Dont Know How To Use Code
Nov 18, 2005
I have a problem that seems like it could be very similar to this post from a few years ago
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=46645&highlight=vba332.dll
My problem is I dont know how to use Access other then open a program. This is for a customer and they dont know how to do it either as someone else devoloped their database.
Basically it looks like the database is corrupt but I can not open it using a newer version of access because it has some permissions and I dont know how to go about making my access "look" like the other computer.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
James

heres one that just don't add up
from the beginning,
i've got a form that puts data into a table from a text box named txtcomments, the table allows 255 chars to be stored the comments are show later using a copy of the input form, all this works great. now i'm taking this data and inserting it into another table using sql inset in the vb editor so i can play with it and leave the original in tact everything works fine on my test machine but when i transfere the database to the server i am only permitted to enter 127 chars in the text box i've narrowed it down to the sql statement and know that where the error is occuring ive tried deleting things and reinstalling im just going round in circles and when i transfere the database back to the test machine everything works fine the test machine uses access 2003 but the server uses 2000 this is the only differance
any help would be god like
john
ps sql statement as follows looks fine to me,
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblHistory VALUES([txtcomments]);"

Been using simple access for a while now, and this problem is new on me...
Ive got two tables. One has data listed by OLD MATERIAL number (material) and the other has the new Material Number to convert to...
I wanted to simply add a column onto the table to show the new material number (just like a vlookup in excel)...
the odd thing is, i've done this loads of times before and tis worked... Anyone able to help?? :confused: :confused: :confused:
SELECT [2005 DATA].*, MatConversion.[WDB Material], MatConversion.[wdb name], MatConversion.Category, MatConversion.Conversion
FROM [2005 DATA] LEFT JOIN MatConversion ON [2005 DATA].Mat = MatConversion.[Celtic material No];

Hi all,
I created a database for my company and it works very well but, I need it or something to track the way I pay comisions. Its a type of multi-level company and pay rates vary. Also, once someone hits the top level they now join in profit sharing. The profit sharing part is the tough part becase say person A is at the top he is a team leader and he gets money not only from his sales, but also from the people in his group below him. It must also be able to pay the correct person if someone quits, say Person D, the system knows that it all off person D's people under him go up to person C now. I hope this isnt to confussing, but im starting to confuss myself as im trying to set this up.
Is access able to keep track of an organization like this or should I try to use something else?
Thanks.
Scott

What I want to do, is have an unbound form, user enters data in to it, then clicks on a 'save' button which then writes the data to a new record within a table
I have got no idea what it is called so find it hard to do the search.

Im trying to make a simple database in access , so far all is going well but im stuck with the inventory.
I have "products" table with Id [autonum],name[text],price[money], provider[number], stock[number]
Providers table with Id[autonum] ,name [Text],tel[number],
Employes table with Id[autonum], name[text],tel [number]
and i have Sales table with Id[autonum],date[date],employer[number],product[number],quantity[number],total price[money]
I have relationships between table.provider and provider.name then sales.employer with employer.name and sales.product witht products.name.
Now what i want to do is that every time that i make a sale it modify my stock number on the products table. I think the proper way is just to calculate stock every time i need it but i dont know how to do that either :D
Ill upload my db but i have to tell you that is in spanish so if you haveany question im here to answer.Thanks a lot to all

I have installed on my PC, WindowsXP sp.1, MSaccess versions 97 and XP.
After I have tested some databases, MSaccess 97 don't works successfully more, but XP version works good. I can't modify files mdb. Access works like in run-time mode: bars and commands reduced, standard icon of access absent, database window absent, ecc.
If macro autoexec or a form that play at the start of mdb are present, mdb works but it is impossibile to modify it. Otherwise mdb dont works, I can see access window with only menu files and window.
I have removed access and after yet installed it, but it don't work successfully.
maybe other application leaved files (or modification in file registry) that install procedure of access97 cant rewrite? And that dispose access 97 to work in run-time mode (or like)?
I am hopeless. Can You help me? Can you give me a list of files to remove, or list of modification to do in registry?

1.) What is the File Extension associated with Microsoft Access database files?.........MAF or MAD
2.) A Field Name may contain a maximum of ________ characters.
3.) A ____________________ determines the kind of values that users can store in a field.
4.) A Field Description is required for all data fields......T/F
5.) Use of Field Descriptions dramatically increases the size of the database and, in general, should be avoided.....T/F
6.) FirstName, PhoneNumber, and ZipCode are fields which typically include an Input Mask.......T/F
7.) A Field Name is required, but a Field Caption is optional.....T/F
8.) A 5 digit Zip Code should use this Data Type......
9.) An INDEX speeds up updates, but may slow searches and sorting on a field.......T/F
10.) A Default Value is a value that is automatically entered in a field for new records......T/F

I have a variable cost that is a calculated field (as in the colum only exists in a query not as a colum in a table) that is variable hours * variable rate....the problem is ppl at my company sometimes dont know how the costs are goign to be broken down so they only put a Variable Cost....
and since they dont know the rate and hours my calculated field returns nothing...
how can i accomplish this, VBA might seem the way to go but i don't know how to use it for Access.....
so basically i need to calcualte the variable cost only if they enter something in var hours and var rate...other wise the var cost should just be what the users type ( so i i guess i have to make Var Costs a column in the table to give users the option of entering it)

I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works???

Hi all,
I have a form that is used to Enter and Edit records. At the end of a record is a "shipped Date". This is blank until the item ships. I want to make the entire record editable up until a date gets placed in this field. Is this possible? and can editing of the record still be done maybe at the table level?
Thanks

I have a form based on a lengthy SQL query.
I have several controls in this form whose control Source has the following formula:
=Nz(DSum("Capital","Capital_Act","DatePart('q', CVDate([Capital_Month] & ' 1')) = 1 And [projectid]=" & "'" & [projectid] & "'"),0)
When I navigate from one record to another record in this form, the values in the controls take a looooong time to populate (most of the time they come up as blank and when I move my mouse over that control - the value gets populated....this is slow !!!).
I believe this is happenning because I am using DSUM function all over the form.
What is the fastest way to display this control WITHOUT using DSUM?
Many thanks!

Hi i'm after some time saving advice
i'm writing an Access database to quote for windows & doors,
there are many variants like style, width, height, glass types, security specifications and about 4 other options.
what would be the best way of working out how to add the extras for each option,
The price would be based on the style first, then depending on width and height, then on what options were ticked . i.e securtity spec yes/no, then on what glass type, the price gfor that would be based on the entered width x height etc.
is it possible to do a look up, like you can in Excel where it looks at at grid/matrix based on style number and width x height to get the price, but then how would i get it to add the other options which will depend on size and number of openings.
any help greatfully received.....

One the face of it it sounds quite simple - i have a table that holds various bits of info about a customer but also a field that contains a holiday period - what i want to be able to do is show all records that do not equal todays date.
So if today was 11/04/06 - and one of my customers had 11/04/06
as one of his holiday days he would not appear on the report but all the others would.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
regards

Hello Friends,
Thank you for all the help i have gotten over the past couple days, as you can tell i am new and seek somebodys experience and wisdom to solve my issue.
I have a simple Form, That allows the users to enter contact information.
At the very top I have "Name" and "Age" and below it i have other fields such as Address, city, state, etc...
How can I make it so the user does not have access to the other information until they type in BOTH fields "Name" and "age" first.
Can somebody please show me how the Code might look like.
Thank you for your time.
