General :: Keep Old Field Data For Report After Data Updated
Dec 31, 2012
I have a database with a form called "Main" where users input data and then print a report from it. "Main" has fields in it from another form "Members". This data (from "Members") is shown on "Main' by Dlookup coding, and therefore cannot be selected for input by the user. Now, lets say a user inputs data into "Main" and prints the report on 12/30/2012. On the next day, a member's name is changed and I update that data in the "Members" form. On 12/31, I would like to print the report again, but it shows the updated member's name instead of what is was like on 12/30. How can I keep the old data in case I want to print the report in the future like it was initially printed? What do I need to do to any form(s), report or what VBA code needs to be written?
I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1 ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10 1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)// 2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..// 3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data 2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data 3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
Hey guys im stuck on this one. I need a fax # to be changed from 1 format to another. i dont even know where to start any help would be appreciated. the original data is already in a table like so; (999)#000-0000 and i need on my final table or query all the records to be:9990000000
I have been stuck on this one all weekend long, can it be done. thank you.
I have a very simple database used by 3 users at a time. It is split into BE and FE. One user accesses the DB with queries only so I have created a DB with the master file linked - and literaly nothing else, She will then create and save all of her queries here. But - I want to keep her from accidently updating the file from here. I can't seem to find a simple solution to simply not allowing her to update. Any ideas? Thanks - Dika
Hi, I have a form which is made up for 3 tables and I am trying to create an append query for each one in order to keep records of data before it is updated. The append queries seem to work but they append all data rather than just one selected record. I know I will next need to create a macro which can be used each time a record has been updated and a copy is sent to the archive. Can anyone help me with this, or have any useful suggestions?
This works but the problem i have is, when i add an entry via a form or do anything else via a form. This does not get updated?. I check the properties of the table and that isn't either.
When i then modify something manually in the table (go in and change it). It then updates.
Is there something im doing wrong or is there a better way to check the last updated.
This one is driving me NUTS! I have a form with a combobox, a few textboxes, and a sub-form. On Load the form is populated with a sql command/rcSet.Fields() results. The user then chooses a status from the combobox to narrow down the results. The combobox OnChange event looks like this... sDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtS_Date.Value eDate = Forms("frm-MENU").txtE_Date.Value xJob = Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").lstJob.Value
On Error GoTo hd_dvrErr 'this gets the top of the HD/DVR form sSQL = "SELECT Count(*) AS Total, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1)) AS Error, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='C',1,0)) AS [Credit Card], Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='E',1,0)) AS EFT " & _ "FROM [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)] " & _ "WHERE ((([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].CDATE) Between #" & sDate & "# And #" & eDate & "#) AND (([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE) Like '" & xJob & "*'));"
Set db = CurrentDb() Set rcSet = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL)
With Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC") .txtTotal.Value = rcSet.Fields(0) .txtError.Value = rcSet.Fields(1) .txtCC.Value = rcSet.Fields(2) .txtEFT.Value = rcSet.Fields(3) End With
'this gets the bottom or subform of the HD/DVR form sSQL = "SELECT IIf([Agent]='UNKNOWN','xxxxx',[REP]) AS [Agent ID], [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].Agent, [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE, Count(*) AS Total, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1)) AS Error, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='C',1,0)) AS [Credit Card], Sum(IIf([pmt_meth]='E',1,0)) AS EFT, Sum(IIf([pmt_meth] In ('C','E'),0,1))/Count(*) AS [Error Rate] " & _ "FROM [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)] " & _ "WHERE ((([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].CDATE) Between #" & sDate & "# And #" & eDate & "#)) " & _ "GROUP BY IIf([Agent]='UNKNOWN','xxxxx',[REP]), [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].Agent, [tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE " & _ "HAVING ((([tbl_HD/DVR_CreditCard(*)].JOB_TYPE) Like '" & xJob & "*')); "
Set qdTemp = db.QueryDefs("qry_HD/DVR") qdTemp.SQL = sSQL qdTemp.Close
If Not Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").FormFooter.Visible Then Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").FormFooter.Visible = True Else 'DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)", acSaveNo End If DoCmd.OpenForm ("frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)"), acNormal, , , , acHidden Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)").Recalc Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC").Refresh Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)").Refresh ' DoCmd.MoveSize Height:=Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)").WindowHeight + Forms("frm-HD/DVR_CC(Footer)").FormFooter.Height
I have used similar code on another form and everytime the search criteria changes the sub form updates to reflect such. I know I am missing something small; can somebody please point it out?:D I need to have the subform show the updated (choice from combo) criteria.
