Access Accounting Database Available?
Mar 14, 2008Recently I've been using QuickBooks, but I'm not very satisfied with it.
For one thing, it's got alot more features than what I'll probably ever be using. But, the main reason I don't really care for it is that there are things that it doesn't seem to be able to do "automatically", and with Access I think I would be able to add a new query and reports that would work as I want.
However, I'd hate to go through the steps of setting up an Access database if someone already had one that they'd be willing to share here. I've seen some topics here from 2006 and earlier, so I didn't want to go back and open them up again in case they were irrelevant at this time.
It just seems that Access would be a better way to go since it could be (somewhat) easily added to or modified as needs arose.

I have a text box in an ACCESS form that is blank. How should I format it so that zeros are visible until a digit is entered into that field? This column is for ovetime figures (e.g. 1.35 hours) that will be entered later.

Access 97: Using Dde To Format Excel Cells
Jul 1, 2005Hi All,
Yes ok DDE may well be dead but it works for me so why change it? Basically I wondered what the commands where to format Excell cells. For example if I stamp a cell with todays date:
DDEPoke intChan1, "R3C2", Left(Now(), 10)
How would I say shade that cell black, change the lettering to white or underline or bold that cell?
Any help most appreciated.

How To Run An Access Query And Show The Result In Excel?
May 13, 2005I am writing an Excel VBA code to connect to an Access db and execute an access query. After executing the query, I would like to display the result in the excel spreadsheet.
I was successfully able to make the connection to the access db using the following code:
Set db = OpenDatabase("file name", False, True, "MS Access;PWD=abcd")
However, I do not know what code to use to execute a query named "qrytest" on the Access db and show the result in this Excel file.
Can anyone teach me how to do this please?
P.S. I searched this forum for about 1/2 hour before posting this. Please excuse me if this was addressed anywhere before! Would appreciate a link, if it was.

Accounting DB
Oct 22, 2005OK... My DB has began after looking at a few examples and after browsing a book called "Building Accounting Systems
Using Access 2002" A good book....BUT... One MAJOR item left out! The General Ledger. I have made the tables and forms to hold Vendor info, Transaction info, Job info, and a few others. Also have my forms to record checks and deposits, and record the distribution to different GL Accounts. My problem now is "How to build the General Ledger" My final goal will be to have a report that is a "Trial Balance" Showing all GL accounts, balances, and resulting in a final figure of zero. Thus being in balance.
So the question is... What is the best way to aproach this? All the info for the general ledger (at the moment) is input thru the "Checks form" or the "Deposit form" (a third to come will be for adjusting entries to the GL itself)
What is the common method? Using positive and negative numbers? A field for Debit and a second for credit?
Looking for someone to point me in the right direction before I get too far into it.
The DB is attached.... Lots of work and coding still to do... Everything is in a pretty basic form.. But it gives you a good idea of where I'm going. Any suggestions would be of value.
Thanks

With a combobox I select the record to show.
What I want is that when I select a record, one of the fields, that in fact is a number but storred as string, is shown formatted like 12.123.123,00.
This textbox is not to be edited and is blocked. It will only show the data.
How can I do this?

Sep 7, 2005I'm looking for someone who knows a bit about this one... maybe done one before. I've started a DB for an accounting system, I've worked with MANY of these over the years, but from a user standpoint. Now I'm trying a shot at putting one together, just for a learning experience if nothing else. But I would like someone to take a look at the beginning structure of the DB and let me know if I am on the right track. Any input and suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Keep in mind there is ALOT not here yet... and some loose tables for future expansion. I didn't want to get too deep into it and find out I need to make a major change. I'll post the DB.
Thanks

Format Date To Show Month & Year Only
Oct 22, 2006I have a need to enter dates so that they always appear as the first of the month. These dates are used in vlookup functions in Excel and need to be constantly recorded as eg 1 Nov 06. Currently I have to rely on notes and training to make sure users only insert the date in this way.
What I would like to do is get them to enter Nov 06 only (without a day) and have that stored as 1 nov 06. I have searched for date formatting functions and nothing addresses this. Perhaps it is something that could be achieved using VB if it is possible to do it.
Thanks for the help.

