Hey there
there is a function that I wanted to do on my form but can't think of a way
what I want to do is to show up a flag after 14 days and 28 days of a date with missed appointment being ticked
say there are two fields in the section
AppointmentDate
Missed
Will I be able to do this in access?
Please advice
Cheers

Sorry, I tried searching the forums with no luck.
What I need to do is.
I have a table with a field called intervention day, the user then types in that field a date, pretty simple huh.
Well anyway I need the system to some how alert the user when that date comes, either through an information box or whatever.
thanks for any help,

I need a flag(indicator) for my database. This flag would be read by many different functions and depending on the value of the flag, would do one of two things.
Example: If the flag is "A", when I click a button in a form it does "C" function. If the flag is "B", then in case of the previous button it will do "D" function.
What I'm having a hard time with is where to store said flag. Mind you the flag is either one or the other ("A" or "B") for the entire database, not just a specific record(s). I thought about adding a field to my 'master' table and then use an update query to change all the values from "A" to "B" as needed, but that seemed a bit like storing redundant data.
How or where should I store this flag?
hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to flag dates in access. I have 2 dates entered and I need a flag to appear if the second date is a month longer than the first date entered. Hope this makes sense and hope you can help
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, just so you are aware, I am totally clueless when it comes to Microsoft Access. I tried finding tutorials and help online that I could use to do this but I'm having trouble understanding what I'm supposed to do. I have two huge tables linked to each other by an ID number. One table contains multiple records with the same ID number while the other does not. There are records in the first table that don't appear in the second one, and there MAY be entries in the second table that don't appear in the first table. The second table has a flag that I would like to add to records in the first table that appear in the second table. What is the easiestt way to do this? This may be an extremely stupid question or it may be very hard, I'm not sure which, though I'm leaning toward it being a stupid question. Thank you in advance for your help.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI print a certificate for each person attending my class by sending the form (StudentForm) to a report . To save time I print and sign certificates for all preregistered students then during class I enter all students that enroll the day of class. What I would like to do is flag each preprinted record so when I select the print button after all students are entered into the database all certificates except the preprinted records will be printed. Any ideas on how to flag a printed record?

I'm generating a building report which should show a list of charts on that building, but it also shows it on old locations. So in the example, it shows for building 43 and building 83. I just need it to show on 83, how to accomplish this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I'm aware of the wizard in MS Access that creates a new table containing duplicated entries that have been entered under one column, however, my problem is slightly more complex...
A contractor of mine has recorded information from CCTV surveys of sewers (not very glamorous I know!) in a Microsoft Access database. If you can imagine - the camera can be pushed along a pipe from both ends. Sometimes, the survey is abandoned in one direction and then repeated along the same length of pipe but from the other direction. The database contains (amongst other columns) a "start manhole" reference and a "end manhole" reference.
eg:
16014
As you can see, the information contained by both entries will be the same (as they are the same length of pipe). Therefore, I was wondering how I could get MS Access to:
1. Recognise these 2 entries as duplicates
2. Create a table that hides the duplicated entry with a shorter "SectionLength" value.
Many thanks in advance.
I need to build a Query that will look at a previous table and a new table and flag any changes...what is the best way to go about something like this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a knowledge base database which lets the user search for articles containing answers to common problems and issues. Some of the users want to be able to bookmark certain useful articles. The DB is a front end/back end design so I am thinking if I have one table stored in the front end which can be used to store that particular user's favourites then that would be great. However, I a little stuck on how to implement this. Ideally, I'd like a simple checkbox option next to each article, which when ticked, would store that article ID in that user's local front end.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.
How to implement the procedure of clicking on the flag and hide the field in VBA? I know that want to assign - ColumnWidth=0.
Сomplete procedure fails.
I have a stock-type record and a stock-item record.
I want to update a flag on the stock-type record called instock to be true if there are related stock-item records and false if there are no related records.
Does anyone know how to run a updating query that will do this?
I am fairly new to this so I'm sorry if this is a bit of a basic question.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Another question on how might be the best way to do things with dates ?
I have a simple database which is a fault database.
I get an email request to investigate something and I log it and give it a ticket number. If I email back , I put the comments that I sent in the email in the update field on the database.
When I create the ticket its in an open state with a date and time stamp of now()
When I close (drop down box with open and close as options) the ticket it automatically updates the time in the closed filed to Now()
What I want to do is when I updated my comments field , this sets a date value in a hidden field on the form of Now()
So then I need an expression that looks at the difference between the updated time and the now time
i.e. I update a call on 29/7/2006 at 10:00 am
Its now 30/7/2006 at 10:01
i.e 24hrs and 1 minute later
As its more than 24hrs this flags and output to a filed e.g. 1
I then total all the "1" and therefore I have a ticket count of how many calls have not been updated in 24hrs.
So Im assuming I will need an after update event on my comments field put today's date in this hidden field ,and then maybe some sort of code which is maybe on my switchboard which looks at the difference of these dates and if greater than (or equal too) 24hrs it will output a value of 1.
And If I can do this I can also have a flag if its more than 2 days , then clear the 24hr flag an increment a 24hr flag etc.
My tickets should all be closed with 24 hrs , so this is something to capture anything that is open and hasn't been updated in 24hrs
Id appreciate some guidance on the best way to do this ?
Cheers

