From Form To Query - Access Newbie
Aug 24, 2005
Hi all. I am fairly new to access and am trying to do something that shouldn't be that hard. I have a simple form with one text box and a command button on it. I have the command button set to run an update query.
My problem is that when I enter data and press the button, I don't know how to get the entered data into the query?
I know this is simple to do, but since I am new to access, I can't figure it out. Does anyone have a simple example or step by step details that they can share with me?
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.
What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.
Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:
If criteria X is the same, just display one record.
Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm designing a database for work and am using buttons instead of the navigation features already standard with access.
I need some form of code?? for my button. I want a user to be able to click this button when finished entering data; access will then save the data, close the form and return the user to a main menu, like a switchboard.
Any suggestions or indeed code, lol, would be very helpful
Regards

Ok, I've been given a task to create a hierarchy diagram for my company, unfortunately the diagram has to be created using one excel spreadsheet. I would prefer it if the database could be created using the smallest amount of user input, so all he user has to do is import the spreadsheet to access and hit a button then the hierarchy is created.
I'm currently only going one step at a time, trying to sort the data from the spreadsheet using queries. But this is the problem:
Raw Data table
ID, Firstname, Lastname, Status, SupervisorFirstName, SupervisorLastName
Table1
ID1, Firstname1, Lastname1, Status1, SupervisorFirstName1, SupervisorLastName1
The idea is that the hierarchy diagram should start with the boss and move down to the mere siblings like me, and everyone will be connected. But for one reason or another this isn't the case, so at the moment I am trying to move the persons record if their supervisors name is not in the tree, so the SupervisorFirstName and SupervisorLastName are not in the Firstname and Lastname column.
I have been using the following SQL
INSERT INTO Table1 ( ID, LASTNAME1, FIRSTNAME1, Status1, SUPERVISORLASTNAME1, SUPERVISORFIRSTNAME1 )
SELECT ID, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, Status, SUPERVISORLASTNAME, SUPERVISORFIRSTNAME
FROM RawData
WHERE (((RawData.SUPERVISOR_FIRST_NAME)=FIRST_NAME) AND (RawData.SUPERVISOR_LAST_NAME)=LAST_NAME);
When I change the LastName to "SMITH" I know how many records I should get and it works, but how can I go through both columns finding any matches??
I may have described this quite badly so if you need any more info please let me know.

Hi all,
I'm just having a dabble in VBA for Access so I'm fairly newbish!
I have a field [Reference Number] that increments in the table by 1 everytime - but the user has to enter this manually (its not auto-incrementing). How can I do the following: when the user selects a new row in the table it will automatically look in the table for the last entered [Reference Number], increment it, and put that value in the Userforms TextBox??
Hope you understand this,
TIA

I hope this is the correct place for this type of question.
I have two tables, let's call one the "record table" that holds each record of interest. Let's call the other one the "rule table," as each entry is a "rule." The two fields of the rule table are rule and description.
I have a form with a list box and a text box. I'd like the user to be able to choose a rule from the list box and this would control the "rule" field in the current record. However, I'd like the text box to display the description corresponding to that rule, by looking it up in the rule table.
I know I've probably made it sound very complicated, but I assure you I'm trying to do something very simple here. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

I am fairly new to Access, so please bear with my hopefully easy to answer questions. I am trying to create a database for a university where we input all of our student leaders information (name, email, student ID number, etc) along with the groups they are involved with so we can track and see who is involved with alot, and so we have easy access to their contact info if we need to do that. Anyway, I have already created a database to take in all the information and spit out the reports. It is probably pretty messily put together, but like i said, this is my first time working with Access on this scale.
My question is, when I created a report to display all the students involved with a specific activity, I ran into a bit of a problem. There are two students with the same last name, and for the activity in question, they both should be shown. However, it only shows one of their names (I have it set to show the last, first) but it shows both of their activity status. What am I missing to be able to split the names show its shows both names?
Here is a link to download the access file, and perhaps someone can tell me how to fix it.
http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/440a2a54me2cd2c62/bc/access/Involvement+DB.mdb?bf8mTJFBardSN6ge
All of the sensitive information has been removed. It will still work without it though.
Thanks!

