I am designing a data-entry system in Access 2003 for a clinical case-reading study. The questions that the case readers have to answer are divided into modules, and different batches of records use different modules, but all batches use a core module which includes identifying information and a set of questions that apply to all cases. The modules can include anywhere from about 15 to 60 questions. Some of the modules have been written, but the idea is to create new modules as the need arises. The data will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. There is no need to plan for reports and this isn't really a relational database.
The problem is to allow the reader to enter data for the relevant modules, sometimes one, sometimes four or five or more.
I have created a main table for the core module and a form to go with it. I’m assuming I need to create a separate table, related to the main table, for each module and an accompanying subform for each table.
How do I create a menu system that will allow the case reader to choose only the subforms needed for a particular record?
I am trying to write a parameter query ... I have multiple fields the users *could* search, but they may want to search only one, and I am having a struggle figuring this out.
Ex. fields to search are Gender, Age, Date, etc., and I have created a parameter query that includes parameters for each of these fields. However, if I want to see all the females, thus leaving the other two parameters blank, I have no records in my result set. Clearly, I am doing something wrong -- I have searched the forum extensively before posting.
Thanks in advance, I am sure I am being simple and missing somethign....
I have a continuous subform recording the information of various wireless products for an employee embedded in an employee main form. Please see screen shot enclosed.
There is a check box "BYOD/Personal" on the subform. I want to hide a number fields when this check box on independent record is checked. However, if I use the following codes, the changes apply to all records under that employee.
Private Sub BYOD/Personal_AfterUpdate()
If BYOD/Personal.Value = True then Me.Provider.Enabled = False Me.XXX.Enabled = False....etc. Else Me.Provider.Enabled = True Me.XXX.Enabled = True....etc. End If End Sub
How can I just disable those fields on the subform of a specific record when the BYOD/Personal field for that record is checked?
I have 2 fields in access table. In one field i fill numbers eg (1,2,3,4,5) drop down list. In the second field I need to fill another data. When I chose one of the numbers from Field 1, I want automatically fill the second field with appropriate data.
In ContactIDForm it contain 1 textbox name 'TextBox' with Button Name 'Btn'
In ContactIDForm there is only 1 Text Box ContactIDTextBox and 1 Button. User Enters ID in TextBox and On Button Click Event it should check data from TextBox in Table name (ContactDetailTable) in field ContactID and if there is record matching, ContactInfoForm should Open else NewContactForm should open with ContactIDTextBox value in it.
Any way to automatically choose next in sequence via form entry in Access 2007.We currently have an excel spreadsheet tracking who attends review meetings for new products. There are 12 people who are eligible to attend the meeting, and the next person in the sequence should be chosen when a new meeting is scheduled. I'll be adding this to an existing database with an "associate" table- where each associate name is assigned a numeric value, if this can even be done.
The problem is that the logical order may not always be followed. Associate 8 might be up next but be on vacation, so Associate 9 is sent in their place. We can't skip over Assoc. 8 completely so we'll go back to them once they're back in the office, but we don't want 9 being sent to the next one after that again. Or the manager might determine one associate has more knowledge in the area of the new product being presented and send them out of order. In Excel it's easy to see who is up or who has been skipped, but in single-form data entry in Access the pattern won't be visible.
I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.
I have a table tblMessages, with a yes/no column called Available I have a form with three checkboxes chk1, chk2, and chk3 the when i click chk1 the other two check should be checked which this code seems to do but what it is not doing is going to the table and selecting the data where the ID is 2. what am i missing here?
Private Sub chk1_Click() Dim strSQL As String 'Holds the SQL statement for this command only. If chk1 = True Then chk2 = True chk3 = True strSQL = "UPDATE'[Available]' FROM 'tblMessages' WHERE '[ID]'= 2" Else chk2 = False chk3 = False strSQL = "UPDATE '[Available]' FROM 'tblMessages' WHERE '[ID]'=2" End If Me.Requery End Sub
I have two combo boxes. One with the customer and one with the customer contact. These boxes seem to be working fine however, after you select the customer and then the customer contact box updates, it isn't allowing me to choose the contact. Nothing happens when you click.
I'm using access 2003. I've got a textbox placed ontop of an image that I want to make it seem to disappear on a conditional format.
The back color property of the textbox I want to set is "13160660". How do I choose this colour when applying conditional formatting as I only seem to be able to choose from the swatch of 40 default colours and no option to define custom colours.
I'm working on a project that uses a barcode scanner. The user will scan a barcode which will choose an item from a combo box. The result of what it enters will populate a text box. I have that part working fine.
The next step is to get it to open a form based on the value in the textbox. The textbox will have about 7 different possible values and each one should open a different form.
The way this is supposed to work:
User approaches a machine and scans the barcode. He is presented with a form giving him options based on the type of equipment the machine is. A compressor for example would present him with a set of options for compressors (gauge readings, maintanence, etc).
I have an unbound form with two controls:
cboAssetNumber txtType
How to code this and which events to code it in. Users will be going from machine to machine and using the form over and over again so I need to somehow manage the clearing of the form to begin again with another barcode scan.
I saw another thread about a barcode scanner and one response was to program the scanner to send the barcode and then send an "Enter" press to move focus to the next control. I've looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find if that is possible. Right now it sends the number and that's it. It's a "Motion" Tablet.
I have a query that I export to a text file with fixed width settings.
For one particular field that had only been one character and 5 spaces I used PGM: " " & [ProgramCode] for my field. The recipient of the export file requires that this field be 6 spaces long and leading spaces fill in any unused field.
Now, one of the records for this field will be 2 character so the way it is now will cut off the leading character. How can I write this to add leading spaces until it reaches 6?
