View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created an MS Access 2007 for a user. When the user uses the database, it automatically saves a copy of the database. Why is this happening? I did create for the database to compact/repair each time to user closes the database. ... However, when I open/close the database, there are not new copies of the database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Access and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically respond to delete table prompts when running a macro.
Currently I am running a macro that takes about 2 hours, and sporatically asks 'are you sure you want to delete table x'. I have to check on it every 10min or so to respond 'yes' or it will pause the macro. Quite a hassle if I am busy with other tasks and forget to check it.
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?
Hi - I am an Access newbie. I would like to use Access to develop a checklist that uses a two dimensional parent table (with row and column titles) that, when a check box is selected in a given row/column location, a specific sub-table is displayed. Likewise, when certain conditions are satisfied on a given sub-table by clicking on a check box(es), I would like to indicate the status with color and/or text in the associated row/column location on the parent table. Any ideas on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Mike F.
I am doing a checklist database.
With some other data, i have a field called "Local". (combobox)
In that "Local" field i must select the place where the checklist is made.
So, i have 20 places to do checklists, and when i select one place and save the check list, i need that "local" is disable from my combobox list so i dont accidentally repeat it.
My combobox is based in a table query.
I must do 2 checklists per day for each those 20 places...
And i cant figure out how to remove those items after use them at the morning... and have them available again in the afternoon.
So I'm trying to set up a Tabular form as sort of a checklist
Example Step 1, Step 2, step3, etc etc etc
I have the form setup with 4 tabs or 4 seperate forms within 1 form (works nice) now I trying to set up my query to open the form and I have 3 tables linked to the form. see bitmap
When I add the 3rd table to the query my forms opens to a blank screen no pages and no fields ....
I wish to use message boxes that pop up when certain options are chosen, that can either be immediately cleared by clicking the 'OK' button or that disappear by themselves after a short period (10 seconds in this case). After searching the net for various options, I found the following code:
Code:
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
intReturn = objShell.PopUp("Date of Birth updated", 10, "FYI", 64)
(The 64 displays an information symbol).The box is displayed correctly and the 'OK' button works fine, but the box does not automatically dismiss when nothing is pressed.
I have a field "Permit_Date_Expired" field automatically is created by adding one year to the "Permit_Date_Issued" field.
when the "Permit_Date_Expired" field exceeds TODAYS() date I want it to automatically change the field "Permit_Holder" to say Expired is this possible?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi need a method to store an expiry date. i have a column prepared in my table but i do not know how to reach the desired result.
the date will always be different depending on certain criteria
the course length. some courses we have are valid for a month. some for 6 months. some for a year and some for only 14 days.
i can use the date add to add the date period to the purchase date but i do not know where or how to store course length to be able to use it.
i have approached this before and i had a column in my courses table as below
("m",3,Date())
i pland on haveing this type for each course and varying it as applicable but this did not work and apparantley i was breaching the fundamental rules of relational data.
Using access 2003, i would like to add a button to a form so that when clicked all the data in that record is moved (cut and paste) to another identical table, like archive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm an amateur (is there such a thing as having databases as a hobby?) with little training. I volunteered to organize a growing volunteer group I'm a part of by making a simple database for the volunteer office staff. One of the things I want it to do is make name tags for our weekly meetings. I don't want to print one for each name on our list because the list is over 400 names long with only around 35 regular attendees. I made two tables--one is the MakeNameTag table that lists regular attendees (it is a lookup field on the Names table).
The other is the Absences table. It has two fields; DateOfAbsence and MakeNameTag. If someone misses a meeting (does not pick up their name tag), their name is added to the Absences table. A query then filters the table for dates in the last 28 days. If their names shows up four times in the last 28 days I want for their name to be deleted from the MakeNameTag table. How to do that automatically? Our office volunteers have minimal PC skills, so the solution needs to be very user-friendly.
I would like to have a date control on a form filled in automatically with the current date when a new record is created (the date would remain as is unless changed manually). I've tried programming it in VB but, being a newbie, have not been able to come up with anything that works. I'm not even sure how to trigger an event to do it just the one time when the record is created.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database with over 500 entries. One thing that would speed up the process of entering all of this data manually would be if I could type in the birth date and the age would be automatically calculated. Is there any way this can be done? It is all in the same table.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a training log that has 4 tables, the employee table, the training course table, and the department table.
These tables all contain the names of employees, training courses, and department in one field and their respective ID codes in the other.
The 4th table is the actual log where the manager logs in who took the training courses. When the manager goes to select the employee name, course name, and department name is there a way not using VBA for the respective ID number to appear in the 4th table (they use the same field names and are related)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to have a list box, which is populated with information from a table/query, to 'filter' what it displays based on what i type in a text box, but i need it to search multiple fields. E.g. say I have a field called name and another called address, and say there are 3 johns in the name field of the table, i want the list box to filter all the other names out and just show me the johns and update automatically. but using the same text box i would like to also be able to search addresses and filter them.
code for the 'On Change' event of the text box to reload the query in the list box. I need to put in the 'criteria' section of the query, i have sound this so far but unsure if its right for every field in the query:
LIKE "*" & [Forms]![Form1]![txtSearch] & "*"
I want to create a database that keeps track of contributions of members of an association. Every member can voluntarily give a standing order to contribute a fixed amount every month. A member can as well decide to review his/her contribute.
how I can come up with a database that can automatically add the contribution of a member monthly without manual input since the stated contribution is known. So that I can run a report for individual member and the report can capture the every monthly contribution that has been added automatically and shows when ever a member changes his/her contribution amount.
I have a form that loads when the database is open, and the form has buttons etc. that leads to queries and reports in the database. (Queries open in a form). Since most queries take a while to load, I was wondering if there is a way to Pop up a message box stating "Please Wait, Query is running..." (or something like that), and once the form opens the MsgBox should close automatically. (The user should not have to hit Ok button.)
Most users of this database would have restricted access such that they would not have navigation pane and toolbar visible - hence I want to make it a touch more interactive when a process is running...also if someone is new to access they might not notice that taskbar status and I don't want them thinking the program is stuck etc..
