Forms :: Eliminate Scrolling To Find Add A New Entry

Jun 24, 2013

The main form has a drop down box for the user to find the client record he wishes to add new visit data in the client visit history subfile.

When the client is found, a history subfile is loaded which has all of the prior client visits.

The history in the subfile contains two pieces of data:

date of the visit mm/dd/yyyy
# members in clients' family NNNN

The subfile history is sorted from oldest date to most current date.

For the user to add a new visit for this client, he must scroll down to the last record in the subfile and then add the new visit for this client.

Is it possible to eliminate the need for he user to scroll down to add a new history record.

I tried to sort the history subfile in descending order of date, but that only resulted in having the old history data in the correct order, but the place to add a new visit still remained on the bottom. The user still had to scroll down to add the new visit.

Forms :: Scrolling Within A Dialog Box

Sep 1, 2014

We have a system which calls a form from a hyperlink. The called form opens in Dialog mode (a box with a border which "Overlays" the screen). It has been working well until now when a new user has started using a computer with a smaller screen which can't display all of the dialog box (they don't have access to critical fields).

For now I have changed the mode of opening to normal which provides scroll bars but this only opens to the right of the navigation menu. Is there a way to set up scrolling within the dialog box.

Forms :: Creating Different Filters For Scrolling?

Apr 3, 2015

The last two weeks I taught myself Access (and hurt quite a few braincells in the process) Yet I am getting close to what I want to achieve, but now I am stuck how to proceed with the following:

I want to have 'forms' view as my main interface for my records. This is working very nicely, and I like how I can scroll fast through all records with my mouse-wheel. I also need to be able to filter records that will be displayed and scrolled through this way, and I created a filter which I can now toggle on or off easily for this purpose.

But now my challenge is, I want to be able to quickly select different filters, so for example, show only forms with a certain date field content. Or filter only forms which have a certain check-box checked. Etc. etc. And later on probably a bit more advanced, like: display forms that both contain 'this' and 'that'.

But I can't find a way to create several different and selectable filters? So this should probably be achieved in quite a different manner?

Forms :: Scrolling Line Chart

May 19, 2013

I've developed an Access 2003 database (split) and so far so good. The main thing I'm not happy about is that I can't (or maybe don't know how) to implement a horizontal scroll bar with a line chart. I thought it would be a matter of selecting the option in a Graph but seems not. So I'm left with just selecting Top 50 records and plotting them.How could the MS Access team not know that people would want this or am I missing something? to get a scrollable line chart.

Find Records With A Duplicate Field Entry

Jul 24, 2007

Hi, I have a cross-ref table (called MFC_CIBC_XREF) which links a bank account to a fund number and a general ledger number. It should be a unique relationship, wherein (the "=" means corresponds/links to)

Bank Account # "=" Fund #

For each bank account, there are sometimes multiple currencies being used, so each currency then links to a general ledger account, such that

Bank Account #.Currency = Fund #.General Ledger #

Sorry, if that's kinda cryptic, but here's an example:

Bank Account - ABCD123
Currencies operated in - CAD, USD
Fund # - F30

Based on the above, ABCD123 "=" F30, and including the general ledger numbers, ABCD123.CAD "=" F30.100, ABCD123.USD "=" F30.8121.

Basically, it's a way to keep track of not just the transactions for a particular bank account, but for the transactions in a particular currency.

Anyway, as I said, it's supposed to be a 1-to-1 relationship: each BankAccount.Currency should correspond to 1 and only 1 Fund.GeneralLedger. However, there are some entries in the table which have each BankAccount.Currency corresponding to multiple General Ledger numbers. Using my example above, ABCD123.CAD has two records in the table, one corresponding to F30.100, and another corresponding to F30.8101. This was probably because F30.8101 used to be linked to a different bank account, that got merged (ie, it might have been linked to ABCD124.CAD that then got merged into ABCD123.CAD).

Now I want to run a query on MFC_CIBC_XREF and find all the records where for each BankAccount.Currency, there is more than one Fund.GeneralLedger. I don't really know that much SQL, and even in Design View, I'm not sure of the statements to use. Any help is much appreciated.

