I want to write a query that would delete records from 3 linked tables
Customer has Orders that have Items
The Order table holds the date of the orders. I want to delete all customers that have not placed in order since a user entered date.
Not got off the ground on this one. Any help appreciated.

I have a database where I have 3 tables. first is client data, second orders data and third the products data.
What I would like, is to have a button on my form that after selecting from a combobox a product, it wil enter it in the tabel orders in the next available free record (row). I created a button and the combobox in the client form. The Products table has also the price per unit in it. It should take the whole row of data and put it in the Orders table.
Is there a way to do this? I guess it needs to be done with vba, but not sure.
Hi, I wonder if any one could help me with what I think is a simple query.
I would just like to show all the orders thats have been made within the last 7 days.
So far I can retrieve all the orders made today, by using 'Date()' as my criteria, but cant figure out what criteria to use for the last 7 days. It would also be good, if i could figure out how to retrive all orders made within the last month, and as well select all orders made between two specific dates.

I want to create a simple query from a list of orders dating back over 12 months.
The fields I have is Ord_Date, Qty
I need to show the orders by month for the last 12 months.
The problem I am getting is that the orders for the month of April (as we are in April now) contain orders from 1st - 22nd April 2013 and orders from 23rd - 30th April 2012, therefore confusing the figures.
I would just like orders grouped by month with a total qty dating back 12 months, but without any old orders for the current month.
I have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?
I have two simple tables. I want to delete the records from Table1 that are on Table2. I've created a select query that gives me what I want but when I change to a delete query, I get this message: "Unable to delete from specified tables"
I think my problem has something to do with security but I can't figure out what to change.
I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.
I am new to access and have a form set for processing orders. How do I process multiple orders i.e a customer orders an onion and a pepper. Currently I have to create 2 orders and would like 1 order with 2 items. I am sure this is very simple. Hope someone can help
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know this is probably very simple but I do not know how to do it.
I have:
Table 1 - customers
Table 2 - Orders
At the moment, when a customer orders 2 items, I have to create 2 seperate order numbers.
I would like to have both items under one order number. Can anyone help with an easy solution.
Thank you
I have asked this before but could not work out the answer i got(sorry). I need things in very simple terms. I hope someone can assist me.
I have customer table and an order table. Customer table obviously holds all customer info. my problem is orders.
I would like a table/form that allows me to input muliple orders. i.e:
Customer: Smith
Item: Apple
qty: 2
Item: Pear
qty: 1
Item: Orange
qty: 3
I would like all items under 1 order. Currently I have to process them all individually. Can someone help please
Thank you
It seems I continue to run into this problem.
A company sells products in packages.
Example: Let’s say you build PCs
All of your PCs are sold as a complete product with 10 or so components
Your choices are to reenter every item each time you make a new quote, or automate the process.
This is the current method
Step1:
Create multiple tables identical with the orders detail table, and create all of the records needed to satisfy the order packages. Each table is one order package.
Step 2:
Create an order as you normally would.
Step 3:
Change the linking number in the package table (to the appropriate order number)
Step 4:
Paste the contents if the table into the Order Detail Table.
This works well but is labor intensive, and is not error proof.
So finely the question. Is there a way to automate this process with the selection being made form either a drop down list or a query .
My gut tells me it a macro thing but I don’t use macros for much and my VBA skills are limited to adapting code that I pick up here and there.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe
I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
All I am trying to do is insert to have a form with a "Delete Record" button on it. The problem is I don't want anyone to be able to delete a record, I would like someone to have to insert a password to confirm the delete.
View 13 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm sort of new to Access, but over the past few months I've been able to develop an inventory database for my work which turned out quite nicely and does everything I need it to, except for one thing.
I want to also create invoices for my customers, and after looking at examples I understand that most people link the "order" with the invoice, so that there is one invoice per order. However, I need the ability to combine many orders into one invoice. That's where I'm stuck.
