I have been struggling with this problem for a while and I'm so deep into it I can't look at it clearly anymore. I hope someone can give me some advice.
I'm trying to set up an orders database, but instead of one "product" I have a service with many specifications. One service part can have many kinds of inspections, which in turn have many inspection criteria.
That part seems okay to me, I guess. There's a one to many relationship between services and inspections, and a one to many between inspections and criteria. The problem is displaying that in a form in a way that's not confusing to the users - I can't put all that info in one line, and I can't put subforms in continuous forms, the best I can come up with is to have separate subforms that display the inspection types when the part number is selected and the inspection criteria when the types are selected. The users I tested it on are totally confused about it. What's the best way to go about displaying it?
Maybe that's just as confusing. A fresh perspective would help.
This forum has been such a wonderful resource to me and I've learned a lot. I feel kind of embarrassed posting because I know my questions are access-ignorant, but I'm really having trouble figuring this one out on my own. Thanks for any ideas.
This is probably simple but it's something I haven't had to do before.
I have a main table. I have a filter query based on this table. I have a report, based on the query, which displays the total number of records in the query. In the same report, I would like to display this total as a number (already done, obviously) and also as a percentage of the total number of records in the main table.
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?
After a very very very long time i've manged to crack my first QBF! When I click the command button to run the macro and display the results, the results are coming up in a table format.
Is there any way to have the results of the QBF displayed on the same form?
For example, if I have a table that contains my different products and their categories - in this example 50 different types of "toy trucks", 75 "toy cars" and 100 "toy trains" - and I then perform a QBF on the criteria of product type, in this example "toy cars" - I would want the first "toy car" record to show on the form in their relevant fields, and be able to scroll through 74 records before coming to an end.
This way I could easily place all my products in one table, then select which products I'd like to view in the form and scroll through them.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I haven't been able to find anything online.
Hi, sorry if this has been covered before, I am a new guy around here.
I have two tables in a select query, both with a code field and a monetary value field. The codes are linked. This query is to show the variances in the values of each table as they are meant to have identical codes and values. However, each table has a small handful of codes that are not in the other, but all the query outputs is the variances for codes that are in "both" tables. I realise you can do one way relationships so that you can display all from one table and only those matching from another. However I need the query to show "all" the codes from both tables, and the value difference.
Any advice on going about this? Would be much appreciated! Thanks. :)
My query tallys the no of reject by plant and displays in a report, and this works great, but now it's a new year, only 3 plants have rejects (which is really a good thing), I need a 0 to display for the other 2 plants but don't know if this can be done, any ideas?
Plant (5 possible) group by; Expression: Counts # of Rejects by DateReceived 1/1/08 to 12/31/08
I have 500 Records in my Software Table, and I would like to display only those records that match my criteria that I place in my text box on my form called Software Name. So Once I have entered the software type in my text box, then I would like to display those records at the bottom of the screen as the selected records.... Any ideas??My table is called, Software, which contains Software Type, Software Name, Serial Id, Comments, Inventory Number, Version , Key and Company... I have a text box that is called txtSoftware, Which searches the databse and display the information in a list box called, lstResult, I would like to however, have the option, display in the list box but also display those records on the bottom of my form as it will look like in design view of my table. I have no idea how to ever start the idea ....
First of all thanks to everyone who has answered my questions already, although I'm still having problems (more with my understanding and lack of Knowledge)
I'm creating a DB and I'm stuck, I'm trying to create a form that has three fields mailbox, applications & Drives. Each of these three fields need to be populated with many items. For example the mailbox field may have 5 different mailboxes required to be populated in this field.
What I want to happen is for the user to double click on the text box, then a new form containing a multi-select list box appears that you can select the items you need which in turn updates the role profile form. This is how I want it to work but if you have a better idea I'm all ears.
All I want is for someone to be able to view the role profile form and to be able to see what applications, drives and mailboxes are required for that role.
Basically I have no idea how you can get someone to choose several items and have that reflected and recorded in the required record.
I have attached what I have at the moment and any help or advice you can supply is appreciated.
I have set up a bound object frame on a form, everything works good, only problem i have is the picture doesn't display but the name of the picture does, ie...picture.jpg. if i click on this the picture is displayed in microsoft office picture manager, I think I'm close..maybe just a shove away..
Trying to display PDF in a form. Ideally, I would like to link one or more PDF's to each record in a table and be able to view the PDF within the form. Opening the file via double-click would be a nice bonus.
I've looked at a helpful post here http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100877 which describes doing this through ActiveX
Part of my trouble is I don't understand the ActiveX well enough. I was able to make this work with a sample file, but then I lost all the tool bars that were on the document and can't get them back. I also can't figure out how to get the double-click to open to work. Is there documentation somewhere on the ActiveX control?
I also tried using an OLE object. I can create a form in design view that contains a linked PDF, but I can't figure out how to index off a table. I also can't figure out how to resize (for a thumbnail, for example).
