Does anyone know what would cause records in a table to change their sequence? I have a table that I clear out. Then I append a header record. Then I append the detail records. The table always is populated correctly. But sometimes, when exported to a text file, the header ends up down amongst the detail records. What would cause this?
View RepliesHello All,
I am new to access so this might be a stupid question but here goes.
I am making a new database for my orders (which I download from my eCommerce software in the form of a CSV file).
The Problem I am having is that my Order numbers are unique and that is what identifies the orders, however in the table data each order that has more than 1 item is listed on 2 seperate table lines. All info on the rows are identacle until the Part # field and the price field.
How can I make access understand that these few lines of data with the same order # are actually the same order with multiple items on the order?
Thanks,
Eddie
I want to order the data on a tabular form.
I realise I could do it by basing the form on a query like:
Select *
from table
order by field
But I have allready made andlaid out the form, after basing it just on the table. Is there a way I can now order the data on the form, after having created it?
Before I start I must say I’m not a coder (not even slightly). I’m just trying to reverse engineer a little access database to speed up order processing. The guy who created it has left :(
It’s a customer order database and at the moment if there is repeat business it requires manually copying over data such as name, address etc. from their old order. Is there some way to create an order from a previous or (ideally) currently viewed order?
This is the code for the “Create new order” option:
Private Sub Command93_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command93_Click
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Exit_Command93_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command93_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command93_Click
End Sub
Is there something I could add that would copy and transfer the currently viewed name/address to a new order instead of just a new blank one? Is it even possible to copy/transfer data from currently viewed text boxes to a new order? Maybe there is a better way to do it?
Thanks :)
Hi all,
I'm currently working on a simple inventory system that i keep trying to improve and making it much less simple :(
In my product table I have a min and max level. What I'm trying to achieve is to set up a form where i can select a Supplier, then hit a button (or another form of trigger) and it comes back with all the products for that supplier where we are low on stock ie
Product - Supplier - On Hand - Min - Max
Prod1 - Supp1 - 2 - 2 - 4
Prod2 - Supp1 - 4 - 2 - 4
Prod3 - Supp1 - 1 - 2 - 4
So if on my form I selected supplier Supp1 it would automatically fill in order detail for Prod1 & Prod 3 for 2 & 3 units respectively.
Now I'm pretty sure i could do this as a report as the formulas are relatively simple, however i want to pull the data on a form so it creates an actual order with order id etc.
Is there a way i can do this?
Any help would be appreciated, cheers
Hello people.
Im just after a bit of advice please??
I have created an audit trail for data held on a form so that when a field is changed it adds a line of text to a memo field with the date of the change and the old and new field values. The problem I have is that each time something is changed the line of text is added beneath the existing text in the memo field. This means that for users to view the most recent change they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the memo field. Is there a "Quick" way of me having the most recent entry first.
I am using the vbnewline command when adding the text. A sample is shown below:
Dim Response As Integer
Dim AnotherItem As Integer
Dim sqlstr As String
Set Myform = Forms![DataDetail]
Producer = Forms![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers].Column(1)
Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to add a Producer?", vbYesNo, "Data Dictionary v1.0")
sqlstr = "INSERT INTO DataProducers ( Data_Id, Producer_Id ) SELECT Data.Data_Id, Producers.Producer_Id FROM Data, Producers WHERE (((Data.Data_Id)=[Forms]![DataDetail]![Data_ID]) AND ((Producers.Producer_Id)=[Forms]![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers]));"
If Response = 6 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL sqlstr
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "Changes made on " & Now & ""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "The Producer '" & Producer & "' was added to this data item"""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "-----------------------------------------------------"
MsgBox "Producer has been successfully added.", vbInformation, "Data Dictionary v1.0"
Thanks folks...
Hello,
This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).
I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer.
So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person.
As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending!
Can enybody help me?
Thanx,
Attila
I have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
Hi,
I have a Form which contains a datasheet and I have some code which allows users to custom sort this datasheet. Another table based on this datasheet is then exported as a csv file.
However, the data is obviously not exported in the same order as the datasheet and it is quite critical for the application to be a sucess that it is exported in the custom order chosen by the user.
I have done some re-search, searching groups, forums etc and found the solution of having a 'sort column' in the table the datasheet relates to, I can then use this in the query that exports the data. My only problem with this is I had to manually fill in this sort column in the datasheet, once I had decided upon my final sort order. Is there anyway to fill this column automatically based on a row's position in a datasheet?
Many thanks in advance
Hi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.
The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields.
-Unit part number
-Diameter of wheel 1
-Diameter of wheel 2
-Diameter of wheel 3
-Diameter of wheel 4
-Diameter of wheel 5
-Diameter of wheel 6
-Diameter of wheel 7
-Diameter of wheel 8
So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields:
- Diameter >530
- 530> Diameter >540
- 540> Diameter >550
- 550> Diameter >560
- 560> Diameter >570
- 570> Diameter >580
- 580> Diameter >590
- 590> Diameter >600
Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?
Many thanks!!!
I have a report that generates the position of certain items. When I produce this report it doesn't put the data in order. All associated data with that position is correct, it is just not in numerical order. The attached screenshot shows the issue I am having. In the position column it should read 1,2,3,4 but in some cases the positions are not in order.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I used this way to export data to Excel worksheets, and do some formatting on the Excel sheet
Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objXL.Application.Workbooks.Add
Set objActiveWkb = objXL.Application.ActiveWorkBook
................
It works fine. I have a question.
When I run the function, suppose it takes 15 mins to export data because there are many records and calculations. During the 15 mins, if the user open the Excel file, it will break the process of export data to Excel from MS Access. So, how can I prevent the user break the process/prevent the user to open Excel worksheet?
Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Access table with transactions that were entered in random order. I need to recreate the table with those transactions entered in date order. I started by making a copy of the table (table structure only) then creating an Append Query sorted by the date field thinking that the records would be appended in the order created by the query. It did not work as I wanted. My next technique was to use VBA code to open a recordset that was created with the following SQL statement:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY datefield" & ";"
Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
The compile hung up, apparently not liking something about the SQL statement. I have done these things many times before during the last 15 years of using Access. I am about to shoot my computer.
what I am doing wrong?
I'm taking my first database class and I'm working on a hospital project in which I need to determine which pair (one doctor and one nurse) has a decremental performance as weeks go on.
I have an "r" and "s" queries.
These are the fields:
r: [DOCID,NURSEID, WEEK, RESULT]
s: [WEEK, RESULT]
I would like to find what pair had a "Good" result in week 1, "Average" in week 2, and "Bad" in week 3. My problem is that the results need to be in this specific order.
The professor told us to use a formula and I got the solution after building 6 queries that involved union, difference, and cartesian.

