Displaying Data From Two Databases That Have A Common Field
Mar 30, 2005
I'm a complete novice when it comes to dynamic data so forgive my ignorance.
My database contains details of projects in progress. A user can click a link in a list and
display a summary of that project (okay so far - I've done that bit) - in the database though there
are two tables the second one lists project events/comments (title, date, job number and description) - when something interesting
happens during a project we add to the 2nd database a summary of what happened (we made 2nd db because the list
of things happening could be one entry or 50 entries) - the tables are links by the job number.
On the web site I would like that when a user clicks the link to display the info about a project it all also pulls info from
the second db but for the project with the same number.
I've hard coded a similar thing before "select * from tblProducts where category like 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes'" but in
this case instead of hard typing 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes' I'd like it to automatically insert the job number of the project
being looked at from the first database.
I don't think I've explained this as well as I could've - but if anyone could help I will be really grateful.
I am trying to form a join between two separate databases. Database 1 has a column (Gene_Name2) that consists of common names of human genes. In this database there is only one name for each gene per field. The other Database 2 has a column (Gene_Name2) that has various names for the same gene in each field. Most genes have been given different names over time.
I want to join the databases into a separate query database so that all of the information in Database 1 is retained and only when the name in Database 1 matches one of the names in Database 2 does the row of information get tacked on to the query database. The problem is that in a normal query the text in both Gene_Name columns do not match and the query returns no matches. I have tried Instr and like criteria statements with no luck. The following is an example of what I have and what I need.
Database 1
Chrom Gene_Name1 Data Chr1 ATC XYZ Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ
Database 2
Gene_Name2 Data ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC ORF65;IDH2 IGH
Joined Query Chrom Gene_Name1 Data Gene_Name2 Data Chr1 ATC XYZ ATC;ORF34;NM_123 ABC Chr2 IDH2 ZYZ ORF65;IDH2 IGH

I am designing a database for my Bank. But I have a problem, please give solution If you can help me.
I have a Table name "BranchName",purpose for entering Branches of Bank. Fields are as below. SrNo. (Auto Number) BrName (Text) BrCode (Number) Region (Text)
Now I had made a Form "Branch". On this there is one Combo box in which all "BrName" are shown.I made that. Now I made another Text Field where I want to show the corresponding "Region" automatically appears for the selected "BrName" .
Now how I make this.Any Query or Code Builder Event ??????
I have only one bound text field in my report. By default, it shows the results (150 records ) vertically. I wish to show them horizontally, 5 in a row. How to do this.
Firstly I would like to state that i have very little knowledge of Access databases (my job is not computer related) but I am trying my best to get a few issues sorted... So here it goes: I have 2 tables, one large table with about 3-4000 rows(horizontal lines), and a smaller table with only about 1000 rows.
The rows in the big table contain Products (name, dates, adresses, phone numbers etc) and every product has a 'Codename' in a column-line (vertical) of the big table. (there are about 3000-4000 products) In the small table there exists a similar column-line (vertical) that contains 'Codenames' of the Products listed in the big table, but there are only ~ 1000 'Codenames' not the full 4000 ! The reason for this is that in the small table there exists another column-line(vertical) that for every code listed (in the small table) contains a certain specific "description".
My task is to get all the 1000 "descriptions" from the small table inserted into the Big table accordingly to their proper 'Codename'. This means createing a new column in the big table and: if the codename exists in small-table insert the description in the new column-cell, if the codename doesnt exist in small-table leave new-cell empty...
How do i do this ? :) Im guessing some coding is envolved.. and i have no clue whatsoever.... Thank you, George P.
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input. As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123. In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group 123 A 123 B 123 C
Input Table ID Description 123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description A Analog B Analog C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog ...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
I have a big Excel file with payroll information about employees. Per employee per date, there are a couple of rows with mostly identical data (such as the employee's home address) but 2 differences: one will have paycode A with amount B, another will have paycode C with amount D, etc. I want to simplify the file to have 1 row per employee per date: in the example given that row would have paycode A with amount B as well as paycode C with amount D, in 4 separate columns.
