I have to design 2 databases base on some data that was given by my instructor but I feel like I'm missing something on both specially the 2nd database. I have attached my work so far as well as the instructions and the existing data..
View RepliesI am attempting to normalize an existing database. I've created the table structures necessary and now I'm designing a query that will update the new field in my primary table: "LabelBaseProduct" with the primary key from my new table: "tblBaseProduct" where the old field from my primary table: "tblLabels.BaseProduct" equals the description field from my new table: "tblBaseProduct.BaseProductDesc".
A visual of my tables:
tblLabels (Main table)
- LabelID
- BaseProduct (old field with text data)
- LabelBaseProduct (new field, needs to be updated with PK from tblBaseProduct)
tblBaseProduct (new table)
- BaseProductID (PK and FK to tblLabels)
- BaseProductDesc (Field that should be matched to tblLabels.BaseProduct)
I tried to design a query using design view of the query design and this is what I have:
Code:
UPDATE tblLabels, tblBaseProduct
SET tblLabels.LabelBaseProduct = [baseProductID]
WHERE (((tblLabels.BaseProduct)=[tblBaseProduct].[BaseProductDesc]));
When I attemted to run the query it told me that it was going to updated over a million records. I only have just short of 2k records in my database.
How can I overwrite the existing Access database with another Access database without the need for the end user to get involved in the process.
I want the code to copy a new mdb file over the database I am using (!) and then automatically start the new mdb file...
I'm altering a database to have certain fields be recorded monthly.For example: instead of a client's file having "Total X Purchased" it would now be "Total X Purchased - Jan", "Total X Purchaed - Feb".
I want to spin the monthlies out of the master clients table & in to ex. tbl_clientsJan, tbl_clientsFeb, etc. but still have them linked; & have a "Totals" table that aggregates data from all of the tables (adds them up).
I have an existing form, & I was thinking of just creating tabs for the months & subforms in each with their sources as the month tables, & removing the fields that don't change month-to-month (e.g. client name), with relationships between them. I would start by copying all of the master table data in to the month tables & allowing edits from there.
the company doesn't track when the transactions occurred; I'm unable to group them along those lines.I'm new to Access & don't want to make a mistake.
I have made a access database which captures new booking information and i then want to export this to a pre-existing excel doc which has formulas in which will work out how long it took my team to process it.
So my question really is to see if it possible to just keep adding data to an excel doc that i have created?
Could someone please give me some help with designing a database in access.
I know excel really well, and took a class on access, and have tried a few times to get started with access but always to no avail.
I have a company that installs real estate signs
1. we have about 200-300 agents (which represent about 10-15 offices)
2. 3 things can happen to 1 sign -
-1. installed the first time (charge)
-2. have a sold sign, for sale sign, or flyer box put on(charge)
-3. Finally removed(free, no charge)
-4. the date would have to be tracked on all of these occurences
3. We have about 10 products or things that can be put or hung on a sign.
I can set up the offices and the agents, and link them just fine. I can set up the products and do the work detail. The problem I have and cannot figure out is trying to bill or invoice this. Some agents are billed individually and some agents don't get billed, there office gets billed as a whole. Could someone please offer some insight on how maybe to go about this from the beginning.
Thanks for any help

Hi
I've been asked by someone at work to design a "no brainer" gui for an access database but I am a complete newbie with regards to this - sure I can do simple queries to filter the information I what in design view but this is something else.
How can I design a gui that can be clicked on or is executed when the mdb icon is clicked that will allow people to access from a drop down box the area they need information about and then have to option to either have the information exported to excell or in a summary report to be printed off. Should I use the form wizard or the report wizard - though none of them seem to do what I want.
I've set up the database from the excell spreadsheets they gave me containing activity figures per operational region. The regions are listed in the first column and I wanted a drop down box to list them.
We have 6,000 entries on the database. These cover 8 regions with some regions containing maybe 500+ entries. As mentioned the regions are listed in column one of the database.
When I select the regions column in a drop down box instead of getting just one entry per region, I get every single entry for example 500 for region 1, 200 for region 2 etc. In other words it is reading the rows not grouping them according to region which is what I want
How do I group them so Access only includes one entry per region on the drop down box and what is the best way to design the gui to give the results I am after?
Thanks

