I have a DB that we track our wires in the building where they are going from and to. When we are adding new equipment we need to reserve a group of numbers so we can label our wires then input the data at a later time. Obviously we can't have 2 different wired with the same number or that would create havoc. In the past we would just pull a group of numbers out of thin air and see if that range was in use but that has created huge gaps in our numbering. The DB that I have we can look up gaps in numbers so we can utilize those numbers. what I am having issues with is being able to reserve the numbers in 1 shot instead of having to go in and create a new record individually for each wire number.
This error just pop up for the first time. I have compacted and repair db. I can log off db and come back in and everything seems to be working ok. Then in a few minutes it pops back in. When the error comes in none of the macros work. The db is split, using SQL as the BE. We have a script that if you delete the db on your computer a fresh db comes in and places it back on computer. I have deleted the db and that did not work.
I want to create a form in MS access for General Journal input for an accounting software. Problem is that my client required a form in which he can input as many Debits and/or credits as he likes, for one transaction on one form. For example it may be 2 debits and 4 Credits in one transaction. Its a simple one table entry with fields; TrNo (Transaction Number), Date, Type (Debit or Credit), Amount, and Narration (for details of transaction). Out of these field TrNo, Date & Narration will be same for all debits & credits in one transaction.
Basically I have a table where freelancers have multiple records for each module they teach. What I am trying to do is show all records for each person onto the same form, but anything I have followed still only brings up the first record.
This information is all on the same table, so would this be easier to be on separate tables to then create relationships?
I work for a foundry and we bring in lots of raw material for conversion to alloy. Each incoming lot is assigned a number on arrival and is then broken down and processed in batches, typically 9. Each of these batches is then assigned a number as well, again a consecutive number which also includes a letter (the letter designates the product). Process data for each batch is kept and final QC analysis data is also recorded.
My question is: how do I set up a form on which I input the lot number, customer, and source once but that fills in that info for each row in the table with which the form is associated? After conversion, I would like to be able to analyze the process data by one of those 3 values so I need them filled in in the table (I plan to pull the data from the Access table into Minitab for statistical analysis).
i have a splitview form that has a sub form which is a continuous form. On the continuous form there is a start and end date for each record. i would like to be able to change all the start dates on the continuous form by selecting a date once and hitting update or something like that.
so what i have going on is i have designers building scaffolds and adding articles to the scaffold (thus the continuous list) then a few months down the road the site planner will schedule the scaffold to be built and torn down. this will be done on this split form noted above. once that is done i need to have a date and an action applied to each article in the scaffold because i need to track usage of all the material per peice on a job site.
A little bit of context first: I am producing a database to store information on overhead line structure renewals.
I have a table called tblStrucTasks with four fields; Task ID, Structure Type, Create (specifies whether the structure is to be created or removed) and Task. I need to enter multiple records which will have the same Structure Type and Create fields but different Task fields. There are many tasks for each structure so I'd like a form where you only have to select the Structure Type and Create fields once. Some sort of list where the tasks could be typed in would then be perfect.
I'm not sure whether this should be done with VBA or queries. I'm new to databases so I don't know a lot about queries but I have a little bit of experience with VBA from Excel.
There's an inventory of products that I might take to a show (convention). What's a good way to associate the show with the product, and store that relationship in the ShowLink table?
I could make a datasheet with one of the fields a combo box, but this would get tedious if I had 100 products. I figure a better way would be to have a multiselect list box that I select all the products, then have one combo box to associate a show to it.
I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?
I have a Sales Order form that is used to input sales orders. the main form is comprised of customer and shipping information that is created from a query based on a customerOrder table while the subform is comprised of product information that is created from a query based mainly on the CustomerOrderDetail table.
I need to be able to put multiple products in the subform as a customer can order many items, when I save and close the form I look in the customer order table and see only one record for that sales order while seeing all the records in the detail table for all the products ordered for that sales order as I should but the problem I run into is the query that I have for the sales order shows multiple records for every product that was ordered on that sales order and shows up multiple times in my sales order maintenance form when I only want to see the one. if I change the query to a total query that fixes that problem and only see one copy of the sales order but makes the forms un updateable which is no good.
