Give User Ability To Select Different Time Frames On A Report
Aug 11, 2015I want to give the user the ability to run a report but display records based on different user defined time frames. So when I run the report it allows (on the Enter Parameter Value prompt) user to enter 30, 45 60 etc (to represent days). The report then looks at all records with a start date in the next x days based on what user enters
For a separate report, I want to be able to run the same report but give user (based on drop down) ability to view all reports or only those from today's date only.
SEARCH Button To Give Results On Listbox
May 7, 2013How to create a search BUTTON to give results on the listbox after a user typing the desired keywords to search.

Attached is the database...
And also, how to put Reset BUTTON - to reset the search box and ready for the user to type again.

Retro-fit Workgroup Authority Model To An Access 2000 Application
Jan 31, 2006Hi,
I've been working hard at learning Access for past two months and spent a lot of time Googling and speeding through Alison Balter's books and at a slower pace the Paul Letwin’s Developers Handbook set (fantastic but I probably need a year to absorb the incredible detail).
I've built a prototype reconciliation tool using the recommended FE-BE model. I opted for a total ADO solution and have had great success in putting together a fast and useful tool for 10+ users.
I avoided using Workgroups in my design and developed my own basic sign-on authority model which allowed an Administrator (don't confuse with Admin user in Workgroups) to add new users who can use the Access app. The allowable users and which ones are signed on are stored in the BE. This all works reasonable well until network issues occur and the signed on user record on the BE is not reset as should be if the user signed-off genuinely.
This is where I realised I need to be able to monitor who is connected to the BE. There is a way of doing that using ADO which I can get to work. I then noticed because all users are signed on with Workgroup Admin as default I could not differentiate between users. I then decided to implement Workgroup authority retrospectively.
I decided to place the .mdw on the LAN with the BE (this seems to go against conventional wisdom but could not workout how else I could achieve what I wanted to). This enables the two Administrators in different places to maintain users via the FE. I use the /wrkgrp command line flag to point to the correct .mdw.
I then started getting all sort of problems . . .I'm still in testing . . . not so bad but deadlines are looming and I'm worried.
Sorry, I digress. . .the problem I seem to be getting is when I open the FE :
Run-time error -2147217843 (80040e4d)
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user
I also have problems developing the FE with the workgroup file in place. It seems to complain about another user is locking the FE.
The problem is a little verbose but just trying to paint a picture . . .now, this is what I'm after. . .I need the following ability:
1. Two Administrators who can maintain users. When a new user is added the Administrator chooses a password.
2. When the new user signs on the user is prompted to enter new password.
3. The administrators can view who is genuinely signed on and reset accounts appropriately.
I am currently studying the Access Security sections in the Paul Letwin book to better understand what is going on. It does seem retro-fitting an app to a workgroup model is not straightforward. Admittedly, I should have considered Workgroups in my design before starting (I will know).
Thanks for staying with me if you're still reading . . .any suggestion/pointers would be great.
Lastly, using Access 2000 : O/S W2000
Forms :: Non Matching Records To Give Message Box?
Dec 11, 2013I have two tables, categories and items. I have a form that is linked to the categories table and a subform that is linked to the items table. The user selects a category on the main form then an item to add to the category on the subform. (all of this is functioning correctly - but you need to understand for my question.)
Both the form and the subform have a text box that displays a record from their respective table, for the example we will call this color.
What I need to do is create code that checks the color text box from the category (main form) against the text box for the item (subform) and if they are not a match I need to display a message box - from where I can then add the necessary actions.
EDIT: note this is not a query on an entire table or 2 it is just comparing the two text boxes on the form and subform
Forms :: Can't Give Conditions On Validation Rule?
Jun 1, 2015Can't we give conditions on Validation Rules? (Like IIf)

Forms :: Give Warning When Switchboard Form Opens?
Oct 2, 2014I have a table which holds information relating to a fleet of vehicles; each of these vehicles is currently physically checked on a daily basis for a number of items, one of which being to check that the vehicle has valid VED (tax disc).
With the paper disc being abolished now, we have a situation where the individual using the vehicle cannot be certain about its VED status (the chances of one not being taxed is next to nil, but we are talking a fleet of nearly 1000 vehicles here, so anything is possible)
Our current database has most of the vehicle information stored already, so in theory I think I only need to add a couple of fields, which will make the table structure (roughly):
FleetID
RegistrationNumber
CallSign
MobileTelNo
MOTExpiry
VEDExpiry
With the latter two being the added fields.
Now, what I was wondering.....
Is it possible that when a Form (not related to the table, and most likely the main switchboard form) is opened that both the MOTExpiry and VEDExpiry dates are checked, and if either or both of them are due to expire within 7 days or have already expired that a warning appears (vbaOKOnly messagebox would do fine) stating that there are vehicles that require their MOT & VED dates to be checked and updated accordingly)?

