General :: Creating A Special Recorded Mail Database
Jul 31, 2012
I am trying to create a Special Recorded tracking database where a member of staff will log the tracker number into the database and then at a later date someone can come and update the data, what I want to do is scan the tracker barcode with a scan gun and its details appear for updating, I can do this part but when I make any amendments to the data it doesn't save the new data and I don't know why? I am using a combobox to display the tracker number and me.text1.value = me.combo4.column(1) and so on and so forth to display the data, when I change this data it doesn't save.

I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?

Okay I have a table with info about a computer and the usernames who can use this computer. Over the course of the day or week I have to add more users to this computer. I don't want to keep making a new record with the same computer information and only changing the usernames. I want to do it so I can go back to this form with the computer info. and username and click a button or something which allows me to add another user to the record. Essentially just adding another column. How would I do this? I'm pretty basic in Access so go easy on me.

Here's my problem. We maintain a list of items that are sold on ebay. We keep track of all items purchased by individuals and the dates that those items were purchased. We guarantee shipping by 6 weeks after the sell date...
Therefore, I am trying to create a query that will show me all items that are 6 weeks and older and have not shipped. There is a column that says date purchased and one for date shipped if an item is already completed. Any suggestions!!??!?! :confused:

I've been requested to make a bird count database.
The bird count data has been recorded on monthly papers like this:
[bird name] [week 1][week 2][week 3][week4]
The number of birds sighted for a given week is written in the [week x] columns.
What I need to do is make another column that shows whichever number is highest from columns [week 1], [week 2], [week 3], [week 4].
So for example:
Blackbird: Week1: 4, Week2: 2, Week3: 6, Week4: 2
highest: =6

is there a way to create a profile on each person on my database, to show their contact details and whether they've made a purchase from me before, or must I literally just make a table entering each individual person and purchase?
My boss (in another job) showed me very quickly an extremely old database one of his old employees had made for him years ago containing all of his clients, each shown individually, and he was able to click through each one, and each window showed the client's name, contact details, personal details, etc. and he just had hundreds of entries for all of his clients and was able to scan through each individual one. I am 99% sure he said it was on Microsoft Access that he'd done it.I just want to monitor how many of mailing list subscribers have also made purchases and whatnot, as I do rewards for them, and it'll be much easier to view each person's profile and the orders they've made than have to scan through a table to find each separate order?

I am looking to create something called a "transactional" database that tracks historical information.I want to track and keep a record of employees at my organization who have had disciplinary action. We currently have a 5 step approach leading to termination.Eg. Step 1: receive Letter #1 Step 2: receive letter #2 + manager meeting step 3: receive letter 3 + manager and director meeting, etc etc.
I believe this is transactional because for each employee, we would need to see when they received the letter in the past, and an employee may receive two or three "step 1 letter 1" notices due to whatever circumstance.I stumbled upon this database and I found the bottom part where you Add/Edit Employee is what I am looking to do...except I can't Design view or anything to see how all this cool stuff is done! The link is: access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=154187
Essentially, I want to create a user friendly database like the link above where a clerk/admin assistant can open Access, search for an employee by name or department or manager, and then be prompted to add information such as Letter #2 delivered, manager meeting occured, employee signature, etc.

I have a contacts table with detailed info on each contact and I also have a company table with details on each company - all companies attached to a contact are in the company table plus a few others. I'd like to be able to pull up a company profile and see all the contacts we have associated with that company displayed in a list.

I would like to Create a database for indexing / organizing PDF documents. My Company currently use a 3rd party accounts program and we raise sales and purchases using numerical numbers ( but we can Jump to a new range of numbers within the program) for example if the purchase order numbers become simliar to the sales order numbers. But this 3rd party software does not let us scan documents into it hence the need for an alternative database.
For the data base I was thinking if only creating a index of the sales order numbers to start with. the first few question I have are.
1.) Should I Use the Autonumber as my first index column or should I replace it with our own sales order numbers in that column.
2.) is there a way to autopopulate the sales order numbers in a table for historical sales numbers.
3.) can you scan directly into Access
How to start planning the design off the database as I know this is almost the most important aspect of a database.

I read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?

I use an access db that stores our customer info on a mssql backend. I need to be able to create a mail merge based on a customers renewal date. Now I do know how to set parameters in a query but is there a way I can use a access report to enter a month and day they are set to renew then have it create the mail merge based on their info?
The Layout is fairly simple just a renewal notice with what they have on their plan.

I have created inventory databases for both my job and personal use. I do not understand coding. I either need a good hand-holding with simple, detailed instructions or I need to hire a code person.
A button in my form that can be coded to ... When clicked ...
___ open a browse window of hard drives,
___ allow user to choose any single image for selection,
___ copy & paste selected image's location to a table field.
NOTE: Table field will be used to connect to image place holder on form with control source to make the image seen.

My database has several tables (and queries) that have fields that contain people's names. Some names, like O'Neil, contain apostrophes. Other fields contain couple names, like Tom & Laura Jones. Both the ' and the & prevent queries, forms, and reports from working correctly.

I am creating a mail-merge application.
The data stored will be dealing with Students and Qualifications that they have attained. The link table in the relationships shown/attached, allows a Student to have multiple qualifications.
When I merge the data, I will need to list all of the qualifications that each student has attained, which will need to be either in a item list, or in a comma-separated list.
The list will need to be pulled from the link table (StudentQualifications). For example:
StudentID #1 >> Qualification #1 Description
StudentID #1 >> Qualification #2 Description
Etc
Etc
So, when the data is merged, it will specify that:
StudentID #1 has acheived Qualification #1 and Qualification #2 and Etc, Etc.
How can I create this list in the first place, which can then be used in the source of the merge for the document.
Any ideas as to how I can pull multiple information into either a single string to pass to the merge or into a list in the document would be appreciated.

Hi, this is probably a very easy question for you “Access-gods” out there.
I’ve made a database (MS Access 2000) with all my clients. I collect a lot of contact info, including e-mail.
I want to make a function which opens a new mail window (Outlook 2003) and automatically puts in the e-mail from my form (In the send-to field of outlook).
Is this possible? And how?
(BTW: I’m a newbie with VBA)

I have an asset database I am designing to manage our computer inventory and assets.
I am trying to get a DLookup to work with one of my forms that will auto-populate some of the fields depending on what is entered in to the ProductID field. For instance, Make, Model, Asset type...
My problem is that the string that returns contains special characters, specifically "#" and gives me the error message -
Run-time error '3075':
Syntax error in date in query expression 'productID=EN371UA#ABA'.
My expression is definitely working, it just looks like it things it has something to do with date/time which it does not. Unfortunately, most HP equipment contains a # in the Product ID number.
Here is my expression -
Private Sub ProductIDCombo_AfterUpdate()
Make = DLookup("Make", "productlist", "productID=" & [ProductIDCombo])
End Sub
Make is the field I am looking up from the ProductList table. The Product ID is the ID I'm looking up from the ProductList table to find the make. My problem is actually getting it to return the correct value of "HP or Dell or Lenovo". etc.
