I am looking to have entries made to the table based on a date range. I have a database of events and most repeat daily, weekly, etc. When I enter them into Access, they go in as a single entry with a start and end date. But I need to have them as individual entries for each day so that rather than one entry of 5 days, I need to create 5 entries of one day each.
View RepliesUsing Access and Outlook 2010. I have a database that tracks Contracts for our University. One of the fields it tracks is Expiration Date.
Is there a way to have Access prompt Outlook to send an email to my boss when the contract is a month or within a month from expiring?I'm assuming when the database is opened it would have to run a query for expiration dates expiring within one month of today's date (which i know how to do).
I just don't know if it's possible to generate an email or some kind of message with those records/contract numbers displayed? I should also note my boss is the only one who uses this database so even if the email notice isn't possible, is there a way to show a message of what contracts are expiring soon when he opens the DB?
I have 2 tables like this
TableA
FromDate
ToDate
BatchType
TotalBatches
TableB
Date
BatchType
NumBatches
Is their a way to update the TotalBatches in TableA with the sum of NumBatches from tableB that have the same BatchType and falls between the FromDate and ToDate of TableA?
I have the following project that works as a timesheet manager:
Users enter in a form the employee name/date/hours worked/role/overtime (yes or no)/rate... on a daily basis. At the end of every week, they must create a report depending on the dates given in a query.
I have only one table (tbl_EmployeeHours) and a query to calculate the number of hours between two dates.
At the moment a report gives me all the information above (employee name/date hours worked etc..) but what I am trying to is a bit different.
I need Access to create a report (based on a date range given by the user) that would give me: per unique name, the number of normal hours worked in total, next column, the number of hours worked as overtime (rate 1.5), then, the number of hours worked as overtime (rate 2).
This means there are 3 different totals. For example, in the date range given, someone might appear twice but in the report he will appear only once with 3 different totals...
My guess:
I would say I need to create a different query for the 3 different totals (normal hours, overtime 1.5 and overtime 2). For each query you would need to ask the user to input the date range (which would not be so user-friendly I agree...). Then, I am not sure how access would create that list of names and combine the 3 different results from the queries...?
I want to input a number value in [field1], then i want [field2] to generate an auto number BUT i want it to increase based on [field1] THEN combine them into [field3] creating a unique SKU for every item I have.
EXAMPLE1: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00001"
EXAMPLE2: I will type in [field1]: "002468". [field2]will enter "000001" because it is the first occurrence of "002468" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "002468-00001"
EXAMPLE3: I will type in [field1]: "001234". [field2]will enter "000002" because it is the second occurrence of "001234" in [field1]. [Field3] will then have a value of "001234-00002"
I Have a table with 15000 entries. This table lists components we use. This table is used to generate queries/forms. I have been asked to add a hyperlink to this table to link to a drawing of the component. All the drawings are in PDF and in the same folder. I am looking for a way to automatically update the hyperlink fields all at once. The Hyperlink will be in the format of servershareddrawings12345.pdfwhere 12345 is the component name from the table.
But there are a few small problems with the component names.
1. If the component begins with a B- . The drawing name will be all the characters except when there is a second dash in the component. So if the component is B-12345-678 the drawing name will only be B-12345.
2. If The component begins with AB, The drawing will be the first 5 characters regardless of what follows, e.g. AB123.
3. Finally for all other components the full component name will be the drawing name.
Putting the naming to one side, how to go about auto generating the hyperlink. I have posted this in the table section, but maybe this should be in another section like queries or VBA.
Does anyone know how to write a simple method of having a text box on a form default to the first day of the current month. i.e. 01/05/2005 and then a second one equalling the last day of the current month i.e. 31/05/2005?
I can make it simply default to today by having the obvious =now() or =date() in the default section but i am bit stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

I would like a way to auto-generate a pdf when a user clicks a link based on available tables within my database.
Basically i have developed a pricelist database and our reps need a printable pdf version of that available items and there attributes.
