Hi, I am trying to set up a form so that i can view the employees at my workplace by the scheme they are in. I have tried a number of things with no luck. If anyone could help me i wold really appreciate it. An example would be a god send. Thanks alot.
View RepliesI have a form with the following:
A combo textbox with Category A and Category B.
An Amount textbox.
In the form footer, I have a textbox calculating the sum of the Amount.
This works fine but how do I create a textbox that calculates just the Category A or Category B??
Table: Transactions: ID,Date,Title,Category,Value, Budget Name
Table: Budget: Budget Name
Budget Years: Budget Name, Date From, Date To
Form entitles Budget, Fields : Date From, Date To, Budget Name
So within the form budget I have a subform which I want to group the categories and get a total value. THE tricky part is, I only want it to include values from the budget specified in the form and the date range of the form.
Here are my tables
Question Table
ID
Question
AnswerID
CategoryID
Answer Table
ID
Answer
Category Table
ID
Category
So my form shows :
Question, Answer, Category
And I can display any existing question and make updates to the question and answer, that works fine. BUT, what I want to do is update which category a question is in. If I change the Category in the form, it updates the 'Category' in the Category table. What I want it to do is update the CategoryID in the question table.
There are 3 drop down button that should filter category of items in a database:
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Whatever users choose in category 1, it will filter the items in Category 2. whatever users choose in category 2, it will filter the items in category 3. users can choose 1 to 2 categories or sometimes the 3 categories. the items will show in a subform. the subform are getting the items from a query. the dropdown button gets its value from a Table.
My challenge is that, i want to get the number of items in Category 1 once users chose it. if they choose something in Category 2 the number of items will change also. there will be 3 textbox for Category 1 COUNT, Category 2 COUNT, and Category 3 COUNT.
as of now, what im getting is only the filtering of Category 1 and Category 1 COUNT.
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.

Dear All,
I'd like to solve the following problem.
I have a table similar to this:
material1_date1_qty1
material1_date2_qty2
...
material1_date9_qty9
...
materialN_dateX_qtyW
I'd like to define categories for date (e.g. month) and summarize the quantities:
material1_period1_qty1+2 (if date1&2 are in period1)
material1_period2_qty3+4+...+9 (if date3-9 are in period2)
...
I cannot give conditions/categories in function 'sum' - how can I solve this?
Please help!

I have a table of categories with the columns: CatID | CatName | CatParentID
This way I'd like the ability to have unlimited subcategories.
My question is, how do I create a form that will let me enter the CatName with an autogenerated CatID, then enter a subcategory and select the first category as it's parent?
Something like this:
CatId | CatName | CatParentID

