General :: Adding Priority List To Database
Feb 20, 2013
I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.

I have created an access application for production system .
I have a final stock query and 2 to 3 orders based on priority and i want to create a shortage list based on priority ... here is detail :
ItemName....|Stock qty....|ORDER1....|ORDER2....|ORDER3....|
A.................|200............|40............. |90............|100...........|
B.................|500............|0.............. .|400..........|200...........|

E.................|900............|400...........| 300..........|280...........|
F.................|130............|200...........| 50............|0...............|
Now I want shortage as:
ITEM NAME |O1 SHORTAGE | O2 SHORTAGE | O3 SHORTAGE|
A................|00..................|00......... ..........|30..................|

how do you loop through and insert selected data from a listbox on at a time?For example, lets say you have an insert statement that has a firstname, lastname, CarsID(foreign key) and address field. Lets say you had another table that has ID and CarsID(primary key) field. In the listbox, you have populated it with all the cars and they are selected.
Example:
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','Honda')
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','FORD')

I want to send out my database to a client so they can add records into it via the forms i've created, but I don't want them to be able to change the coding etc. But I also want to be able to update my database and send it back out to them but obviously the records they've entered need to remain. Do i convert it to an accde and then back to an accdb, make my changes then convert again to accde?

I am currently exploring the possibility of adding another element to our Database.
Each of our courses has a scheme of work associated with it, and this is completed on a daily basis by the tutor for each student. These are currently just Word documents we print out.
Example : I already have provided provision for recording attendance in the database, see below, (it may look a bit strange, but our training is ad-hoc so slightly different requirements than a college for example).

I'm trying to create a checklist in my access database that can be assigned to different companies. Is there a way to maintain a blank checklist so that we don't have to recreate it every time we start working with a new company?

I wonder how MS Access manage to show long list of records when we want to browse them in Datasheet view.
1 - Does it load limited amount of records on start-up and then load the remainder upon user interaction (scrolling for example)?
2 - Does it care about such things automatically or natively?

I know how to setup a Replica's Priority, but where do I go if I want to change it afterwards? I have searched everywhere, or am I just supposed to create another replica and set it then?

I found this from different fourm by searching google. This is exactly what I need to do and the answer was given; however, I can't figure it out. Can someone please post a step by step instruction on how to complete the following.
Thank you!
Question
I have a datbase full of projects that must be ranked in priority order. This was simple enough but when I add a project I will likely need to change the priority rank of all the "lesser" projects. With over 500 projects adding a new project with a rank of 50 means changing all the ranks 50 and above. I want to be able to add a project and when I determine its rank I insert the rank number and every rank equal to the project just added is the indexed by 1 digit. No two project can be ranks the same, one is always more important than another.
Answer
Create an update query that sets the priority field to:
[Priority] + 1
then set the criteria to
>= new number
Where new number is the rank of the new number.
This will increment by one each priority.
Hope this helps,

I have a very basic application to manage the tasks. In the main form "Tasks" one of the field is the priority (Order by) and I have this example:
Task Priority
B 1
A 2
C 3
E 4
D 5
If the user change one priority, I need a code to automatically change the others too respecting the new priority order. For example if the user change the priority 3 to 1 for the task C, the other numbers have to change to become:
Task Priority
C 1
B 2
A 3
E 4
D 5
There is a way to do this?

I have a form presented in datasheet layout.
I set the initial sort by two columns, but I would like to keep highest priority for that initial sort, so when user wants to sort by some other columns that sort happens inside my initial sort.

I have a database where part of it consists of an Item table and a Formula table. There is a many-to-many relationship between them so I created a junction table for this purpose.
Tables
tblItem
tblFormula
tblFormula_Item_JNT
There is a column in tblFormula called [Priority] that is a lookup field. It has the values of "High", "Medium", "Low".
So here's what I'm trying to do: I have a query that searches against tblItem for all Items that have a value of No/False for a field called Item_Status. That's simple enough. But I also want to show the Priority of the Formula that the Item belongs to. When I add that to my initial query I get multiple results of the same Item if it belongs to more than one Formula, which I understand. But I really want an Item to show up only once.
I want the query to go through each Item (based on its Item_ID), look through all the Formulas it's in, and if at least one of those Formulas has a Priority of "High" then it will display "High" in a field (could be a calculated field) in the query results. If there are no "High" Priority Formulas, then look for if there are any "Medium" Priority Formulas, etc.

I have a form that has a list; the list is retrieving some names from a table.
e.g
Table name is “ITname”
and I have a filed named “name” with the following: john, peter, mike, rock.
On my form under my list I have a delete button, I want to the button to delete the selected record from the list, how can I do that?
Adding, I also have a textbox and a button which will add a new IT which is inserted in the textbox, how can I do that?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does anyone know of a way to allow a user to add further info to another field on the same record that's created by a combo box that is using the Not In List method?
Dim strsql As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim Msg As String
'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared
If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub
Msg = "'" & NewData & "' is not in the list of Callers names." & vbCr & vbCr
Msg = Msg & "Do you want to add it?"
i = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Unknown Caller...")
If i = vbYes Then
strsql = "Insert Into tblCallersName([CallersName]) values ('" & NewData & "')"
CurrentDb.Execute strsql, dbFailOnError
Response = acDataErrAdded
Else
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
I need to log a persons name & phone number without having to re enter it again the next time.
To log the name I use a combo box that lists all the previously added names & it also allows you to add further details if the name does not already exist
I now need to work out how to also add the phone number without having to manually go into the names table to add it in.
If anyone understands what I'm talking about then you're halfway there :D
See attached db
thanks

This is probably something already talked about, but if i have a combo box that has an "Add New Entry" selection in it, and when the user clicks on it, i want to add what they want in to the table that the combo box chooses from. can I have that "Add New Entry" selection open a form with a text box, and then have that value enter into the table? What is the easiest way to do this?

This is a somewhat complicated question to explain, so please bare with me.
I have a form with a ‘list box.’ The box is populated using a Table/Query Row Source Type method. The table I am grabbing the list from is “Department,” where it contains a list of my company’s departments(ie. Accounting, HR, Payroll, etc.).
Now, the only thing this table does not have is the word “ALL.” I need this word in the “List Box” because I want users to have the option to select ALL.
Is there anything in VBScript code wise or in Row Source that I can do to include this word?
I know I can manually go into the Department table to simply add the word, but this is not the point, because there is more to that(I have different list boxes that are grabbing lists from different tables, AND I have to refresh these tables twice a week). Please help.
Thank you.
Joe

I have a table Department
ID
DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT_EXPLINATION
I have a table Employee_Listing..This table includes:
Employee_ID (Primary Key)
LAST_NAME
FIRST_NAME
INITIALS
I have a table DISCREPANCY_LIST..This table includes:
DATE (Auto completes to current date)
EMPLOYEE_ID (Primary Key) (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
LAST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
FIRST_NAME (Brought over from Employee_Listing via form when initials are entered on form)
INITIALS
DEPARTMENT
NUMBER_OF_UNITS
NUMBER_OF_DESCREPANCIES
NUMBER_OF_OK_UNITS
I have a form - DISCREPANCY_LIST..This form enters information into the DISCREPANCY_LIST table.The initials combo box is set: Limit to List Yes and Allow Value List Edits No If the user enters initials that are not stored in the Employee_Listing table they receive an error. Instead of an error I would like for them to receive a message asking if they would like to add these initials to the Employee_Listing table.If the user clicks Yes, then it will bring up the Employee_Listing form.If the user clicks No, then they are told to enter valid initials.

Hi,
I have a table that has records added to it using the following VBa code:
Const MyTable As String = "tblSampleSubmission"
Const MyField As String = "SampleName"
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim intCounter As Double
Dim LastDub As Double
Dim addString As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(MyTable)
Randomize
'LastDub = Me.txtStartValue - Was only used to start the random function later in series
addString = ""
For intCounter = Me.TxtStartValue To Me.txtEndValue
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields(MyField) = Me.SamPre & intCounter & Me.SamSuf & addString
rs.Fields("SubmissionNumber") = Me.SubNum
rs.Fields("CustomerID") = Me.CustomerID
rs.Fields("SamplePrep") = Me.SamplePrep
rs.Fields("Fusion") = Me.Fusion
rs.Fields("XRF") = Me.XRF
rs.Fields("LOI") = Me.LOI
rs.Fields("Sizing") = Me.Sizing
rs.Fields("Moisture") = Me.Moisture
rs.Update
addString = ""
If Rnd < 0.02 Then
'LastDub = intCounter
intCounter = intCounter - 1
addString = " DUP"
End If
Next intCounter
rs.Close
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "mroLOIAppend"
DoCmd.RunMacro stDocName
Exit_EnterBlast_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_EnterBlast_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_EnterBlast_Click
End Sub
What I would hope to be able to do is add a "standard" randomly to each SubmssionNumber (each SubmissionNumber might be 1-100 records). The record I need to add should be chosen at random from a list of 6 or so options and added at the end or middle or start of the job (SubmissionNumber) is this something that is easy to do or should I just give up and add it manually?
Thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past, it is getting me up to speed quickly. Access seems to be quite popular as I have contacted 3 developers to help with my dB but they are all to busy to help me so I am going it alone.

I am creating a form in access. In the form there is a combobox in which I am adding items using RowSourceType as Value list and Row Source as Male;Female. What I require is whether there is some way so that when I select Male from combo box M is stored in database and with Female F is stored. I know how to achieve this with RowSourceType as Table/Query but not with RowSourceType as Value List.