I cant figure out what I did to make this happen as I have a purchase order form that is setup the same but doesn't have this problem and works great, no matter how many items I have in the subform I only see one purchase order in the query and in the maintenance form.
Off of the same dB I would like to create a subform which will allow me to enter multiple records to the main table, the one attached to the main form. How to go about creating one?
I have this access "Database" that contains only one table that I'm trying to make a form for. I want it to allow the user to enter a value for field A and a value for field B then a list of values for field C (which is the key, so each would be a new record all with the same values for field A and field B). I tried to make a multiple item form but when I click on the new row for field C, fields A and B both disappear.
Disclaimer: I know that the creation of a one table database is a mortal sin but that's what my boss gave me and there are already >8000 records with a million mispelled words, so I don't think there's much I can do to make it a relational database without entering each record in again.
I am attempting to setup a database and need setting up a form that captures/enters multiple records from one form.
We have batches of case files consisting of 25 folders each. I would like to setup the form where the user only has to enter the [User], [FileGroupID], [Examiner] and [DateAssigned] just once, but also allow for the individual 25 case file numbers in that batch to be entered. (See attached image)
So far I have created 2 tables; BatchLog table which would capture the batch details that is entered once and a CaseFiles table which would capture the individual case file numbers.
I've developing a QA/QC database for testing chemical products and I'm stuck on the best way to continue with adding multiple records by using one form.
I have two tables:
tblProductSpecs with two primary keys, "ProductName" and "TestName"
tblResults with three primary keys, "ProductName", "TestName", and "LotNumber" and a number field named "Value"
A product can have multiple tests associated with it, e.g:
ProductName - TestName XXX - Density, pH ZZZ - Density YYY - % soluble, cloud point , freeze point This is my tblProductSpecs table
I want to store the "Value" of each "TestName" of the "LotNumber" of that "ProductName" in tblResults by a form. (All TestName values are number values).
I want a form where I can select "ProductName" and have the "TestName"s displayed for that "ProductName". Then I want to store the value of that "TestName" for that "ProductName" and "LotNumber" in tblResults.
The problem is that each test per product per lot number is a record and I can't figure out a way to create multiple records from one form.
I've got a table which contains about 4000 workers, all of whom are issued with an ID card using a 3rd party software which looks at the data in this table. Every 3 years the card expires and needs to be re-issued.
When this happens for a batch of workers, the Print Date needs to be updated to reflect the new date - is there any way in which I could select a number of different workers and update the Print Date field for them all at once?
I have an unbound new contact data entry form that adds records to many different tables. I have no problems adding one record to a child table at a time, but one of the things we are collecting is a list of online networks a person belongs to, and I want to be able to stick a "check all that apply box" on my form and have it add multiple records to the child table. Here's the basic set up, I have a parent table with the main contact information with a primary key field "IID", a lookup table with "Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..." etc in it with a primary key field "online_id", and a bridge table to link the two which should have multiple entries for IID, one for each online_id. I want to use a listbox (or something like it) that the user can select multiple online networks and then have records added to the bridge table. I can figure out how to add the listbox on the form, what I can't figure out is how to get the values out of the listbox. T
I work at a small mental health clinic and am trying to accomplish the following.
What I have:I have one table that lists all of the patients, their phone number, address, etc.
In another table, it lists the medications that each patient takes, as well as the strength, dosage, etc.
The two tables have a relationship via the "Patient ID" column in each table.
Most patients have multiple entries in the second table, as most patients take multiple medications.
What I am attempting to accomplish:The main form in my database simply lists all the patients names in datasheet view. I want to be able to click a Patient's name, then go to a form that lists all of that patients medications. I've attached a screenshot that encapsulates precisely what I am looking to accomplish.
Since most patients take multiple medications, I need to be able to list multiple records in a single form, grouped by medication name, just like in the attached image.
I am uncertain as to how to accomplish this. I've tried using subforms but it doesn't list the data at all? Also, it looks like an Access report can create precisely what I need, but I need to have a live form that I can use to update data real-time.