I have a table with numerous fields including timeIn and timeOut field (these are date/time format). I need to find out how many people were clocked in during each operating hour (based upon their time in and time out). How can I run a query that will allow me to use the times in and out to 'flag' each hour that each person was on duty (a new field for each hour) so that I can run a count on the completed data for every hour?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to automate a membership status flag based on comparing today's date and a recorded expiry date. The expiry date control is on a sub-form. I have the following code in the OnLoad event of the master form:
Dim DateGap As Integer
While Me.CurrentRecord < Me.Recordset.RecordCount
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
DateGap = DateDiff("y", Date, Forms!PersonalMasterF!MemberSubF.Form.MemberExpire )
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext

With debug pointing to the DateGap = statement I get the error 'Invalid use of Null'. As you can see, I've tried to trap any new records it might run into to avoid nulls in MemberExpire, and there are no null values in the MemberExpire field of the underlying table. I've also tried defining DateGap as Variant, which does not work at all.
i recently installed MS Office 2003, and now everytime i am opening an access database, i am getting a security warning asking me if i would like to block unsafe expressions. From the help i read that in order to get rid of this security warning, i should install the Microsoft Jet 4.0 (SP8). After i download it from the Microsoft Website, when i am trying to install the exe file, i am getting a message, that my system already has a newer service pack installed and i do not need to install it. However, since i do still get this message about safe expressions, is there any other alternatives how can i get rid of it ?
Thank You
I need to be able to cause a warning box to appear when records for high risk clients are viewed. When a risk assessment is carried out I need to show the result as being either High, Medium or Low on the Client Form. If the result is high I want every worker accessing the record to be in no doubt as to what they need to do if a visit to the individual is being made. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know how to suppress the folowing warning:
(I don't have admin rights so my solution will have to be done within Access :rolleyes: )
ok, i'm probably gonna confuse a few ppl here, lol :rolleyes:
i keep getting a warning message when i try to open winamp from within access, is there any way i can stop this warning message from appearing?
any help would be most appreciated
Well, problem I should know how to solve! Or at least be able to find in the "search" But...... niether..... So this should be a simple one...
Have a form with a ClientID combo.... If this record is changed I want a warning message before... So I decided to do it as a function then call it on change...
Private Function ChangeClient()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Response, MyString
Dim Cancel As Integer
Msg = "You are about to change the Client for this Project!" & Chr(13) & "Do you want to continue ?"
Style = vbYesNo + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2
Title = "WARNING"
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
If Response = vbYes Then
MyString = "Yes"
ElseIf Response = vbNo Then
MyString = "No"
Cancel = True
Undo
End If
End Function
Now the problem is.... What event to call this on!?!?
It works fine on several events on a current record...
BUT... when it is a new record, and you pick the client from the dropdown, it sees a change and runs the function. That clear?
I was thinking of running a "If ... Then" statement so if it a new record the function will not be called.
Got to be an easier way to simply warn of a field change!
Ideas???
Thanks
This should be a simple one.... But can't seem to find the answer.... I have put a line of code on the open event of a seconadry form.... First form is "Clients" second form is "Contracts" If no the client has no contracts the code goes.....
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(DateOfSale) Or DateOfSale = " " Then
MsgBox "No Contract Exist"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
After the first message box I get a "Access" message box... "The OpenForm action was canceled" ....... Thats fine.... we know that... But we don't need to know that. How can I stop the second message box from opening? Or can I ?
can someone please modify the following code to add a warning message to an add button.................this add button allows to add details filled in a form...
Private Sub addrec_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tab_main ([username], [cost_centre], [number], [phone_model], [imei], [puk_code], [sim_no], [date_issued], [notes], [tariff], [call_int], [roam]) VALUES ('" & Me.username & "','" & Me.cost_centre & "','" & Me.number & "','" & Me.phone_model & "','" & Me.imei & "','" & Me.puk_code & "','" & Me.sim_no & "',#" & Me.date_issued & "#,'" & Me.notes & "','" & Me.tariff & "'," & Me.call_int & "," & Me.roam & ")"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
warning message such as Are you sure you would like to add USERNAME(whateva is inserted in the USERNAME FIELD)
thanks
I am running Access 2002 on Windows XP Pro and have been teaching myself this program. I have created a large contact database with one main table and associated forms for entering data as well as reports driven by queries. What I can't figure out is how can I get a warning message to appear if a user enters a possible duplicate individual into a form. For example, if someone is entering an individual into a form that is bound to the main table and the same last name belongs to an individual already in the table, it may or may not be a duplicate. I'd like to learn some way of immediately checking the potential duplicates and then deciding weather or not to continue with the entry. Thanks much, in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. Is there a way of programming the access database in such a way that it doen't shut the whole database if someone by accident, presses the cross sign which is right on the top right hand corner. I'd like it to ask the user if they really want to quit first. This way, all the unsaved work can be saved prior to the closing.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance
