Is there any way that I can import a text file and split the data into three columns without having to go through 65000 lines of text.
It is basically a print off of a directory structure. I have a very large text file that lists the files in folders for each of hundreds of users. I need to divide the information up into three columns so that the below data:
If any of you guys have any spare time on your hands would you mind having a look at this mess and tel me where I have gone wrong.http://www.geocities.com/andrewnorthwales/Andrews_database.mdb andrewnorthwales/Andrews_database.mdb mm this board is messing with my url if it puts us.share just change it to www. dont know why my url is not working on hereIm trying toProduce a list of available vehicles and drivers for a given input dateSearch for an availability that satisfies a prospective customer’s criteria (specific vehicle for a specific date)its my first ever database and I cant get the begger working right.it must be relationships or something, but I cant see where I ahve gne wrong.its just a fictional Weding car hire firm and I create records/orders for fictional customers.but its melting my brain __gloop...:confused:
Poor old Access. I think I've made it wave a white flag, but based on the following expression I am trying to get it to evaluate, I'm not too surprised...
The situation is that I have a large number of tick boxes on a form, which nicely filter through to a series of fields in a table whose values are either -1 or 0 (according to if the box is ticked or not). Unfortunately, I now need to generate a small piece of text for a report based on which boxes have been ticked. Deep breath...
The logic seemed to work nicely when there were just 3 options in the list, but when I try to enter the above, Access says "the expression you entered is too complex". Poor baby! :D
Does any one have any idea how I can get it to evaluate the data I need?
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am in the process of designing a database (Access 2002, office xp), but the problem I am having is that when I am pulling in an ID number, from one form into another form, the form I want this number to land in crashes, with the warning that more than one user is trying to access the form at the same time (they are not, just me).
After having to clear this error box (a few times, it keeps reapearing) errors then appear in each of the destination forms fields. :eek:
I think it is something to do with the way the database is setup in multiuser envirionments and retry intervals etc - and I have been playing about with the values, which seems to work once, but then it goes straight back to crashing. :confused:
If anybody give me some default values that might work :o or any other remedies for this problem, this help would be very much appreciated :)
Many will look at this and laugh but its real. My Access Dbs are opened in hidden state and i dont see my forms. This must be the cause. I tried to hide the menubars using ghudsons code,i disabled the shift key. But i dont know what has happened.
I can nolonger view them. I have tried every method out and i think the only option is to repair OS, may be it will work.
I have enabled the database which i disabled the shift key but when i hold down the shift key, it loads but the forms are totally hidden, STRANGE! ijust see the grey access background and when i click on it twice from the task bar.It pops up.
I have tried to make another database, use the autoexec macro to call a form which enables all command bars, but this works only for this database and when i press the shift key down, this database hides the toolbars and i only see the grey access background. This is happening on EVERY DB ive developed on this machine. I thought it was the access that is totally corrupted but i tried to reinstall my office and i still get the same results This is now a NIGHTMARE to me.
When db is shifted to another machine it works fine as before. This is REAL but can i get some suggestions from you folks before i repair my OS.
I'm using flash mx and MDM zinc which i assume connects using the JET rather than ADO database engine.
For the life of me cannot get a simple update to work due to the dates involved, lost count how many hours have gone by trying!!!
Within access I can easily switch quotes and hash symbols and all SQL THREE SQL queries work without problems on my database i.e.
UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = 20 WHERE UserName ='Robbie' AND Quizdate= '19/2/2008 12:15'
UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = 20 WHERE UserName ='Robbie' AND Quizdate= "19/2/2008 12:15"
UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = 20 WHERE UserName ='Robbie' AND Quizdate= #19/2/2008 12:15#
Within the database the fields are defined as :- Results (Integer) Username (Text) and QuizDate (Date/Time) within MS ACCESS DB schema.
in Flash MX TextDate param is a STRING and All parmaters are populated appropriately (see this later in error message).
Example of existing date data stored in database in format "19/02/2008 16:48:11" as a DATE/TIME field.
My code within in flash is :-
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " + UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = '" +textDate + "' "); I've tried with and without Hashes still no joy ..
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " + UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = Format( '"+ textDate +"', "#yyyy\-mm\-dd hh:nn:ss#")"); The error message I get from the code above is ..