I am making a database that has to do with Preventive maintenance. Everything is going good and I came to a problem. There are recurring events. Some are weekly monthly quarterly etc all the way to 5 years. When I put in the task and a start date and the occurrence. So Say I put in a date of a task for today and its set to monthly I want the next record to be 1/13/14 for the task and go all the way up to infinity until a box is checked making it inactive.
I have a form that a user will use to search records. Upon selecting a record, there are three buttons that allows the user to look at more detailed information. This information will be on the many side of the relationship. So I will have multiple values. The called form is just a popup form that I use for several other instances, like displaying memo fields from other tables.
The problem I am having is that only one record shows up at a time on the called form. I have read through the postings and have changed the properties for Default View, Filter on Load, Data Entry, etc. Nothing seems to change the outcome. I have run the query in SQL view and have no issues. It returns the correct records and multiple rows when expecting. Why they don't show up on the form. There are no errors, just the first record from the many side of the relationship shows up in the form. I would like all records to show up, just like when I run the query.
Code:
SELECT Capability FROM Process_Meetings_Capabilities, Process_Meetings WHERE Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = Process_Meetings.Meeting_ID AND Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = 2;
Button Code
Code: Private Sub Capabilities_btn_Click() strSQL = "SELECT Capability AS Results" strSQL = strSQL & " FROM Process_Meetings_Capabilities, Process_Meetings" strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = Process_Meetings.Meeting_ID" strSQL = strSQL & " AND Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = " & Me!Meeting_cmbo.Column(0)
It basically is used to create, manage and track Customers, Parts, Work Orders and Suppliers, payments and employees.You simply create a Customer and then create a Work order that contains a list of parts and labour items.
What I want to do is to create a "Kit" of parts so that the user does not have to select each part individually when they create a Work Order. For example, if I use a mechanics workshop as an example, the mechanic may sell his "Signature 1916cc Engine" that consists of 40 different parts and some other items such as labour and other services. In this scenario, instead of the user individually selecting 40 different parts, all he needs to do is select the Kit called "Signature 1916 cc Engine" from a drop down list and all of the 40 parts and other items would automatically populate the correct Work Order Parts/Labour tables.
I would also like the user to be able to select another "kit" that would either replace all parts and labour records or append to what is already there.
I have changed the form called "Workorders" to have 2 buttons. One called "Load Kit" the other called "Save Kit".If the user presses "load Kit" a form will be displayed that enables them to select a "kit" from a list and whether they want to replace all of the existing parts and labour records or if they want to append to the existing records.
In order to create a new kit, the user can simply manually create a new work order by individually selecting each part and labour item and then pressing the "Save Kit" button. The user will then be asked to provide the short name of the Kit and the long description (I have created table called tKit). The new kit will then be saved.
It appears that the "Entered by" field that is linked to the Employee table must not be blank other wise the Workbook is NOT saved....I have tried to figure out why this is happening but can't!
The Work Order Parts are stored in "Work Order Parts" and the Work Order Labor is stored in a table called "Work Order Labor". I have created 2 extra tables called "tKitWorkOrderParts" and "tKitWorkOrderLabor" that I assume will contain the items that make up the kits..
I am trying to design a subform to allow multiple records to be entered and then uploaded to a table. I've designed the subform but it is currently pulling all of the records from the table through and all I want is a blank subform for data entry.
I have tried putting a macro in the On Load and On Open events to get it to go to a new record but I keep getting error number 2046.
I am using a form to input attendance data. I would like to know how to log an individual as being out on vacation for a week, month or so without having to input the staffs name and date for each day they are out. Would like to Enter their name once with the date range they will be away from the office.
Form 1 - text box to enter UniqueID - button to save the new UniqueID and date/time stamp I set the Default Value for UniqueID in Table 1 as Now()
Each time I enter a new UniqueID and click the button, a new record will be created in Table 1 with the entered UniqueID and current date/time in field1
This form seems to work well.
Form 2 - text box to enter UniqueID - button to update
How I can use the UniqueID entered into the textbox of Form 2 and update the corresponding field3 with a new current date/time stamp?