I have a problem. In form view, if you use the mouse wheel to scroll down, you switch to the next record. Is there a way I can disable this? Even if I switch the RecordSelectors and NavigationButtons properties in the Form Selector to "No", it still goes to the next record as soon as you scroll down with the mouse wheel. I want the Form to scroll down if you use the mouse wheel, not go to the next record as it does now.
Please help. I don't know what to do. Thank you in advance. kruger101

When I doubleclick on certain records on the subform it will open the form TRIP NV diplaying me the linked record, on other records it will open the form TRIP NV but a blank form with no records displayed! Why is this happening? Marco
This is probably a very basic question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
I have two tables linked together, in a one to many relationship (a supervisor table, and an employee table). Each supervisor can have many employees that report to them. I then set up a forum to enter new employees as they come into the corporation, and need to referance which supervisor they report to, I have a drop down box that I want to display SupervisorLastName, SupervisorFirstName (for example, Williams, George) but is only displaying the SupervisorID (for example 60).
How can I make the forum display Williams, George instead of 60?
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.
In a Query, how can I display in one column a value that can come from 2 different fields based on a selection.
Say I have two date fields (Date1 & Date2) they can both be blank, or one or both of them could have a real value. To make it simple here is the logic I want to employ. If Date2 > " " display Date2, otherwise display Date1. I want the value to appear in the same column. Can this be done in a query or must it be done in a report? Thanks!
I am creating an access DB that has job listings and displays the DB online.
I am creating tables rows for 'BeginListing' and 'Endlisitng' etc that are stored as a Date
How do I get the asp/vbscript to check the date 'EndListing' of the entry and to stop displaying it when the date is later than today (so it takes them offline when the date is expired)?
My script is like this and loops through each record set displaying the contents:
'Loop through the recordset Do While not rsJobPostings.EOF
'Write the HTML to display the current record in the recordset Response.Write ("<div class='sitetext'><br> Job Number: ") Response.Write (rsJobPostings("Job_Number")) Response.Write ("<br>Job Heading: <b>") Response.Write (rsJobPostings("Job_Heading")) Response.Write ("<br>") Response.Write (rsJobPostings("ListingEnds")) .... you get the idea.

Hello all you experts and thanks in advance for your help.
I want to issue a message box after a window (a form) is displayed. I have attached it (in VBA code) to the onOpen event but the message displays before the window is displayed. So I tried, OnCurrent, then onLoad, but in each case the event triggers the message box before the window is displayed.
Is there an event which triggers AFTER the display of the window. Note that I don't want the message box displayed several times so onGotFocus is out.
I have a field in a query that I would like to display differently than what is stored in the table. The field is call apt# and the output looks like this 0000000011409468Ø. I would like to display this data without showing Ø. Is there a way to do this? Thanks..
Hi, I am a complete newbie to Access. I want to be able to double click on the field in the table, form or a query and have, as a result, another form pop-up with all the data from that record displayed. I have tried macros, but the doubleclick property only has things like goto first, last, etc. records. and always brings the first record in the table. Any hep in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a form with a textbox and I want to fill that text box with the calculations from values of other text boxes. However when I put the equation = Sum (box1 + box2 + box3) into the textbox's control source I don't get any results even though box1, box2 and box3 have values in there. I also need the result to be saved in a field on my table, but I got no idea how to do it.
To display images on a form (Access 2003) I used the same code of the Northwind database sample (Form Emplyees).
when changing the Picture's location it returns a bug in the code (Couldn' open ...the file), or the ErrorMessage Label should have the value: "File not Found".
Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current() Dim res As Boolean Dim fName As String Path = CurrentProject.Path On Error Resume Next ErrorMsg.Visible = False If Not IsNull(Me![ProductPicture]) Then res = IsRelative(Me![ProductPicture]) fName = Me![ImagePath] If (res = True) Then fName = Path & "" & fName End If Debug.Print "fName: " & fName Me![ImageFrame].Picture = fName showImageFrame Me.PaintPalette = Me![ImageFrame].ObjectPalette If (Me![ImageFrame].Picture <> fName) Then hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "File not Found" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If Else hideImageFrame ErrorMsg.Caption = "Click on Add/Edit to add the Product Picture" ErrorMsg.Visible = True End If
End Sub
Function IsRelative(fName As String) As Boolean IsRelative = (InStr(1, fName, ":") = 0) And (InStr(1, fName, "") = 0) End Function #
I'm really hoping someone can help with a topic which has cropped up from time to time in the past but which never seems to have been answered satisfactorily, and that's displaying html in a database.
I have a large database which already includes html codes in the fields - it's a complete set of email digest posts with fields for date, sender, message number, subject and body text - which I'd like to display in it's original form. An ordinary form shows all the html code making the contents difficult to read; is there a simple way of being able to view this so that the correct original message layout is shown, i.e., the html is parsed (is that the right expression)?
Perhaps I should point out I'm a complete novice when it comes to Access; I can write a simple form easily enough, but I have zero knowledge of VBA or anything similar, so non-technical answers or a step by step example would be very much appreciated.
