Forms :: Sort Putting One Record On Top Based On Yes / No Field
Mar 8, 2013
My table has 3 fields, Employee Number (text), Job Description (text) and Current (yes/no). The table keeps track of the Job Descriptions that an Employee has had along with his current Job Description (actually Title is more appropriate a word but client requested Description) So the table has records such as:
0001 - Floor Sweeping - no
0001 - Ceiling Cleaning - yes
0001 - Dumpster Turning - no
The yes signifies that that is the current Job Description for employee #0001 and the others with no are previous Job Descriptions that the employee #0001 has held.
Now - I created a form to add these records to the table and on that form I want a list box to show the records in the table for this employee but I want to sort it such that the current Job Description is listed first and the rest show up in alphabetical order following. I have the query to list all of the Description, but how can I get the current one to always appear on the top of the list?
In a form is there a way to change sort order based on which field is active?
I'm using a Split Form which gives me the ability to sort by clicking on the header name ans selecting sort. This slowing things done since my workload is heavy.
I have a query that lists items in locations in our warehouse. Each location is broken down by Aisle-Bay-Level-Position, for example 50-101-01B; or 51-106-02 with all the even Bays on one side and Odd bays on the other side of the aisle. I have the query set up so it separates odd and even so I can go all the way down one side of the aisle then I have to walk back to the beginning of the aisle to check the other side.
What I am trying to do is change the sort based on another field that I have called SORT with a value of AZ or ZA depending on if I need that section to be sorted ASC or DESC. So for example all even bays in aisle 51 need to be sorted DESC while all ODD bays would be ASC. The way our warehouse is laid out it is not always the odd or even side that needs to be sorted DESC, that's why I made the SORT field. The formula I used for the SORT field is as follows:
SORT: IIf(([Aisle]='50' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='51' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='53' And [OE]='ODD') Or ([Aisle]='52' And [OE]='EVEN'),'AZ','ZA')
Is there a way to make it sort the BAY in ASC or DESC based on the value in SORT?
I want to calculate the average of 16 anodes from text box into the "average drop" box and simultaneously want the data to be saved in the table too as one of the fields. Also, How to load form view while the database loads?
I have a form which shows training events - these can take place over one or several days, and can be run by one trainer or several, so I have my basic Events Info in one table (EventID, EventType, Location, that kind of thing) and the 'Jobs' in a separate table (EventID, JobDate, TrainerID, etc)
The problem I'm having is that I want the List of Events to be sorted in order of their start date... which is on the subform, not the main form.
How can I go about it - and still leave both the main and subforms fully editable?
I have a form that shows multiple rows of linked/child records.The form in question is the "frmFilterNumberTypeView" form. When a particular filter is used (installed on an automobile), I would like to be able to click on the corresponding "Installed 1" button left of the filter number, so that by code, I can reduce the Qty on Hand by One, and insert the corresponding filter ID to the History table, along with the date/time the filter was used.
how to reduce the Qty on Hand, nor how to do the updates to the History table, I'll figure that out myself over the next week or two (hopefully it won't take that long). What I'm trying to figure out here is how I can associate the red "Installed 1" button with the filter to the right of whichever button I press.
how to sort the filter column on this same form. I'm fairly certain that this would be very easy to do if the subform in question was populated by means of a corresponding query, but I'm afraid that if I go that route that I'll spend another 20+ hours trying to figure out how to get the proper filter records to match the filter manufacturer, not to mention having to next figure out how to link the table so that if I modify any particular filter record, that I'll be able to have the associated table update accordingly.
Is it possible to sort the filter column without the subform record source being a query?
How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
Sorry guys, I thought this would be simpler than it was!
Basically I just want to update my "Resolution date" field with the date or time now (which I know how to do) but AFTER I input data in my "Resolution" field ie I want a field to automatically record what time I am entering the text in my "Resolution" field?
How do I do this, and can I do it without writing a macro? I thought it was along the lines of After Update, but now I am confused!
Hey guys im really stuck on this one and hope some one can help me out.
