Forms :: Update Multiple Tables From A Single Form / Page?
Jun 27, 2013
My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.
I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1: Name Age DOB
Table 2: Name Age DOB
Table 3: Name Age DOB
Table 4: Name Age DOB
Table 5: Name Age DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I wrote a database several years ago and recently pulled it out to give to a friend. The problem is, back then (not knowing better) I set the Employee table up with as a single field "NAME". Now, in order to make it effective, I need the Employee's name in four (4) parts (First, Middle, Last, Suffix).
I have several queries based on the "NAME" field and and would like to avoid changing all of them. I have a simple form "frmUpdateEmployees" that populates the Employee table and Name field. I was hoping to change the form and/or add a query that would be easier and more simple.
Table: Employee Field: Name Form: frmUpdateEmployees Queries: 16 that depend on the table and field above.
How to design a form for a table based all records to design in a single form without top to bottom list wise and without scroll bars. Need to form design for all record details are will show on a form as side by side only as horizontal list wise.
For Ex. I have attached the screen shot image as per horizontal wise records continues.
I'm working to create a staffing database that houses changes to staffing week over week.
I have one primary table, the "empMaster" table, that stores the employee's name, contact information, etc. I have other individual tables for noting which employee reports to which manager, what their business title is, what group they're in, their training history, etc.
Once I've populated the empMaster table with employee information, I want a form that allows me to update each of the other tables IF there as a change. Some weeks will have a manager change, some only a business title change, some a group change, some a training change, some all of the above. The problem I run into is that I will sometimes process hundreds of changes a week, sometimes only 10-20 so I almost have to use datasheet view for mass edits. I'm relatively new to Access and I'm having a hard time getting my form to allow this level of flexibility and to update all fields needed.
When I build a form that includes more than two tables (let's say I want to update a Manager and a Business Title), the form will not work and populates nothing. I believe it's because Access wants there to be an existing record to match to across all three tables and there will not always be.
How do you create a form that is not tied to one single record source? In other words, I want to be able to select the record source that it updates. I have a bunch of tables that have the same data structure but are separated due to geographical nature among other reasons. Is there a way to do this?
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
I've got a form called 'frmStudent' which is linked to 'tblStudent'. I have designed it as a tabbed form, the first tab has "Student name", "Student Number", etc. The second tab is linked to visits by the student to a mentor (such as a tutor etc). Here I'd like to have "Date of visit", "Mentor Name", etc.
So far I've been able to get the first tab to work (I'm guessing because it's linked to 'tblStudent'), but can't get my 2nd tab to work as I have no clue on how to link it with 'tblVisits'. Is there a VBA methor or perhaps a nother method to do this?
I'm attaching a link to the sample of what I'm doing (please shift-open into frmStudent to view what I'm talking about). Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have a tabbed form that contains multiple rows of data just like the following: (it's a service checklist for a store where the user makes choices from the combo boxes: e.g. good, fair, poor, etc)
Since the combo boxes describe data that relates only to that element I can't put all the data needed into a single table. There are 40 of these rows so does that mean I have to create 40 tables? If so, how do I add the data to them from the form? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Currently we track areas of non-conformance for a fleet of flight simulators. Each flight simulator has a particular ID number. In some instance an area of non-conformance is associated with a single simulator, at other times it is a fleet wide issue and applies to all or some simulators. In order to track as well as advise leadership and the contractor responsible for maintenance of the simulators of the situation we generate individual response letters.
In order to track each instance of non-conformance my idea was to create a new record for each deficiency. In the event that it is applicable to multiple simulators I would like to fill out the form with all pertinent data and then place a checkbox associated with each simulator and when the record is saved, it creates one record for each simulator with a checkbox ticked.
Once the deficiency on each simulator is fixed, I would check a box for a field called rescinded, which would remove that particular deficiency on that particular simulator from the active list of deficiencies but the others would still remain because they are associated with unique records.
I have built a few Access DBs and am looking to improve my development skills and attemt to migrate my Access DB to SQL Azure. I find access to be a very powerful development environment to build rapid applications . How to use multiple monitors so that I can display different forms on each monitor from a single Access DB.
I would like to create a text box where I can input todays date, then I want to be able to select the tables I want to update with that information. So if I input todays date I can then update my Stock, Sales and Control tables with todays date. Tomorrow I would only like to update the Control and Tape tables with it as its the weekend. I been playing around with 'new date for next record' scenario but the problem is that on the weekend we would not input any data into some of the tables. Hope I've explained myself clear enough.
Is there a way to prevent a user from switching records on a single page form when he rolls his/her mouse wheel. I have noticed that users accidentally scroll the wheel, and this switches them to the next record.
I need for them to remain at the current record they have chosen, or at the new record they are working on.
What I have is a database setup with multiple tables in which different areas of my DC can input information simultaneously into their respective tables. I then have another database linked to it for myself to have a live view of each updated record. I would like to see all the records of each table in 1 single table (possibly just sorted ascending by time). Each table has the same Field headings but may have different qtys of records. As I will then have it linked to an Excel table to VLOOKUP from it.
I have tried Union coding but always get Syntax Error etc.
I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.