I have done some research and it appears that visual studio and crystal reports may be what I am looking for. This is an access web database that is accessed housed in sharepoint.
I would like to put a date in a form the region and then a staff code and based on the three entries then auto populate the remaining cells if those three have been entered together previously. Is this possible?

I am in the process of creating a DB for customer names, job numbers and document numbers, but have run into a problem right from the start.We are using a naming convention of the first 3 letters of the customer name, and 3 numbers after that. Eg. Customer names Allstar, Allpro would be All001 and All002 respectively.
The job numbers would then be sequential numbers, for each customer. So the first job for Allstar would be All001-001 and so on.How do I get Access to check/create the customer ID's? And then how do I get Access to check for the next job number for each customer?I was able to do this in Excel with the following;
=LEFT(B12,3)&COUNTIF($B$3:B12,LEFT(B12,3)&"*") in one cell
=IF(B12="","",LEFT(D12,3)&TEXT(RIGHT(D12,1),"00")) in another to add the preceding zero's.
Obviosuly , Excel is not the best way of tracking customers, jobs, documents etc.
I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21. I know absol nothing about coding. I have looked at other suggestions on the forum incl the DMAX +1 and having tried and not worked, I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.
We have a large split database with 3 users on a single site. We will soon be increasing this to 6 users across 2 sites.
One of the fields in the main table is "report number" where a line is given a unique number. Not every line is given this number, as it depends on the finished status of the product.
The numbers are currently hand written onto a sheet as they are used, which obviously avoids duplicates. This however will be near on impossible once the database is shared across 2 sites.
the format of the number is 00/0000 where the first two digits are the year, and the last four increase sequentially.
Is there a reasonably easy way to incorporate this into the database itself, where a number can be generated as required, as apposed to every time?

Is there a way to show the earliest and latest dates of a report generated by a non-date field?
E.g. I generate a report based on Food, and it'll list the days that this food is associated with. Is there a way to show the first and last day that appears in this report (i.e. the range of dates that the report shows based on the food selected)
I have a form [IUDATA]
I have a add record button.
I have a date field [DATEIN]
I have a text field [DRPNO]
If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.
I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"
Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.
So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.
I am trying to filter out information for an ODBC query I have written, to obviously make it more concise. Because our data is not set up very logically, a lot of my queries are based on text...but that is another story. My current situation starts with a simple make-table query finding certain data within a date range. This is followed up by another simple make-table query to find other specific data within another specified date range. Then I have a cross-tab query between the two tables to locate all the data that shares the same unique identifiers. My problem lies with trying to only pull information from a certain date range. For example, I want information to be included if the data has the same unique identifier as well as falls within +/- 7 days of the received date (dd/mm/yyyy) also listed in one of the tables. Each record will likely have different received dates so I cannot set it as a constant.
Make sense to anyone? I am not confident enough to play around with some expressions...well it is more I haven't been successful at using them correctly.
All help is greatly appreciated.

ive got two tables that i need to merge.
I need the join to work so a date within table b links to a range in table a of 2 columns start and end- is it possible?
Ie
Table A
patient number
admitted date
discharged date
etc
etc
Table B
Patient number
operation date (will lie in admit dis date)
NB a patient number may exist in table A and not B, or table A twice at differnt times and B once.
thanks, ren
Hi everyone, I am hoping to learn something new about access today. What I need is to be able to run a query that gives me rows of data based on paramenters that I specify. For example, I will query this all just on one table and I want to come up with an output that is in a nice format as follows:
Parameter..........................Member Count
01/01/04 thru 01/20/04...............298
02/01/04 thru 02/20/04...............287
03/01/04 thru 03/20/04...............301
04/01/04 thru 04/20/04...............254
And so on, usually for a calendar year.
Basically each member has an effective date, like member A might have 01/15/04 effective date and member B might have 01/02/04 effective date. I need to capture the count of members by month based on their effective date range. I would like to do it all in one query like above instead of just running a query for January, then February, then March, so on.
