I have a problem figuring out a solution for following problem.
I have a database of details and their properties.
All the details have been described in one table.
As there is a need to describe groups of details I have found myself in a hard situation that needs to be resolved.
The structure of described detail groups is as follows:
Product
Detail Group1
Detail groupx etc.
Detail4
Detail groupx etc.
Detail groupx etc.
Detail1
Detail2
Detail3
Detail Group2
Detailx
Detailx
Detail groupx etc.
Detail groupx etc.
Is there a way of decribing my products in access so that there are no limits of how many groups does a product have and how many levels of groups the product have.
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code: ABC Co. ZYX Co. 123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
I think I am missing sth here, after I set my new group then I create my new user, then what! How can I specify which user to login with? Will the user be promoted for a username and a password?
For a little light relief I thought I would delve into the joys of security groups and immersed in searches and reading material. From what I have learnt so far, yes FE / BE best approach and take time, as obviously easy to get wrong and difficult to undo.
Not looking for the answer, just a hint that I'm on the right track
The FE groups settings is where the bulk of the detailed work is required? The BE groups settings are to ensure the correct read / write access to the tables? I am thinking of making FE groups as BE users (smart or dumb) to simplify this end?
I'm working on an order management database for a small company and have an order details form which I hoped to list each product of the order. As each customer has a different price per product I have a combo (based on a query) to choose the product and display the unit price (working fine) - the quantity and product ID are also input on the form and stored in the order details table (un-tested). My problem is on the first line of the order you choose the product and it and relevant details are shown, however, on line two, three etc when you choose the product - the other lines change to this too. How do I fix this???
I have a dataset with an age field which just stored an age. I want to run a query which will calculate the frequency based on all age groups 20-30,30-40.
I have created a work order application, and the process is that it takes total number ordered of an item, divides it by a factor, and then prints x number of work orders, example qty ordered 300 = 5 work orders, 4@72 and 1@12, my question is, now I want to appended the work order number with a count number, example wo555-1, wo555-2 and so on, grouping on the work order number, so each work order start again at 1. I am stumped, can anyone help.
This is the tables in my database, it is a database of the upcoming Beijing Olympics. I am aiming to have a medal count for each country which is in the current database. As it has the capabilities to expand therefore I am trying to avoid the need to create a whole new query for each country I add, also it would be preferable to be able to have all of the countries on the same report, so that I can compare the totals. Is there some way I can count the total of each group of records (each country) for the field where 'MedalType' = "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze". Also the calculation needs to be done before the report so that I can order by the total. I am new to this so can answers be preferably in layman's terms.
I am almost finished this project. :p There are just a few things left that I would like to do and I need some help.
1. Add an email notification when data on the form has been edited 2. Filter the form for only OPEN orders, status not equal to 6 or 7 3. When an order is closed (status field) I would like to default the "Date Closed" to today, but allow the user to edit the date if need be. 4. Once the status is closed and the date closed is entered, ask the user if they would like to create a followup order.
I have most of #4 done. I added code on the After Update event on the Status field to set the Date Closed to today and then disable the control, then ask if they would like to create the followup order. The users would like to be able to modify the date closed if they don't happen to do the entry until the next day. I have tried adding my code to the After Update of the date (which is updated with a pop up calendar), but once I select the date from the calendar, the focus stays on the date and the user is not prompted to create the followup order.
There is a field in the query called "FinalisedDate" which is a date/time field. I want a button called Current that when pressed it shows all records where the FinalisedDate field is Null which is to be the default of when the form is open.. Another button called "Aged" is pressed it only shows records that have the FinalisedDate field has a value (i.e. not null). I want another button that shows All Records (i.e Current and Aged).
I hope anyone can help. I have searched the forums but did not find a similar problem that I can copy.
I have extensive experience of other SQL databases but, in Access I don't know how to access the SQLCODE (as it would be in other DBMSs) to see if my query worked and if it did then how many rows were updated.
This is a multi-faceted question may the answer to the first may help the second. I have two option groups each with two options in each. The first is called Frame 57 and has two options A ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and B (assigned a value of two). The second is called frame 58 and has two options C ( the wizard assigned a value of 1) and D (assigned a value of 2). I have set enable on Frame 58 to No.
My aim: If I choose A in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 (with both options) to become enabled. If I choose B in Frame 57 then I want Frame 58 to remain un-enabled.
When writing the code do I Put it in the Click event of the FRAME? and should i refer to the option groups by their name (ie: A or B) or by their assigned value (1 or 2).
This is what I have at the moment Private Sub Frame57_Click() If Frame.57 = 1 Then Frame58.Enabled = True Else Frame58.Enabled = False End If End Sub
This seems to work though when I return close and re-open the form Frame 58 (even if it was chosen and enabled) is now not enabled even though the option is Frame 57 is correct and visible.