I am trying to learn first how do i lock a db so that it will keep users from tampering with the forms and queries, second i am trying to learn how can i transfer the form, queries, etc. to a new ms access database without having to recreate them all over again. I recieved updates from a source of mine and it contain new information, the old database is archived. And the new db with new information is keep separate from the old information in the new database so i had to recreate the form everytime.

I have a table (Master) that contains columns such as MsgLocation, MsgName, MsgScript, and MsgTxt. I want to create a form where the user would have an area to type in a 'string' and when they hit enter (or select a button), a (background) query would execute a lookup on master "where MsgTxt LIKE %string%"... For example, if a user wants a list of all MsgTxt values that contain "Please hold" they would type in a box "Please hold" and the query would use %Please hold% in the search criteria.
I don't have a clue on the first thing to do to get this done. And I'm new at this...
Thanks!!!!
Mary :)

I've been looking through the help for this.. but I can't figure it at all...
Simply... I've set a click method for command button on form to requery some fields. In effect it's a refresh.
What I would like to do it set the same command buttons gotfocus method to call the click sub.
Private Sub Refresh_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Refresh_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70
Me!SelectMSN.Requery
Me!LesseeSubForm.Requery
Me!ReviewSubForm.Requery
Me!InsSubFormQuery.Requery
Me!SecuritySubForm.Requery
Me!AssetSubForm.Requery
Exit_Refresh_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Refresh_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Refresh_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Refresh_GotFocus()
Refresh_Click
End Sub
Reason being the gotfocus is called from another 'input' form and I want to data to be visible in main form after a save/close button i've created.
Thanks.

Hi
I'm new to ASP and I need to connect my webpages to an Access database I have created. I would do this in dreamweaver normally but I'm having trouble using the custom connection string function to do this. So I was hoping someone could explain how I would do this by coding it instead.
The code my web host provide to connect to a database is below. If someone could explain to me how I would use this to connect to a database, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

"Persist Security Info=False"
oConn.Open(sConnection)
oConn.Close
Set oConn = nothing

Hi to everyone firstly!
i am a firefighter, we have a set number of personnel on my watch, we work 3 days of duty, each day of duty each member of the duty crew are allocated tasks, not everyone can do all of the tasks!
the tasks are :-
one person drives the fire truck
one person drives the aerial ladder fire truck
one person fills the other crew position on the aerial truck
one person is the duty-man for the day
not all personnel can do everything, some don't drive, some can't drive the aerial truck but can be the other crew position
if we have more crew members than we need one or more may be sent out to another station
what i want to know is can a data base be set up, entering data to state who did what on each actual duty day and then the database will make a report to say which watch member is next to take a turn in each position?
there a some variables, some can't drive any fire truck, some can drive the fire truck but not the aerial truck and two personnel can't be on the aerial truck who can not drive it!
sorry if it doesn't make sense!!!!
i do have a vague outline knowledge of access, i can fill tables create forms and switchboards, do basic queries and reports
many thanks
Pete

Hello,
Hoping some one could assist me? I am busy designing a database which I am going to put in access.
I have designed the tables and am now not sure how to link them. I was given an excell spreadsheet with headings and am now trying to make this into a database. Example : I was given Co-ordinator Name - Which I now split up into:
Co_First_Name
Co-Last_Name
Co_Initials
Co_Area_Code
Co_Tel_Number
Co_Mobile
Co_Email
Now there other fields like this , for example Regional Manager Name - which I have split up as above into a seperate table.
These fields all relate back to one Code - Called District
There are also a fields which needs to show the a fee required the fee paid and fee outstanding/balance .
The rest of the information required I can create check boxes for , I hope!
Anyway my question is how do a relate all these different tables together?
This is my mental block. And the check box tha information - is it stored a another table? I hope I am explaining my self correctly and I hope some one can make sense of my question

Okay, I have two questions.
First, if I have a table, and I want to combine two records together, how would I accomplish this? For example, say I have the following table.
NAME SALES
Bill 2000
Jim 500
Ted 1000
And by some miracle of science, Bill and Jim are able to fuse together to become Jill, combining their sales together. So the new table would look ilke this.
NAME SALES
Jill 2500
Ted 1000
My second question is, say I have an extended list of the same table with 30 names and corresponding sales. However, I want to find out Ted's percentage of sales of the TOP 15, not all 30. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks so much in advance for helping out a complete newbie. :)

