"FOLLOW UP" Requirement
Feb 8, 2007
Hi There,
I have built a fairly basic DB to record incoming sales enquiries to our business. When we contact some of those enquiries later we are often asked to call back in 2 months time or 3 months time etc. There is a form within the DB were we can enter the outcome of conversations with the people making the enquiry.
What I want to know is there anything that I can do in Access that in 2 or 3 months time will remind me to call these people?????
The only date within the DB is the date of the incoming enquiry and the date when the brochure is sent to the enquiry.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Best Regards
Keith :rolleyes:

I am sure this is very simple, but I'm not sure what it is that I'm looking for. As always I've spent time searching, but I don't really know what I'm searching for at the moment.
What it is I'm looking to do is to have a list of all the clients in the database, and then have the total number of hours charged next to them. While I could easily making a report listing all of the hours they have been charged for, and have a total of them at the bottom, I'm unsure of how to achieve this without a list.
I am assuming that there is a way to do this in a query. I looked into using a SUM function, but this seemed to be different from what I want. I am not looking for somebody to tell me what to do, but just to say what it is I'm looking for, I might even need to do it on the report.
Thanks for any pointers :)

Hi, I am trying to open an access database written in the early 90's in Access V 1 or 2.
Please can anyone supply / sell me a copy of access as I need to open this urgently ?
Can I buy it from a website as I am not the best when it comes to computers ?
Many thanks

I have 2 cascading combo boxes on Form1. After I select one things out of dropdown0 and then select another thing out of dropdown2, I click on a button that opens another form - Form2- depending on values selected from both of those comobo boxes. That works good. What happens is when I come back to Form1 and select something out of dropdown0, but nothing out of dropdown2, it lets me proceed to opening Form2 and it keeps the value from dropdown2 from previous time.
What I need is to make Selection out of the second drop down mandatory. Right now I have a little msgbox in the After-Update event on dropdown0, but that's not enough.
Any ideas how I can make it so it doesn't let you proceed to Form2 if dropwdown2 is null?
Thanks.

Hello All,
Beginner level question!
I am working on a schema that might need outer joins for some of the queries and thereby reports I will need to produce. So, I wanted to get an idea from the pros about the following strategy:
How about leaving all the joins in the Relationships to begin with as Inner Join and change them to Outer Join as required (for a given Query. I believe this is possible)? What are the pros and cons of this approach.
Thank you

What steps do you(s) follow or recommend to creating tables? Any standard questions? I was reading Erwin, data modeling book and didn't see a stardard check list of things to ask.
I think I need to set the following up in a db, (currently in an excel spreadsheet - has a lot of Redundancy in it) type of inspection checksheet, by machine (20 machines) and shifts (3) There are 20 or so questions that need to be filled in, (yes/no and numbers). any thoughts?

The fields on my form are not in the same order as in the table. When putting new data in the form and moving from field to field by TAB key, the cursor would jump from the field to field in the order of fields in the table. How do I change it so the cursor moves from field to field in the forms format.
Thanks in advance,
John

I have put together a VBA sub to run Outlook.Application to send a report to selected email addresses. A Table's records contain an email addresses as well as category for grouping purposes.
I use a "Create Table Query" to extract the selected email addresses from the table into a temporary table called "ETransferAddress" then "Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("ETransferAddress")" then concatenate the email addresses separated with commas.
This works fine for small groups, but the service provider blocks them if the number of email addresses go into the hundreds.
What I need is to break the email addresses into sub groups and then create a series of emails all with the same Report, Subject and Content.
One way might be to create a series of loops to create a number of smaller tables but to string that lot together to achieve it is beyond me at present.
Here is my code to date"
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Create a table with selected addresses
[Code] .....

Greetings,
I am just posting a follow-up on my previous post on designing functional forms. Telling by the lack of replies, my original question may have been long winded and tedious. Let me try to narrow my question and make it more concise.
In two tables connected by a one-one field name ProfileID, how can I set a new field in the second table (call it StepNo or procedureNo) so that it increments step numbers for each unique ProfileID record? Thus for each new Profile record created in the first table, a new form will allow the entry of X numbers of steps into the second table and automatically link the two records?
I hope that clarifies my problem. Thanks in advance.

thanx for the advice...that does make more sense. my only other issue is adding the letter (m for meter permit, h for hydrant, etc.) to the permit # if they are all going to be in one table. btw, sorry for the duplicate postings...just under a bit of stress @ work. i'll make a note of it.

Hi,
I'm wondering why my query is not working properly. All I'm just trying to do is to display all the years greater than or equal to 2000. But still, it displays the entire content of the colum from 1991 to present. How did this happen?...
is there something wrong with the way i set my criteria?
Criteria: >="2000"

I am a completely green when it comes to Access and MVB. I've surprised myself in creating the db and form.
My db is for troubleshooting outlet issues. I have a list of outlets and their various configurations. Users NEVER add or change any info. They select the outlet from a combo box and view the information. The problem is that you can move the wheel and change the outlet information being displayed but the combo box does not reflect the change; it continues to show the initially selected outlet name.
How do you get the combo box text to follow the mouse wheel?
I thought an easier solution would be to disable the mouse wheel, but in looking through this forum, apparently not.
I am using Access2000 on an XP machine. . .

I have a table called Client Info which stores the clients name and their requirements (Gas safe etc). And I have a table "Job List" where i select from a drop down menu the clients and it auto fills all the requirement check boxes based on what is stored in the Client Info table. However I can't get the code to work.
Private Sub Client_Click()
[job_list].[Gas_Safe].Value = [client_info].[Gas_Safe].Value
End Sub

I am trying to create some code for a button in a report that will follow a hyperlink to a specific file. The problem I'm having is that the files that are at the end of the hyperlink can have various extensions (*.doc, *.docx, *.pdf, etc.) I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the code to allow the opening of the file regardless of the extension.
Code so far:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink ("C:UsersjbeggDocumentsAccessTestFolder" & [FileName] & ".*")
End Sub

Is it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