Is there a way to do this? Right now I am just running a query and getting one member count at a time and copying that number to an excel spreadsheet. it works okay, but is time consuming. I would rather semi-automate things for me. Any ideas?
Oh and I am new to access, by no means an expert, so be gentle with me.
Thanks,
Hanna
I have a database with several clients who have a series of appointments. I want to be able to create a report of all the clients to be seen during a range of dates to be inputted by the user. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I have developed a Debt Management program for work but I am stuck on a feature that we need to add to it. Basically I have a table which holds "planned future transactions". These are ad hoc transactions that need to be added from time to time to the clients budget. For example the client might have $500 a quarter for school fees for the next two years or he might receive a bonus every six months for the next 5 years. Currently we are putting these in manually but it is tedious and is causing complaints. The feature I require is to be able to add a record such as the school fees, nominate that this fee is paid every three months for the next 8 quarters and get the system, say through an append query? to create 8 records, each with the appropriate date 3 months after the previous one.
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.
Thankyou
I have form with two date text boxes. One is start date and the other is end date. I want to query a table and only pull records that the date field is between the start date and end date.
my code I am working on is:
Dim startdate2 As String
Dim enddate2 As String
Me.start_date = startdate2
Me.end_date = enddate2
Dim SQL As String
SQL = SELECT FROM 'project' WHERE Date between 'startdate2' and 'enddate2'
DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
I am getting a error on the sql = statement, I can't seem to get the statement right.
I have a query that I want to "filter" based on a date derived from a Build statement (Expression). The Build statement works I can even sort by "Ascending".. But when I try to add a "Between [Startdate] And [Enddate] statement in the Criteria box, returns nothing".
Build statement : ReInvestDate: IIf([Eligibility]="SCI",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="TS",DateAdd("d",+1825,[PrevInvestDate]),IIf([Eligibility]="S",DateAdd("d",+3650,[PrevInvestDate]))))
I have multiple buildings that I own. Each building earns a monetary amount each day. Some days they earn $0, some days they earn $1,000. This is all kept track in a data base in which someone manually enters the information each day.The three fields are:
Building
Date
Profit
I have narrowed a query down to one building, and I am interested in two things. How do I write a query that shows a 30 day peak (the most profitable 30 days). In other words. I want to see the following
Building: GNB Tower Date: 02/14/13 - 03/15/13 Profit: $25,162
The next thing I am interested in is a 7 day peak from within these 30 days. This shouldn't be too difficult if I can figure out how to query these 30 days, I can query 7 days out of those 30 days. So this bigger mind stumper is the first one.
out of a date range of months and months (Let's say 10/12/13 - 6-14-13).Once I figure this part out, I am sure I can figure out how to compile all buildings into one large report with their 7 day peak and 30 day peak.
Context is I have a TABLE 1 that has a record for every package shipped with various details about it, include how it shipped, and the date. Table 2 is a key to go from the ship method to a better grouping we deem service level. Table 3 is a Fuel Surcharge (FSC) Table. It includes various FSC % that vary by different service levels and different date ranges. In the end I need to know the amount of pkgs shipped (by month and servicelevel) and the relevant FSC.I have several tables in my database but we should be able to focus on 3 to explain my situation and only the relevant fields:
TABLE 1 (Main Data):
ShipDate
ShipVia
Table 2:
ShipVia
ServiceLevel
FSCType
Table 3:
FSCType
StartDate
EndDate
FSCPercent
DESIRED RESULT:
Month
ServiceLevel
FSCPercent
PkgCount
Table 1 is Left join on Table 2 based on ShipVia
Table 2 is Left join on Table 3 based on FSCType
The issue is Table 3 is dependent on Table1.ShipDate being between the date ranges as well.
There are overlapping date ranges, however they are differentiated by the FSCType field.The only semi-feasible solution I currently have is to expand Table 3 to include every date, and not date ranges. This will create an issue due to size of date ranges etc.