Hi,
In a form, I am using two comboboxes per record (i.e. when you add a new record, two more comboboxes for that record appear).
My goal is to have the second combobox show entries specific to what the first combobox was, with certain caveats (see below).
My current approach is using three tables - tblTypes, tblOptions, and tblEntries. tblTypes would store the different types of entries. Each of the types in tblTypes would contain options depending on its ID.
Basically, the first combobox will list the data in tblEntries and the second combobox will list the data in tblOptions, depending on what "Entry" was selected. New "Entry's" for the first combobox would be created in tblEntries, where the ID in this table would indicate what "Options" are available for that entry. As shown in the sample table below, I want to allow more than one entry with the same "ID" (i.e. there could be more than one entry with the same options, but the entry name would be different.)
A sample of what the tables would look like is below:
tblTypes
---------
ID |Type
1 TypeA
2 TypeB
3 TypeC
tblOptions
----------
ID | Option
1 Data1
1 Data2
1 Data3
2 Data1
3 Data4
3 Data5
tblEntries
----------
ID | Entry
1 Entry1
2 Entry2
2 Entry3
3 Entry4
Is this approach sound? If so, how would I create the comboboxes to use with this set of data? I tried doing so but ran into a certain problem - that is, the first combobox doesn't allow you to "select" entries with the same ID - it lets you select the first one, but no other... (using a query that simply selects all of the entries and its associated ID - I used the ID to populate the second textbox appropriately.
If this approach sounds unreasonable, how would you approach it? And after creating the tables, how would you go about setting up the combo boxes?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I am tring to generate a report or form, its generated by a combo box, which list all the categories of the products, when the category is clicked on it will generate the report or form showing all the products for that particular category. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
I am working on a small database for a school to track their live and silent auction. Currently I have a table set up as follows.
Silent Auction table :
Item Number
Short Item Description
Long Item Description
there are more fields that I am not interested in right now.
Mainly what I am after right now is to do some decent reporting for generating the catalog and posting the silent auction items on the web site for viewing before the night of the event.
I need to generate a report that contains the Item Number, short and long description. I need to group on Category which corresponds to the item numbers. Example:
Item Number 100 - 110 = Class Projects
110 -199 = Live Auction Items
200 - 299 = Sports and Recreation
300 - 349 = Entertainment
and so on......
I realize that had they numbered them in the 100 range I could group in my report by 100's and everything would be pretty good however, I did not have the opportuinity to be involved in the numbering scheme.
Even if the numbers had been in the order of 100s I still would need a way to say that the 100 -110 range is Class Projects.
I think I need another table and link it but I am not sure how to set up the range of numbers for the category.
Sorry to be so wordy.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all, I want to create a pivotchart from a query, embed it in a form and use a combobox in the main form to allow the user to select the x axis value. So in a query with fields city, state, country, etc the user would be able to chose one of those fields as the category(x axis across the bottom) to display data. Is this even possible? If it is, how do I do it? As it is now I can add multiple categories to my chart- but it just makes a big mess of the chart. I can embed a chart in a form and use a combobox- but it allows me to choose from within a field- but not from among fields. Also- how do I access the code to manipulate the chart? Thanx in advance
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a report which is about 200 pages and would like to add a table of contents for each category i have with page numbers, however i have googled and tried many different things but to no avail and what it the correct way or even showing me on a sample database.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically trying to create a chart through a Query.
Table is as follow:
Applebrand Date Volume per week Category
------------ ------ -------------------- -----------
I am trying to display the aggregated volume in a chart. The volumes can change depending on the demand from the buyers and its always the latest volume for the specific applebrand that is in play.
Example
Apple A 20150101 10 Retail
Apple B 20150202 100 Restaurants
Apple B 20150303 200 Retail
Apple A 20150404 50 Retail
The chart i would like to see is a aggregated volume for category "Retail" displaying a line from 10 to 210 to 250.
Instead my chart displays 10 to 200 to 50
Is there a way a solve this or should i use a different approach?

I am just starting out in access. I have a table that has different vehicle models. There is a "category" field that has vehicles under boats, cars, planes, heli, etc... How do I make a query that will only show the different categories that are used? So I would just want the category field showing one of each category that exists and not multiple records with the same category.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a database with hundreds of records in a main table called tblPARTS which has three fields - Part Number, Part Description and Category. I have another table, tblKEYWORDS, with two fields; a field called KEYWORDS which has words like "cable", "bracket", and "relay". The table has a second field called CATEGORY. The CATEGORY field has either the word ELECTRICAL or MECHANICAL associated with each of the KEYWORDS. So, for example, "bracket" would have "MECHANICAL" as its associated category. There are dozens of these entries in the KEYWORD table.
The problem: I need to auto fill the parts table (tblPARTS) with the correct category by looking at the DESCRIPTION field in the PARTS table which is made of several words, e.g. "STAINLESS STEEL BRACKET - 3" X 2" ". I need to find the word BRACKET and fill in the CATEGORY field in the parts table automatically via a query. There are several hundred parts in the main table.
I can do this easily using a standard update query, but it is limited to 10 IFF statements and there will be many more than this. Can I do this in VBA and if so, where do I start? I am an intermediate user of ACCESS.
I have a simple SELECT CASE query. I'm not sure how the syntax goes and I want to learn about it.
In the attached file, if you click on "cohort table", you will see the categorization for each unit under "field1".
how will I be able to use a SELECT CASE statement in a query to populate each unit with assigned category?
