Hi, I'm new to Access.
I'm trying to do a very simple thing but I can't.
Let's say I sell a lot of cars, every day so I need a database only to collect info about selling. I need a table (SoldCars) which need refers (read: field) to 2 other tables: 1.Constructor and 2.Model, or only to Model (because Construvctor could be redundant). Anyway, when I register a new sold car, I want a menu in which I can find a Model but not after having chosne the Constructor, so when I choose "Ferrari" then I can only find "Testarossa" and "GTO" and choose one of them. Stored field can be Model, because Constructor is implicit. But I need this tip because let's say I sell thousands of cars per day and I want it to be very quick. Please help or I'll die under piles of cars!
Thanks!!!!
I'm using Access 2003: what I need to do is to be able to use a form, which I created already with a sample, 6 fields, table and let the user input the data in the form fields but each time that the user has finished inputting the data, creating a new table with a different name, specified by the user, with the same fields used in the original one!
In more clear terms: replicate the original table every time the user has finished inputting the data, but use a different name that he will choose.
Thank you!!
PS: Be warned that unfortunately it is my first time using access for something so complex (for me).
I have a purchase order form that has a subform embedded. After users have filled up the form, they click on a button that will open up a print preview of a report. The report shows the details of the form they entered. However, all the fields on the parent form that are filled up after filling up the subform are not displayed on the report.
The reason is most probably that they have not been saved yet. How can I solve this problem?
OK, I have this formula in an excel cell that works out the change in percentage of two cells, the formula is as follows.
IF(B3=0,O3,((+B3-O3)/B3))
The cells used are B3 and 03 and the results are stored in the AA3 cell.
I am trying to write this in a text field on a report which does the same thing but i'm having probelms translating this across. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
I have a two-column list box where the user selects multiple Test Names and Test Measures. Through VBA, I loop through and create a string of the selected items and store into two seperate variables, one for each column. I concatenate with the "In" and some parenthesis to end up with the following:
I place each of the In statements into two seperate dummy text boxes on the form. Then I point the query criteria to these text boxes.
When I run the query, I get nothing. However, if I copy and paste the In statements above from the text boxes directly into the query criteria, I get the desired results.
I changed the code to create an "Or" statement (e.g. "ELA" OR "MEAP" OR "Star Math"), but still the same issue.
why the query will not read from the text boxes on the Form?
Hi all, I converted one database from sqlbase to access. It is so fast in sqlbase. But so slow in access. Taking time to run the query. I need to make it fast. Any help please. :confused:
I've made a graph of revenue by customer but due to the number of customers it's a bit hard to see the customer names.
So I would like to be able to select my own custom group of 5 customers to plot on the graph.
To do this I think I need a query that selects the 5 customers which is populated from 5 comboboxes on a new form that the user can select customer names from but I'm not sure of the VBA that links all this together.
From a dropdown field in the form it's currently possible to choose a geographical region for which to generate a report. The data populating this dropdown is pulled in from a Value List as follows:
" ";"*";1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;EU;WD
I now need the ability to choose various different regions simultaneously which is not possible with the current method. I've looked into a nested continuous form and a multi-select combo box or list box, but none of these are as user friendly as my preferred method.
What I would like is 15 checkboxes plus a 16th to select/unselect all. When any of these checkboxes is checked, I need to create something like a dynamic value string or temporary table to hold the list of chosen regions until the generate button is clicked at which point the data is used to generate the report and cleared. I also need a piece of code to check/uncheck all the boxes.
I have an endpoint for students so they can report any faults in the compound.I want to build a form that contains buttons of a certain value so that a student clicks on the button.Is fed directly to the table and pass to the next form to another value table.
How do I build a form which will pull only certain work orders from my table [Work Orders], filter it through a query, [Payroll] which gives me only those work orders which match a certain repID#, for only certain Invoice Dates, and and then display a talley of the total number of times a certain product appears in the field [ProductSold] on the query [Payroll]?
Can anybody help me build the last table in my database? I have taught myself Access – and can usually get by with a little help from this forum. I have been trying for days to try and solve this !!!
The database is designed to manage feedback questionnaires from attendees of training courses.
