One set of users enter sales orders that are pretty simple in nature... Order Number, Item, Quantity, Ship To... etc. They occasionally run across the need to make multiple entries that are identical, because a customer wants the order delivered on a regular time schedule or they want invoiced in increments, etc.
So, they have a need to be able to enter as many as 50 orders, all identical except for the Order Number (and delivery date), all at once. None of these fields is a key field or an autonumber. Order Number is manually entered, though it is indexed - no duplicates. I'd like to create the ability within a form for them to put in a list of Order Numbers, plus the values for the other required entries, and have them populate the source table by applying all the entries to each of the individual Order Numbers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem:confused:
I'm working on a database to run my window cleaning business. I have a customers table which contains all the details for each customer ie address, name etc.
There is also a Jobs table which will contain a record every time a customer's windows are cleaned.
There is a one to many relationship between them ie, 1 customer to many jobs.
I would like to create a form which would list all the customers which are due to be done and then be able to create a job record for each customer in the Jobs table, showing that it's done, with the click of a button.
For one, I can't get both tables to display on a continous form because of the relationship and then I don't know any other way of creating multiple new records in one go.
Would i have to use VB code for this or is there a simpler way? I just can't get my head around this one:mad:
I've designed a form to enter several items at the same time, eg, I want to enter aeveral company names on one form. The trouble is that when I enter data into one box, it appears in all the other boxes with the same field names, not allowing multiple data, is there a way around this?

I need to be able to enter a number of orders that would all be the same, but they will have different order numbers, in sequence.
I'd like to enter all the information in a form, then have "First Order Number" and "How Many?" fields, and have the system grab the detail, apply it to the order number entered, create a record in the table, then reapply the detail to the next sequential number, repeating the process until it has created the number of orders shown in the "How Many?" field.
I am at a total loss here, and any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks!

I've created simple data base with 2 connected table with relationship one to many, then I have built the querry based on those 2 table and then I have done the form based on this querry, so there are fields from those 2 tables in the form.
When I try to fill in the fields with information I get error message:
"You can not add record (records); missing foreign key in the table"
When I checked relationship property window everything seems to be ok.
A slight flaw in the design requires this change. What is the best way to do it?
View 8 Replies View RelatedBasically I am inputting stock into my database so I can have a record of what I have left and who it's gone too. Where I'm stuck though is when I want to add an item that I have more than one off but only enter it once and have it assigned a unique stock ID number (this is in the form of an autonumber) for however much quantity I choose to enter. So for example I have 5 keyboards, I type in 'Keyboard' into my item field (named txtItem) and then type '5' into my quantity field (named txtQuantity). When I then press Add Stock (named btnAddStock) I should then see in the table, 5 separate Keyboards listed each with a different Stock ID number.

uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
Thanks
In the code in this tutorial shown here [URL] It says to create RentalRates with no Navigation Buttons. Then after creating the form, that has no navigation buttons, I am to create 8 records in the next step. I assume it means to create the 8 records using the form RentalRates.
Now that is confusing. Do they enter the records using the newly created RentalRecords form or enter the records on the Table Categories; which is the RentalRecords form's record source?
Now I know of one way to enter the records which is to put Navigation Buttons to yes, enter the records and then put Navigation Buttons back to no. I do not think that is what they mean. What do they mean?
I've created a student database with multiple tables that all relate to my primary table. I do not want anyone adding new student records to the primary table, so to make it as user-friendly as possible, I've created a form for entering new records. This form is based on a query that shows all the student information (from all tables) and now I find I cannot add new records. Is it possible to use a form based on a query for data entry? Or do I need to instead base the form on my primary table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form with 15 unbound text boxes (daily temperatures) and what I am trying to do after entering the temperatures into the text boxes the user clicks an add button which will add 15 new records into the temperature table
the code I have started off with is
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO ColdTemperatures (ProductID, ColdTempDate, Temperature) VALUES (" & Lettuce & ", #" & Me.RealTime & "#, " & Me.Lettuce & ")"
which adds 1 successfully however if i repeat the code above for all 15 this Im assumming will create a potential bottleneck and slow the system down
is it possible to add all 15 records at once? do you think Im going at this the right way
I need to count records based on multiple criteria from two different tables. I have two tables (i.e. "tblTasks" and "tblTaskHistory"). The tables have a one-to-many relationship based on the "TaskID" field. "tblTasks" has a field called "AssignedTo" and "tblTaskHistory" has a field called "TaskStatus". I need to know how many tasks have been "reopened", the "reopened" status is located in the "TaskStatus" field in "tblTaskHistory". I need this count against a unique listing of employees which can be found in the "AssignedTo" field in "tblTasks".