Good day,
I am in the process of creating a database in Access.
I need some advice on designing the table structure.
I have 10,000 products.
There are 40 product types.
Some fields are the same for all products. (I.E. description, price).
Some fields are unique to the product type.
I am thinking this:
1. Have a table called products with all 10,000 products including description, price, producttypeID and productID.
2. Have a table with producttypeID and ProducttypeDescription.
3. Have 40 tables with ProductID and fields that are unique to that category of product.
Is this the right way to go about it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, i need help with a sample database, and wondered if anyone could tell me the entities and how to calculate the prices etc. If anyone could attempt starting the database off for me it would be appreciated too!!
Here is the spec!!!
You are required to produce and document a design that meets the requirements of the McDuffs Burgers scenario:
The corporate office of McDuffs Burgers has asked you to design a database to help track its restaurants and managers. The database is to help the management show the total annual sales of each restaurant and the performance of each manager, as measured by the totals annual sales of all restaurants for that particular manager. Each restaurant is supervised by a single manager, but a manager is also responsible for several restaurants. The company stores typical personnel data (name, salary, and so on.) for each manager as well as basic data for each restaurant such as the telephone and address of each restaurant, its size in square metres, and total annual sales for the last fiscal year. The company would also like objective ways to measure the performance of a manager such as the total revenue for which they are responsible, the average annual revenue per restaurant, the average annual revenue per square foot, etc.
The database should also track the orders that are placed by individual restaurants to the corporate office for various food supplies. Each order is associated with a specific restaurant, and of course, a single restaurant will place multiple orders during the course of a year. The company uses a standard set of product numbers, product descriptions, and associated prices that applies to all restaurants. Each order can specify several products, and a single product may appear in several orders. The database should be capable of computing the total cost for each order.
Deliverables
1. Entity definition for each entity.
2. Entity Relationship Diagram, which must show entities, relationships and membership.
3. Relationship definition for each relationship.
4. Relations (This must include for each relation the primary and foreign keys).
5. Data Dictionary.
Furthermore:
You are required to implement the design (produced in the first part of the assessment - McDuffs Burgers - Database Design), by designing and creating queries, forms, reports and any supporting code. Revisions may be made to the design in the implementation process.
You should note the management of McDuffs Burgers has little experience of database systems and wish to be advised on the information the system can produce.
They require example reports demonstrating the capabilities of the system to:
- Aid the day to day operation of the business.
- Provide appropriate management information.
You must also implement an appropriate user interface to the database easy to use.
Hello,
Hoping some one could assist me? I am busy designing a database which I am going to put in access.
I have designed the tables and am now not sure how to link them. I was given an excell spreadsheet with headings and am now trying to make this into a database. Example : I was given Co-ordinator Name - Which I now split up into:
Co_First_Name
Co-Last_Name
Co_Initials
Co_Area_Code
Co_Tel_Number
Co_Mobile
Co_Email
Now there other fields like this , for example Regional Manager Name - which I have split up as above into a seperate table.
These fields all relate back to one Code - Called District
There are also a fields which needs to show the a fee required the fee paid and fee outstanding/balance .
The rest of the information required I can create check boxes for , I hope!
Anyway my question is how do a relate all these different tables together?
This is my mental block. And the check box tha information - is it stored a another table? I hope I am explaining my self correctly and I hope some one can make sense of my question
I want to design a database for an educational instution environment. My problem is knowing what tables to create and how to link them. I know for example that an instructor can teach more than 1 course and a course can be taught by more than 1 Instructor. This makes it a many to many relationship which is not remommended. I know that there has to be another table to bridge these 2 tables. I want to know what is a suitable name for this 3rd table and what example fields it should contain besides the the Keys form table 1 and 2?
Now here is the over all problem:some instructors teaches more than 1 subjectsome subjects are taught by more than 1 Instructorsome Classes are taught by more than 1 instructorsome instructors teach more than1 classSome classes do more than 1 subjectSome subjects are done by more than 1 ClassSome classes are done at more than 1 locationThis is what is needed:
To be able to enter student grades and attendances by classThe marks sheet should be entered in a subform displaying the full student names list for a particular class at a time.
2. To be able to display the marks and attendance of students as a class list.
As a basic user of Access I believe I have identified a use for the program for the purposes of a reporting task which I am charged with at the moment. We undertake the weekly tracking of proposals, which involves in brief, the action required for the bigger proposals, the teams involved in writing the proposals and follow up information as well as registration of wins and losses etc.
At the moment we use Excel but I am finding it extremely labour intensive with entries having to be removed and captured by only one person on a weekly basis and when you are talking about 40 to 50 new proposals registered nationally in a week and about 100 updates on existing jobs it becomes a perpetual case of chasing your tail.
Am I right in thinking that if we were to design a simple, effective database with a form design that all our research directors could use with ease, and we could merely run reports off each week that this would not produce a far quicker reaction time when it comes to pooling international resources but also far more effective reporting system with which to produce our management summaries?
I am aware that this will probably require quite a bit of consultation on design but before I go shouting the merits of Access to any of my superiors I wanted to make sure I could be confident of Access's capabilities first?
Can anyone advise? point me in the right direction?
Many thanks!

