First of all there is a table called "tblParTeam" wich contain the teamname and ID of teams partissepating in a certain Tournament. The tournemant data is kept in the table tblTournament.
Each tournament contains a couple of variables: "Number of teams per tournament", "Number of Rounds" wich reside in the tblTournament.
Here is the thing. I also have a form based on the tblTournament. Each tournament had a number of partisipating teams (stored in the variable "Number of teams per tournament"). Then I have a table called tblTournamentDetail wich containt the Tournament_ID, TeamPro_ID (looks in the table "tblParTeam"), TeamContra (also looks in "tblParTeam").
When I pusch a button on my form, wich is based on the tblTournament, tblParTeams and tblTournamentDetail, I would like the X (Number) of particepating teams to be filled in randomly in the tblTournamentDetail.
Lets say I have 10 teams I want 5 to be filled in randomly in the TeamPro_ID and 5 in the TeamContra_ID.
How do I go about this?
I want to select at random 4 of these records and append them into another table along with some other data that the query will not pick up, in this case Pilot and Month.
I guess I am having to go the VBA route but dont have a clue on how to do it.
Cheers in anticipation.

INSERT INTO Assignments ( flightcode, aircraft, depart, destin, pilotcode, [Month] ) SELECT Schedule.Flightcode, Schedule.Aircraft, Schedule.Departure, Schedule.Destination, [pilot] AS Expr1, [MONTH] AS Expr2 FROM Schedule WHERE (((Schedule.Departure) Like "man*"));
I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach: 1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo) 2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
I'm trying to insert 10% of a dataset from dbo_billing into another table Random_Temp. Another form is open when this query is to be ran that passess in the billyear and billmonth... I'm sure it's a syntax issue as I can isolate the random number part and it displays the appropriate data, I just can't re-write it to insert into the other table:
INSERT INTO Random_Temp ( indx, peopleId, audited ) SELECT TOP 10 PERCENT b.indx, b.peopleId, b.audited FROM dbo_Billing AS b WHERE (((b.billYear)=[Forms]![billing]![billyear]) AND ((b.billMonth)=[Forms]![billing]![billmonth]) AND ((b.recertifying)=-1)) ORDER BY Rnd(-(1000*b.indx)*Time());
I'm having trouble with my VBA module.I have a random test generator which pulls records based on a category from my table into a temp table using a make table query. I use the following code:
Private Sub Command2_Click() DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.OpenQuery "1", acViewNormal, acEdit DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExam", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal Reports!WrittenExam.lblTitle.Caption = "Exam Name" DoCmd.OpenReport "WrittenExamAnswerSheet", acViewPreview, "", "", acNormal Reports!WrittenExamAnswerSheets.lblTitle.Caption = "Exam Name - Answer Sheet" End Sub
My querry makes the table, and then generates two reports (my exam, and the answer sheet). I'm getting an error 3211, saying the temp table is already in use by another process when trying to generate both reports. I used a Macro before, but I have a need for custom report headings, so I'm using VBA.
MAIN TABLE Job_No - Looks up Job table Source - I want this to be automatically filled from the record associated with the job number from the Job table Test_Result - Looks up Result table PASS/FAIL etc Technican - Looks up technican names table
I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID EntryDate Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table) Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
Is it possible to run a SQL command to update a field within a table with random numbers?
More specifically - random long integers linking back to an ID (autonumber) field in another table?
Background to this is, I have multiple static data tables related to each other by long integer identifiers (autonumbers)
The structure is fine but I haven't been provided with the actual data yet - but for development purposes, I need to work on other functionality which requires that this data be present.
So I want to fill my table with dummy data such that I can go off and work on the remaining functionality, but then just go back and clear it all out once I get the actual data.
I have one 'main' static table, which links back to other tables, which I have already populated with dummy static (i.e. company names, locations etc) Now I want to go into my main table and populate those fields in each record with a random ID. I don't mind doing this field-by-field (there's only a handful) but I've a lot of records in there (~1000) so I'd rather not do this record-by-record.
Ok Ive looked and looked and read a multitude of threads to no avail. Please help me on this one.
I have imported a table into Access, I had no control over the original format of the table so Im stuck with the data as it is in that original doc.
So as it sits now in access.. index mnem client name -------------------------------- 1 310055 blah foo 2 blah2 john 3 blah4 joe 4 310099 grr12 bob 5 blah2 john
etc. * about 50,000 literally in size.
Looking at the empty cells in the 'number' column I need each of those to be filled. to end up with: index mnem upin name ------------------------------- 1 310055 blah foo 2 310055 blah2 john 3 310055 blah4 joe 4 310099 grr12 bob 5 310099 blah2 john
I did this once in VB/excel but it was prohibitively slow. Im positive there is a better SQL/Access solution but just cant quite get it. My best effort to date is: DLookUp("[mnem]","upin","[index]=" & [index]-1) criteria mnem Is Null In an update query updating mnem.
Downside all I get is say there is a block of 4 empty spaces in a row before the next mnem comes along, only 1 cell will be filled per run of the query.
i.e. index mnem upin name ------------------------------- 1 310055 blah foo 2 310055 blah2 john 3 blah4 joe 4 310099 grr12 bob 5 310099 blah2 john
I figure #3 is somehow looking up at #2 before its updated and taking that empty value. ..just cant figure a way around it though.
