General :: Lookup All Values Of Another Table
Feb 12, 2014
II have been working in Access 2010 and by no means would I call myself an expert. I have two different tables, one is called 'JobsList' and the other one is called 'StatHolidays'. On the Jobslist form, I have a field that requires a ship date, however, I don't want to allow the user to select the dates listed in the StatHolidays table. Is there a way that when a user picks a date that is listed in StatHolidays that a pop up box will say "This date is Christmas, do not choose this as a Ship date". The 'StatHolidays' table has a field for a date and for a description of the holiday.

BACKGROUND
I am desperate to solve this problem but unfortunately I have not been able to figure it out. Below I will outline a design of a database and the desired results.
I know what I want to do but I don’t know how to do it (or whether it is impossible!)
DATABASE DESIGN
The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
Staff Data
Contains daily data for several members of staff
Staff ID
Staff Name
Date
Data Field 1
Example records:
600-001, Bob Smith, 01/03/2006, 50
600-001, Bob Smith, 02/03/2006, 50
600-001, Bob Smith, 03/03/2006, 50
600-001, Bob Smith, 04/03/2006, 50
600-001, Bob Smith, 05/03/2006, 50
600-002, Jayne Cole, 01/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, 02/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, 03/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, 04/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, 05/03/2006, 60
600-003, Alex Winter, 01/03/2006, 20
600-003, Alex Winter, 02/03/2006, 20
600-003, Alex Winter, 03/03/2006, 20
600-003, Alex Winter, 04/03/2006, 20
600-003, Alex Winter, 05/03/2006, 20
Team Lookup
Shows what team each staff member belongs to and what date this is effective.
Staff ID
Team
Start Date
Example records:
600-001, Sales, 01/01/06
600-002, Sales, 01/01/06
600-003, Accounts, 01/01/06
600-002, Accounts, 04/03/06
Please note:
The first three records show that at the start of the year Bob (600-001) and Jayne (600-002) worked for Sales and that Alex (600-003) worked for Accounts.
The last record shows that from 04/03/06 Jayne switched teams to Accounts
Query Assign Team
Assigns the correct team to Staff ID for each date
Staff ID
Staff Name
Team

Desired Results:
600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 01/03/2006, 50

600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 20

Query Group By Team
Summarises data by team/date
Team – Group By
Date – Group By
Data Field 1 - Sum
Desired Results:
Sales, 01/03/06, 110
Sales, 02/03/06, 110
Sales, 03/03/06, 110
Sales, 04/03/06, 50
Sales, 05/03/06, 50
Accounts, 01/03/06, 20
Accounts, 02/03/06, 20
Accounts, 03/03/06, 20
Accounts, 04/03/06, 80
Accounts, 05/03/06, 80
PROBLEM: WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO
I don’t know how to get the query “Query Assign Team” to work!!
I would like to lookup up the ‘Staff ID’ and ‘Date’ in “Team Lookup” and return the appropriate value for ‘Team’
If the only two records in Tbl Staff data were:
600-002, Jayne Cole, 03/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, 04/03/2006, 60
I want the query to return:
600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 03/03/2006, 60
600-002, Jayne Cole, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 60
Can anybody help me?
Should I be using DLOOKUP? If so, how?
Is VBA the only way around my problem? If so, can you tell me what it is?
Am I attempting the impossible?

I have a small database with 3 tables.
tblBilltoCustomer
Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state
tblOrders
tblCustomers
I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.
I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.
I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report
Is there any good samples of lookup fields
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated

I am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2])
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.

I am a newbie to ACCESS. I am stuck with inserting values of combobox directly into a record in table.
I have five different tables(each has only one cloumn) and a complete full_details table(contains 5 cloumns).
I have a simple form with five comoboxes and a save button on it. The five comboboxes are populated from five different comboxes at the time of form load. Now, I want to add values selected from these comboxes in fulll_details table.
My form is unbound. I tried with VBA code, on the save button click, I have written ,
Private Sub save_Click()
CurrentDb.Execute "Insert into Full_Details(Col1,col2,col3,col4,col5) Values ('" & Combo0 & "','" & Combo1 & "','" & Combo2 & "','" & Combo3 & "','" & Combo4 & "');"
MsgBox "Record Saved !!!", vbInformation, "Success"
End Sub
It gives me some error : "You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus property set"....
See, above query works fine , if I set focus of one combobox,but it adds only 1 combobox value in full_details table as only 1 column value.

In an order entry system I have two tables relating to products available: one listing the products (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and another listing options. The options table has two fields, one for the product type (e.g. mugs, pencils, etc), and the second has the options (e.g. red, yellow, green).
So, taking mugs as an example, there is one mug record in the products table, and three corresponding records in the second table because there are three different colours available.
I have created a lookup in my Orders table to lookup the product and another to look up the option.
What I now want to do is make the Options lookup only display options which are available for the product type selected.
So, say for example that pencils are standard and without options, then the options lists should not contain any items for the user to select. But, if a mug is the selected product, then the colour options should be in the list of selectable options.
How can I do this?