SQL Query has failed for the following reason: Data type mismatch in criteria expression SQL statement: UPDATE UserResultsOverall SET Results = 30 WHERE UserName = 'd' AND QuizDate = Format('19/2/2008 19:4:35' ,"#yyyy-mm-dd hhnss#")
My text string removes the leading zeros not sure if that would cause an issue or not (its doesnt in MS ACCESS running query) ...
Anyone have any ideas??? Losing my mind here !!
PS I had problems using '&' instead of '+' to concatenate fields.
Hello, im having a real problem running a certain query in access. My database is used to monitor drain spillages, and the query im trying to build needed to look down a column and show descrite water spills. A descrite spill is when water spills for a bit then stops. I need to show how many times this happens in a column.
The complexity of the problem (comparing one value in a column to other values in that column) coupled with the size of the dataset (600K+ rows) just baffles everything I throw at it.
I had two stabs at it. One involved a recordset - looping through and updating a new field. Recordsets can cause database bloat - in this case it bloated the db to 2GB (Accesses maximum size causing the code to crash) - this is something I've never managed before. The other involved a function that left access frozen.
I was really stuck on this until a crazy idea came to mind, i want to know if this would work.
This might sound stupid but how about some crazy thing like adding a new column and numbering the fields, then adding some kind of query that says if the value is over 0.001 then add a 1, if not leave blank. Then have something like if the column has a 1 in it then check the next, if this one has a 1 in it then repeat this step, if not then this is 1 spill. Store the amount it starts and stops to a variable and just use that number as the Number of descrite spills.
Im using MS Visual Web Developer with an Access Database, i am trying to enter a new row of data into a database via a select statment attached to a button_click event. the code i am using looks something like this.
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
that being said. when i click the button, NOTHING happens, no error and no insert!!!
I did test the connection to the Database and its fine, i can do an update and i can read the data that exists in the database i just cant insert a new row.
This is not the first time i have delt with INSERT statments but this has me at my whits end and any help would be great.
Hi I have created a monster I think and I am not sure how or why. I needed a query to tie together data from a range of tables and so it has about 20 constituent queries, each of which involves some calculation. The query isn't so horrendous SELECT tblApplications.lngApp, qryExpWkHomeHelp.WkHomeHelp, qryExpWkPrescrip.WkPrescrip, qryExpWkHosp.WkHosp, qryExpWkRent.WkRent, qryExpWkSup.WkSup, qryExpWkInt.WkInt, qryExpWkLife.WkLife, qryExpWkCouncil.WkCouncil, qryExpWkCar.WkCar, qryExpWkCar1.WkCar1, qryExpWkHp.WkHp, qryExpWkDep.WkDep, qryExpWkCont.WkCont, qryExpWkProp.WkProp, qryExpWkOther.WkOther, qryExpWkTel.WkTel, qryExpWkTv.WkTv, qryExpWkWater.WkWater, tblApplications.lngAppCon, tblApplications.bAppEleg, tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub FROM qryExpWkWater RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTv RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTel RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkOther RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkProp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkInt RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkLife RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCouncil RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkDep RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCont RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar1 RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkSup RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkRent RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkPrescrip RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHosp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHomeHelp RIGHT JOIN tblApplications ON qryExpWkHomeHelp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHosp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkPrescrip.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkRent.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkSup.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar1.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCont.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkDep.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCouncil.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkLife.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkInt.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkProp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkOther.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTel.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTv.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkWater.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp WHERE (((tblApplications.bAppEleg)=Yes) AND ((tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub) Is Null));
Well maybe it is pretty horrific! However it is taking nearly two minutes to load on a fast PC (3.4GHz Pentium 4 with 1Gb RAM) so put it on a basic desktop and it will die. I did wonder about fragmenting it into four queries and then putting one query at the top of the nest but reckon that's another layer and all the calculations need to be done. Basically the sub queries are calculating a weekly value based upon input and periodicity of payments - i.e. if quarterly then it divides the payment by 13. Any thoughts on how I could speed it up? Thanks in anticipation
When using the MS Works database the "Find" command makes a new table of all records that include the chosen words. The "Find" command on Access 2002 does not do this, nor does any filter command. Is there an easy way to do this in Access?
i have a data sheet form which I need some help with!! I have a lot of data that I need filtering.
The first filter is for day and the second is for time of day. I.e. i want to be able to click on a date (using the calender from MS datepicker) and have the datasheet return the records for that selected day.
