I have done multiple searches with no luck- sorry to ask such a basic question, but I want to know the correct way of inserting a foreign key into a table.....I was told to Insert - Lookup field - in my main table - is that correct?
Thank you :confused:
Ladies and Gents
I am wondering if when i run my report is there anyway that the detail of the report can become objects that say i could drag and drop into a Word Doc for example. I am trying to create a tool that will allow me to see all jobs from our maintenance mangement system at work, i have managed to achieve this but i was wanting to be able to view the jobs on a report and then basically just drag them into something else and wahey i have built my plan for the week.
Maybe i am hoping for to much but i though i would ask anyway.

Evening folks :)
Been trying to find this on google for a while, but am not really sure about how to express my self in few words (being the norwegian that I am) so I turn to you for help! :)
Im having two tables which I want to join into one with a query.
I want to keep all data in table 1 and suplement it with info from table 2. Should be easy enough, at least thats what i thought. Cant get it to work here so if anybody can help me out i would be EXTREMELY grateful :)
Table 1:
artnr
description
minant
Table 2:
artnr
minant
Connected by artnr
Table 1 has approx 1500 lines and Table 2 has approx 2100. I want to keep all lines in table 1 and suplement that one with info from table 2, but I end up with a query with approx 1200 lines.
Table 1 does contain 'artnr' that Table 2 doesn't have and vica versa so I assume that the ay i do it I end up with the query only with the ones that has the same 'artnr' in both tables. Still my question is:
How can I keep all info in Table 1 and only suplement with info from Table 2?
hmm.. I agree, not the best way to put things, but it's the best a tired norwegian could do at the end of the day.. :)
All immediate help would be great!
right, deleted my last post.. think is is more down to the point!!!

I have a table listing all the horses (names, dob, value colour) but need to create a table to list what place the horses finish during the 6 annual races - I tried to create a table with (date, race name, place name, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) so I can type in which horse finishes where for each race and then AaRrGgHh cannot work out how to link it!
I know I probably need more tables but Its starting to annoy me.. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I have not used queries or Access for a few years. I have a query set up to search for a tag number which the user enters in. How do I incorporate the * function in with it? This is what i have tried:
SELECT * From Bags_Recieved WHERE Tag_No = *" & [Which Tag?] & "*
I am trying to get it so the user just has to enter in a few numbers in case they do not know the whole number.
Hi guys,
I have a bit of an embarrasing question, as I`m sure that this is so easy to solve, but its just beyond me...
I have searched but dont get exactly what I`m looking for, looked in all my books to no avail !!!!!
I have a form, which had many data in it.
I have a particualr feild "cust_ref" which is sorted A-Z (asscending)
How would I change this to Z-A (descending)
I have done all the changes in my tables, queries etc, but this doesnt effect the form..
I also have the same problem in one of my reports....
Im sure its really simple, but I think i`m over complicating the solution, and its now giving me a really bad headache.
Thanks guys.
ok a stupid question but i cant figur it out.
I have 2 subforms and 1 mainform
all i want is that subform1 comunicates with subform 2.
subform 1 had a listbox that is filled with a query. When i click a value in the listbox the othersubform must navigate to that record.
Here's a stupid question... how can u make a field in a form so that the text in it is allways in capitals, it's for adresses and i need the city and the zipcode to be in capitals, any ideas?
Thanks on forehand

