General :: Activity Log Database - Combo Box Queries
Oct 15, 2014
I've attached my database as I have it now. I am trying to create what amounts to an activity log.
I have created my main Subject and underlying related Issues tables, and a table for my daily activity notes. I have created my main form and subforms that should be sufficient (hopefully) for my purpose. Where I am getting hung up now is making the Subject and Issues fields combo boxes and filling them.
For the top-level Subject, I want to be able to type a new one in at any time, but also have the option to choose from a dropdown on the control as well. Then, if I do type one in, the next time I try to add a new record, it would appear in the dropdown as well. I think I have to query the underlying field to drive the dropdown list, but I cannot remember how to do that.
For the second-level Issue, there would also be a dropdown in the same way as the Subject control, and I want to be able to choose from the dropdown or add a new one in the same way... but I need to make sure that the ones that appear in the dropdown are related to the top-level Subject shown in the main part of the form. Of course, I don't want to be able to add an Issue unless it is related to a parent Subject. On these things, I am totally lost.
Finally, I built my notes to show in the subform as a continuous form, which I have used only once before. I'd like it so that the notes show newest at the top. And, I'm thinking about putting a "lock" checkbox on the note record so that I don't overwrite previous notes unless I consciously go back to edit something. I'm not sure how I can make an individual note dependent on an individual checkbox in the continuous form.
Just a question, I am developing a database for the company I work for and being new to Access, I have successfully made a login menu when the database starts up. The employee selects there name and begins data entry. Is there any way to log the activity of each employee, which records they inputted, date and time and so on?
I have a database that is used by managers to log activity of staff. We wanted to allow staff to write to the DB, but not allow them full access. We decided to accomplish this by adding a VBA function to an Excel sheet that they already use every day. It allows them to select a description, start time and end time and writes records to a database containing just 1 table.
The database used by the managers periodically runs an append query, and then a delete query to update with details of entries made by staff, and then clear the table to avoid duplicates during the next append.
I'm sure those of you with experience can already guess what's been happening and are shaking your head right now. It seems like entries made while the append query is running are being deleted when the delete query runs. So potentially I append 4 records, but delete 6 as 2 new entries were made before the delete query ran.
Is there a way to delete only the records that have just been appended? Or is there a more acceptable way of achieving this without using a delete query?
Hey Guys & Gals, extreme newb here attempting to display the latest activity date in an SKU activity db in a query that spans 12 months with multiple activity dates on each of the 1,200 SKUS.
I have this so far and of course it only shows the last (DMAX) activity, not SKU related. How can I relate this result to each SKU to diplay the latest activity for each.
SELECT [Usage06-07].workorderDateClosed, [Usage06-07].qty, [Usage06-07].itemNo, [Usage06-07].Item FROM [Usage06-07] WHERE ((([Usage06-07].workorderDateClosed)=Dmax("workorderdateclosed","usage06-07","item"))) ORDER BY [Usage06-07].Item;
I need to find the frequency of client's appointment activity after their last appointment in a 4 month window.
My question is: (1) Is my SQL going to give me the last time a client was in the office within the 4 month window?
(2) What will my SQL need to like to count frequency of appointments before and after window for each client?
(3) Can I do (2) in the same SQL shown above or will I need to make a new SQL statement?
Code: SELECT tblTest.Client, Last(tblTest.AppointmentDate) AS LastOfAppointmentDate INTO tblTest FROM tblTest GROUP BY tblTest.Client HAVING (((Last(tblTest.AppointmentDate))<#4/30/2014#)) ORDER BY Last(tblTest.AppointmentDate);
Details
Date Window I need to select the clients last appointment: Jan 1, 2014 - April 30, 201
Once the last appointment has been determined for each client in that window I need to count the frequency of appointments before and after that date.
See the Main form of attached file, I would like to see contacts list box is made from drop-down list Customers. dependent
In the main form needs to select one customer (for example: Klant1), only the contacts 'de Vries' and 'Van der Linden' can be selected in the combo box of contact (in the main form) .. I do not succeed despite several attempts with macros to achieve this.
I am new to MS Access. So I am making a database for an automobile warehouse. When a new car arrives at the warehouse, it is allocated a specific parking slot (using a combo box available on the 'New Arriving Car' form).
However, once a specific slot has been allotted, the end-user should not be able to allot the same parking slot to other arriving cars, until the original car has left the warehouse so that the parking slot becomes available once again. Currently, the parking slot combo box shows all parking slots whereas it is supposed to display only unoccupied parking slots. How can I enforce this? (Note that there is a separate form called 'Exiting Car', which is filled when a car is leaving the warehouse).
Fyi, each car is referred to by a unique 17 digit code - so this is the primary key. Also, there are 120 parking slots available in all, with the slot identifiers ranging from A1, A2...A12 to J1, J2..J12 (10 x 12 = 120).
I'm trying to secure my database so users can't edit tables, forms, reports, queries, etc.I'm splitting the database, making an ACCDE for users:
1. I inserted code to disable the bypass key. 2. I inserted code to hide the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in the On_Load sub of the form that opens with the DB. 3. Deselect Navigation Pane, Allow Full Menus and Allow Default Shortcut Menus are deselected 4. Then, I use the immediate window to show the QAT, I then create an ACCDE.
How do I link this ACCDE with the original ACCDB? Am I supposed to delete tables from the front end and link the forms/reports to the back end DB?
I routinely export queries etc from my development database to the 'live' master database used by users. Every so often I get the error message 'The database Mydatabase.accdb is read only'. Then I can't export anything to it. I don't know why it should suddenly become read only. How do I make the database changeable, and not read only?
