I am very new to Access and I am not familiar with SQL. How I can create fields that are similar to each other?
Let's say I have 3 fields in my table: Name, State, Area Code.
I want it so that each time I select "Name" the appropriate State and Area Code populate. Anyway I can do this?
I have a table with 3 yes/no fields. I need them to be dependent on each other meaning if one is yes the others can not be yes. How can I set this up?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am creating a table in access and I would like to color code some of the fields if it is possible. There would be multiple green fields to represent it has usable data, Yellow to represent the data is in process and Red to represent bad data. I do not want to color code fields using queries, forms or reports I want to color code the fields in the tables only.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a web database that I am trying to create a search feature for just 2 of the fields. The search is for a certain date and also a shop are the 2 fields I would like to have the search run for.
Once the search has been run I would like to generate it into a report.
I have already created the report/ form and the query. I am not sure where I need to go from here. I have created the from with the date and also a combo box for the list of the shops and then a button that says search that will go to the report. I just need it to show all the particular items that show the date and or shop. If you leave them both blank it will run a report and show everything. Then if you just put a date in it will run a report with just that date or the same with the shop.
I am trying to put in a validation rule so that data in one field cannot be less than that in another.
e.g. i want to make a validation rule so that a phone call end time cannot be before the phone call start time.
Can anyone help???
Hello All -
I think that my problem is best explained by an example.
In the first field the user chooses between two options for the reporter.
Field 1 - Reporter: Client OR Employee
If the user selects "Client" they have to enter an address, if they select "Employee" they don't have to enter an address.
So, what I hope is to create a form where if they select the "Employee" the address fields (address, city, state, zip) "gray out" and not accept any data entry.
Any help would be SO appreciated!
Thanks -
Amy
I think what I want is:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details
1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table
1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.
I thought that my previous request on how to create a dependent combobox based on selections from two previous comboboxes, but the example provided only worked if the fields were all in the same table. Here is an explanation of my problem...I have 3 tables:
-FoodType
-fruit
-vegetable
Color
green
red
yellow
FoodName
apple
banana
cabbage
green beans
kiwi
lettuce
lime
raspberries
beets
spinach
star fruit
strawberries
squash
tomato
I have 3 comboboxes on a form: cboFoodType, cboColor, cboFoodName.I would like to filter the value lists in cboFoodName based on the selections from cboFoodType and cboColor.For example, if I select "fruit" from cboFoodType and "red" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFood Name to consist of "apple;raspberries;strawberries".Likewise, if I select "vegetable" from cboFoodType and "green" from cboColor, I want the value list available in cboFoodName to consist of "cabbage;green beans;lettuce;spinach".
The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?
I have an ... interesting issue. I am wondering if others have dealt with this. I have a solution, but am not the happiest with it.
I basically have 2 databases here. (Or I will when I'm done making them) and one is dependent upon the other. In fact, the 2nd's tables are dependent upon the fields in the first database's table.
This database is for quality control checking purposes.
First off,
Database 1:
Basically a list of standardized audits and what needs to be checked for those audits. What needs to be checked can change as things progress, but stays pretty standard.
Database 2:
This will hold the checks that the QC branch will do, based on what type of Quality Check they are doing, they have an audit standard. This audit standard exists in database 1.
What basically ends up happening is that the data in Database1 become Table fields in database2.
Example:
Database1:
Radio Check Audit Standard.
Needs to check following:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Another Random Check Audit Standard
Needs to check the following
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Did something specific for this Audit
Didn't do something else, also specific for this Audit.
Etc.
Continue on with other Audits.
Database2: Will keep track of all the quality checks that have been preformed.
Today we will check Radio Protocol
Did they:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Yes, No as necessary.
2 Days later, we need to do another QC on the Radio Protocol
Need to check if they did:
Process Specs
EDMS Drawings
Manuals
SoP / Policy
Used Radio callback
Used radio during emergency
Etc.
Etc.
But what will be checked for in Database2 depends on what the standard is for the "Radio Check Protocol," or etc.
Right now, i see 2 options:
Option1
Make the 2 databases, and when a user "Picks" the Radio Check protocol, a linked table is filled with the Name / object that needs to be checked with a field in the same row to hold the data if the object was done / not done etc.
The fields in Database1 are automatically put into this specific instance of Quality Check, etc.
Only problem with this: Requires coding to auto update. Easy to do, but if errors occur, things will screw up.
Option2:
When the user picks the Radio Check protocol, simply allow a subform with a refreshed drop down box. Allow user to pick items they need (Limit it to only this Audit list, etc) to set to true. Assume false for other items not specifically chosen by user.
Problem with this: If an Audit standard changes to remove an item, or add item. Any quality checks done will also change for the assumed false items. If another Item added in, then all old QCs will now also have that item added in / reported assumed false. And if it is deleted, all old QCs will loose the item that was reported false.
I'm seen the first option as the only viable one.
Am I missing this, is there some other way to do this that would be better / wiser? Etc?

