I work for a foundry and we bring in lots of raw material for conversion to alloy. Each incoming lot is assigned a number on arrival and is then broken down and processed in batches, typically 9. Each of these batches is then assigned a number as well, again a consecutive number which also includes a letter (the letter designates the product). Process data for each batch is kept and final QC analysis data is also recorded.
My question is: how do I set up a form on which I input the lot number, customer, and source once but that fills in that info for each row in the table with which the form is associated? After conversion, I would like to be able to analyze the process data by one of those 3 values so I need them filled in in the table (I plan to pull the data from the Access table into Minitab for statistical analysis).
I am attempting to setup a database and need setting up a form that captures/enters multiple records from one form.
We have batches of case files consisting of 25 folders each. I would like to setup the form where the user only has to enter the [User], [FileGroupID], [Examiner] and [DateAssigned] just once, but also allow for the individual 25 case file numbers in that batch to be entered. (See attached image)
So far I have created 2 tables; BatchLog table which would capture the batch details that is entered once and a CaseFiles table which would capture the individual case file numbers.
I have a new scenario today! I have searched database design to try to figure this out and have an effective database as well as adding multiple records to one table that is linked to 1 record in the other table.I have a master student list with their information that has the fields
Student ID LastName FirstName Address City Zip Community
I have another table that has the fields
ClassName Date Community Instructor
What I would like to do is be able to create a form that can add multiple classes for each student. For example, I have Student 1. Student 1 has attended class A, B, C, and D. I would like the form to have the student's name and ID with a way to add multiple classes linked to that student.
I'm working on a database that tracks students and grades. I have a tblStudents with Personal details, tblStudentsAndClasses which allows me to have a one-to-many to many-to-one relationship, tblClasses with all the class info, plus a tblGPA.
I'm wanting to list all the Student's names listed with their current class and have blanks for data entry for Grade, Grade status, and have a current timestamp in another field. So the teacher can enter the Grades and Grade Status for all students on one day in a single form (think EXCEL). The way I have it now, is that (x number) grades that have already been entered shows up as (x number) copies of the same student. So my relationships are probably set up incorrectly also.
I can't filter out IS NOT NULL because I wouldn't get any students with grades already entered in.
I've found a post on another bytes.com that is REALLY close to what I am looking for, but I don't know anything about VB to be able to adjust it to fit my requirements. I would have tried to do a forum search here, but I'm not sure what terminology I would search for.
I have a form that when the end user is searching for previous records it creates an erroneous record based off of the search criteria. I want it to create a record ONLY when the "Enter" button is pressed.
Is there a way to limit the form to creating records only when ENTER is clicked on?
I had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.
I have a form to enter archaeological features in a feature table. Each feature is present in one or more archaeological strata, for which I have a stratum table. There are 41 strata in total named 1A, 1B, 2A etc. On the form I want a checkbox for each of these and then to make it add a record to the stratum table for each of the selected strata. The stratum table and feature table are connected by the feature_primary_ID (key in feature table), so when making a new record I need this primary ID and the respective strata to be entered in the fields.
At the moment I've got something like this:
Code: Private Sub Check1_Click() If Check1.Value = True Then DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tbl_FEAT_STRAT (feature_primary_ID, stratum_ID) VALUES ((feature_primary_ID of present record),Label2.Caption)" Else DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM tbl_FEAT_STRAT WHERE feature_primary_ID = (feature_primary_ID of present record)" End If End Sub
For starters, I dont know how to get the feature_primary_ID from the features table (also represented in the form as a field) and use it to make a new record in the strata table.
Second, when using this code I need a copy for each of the 41 strata checkboxes. Creating lots of redundant code. Easier would be a generic code that loops through all the checkboxes after they've been checked and then add new records for each of the checked boxes. Tried something with a command button, but couldn't get it to work.
I have two fields on the main form and I need a total count of records between the value of the two and then enter the total in a bound field on the main form
How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.
I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...
How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.
I am making a database and I am currently doing my forms. I have been using wizards and so far everything I have wanted to be able to do has been achievable, except for where I am now! I am making a 'purchases' form. What I want to be able to do is make multiple purchases in the one form. Let me try and give you an example to further explain myself.
Lets say Mr John Smith wants to purchase 1 black pen, 1 30cm ruler, 2 rubbers and a compass.
I want it so that rather than have to add each one of the purchases one by one, I want to be able to add them all in the same time and be able to go back to my purchases table and see:
Mr John Smith - 1 black pen Mr John Smith - 1 30cm Ruler Mr John Smith - 3 rubbers etc
I have created a db with 10 linked tables from 10 db's. I then build 10 queries associated to these linked tables. The 10 queries filter data by start date and end date. The data generated from each query is then exported to excel (each query has its own sheet in the woorkbook).
I have several forms will be filled out on a daily basis by 50 different people. Does Access have a way of allowing multiple users to fill out the forms at the same time and still track the data? Or is it like Excel and can only be viewed as "Read-Only" once opened by someone else?