Not really sure how to word this as I'm not sure if I even understand. Basically I have been asked to set up a database logging distubances and need to display on the form 3 different dates (action by, monitoring period and date to close case) from the date the data is entered, depending on the disturbance chosen.
So if there was noise nuisance the action date would be 7 days, the monitoring period would be 14 days and the closing date would be 90 days. This would be different from, say dog fouling. When the user chooses the disturbance from the combo box I need the dates to reflect the deadlines for that disturbance.
I have entered the number of days to add onto the table containing the disturbances (ie 7, 14 etc) and know how to add these days onto the original date.
How do I make this happen depending on the disturbance selecting.:confused:
I have to write piece of code to achieve the following:
1. When the Form gets opened then timer will start. 2. It will fire BtnClose_click event automatically after 10 minutes if there is no activity for 10 minutes. 3. Whenever BtnSave is clicked by the user then reset the timer.
I have to write a code in a form so that if nobody is doing any activity for 5 minutes then after 5 minutes automatically press Close button named BtnClose in that form.
I'm an Access newbie and I'm having trouble restricting a combo box on a subform based on the selection of the combo box on the form.The combo box (Combo1) on the main form (FrmOrganisation) gives a list of companies, I want the combo box (Combo2) in the subform (SbFrmEmployees) to list people only from that company. I then have a subform within that subform that displays information about the employee.
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
I have a database that is used to create Quotations. After all of the information is entered the queries that hold the calculations must be run. I have lots of calculated that rely on other calculated fields. When I need to Sum all of the calculated fields in one field I must create a new query. I currently have a QuotationID, PartID, and MetalID all linked together. The first of the calculations are done per Metal, and these are working fine. I run into a problem when the calculations need to be done by part. My Queries are creating a record for every Metal and this is throwing all of my numbers off.
hi All, I've included an extremely cut down version of my database (33k zip file) with the example I'm trying to do.
There is a Combo Box (three options), I basically want this box to switch to the relevent record. (e.g. if you select Rural, it will switch to the next rural record) Rather, the combo box is changing the field of the current record to Rural which I don't want it do. I also want the ability to "Filter by Selection" too which it does but it just changes the current record :(
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! It's been driving me crazy for days now.
If you click on "FOCUS OF SERVICE", the combo box in question is called "AREA" that is located up the top.
See the Main form of attached file, I would like to see contacts list box is made from drop-down list Customers. dependent
In the main form needs to select one customer, only the contacts 'de Vries' and 'Van der Linden' can be selected in the combo box of contact (in the main form) ..
I do not succeed despite several attempts with macros to achieve this.
I have created a combo box on a form using the combo box wizard. The combo box is linked to a table, and the combo box user's selection is supposed to be entered into a table so I can use it in reports, etc. The form works great. However, when I go to the table field that is supposed to have the newly entered combo-box selection, it contains only the record number, not the field contents chosen (by-the-way ... the record number and the record ID are the same ... maybe it is showing the ID??) Either way, why won't the table show the correct user choice from the form?
I have at present 2 combo box's that filter, now....... the 1st combo box is a drop down value list that will filter the OPOwner (persons name) for example there are 3000 records and 5 OPOwners, I can for now filter my name in cboOPOwner combo box.
The 2nd box (drop down list) is Status which would be "New";"Open";Pipeline";"Lead" ect...
If I filter my name it brings up all records related to my name and the when I want to filter status it will bring up all records relating to say 'Pipeline' however it will bring everyone's ;Pipeline and not just mine.
What I want is to filter my name in the OPOwner combo box and once all records are filtered in my name then in the status combo box filter what ever I want to look at. example what I want to filter - 'Filter Neil' then 'Filter Pipeline, or filter Lead or New'.
This is the code I have in both combo's....
Private Sub cboOPOwner_AfterUpdate() If Nz(Me.cboOPOwner.Text) = "" Then Me.Form.Filter = "" Me.FilterOn = False ElseIf Me.cboOPOwner.ListIndex <> -1 Then Me.Form.Filter = "[OPOwner] = '" & _ Replace(Me.cboOPOwner.Text, "'", "''") & "'" Me.FilterOn = True
I have a form with a combo box (it has two states (In process / On file)) and a checkbox and I need that when the checkbox is checked, change the status of the combo box..The combobox and checkbox are in different tables (Assigned and Movements, respectively) and refer to different types of data.
The checkbox Refers to a set of tasks FINISHED, then, if that's the case, They must change the values of the ComboBox That has two values or options (In process / On file). Note: These two values are searched fields in a table "Status", and searches for values in a table with the wizard searches
For example: While ComboBox contained in "In Process", the checkbox is unchecked and if this "On File" checkbox is marked.
I got a COMBO BOX with 2 columns , for instance code and name.
CODE NAME 123 JOHN 124 JACK 125 BILLY 126 MARY
In the OPEN form action which the form using this combo to do some query action, I want to put a default value to this combo box after a VBA query result of which should return a name to this form. Just want to know how to put the result to this combo box, e.g. when the VBA query return a name Billy. What's the syntax to make this combo box equal to Billy and do corresponding query?? Thans a lot!! FOr the time being I just know the following syntax, but since the combo box got 2 columns and how can I know Billy is located in the third record?
I am hoping to do a report all my queries in my Database.
I have managed to use some sql code to list the queries which is the following:
SELECT MSYSOBJECTS.Name FROM MSYSOBJECTS WHERE (((MSYSOBJECTS.Type)=5) AND ((Left([NAME],1))<>"~"));
But i cant seem to get any further i would also like to include the creation date, the description if any, the tables associated with each query, as i know i have a good few queries which maybe duplicates i just want to clean it up.
