I have a project that was given to me because I have previous experience with MS Office, but my level of Access experience is somewhat below par. Here is my problem: We are using one form (Enter Required Training) to create a row of data that goes to a report to let us know when employees need to be trained by.
This report is called 'Past Due - Required Trng'. When employees have completed a training course we go into a form called 'Enter Training Attendance' to update another report to show that they have completed training. However, once employees have completed a course, we have to manually go to the database where the required training courses are stored to manually delete them so that they do not show up on the report.
My boss would like me to find a way to automatically delete the required training information without having to manually delete them each time. Is it possible to have the 'Enter Training Attendance' form delete the record created by the 'Enter Required Training' form so that it does not show-up on the report once completed? I have been messing around with the datasheets, events and even formatting but I can't seem to get anything to work.
I have a main form with several linked by ID worksheet sub-forms. I would like to add a on-click function to delete the main form and all related record on each sub-form. I have tried several methods but nothing is working correctly. The cascading delete function is not available as part of the form relationships. How I can accomplish this?
I am coming back to an Access 2007 database that I put together some time ago. I need to simply delete a column and its associated heading in a report and I can't remember how to do it!!
I have attached a few screen shots.
001.jpg is of the actual report and 002.jpg is what the report looks like in Design view. If I try to use Layout view it displays the message "Layout View is Unavailable for this report".
I realize that some data entries are no longer needed. I want to delete them. However, I have this data within a relationship dependent upon autonumbers. For instance, table 1 is linked to table 2 is linked to table 3. As of now, only data in table 1 exists. In the future, corresponding data in 2 and 3 will need to be entered. How can I make sure that by deleting some entries within table 1, that i will not jeopardize the functioning of tables 2 and 3? What does one do in a situation like this?
Firstly I rather unsucessfly tried the search function,
I want to automatically delete any enteries older than 6 months, I do NOT want to archieve them, simply delete them. I only have three entries; Date Address Line 1 Post Code
I was unsure how i would go about this or even where to begin so some help would be much appreciated.
My Membership Database includes 3 fields in the main Table which I need to clear prior to the new subscription year, but on a selective basis.The fields are R/N for (Renewal or New), a subscription date and an amount field (Currency).
At the due date I need to clear all 3 fields except where N/R=N AND date >01/01/2014, when data in all 3 fields is to be retained.I have tried several SQL codings to achieve this but have been unsuccessful so far.
I've just joined a company based in Scotland, they are running a multiple user access 2000 database: backend and front-end. Recently they have had an issue where a user inserting a new row in a table, as they do, the record above drops off the table (disappears/unrecoverable). My first impression has been that this is a DB corruption issue and as such have ran compact/repair.We are running this database on network server:
-Backend resides in central location -Frontend - Each user has their own front-end, storded on their personal network drive.
Would I be right in saying that the best solution would be to convert to newer version of access ?
I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that has a combo box. The combo box lists all employee names and one has to be selected. I've been adding employees over time as new employees come. This DB is 3 years old so there are many employees showing in the combo box selection that are no longer here. I'd like to only have the current employees visible but I do not want to just delete them from the Table because then the historic data wouldn't be complete. How can I only show the current employees in the combo box and maintain the data in the table?
I have a time and billing database that contains a form where the user enters a beginning date and an end date and then must enter an invoice number. All this information will appear in the header of a report. The invoice number will always be different. How can I get the invoice number to print on the report? The beginning and ending date is working just fine, but I can't get the invoice number to print. I think I need to have whatever number is entered to be temporarily stored to a table, but I am not sure at all. I would appreciate any help given.
Hello, in my memership system everything uses forms for ease.
in the main view of the student record, you have the option to delete the member. how every some of the information is linked to another table, how would i go about deleting this information as well, when the button is pressed.
I Created a database that allows the user to create a jobsheet (Sign off Sheet) with inputting minimal information.I am having some problems accessing the data from my form to a report. I managed to get the full name of my AssignedTo and OpenedBy come up with this
But this is only bringing up the information in my tblContacts and not actually assigning itself to the jobsheet. I have tried to just put in the "assigned to" but then this comes up as the ID number rather then the full name. And I have also tried to do this via the join table tblJobSheetContact but this only brings up Mr.
I am trying to create a report or form (not sure which is most suitable) which when opened will show a summary of my data.
My data is essentially a table of timecards, with various linked tables which together enable time working on a lot of different projects to be recorded and reported on, and the value of the work can also be reported on.
In other words it's a bog standard time-recording system.
I can generate a number of reports, for example a report showing all projects with unbilled time and the value of that time.
What I want to do is produce a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report/page showing total time worked in the last 7 days, month, quarter, year and the annualised amount of the first three of those.
Also I want to show the value of each of those in billing terms, e.g. what was the time recorded in the last quarter worth, and if that continued all year what would be the annual value.
I have created summary (total) queries which return all of these numbers. Essentially each query has a number for the period and a number for the same figure annualised.
I am trying to get all of these figures onto one page.
If I create a report based on one of my queries (by opening the query and clicking Create/Report) Access generates a lovely report showing my two figures generated by that query.
My problem is that I cannot get all of the different figures based on the different queries onto one report (or form).
Access will only allow me to show the figures that come out of the data source for the report or form. I cannot find a way to have multiple data sources.
I have tried creating text boxes where the data source is a different query. I dial up the query and the value, but all I get in the box is "#Name?".
I guess people must make this kind of KPI report or form all of the time. I read about dashboards and the like and see pictures of nice-looking Access pages containing all sorts of summary data, but nowhere can I find any description as to how to create such a page.