If this seems to cloudy, please let me know and I will try and revise
I am running repeated calculation queries of different data, but its is not working to well. I have one query listing the total number of hats made from wool. I then have a second query of that lists the total number of hats made from wool and are black. I have third query that calculates the percentage. I have many different hats of many different colors, and i am doing the same three queries over and over. However, the calculated field for percentages does not update. E.G. I have 100 wool hats, 10 wool,black hats, 10%. The next round: i have 100 wool hats, 5 wool green hats, its will still show me 10%, as its is still calculating based on the previous data. how can i go about this most efficiently and why is not updating?
I have a continuous form with an SQL query as its record source, it is a dynaset. Each row on the form is for a specific picture, containing a unique ID, a pre-generated caption field, and an official caption field. The idea is that users will edit the pre-generated caption field, hit a button, then their changes to the pregenerate caption will be made to the value of the official caption field.
My VBA code for the button works fine, in that it doesn't return any errors. The problem is that there is some sort of delay between when the button is hit and when the official caption field is updated. After the first press, the form requeries and the official caption field is the same, but after a second press the official caption field will display the user's changes.
First, a recordset clone is created using an SQL query, the pre-generated caption column is selected and then the results are filtered to the single record that shares the picture ID of whatever row the user was working in. Next, an SQL update runs, replacing the value of the official caption field with the value of the pre-generated caption that is contained in the recordset clone. Then the form is requeried.
I've tried adding a change of focus at the beginning of the code and a 15 second pause between when the update statement runs and when the form is requeried, neither solves the issue. The problem can't entirely be my code, because a second press of the button will make the appropriate changes.
I know what you're thinking, why have divide the captions into pre-generated and official in the first place - why not use pre-generated caption as the caption source? There is a separate feature that allows a user to mass edit captions and I decided to retain the original pre-generated caption as a field, in the event that the user makes a mistake or decides to reference the content of the pre-generated caption.
I maintain a shared database that I would like other users to be able to see when the data was last updated when they open it so that they can see how up to date the information is from the switchboard.
Currently I am doing this manually by updating the date in a label on the switchboard header, but ideally I would like to add a final action to my update macro (that imports new data into the database) that would automatically do this for me on completion if possible.
I have developed an application using MS Access and MySql tables. The Access forms maintain/display orders that are stored in the MySQL linked tables. The MySql tables can also be updated independently by another process. The problem is that the Access forms do not reflect the backend changes when they are made by the other process.
For the moment I have implemented an on Timer process that causes a requerys for the forms every 5 seconds but this is not very elegant and causes the form screens to flicker.
Is there a better way I can automatically make the front end forms reflect changes to the back-end database when it is updated indepenently ?
Hi, I have a VB6 application talking to Access DB. The program was suppose to do some audit tracking but due to a bug it didn't create data in Audit table. Is there a way i can retreive data which is updated (Old values) for 2 tables. If there is a tool/utility i can buy please let me know.
I've been making small changes here and there to my database in Access 2013. I have left the original database in place and it has acquired many new records from the last month. I'm ready to start using the newly updated design version of the database, but I do not want to have to type all those new records into the new database to get it up-to-date. There has to be a way to import the data from the original database to the newly updated one.
Most, If not all of the fields have the same names, but some of the fields have changed, like to Combo boxes. I removed two or three unneeded fields, and added two or three. I understand the new fields will need to have data enter to them, but the remaining would be redundant and inefficient if I have to reenter all the recent records again.