One of the items on my form has a value of varying length (decimals). My query is picking up the complete value but the field displays only 2 decimals. The field property is set to Format = ##,##0.00### Decimal = Auto
If i click on the field, it shows me the correct value e.g. 0.0001
Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.
I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.
In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how I should go about designing the table structure for the hours tracking for the database I'm working on. Basically, I have a table with projects (tblProj) that I need to track the number of labor hours worked per month. The problem lies in the fact that each project could have varying time periods, anywhere from less than a year to more than a year and can start and end at any time of the year.
I was thinking of creating a second table (tblProjHours) to store the hours for the project but I'm not sure what the most efficient way of doing this would be. My idea was to create a table as follows:
I would create a large number of fields/columns, something like Month1 to Month36 just to make sure I have enough months to enter in the hours. This is of course inefficient since some projects would be way shorter than the maximum allowed months set by the table structure and there is always the possibility of surpassing the maximum allowed months based on the table structure. I was wondering if someone had any better ideas on how I should pursue the design. Thanks in advance!
I have two tables, Students and AttendanceRecords.
Students just has studentID and studentName
AttendanceRecords has AttRecID, studentID, presence, thedate
I'm looking to create what looks like an Excel grid, with the last 10 days as columns and the student names as rows. All the cells in middle will be filled with the values of 'presence' for that student/day (e.g., P for present, A for absent).
Here's something I'm currently considering.
-I could make 10 queries, each using LEFT JOIN to connect studentName with presence & thedate on studentID, varying the 10 queries only in that 'thedate' will have a criteria of Date() -1 , Date() -2 , etc. -If I'm understanding it correctly, I'll then have 10 tables, each containing 3 rows -- student name, presence, and the date (with each table having only 1 date repeated throughout). -I could then join those 10 queries together on studentName, theoretically resulting in 1 big table with all the student names and the corresponding presence values for the last 10 days
If I do that, I could make a form in Continuous view and have each row show the studentName and 10 text boxes closely bunched up with presence values.
That seems very inefficient? Making 10 queries separately and then manually merging them seems redundant.
Also, now that I think about it, will the final product end up being read-only, or if the user changes one of the presence cells will it update the corresponding record in AttendanceRecord?
I create several reports for several different companies. Report data is the same but the report header data changes based on the company selected. All works well until I attempted to add their individual logos. I have tried many of the suggested methods both here and elsewhere to set the image path in Image.picture and image.control source. But I get "windows can't open file". Access 2010 on Windows10 insists on using the insert picture window when i select an image control. There is a drop down in the property sheet. I've gotten it to work a couple times but then its gone after restart.
The header data comes from a table [Company] which has the fields - name, addr, phone, path to image, and active(yes/no)
I am working on a report that will have 16 sub-reports, one right below the other. Because of the complex nature of the calculations in the groupings it seemed easier to "build" the report using vba rather than using the report's built-in grouping ability. The issue I am running into is that there seems to be no simple way to control the height of the sub-reports. I had hoped that setting "can grow" to yes would change the height of the sub reports and move all subsequent sub reports down (Allas)
As an alternative I thought too that I might be able to set the height of the sub-report control, which would make for a tricky but not impossible bit of programming, but (Again allas) I can't seem to find a reasonable way to determine the required height of the sub-report's control.
Using MS 2007, I have a 200 text files exported each day from another application that has two different types of lines (see below). I would like to import each text file in to a database as a single record.
Text file example (text.txt):
R111 WC 8/21/2012 7:00 Doe, John doej 10110110
First Question? Y Second Question? N Third Question? Y ... Seventeenth Question? 10
As you see, I have the first row with multiple fields, but the next rows I have a question and an answer.
I would like to have this data imported as shown in the attachment. Example.zip
Most answers I see are for either multiple lines (same data and sizing). I am not sure how to handle several different lines with that vary in size and delimiters.
Using access 2010; i have a form that includes a date field. Is there a way to force the user to only choose a month end date? When the user clicks the date from the popup, they may use 9/1/2013 when the mgr. want them to use only 8/31/2013. I am thinking validation field to put a msg but want to be able to force it not the option.
I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?
I am using a template database that I downloaded from the Microsoft Access template website and have been modifying it and adding new forms and tables etc. I have used the forms wizard to create a number of new forms to edit a number of the tables. The forms are "split forms".I can't seem to get many of the forms to stay the size that I set them to! They seem to have a mind of their own and often when I think that I have sized them correctly, I then open the form and they display in full screen mode or larger!
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
I have a main form with multiple subforms in tab view, right now the forms only open in edit mode, I would like all forms to open to new record mode. I know I can set the main form with the switchboard manager but what about the subforms?
I am attempting to create a database for my users to input new data via a main form. I have this main form where I use subforms as look up tables/queries to pull my stored data from. My problem is that I want to try and not have the subform on the main form; I want it to be its own window. Bear in mind I am new to using Microsoft access, and trying to learn as I go.
I have created all the forms with queries. I use the open form command to get me to my subform, which is a common findings form. From there I am able to search and filter, and once I find my desired record I want to be able to link certain fields back to the main form. (basically if possible use a command button to select this information and insert it on the main form). Typically, my users will have a generic finding to to record so I have inputted these findings so that they can select them and not have to type them themselves. Is this even possible for me to do this way, with a command button by writing a VBA code and linking criteria? The reason I am creating a separate form is so that the main form is not cluttered and is user friendly.
The fields I want to link are the same, however they are not from the same queries, and essentially the main form has its own since as of right now there is not data because it’s run of user input. The findings form has data. There are relationships established.
Thanks for any help, I feel like this might be confusing since I am unsure of exactly what I am trying to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay. I am trying to build a form where I could get information like this but also editable. It can be either bound or unbound with enough information to update the records. I could do this several other ways but would prefer it just like it is below. Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Sam.
