Forms :: Attendance Table - Find Student ID Before Update
Apr 2, 2013
I have a table called Attendance were information about the Student and the class they are attending is collected.
Another table called Student, this hold information about the student. I am using a Form called Attendance to input my information. What I am trying to achieve is:
BeforeUpdate on a text box:
When you input Student_ID it looks at the Student Table to see if the Student ID is valid before the information is updated to the Attendance Table.
I’m a travelling music teacher. So my many pupils are split into many small groups (of 1, 2 or 3 pupils).
What I want is to open a form with lesson details. I’d select a date and then a group and then the details of the pupils in that group would come up (probably in a subform). I could then enter data for each pupil for each lesson e.g. whether they were absent.
I run an after-school youth program for high school students. My issue is an accurate way to track attendance of students. We have MS ACCESS 2010 on our computers at work.
On any given day we may see between 30 to 50 students, so this is a small operation - - and the reason I'm adverse to buying fancy "custom" software and hardware "systems". Because students come and go and vary over time, we may see 100 kids in a given week, but in the past 2 years of operation, we have had well over 250 students come through our program, with some returning at various times.
What I would like is to be able to
1) Make a simple ID card with student photos and a unique ID # that can be ...
2) Scanned by a simple barcode system.
2b) Actually two barcode swipes ... one swipe at the front door / main entrance, and a 2nd swipe by a hand held bar code in the various four classrooms to be sure the student is not only in the building, but also went to the correct class.
3) That the input of that information dumps into our ACCESS database so we can track student attendance, and ...
3b) provide reports out to school counselors / principals of the numerous highs schools that our students come from, to let them know which of their kids are actively attending our program.
My questions are ...
A. Can this be done with ACCESS?
B. Would it be better to do this with EXCEL?
C. If ACCESS can handle it, which types of bar code devices would be the best choice for us to purchase? (We would need a total of five barcode scanners. One at the front desk, and one in each of our four classrooms.)
The system would need to be expandable seeing that this could easily be doubled in terms of classrooms and students within the next year or so. We are currently just 2 years old.
I'm in the process of constructing a student database for my school which would track (in addition to detailed student information) the daily attendance of over 270 students.
It is my understanding that there is a limit of 255 field names per table, so I can't use the student names as field names, nor can I really use dates as this would not quite cover even a year.
Student ID and AttendanceDate as field names is also not really a feasible strategy, as each week this would eat up 1300+ rows, so I would run out of space in that direction as well.
My question is ultimately am I better off building this in excel 2010, or is there a way of doing this in access that I have overlooked?
I'm creating an attendance tracking system, the attendance system needs to : Allow an instructor to enroll students into one or more classes, and then add attendance by date to each class(es). The problem that I'm having is, attendance is tracked by the number of hours that a student attends class. For instance, if class1 is in session from 8a.m. - 12p.m. student1 may only stay 2.50 hours of that class and student2 may stay 3 hours. The teacher needs to be able to add attendance to class1 for July 12, 2013 and add hours for each student enrolled in this class session who attended on that day. I have the following so far, minus the attendance:
Students -This is just the basic demographic information that instructors will need to enter on students. StudentID (PK) StudentLastName StudentFirstName DateOfEnrollment LevelOfStudy DateOfBirth
Location - These are the locations in which our students can attend classes LocationID (PK) LocationName County City LocationPhoneNumber LocationFaxNumber
Classes - These are the classes that our students can attend. CRNNo (PK) ClassName LocationID InstructorID
Instructor - These are the instructors that teach our classes. InstructorID (PK) InstructorLastName InstructorFirstName InstructorEmailAddress
Enrollment - This table enrolls the student into a class StudentID(PK) CRNNo (PK) LocationID (PK)
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
I'm trying to create an attendance form for my school. I have an Attendance Form already that has the following information:
Student Name Date of Attendance Attendance Code
What I would like it to do is, automatically populate the date for all the students enrolled in the class. So if the Math class has 5 students, the form would automatically have all five students with March 28, 2006 and the next day have March 29, 2006 and so forth.
Any suggestions on how to go about achieving this task?
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1 WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
I Have a forms which brings up a record in textboxes when you hit a search Button using a value that you type into a Textbox called BarTxt. My problem is that this value may not be unique. Therefore I'm trying to find and update the table using 2 values from the table (Barcode and PurchaseOrder).I have entered the code
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click() PNTxt = DLookup("PartNumber", "BookInTable", "BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" And "PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] & "'") End Sub
This however is just bringing up a Type mismatch error. Even though both are text fields.Also even if I just use Barcode to search which works. My update Code
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET DateBookedOut = '" & Me!DateTxt & "' WHERE BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" AND PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] &
I get an Compile error saying "expected expression".
I am building a student register for a school for disabled children. There is a screen listing all students, one showing detailed student data chosen by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", one listing all the guardians, choosing a guardian by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", to diaplay Guardian details.
From the student list, I select and view student details, including a pointer to their guardian details. After selecting the first student details, and then viewing their guardian data, any subsequent student details and guardian details updates the prior guardian data with the next guardian's data.