Format Excel / Import
Apr 14, 2008Hey Guys,
I read several threads for suggestions, and most of them ask to import raw data into a temp table then append. But thought I see if this would be possible instead. The following codes imports all excel files in a folder, and extracts the date from the file name and puts that into a field in the table. And also moves the imported file to an archive folder after import.
Private Sub btnImport_Click()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename
Dim strFileList() As String 'File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'File Number
Dim path As String
Dim TheDate As Date
Dim fs
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
path = "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData" ' Path that stores Historical Report Downloaded files.
'Loop through the folder & build file list
strFile = Dir(path & "*.xls")
While strFile <> ""
'add files to the list
intFile = intFile + 1
ReDim Preserve strFileList(1 To intFile)
strFileList(intFile) = strFile
strFile = Dir()
Wend
'see if any files were found
If intFile = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If
'cycle through the list of files
For intFile = 1 To UBound(strFileList)
strFile = path & strFileList(intFile)
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tblAgentSummary", strFile, False
'Adds date to callDate field based on the date on file name.
TheDate = Mid(strFile, 54, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 56, 2) & "/" & _
Mid(strFile, 58, 4)
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblAgentSummary SET callDate =" & "'" & TheDate & "' where callDate is null"
'set directory to look for next text file
Next intFile
'Moves imported file to Archive folder
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.MoveFile "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopData*.xls", "C:UsersChinaboyDesktopArchives"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
Is it possible for me to open each excel file in thebackground in the folder, format it before or during the import process. What I need to do is first delete rows 1 and 2, delete column B, D, F, and I. Then move to the last row with data then delete that row along with the previous 2.
I found this code that I thought may help, but I am not sure how to work it in with my exsiting code. Any suggestion and idea will be greatfully appreciated.
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlwrkBk = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:Documents and Settings34036460 Project Files140 Excel AutomationXOR27NovB.xls")
Set xlSheet = xlwrkBk.Worksheets("OpenExchangeOrders27Nov")
xlSheet.Rows(1).Delete
xlwrkBk.Save
xlwrkBk.Close
Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlwrkBk = Nothing
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing
MsgBox "Done"

Calculated Field Based On Accounting Year
Feb 8, 2006Within a query i am trying to run historical pension values based on 3 fields from a table:
Value
Year
Period
Period: Is aligned with the accounting year April to March rather than Jan to Dec. So I cannot define Year as 2005 and period 1 to 12.
I am looking to define year as 2005/2006 and then calculated the sum of period 1 to 12.
Has anyone experienced this before and found a solution?
Thanks
Forms :: Accounting Program - Storing Calculated Value
Aug 5, 2013I am trying to create an accounting program on access and i got stuck on the final touches
I'll explain my situation in brief. I created two tables
/1 for the invoices (invoice number, client name, total)
/1 for the orders (order id, invoice number, subtotal)
And I made a relationship between those two and everything worked out well. I created a form/subform and put a text box in the subform to calculate the sum which worked correctly. And I exported the value of the sum to the main form and it's great.
The problem is that how can i make the Total field that belongs to the table invoice have a default value as same as the Expression (sum) so that the sum is stored with the invoice record.
i attached the picture in the attachments

Report Export To Excel With Format
Feb 29, 2012I have a beautiful report and when printed straight from access it has nice gridlines and even gridlines null fields (which I want). However when I export to excel all the fancy gridlines and bold fonts are lost. Is there a way I can get it to export to excel what I can print in access? I would like to be able to export to excel to add some extra rows before printing but not have to do all the formatting.
I've tried printing to word, same problem as excel. Tried printing a pdf and it looks exactly the same but I can't edit it to add the extra blank rows.
Tables :: Accounting For Missing Values In A Calculated Field
Mar 24, 2014I have a table that stores information for multiple behavioral surveys (numerical values). My goal is to add the proper fields that compose total scores value for each respective survey (do a summation of scores). Now, under design view for my table, I see that I can add a calculated field. When I create this calculated field, I can use the Expression Builder to do a sum of the proper fields (the fields that compose a total score for a survey). The only problem that I'm encountering is that if a field that is part of a survey is missing information, the summation disregards the rest of the values for that survey.
How can I account for these missing values so that, if 1 out of my 9 fields have information, I will still get a summation score for the 9 fields? I want to be able to do this without having to change the value of the missing field to 0.
In SPSS I can easily do this by computing a variable and using a code like this:
SUM.2(field1, field2, field3, etc.)
Import Wizard (Excel Correct Format)
Jan 26, 2007I am trying to import an Excel2002 file into Access2002 using the import wizard. There is a hidden worksheet named 'Data' with 5 ranges defined (Page1-5), one of which I am trying to import: I am getting the following error message –
“Import Spreadsheet Wizard -- The wizard is unable to access information in the file ‘D:xxxx.xls’. Please check that the file exists and is in the correct format.”
I have successfully imported other Excel files from the same folder, but using a different original file. The original Excel file giving me the trouble was created in 1999 but has been saved with Excel2002 version.
Can anyone tell me what causes the “correct format” error? I am confident it is something having to do with the Excel file. I've attached a zip file with the problem workbook.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Export To Excel Seems To Format Data Incorrectly
Aug 29, 2006I have a standard form with header, detail, and footer sections.
The detail section has a range of calculated boxes and the footer section also has a range of calculated control boxes.
There is a button on the form, which runs the following code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Divisions", acFormatXLS, "C: ester.xls", False
This works as far as exporting the Detail section of data. However, as soon as it trys to export the footer section, it just appends them onto the end of the rows.
For example, the report lists:
ABCD 10 20
DEFG 20 30
Totals 30 50
The excel spreadsheet after export lists
Controlbox name Controlbox name Controlbox name cbn cbn
ABCD 10 20 30 50
DEFG 20 30 30 50
Is there a way to:
(a) correct this in the export;
(b) format the spreadsheet;
(c) alternative, e.g. drag the data in from a sppreadsheet ?
