends them the job details, card details and payment details..
this is fine for single transfers.. but if they book more then one transfer i have to send them multiple emails outlining each job individually.. and if they wish to use the same card i have to find their card from the original job and copy those details.
if someone books 4 jobs and pays for them all with one card and one transaction i really have difficulties, i would have to send them 4 emails (with 4 job details respectively) and i would have to include all the payment details in each job to verify it has been paid.. this means i would have to enter their card details 4 times.. and even though each job might be £20 each.. i would have to write £80 in the total charged field because it is covering all the jobs..
anyways.. if you can spare me a thought i would be grateful.. thank you

I would like a textbox in my vendor form to display the number of times that the vender’s name appears in a jobs-completed table during a particular calendar year. I’m not sure where to start. I have tried building a query as follows:
SELECT Count(tblCompletedJobs.Job#) AS CountOfJobs
FROM tblCompletedJobs
HAVING (((tblCompletedJobs.DateOfEngagement)>=#1/1/2006#));
Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi there, I quickly made a database, and for some reason, can't get past this 'cancelled' error, to get it to occur, open the Companies form, click orders and then it pops up.
By deleting all of the data in my tables, I can get to a state where I can once again enter data, but after closing the orders subform and opening it again, once again I have the dreaded error.
If anyone has any ideas of why this may be happening, feel free to share them :P
Thanks alot,
James Prince
Edit,
Here's my table structure:
CompanyID PK Autonumber - Relationship
Name
Address1
Address2
Town
PostalalCode
TelephoneNumber
FaxNumber
OrderID PK Autonumber - Relationship
CompanyID - Relationship
WeekNumber
Price
PriceWithVAT
MPL Autonumber
OrderID - Relationship
PartNumber
Size
PriceEach
PricePer100
Quantity
Basically I used the forms wizard to create a linked sub form, and when moving to a new order thats when it errors I think.

What would be the best way to store data in a database that could change but without effecting previous linked records?
Let me try & explain a little better.
I have a table that lists materials with the cost price & sell price of each item
When I use that info to create a record I will only store the id no that the material is related to then link the cost fields to display the prices without storing the data again.
The problem I face is that in the future if any of the costs are changed in the main table then all linked records will also show the new amounts.
what's the best way around this?
Do I simply store the actual costs in the records when they are created allowing only the current costs to be used ?

I want the program to input an entry for every item with a value ranging from 1-300, according to sales data, according to the associated style.
I have to sort large amounts of Data and format them into a way I can deal with it.
I get two inventory lists twice a week from 16 stores.
I sort this data in two ways.
I do this by comparing an inventory list to a list of 300 of the best selling styles.
Currently, I input one list of inventory data in excel and then organize the items manually and respectively to sales data list in columns. Top 25 styles, 50, 100, 200, 300.
When I am finished, I have a certain amount of items in the top 25 styles, a certain amount in top 50, and so on. I color code the columns and write down the quantities and percentage of each category in the list..
if this is still confusing:
I have two tables.
one has the style numbers of which several items are in the category of a style number.
and one is the list I want to sort the previous list by. It has 300 styles that sold the best. they are rated from 1 to 300.
I want to organize all my items in each list by the 300 style list.
I have to do this twice a week, for 16 stores, for two separate reports.
ongoing basis.
is there a way of having the program do the numbers for me?
I am entering the data in excel physically . Is it possible to do this another way?
I am trying to sort the sales data sheet INTO the columns I have set up AND according to the styles that each piece of data has in common.

Hi everyone,
What is the best solution to deal with different currencies in an Access Application? After creating a table that includes currencies codes I want to use them in the form to present and calculate prices.
After choosing the currency from a combobox, the price field must be presented in numeric values with the chosen currency code.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

I have a database that has the basic tables of products, accounts and orders.
I need to figure out how to deal with returns.
Do I create a separate table and link that to the orders table for returns?
I haven't made such a large database file so I was curious if anyone had any information on how to lead me in the right direction. Or if there were any examples. (I've looked around but haven't completely figured out the best way to handle this.)
Thanks!