How can I prevent the successive guardian details from updating the prior guardian table when it is exited? I view the guardian details using ADO recordsets populating a form. When I exit, it updates the previous record.
i'd like some initial help with how best to set-up my tables for a database i need to create. if anyone could give me a synopsis of what i need to do it would be great and then i can try and piece it together.
here are the requirements;
one student can attend many different courses.
each course runs for 10 weeks.
i'd like to be able to have forms to;
- add a student. - assign classes to a student. - record absence via a combo box for each student for each week
i'd also like to have a report mechanism that can record if a student is absent for 3 or more classes.
as i said, some pointers or examples would be great as i am new to this. i pressume i need;
a table for students studentid firstname lastname
a table for the courses courseid coursename
a table for attendance attendanceid courseid studentid present/absent (combobox) week
Am most stuck on the date part. the data may not be entered every week so i can't really use a date function. instead i need a combobox or something to be able to select the week.
I would like to build a database to keep track of tardies and absences in my dept (~70 employees).
I need Date, Name, tardy or absent,
My current table:
TblEmployees EmployeeID PK Last Name First Name Team
TblEvent EventID PK Event (Tardy or absent)
TblAttendance Date EmployeeID EventID
Is this a good structure? I need to be able to run a query that will sum the total number of tardies and divide by 6. That number will then be added to the total # of tardies. The query needs to only show the values over the last 6 months. Any help is appreciated.
I created a database to record lesson information (see attached sample). When there was only one student per record, everything worked fantastic.
However, management would like to have one record per lesson, which means that up to eight students would need to be accounted for.
Adding additional Student_IDs to the lesson record table and the associated links to the student table was simple. Inputting lesson information was pretty straightforward.
The problem arises with output. There is one report to review an individual student's past lessons. Also, there is a form in which to export the lesson's public comment.
Both use different queries, but with the same name as the form and report. Both the report and exported Excel file are blank, no data.
I'm building this in A2010, but saved as A2003 (working environment).
Relationships all work and reporting works. I now want to create a form for entering attendance into a single event as a batch. I only want to enter the event ID one time and then be able to enter participant ID's for all attendees. The event coordinator will have a tablet running the db at the door and each participant will use their ID card to be scanned into the event.
I don't want the coordinator to have to reselect the correct event between each participants scan but instead to enter the event once and have multiple participants ID's entered for the one event. The date field is defaulting to current date/time [Now()].
I tried to post this yesterday but it didn't go through for some reasons.
I've attached my database that contains student, classes, and couple other tables. I also created couples of forms and I wanted to register a single student to multiple classes at once.
For example: There're 3 classes (Math, English, History) on 1/3/2006. Student A wants to register 2 classes, Math and English. I should be able to check those two and submit and I'm done.
Currently, I have to select Math and assigns to student A, then select English. That's not good at all. What if there're 10 classes in one day and a student just want to register 8 classes? I have to do eight times.
It'd be great if you could help me. Thank you in advance. Isabel
I've got an attendance form set up with check boxes for each day I want to check attendance. I have two problems with this form.
1) All the boxes start out with little squares (I want them to be blank) 2) If I try checking a box for one person, it checks all the boxes in the column (same with unchecking).
I have a form, which registers attendance at an event, with three fields - ID (a combo box), Name, and Present.
When an attendee comes in, they give their number which is entered into the first field. Pressing carriage return, their record is loaded, and I can then check the 'present' field. Then I click the next button and await the next person!
I'd like the simplify the whole process - so that as soon as the 3 digit attendee number is typed, the present box for that record is checked, and the form is reset (curser back to the combo box to search for next record).
In short - all the registrar ever has to do is enter a three digit number!
Is it possible to have a Find & Replace in the table using access forms. ( Like the inbuild option in Excel ), I want the user to search some data & replace with the new data which may present in more than one record.
I want to do it with forms, because i dont want the user to use the tables.
I am using a form to input attendance data. I would like to know how to log an individual as being out on vacation for a week, month or so without having to input the staffs name and date for each day they are out. Would like to Enter their name once with the date range they will be away from the office.
I'm creating a Gym Database and need to be able to track attendance for specific classes. I need to have a system in place allowing me to do a register for attendance for each activity.
I also need to be able to calculate fees based on attendance. So if a person attended Gym 5 times in the month (£5 per session) and then Swimming 3 times in the month (£2 per session). My system should automatically calculate this based on the attendance tracking.
Also: In the booking stage, I need to have a field telling me how many spaces are left on each activity. Say for example I'm booking Person 99 in for Swimming and there is only 11 places left I need the field to display 11 places left. After that booking it should update saying 10 places left because Person 99 is booked in.
I am trying to make a database for my employees to count their attendance according to the days of the month and then get their salary. How to create a form that show the days of the month and then i can add the names of the attending employees.
I have a form that has a button that calls the following code:
Sub ClosePO_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim mvalue As String, strSql as string Set db = CurrentDb mvalue = Me.Combo73 'combo box on OpenPO Form strSql = "UPDATE Print SET OpenPO = NO where [GPO Invoice Number] = '" & mvalue & "'" Debug.Print strSql db.Execute dbFailOnError db.Close Set db = Nothing End Sub
When I run (or step through the code, I get the Run-Time Error 3078 ... database cannot find the input table.However, when I copy the debug.print output in the immmediate window and paste into the query builder, the query runs. Here is an example of the debug.print output:
UPDATE [Print] set OpenPO = NO where [GPO Invoice Number] = '40333' where OpenPO is a yes/no field and [GPO Invoice Number] is a string
I wan to build a form with a blank text box (txtbx1) where users can enter a part description, this will search records in Table1>part and return a list of parts that match the textbox input.
Here's what I've done -
txtbx1 - property sheet - control source - part event - on enter - ...
I've built an expression -
[Table1]![part] = [txtbx1]
hoping that this would match records 1n Table1 to txtbx1
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