I want to make my Intro of Database. When I open it. Just like you open NorthWind(Sample) database.
How to Remove the Title WIndow of Form.With all sides just like in NorthWind.
also removed the Record Navigation (|< < 1 > >| >*). I saw every option in Form Properties but didnt find.
Please Let me help in this Regard.
My second Question If I only want to remove Record Navigation only.But Title window displays.
May be from first question I can also get my answer.
Thankful in this regard.
I am student, in high school, and I have to make a stock database, for ITGS, so as to receive my IB diploma.
I have created forms so as to enter stock information, and customer information, but I have no idea, as to how to connect them, so as to create an order summery and invoice. I started by creating 2 tables, one for the books, and one for the customers. I then made 2 other tables, one being an order table, and the other the linking table between the order and the books (see relation.jpg). I created a form so as to input information, but I can’t seem to get it to work, (see form.jpg)
Ideally, I would like the end-user, to select the customer's name, from a drop down list, and then for the rest of the customer information to update automatically, then, for the end-user to select a date, and finally the end-user to select books from the stock. Once the end-user has finalized the selection, they would ideally press a button, which would automatically print out an order summary/invoice (Maybe a report?)And that would also automatically reduce the quantity of the books in stock by one.
I have no idea as to how to do this and I would really need someone’s help, seeing as I have less than a week to hand this in by (The deadline is Monday 16th November 2007)
Here are the images

Is there a way to preview a form you are designing to see how it will look when it's full frame?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
-Microsoft Access 2010
-Existing Access Database contains tables with 1-2 million records
I would like to add a field[dol] to an existing table[rei]. I need this new field[rei].[dol] to be populated with existing data from another table[main] based on the associated field[main].[account1] or [main].[account2] or [main].[account3].
Table1[main]
...account1
...account2
...account3
...dol
[code]...
In the [main] table. There is always data in [dol]. But there is NOT always data in the [account] fields. Sometimes there is multiple account numbers per [dol] but not always.
Customers will ALWAYS have at least 1 [account] number and [dol]. Some will have multiple [account] numbers and [dol]. Sometimes these [account] numbers are the same in multiple fields[account1] [account2] [account3].I just need to do a lookup or something to find the [account#] and pull in its [dol] from the [main] table and populate it in [rei].[dol].
I have a database that I import data from an excel spreadsheet into multiple times daily. The table that this data is imported into has several key fields that if the data already exisits in the table, and I attempt to import data that is the same except for one or more of the key fields is different. At this time the database it creates a different record. I am trying to get the database to overwrite the data in the database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
Hello
I have a database which i am constantly updating and improving. I have a few friends who use the database in a current form. If i made an update say to a form or to some of the coding to make the DB more efficent, how can i update the dBs my friends are using without damaging or changing the existing data, or migrating it to the new design.
I.e going from version 1 to version 1.1
Any advise would be great?
Hi,
I have been assigned to "improve" an Access database that has been created by a user. However, i do not know where to start. One of the things I have to do is write a stored procedure so that when the user runs the queries, the user is prompted to enter the criteria (for instance, a data range) to narrow down the number of records retrieved from the SQL backend. I have been told to improve the database. However, I do not have any experience in this and don't know how to start. The database has been created by a user so there's obviously lots of room for improvement. For instance, there are a million queries and I don't think that many are really needed. The goal is to minimize the size of the database. Can someone please guide me as to how I should go about starting to improve this database?
Thanks.
is there anyway to view records in an access database from an existing database? i have 3 databases that perform basically the same things, but are for different people...
i would like to create a database that can report all this information in one spot, instead of creating reports in every database. if this is not possible, i'll probably go the asp.net route, but this seems to be an easier way, if it is possible
what do u think?

Hello Tech gurus,
I have a database with existing data, that is not normalized, :eek: and all the data is in one field... This what I am dealing with:
As you notice the first row of data in field1 C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY has 3 spaces to the right the next row ALTORVASTIN has five spaces to the right, the next line LIPITOR has 7 spaces to the right, and so forth, hopefully you get at what I am trying to do, I just looked at the data and it is not showing up in view of the leading spaces, but I am trying to move the data based ONLY on the position of leading spaces, example all data that has 3 leading spaces would go into its own separate column, and all data that has 7 leading spaces would go into a separate column, I have tried to use the left, mid, len functions but I cannot figure out how to move the text and keep it whole only by data position of spaces.
Field1:
C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY
ATORVASTATIN
LIPITOR
PFIZER
SIMVASTATIN
SIMVASTATIN TEVA
TEVA
M1A ANTIRHEUMATIC N-STEROID
ETODOLAC
ETOPAN
TARO PHARMA
Thanks so much for your help... :confused:

I need to merge data from one DB into another.I have a split database with front end DBcompanyFE and back end DBcompanyBE. BE is on the server so users at company (3 users) can access it with their own FEs.I also have 2 users that are working at some other location (geographically) and they have identical BE of database (DBcompanyBE) and their own FEs.Now, my problem is, that at each location there is different data entered, but on both locations all the data is needed. What would be the easiest and mybe most automated way to merge/combain those data.

I have read only access to a database maintained by a vendor. I am using an append query to search for new records in that database every time my database opens through a macro. This adds any new records to my table. I then add additional information to each record in my table. This is newly acquired information, not calculated, and it is different for each record.
My question is can I keep my table up to date with the vendor table without running the append query macro at open every time as my database may remain open for extended periods of time during updating of records.