I have a form with a search field for an unique field, that looks up records in the table that belong to that unique field. See Code:
Private Sub cboLastName1_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String
cboLastName1.SetFocus If cboLastName1.Value > 0 Then strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl24HRPolicies WHERE AutoNumber = " & cboLastName1.Value
Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL) If Not rs.BOF Then Me.ID = rs("AutoNumber") Me.Prefix = rs("PolicyNumber") Me.FirstName = rs("DateReceived") Me.MiddleName = rs("Comments") Me.LastName = rs("ClientsName") Me.Suffix = rs("ShopID") Me.NickName = rs("Nickname") Me.Title = rs("ActivePolicy") End If rs.Close Set rs = Nothing db.Close Set db = Nothing End If
The fields, that take content based on that search field, are unbound. I've added the delete button, but it's not working, because they are unbound. Is there no way to delete records with this form??
I have a purchase order form that has a subform embedded. After users have filled up the form, they click on a button that will open up a print preview of a report. The report shows the details of the form they entered. However, all the fields on the parent form that are filled up after filling up the subform are not displayed on the report.
The reason is most probably that they have not been saved yet. How can I solve this problem?
I have a continuous form that has 5 columns of data per line and it also has a 6th column that I can enter data into. What I want to be able to do is if I enter data into the 6th column it will copy that record except the 5th column to a report.
I have tried searching this forum and other but not quite sure of the terminology so not getting good results.
I have a form. On the form I have a button to run a report.The query associated with the report selects all records within a unit (field name (Unit) is used as the selection criteria).Rather than type in the unit name when the report is run, I want to select the unit that is currently shown on the form.
My company wants me to run a high level report which ask for three filters. However as its high level they want it should run with a click instead of choosing filters from three drop down ...
As this report comes out as a graph I can't use report wizard to run tabular report. Any smart way that they click a button and get filtered data in graph form.
I need to pull data from multiple tables in order to show a "financial summary"..Currently I have: Company; BalanceSheet; Debt; Liabilities; Income..All tables have a lot of information (which is why I built them in multiple tables).
I need to build a form where I can use a combo box to select a company from a list.Once selected - I need to the form to pull selected information from each of the above tables. (As well as perform some math functions).I've been struggling with the relationships (They don't seem to make a difference) and I believe I am above and beyond what the wizards will accomplish.
I have read thread after thread but cannot seem to find a specific answer on how to accomplish this.To make matters more complex - Once finished I want to be able to select multiple companies and create a report from the fields mentioned above (IE: pick company A, B, and C and have all of there "current Assets" add up on one report)
This task was originally achieved using an Excel spreadsheet but it has become to confusing for users and difficult to save information for future use.I believe all of my fields are constructed correctly. how to compile the data from multiple tables into one form/report.
How to generate either a form or report able to show me the history of data changes made by users in the fields of Access Objects. I'm more interested in Forms, since the users will use Forms to change data in the db.
Let me give an example:
My db has, for instance, a form named Frm1 and a form named Frm2. Both were built including several fields such as text boxes, combo boxes, etc.
So, if the user Paul first changes the field Color of the record Id 235 in the Frm1 from Green to Yellow, and then, down the road George changes the field Size of the record Id 14 in the Frm2 from Big to Small, I need to know what changes were made, by who, and when changes happened. Also, it is important to know if a record Id is added or excluded.
My final intent is to have a report/form that shows some sort of user activity log which I think could be like this:
I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
What code do I need to delete a record using a form and a combo box. I need to be able to link the selection in the combo box to a button that, when pressed, will delete the selected record.
Information:
Account Executive Combo Box - select an account executive based on a table (that contains only account executives and an autonumber)
Hi All. Is there a way show my own popup form instead of the standard "You are about to delete 1 record(s)" when deleting a record? I have taken a look round and couldn't see that this was posted already......but apologies if it has already.
Help needed! (Apologies if this is a stupid question !)
I'm making a database for my OCR A2 coursework.
I have a table set up for tenants, and have created a form through which the user can delete a record from that table.
I have a look up combo box, to select the record (tenant) for deletion, and a command button - using the wizard that came up I have selected "delete record" - but it doesnt work! It doesn't delete the record i have selected.
Why Is this not happening ? It also doesn't bring up a warning box saying "you are about to delete one record" or something similar?
I have a form containing a subform, as a datasheet. The form displays the full details of whichever record I select in the subform.
When I click on a button to delete a record that I've selected in the subform, it vanishes and the subform row that displayed it is cleared. I have a figure displaying the total count of rows in the subform (thanks to Ghudson for that one) and this also reflects the change. the form, however, still displays the details it previously did.
As the last line in the code behind the button I have:
[Forms]![form name].Requery
however, when the code runs and hits this line, it displays a message that says
'Runtime Error 3167: Record is deleted'
Without this line, the form doesn't refresh (obviously) and I get no error messages, but when I next select any row in the subform I get a message:
'Record is Deleted'
and all the fields in the form display 'Deleted#'. Selecting another row fixes the problem.
It seems pretty clear that I'm not refreshing the form correctly, but in spite of searching the forum and finding a fair few threads on this topic I can't work out the syntax I should be using.
Hopefully, someone more knowledgable tham me can point me in the right direction.
1. Persons (list of persons) 2. Job history (list of jobs)
each person have their own job history. all these jobs are stored in the job history table. when i delete a person i would like the job history for this person deleted as well. each job stored in the job table have a field with person name, so that it is linked to this person.
how can i do this? vba or simple properties options?