Forms :: Drop Down Select Control Box - Scrolling Through Records In Table

Aug 14, 2013

I have a fairly large table with approx 15k records. I have a form where I have a drop down/select control box that displays all of these records showing a few of the fields. I select one of these records to create a new record as it places one of the fields into the new record. The problem is that there are so many records that it takes a lot of scrolling to get through all the records.

Once I scroll through all the records, the next time I scroll, it is very fast and shows all the records in one scrolling. However, when I get off the form and then go back it starts over with all the records having to scroll through etc.. What I want to be able to do is have all these records loaded so that they can be scrolled through quickly the first time I open up the form.

Eliminate TextBox

Jul 9, 2007

hello,
another problem that I have is as follows:

I have 2 txtBoxes and a button (txtA, txtB, btn). When opening the form I fill in txtA and txtB. Now when clicking on the button "btn" (OnClick event), the program is supposed to compare the values in the 2 txtboxes. If they are equal (txtA=txtB), then I have to do something which is not relevant to my question. In the code I type:

if (Me.txtA.Value = Me.txtB.Value) then
' DO WHATEVER
End if

and it does not even go through the conditional statement if to do whatever I want the program to do inside the if. I would really appreciate anyone's help.

Thank you very much
PS: By the way, thank you boblarson and rainman89 for the past question, both solutions worked, I used boblarson's but I have to click on the form when it's opened in order for the changes in the table to take effect.

Can I Eliminate This Redundancy?!

Sep 13, 2007

Hello guys & gals on here.

I've been struggeling with this problem for a couple of days now and finally decided to post here and kindly ask for assistance. I've got a pretty strong OO background, but haven't worked with databases much...

I'm trying to set up a small client database for my company. The client companies have staff members (StaffClients). Client staff can attend Events and work on Projects, which I've managed via junction tables. Our own Staff can also attend Events and work on Projects.

I've uploaded my first draft of tables and relationships here:
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3937/snapjl9.jpg
(sorry for the blurred bits)

Now I think I've done a fairly good job in normalising the tables, but one thing that I keep stumbling across is that I need two almost identical tables: one for our Staff and one for StaffClients.

They are subtly different, e.g. StaffClients have some extra attributes, such as JobTitle, Department and one StaffClient can be the assistant of another StaffClient (also done via a junction table). The other difference is that client staff can have different roles in a project (MainContact or Assistant) compared to our own staff (Manager or TeamMember).

As a result of these differences I have set up separate junction tables for both Staff and StaffClients, but are obviously very similar.

My question is: Is that structure sound? Or can I simplify it somehow before setting up the forms for the data entry?

Your input is kindly appreciated!!

Eliminate Duplicates

Sep 25, 2007

Hello,

I have a problem with one of my tables and don't know where to start to fix it. This is where I stand: I have a table with 5 columns, there is no single primary key. I have duplicate entries of 4 of the 5 columns and a count number as the last column. I need to eliminate the duplicates of the combination of the 4 columns but add the count of the duplicates. Let me illustrate for you to understand better:

this is the original table:

col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
A B C D 1
A B C D 5
A B C D 2
W X Y Z 3
W X Y Z 5
W X Y Z 4

I need to obtain this in a new table:

col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
A B C D 8
W X Y Z 12

Oh, and keep in mind that the original table has almost 6 million rows that will probably get reduced to about 500 000 after this process.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Eliminate Records That Net To Zero

Apr 14, 2008

Hello All, I am looking for any advice on the following dilemma. I have a table with new monetary transactions that come in every day. I would like to have the transactions(one debit and one credit) that net to zero eliminated from the table automatically. What I was thinking was to have an abs amount column added and run the duplicates query as a delete query based on this column, but that would not only eliminate the amounts that net to zero...but similar debit and credit amounts. Does anyone have any thoughts on the most efficient way to do this? Im sure the answer is staring at me in the face, but I cant get my head around it. Thanks in advance!

Hasdata? Eliminate Error#

Oct 10, 2007

Hi i was hoping someone could help me with this. I’ve spent the last hour trying to figure it out. I'll keep trying, and let you know if i have any luck.

I have a calculation box which is based on a sub form,

(Long story short it counts stock items) when there is no stock available there is nothing to count so it returns the #Error message.

My starting expression is simply =[Child96].[Form]![QtyCalc]

I have read in this forum there is a "hasdata" function that can remove the Error#, but it may only apply to reports?