My db has several tables tb1, tb2 tb3 tb4 ..... I have link tb1 to tb2 (tb1Id to tb2)and linked tb2 to tb3 and tb4 (tb2Id to tb3 and tb4) I have created a form with several field from tb1 and tb2 and a single field for tb3 and tb4. All of the fields except one for tb1 are use to make a decision based on what they display. The only field that is updated on the form is a date conversion field from tb1. once you update this field it will auto populate a date field on tb1 with current date. you then have a choice of 4 commands to activate based on what is displayed form the rest of the form.
my problem none of the fields can be updated. can any one help
qry the form is based on
tb1 [Name] tb1 [ID] tb1 [date conversion] 'this is the only field that is manualy updated tb1 [date] 'updated base on date conversion field being updated tb2 [field] tb3 [Yes/no] tb4 [yes/no]
based on what is displayed on the form you have 4 choices of cmd buttons.
I have 2 main tables. One with Data that I get from an outside source and cannot be changed. The other is one that needs to be updated as needed. I have a few look up tables so I can identify the codes with the descriptions. In 2003 I was able to make a big query and link my forms to the query to make modifications. I am not able to edit any information in the 2010 query. The people want it to work the way it did in the past but I am not skilled enough in access to do that. Is there an easy way to use a query when updating the form? I used to be able to edit the query itself and it would feed back into the existing tables.
I need some guidance here. I have 3 tables with the exact same column names. Each table has a list of all 50 states in column 1 (one has four of each state) and column 2 is product name. I am trying to use a page to view/edit this information separately (which I got) and all at once (which I need).I this even possible?Maybe this will help...tbl1Column 1, Column 2, Column 3Alabama , MAP , infoAlaska , MAP , infoArizona , MAP , infoArkansas , MAP , infoect....tbl2Column 1, Column 2 , Column 3Alabama , Credit , infoAlaska , Credit , infoArizona , Credit , infoArkansas , Credit , infoect....
I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required. Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required. Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required. Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.
I need to set up an attendance database, that has multiple statuses available for a single day.Example: employee can be present, he can have a sick leave, he can be away on training, or business trip, etc... And for some of those statuses, like business trip, i need to be able to freely enter a comment, stating where he is etc..
Anyway, the key is that this database should be able to offer a "headcount" option, and traceability for past statuses for at least a year, for every and all employees. Now i just need to set up the database tables and relationships.
I have a tblCustomer table to track customer information. One field is for flights the customer books. I expect that a customer might book more than one flight, which should affect what he owes. (My tblFlights table includes fields for the cost of each flight.) How should I make the Flight field in tblCustomer so it accepts multiple flights and reflects on the customer's final bill and my own accounting tables that I haven't even created, yet?
I'm probably overthinking everything. This is just an Intro to Access class, and I only need 3 tables with 1 relationship. So far, I have 9 primary tables, 4 duplicate tables (for M:N relationships) and 11 relationships. I have to have tables for financial data, customer info and product/service info. I wasn't sure what I would need for my fictional airline, so I created tables to track everything I could think of, hoping to cover all 3 required types of data in the process.
We have two facilities that receive four different types of shipments. I wanted to set up a database to track these shipments. Is there a way for me to set up tables such that the person entering the information can leverage the same date and location field for each entry type? For example, we may only receive two types of shipments today and four tomorrow. I want to avoid having the clerk enter the date and location two times today and four times tomorrow for each data entry.
Here's an example of what I mean above:
Date Location Type Qty 5/16 1 A 10 5/16 1 B 1 5/17 1 A 1,000 5/17 1 B 100 5/17 1 C 1 5/17 1 D 11
I'd like for the clerk to select from a fixed number of locations (1 and 2) and a fixed number of types (A, B, C, or D) and provide the date and quantity received.
Now the "User" table has the ff. fields: ID(auto num),FName,MName,LName,User,Pass,Type.
Now what I want to do is, if I add a new a record in the table "User" and if the record has the data "Admin" in the field "Type" then the record should also be saved in the table "Admin" but if the data is "Teacher" or "Pupil" then it should be also saved in their respective tables.
I have one-page forms which print a second page, blank except for a block of grey shading at the top. I have tried moving the content of the form up but that doesn't eliminate the second page. If I look at print preview, every second page of the entire database shows up as blank, regardless of where that happens to appear in the record.
So I'm making a database for an office and I'm having a little trouble getting the information linked together. This is my first access project.
Here's the information:
Desktops_TBL Desktop ID (PK) Location (FK) Serial Number Product Number Operating System etc
[Code]....
How I want it to work:
-New users or equipment is entered via a new entry form and stored in the respective table with a dummy Location (i.e. "Backstock"). This part I understand how to do -To assign a user and equipment to a location, I want there to be a master form for that location. In that master form, there are subforms displaying the current pieces of equipment attributed (if there are any) to that location. A combo box displays the possible choices, and choosing a choice attributes the equipment to that location.
I have the form with subforms set up. The number of records corresponds to the number of locations in the office. Going through the records displays the correct information of attributed equipment in the subforms.
Where I am stuck: What I want is for the user of the database to be able to click on the Desktop serial number combo box, choose a different record, and have it assign the Location from the main form to the Desktop Location FK so that they link. When I try to do this, it writes a new blank record in Desttop_TBL, assigning the Desktop ID to the PC Serial Number spot, but that's it.
