hi, i've been trying to find a solution to this problem but i can't seem to get my head around it. i have searched through the forums but found all the threads to be confusing although it probably is simple.
im a doing a project for a2 for a trailer tent company
got 2 tables where the problem lies in
order
stock
they only sell one trailer tent to a customer
when a trailer tent is sold, i want to update no in stock in stock table
i.e. trailer tent sold --> "no in stock"field for that particular trailer tent goes down by one. I would like the user to be able to change stock level any time as well so don't want it to be fully automated
sorry if i'm not making it clear, not really sure how to explain it
thanks for help, much appreciated
Hi I could do with some advice on how to start the following and if best to use both excel and access to achieve it.
I want to enter a range of data when I receive a bill such as date, supplier, bill amount, description, quoted price, customer job and retail price. Once I enter this I want to be able to do the following,
1.Pick a customer job and date range and get a report for all the details of bills received in relation to that customer in that time so that I can send the customer a list of items they bought in that time period and what each item cost.
2.I want to be able to compare cost prices from different suppliers and print a list of all items which shows who the preferred supplier is for each item based on the cheapest.
3.The quoted price from suppliers should automatically appear when the description and supplier has been entered.
4.There needs to be some sort of warning if the quoted price doesn’t match the bill price
5.I need to be able to get a report which gives the details for any bill which was entered that was not bought from the preferred supplier.
Some advice on pointing me in the right direction to get started is what I need and would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.
Haya all, I’m new to access and I’m trying to create a database for my boss, but am a bit stuck, it’s a Bundy clock system in access, I have the tables set up (I think), and what I’m stuck on is building a form where, when I put in the employs ID and press enter there name appears underneath, can anyone point me in the right direction of a tute that would show me how to do this?
Thanks so much
The way I have the table set up is 3 fields, staff ID, first name, last name. All within one table
I think I’m in over my head… but you have to learn somehow :confused:
Hello,
New to access :eek:
Trying to create a simple data entry form to get information and populate fields from another table. i.e. type in info in one field and the other fields are displayed in the form with information from another table.
Any help apprecated :)
I am very new to access and have a question which I think is very easy to answer. What I have is an access file with a listing of companies, their contacts and what services we provide for them. (each company/client/service is listed in a row with each new set of information on the row below it).
What I am looking to do it to create a data access page that anyone in our office can view. I want the access page to have a text box where they can type in the name of the company, then click a 'search' button. That will then display the results in a box below everything. The results would be the contact and the services (there are other columns in the datasource as well, but I didn't list them).
If anyone can shed some light onto my problem it would be most appreciated!
Thanks
I am trying to automate the function that imports Infopath (.xml) data into access tables. I can have a button run the MenuCommand, but then the users have to go through all of the prompts and I just don't trust them enough to do it properly.
All I want is the user to click a button, then it lets them browse for the desired file and then imports it.
I would like to create a report that would really impress my supervisors, i just started at the company. I'm trying to create a call action plan, so i'm recording clients information on one table, and meetings we have had with each respective client on another table. Some clients will have multiple meetings, some few, and some none. I have a relationship set between them from the client's id number on the client table to the ClientID on the meetings table. one to many.
When I go to create the report, only the clients with meetings show up on the report, I would like client info to always show up on the report and meeting info to only show up under each respective client when it exists. I have worked out how to shrink and hide any text box without any info on it. It just seems like the existence of a meeting dictates where the client will show up at all in the report.
How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

is there a big diffrence between vba an vb.
Would you be able to have the same databasing power in vb.
a company offered me a job but they would prefer if all my programs where in vb, but i have never even lokked into it. i know there are a few extra thing like menus and stuff like that.
Would i be able to say that since i know vba i would be a ok candited?
I have a query that creates 8 columns, exactly as I want. However, the information in the last 2 columns, Dbk and Com, I'm trying to get on the same row. Right now, when the query is run, the Dbk amount shows up on one row and the Com column is blank, then the next row shows the Com amount and the Dbk column is blank. Is there a way to get both values to show on the same row? Thanks.

Hello Gurus,
I need to perform a massive deletion within Access and I want to find out if there is a simple piece of SQL that can be written to complete this task.
Example:
I have a table called GAB - one of the columns is called email addresses
Currently all the email addresses look like this: m14.dpitts@****.com
I need them to look like this: dpitts@****.com, so all I need to do is remove the 'm14.'
Is there something within Access that will accomplish this?? Kinda like substr in Oracle?
Any help would be great!!! :)
I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this question has been asked before
I needed exact information about the way the 'like' operator works, so I pressed F1, typed 'like' in the "Answer Wizard" and was told to "rephrase my question". :eek:
The index was slightly more helpful as it obviously contains 2 topics with 'like_operator', but choosing them does not reveal anything. :confused:
Where can I find info about such things?
I also need to use an operator called 'contains' which I have used when working with SAS, but appearently it does not exist in Acccess or it has another name. Has anybody heard about it?
I have 3 tables: tbl_1, tbl_2, tbl_3
All 3 have the same 3 columns: name, email, code
Can I write some queries or a code or something that can create one "tbl_MASTER" with the same 3 columns?
Ex:
tbl_1 - 3 records
tbl_2 - 7 records
tbl_3 - 21 records
tbl_MASTER - 31 records. Now the information in the other 3 tables changes everyday so I want it to all be automatic, I dont want to execute 3 different queries or anything like that. Is this doable. Thanks.