I think I can technically solve this by creating Excel files per pay code/amount, and then linking them together by person and date, 1 by 1, through Access. This is feasible because there aren't that many different pay codes. But still, I was wondering if there was anyway to solve my problem in Access itself.
I have a feedback database with 3 tables, one for complaints, compliments and other. They have the standard common fields such as name, address, date received, nature of enquiry, investigating officer etc etc.A person can have more than one record in the complaints table and that same person could also have 1 one more records in the compliments and others table. What I would like to do is to be able to display the data for that same person that appears in the complaints, compliments and others table in a report using a search facility by either name or address. This will therefore display the number of times that this person has made contact together with dates and the reasons.
I'm a beginner trying to build a simple database for work. I'm trying to track the performance of bonds from month to month, in this case January-April. Each bond has a serial number called Serial_ID, but we wanted to create a record for each month we own the bond, so we created a primary key combining Serial_ID and start date called Serial_Start_Date. So if we own one bond, its January record would have a primary key of "4553123A 2013-01-01" and February would be "4553123A 2013-02-01". I created a form that allows a user to select one individual month's bond and display that month's return. However, I'm struggling to find a way to create a form that allows me to just select the Serial_ID and display the four month's records. Right now there is only one table in the database.
My access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.
So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.
I have searched and not found exactly what I am looking for..so here is my question.
I have a large database that works fine, IF people would stop trying to play in it!! What I want to do is to restrict access to everyone except managers.
So, I copied the db for warehouse users to input their data (picker id, no. of minutes) that holds only one table and the form that opens automatically (they do not have access to anything but the form) for their input...Then, at the end of shift I want the managers to be able to click a button on Switchboard that copies all entries for day into the original db to run their reports. (These dbs are on a network)
So, how do I manage this? I want to use a macro and transfer database table, then run an append query to put the current records in original table...I can do that, but I dont know how to delete the records in users db. It needs to clear out all records in that db when it has been transferred... I want all control to be in managers hands. All the users can do is input their data.
i have 3 databases containing data in the same format.
basically i work in a school, and have a database for 3 different classes.
each database has a table containing the childrens details(table a), and a linked table (through primary key in table a) to targets and points scote for each week.
--table a-- child number name carer address etc
--table b-- index child number (linked)(displayed as childs name in table, but stored as a number) week starting target 1 target 2 target 3 points 1 points 2 points 3 etc
now this database has been working really well. but if ever a child has to be moved class then i need to be called to transfer the records manually (because nobody else can do it) and i have to get the records manually and copy and paste them between databases. This works fine and i've had no problems. And the auto number in table a is changed from the original. but this seems to automatically corrolate to table b when i paste that over. so everything is working fine. but.... first of all, it creates lots of work for me when kids move classes, and also if i'm not there nobody else can do it. so.... i've tried using an append query to transfer the data. I tried using 2 append queries (1 for each table). but.... it works fine for table a, but i'm having trouble with table b. the append query for table b pastes all the records into the equivalent table on the other database through searching all records related to childs name on table a, therefore retuning all records in table b for that child. the problem....... when this data is transfered it transfers table a data fine. but table b is fine except for the fact that it doesn't transfer the childs name data (number), which i can kinda understand, but from what i can understand, my queries are doing the same thing as if i was to cut and paste manually and it works fine when i do that.
ok so its all very confusing, and i hope ive explained adequetly. oh and btw, i can't put it all in 1 database, because each class may need to access the database at the same time.
I have two databases that are used by different teams. There is reluctance for both teams to use the same data base because they are used for different purposes etc.
However, there is quite a bit of information that crosses over. Basically, when an order is logged it goes to Database A (DBA) then they import the customer information such as name, address etc. Then the order is passed to team B who deal with the order, who use Database B (DBB). Currently Team B have to import all of this information again into DBB.