I'm not usre how to handle the error when cancelling a report. so when I hit a control to bring up a report and say I cancel it before I put in any parameters for example I get the dialog box " runtime error" "OpenReport action was cancelled" etc.
Could anyone help me on how to handle this with VBA so that it's at least a more user friendly dialog box?

I have a cancelled service that gives a -1 to an ISCANNED field for each EventDate after the date the services are cancelled. Now I am permitted to Delete all of the cancelled records except the Min() date that =-1.
I built a query to find the value for the First Event date that =-1. I then built a delete query to delete all records after the First Event date that =-1 but it had to Join the "Find the value of the First query" to get the table records to show the records that were going to be deleted.It cannot delete.
Is there a module or VB that can be used to make the delete query work without using the joined "Find the value of the First query"?Something that will say "delete all the records after the first cancelled record"

I have a database that keeps track of training hours for each employee. The Training Length is formated as Short Time. I just figured out that short time can only go up to 23:59:59. Some of my trainings will be over that. Does anyone know a way to get around other than splitting up my hours and Mins in the table?

I am using the following to extract date information from a text field as part of a query.
Narrr_Date:CDate(Left(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1), Instr(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1)," ")-1))
Due to users not putting the correct information in I will get the #Error in the results of the query.
I need to do a DateDiff on the results so I need to get rid of any values that come up with #Error.
Since I cannot ensure the date extracted by the query is correct, how do I deal with the error?

Hello all,
Ok, let's see if i can explain this so that anyone trying help can understand. I have a form that's unbound (Music) with a subform (Arist Info)that is bound. The subform also contains two other Subforms (bound). The subform (Artist Info) contains a few Macros set up to do
some general searches with some Option groups and also one cmb box with vb code that access wizard wrote up. They all work great, with no problems at all when I open up the subform all by itself. It's when Main form is open where i run into some glitches. In then option groups all tgl & radio buttons work with exception to the two named ALL. I get a ballon message stating There is no field named
'GenreGroup or AlphaGroup' in the current record. Genre and AlphaGroup are the names of the option groups. The cmb box dosen't even work at all. There ars some other problems also but i'll ask for help later if i can reslove this. LOL I've attached a bare bone sample db to look at. I thought I was doing great learning new things every day, till I ran into this one.
Thanks for your help

I have a database that was populated using many excel sheets and one of the fields [partDescription] uses the # character over and over to represent "lbs". I realize that this is a wild card for digits in VB. Is there a quick fix for finding and replacing this character?

Hello people of access world forums. I've decided to design a simple access db with 2003 version but with 2000 compatibility and everything appear to work ok.
After designing and testing the db, I have set the Jet user-level security options as described in some documentation and set the startup options too for a "clean type" start. Everything is ok: I have created the workgroup in a new .mdw file, joined the workgroup, set the users, set the groups, protect the forms I wanted to. If I try to open the db, it asks for user and password and the db works as espected about security.
But if I delete, move or change the .mdw filename, the db turns accesible without the implemented security. Only the startup option works but no user is prompted and the protected items turns unprotected.
I would like to know how can I associate the .mdw to the .mdb so I can't access the .mdb if the .mdw file is not present (i.e. copying the .mdb to another computer or something).
Thanks in advanced.

I have subform where access lists orderitems(the main form contains the order info). The subform uses a query to lookup items thats in the orderlist. Everything works fine execpt when I change something in a dropdowncombo list in the orderlist sheet(like in sample northwind db) the I get "You cancelled the previous operation". The post IS changed and everything seems to work nice but why do I get this error?
The combo uses "SELECT DISTINCT Items.IDItem, Items.Item FROM Items;" as rowsource and also "ListedItems.IDItem" as controlsource.

It works perfectly with the box appearing to choose the directory and file name, having done this it then outputs perfectly.
However if you choose cancel at the file and directory selector box it crashes:
Run-time error '2501':

Hello...
I created a button that opens a link to a URL and copies information from a record to the clipboard to paste on this webpage.
The users are not using it correctly (they need to close the page each time they need to do the next record).
what i want to do is to close ALL IExplore windows via access if there are any open then open the URL again. Sounds pointless but we have to close it because of security.
Thanks.