Hi All,
Can someone point me in a direction to get some good information on how and when to use recordsets? Ive gotten by without having to use them for the most part up until now.. but the inevitable has happened and i figure i might as well learn to use them
for the most part i know When to use them, but its getting into the how and where to use it for the most part.
simple examples or even perhaps a tutorial would be great! thanks guys
Guys i have tried to seach the Forum but can't find a solution to my need.
I would like to get a collection of table names from another DB, what i am trying to do is populate a table with a list of table names that the front end links to and their paths once a user has selected the data file location.
Instead of me having to force a user to place the DB files in a location of my choice when the database first loads it will prompt the user to select the location of the data file then (this is why i need the above) populate a table with a list of table names and their source, then establish a link to them for the front end to work.
Also if i ever send amended DB files or they move the location of the data files they can automatically re-establish the linked tables.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers guys.
Hi,
I have been struggling with a project and cannot seem to get a solution. The following is a bit drawn out so I apologies, but if anyone can help - (or tell me if it is not possible) I would be grateful.
I have a club DB with 42 members, and have a table with members details etc.
They meet 12 times a year and I have a table with details of the meetings (each meeting is a separate record with date, venue etc)
I use forms to view the records.
What I would like to do is be able run a query/report to see who attended each meeting/or how many meetings an individual attended over the year. (I have not got to the query/report stage yet, as I cannot figure out how to set up the information).
(I need to know each year how many meetings an individual attends)
I thought of putting a list of the members and a tick box next to their name on each of the 12 meeting records, (which will update when members join/leave) then be able to run a query with the name of the member, and the dates (or number) of the meetings attended, but don'y know how.
At the moment all I can think of is a memo field, and just type in their names on a specific meeting record.
Any help would be gratefully received
Regards

Hi!
Say I have a table/qry:
ID | VARIETY | PRODUCT
1 | Fresh White | Garlic
2 | Fres Valencianita | Onion
Is therey a way to merge variety and product? Cause I want to make an invoice description with a text that can be made out merging fields of a same table/qry.
Sth like the following:
"[QUANTITY] of [VARIETY] [PRODUCT] from [COUNTRY], size: [SIZE]...."
I saw a topic about listing items horizontally but I think it was kinda different from what I wanted, specially cause involved more than one table.
I have a form with some controls, and for some of the controls, I would like to provide some info, when a user key presses a particular key. I would like that when this assigned key is pressed a small box will pop up providing the relevant information. However, for this feature i do not wish to use the msgbox, to provide the information in, but i would like to use something as those "white boxes" which are normally used in help files (the ones that normally describes a definition of a particular term).
Can this be done in access, and if you kindly could you point me in the right direction.
Thank You for any feedback.
Hi,
Suppose I have sharing drive, let's say "\server1sharefolderDatabasesdb1.mdb"
if I run this CurrentProject.Path inside the database file, it will retreive the current path with drive letter, but how can I retreive the server, and sharefolder information?
Please note that I am self taught (90% of what I have learnt has been off these boards!). I did make this form with info I found on this forum.
I am having problems with a log in box for a database, the line of code is -
If Me.txtpassword.Value = DLookup("password", "customers", "[customerID] =" & Me.EbayName.Value) Then
This code is in a Form; "password" is the value in the table of "customers"; [customerID] is the primary key value I wish to remember; Me.EbayName.Value I assume is the value in the table that access is looking for.
Questions -
A) It is not looking up the value for [customerID] - what have I done wrong?
B) In the line of Me.EbayName.Value what does the 'Me.' part tell Access to do? I assume it's a pointer to it's own form? What part of the line do I need to change to make it point to another form (or table)?
C) When this is finished how do I get the program to remember the 'customerID' while the customer is fillling out other forms?

It seems that there are a few different ways to get info from the tables when developing an applications that i know of:
1)queries
2)dao
3)ado
4)selects without any of the above
I lean towards the last 2 but I need to know this: is there any advantages in using ado as opposed just sql?
For instance i ran this sql:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim SQL As String
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = Forms![form2]![Text1]
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE (((Table1.clinic)='" & strCriteria & "'))"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmClinic"
Forms![frmClinic].RecordSource = SQL
End Sub
it worked fine. I could see how a beginner would prefer to use queries over sql but I would prefer to use sql in vba. I've read that dao is older and I should use ado instead. So that leaves ado vs. the way I displayed it in the above code. So which way should I go? If I'm over looking queries or dao in favour of ado/sql, just point out their advantages if you don't mind.
Thanks,

I have an inventory table and a repair table for computer equipment. The inventory table is already set and working with all the data I need.
In the repair table, I would like to just enter the ID number and have some of the information already stored in the inventory table automatically entered into the repair table as needed.
For example, computer 138 has repairs done to it. I would like to then go into the repair table to add a new entry, type in 138 and have the some of the data from inventory table (model, serial number, etc) transfer into the repair table.
Is this possible with Access?
I have only been able to do something with the lookup wizard, but that doesnt seem to work well.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Can anyone tell me a sample code on how to write/develope the Advance file properties like....
File version
Description
Internal Name
Product name
I have seen different types of files properties some has additional features while some has none - its just click once on any file and then click the right hand side mouse button and select the properties that will display all the information about the files click on second tab version (if there) will tell you the additional info about the file.