Hi all, I am new to working with databases. My question is, how do you retrieve the autonumber ID of a field for a row just inserted into a database.
I have read numerous threads/articles, but none give me a clear picture of what the code actually looks like, just pieces(which is like greek to me). Could somebody tell me where I can see a working example of the code?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.
The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields.
-Unit part number
-Diameter of wheel 1
-Diameter of wheel 2
-Diameter of wheel 3
-Diameter of wheel 4
-Diameter of wheel 5
-Diameter of wheel 6
-Diameter of wheel 7
-Diameter of wheel 8
So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields:
- Diameter >530
- 530> Diameter >540
- 540> Diameter >550
- 550> Diameter >560
- 560> Diameter >570
- 570> Diameter >580
- 580> Diameter >590
- 590> Diameter >600
Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?
Many thanks!!!

I’m trying to create a DB with some field validations. I have a field named ‘Value’ and a field named ‘Doubled’. Value is in a currency format. ‘Doubled’ is in a Y/N format. I want a to create a rule that prevents the value ‘Yes’ from being entered in the ‘Doubled’ field IF the value in the ‘Value’ field is greater than .60. How do I do that?
I entered "[Value]< .6" but that wouldn’t allow me to put any value in the ‘Value’ field – it popped an error every time.
Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Here it is...
I need to make my form prompt me for an account number and have the fields in the form populate with any data that the tables contain for that account number.
If there is no account number in the table like that, I need it to make a new record.
Any ideas?

So I read through about 50 posts trying to find one that resembled mine, but unfortunately I couldn't.
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
I would like to set up a database for reservations of meeting rooms at my place of employment.
My experience with Access is very limited, and I find myself getting stuck. What is making things difficult
for me is the fact that I would like to set up the interface so that people with absolutely no Access
background could still use it. This means I am using the calendar tool for people to input the date
of their reservation and giving them a command button to submit. That part works just fine, however,
I am having difficulty in making a query that works through a form so that people can use the same
calendar set up to inquire what reservations have already been made. I also am having a hard time with
figuring out how to limit people from double booking rooms (i.e. i don't know how to limit just the time,
and not the date or room). I would appreciate any advice on how to get this project started, so that
I can move further along and be back on here to ask more questions when I get stuck again. Thanks
in advance for your help.

I have been reading this is how I am able to articulate my problem with some degree of knowledge.
I have 3 tables as Follows:
Table 1. [ID]pk, [Contestant Name],[Event],[Category],[Class]
Table 2. [ID]pk, [Judge Name],[Event],[Category]
Table 3. [ID]pk, [Contestant Name],[Event],[Category],[Class],[Score1],[Score2],[Remarks]
Table 3 is a record of score from a specific Judge to a specific contestant. There will be a record for each contestant from each judge that is judging that specific [Event] & [Category]. therefore if there are two judges and two contestants there will 4 records entered into the table.
Problems 1. (I can't get my tables related properly)
I should not have to enter the duplicate information each time I enter a record into the Table3. The common information should be available within the other tables using queries.
Why i think I have problem 1:
There is a many to many relationship here on the parent form what i want is the [Judge Name], [Event], [Category].
On the related Sub form i want to see a query that shows me parts of tables 1,2,3 for each Contestant that is entered in the matching [Event],[Category] combined with the query of 1,2,3 and be able to enter this judges scores against the contestant Name and then when I change to a new judge I may see the same contestants but be able to enter a new score record against that contestant with a different judge.
In English
Assume you are a judge for a contest you have a form in front of you
Parent form Select your Event, Name, Category from a pull down box in the sub form you are presented with a list of Contestants that are on stage. You enter Score1 & Score2 for each Contestant and the record is created.
Judge #2 is doing the same thing
He selects his Event,Name, Category from the pull down menu on the Parent form and walla the subform populates with the same contestants as Judge#1 and he enters his Score1 & Score2 into the subform
and
What we have is 2 Judges, 5 Contestants and 10 Records created into Table3
Sorry for the length but the last part helps me visualize what I am trying to explain.
End result is I can't get it to work is this a job for a union query ?

Hi,
I have two tables.
1. Customer (Id)
2. Transaction (Customer1Id, Customer2Id)
I want to delete all records in Transaction where Transaction.Customer1Id or Transaction.Customer2Id are not matched against the Customer.Id value.
I realise this query is very simple but I cannot get it to work in Access. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