Forms :: Restrict User Input In Textbox Depending On What Option User Has Selected
May 22, 2013I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPrompt User To Enter Personal Password When Ticking Option Button
Mar 24, 2015I have a form in which I collect approvals from two different departments. To approve an item the user selects their name from a combobox, and then tick an option box to indicate approval. The combobox is from table 'Users' and has a query as a source with the following fields, 'UserNum, First, Last, Password'. The 'approval' fields are on table 'Approvals' and are yes/no fields.
What I'd like to have happen is that the user chooses their name from the combobox and then ticks the option box for approval; when ticked I would like a messagebox to appear asking for the users password based on the name chosen in the combobox.
Is this even possible?
Forms :: Command Button To Unlock And Lock Fields / Edit Button?
Feb 19, 2014I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...
Modules & VBA :: Word Document Load When User Click Button And Perform Email Merge
Oct 7, 2013I have a Word 2010 document linked to an Access 2010 data source. When a user clicks a button in Access, the Word document loads and performs a email merge using the below VBA code:
Private Sub Document_Open()
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToEmail
.SuppressBlankLines = True
[Code] ....
However, as the .mailsubject part is not in the loop it is only retrieving the first Return Code. I have tried to integrate in the loop to no avail. Also, how do I add static text to the Subject, I need something like "Your Return Code" + "Return Code"..
Please Help - I Give Up!!!
Dec 21, 2006I couldn't find a similar question already answered and I am stuck at home due to the blizzard here in Denver Colorado so I can't get any other resources to help. I am working on a select query where I am using two table's and another select query to pull information.
query HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3:
- AS_OF_DATE
- SAP
- ACCNTNUM
- SumOfSumOfAS_OF_BOOK_VALUE_4TH
table HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE:
- BEGIN DATE
- END DATE
- SAP
- ACCNTNUM
- SUM VALUE
table SAP DETAIL TABLE:
- Fiscal Year
- Company Code
- Account Number
- SumofAmt CoCd currency
- Cabinet
Currently the join properties include: from SAP DETAIL TABLE the Company Code and Account Number to the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM, from HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 SAP and ACCNTNUM to the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE SAP and ACCNTNUM.
There are three things that I am trying to accomplish with this query. The first is pulling down the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine. The second is pulling down the SumOfAmt CoCd currency and SumOfSumOfAS_OF_BOOK_VALUE_4TH which matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields which works fine.
What I'm trying to do for the third is to only pull the SUM VALUE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE that matches the SAP and ACCNTNUM fields and also where the AS_OF_DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH QUERY #3 is between the BEGIN DATE and END DATE from the HOLDINGS HASH CGAAP ADJUSTMENT TABLE.
This query will then be the output for a report.
In order to accomplish the third task I have tried to complete a SELECT statement and a IIF statement that have not worked. I am sure the select statement would work but I just can't figure it out. Any help would be very very much appreciated.

Trying To Give Each Occurance An ID
Sep 6, 2006Hi Guys, Ive been struggling to create a query, I wonder if anyone knew how to do this.
I have data setup basically like this: -
Code Customer
A CustA
A CustB
B CustC
C CustD
D CustH
D CustI
E CustE
F CustF
G CustG
Is there a way i can make a count work to show like this: -
Code ID Customer
A 1 CustA
A 2 CustB
B 1 CustC
C 1 CustD
D 1 CustH
D 2 CustI
E 1 CustE
F 1 CustF
G 1 CustG
So if there is more than one customer, the ID will accumulate until the code changes so it will revert back to one again.
Hope someone knows how to do this.
Thanks