I have attached the relationship diagram.
- A course may run for several days. The details of the course are held in the table ‘Courses’. During a course, attendees may be asked to fill in several Questionnaires - An Attendee is a Person that attends a Course. Attendees are held in the table ‘Attendees’ and their details are held in the table ‘Person’. - There is a ‘Library’ of questions that sit in the table ‘Questions’ - The questions can be assembled into “Standard Questionnaires”. These sit in the table called “Questdesign” which is a junction table. Assembling a Standard Questionnaire involves using a form to pick questions and give them an order (Qnumber). I HAVE DONE THIS. - A specific “Questionnaire” is a “Standard Questionnaire” that is used on a specific course. The list of Questionnaires is held in the table “Questionnaire” - Scoresheet is the junction table between Attendee and Questionnaire (an Attendee on a course may fill in several Questionnaires and a Questionnaire may be filled in by lots of Attendees.)
I now need a table (Scores) in which to put all the scores to the questions (in other words, the scores of the questions on the Questionnaires that are completed by the Attendees on a Course.)
At the end of the day I am aiming to have a form in which:
The Attendee number is entered and all the person’s details are filled in automatically) – I HAVE DONE THIS The Questionnaire number is entered and all the course details are filled in automatically – I HAVE DONE THIS A Scoresheet ID is filled in (Autonumber) - I HAVE DONE THIS A subform appears which shows the right set of questions and question numbers for the appropriate Questionnaire – with a blank column so that the user can fill in the scores which get stored in the Scores Table. - I CAN'T DO THIS !!!
I cannot work out where to link my Scores table and how to build a query that drives the correct behaviour of the subform
I hope I have explained this clearly. I would be so grateful for any help. This Forum is fabulous.
I have some database with columns 'Number', 'Mfr Name' and 'Mfr Part Number'. Number - internal catalogue item of a company. Mfr Name - name of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Mfr Part Number - part number of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Each item may have one or more Mfr Name & Mfr Part Numbers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I need to build a following query: Input gets part of Mfr Part Number and output is all Mfr Name & Mfr Part Number of match item.
I have attacked quite a few guides ( Dummies & Absolute Beginners ) on how to build a database of my gardening clients, but have run into a problem that they can't seem to resolve. Is there anyone out there who can help me with "referential integrity" and trying to link relationships between the various tables I have created.
Does anyone know how you might build sliding bar displays as an input device for scores into an Access database? I am building an application that could really use something like this.
Here is an example. First go to the 'Chelsea tab', slide the bars, submit the results, and see the results on the "Results" tab
How can I build a date in a query that is used for filtering purposes? The data is in the records in two fields - Month and Year. In our query we have an expression that builds a date - DateRange: [Month]/1/[Year] in order to qualify the record with the criteria Between FromDate and ThruDate. DateRange as it is shown here returns a date of 12/30/1899 for all records. DateRange: #[Month]/1/[Year]# is invalid syntax. DateRange: [Month] & "/" & 1 & "/" & [Year] is not recognized as a date.
Hi all, I have a field that stores software versions as text. The version numbers can be simple (4.0, 5.0) or unknown or more complicated (4.5.200512, etc). The user wants to be able view data in a pivotChart without seeing interim versions- so 4.5.200512 would not show up but its data would be counted as part of 4.5. Anybody know how I can do this? thanx
Let's say that I've got the following tables: - tblCustomers(IDCust,NameCust) - tblEmployees(IDEmpl,NameEmpl) - tblProjects(IDProj,IDCust,IDEmpl,Duration)
My query: SELECT tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl, Sum(tblProjects.Duration) AS SumOfDuration FROM (tblProjects INNER JOIN tblEmployees ON tblProjects.IDEmpl = tblEmployees.IDEmpl) INNER JOIN tblCustomers ON tblProjects.IDCust = tblCustomers.IDCust GROUP BY tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl ORDER BY tblCustomers.NameCust;
Using Access 2000 is it possible to specify a starting location ie (c:) and using VBA search every sub folder from this point for files ending .mdb or .xls?
I want to be able to build a table with an record showing the file name and directory for each file found.
