I need to use dlookup in a query to populate a new field "number" with values obtained using a current field "letter". I have a (lookup) table as follows: Col1 = A, B, C, D and Col2 = 1, 2, 3, 4 which of course gives the number code corresponding to each letter.
In Excel, I simply use the formula: vlookup("letter", "lookuptableref", 2, false) and it populates my new field number with the correct values.
Can anyone help me with the equivalent in Access using dlookup?
I have 4 tables, 2 entities, 1 relationship and 1 lookup
Entities are tblOrg and tblForm Relationship is tblVentureParticipation Lookup is tblInfo (Has many different lookups)
When an organization (these are listed in tblOrg) turns in a form, a new record is inserted into tblForm with the ID of that organization and the ID of the form
I want to identify the forms that have NOT been turned in.
So I figured
Step 1: Identify all organizations who are participating (WHERE tblOrg.OrgID = tblVentureParticipation.OrgID)
Step 2: Join all of the previously selected organizations with all of the forms (FROM tblOrg, tblInfo WHERE tblInfo.LookupID LIKE 'F##')
Step 3: Remove all of the entries in tblForm that match the result of Step 2.
I have verified that both of these individual queries return the right information ...
Sorry for such a Newbie question but.... I'm trying to find the equivalent of Filemaker's Lookup function within Access. To quote the Filemaker help page:
"A lookup copies data from another table into a field in the current table. After data is copied, it becomes part of the current table (and remains in the table from which it was copied). Data copied to the current table doesn't change automatically when the data in the other table changes. To establish a connection between tables for a lookup, you create a relationship. Then you define a lookup to copy data from a field in the related table into a field in the current table."
The requirement for this is for an invoicing database where we need to copy a customer's invoice and shipping address into the invoice record so that, if the customer changes address, the old orders retain the actual address that was shipped to rather than be updated to whatever the customer's current address is. The same applies to many other things that fluctuate over time such as promotion discounts and list prices. When these change, looking back through old orders will give different prices than were actually invoiced. This must be a very common situation.
I've searched high and low on the web for an answer but so far have come up with nothing. A workaround might be to create the relationship then, when the customer ID (or product code etc) is changed, fire off a macro that copies the data from the related fields in the second table into the appropriate fields within the current table. If the Filemaker Lookup functionality is already present within Access it would be much neater to use that instead.
I have got a combo box with a product code in it, and depending on which code is selected I want the data to come from one of two different tables. Is there any way I can do something like a match formula in Excel to see if the stock code is contained in a table?
I am an intermediate level Access user and I am trying to have one of my tables lookup data in another table and populate the corresponding data. For example, TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 both have a common field, MATERIAL field. TABLE 1 contains a SERIAL CODE field which is all the serial codes and TABLE 2 does not. I am trying to copy over the serial codes for 1000s of lines of data from TABLE 1 to TABLE 2 via the corresponding MATERIAL field. How exactly can I do this? Please be specific and do not leave any steps out if I need to enter functions, etc. Please tell me exactly where the process needs to be implemented.
i'm using a sql procedure which i'd like to implement the equivalent in ms access. i want to know if they can be any possibilities. this is my procedure
Code: CREATE PROCEDURE CreateOrders (@cartId char(36)) As DECLARE @CmdID int INSERT INTO Commande DEFAULT VALUES SET @CmdID = @@IDENTITY INSERT INTO DetailsCommande ( CmdID, ProduitID, ProduitTitre, Quantite, CoutUnitaire )
I need to split this table in 4 equals parts: - count of id must be equal or close to equal(ex: 467 split in 3 x 117 and 116) for each part - the cumulated Value1 and Value2 must be equal or close to equal for each part
I have above table in access. I want to use this table in query to find value of any product using a formula (Value A*X)+Value B. The product and X query picks up from another table. The same can be done easily in Excel using Index, Match formula but how in Access.
Whats the best way to show the text result of a combo box selection when displaying the information through a query? I notice the table is also reflecting only the numerical ID result of the selection so I'm not sure how to take this result and display it as a text result to the user.