I know this has been done before but no matter how much googling and forum diving Ive done I havent found something to specifically address this.
ok, here goes... sorry if this is really simple, i just can't figure out how to explain exactly what i'm trying to do...
first of all, i have a list box populated by a table, when i click my button, i want to create a record in the table (done). then i want to display the id for that record in a text box. this will allow me to update the record, which i have also worked out. i just can't seem to figure out how to display the id from the table. Thanks for your help *j
I have a VB6 form that I want to fill with data from a field in an Access DB. I get the connection and the first field, but want the whole column to show up as the combo box items so that one can be selected, then when saved, populate and/or update another Access table. Can anyone help me cause the whole column to display instead of only the first record? TIA--Ed
1 Master Input Table. 1 Job Lookup table - (contains Job Number and Name)
When in-putting job details into the Master Input table i would like to enter the job number only and have the job name appear automatically without running a query, much the same as a 'vLookup' command in excel.
Its been a long time since I did dB work - stopped back in the days of dBase IV.
Still, using Access 2007 is not that difficult - except right now. I have 2 tables; one with customer contacts, the other with project details. Heres what I want - hopefully someone can help:
Within the project table, select from a lookup into customer contacts a name, which then auto fills in the fields for phone and email in the project table. I want to do this in the table or form, but have the data deposited into the table for sure!
I would like to use several forms to build one record in a table.
Form 1 with ask for details about one aspect of the client such as personal details.
I will then need a next button and it will go to form 2, summarising what has been inputted and now asking for the next lot of details such as their requirements.
I am guessing I could have 2 separate tables for the details and link the 2 but I have inputted lots of data already and I want to use that table as the source.
The main bit I am concerned about is when I go to form 2, how will it know to relate to the client I put in form 1?
I have two separate tables (called inventory and job log) and they have a few of the same field items (number, name, style 1, style 2, and area).
I would like the job log table to autofill the name, style 1, style 2, and area when you type in the number when logging a new job (pulling this information from the inventory table)..
AUTO FILL-in - Of course, this is banal and simple - if you know how to do it. If you don't it seems impossible. Bizarre that on the whole internet so far I can't find a clear, simple example!
Table A is a list of lessons; table B a list of courses. They have various fields in common, such as "courseref", "course title", "room number", "teacher" etc
I want to enter the "courseref" in a form created for table A and fill in the other common fields in the same table (A) from table B, which is acting here as a lookup or reference table.
So, is it a combo box? What code goes where? Do I make a select query? How to link it to the key field and the associated fields. SELECTDISTINCT seems to come in somewhere, but NO SOURCE I can find explains it clearly to me (and I am not yet senile ....). Can any of you?
I have a Table with employees from different departments and I created another form for their daily attendance details.
What i want is - if a director from department x needs to fill in attendance for all his employees, he just select his department from a combo box and all the employees under department x will be listed below and he can update the daily attendance.
This is what i have done so far - I have added a code but here the director will need to select his employees one on one which can be a hassel if he has many employees under his department.
I used below event procedures on date change Me.TxtLastName.Value = Me.cboOperations.Column(1)
Assignment Info: Assignment ID (Primary Key) Assignment Number Criteria Number
Grades: ID (Primary Key) Student ID - Linked to [Student ID] Assignment ID Criteria Number Grade
What I would like to do is be able to link the tables in such a way that for each student entered in the Student Info table, entries are automatically entered into the grades table for each assignment criteria.
For example: Assignment 1 has criteria 1.1, 6.3, 7.2, Assignment 2 has 4.2, 3.3
When John Smith is entered in student info, the grades table is automatically updated with 5 new entries in the form:
John Smith - 1 - 1.1 - Enter Grade John Smith - 1 - 6.3 - Enter Grade John Smith - 1 - 7.2 - Enter Grade John Smith - 2 - 4.2 - Enter Grade John Smith - 2 - 3.3 - Enter Grade
That way I can have a form that automatically shows the possible criteria for each assignment on the sub form for each available student without having to type it in each time.
I have been away for Access for a long time and having issue with making a query. I have 3 tables. "tablEmployee" has employee ID, first name, last name and sizer ID. "tblproduct" has product ID, Description and rate. I made a new table called tbldata which has date, product code, product description, product rate,employee id, employee sizer id, and lbs. I want a query when I enter the product id in tbldata, query auto fill the product description and rate. also same as employee.
I have now a database where I made a query that will show me all clients I can charge when there is a end date and an account number mentioned. I have also in a table where I put if the client is already charged. This is a check box that gives me yes or no. Is it possible to run the query and once those selected show up, to also add a yes to the table so next time I run the query the ones charged will not be charged again.
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
My problem is I have two tables. One of the tables was made specifically to draw information from to populate the second table. The second table has a combo box that draws information from one of the fields from the first table. What I am hoping to do though is have each selection from the combo box in the second table to draw different information from another field in the first table and use that data to populate another field in the second table.
Simplified: Combo box in Field (1) on table two has multiple selections that I want to autofill the data in Field (2) on table two based upon the selection of the combo box. Data from both fields in table two would come from two different fields from table one.
I have tried to work with the After Update button in the After Events section on the ribbon at the top; however, I am simply lousy with coding. Is there an easier way to do it other than using that option?
In another Table containing additional company information, I have the primary key as the company ID, and I want to make the query that outputs the above table, auto-fill the blank fields in the existing Company information with the same headings as Data ABC etc.
However, I don't want the query to add full new records (which I think is the Append Query?), instead I want the existing company records have additional fields (Data ABC) added, with information from the Query added.