How do I import the data from the original two tables to the new updated database? I only have two tables and they use a One-to-One relationship in both databases. The table's names are different, but as I mentioned earlier, the fields are mostly the same. Do I need to import into Excel, and then modify the data slightly, and then import into my new database?
I have a report with 4 subreports. The report contains calculated fields that use the totals field in the different sub reports.
My issue is when one or more of the subreports does not have data in it. The sub report dissapears while in print preview, removing the totals row and ruining the calculated fields in the main report.
How can I keep the sub report visible even if no data is displayed? Or have it invisible but have the calculated fields still reference.
need information in form to write to report before accepted and saved to separate table, so operators can read it. background:manifest information entered into form in receiving office, analysis ran in lab and then entered into form. When analysis is approved, Operators unload material then truck checks out in receiving office. Need to see analysis before it is written from load_temp table to Load table.
so i had created query using query design wizard for which i i needed to enter year of the data everytime the query is being made all my data are correct when just using the query.however when i turning it into report where the query will still be runing and with adding in another field from my original table to get on the montly rearrangement that's where the some record are shown duplicate on the report
I've written an application in VB.Net and now I need to transfer the data on textboxes on a form to a report for printing. Only the data on the form is what I want to preview and print.
I have several lookup fields in a table that reference data in other tables, each with two fields (unique nummber & text data). The combo boxes in the data entry form work fine, but when I produce reports, the unique number shows up in the output, not the text data from the second field. What can I do to force the data that I need to see in my reports?
I am creating a report that contains name andd birthdate on one line. I need to have up to seven lines in the report for some groups, but do not want to leave blank lines where no names exist. I am working in 2010 and have read about canshrink in 2007, is this approach availabel in 2010 and for date as well as text?
I've got a report that is displaying addresses which are all identified as 'public' or 'private'. I want to be able to display the 'public addresses' and leave the 'private' addresses blank (but still show other fields.. phone no.s etc). The field that the data appears in is Address 1 (for both public or private), depending on what the data entry clerk has selected as the preferred address (ie public or private).I've been playing with the Iif function, but have not had any success...
Address Type: Private or Public Address1: Address details
I created a report to print out a letter that will be sent to all of our clients. In the address section of the letter there are two field for adresses...Address1 and Address2. One is for a street address and the other for a PO Box. Not all of the clients have a PO Box and for these, I do not want the blank line to show in the address. For example:
John Doe 3 Main Street
Franklin, MA 02038
The field and section of the report are set to "can shrink" and "can grow", but it still gives me a blank line in the address for the clients that do not have a PO Box. What else do I have to do?
I am working on a report and have found a problem. I have a field called "region". The data is geographical and is basically stuff like "southeast", "mid-atlantic", "southwest", etc. I reference this field in the report but the report shows the ID field of the table where this data exists, rather than the data in the "region" field. So, instead of "southeast", it shows "3".
I have a form. On the form I have a button to run a report.The query associated with the report selects all records within a unit (field name (Unit) is used as the selection criteria).Rather than type in the unit name when the report is run, I want to select the unit that is currently shown on the form.
I have become stuck with an issue which I am sure is entirely my fault. I am trying to create/modify a macro for a field ([cx_ref]) on a report (Upholstery_orders), so that when a particular record is clicked, it uses the data in that specific record and field to open another report (works_orders), based on said data.
So far the only headway I could make was to create a macro that opened an intermediate form with a combo box displaying every record in [cx_ref]. I'm not a huge fan of this method as any user would have to either memorise then type, or scroll down thousands of records in order to locate the correct one, select it and then click a button to open the "works_order" report.
A macro (or code) that could take one from the original report, using the data in the 'clicked' box/field on the form, and open the second report without having the input the data again. Short of being able to do this, any way to simply export the selected field so that it appears on the intermediate form (without the need to select or type it again), be that in the combo box or in a box of its own.
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