What I want to do is link the two databases so that once something has been added to DBA it becomes available from a drop down list on DBB and team B can then import all of the other necessary information they need.
What would be the best way of linking these up? i thought about trying to create a button in DBB so that when it is selected it asks for an order number which would then search DBA for that number and provide a new record in DBB with the first few fields already completed.
I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .

I have four forms named [Information Form], [Evidence Form], [Subject Form], and [Vehicle Form]. The Final Form is a Tabbed Form named [New Incident]. The tabbed form has four tabs, with each tab displaying one of the forms above. I also have a Print Command Button named [Print All] underneath the tabbed portion of the [New Incident] form.
Also, All of the four forms are set to data entry - yes, so that on open they will be clean and read for new record entry. I need the [Print All] button to do, just that, print everything that has or has not just been entered into the four forms, even if some are printed blank because they were not necessary for this particular report. One thin of note is that each form on the tab has a field for the "Incident Number" which will be the same for all four forms.
I want to be able to merge the two records together if the field chr matches between the two files plus if there is an overlap between the start number and end number from each file. For instance the first record from each file would match because the range from 1000 to 2000 of file 1 has numbers consisting of 500 numbers (1500-2000) that are also present and overlap in file 2 (1500-3000). I possibly cannot use < or > since the ranges from each file will vary to different degrees. Perhaps there is a between function that might work...
Can't figure this one out. I am trying to get my query to show me which company's have not sent a supplier any money during a certain period.
However if I have the following data
abc company 1/10/02 £5 1/12/02 £10
an i search for any company who has not sent any money between 2/10/2 and 1/11/02 abc company does not show up because there is no data between these dates. If I had a record 2/11/02 £0 it shows up. So what criteria or query can I use to show this up?
I recently added a couple cascading combo boxes to one of my forms and now the data from the underlying table that has already been entered does not show up unless I go in and reselect the options.
Not sure the title is the best way to describe my problem. lolWell i have only been working on Access for a few months. The database i am working on keeps track when employee have been trained in a certain SOP document. I have a table for employees names and info, a table for SOP names and info, and a look up table that includes both employee and SOP with the date that they have been trained. Is it possible to create a report that would display what they did not train yet? Forgive me if its a stupid question and any help would be great. Thanks for your time.Aloha
I have a table of customers' data and another with the ISO country codes. They are joined. The country codes appear in the customers' table. The main table looks like this:
http://lemmikki.uw.hu/countries.JPG
On the form I would like to display the country's name instead of the ISO code.
I have a form that displays a specific set of data depending what you select in a group of list boxes before. See image below:

You select a PIPELINE, a YEAR and then a HAZARD, and this brings up a series of risk assessments depending on what you've selected. The RISK ASSESSMENT is actually a subform thats been set up to look like a list box. (Side Note: The reason I have done this rather than just use a normal list box for the risk assessment is I wanted to have a combo box attached to each record in the list box. Access does not allow you to do that so I had to fudge it). The RISK ASSESSMENT subform is populated by a query. At the bottom of the form is a normal list box displaying the same information thats in the RISK ASSESSMENT - I have done this as a test to ensure that my fudged subform is doing it's job.
From the fist screen capture you can see that the combination of PIPELINE, YEAR and HAZARD produces 3 risk assessments - this is also confirmed in my test list box. Everything is ok so far.
The problem I have is that I can only get my subform to display the data when the PIPELINE selected in the first screen capture is selected. Any other pipeline selection does not display the data in RISK ASSESSMENT. However, I know the data is there as my test list box displays the data. See image below:
13517
Therefore, my question is, why would data be displayed in the subform for some selections but not others, even though the data is there?
I have a datasheet with some combo boxes that search for data under specific dates and times, at the moment when you select the date and time for the combo box, it will just go to the first record matching the criteria, however I would like it set up so that ONLY those results are displayed.