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but here goes it. I'm working on a survey database. I want the end user to be able to be able to select a checkbox, if they use that service. Down the line I want to do some charting on the answers to the number of checkboxes selected. Is there anyway to change the default value to 0 and 1 verse 0 and -1
Any help would be greatly apprecidated
hi everyone, i'm new and almost clueless with all things asp, html and access. i know this is a bad start, but i'd really appreciate some help.
i'm doing a project with a group, we're constructing a website and i'm stuck with my part, a 'staff home page'.
basically what i'm stuck with is:
- writing the code to request the latest 5 orders from our database, and put these in a table.
- linking my drop down menus, which are in the same table, to change the status of each order
- linking my update button to the database in order to send this information from the drop down menus, and update customer orders.
apologies if i haven't worded that very well, or if the answers can already be found on the board. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
i use Ms Access 2000 (home)& 2002 (office)..
can i choose type of relationshp manually..
i mean i can change ony-to-many to many-to-many or some thing like that...
if it possible, how...
plz help me...
I'm currently trying to get a button working that will check the contents of a field for a value, and if nothing is selected I want it to prompt the user to select something. Here's my code:
Private Sub Command47_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmCustomerInf"
stLinkCriteria = "[CustomerID]=" & Me![CustomerID]
If [CustomerID] = "" Then
MsgBox "Please Select a Company Name", vbInformation, "Warning"
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End If
End Sub
For some reason I can't get this working, what am I doing wrong?
The error I'm getting when trying the button is Run-time error 3075: Syntax Error (Missing operator) in query expression '[CustomerID]='
Right.. I'm a complete noob @ access...
Ok.. I have a yes/no column in my table and I want to build a query on that table so it returns all the records with NO (unticked box).
How do I do that?
Any help appreciated :)
I've got 20 checkboxes which i need to do the same thing but individually.
If IsNull(DLookup("[question 1]", "qryQuestions")) Then
chkQuestion1.Visible = False
Else
chkQuestion1.Visible = True
End If
I tried this:
Dim loopy As Integer
Dim tmpquest As String
For loopy = 1 To 20
tmpquest = "question " & loopy
tmpCheck = "chkQuestion" & loopy
If IsNull(DLookup(tmpquest, "qryQuestions")) Then
tmpCheck.Visible = False
Else
tmpCheck.Visible = True
End If
Next loopy
tmpquest works.
tmpcheck doesn't.
I tried dimming tmpcheck as lots of things but no luck.
Any help?
New to Access and learning quickly, but some things just throw me.
I have a database that adds rows to a table as certain command buttons are selected. It frustrates some of the users because every time they click the button, a warning comes up, "You are about to append 1 row(s). Once you click "Yes".... and on and on.
What's the easiest way to remove this notification?
Ive got a form, that has inputs to a table, and it also has 2 subforms that link to another table, the subforms are different forms but they link to the same table, this is bacause I need to be able to enter two different items off the table that may be different items, the reason Ive used subforms is because there is the need to have the part number for the item, as well as the weight, this will be a growing list as the Dbase expands.
now I have the two subforms with a combobox for part number, and the weight field looks up because of the combo,
back on the main form I need a entry that adds up the 2 weight fields, and enters them on the main table that the main form writes data to, can someone help?
Ive been heatbutting my monitor for a week or two now, and my limited know how on Access is beginning to show :-)
Thanks.
I've searched these forums, but I haven't found anyone as clueless as I...
All I want to do is put something in the "Control Source" of an empty field in a form to create a date... Specifically, in the following format: MM/DD/YYYY
I know this has got to be easy, but I can't figure it out. I'm an idiot...And so is Mr. Clip-It.

Before I start I just want to say that I know forms are not well suited to printing etc... but I have this stupid issue that is driving me nutzo.
I have a form with a subform on it but for some reason on the main form and the subform insist on printing on seperate pages, i have checked the force new page setting for each section and there are no page breaks that i can see? Don't seem to be able to find references to this issue anywhere...
Losing my mind... :confused:
I saw that nobody read my first post so I figure I'll post my question here. I am trying to learn VB and am curious about how to make command buttons that will do the next/previous thing in VB and not using a macro. Any advice?

OK, i have what may be a fantastically stupid question. i did a search (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/search.php?searchid=1806902&pp=25&page=2) on this and didn't find anything that seemd to address it.
my issue: autonumber field, sole primary key. i am adapting a legacy (non-access) db into access. it was originally an autonumber field but during import, the data type was set to number and of course, i cannot convert it back now into autonumber.
i already duped the PK field as an autonumber and tried an update query to "correct" the autonumbering PK field as i believe is suggested here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=138484) but it won't permit me to do this.
b/c it's legacy data, i want to preserve the original values in the autonumber, but am unclear on what next steps might be available to me.
thoughts, anyone?

Hi all,
my question is what is a foreign key and how is it used ?
Hey all, i'm new here! I've spent hours upon hours trying to solve this problem, but it's got me nowhere, so I think it's time to ask for help! I'm not exactly an Access beginner (I generally know what i'm doing) but this has me stumped!
Ok, basically my DB has several tables.
Staff (main table)
Qualifications
Institutions
The problem is - i'm trying to set it up so the fields "qualificationName" and "institutionName" in the staff table extract the data from the fields with the same names in the qualifications/institutions tables.
I've tried linking the fields together as foreign keys, but when I go to set referential integrity, I get the error "No unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table"
staffID in each table is linked properly, but that's as far as it will let me go!
Any help would be really appreciated!
