General :: How To Create A Database That Updates Records Automatically
Jul 1, 2015
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.
Using 2010 32 bit on win 7.I've been having an issue recently with forms not allowing changes to existing records or adding new records. These have previously worked for years and I haven't done any design changes in 12 months.
Some forms are base on queries that are based on single linked tables and some on joined queries but all have unique identifiers with enforced integrity.I noticed that changing the Record Source in the form from 'Dynaset' to 'Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates)' resolves the issue. But I'm stumped to what's causing this to happen in the first place.
The front end has been saved in a accde format and distributed to 20+ users. They have all saved this onto there computers and this is used as an application.The users complete a form on a weekly basis on the application and then save. This then saves into the back end.For some reason I have noticed that a few users submission randomly do not save. For the life of me I cannot understand why.All users have saved them into the back end in the past but every now and then submission for users do not save.
I have built a database and within it my queries I use for reporting make tables in a separate database. This allows me to work in my data base and update info as needed. My problem is that my make table queries wont run if anyone has one of the report pivot tables open. I have added macros to all the Excel files that pull from the reporting DB but I still have several times when I cannot update because someone is using the pivot table, Is there a way to allow me to update the report DB's while the pivot tables are open? I have tried using manual refresh methods and disabling auto update on open but the result is the same.
I have a problem and not sure what the best approach is.
Our study enrolls patients and then re-contacts them every month for 1 year. I want to create 12 new records in "Table2" based on the "baseline_date" and "StudyID" of each patient in "Table1". "Baseline_date" is the initial date the patient is enrolled in the study and "StudyID" is a number created based on information from the patient. Both are unique values. What I want to do, is after the "baseline_date" variable is updated with the date of enrollment on a form I want to trigger VB code to automatically create 12 records in "Table2". "Table2" would have the following variables: "StudyID", "Early_Date" and "Late_Date". The records would be created based on the following.
The -3, +10 gives us a two week window in which to contact the patient. "Table2" containing the newly created records will have a many to one relationship with "Table1".
I have searched, but found no reference to my exact question. I have a list of drivers I need to create a checklist for each day. The Parent form is the day and the subform is the list of drivers. What I would like to do is have a command button automatically enter all the drivers that are active (denoted by a chechbox) into the tabular subform.
Hello there is a field in my form named "numphotos" and I write the number of photos than that folder contains.
I have a subform in that main form named "descriptions", here I describe, one for one, all photos of that folder.
Itsnīt a problem if the folder contains a few photos, but I have folders that have even 100 photos :confused: then I must to create 100 records in my subform :eek:
I would like than Access create those records automatically according to the number of photos that I indicate at the field numphotos.
My example in photo: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1141/1093088982_a084bff95f_o.jpg
I only would desire that Access create that many lines to me as I have written on "numphotos". I would write the rest of the information (photographer and description)
I have a database with over one hundred employees in. Attached to each employee is a relationship where they can do many activities. How can I automatically create one activity record per employee at the beginning of a day and give the date field in the many part of the relationship the current days date.
I assume you've got to create a recordset and do something along the line of - do until EOF docmd.acrecnew. But haven't got a clue where to start.
I have a table in access which captures a couple of bits of information. The database is for tenant management and payment records. This is what i am trying to achieve:
In one table I record payment information, when they paid, and how much they paid.
In the lease table I capture information such as first pay date, and the payment schedule, whether this be weekly, monthly, fortnightly etc.
I would like to create a table of sorts which has the next twelve months worth of payments dates. Then when i add a payment to my payment table it will match it up with the correct payment date. This will allow me to track arrears and missed payments.
I have data in all sorts of tables and databases that are linked together through different systems. I'd like to update some of the information automatically in the evenings or in the middle of the night without needing someone to push a button. Is there a way to do this?
I 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.
Is it possilbe to create a form that updates mutiple records at once with the click of a button? If each record has 4 fields and for each group I want to update at once there are 2 fields with the same value and 2 fields with different values?
Here is the set up. I have a primary school database.
There is a main form that shows the students name and class.
The main form contains tabs for each subject (maths, english etc.). Each tab has a subform that is supposed to allow me to enter a comment about the student's progress.
My tables are set up properly (as far as I can tell).
The Master and Child (main form and subform) are linked using StudentID.
I use a query for fields in the Master form. Each subform has its own query that shows results for a particular subject.
The problem
My subform allows me to edit an existing comment fine (if I enter dummy data directly in a table).
BUT, if there isn't an existing comment, and I attempt to enter one, I get an error - "YOU CANNOT CHANGE A RECORD BECAUSE A RELATED RECORD IS REQUIRED IN TABLE tbl_Subjects."
What I have tried
I understand this error means I am violating referential integrity rules. But I can't see why. The tbl_Subjects is populated with 10 subjects and I am only trying to put a comment against an existing SubjectID.
I've checked that my Form Master / Subform Child is ok. I experimented with having StudentID _and_ Subject_ID to link the master and subform to see if that worked. It only made things worse because my subforms wouldn't display correctly.
I have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?
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?
I have a database that has a main form, and from that main form there are buttons that open their respected forms. I am curious as to how I control the size of all of my forms. They are all pop-ups at the moment. It all works fine on my monitor, but when opened on a smaller monitor it is too big and I can't even see the bottom of the screen. The main form is set to open automatically after the user logs into the database and it opens to fit the screen. also, all of my forms are modals.
I have Access 2013, part of office pro, and for some reason it now cannot create a new database, ie nothing is created where i told it to It then comes up with "cannot open a database created with a previous version etc".This is NOT a previous version, it physically does not exist.This did work, well last week.Tried doing an office repair, no differance, tried delting system.mdw.If i click OK on previous message, i do get "Close ole server and restart it outside of access"
I want to create a simple database so that I can enter childrens names and then add dates to these that they will be attending our Breakfast Club. Out of this I want to be able to create a daily register of children.
I have a form which a user selects an activity from a combo box. On some occasions a user may need to enter the same activity a number of times. I want to add a text box/combo box that a user can enter or select a number. When the user hits the submit button i want the records created in the database to match the number specied fied in the text/combo boxes.
I think i may need to use an INSERT statement but totally confused how to do this.
tblClient (for basic client information), tblDischarge (for client discharge information), and tblAppointments (for appointments that are added to an outlook calender).
All three tables are linked using the IDNumber from the Client table. I have a form where a user inputs a discharge date for the client.
Once that date has been added I need to add 5 records to the Appointments table for different followup times based on that discharge date (such as one month, two months, three months, etc.).
I have the code working to add an individual appointment to outlook but not 5 different ones at one time. So the question I have is how to add the 5 records based on the one discharge date?
I know this has probably been gone over, but I'm just looking for a super-simple way to put a button on my form that will create a number of records equal to the number of days in the month listed in a field. For instance, if MyField is "4/1/2015", I'd like the system to create one record for each date between 4/1/15 and 4/30/15.
I have scoured the forums, and I find many threads on creating multiple records, but none of them deal with the same type of thing I need. I have a field, called MyField, and I have a table called MyTable with a column called MyDate. I want to enter a date into MyField, then click a button, and the button will run code/macro/whatever that will create multiple rows in MyTable, one for each date in Month([MyField])
I have a table that holds UK Postcodes and a customer table that holds customers.
I am trying to create a relationship between the 2 so when I enter a postcode in the customer table this is then related to the postcode table.
The main problem I have is that there is a lot of duplicate postcodes in postcode table so the primary key is simply a number as you will see in the picture.