I am exporting a table to a text file using a specification. Comma Delimited, no text qualifier. Now, I don't know if this makes a difference but the file is decent size (over 1000 records). The data within each record is exporting fine (about 78 fields) however, I have what is a major problem.
About a third of the way in the exported file are 70 records that have exported 60-70 records too early. Those 70 records are in order themselves but they just somehow jumped the gun(if that makes sense). This is a big problem because this file is going to be uploaded to the mainframe.
Just as an FYI the only VBA I have in my whole database is one pop-up message box. Everything else is run with macros. This one table does not have any primary keys since this is the table the information is oringally imported into and is moved from here. What I want is the information to look like it is in the table.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it. I'm going nuts and so is my mainframe programmer trying to figure out how we're going to get around this.
Thank you!

Hi,
I am new, as you can see this is my first post. I have been reading different posts, but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Actually, I have created a table and around five forms, now each form is connected with that table. I can input the information through those forms into the table, now the only problem is this I want to transfer the information into differnt forms using the combo drop down menu, when the selection will be made it will transfer the information into the other or it will freez it into that form.
for e.g. I have made new, active, deal etc forms, I have made a drop down menu using combo which has these options in it as these are not only the forms name they are processes too. As the new deal comes in, it will be kept into new process for 30 days, after 30 days it should be moved to deal forms automatically, how would that be possible. And I want that to be frozen in that form. Other question is, how is it possible to hide the table from users, that they wont be able to make changes into table. Third question, once the info is inputed into the form no user should be able to delete that or overwrite it. And my last question is in regards to security, how is it possible to keep one user login into the database at one time, so no other user can login into that database or make changes.
I would really appreciate your help.
I hope I haven't conufused you guys.
Thanks
Hi,
Suppose I have a recordset as follows:
Order No. Item Qty

002 a 5
Can I export the recordset to excel on seperate worksheet (same workbook) by different order no?
I mean Order No. 001 in one worksheet and Order No. 002 in another worksheet.
Thanks!

I have 2 gig of order data which has duplicates due to different invoice dates. How can I combine the dates into one cell so I only had one row of Order data.
i.e. order number, price, order date, invoice date
same order number, same price, same order date, different invoice date.
How do I combine the second line with the first so that I only have the data once.