I want to create a form in MS access for General Journal input for an accounting software. Problem is that my client required a form in which he can input as many Debits and/or credits as he likes, for one transaction on one form. For example it may be 2 debits and 4 Credits in one transaction. Its a simple one table entry with fields; TrNo (Transaction Number), Date, Type (Debit or Credit), Amount, and Narration (for details of transaction). Out of these field TrNo, Date & Narration will be same for all debits & credits in one transaction.
Basically I have a table where freelancers have multiple records for each module they teach. What I am trying to do is show all records for each person onto the same form, but anything I have followed still only brings up the first record.
This information is all on the same table, so would this be easier to be on separate tables to then create relationships?
i have a splitview form that has a sub form which is a continuous form. On the continuous form there is a start and end date for each record. i would like to be able to change all the start dates on the continuous form by selecting a date once and hitting update or something like that.
so what i have going on is i have designers building scaffolds and adding articles to the scaffold (thus the continuous list) then a few months down the road the site planner will schedule the scaffold to be built and torn down. this will be done on this split form noted above. once that is done i need to have a date and an action applied to each article in the scaffold because i need to track usage of all the material per peice on a job site.
I have a DB that we track our wires in the building where they are going from and to. When we are adding new equipment we need to reserve a group of numbers so we can label our wires then input the data at a later time. Obviously we can't have 2 different wired with the same number or that would create havoc. In the past we would just pull a group of numbers out of thin air and see if that range was in use but that has created huge gaps in our numbering. The DB that I have we can look up gaps in numbers so we can utilize those numbers. what I am having issues with is being able to reserve the numbers in 1 shot instead of having to go in and create a new record individually for each wire number.
A little bit of context first: I am producing a database to store information on overhead line structure renewals.
I have a table called tblStrucTasks with four fields; Task ID, Structure Type, Create (specifies whether the structure is to be created or removed) and Task. I need to enter multiple records which will have the same Structure Type and Create fields but different Task fields. There are many tasks for each structure so I'd like a form where you only have to select the Structure Type and Create fields once. Some sort of list where the tasks could be typed in would then be perfect.
I'm not sure whether this should be done with VBA or queries. I'm new to databases so I don't know a lot about queries but I have a little bit of experience with VBA from Excel.
There's an inventory of products that I might take to a show (convention). What's a good way to associate the show with the product, and store that relationship in the ShowLink table?
I could make a datasheet with one of the fields a combo box, but this would get tedious if I had 100 products. I figure a better way would be to have a multiselect list box that I select all the products, then have one combo box to associate a show to it.
I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?
I have a Sales Order form that is used to input sales orders. the main form is comprised of customer and shipping information that is created from a query based on a customerOrder table while the subform is comprised of product information that is created from a query based mainly on the CustomerOrderDetail table.
I need to be able to put multiple products in the subform as a customer can order many items, when I save and close the form I look in the customer order table and see only one record for that sales order while seeing all the records in the detail table for all the products ordered for that sales order as I should but the problem I run into is the query that I have for the sales order shows multiple records for every product that was ordered on that sales order and shows up multiple times in my sales order maintenance form when I only want to see the one. if I change the query to a total query that fixes that problem and only see one copy of the sales order but makes the forms un updateable which is no good.
I cant figure out what I did to make this happen as I have a purchase order form that is setup the same but doesn't have this problem and works great, no matter how many items I have in the subform I only see one purchase order in the query and in the maintenance form.
Off of the same dB I would like to create a subform which will allow me to enter multiple records to the main table, the one attached to the main form. How to go about creating one?
I have this access "Database" that contains only one table that I'm trying to make a form for. I want it to allow the user to enter a value for field A and a value for field B then a list of values for field C (which is the key, so each would be a new record all with the same values for field A and field B). I tried to make a multiple item form but when I click on the new row for field C, fields A and B both disappear.
Disclaimer: I know that the creation of a one table database is a mortal sin but that's what my boss gave me and there are already >8000 records with a million mispelled words, so I don't think there's much I can do to make it a relational database without entering each record in again.
I've developing a QA/QC database for testing chemical products and I'm stuck on the best way to continue with adding multiple records by using one form.
I have two tables:
tblProductSpecs with two primary keys, "ProductName" and "TestName"
tblResults with three primary keys, "ProductName", "TestName", and "LotNumber" and a number field named "Value"
A product can have multiple tests associated with it, e.g:
ProductName - TestName XXX - Density, pH ZZZ - Density YYY - % soluble, cloud point , freeze point This is my tblProductSpecs table
I want to store the "Value" of each "TestName" of the "LotNumber" of that "ProductName" in tblResults by a form. (All TestName values are number values).
I want a form where I can select "ProductName" and have the "TestName"s displayed for that "ProductName". Then I want to store the value of that "TestName" for that "ProductName" and "LotNumber" in tblResults.
The problem is that each test per product per lot number is a record and I can't figure out a way to create multiple records from one form.
I've got a table which contains about 4000 workers, all of whom are issued with an ID card using a 3rd party software which looks at the data in this table. Every 3 years the card expires and needs to be re-issued.
When this happens for a batch of workers, the Print Date needs to be updated to reflect the new date - is there any way in which I could select a number of different workers and update the Print Date field for them all at once?
