Sum Thread
Mar 9, 2006I have database where users can produce a quote. Each new quote gets a quote number,
when users add a item to the quote, they also add a DHR (daily hire rate)
The table records the item and adds the quote and the DHR.
I want to run a query so it shows the quote number and adds all the DHR's for that quote.
Can this be done in a query as an expression.
Deleting A Thread
Mar 14, 2008An individual posted a new thread today (3/14/08) (believe it was in the General Section) asking for a help with a UDF that wouldn't process. He received one response, then I came in with another response which I later edited to include more info. Saved it, checked back to ensure it was what I wanted -- it was.
Closed the browser, shut down the computer. When I later reopened this site, the thread was missing entirely. Did a search on my recent posts -- it's not there.
I'm baffled -- how does a thing like that work?

Yet Another Insert Image Thread
Mar 10, 2005Hello,
Although, I have seen many threads in regards to displaying images in forms, I have not been able to find exactly what I'm looking for.
The solution I am looking for is to give the user the ability to browse for an image, select it and insert it into the form. From reading these forums and playing around with Access, one thign I am sure about is that I want to link the image (I couldn't believe how bloated access gets when embedding an image).
I thought of a great solution for linking images, but I have no idea how to achieve this. (This solution, in my opinion would be great not just for images, but for all kind of objects).
Since I am linking the image, I would like to be able to store the image in a "private database" folder, that way the image will not be tempered with. It is my understanding that if I wanted to do that, I would have to first place the images in that folder and then actualy insert them into the form. This seems kind of pointless to me, since it will create extra work for the user.
So basically what I would like to do in pseudo code is:
On Click, browse for image
on image select, save image to \database image folder
link image to \data image folder
display image in form
I think this would work really well for all kinds of document management (not just images) allowing the users to attach pdfs/images/documents to records with out worrying where they are stored, and knowing they will not be tempered with (I'm planning to place the folder somewhere on the server)]
Any ways, any help woudl be greatly appreciated, and if I do manage to come up with a solution on my own, I will be sure to post it here.
My Last Thread Today, I Promise!--go To Record By Id
Jun 10, 2005hello once again,
i'm using this code to go to a certain record in a table:
Dim strRecord As String
strRecord = Me.List26.Value
DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, "Stopwatch", acGoTo, strRecord
the problem with this code is that it goes to the record number, not the id.... how can I tell it to go to the record it (primary key) instead of the absolute position number of that record?
Another "what Kind Of Query Is This" Thread
Oct 22, 2007I have a Customer table in an Accounts Receivable late-payments database that has very basic fields:
CustomerNumber, Name, BillToAddress1, BillToAddress2, City, State, Zip, Phone
As we get changes from new invoicing activity, I need the table to update the contact info. So, we get a spreadsheet each day with new invoicing activity, some of which will already have customers in our database. I need to capture any new addresses or other contact information to update my current records. We append the new info to the Invoices table, then need to grab the new addresses and update the Customer table.
I don't know why I don't know how to do this, as it seems so simple. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't Know Where To Post This
Jul 8, 2006I am developing an Access (2000) database to provide reporting data gathered from SAP and make it easily accessable for 12 analysts. The data set is HUGE, 5 months nearly a gig and will need at least 2 years worth, so I don't see any option other than using SQL as a back end. I have experiance using SQL server as the back end but have never had to develop my own server.
I do not have access to an existing server but do have permission to purchase SQL software, this is where I need the help. If anyone has suggestions, advice, links or other information I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks in advance for your help.
“where I added information”
A lot of you have been reading this but no help.:eek: Did I use a poor title? I have used SQL as a back end but really need to know how to produce one out of thin air.
I ordered SQL 2005 off my company's IT store but when reading further it needs a special operating system, I think. Is this true? What do I need to have in order to provide a very large data set to a bunch of barely computer literate analysts?
These people are excited when they realize that vlookup can do more than one thing!! The concept of a union query would blow them away. I am frustrated with the competency of my co-workers but need to give them something that is idiot proof without letting them know that this is the object.
Currently they are having an SAP download sent to a specified share drive and running an Excel “macro”, moves a couple of columns an such, that puts it into a format that is semi-usable. This is totally inefficient for their needs but they don’t know it as yet.