I don't know how to arrange my relationships and forms so that I can "pick" the orders I want on my invoice, and not at the time of the Order, but at some point after. Basically my orders will be established, but their allocation to invoices won't, until I come along and put them into their rightful bill.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm pretty stumped.
Thanks a lot for your help.
i've now converted a large database to run with sql as well as linked jet tables. The main issue was checking every recordset to ensure it opened properly. I also found that sql returns a few different errors code from Jet, that needed trapping differently = all OK.
Now, in some cases I had opened the backend Jet table directly in order to use seek on a particular index, so this needed changing, as this is not available with SQL
I may well be wrong but i couldn't see an easy way of traversing a recordset table in SQL/ODBC according to a particular segmented key
Instead I was able to modify my process to extract the data I wanted with a query, and I then used a recordset on the query, which is fine.
HOWEVER, to emulate the index I was using, the query is sorted on about 6 or 7 different segments, the first of which is CustomerCode. Now when I opened the query to view it, I changed the sort order by clicking on a date column (as it happens) to sort it. When I then closed and reopened the query it still opened sorted on the date column, which is not right, as the customners are now all out of sequence. When the whole dataset was re-extracted it did return to the original and correct order
THEREFORE Is there a way of forcing a query to reset itself to its original ordering sequence. I think it is not likely that any user would ever open a query directly anyway, but it would be nice to ensure the query is always processed in the intended order. Perhaps it isn't a problem at all - maybe when a query recordset is opened in code, the sort order is reset anyway, but I would appreciate some views on this.
Thanks in anticipation
I am creating a database for a company that sells a product with a variety of options.
They have all their previous orders in a works spreadsheet file. Each customer has their own file with every order for the past 15 years. There are probably about 1.5 million records.
The company wants all those 1.5 million records accessible in their access database.
I've brought in about 20 records for the history and they can run a query to see a customer's past orders by their account number.
My question: Should I put all the history into one gigantic table or would it be best to try and create separate tables for the history? (Maybe history by state.)
The history table then will take the new orders each year and add to that table.
(Eventually, once the database gets done I'm thinking we'll have to step up to SQL but not sure.)
Thanks for any advice.

Hello.
How can I preserve the user-defined sort order in a column in a table?
Every time I exit the table, and go back, my items have been alphabetically sorted. This results in my Combo Box displaying the list in alphabetical order, rather than my custom order.
Thanks ahead.
I’m trying to make a simple program form y Company as enclosed. But since I am new about Access I don’t know how I can solve my problems certainly so, I need your help about.
We are getting orders from the customers and we are buying from domestic market. I want to make easier to send purchasing orders to my suppliers. Normally, as you can see from the enclosed file sales person enter the order to the system (Orders TARIK KARABAY form). We want to use these data while preparing purchasing orders but we are buying some of the goods completely manufactured by our suppliers. We mean we buy the item and sell directly to the customer. This step is easy. At the same time we are buying parts from suppliers and assemble in our warehouse. I mean we produce them. This is the problem I have. One of the goods we buy is HTS3; we buy directly as HTS3 from the supplier or we buy HT3 from one supplier and R3 from another one and KD3 from a third one and we assemble HT3, R3 and KD3 in warehouse and we obtain HTS3.
While buying as HTS3 it is easy as the only thing is to add Supplier name to the system. But while it would be produced in house, the system has to prepare purchasing form for HT3, R3 and KD3.
Purchasing department will see the Order Form, they would prepare the purchasing easily without writing again.
I don’t know what kind of tables and forms I have to open to solve this problem.
I have a database of submitted orders that were temporarily held by our Order Management group for any one or more than one reason categories. There are 20 possible errors that could cause this temporary hold to occur. Once the error(s) is/are fixed, usually by getting missing information, then the order is released to the fulfillment group.