ASP Forums Link

I have tried this in an IIF statement but can't get it to work.
So far I’ve been looking at variations of the following

iif([Child96].[Form]![QtyCalc],hasdata = false,"0",[Child96].[Form]![QtyCalc])

Null can't be used, and I would prefer not to create a separate query instead of referring to the sub to calculate.

If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Forms :: Find Hex Or RGB Value For Blue Color That Access 2010 Uses By Default For Buttons On Forms?

Sep 5, 2014

Where can I find the Hex or RGB value for the blue colour that Access 2010 uses by default for buttons on forms? I need to change some buttons to yellow (I know the code for that) but later change them back to the previous shade of blue, which is shown in the Properties pane "Accent 1, Lighter 40%".

By clicking in the standard colors area at the bottom of the colour chooser I can find a very similar blue #D6DFEC but it doesn't look quite right. And the "accent" colour does not give me a Hex value.Is that "usual" blue even one colour? How can I reset a button to that style having changed it?

Eliminate Duplicate Records In A Query

Jun 5, 2007

I know there a many posts about eliminating duplicate records because I did search, but I did not see anything that really answers my question.

I have a query in a local Access database that is using a Linked table from an SQL database managed by our corporate IT department. I have read access to only certain tables / fields in the SQL database. My query is based on 3 tables from the database and I have them linked together in my query.

When managers move from one site to another, they are given a different TeamID number. However, until they are replaced, the manager will have more than one TeamID assigned to him in the SQL database. Evidentally, the way our IT has the SQL database structured, when I query open items it duplicates the record for that manager because he has 2 TeamID numbers. So the only field that comes up differnt in the duplicate records is the manager's TeamID number.

I would like for my Select Query to ignore the duplicate record. I know I can use an Append Query to copy the data temporarily to a local table and set the proper fields as Primary Keys to do this. However, it would be nice if I did not have to go to all that trouble.

Is there a way to eliminate duplicate in my Select Query?

As always, I appreciate the help.

Jim

How Do I Eliminate Brackets In MERGED Column

Nov 4, 2004

I recently MERGED two columns in a database file using the following code:

SELECT "(" & RESULT & ") " & QUALIFIER AS MERGED FROM SOIL_STL3_MERGE AS SOIL_STL3_MERGE;

The RESULT field was a number which I had to change to a TEXT field since my QUALIFIER was a TEXT field. Anyway the result was the field called MERGED which depicted the data as follows:

(100) U
(500) U
......
.......
I use the Find and Replace twice to get rid of the first ( and run it again to get rid of ) resulting in a field that looks like this:

100 U
500 U

My question is can I solve this through an UPDATE query statement through SQL or some other way with a function.

I would rather automate the removal of the ( ) or change my original code to NOT put brackets around my result.

Any and all help is most appreciated.

I thk you all in advance.

Eliminate Blank Line In Address

Apr 28, 2008

[Solved] I have a report that is based a query formed from 2 tables. The query pulls the address from one table for a client from the other table. This address then appears on the report. There are 6 lines for the address: Company Name, Contact Person, Person's Title, Address 1, Address 2, City/State/Zip. I have this working fine, until an address is shown where there is no Title, or Address 2. Then a blank line is shown. Any suggestions on how I can eliminate the blank line if there is no information to show?

How To Eliminate A Comma In Name Fields / If Field Has Only One Name

Feb 27, 2015

I am using Access 2013 and have created a music inventory database.I have a question about formatting some text in a table. One of my tables has the following fields:

tblArtist
Artist ID
DVD Number
Artist Last Name
Artist First Name
Artist Full Name

In my form, I want the artist's name to appear like this:

Mozart, Wolfgang
Dylan, Bob
Beatles
Aerosmith

I know how to format the table to do this, and I know how to construct the form for this. To format the name, in the tblArtist table, I use the following expression in the Artist Full Name field:[Artist Last Name] & ", " & [Artist First Name]

If an artist has only one name, such as Aerosmith, I enter it in the Artist Last Name column. Artists such as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, I just omit "The."When a one-name artist's full name appears in the form, there is a comma after their name.

Is there a simple way to eliminate the comma if there is no text in the Artist First Name column? If so, what is the simplest, easiest, most practical novice-friendly way to do this?