About Ready To Give Up On Access
May 12, 2005I work at a Phamaceutical company in the US (based in London) and have a database that tracks atypical events. It has normally about 10 concurrent users and continually (once a week sometimes more sometimes less) corrupts. I have spent a lot of time validating the database writing the user requirements, functioanal and design specs as well as a 150 page IOPQ.
It is a split database with both front and back ends on a file server. I know this is not the best way to do it but the database is frequently updated with requests for new reports etc and I am not sure how to push down the front ends to all the use pcs. The database is about 40 mb.
I like the database. It is fully audit trailed and does what I need it to do, but the corruption thing is driving me batty. I have the jetutils with the viewer to see who is in the db (by pc name) and then I cross reference that to the person in the db and call them to get out. It is a real pain in the arse and I am just about ready to agree with the IT guys that Access is not a multi user database.
Should I scrap Access and go to SQL Server?
Can I Add A Column To A Table And Give It A Name Using VBA?
Feb 22, 2008Hi all
I am currently building a holiday planner for my employers and I would like to try and display the days of the year as rows and the staff as columns (Fields). When someone adds a new member of staff, I would like it to also add them to the calendar table as a new column and name the column the same as the individuals name. Is this possible using VBA or SQL string?
If anyone has a better idea as to how I can display the forthcoming holidays for a team I would really appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Diff Expresions Should Give Same Result But Don't!
Sep 22, 2006I've got a table in which there are 20 numeric columns. For one report, I want to add all of the data in those columns together. I used the expression:
Seats: Sum(DailyActivity!PkgSeq01Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq 02Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq03Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgS eq04Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq05Cnt+DailyActivity!Pk gSeq06Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq07Cnt+DailyActivity! PkgSeq08Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq09Cnt+DailyActivit y!PkgSeq10Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq11Cnt+DailyActiv ity!PkgSeq12Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq13Cnt+DailyAct ivity!PkgSeq14Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq15Cnt+DailyA ctivity!PkgSeq16Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq17Cnt+Dail yActivity!PkgSeq18Cnt+DailyActivity!PkgSeq19Cnt+Da ilyActivity!PkgSeq20Cnt)
Where dailyactivity is the name of the table, and pkgseq01cnt is the name of the first column, etc.
The expression returns the number 961.
If i make a query where i sum all of the columns individually, and then a query based off of that query where i add all of the sumed columns together, i get the number 965. (which, as far as i can tell, is the right number)
the expression in the second of those querries is:
Seats: Sum([seat]![SumOfPkgSeq01Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq02Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq03Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq04Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq05Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq06Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq07Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq08Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq09Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq10Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq11Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq12Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq13Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq14Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq15Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq16Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq17Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq18Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq19Cnt]+[seat]![SumOfPkgSeq20Cnt])
where 'seat' is the name of the first query that sums the columns.
I think those two ways should both come up with the same number - but i can't figure out why the first way is missing four! there are thousands of rows so it is hard to go through the table itself. Also, in both of those ways, the querry includes a 'where' column which limits it to rows where another column equals a certain word - but that's relatively straight forward - dont' know why that would make it different.
any ideas?
Thanks! It's driving me crazy!
Making Query Give Me Anything For Dates BETWEEN 10/01 And 10/15
Nov 10, 2006Hi!
I'm trying to write a query that will display my data for anything that has a date between 10/01 and 10/15. I went into the "Build" area and looked at the "functions" available but none of them sound right - and the one book I have on Access is not so great.
Can someone help me with the correct formula?
Thanks!
Can Someone Give Me Some High Level 'pointers' ?
Oct 25, 2006Can someone give me some high level 'pointers' ?
Simply (although not for me) I am trying to build a form that involves a unique identifying number being entered, a button being pressed and relevant field belonging to that unique identifying number being displayed in a subform.
For example, I might want to enter a customer number, press a button and all the orders made by that customer appear in a subform.
Any help gratefully received !
Thanks.
Subdatasheet Not Sufficient, Please Give Alternative
Dec 28, 2004What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below.
ProductDescription
Is blue
Is large
Is heavy
Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help,

General :: No More Records Available To Give Message
Dec 11, 2013I have a table that is a list of available UPC codes that through forms are being assigned to several different tables (types of items). When the UPC code is assigned, there is a yes/no box which is checked. I need to have a message box appear when the last of these UPC codes has been used (or better yet perhaps when there are a specific number left - such as 10 - so the user isn't all of a sudden locked out of any more work).
It could even be triggered when a specific UPC code is reached - they will be in numerical order (ignoring the check digit). Is there anyway to do this globally or would the check need to be on each form as the UPC is assigned?