The basic information needed is the average duration between the Hold Date and the Release Date for a particular reason. So, in the table, the fields of concern are:
HoldDate
ReleaseDate
Reason1
Reason2
Reason3
etc. The Reason fields are Yes/No.
I want to be able to get a report that shows the average duration for each reason, but all in the same report. I can get it for a single reason, but without writing 20 separate queries or putting 20 formulas in my report, I can't seem to get what I need.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi I am looking for a formula for my query which filters out only the orders raised in the current week.(5day week Monday to Friday) I did not want to enter dates manualy.
Can this be done ?
Can anyone help me with this.
Tks
hi
is there away to filter rows when certain values in three different tables are the same. e.g. it is a stock control db - so when goods orded = goods in = goods taken - can this then be filtered automatically to hide rows and avoids congestion on the user interface (form)?
thanks

Hey,
I have an orders form, which makes the orders, but I would also like to be able to search back through old orders to append them in the same form.
Currently I have frmOrders, which has a combo for the customersID (which then adds their details to fields). In this form I also have frmOrderDetails as a subform, which is used to input the products.
Basically I would like to add a combo box which displays the order no. and the customer who's order it is. By clicking it all the order details will appear in the form. I've tried the way I thought, which does bring these details up in the combo box but it doesn't change the rest of the form when I click it!
Is this possible, and what's the best way? Thanks.
Hello All,
I am new to this forum :) and learning Access :confused: .
The Database
Tables:
Employees
Products
ExpectedQuantity
PartQTY
Parts
Most of the products are similar so they have the same parts for the majority. However they do not all have the same parts. So I created a parts table that contains all the parts needed for any product. Now each Product also can contain multiples of one part (such as wheels) where I would want to list the Product and the parts list and quantity needed of those individual parts for that product. Hence the PartQTY table.
Now what I want to be able to do, is go into a form where each record is one of the products. A subform (datasheet view) for that product that shows all the parts and the quantity of each part that make up the product. Such as 4
wheels, 5 screws, etc for Product A.
I would like there to be an ExpectedQauntity field in the main form which once you found the product you can enter in the number of that product expected. Then this Qauntity would be multiplied by the qauntity of each part required (in the datasheet subform a column with =[expectedQTY]*[PartQTY]) and list next to each part the number needed to order. So if for product A the expected quantity is 50 I would have to order 200 wheels and 250 screws for that product.
A report would Sum each part qauntity after the expectedqauntity has been entered for each product. So I could print a report that tells me how many of each part we need to order based on the expected qauntity of all the products.
I think I am complicating things and would like a fresh mind to assist me in which direction to go.
Thank You,
Adam
How to input new orders for old projects:
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.
How do I make this work?
Any help is greatfully recieved.
Thx.
Kev.
Hi,
I have a table that is like the following: I have customer IDs and Order Numbers. Most customers have only one order number. However, there are a few customer IDs that have multiple order numbers. How would I select only those records for customers who have multiple order numbers?(I want to have all the fields available, i.e. customer address, name of the order, etc, not just the customer ID) What is the SQl for this? Thanks for your time.
So my current employer has tasked me with creating a new database that we can use to process all of our orders.
Simple things first:
- Database is for processing turkey orders, two types of turkeys can be purchased. Each type must have it's own unique numbering system.
- One table with all the customer Information (Name, address, telephone etc etc)
- One table for "Type 1 Turkeys"
- One table for "Type 2 Turkeys"
- Relationship from "Customers" to "Type" 1 using "Customer ID" as unique identifier.
We need a single form that can be used to see all of the customer information, as well as create an order for either/both type(s) of turkey. My problem is this; I can create a relationship between "customers" and "type 1" and have a form showing all of the customer information and a table allowing for the creation of "type 1" orders, but cannot find a way to have a second table allowing for the creation of "type 2" orders. If I create a second relationship between Customers and Type 2 I am forced to choose which I want to be displayed.
A screen shot of the current database. The current relationships just allow for a drop down selection under each orders table for selecting products:
