I am creating a DB for race results and have a field which calculates the elapsed time based on the start and finished times. What I want to do now is populate a field "position" with the finishing position relative to other competitors elapsed times in the race. But I cant see how to do this.
I understand I would probab;y have to use some sort of query but not sure how to create it.
I am new to using access but have managed to build a database that I use to find qualifiers for horse racing based on stats I import for all the racers in the days racing. I have a query which shows the date, time, track, horse and trainer but some races have more than 1 selection so I want to add a field that counts the number of qualifiers per race. I am finding it hard to do a countif, date AND time & track are all the same within that query.
I also want to add another show the total runners in the race but this will have to look into the tables where the query is run from. Hopefully I can figure this out when I find out how to solve my original problem.
I want to add a number to my results within a query depending on the month and how many results. For example I have 10 results in my query 3 from January, 5 from March and the rest from April. The 3 from January would be 1,2,3. The five in March would be 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. Is it possible to do?
I'm using access 2003.
I am a newbie to ms access and forms and I have a small problem with a form. The solution has lots of different forms with different tabs for each section. This particular tab has a few sub forms in it. When I switch into the specific tab in question, the screen moves down ever so slightly and I always have to scroll up to see all the other tab headings.Is there a way to do something by code or a property setting I can use to make the page start from the top without users having to scroll up each time?
I hope I have explained myself clearly enough, if not I will be more than happy to provide more info.
Is there an automatic way of moving the cursor when an outlook email is opened using a VBA event??
Right had a look and haven't managed to google this yet but the background is as follows
I have some code that puts a recordset of people's email into outlook and leaves users with the outlook message open ready for them to append anything they want to the message body.
At the moment the cursor flashes at the very start of the message and users need to scroll down with keys or the mouse to the end before they can add additional text.
I want to automatically move the cursor to the end of the outlook email message opened using a VBA event?
I am working a database that manages student's Records including marks for various subjects, but i would like to do the following on each of the students' report cards:
a) Display the marks for all the 12 subjects .This one i have done.
b) Display a total for all marks of each student.Done as well.
c) The problem is, i don't know how to display the position of each student on the individual report cards.I want to base this grading on the total marks obtained by each student in the same class.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I have a database that I want to automatically place racers as they finish. I have four race divisions. All racers no matter the division start at the same time. I have all of this figured out, but what is getting me is the finish place (1st, 2nd, etc.) Is there a way on a continuos form to automatically place the racers? How this works is...Main form has racer info., on this form is a stop button, and after the button is clicked, it will show his/her finishing place in their division which is subform of the main form. Here is the reason I want this. Someone may have registered wrong and they are in the wrong division, and we have to change them to the correct division after they have finished and already been placed. I want to be able to move them to the right division, and then my subform requery and they placed in the correct position in the new division. Sorry this is so lenghty. Plain and simple can I make a subreport have an unbound field that shows each records place the recordset? Thanks for your help, and like I said sorry this is so long.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Only discovered Access a few days ago, absolutely brilliant tool.
Have ordered 4 books (most with the words "idiot" or "dummies" in the title!), but would appreciate some advice with a problem i can't seem to get my head around.
As you can see from my attachment, i've got a lovely database that i made.
Well, i say made.. downloaded from Microsoft templates and turned it into my own. Very proud of it!
I'm a co-cordinator for the Tresco Marathon - a full marathon run around a 2 x 1mile island all for charity (Cystic Fibrosis Trust). This database is supposed to be an efficient way of keeping track of all the entrants, if they've paid registration, if packs have been sent to them, their eventual finishing times, their running numbers etc.
I've managed to do the most basic operations in Access - a nice form that keeps allows you to add a runner, and all their details.
The problem i'm having is...
Once the few hundred applicants have been entered, we then have to assign them Race numbers... but i can't figure out how do to this.
Ideally, something like a form openable from the main form (already have a tab showing an empty box for a manually entered race number - this is showable by choosing their status as "Active") showing 1 - 130- and then whether they've been assigned to a runner already (and their name), or whether they're available.
I really am stumped on this one.
Would appreciate any help or advice in the best way to do this!
Anyone any ideas, please?
I have a table of name and address data as a back end and have put a front end of each of 12 "user" computers on a workgroup-based small network. Each user can look at on twelfth of records, the range being specified in a query on each front end PC, which, of course, means that each front end has to be slightly different.
I wonder if it's possible to assign some sort of owner system so that whenever "user1" logs on he/she gets the first twelfth of the records, user2 gets the next set and so on.
As a separate issue, can I somehow work out the start and end records needed for each user by automatically dividing the total number of records by 12 (since the master table can have a different number of records each time we get new data). At the moment I am calculating (using Excel) and inserting the ">1200 <2400" for each user.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
This may seem a bit of a strange one but I hope someone can help.
SCENARIO
1. Add a new column to a table that already has data entered in it.
2. Index this column (NO duplicates) but the field is not a required one.
3. Set it as an Auto Number.
Is there anyway of applying the autonumber to the data already in the table?
i.e. for row 1 in the table the new column gets a value of 1, the second row a value of 2 etc.
Many Thanks
Steve
Hi
Firstly let me thankyou for your help because I feel this may be a difficult question.
I have a stock control db that records transactions through purchase orders, which allocates each line item (product) in a purchase order to an employee and a project it is destined for. I have three tables, one for purchase orders, one for transactions and one for products.
I then have a seperate table for stock in and out with a two other look ups for projects and employees.
Now sometimes a product may become a stock item as it is in surplus and not used for the project.
My problem is how do I re-allocate the product as a stock item then when it is used allocated it to another project.
Basically we use an internal unique number for each purchase order and i have a query set up that will recall each product in a purchase order. The reason for this is to save time updating goods recieved when an order turns up as i call all the item in a purchase order in one go rather than going to each product one at a time to update.
I think the db may be to advanced in the set up and feel a restructure of the db is the only solution but hopefully i not. I am no means an advanced user buit have done ok so far in seeting this db up e.g. my knowledge of vba is limited etc.
This has only just come up in what is needed so it is an after thought, however is very important for the operation of the db as a stock control system.
All advice much appreciated in advance.

I have a database that uses a table to capture work by reference number. I would like to be able to allow users to only be able to see work they have been allocated.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a race league, I want to select the top 10 point scores for each member.
I have read the Allen Browne article (and many others) and tried many variations on his code but cannot get this working.
I face two issues
- The ORDER by clause has no effect, points are not sorted with largest first
- Access being unable to differentiate between scores with the same value and returning additional records. I have added an "Event" field to make the record unique, but this does not seem to work.
Query code is
SELECT qLeague.Member, qLeague.Event, qLeague.Points
FROM qLeague
WHERE qLeague.Points IN
(SELECT TOP 10 Points
FROM qLeague AS Dupe
WHERE Dupe.Points= qLeague.Points
ORDER BY Dupe.Member, Dupe.Points DESC
)
ORDER BY qLeague.Member ASC, qLeague.Points;
This returns more than 10 results per member:
Member Event Points

I am creating an access database for the results of my triathlon times and I am having trouble with the race results. Based on some information I found here, I am using number fields for the swim, bike and run times because I want to do calculations and also sort them and it doesn't sort properly if they are text.I have created separate fields for the hours, minutes and seconds for each of them.
Now I am trying to make a calculated field to convert the numbers to the following..For a swim time, I want to convert it to the time per 100m. I have the calculation for that, but the result gives me the decimal portion and not the actual seconds portion and I am stuck. Here is what I have so far :
Sw100m: (([SwMin]+([SwSec]/60)+[SwHr]/60)*100/750)
So as you can see I have added up all the number to get the total number of minutes and then converted to the minutes per 100m (the race is 750m). And the result gives me 3.31. But the .31 is a decimal and I want to have seconds which is 18 seconds. I know how to do the calculation on paper but I don't know how to change my formula to fix this. On paper I have to multiply .31 x 60. But how do I refer to the decimal portion of the number and modify my formula? how to input race times as duration in an access database.
how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a report...with one number at the end of a line, beneath is a sum() of all the numbers above.
To test this report, I have ensured there is just one line to 'sum' ....this particular number happens to be $15.82, yet the field showing the sum of this is displaying $15.83 ...I'm going potty here trying to work out where the extra 1 is being added...it's not a rounding error as there are no further decimals involved, both fields are set to 'fixed' 2 decimal places.
i have a production database application in which there are many sections. every section's product stock is generated by running a complex query.
now when i want to add the result from different sections into a one combined stock , i could not design the query as it become too large and on running it produces the error "cannot open anymore database".
i think reason might be too many queries executing at same time .
so do i need to create a table from the stock queries of each section? and then add the tables to generate the combined stock query ?
I have a database that I have created for work. On the form I have several dlookups running. A couple of them show up as expected. But most of them are showing up blank. That is until you click on the box, then the result appears. Changing the Locked and Enabled settings does not resolve this.I have the database locked up for normal users. When I access it by holding shift while opening, when I access this form, the dlookups all show the desired results. No clicking on the boxes required.
I've tried refreshing, but that doesn't work. If I write code that loops through all of the textbox controls, setting focus on them and moving throuhg the form, then the results will show up. Basically having VBA click on the boxes for me. Although this works, there is a slight lag and screen flicker as it sets focus to all of these textboxes.
I have a subform based on a query. In that query, I have calculated values for price+tax and another price+discount+tax. Now I have a conditional formatting that if the gross total is not equal to amount due, the amount due box will turn red. However even if they are equal visually, it still turns red. Ex. The gross total is 336.00 and the amount due is 336.00 also, so it should NOT turn red, but it does. When I click on the amount due control, the value turns into 335.999999195337. How do I tell access not to make 336.00 into 335.999999195337.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to get access to create amazon shipments of 15kg in weight made up of a variety of products (the shipment goes to amazon)
So I have a products table with all the weights per unit for each SKU in it.
I've just created a simple 'form', where I input the SKUs I want to send to Amazon & the quantity (this updates a temporary table), therefore I end up with this in my temporary table....
SKU QTY
XX01 15
YY01 10
...& so on.
I've made a relationship from the SKU of the temp table (the table where I'm inputting my data to), back to the product table (where the weight per unit is held).
ok, what I seek, is that each time I enter a SKU & Quantity via my form, to see some onscreen data which tells me the ongoing sum of all SKU weights I've used. Therefore I guess my question is...what functionality in Access should I be using that allows me to input data & yet also provides me with onscreen real time data based on some 'behind the scenes' calculations? From my limited understanding, a form is to get data into Access, a report is to get data out....but I want to get data into Access & see the result at the same time!
I have a parameter set on the query at run which filters by Region i.e. the box pops up and they enter a criteria..I would like to have a field entered next to Email that would take all the Email Addresses in my query result and concatenate them so essentially I have an email list I can pop in Outlook.
Or alternatively, a solution to allow access to these email lists via a button on a form. It has to be something very simple for an end user to access. For instance right now, to get there list they hit a button to run the query then enter the parameter then if desired, hit another button to export to excel. Today, they use Excel for everything and are used to having the concatenated email addresses in one cell in excel. For this reason, I am trying to have the email addresses concatenated in the query results to mimic what they are used to today. But I am not sold on it if there is a better way that is easy for them.