But I would also like another field that can filter it down to a specific time of day. e.g. 27/06, 13:00 returning all the records for this specific time slot.
At the moment there is a filter for date AND time but I would like date AND/OR time.
Also I would like to have it setup so it automatically gets rid of data over 2 months old, is there a way to do that, if not automatically maybe with a macro/command button??
i have a form bounded to a table called street. this form has 2 bounded text boxes: country: lookup field to the country table city: luukup field to the city table
i want to do the following: when GetFocus on the city text box, i want to filter in thi stext box for all the cities that belong to this country (value in country text box) how?
Hey all I am having a problem with my form filter. I was wondering if you can just direct a filter from form 1 to form 3 without referencing form 2. I am thinking not cause I am having a problem getting the filter to work. Here is the code I have in my load form.
I have this database that list companies and what type of loan they have. I am having a hard time thinking of the right type of filter to use. I am looking to select multiply types of loans and have it filter out the companies that have that service. I was thinking of a list box or options but I am having trouble with the table. My question is how would you go about it? Thanks
hi hope someone can help. I'm making a form to select country/state/city for members i made a table with 3 columns country,state,city
i wrote down the states for 2 countries (the ones i'm gonna use) the city is left blank (since i don't want to write down all the cities just yet)
i'm looking to do:
When i try to display the Country as a drop down using a query that selects the column for country, i get a list of the same country the amount of times it is in the table for each state. I only want to see each country once. even though in the table it is written several times.
I'm creating a database for agents to use at work. Because they will all be using it at the same time, I need to create a combo box on the form that will filter the contents to only show those with their name in them. Is this possible?
I am new here and was wondering if anyone has ever had the following happen:
When you 'Filter by Selection' in a table for NULL values the number of records shown are less than the actual number of records with NULL values. For example, I tried this with a particular tables looking for NULLL records in a particular field and while I could clearly see that the number of NULL values was x, the number returned upon filtering on NULL in that field was less than x.
Any idea? Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
Hello Everyone. I'm not all that new to access however my problem does exceed my experience and I'm hopeing someone out there maybe able to help me.
A while back I began to build a database to keep track of post production activites such as what items were being produced on a perticular production line. Its my job to book all these items in according to date, line, item, order and qty.
This was all good and simple until it was decided that I had to assign a category to each item. Their are multiple models to one perticular category and to make things even more difficult the same item could be produced on more than one production line.
I work within a Pool company where their are 7 production lines, each with their own purpose and facilites of making certain products until you come to other products that could be produced on any of 3 or more lines.
So, I made a table 'Category' which lists the different types/acronyms for products and the lines in which it could be produced on. I than created a new column within my Post Production table called 'category' and chose to use a drop box so I may select which category to assign the item. The drop box shows both columns 'Catefory','Line'.
The problem I have is that theres 40+ rows within the Category drop box and because the same name of the category may appear more than once simply beginning to type in the category name isn't good enough.
Is there a way to filter out which categories is listed within the drop box according to which line it maybe coming off once I've already selected which line within the same row?
I've tried selecting a relationship and createing a query both failed.
i have about 14 fields that relate to subjects, basically i want to be able to run a query that searches for all the people who have choosen the module and report bak who they are..
now i know i can do this 14 times over but is there a way that the user can choose the subject first and the query will then run hence meaning only one query/report.. i thought of using a list/combo box but have absolutely no idea...
im very much a novice but any help would be most apreciated!
So I have a lot of data that sometimes needs filtering by Date, or Date and Time. Is it possible to have a drop down box to display everything for a specific date, and then another combo box to filter even further for specific time slots.
I have a query filtering question. Please note attach pic for further details. I am trying to put together a search in a form to seach for a certain color or color series from a Qery from two two different sources (from a Combo Box and from a Text Box). I am not sure how to set this up in the query.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I've created a database to keep track of all our Microsoft licences for the company. Just to make sure we're fully licenced, to allocate where needed, and to help reallocate when we replace a pc.
I have 2 tables, 1 hardware (listing PC ID,location etc.) and 1 software (listing software type, software licences, and to which PC ID allocated).
What i'm trying to do is filter the pc's missing either an Office licence or a Windows licence or both, so i can base a report on the results.
How would I about filtering out all results that contain a letter in them? The entries are in a field called Code, and I only want to display the resources that don't have a letter in the code.