I need to randomise participants in an Access 2000 db into four groups. Let's say these are 1, 2, 3 and 4. This in itself is not the problem. The problem is that I need to keep the numbers of participants in each group approximately equal, say to within a tolerance of 4.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I'm trying to create a form for entering data for new items for a warehouse inventory. So far, I've figured everything out, but now I'm stuck.
I want to create an option group for two separate snippets of information: Whether a product is damaged or not, and whether a product is in numerical order or not.
I have created two bound option groups with option buttons, one for "Damaged?" (Yes or no) and one for "Sequential?" (Yes or no).
When I open the form, however, only the "Damaged?" buttons work. I can click either one, and it changes from yes to no and vice versa. However, the "Sequential?" options do not work. It doesn't matter which option group I try to click first, I cannot select "Yes" or "No" under "Sequential.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
I have a database of customers for which I want to print address labels depending on what group I have entered them in. There are about 30 different groups that they could be a member of. I have entered them in to groups by using "yes/no" fields on the customer table to indicate who is a member of which set. My problem is that I know how to indentify which group is required using sql
eg select surname,address from table where GP
where GP is one of the possible groups. I cannot however see a way of selecting the group variable from a form and entering into a query, so that I can print the required label set.
Can anyone please advise me on this or point point me in the direction of an example. I tried using a combo box on form but could not get it to pass the parameter correctly. Many thanks in advance.
Been searching for an answer to this one but still cant quite get it.
I am using an option group to subtract and add percentages on an amount in a text box. This is the code i am using but there is something wrong. My syntax is out.
Hi All, I am rather new to this and I must admit I am getting everything completely wrapped around my head!
I am developing a database that stores technical support requests received and their solutions. I have three main tables :
Problem - stores all the details of the problems received
Client - stores the address details of the client which is then associated with the 'Problem' table
Company - stores the name of the company which is then associated with the 'Client' table. This is a separate table as different clients can work for the same company.
At present, I have a 'problem data entry' form in which I enter all the details of the problem. At the top there is a section where I can do a search for a particular client and company and the details appear in the respective text boxs on the 'problem data entry' form. If the client does not exist, I have a button that I use to open another form which allows the entry of the new client's details ('New Client'). The user can choose which company this client works for by using a combobox. If the company is not already in the database, I have another button for opening a 'New Company' form!
Its all a little convoluted and it does not work particularly well to be honest. When I add a new company, I need to move forward a record and then back in the 'New Company' form in order that the new company information is saved correctly.
The company selection combobox in the form 'New Client' is then updated with the new company name BUT I need to actually open the combobox and select the company name myself for it to work properly! Once again I also need to move forward one record and then back again in order to properly save all the information before I can close the form.
What would be nice is to do a search for the the company in the combobox on the 'New Client' form, if the company is not found, it automatically adds the company to the database whilst updating all the necessary links. Hence getting rid of the 'New Company' form. I would also like to get rid of the problem of having to move forwards a record and then back again.
Any ideas? I find my method to be rather poor, there must be a simpler way of doing this!
I have a field in a table which is a code. This code is used to allocate records to certain groups. I want to run a query which then returns the records, grouped by code and displayed in ORDER of the biggest group. So if there are 20 records with Code A and 15 with Code B and 67 with Code C the Code C records should come first, then B, then A.
I have not used access that much, but what I am looking to do is basically have 2 details sections within a report that will have different records in them.
I first used a subreport but that really did not work as intended. It left large gaps in between the records and just plain didnt work.
Here is a image of what I am trying to achieve: hxxp://img379.imageshack.us/img379/9471/accesshelpnx9.gif
As you can see theres two different sections. One is for regular campaigns and one is for extended campains. There is a field in the table that has the extended date. For the compaigns that field should be blank or null and for the extended campaigns it is not blank or null.
Is there anyway to achieve this in Access 2003, if so can you tell me or describe me the steps?
I've tried looking at the Northwind DB report for an example for printing out "Page of Page" by grouping but I just can't associate there code with my DB. In my report I have different "Equip" that gets calibrated throughout the month. I print a report out at the end of the month. Most of the equip reports are 1 page but some do turn into 2 or 3 pages. Could someone look at my DB and show me what to put in the code for the report header and footer to show Page of Page for each Equip in the report.
Basically, our goal is to create a database that contains the information of previous girl scout info, just in case they decide to return, and also to have drop-down boxes in the form so when you select a returning girl scout, their info is already in the system and all the fields will be automatically filled with the info. i have thge link to the database once again