What I am asking is how to take a fairly robust pc and make it a SQL server that will service a dozen or so people. What kind of operating system is needed and what sort of admin rights will be necessary to allow access to the desktop so they can get their data?
The IT help desk is very scary, not really understanding the requests presented. I haven’t been with the company very long but what I have garnered disturbs me I don’t believe the IT people have a clue.
I’ve been an Access developer for about 4 years now and know this is not an insurmountable obstacle. I am confident that SQL is the solution but haven’t ever had to create it from scratch before. Please, links or other suggestions are MOST appreciated.
Dunno Where To Post This....
Sep 4, 2007Preface: I don't know where to post this since I'm using a VBA executed SQL command or if this is a table issue.
I'm trying to import a .csv file into a "master" table of several .csv files. I've figured out how to link them and import them even though they have different field names, but the problem I'm running into is with serial numbers.
Some serial numbers are entirely numbers, while others are alphanumeric. When the field is set to numbers all of the parts (a different field) show up, but not all of the serial numbers are imported. When the field is set to text some of the parts are dropped, along with their associated serial numbers and then some of the serial numbers show up as scientific notation.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Follow-Up To Previous Post...
Nov 15, 2004Greetings,
I am just posting a follow-up on my previous post on designing functional forms. Telling by the lack of replies, my original question may have been long winded and tedious. Let me try to narrow my question and make it more concise.
In two tables connected by a one-one field name ProfileID, how can I set a new field in the second table (call it StepNo or procedureNo) so that it increments step numbers for each unique ProfileID record? Thus for each new Profile record created in the first table, a new form will allow the entry of X numbers of steps into the second table and automatically link the two records?
I hope that clarifies my problem. Thanks in advance.
Post Code Validation
Apr 7, 2006I have searched the forum for posts on the subject of UK postal code validation and found the reg expression that seems to be recommended for this.
I tried the expression but it will not accept this postal code? TS183AM
Like "(?:(?:A[BL]|B[ABDHLNRST]?|" & "C[ABFHMORTVW]|D[ADEGHLNTY]|E[CHNX]?|F[KY]|G[LUY]?|" & "H[ADGPRSUX]|I[GMPV]|JE|K[ATWY]|L[ADELNSU]?|M[EKL]?|" & "N[EGNPRW]?|O[LX]|P[AEHLOR]|R[GHM]|S[AEGKLMNOPRSTWY]?|" & "T[ADFNQRSW]|UB|W[ACDFNRSV]?|YO|ZE)" & "d(?:d|[A-Z])? d[A-Z]{2})"
First Number In A Post Code
May 23, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to isolate the first letter / letters of UK post codes.
Typically they are of the format ..
WS9 0JL
The obvious choice is left,2 but of course it's never that simple
some post codes are B1 7FH so left 2 gives me B1 but I need just the B
I can use Left 2 and the look at the second character to see if it is = "1" or "2" etc. but this seems a bit crude.
Is there a way I can find the position of the first number in a string (using the Instr function maybe)
That way i could Isolate the letter/s
Thanks

Post Code Validation
Mar 20, 2006hello all
this thing is really bugging me im trying to come up with a post code validation and i have tried dozens, which should have worked really, but just havent so wondering if you guys knew any
examples of postcodes would be
BN3 8JH
BN41 8JH
the first and second characters have to be a letters
the 3rd has to be a number
the 4th is sometimes a letter (not always present)
then theres a space
then there has to be a number
letter
letter
any suggestive codes would be great, as none of mine have worked its in access
thanks
Query Help-1st Time Post
Jun 5, 2007hi this is my first post. This is probably so basic you will think i am stupid but your help would be appritiated.
I have a very simple database which displays the questions stored in a table in a form . The recipent answers the questions generaly yes or No. On answering yes or no i wish to attach values (hidden) to thier answers and then based on the answers produce a simple set of bar charts. I have tried but do not know how to assign the values to the questions . i would then like to produce 5 bar charts 1 for each of the catogories and one as a total (as an overall and also in sub groups of which there are 4 each of which has a field with a specific prefix either b,c,r,s dependant on the type of question. )
hope someone can help