See the Main form of attached file, I would like to see contacts list box is made from drop-down list Customers. dependent
In the main form needs to select one customer (for example: Klant1), only the contacts 'de Vries' and 'Van der Linden' can be selected in the combo box of contact (in the main form) .. I do not succeed despite several attempts with macros to achieve this.
Right now, I have an entire job with multiple piece parts. All of these different parts go through different processes (They are shown in the table "Piece Parts New"). I've created a query that the user puts in the EC (estimated completion) days per process of a given piece part, it automatically outputs a ESD (Estimated Start Date) and ECD (Estimated Completion Date) on all processes based on date the part was started.
So, now I want it to output a report that each piece part will:
1. Follow Sequence by Step #
2. Do longest part first (make number one priority at a given machine).
3. Only 1 part per machine at a time (The part that takes the longest to do will always be first, followed by the next longest, etc.)
Right now, the report labeled "Step Groupings" somewhat does this, however another part will have ESD a day later even though the part before still hasn't finished according to ECD.
I created a database and I manage to split it into front end and backend. now I'm going to make an EXE of the front end.My question is when I open the front end, I need the database to be empty, and them create a button that will make the user select which project he wants to open (backend).I also need to create a button that will create a new empty backend and save it as a new project.

I want to create a combo box of fields from a table. After selecting a field, I want to choose from another cbo either "Yes" or "No" to fill out that particular field.

hi
i have two fields that are the same, but in different tables. can i create a relationship so that when one field (in stock) from the purchases table is selected, the same field in the stock table is the same value as the one from the purchases table... i hope i explained it well enough:)
i know this causes data redundancy, but is there any better way of doing this?
thanks
Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'd like to concatenate 2 name fields being TeacherFName and TeacherLName. No problem with that bit.
The bit I'm not sure on is that I'd like to have just the first 4 letters from the last name and the first 2 from the last, unless the last consists of less than 4 letters then I will fill with the first name. IE Dianne Cox becomes coxdia.
Can anyone help please?

I must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.

All,
I have a quick question that could lead into a longer one.
First off, I am trying to associate tests with a course a student is enrolled in. Would it be better to add a column in the courses table and have a comma separated list of all tests associated with each course or would it be better to create a separate table that has a column for the course and another column for the associated test with that course?
If comma separated fields would be better, how would I handle that in forms? How does one parse that field?
Thanks!
I am editing data in a table that was designed by someone else. For some reason, they divided the date into three columns (YR, MON, DAY). I would like to join these three fields together and create a legal DATE field. I have tried the following:
SELECT YR AND MON AND DAY AS TheDate
FROM MyTable;
However, it returns an odd result. I think this might be because ACCESS does not know I want a date format.
My question is: is the above QUERY correct and how do I tell ACCESS to put the concatenated data in a date format.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...
All, using access 2010. I am working with an existing database that have a letter programmed using fields in a query. I have to add to it but having a trouble. Merge in Word was not used. I can't find any examples. The letter is designed in a report design. Using the fields from a query and filtered by "IIF Statements".
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow i would best combine values in a table to produce a 'primary key id number.'
For example: the first letter of a city in the ID and the next number available/auto number - Portsmouth -> P233
I know i can create this in a query however i want it as the unique ID for that record entry in a table. If that doesn't make sense i can try to elaborate some more.
I am extremely handicapped in Access 2010. I am currently trying to create a database for a small company I am interning in. One of the things I would like to do is to update or create multiple fields in different tables simultaneously.
To explain, I have two tables, Production Activity in CY 2012 and Production Activity in $ 2012. Both tables have a field "Date of Activity." In addition to some other fields, Production Activity in CY has a field "Actual Production in CY" and Production Activity in $ has a field "Actual Production in $".
Now I had initially created two forms, each dedicated to one table, however my supervisor wants to use only one form to update both fields.
I also want to know how can I connect/link both of the Date of Activity so that if one changes, the other one changes too. And when I run queries, both "Date of Activity" fields should appear as one (when I want to run query of let's say the maximum or minimum production each month).
I've got a fields called rev code that contain the following values:
field name: 110 131 250 255 258
field value: 7.49 6 11.25 12.11 78
I'm writing a query that pulls from the first two digits of the rev code and need to round off to the nearest dollar so in my query I'll have a column 11 with a value of 7, a column 13 with a value of 6, then I need to take columns 250 255 and 255 add the values together and round off so I get a column 25 with a value of 101.
How do I do that?
Hello,
I have a big table like this:
ID Name Race1 Race2 Race3
-- ---- ----- ----- -----

How do I create a query to be like this (either in query or report)?
I like to combine three fields (race1, race2, race3) in one field (Race), and break any value of races to the 2nd line, 3rd line, if there is a value...
ID Name Race

In Oracle and SQL Server, we can combine a few rows to be columns-like, but in Access, is there any way to do that? and how?
Thanks so much!
Jenny.
i essentially have 2 table:
1. Table BIC
A list of codes that will be updated monthly, which will be the basis for querying the second table. Approx 100 rows of data.
2. Table Original
A data file obtained from IT where i'll need to sort it to find any codes that are including in Table1. This includes approx ~ 10,000 row of data.
** note, the "BIC" from "Table BIC" can appear in any of the 5 BIC columns in Table Original.
What i need to do is create a query that will:
1. Search the "BIC" from "Table BIC" in all 5 columns of "Table Original".
2. Where it has a hit, it will create new table - for example, the first row of table Original includes the BIC "ABC" in the "BIC 1" column. A query would create table "ABC" and place this whole record (all 8 fields) in new table "ABC". No modification needed.
3. Where two (or more) BIC's from "Table BIC" appear in one record in "Table Original" - the result will only need to be placed in one of the new tables (really doesn't matter which one). For example, Record #4 includes the BIC "ABC" in field "BIC1" and the BIC "DEF" in the field "BIC4". Therefore, a new table would be created (either ABC or DEF) to capture this information.