I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.
Here is the situation that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. I'm working with a database that tracks our condo units - from prospect coming into the system until we close them as a buyer. All the units are setup in the system so a salesperson will select from the units available. All that works fine when I create reports. The problem is trying to get the parking and storage on the same reports with the unit information. The problem is that there are multiple parking/storage units "attached" to a single unit and I cannot figure out how to get them to all appear on a single row of the report. As an example -
I have units A, B, C
Parking units p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6
Storage units s1,s2,s3.
Unit A uses parking units p1, p2, p5 and storage unit s2.
Unit B uses parking unit p3 and storage unit s1.
Unit C uses parking unit p4, p6 and storage unit s3.
How do I write a query/report that would show:
Unit Parking Storage
Unit A p1, p2, p5 s2
Unit B p3 s1
Unit C p4,p6 s3

I have three tables. Risk, Names and RiskAndNamesJunction table. I have the junction table because I have many to many relation (meaning many people can be connected to one risk and many risks can be connected to one people).
The problem is that If I make a query to show the people related to the risks, if there are many people for one risk then it will put the people in different rows. Meaning that for risk 2 I will have three rows, because there are three people connected to this rows. See the attached file!
What I would like to do is to have a query which (in case there are more than one risk owners) puts the second name in another column, the third name in another column and so on. So I will have only one row per risks.
The attached file is a dummy file, so there are only maximum three names per risk. In the real file the maximum is five names per risk. So I am talking about no more then five extra columns. (So I am talking about a query which would put the first finding in the first extra column, then the second item in the second and so on till five. It there is no third or fourth or fifht item then the columns remain blank).
Unfortunately I have to do this because our mother company works with excel and they are sticking to this format in excel.
See the attached file ....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.
I am trying to manage a contract price from month to month. Every month, some portion (or none) of the total contract will be completed. I have a form in which the user enters 'Amt Completed this Pay Period.' Then the 'Total Completed To Date' is automatically calculated by adding the 'Amt Completed this Pay Period' to the 'Previously Completed Amt.' I would then like to use the new 'Total Completed to Date' as the next months 'Previously Completed Amt.'
Basically, I am trying to calculate a value in a form for one entry, and then passing that value to another entry to use. Does anyone know how I would pass this info along?
Hi Folks,
I'm doing a Schedule Adherence Report in Access. One table has the schedule start time and stop time. The second table has exception times (lunches, breaks, etc). Both tables have the common denominator of a unique Schedule ID. How do I bring them together with repetitive Schedule records from the first table. What I get is the following:
ID Code Time Code Time
1 Open 12:00 Break 2:00
1 Open 12:00 Lunch 4:00
1 Open 12:00 Break 6:00
What I want is the following:
ID Code Time Code2 Time Code3 Time Code4 Time

Is there away to return just the first record of a bunch of tables? I have stuff that gets updated daily and need to be able to search thru all of it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have drafted a simple VBA code in a form button that takes the result calculated in a query and pastes the result into a table. I have attached my test database to illistrate..In my attached database, i have a list of 5 records, i am wanting to push the calculation button have all the records updated with the result that is calculated in the query in 1 go.
As it stands right now i have to do it one at a time per record, which is not preferable when there are potentially hundreds or thousands of lines. I am wanting to do this because i want to reduce my reliance on calculated cells in forms and reports where i have to draft long formulae across 3 separate queries to get the result i am looking for.
I'm building a database for a realtor friend. Part of his job is keeping track of where his clients want to live. I have added a field named "Areas". I need to populate that field with names of cities where his clients want to buy thier house. Sometimes there are only a couple of cities. Other times there could be more then 10. I don't want him to type these cities in. He is not a good typer, either am I, and he is prone to abbreviations and typos. Garbage in garbage out. I would like to provide him a drop down list, or something like that, of all the cities or areas and have him select each area and then either hit a command button or copy/paste it to that text box. Either way will work. The command button would be nifty. The result would give him the option of doing a form filter and being able to filter that text box for ex: "atlanta" and "syracuse". He then could cue these people when he has a property come available in either one of those cities.
I DON'T understand VBA code. I don't know how to write it or where to put it.
I tried to search this site and I could not find any threads like this, to my amazement. If there is a similiar post out there and I could not find it I apologize in advance.
Hi all!
I need a little help with a new function in our CRM db (Ac2000).
I've made a system for handling sale-prospects. When a sale is done, I want to transfer the costumer info to the costumer table. All this is well, no problems with this.
BUT, each prospect (And costumer) has contacts. There can be several contacts to each prospect, connected with a prospect number.
The challange is to transfer the contacts as well. And assigning the new costumernumber..
Dont bother going techincal right away, but a point in the right direction would be great!