I have the following structure:
Table: Products ID Product Name
Table: Suppliers ID Supplier Name
Table: Prices ID Product Name Supplier Name Supplier Offer
Query: QrySuppliers Prices.ID Prices.Product Name Prices.Supplier Name Prices.Supplier Offer Percent Off Trade: IIf(IsNull([Products]![Trade Price Euros]),0,([Products]![Trade Price Euros]-Nz([Prices]![Supplier Price],0))/[Products]![Trade Price Euros])
Because the "Percent Off Trade" field is unbound to a table I cant get the data into a report, instead every time I open the report it asks me for Products!Trade Price Euros :(
I've never tried doing complicated calculations in Access and would reallly appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me.
I tried to attatch the database but its 508kb so if anyone has a spare second and wants to check it out heres the link http://www.jeron.co.uk/Products.zip
I'm trying to create something like an online banking view that shows the running balance as each transaction occurs. I have tblTransactions with fields AccountNumber, ItemDescription, and TransactionAmount. I'm trying to create something that shows these three fields and a fourth field with the running balance.
So if I initially deposit $100 it will show the first record with TransactionAmount = $100 and RunningBalance = $100. Then the next transaction will subtract the Transactionamount for the new record from the RunningBalance from the previous record to get the RunningBalance for the new record. So if I make a purchase for $2, the AvailableBalance for that record is $98. Is this possible with a query? Here's a picture to describe what I'm talking about ....
I have a query in which some of the field names were assigned a while back and don't make a lot of sense to the person who gets the report so I give them new labels in the query...for example:
I pull in the field AE_resp_req and in front of that I type in RM Response: AE_resp_req and when I run the query, the name for the field is RM Response and it works great. I have another field called Category_Rating that I pull into this query and I did the same thing: Exam Rating: Category_Rating (field name) but when I run the query it still says Category_Rating and I get no errors or messages..
I have 2 databases with the same structure, but different data.
I want to put all the data in 1 database.
The problem is that the most important table (clients)has an autonumeric id field, that is used to link the records to the fields of many other tables; so, I cannot delete or change that field without losing connections.
I ma going to sound a complete idiot with this question, but I have been working on a database for some time now, successfully putting buttons on forms with the wizard, jumping from form to form, form to report, basically the button wizard used to work now it doesn't and I don't think I have done anything stupid. (I hope). The wizard was brilliant, I'm lost without it. How do you restore it?

I am doing an assignment for uni and need to be able to autofill a textbox with the price of a service based on whether a checkbox, detailing whether the invoice has been paid, is ticked. I found the following formula which works: =IIf([Invoicepaid]=True,[ServPrice],0).
I put this into the control source box on my form but the only problem im having is that the price of the service is not being updated into the actual invoice table.
Hi, I have a query that contains the results of repeated tests on a number of persons. The goal of treatment is to get those test results below 50. I need to find, for each person, the period of time (with a start and an end date) during which their test was below 50. The dataset looks like:
I have a query that I want to sort based on a table. (SS BELOW) I want the OS in qry2FINAL to be sorted based on Trn-OSstops table. So the OS column of the query should be sorted as which is the order shown in the table. I tried linking the 2 tables in my query but I had no clue what to do from there. Any help?MV6HP108PT337HP113 (sometimes there is an extra field, but can I make it show up last?)http://i10.tinypic.com/68hkwhe.gifEdit: I looked at my SS and it might be confusing. Ignore all of the records in the Trn-OSstops table except for the highlighted one.
I'm trying to update an imported table from an excel spreadsheet with missing details. The table's records are in order so I just need to fill in a blank field with data based on the previous one as shown.
ID Name Location 1 Bob London 2 Larry 3 Harry 4 Jerry Glasgow 5 Paul 6 John Southampton
I need to fill in the location blanks simply with the last location details, so records 2 and 3 with London and 5 with Glasgow. Is this easily done or would I need to pull all the data into an array and work on it there?
I've tried searching for an answer but haven't had any luck.
I would like to sort records based on fiscal year for a chart. The fiscal year would be 7/01/2003 to 06/30/2004. I would like to sort this based on oldest date to newest date. This query could span several fiscal years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