In Excel, I use Application.EnableCancelKey to stop a user from interrupting a macro whilst it's running. Is there an equivalent piece of code in Access so that it stops a user from using ESC or CTRL+BREAK to stop/interrupt a code from running?
Or can someone suggest an alternative way of achieving this?
I have some code which runs a query and then exports the data to an Excel file and I do not want a user to interrupt or cancel the routine.
I'd like to create a query which will consist of simple SELECT statements as follows:
SELECT [table1].[field1], [table2].[field1], [table2].[field2] FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON ([table1].[fieldX] = [table2].[fieldX]);
The challenge arises b/c instead of joining on equal values, such as the following: [table1] INNER JOIN [table2] ON [table1].[field1] = [table2].[field1]
I would like to join based on equivalencies, such as: [table1] INNER JOIN [table2] ON [table1].[field1] = 34 is equivalent to [table2].[field1] = 2;
I do not know the proper syntax, so this is where I need help. I tried to search online without any success.
Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then Else MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie" DoCmd.Close If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then Else MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie" DoCmd.Close End If End If
I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Was wondering if someone could possibly help me with a DCount problem i'm having.
I have a form with a subform, displaying bookings that customer has made. What i want to be able to do, is when a booking is created for a customer in this subform, after the time period chosen is selected, i want a DCount to run, go to a table of regular bookings, count up how many bookings in it have the date of booking, that same as the date just put into the subform, AND the time period of booking the same as just put into the subform. There can only be 1 result at max due to its setup, and from there it should be fine, but i cannot get it to work. The field names are as follow:
Subform: Date for Booking Time Period
tblRegularBookings Date For Time Period
If this doesn't make any sense i can try and explain better.
I have only been using access for about 3 weeks now, and its kicking my butt pretty hard.
Im making a query that does all kinds of math junk in it. I want to be able to find the number of occurrences of x in another column in the table.
For a better example, lets say I have a column named "SP" in the "compiled" table, the values of this column range from 1 to 5, in about 200 entries. So there is another column in the compiled table called "SPX", which has the same value range. So if I am looking at the one entry in the table, I want to take its value in the "SPX" column, and see how many times it shows up in the "SP" column.
I have been trying to get dcount to do this, but I cant seem to get it to work... Must have tried a dozen ways now.
My main table is called NEWcompiled, I have fields named "faction", "SPeffect", and "Launcher_ID". I am trying to use Dcount in a query to count up how many entries have a value in "faction" and "SPeffect" that are equal, and a value of "yes" in "Launcher_ID".
Currently my code looks like this: DCount("Faction","NEWcompiled","Faction = '" & [SPEffect] & "'" And "Launcher_ID = yes")
This indeed counts how many entries have equal values for "faction" and "SPeffect", but then it seems to add that to sum of all the entries that have a yes for "Launcher_id".
i have the problem when using dcount in my query,anyone can help me?this is the situation.
Table 1:
Num
20080207 20080215 20080218
Table 2:
Begin End
20080206 20080208 20080200 200802116
i want to make the query,and i want to add field "sumactive" using the dcount function refer to Table 1,anyone can help me?i want to count how many record "num" in table 1,between field "begin" and field "end" in table 2
Im trying to count the number of records in a table that contain certain crieria, I think I should be using the DCount function and have looked for help on it, but I dont understand it. im unsure if I should be counting the records on the form or the table.
This is my Criteria, Table Name = Armour_Selection, Field name = ExerciseName, I want it to tell me how many records there are with ExerciseName = ?
I've looked at numerous threads on this site and still can't get a dcount to work.
I want the database to check if there is a valid reference number entered before opening a form.
There is a table called 'staff' with a 'payroll number' field in it. This table contains all staff.
I then want the user to enter a payroll number and retrieve the corresponding record. However, if there is no match then the user has entered the number incorrectly.
I've done:
int2=dcount("[payroll number]","staff",forms!control,payroll) and then an:
if int2=0 then msgbox end if exit sub
However, I either now get a message when the number is correct, or it's exitting the sub every time.
