I'm doing a database that tracks customer projects and orders.
The Header table contains all the Customer and Project details like customer name, contact details, project leader, etc.
A second table BOM contains the customer orders for a particular project.
I need a way to track changes or revisions to the BOM. It happens when a customer makes changes on their orders like quantities, etc.
I am trying to track a yearly training in Access 2010 but am not quite sure how to accomplish it. The training originally was just a one-time thing, due within two weeks of a new hire's start date so I currently have it displayed as three fields in my employee table (Due Date [Calculated], Completed [Date/Time], Paid [Yes/No]). Now, employees will be required to complete this training every year (beginning January 1st, not from employee's start date) and I don't know how to accomplish the tracking it.
I need to keep each year's completion date and whether or not the employee was paid. Currently, the "Paid" field is linked to a query that populates a list of employees that have not completed the training. If the "Paid" Yes/No box is unchecked, the employee's name will be listed in the query; once I check the Yes/No box then the employee's name is removed.
What would be the easiest way to track this training for each year? There are several other training that I am tracking but are one-time only events; these too are separate fields in my Employee table.
I am planning my new DB and am contemplating the best design. It will be used for warehouse stock rotation and control of pallets. I want to track each pallet (product/time in/time out etc) to each pallet space within the warehouse. There are a total of 400 pallet spaces or 'locations' as i will refer to them as.
Now, would it be possible for me to have a table set up for each location? Will access object to having 400 tables in my data base?? Is there a limit?
just building my first database. Eventually I want to make it open to others/make changes as new research is done. Can I add change-tracking etc. later (perhaps once I know ANYTHING about code etc.). Basically - can I worry about that later, or--like structure etc.--does it have to be set up before I can enter any data to begin with?
(for the initial part in which I am the only one using the db I was planning on just having it stamp the date of the original entry)
Our office needs a way to track reports that are due to us, so I'm trying to build an Access database to do that. What happens is this...
We put out a weekly tasking document (called an AFCTO) every Friday that tasks our outside agencies (units) to do various things. Each task in the AFCTO directs a single unit to do a specific thing. Units may be tasked multiple times in the AFCTO (one-to-many relationship), but each task only applies to one unit.
Some tasks require the units to send us reports on the status of that task, while other tasks don't. The reports that are due can occur at different frequencies. For instance, some tasks require our units to send us reports weekly on Thursdays; other tasks may require reports to be sent to us monthly on the 1st; other tasks may require daily reporting.
Now, with all that said, we need a way to see what's due to us each day. What I would like is a report that displays what's due for this week, similar to this:
So far I have a very rough mockup of what the form should look like (fmAFCTOTasks in the attached db):
The user can type in the AFCTO Task Number of the task, the start and end datetime group, the unit assigned to that task, the task desc, what type of report is due, what triggers the report, and the frequency at which the report is due. Reports can have one of two triggers...
1) event driven (something happens that requires a report to be due), or
2) date driven (report is due on certain date or day(s)).
Obviously if a report is event-driven, then there will be no frequency or date/day associated with it. How to structure the tables and the form.
how to build a construction submittal tracking database.. im doing all this in excel but i find it very hard to trace the data that i need.. i have a form where all the data is inputed.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am looking to create something called a "transactional" database that tracks historical information.I want to track and keep a record of employees at my organization who have had disciplinary action. We currently have a 5 step approach leading to termination.Eg. Step 1: receive Letter #1 Step 2: receive letter #2 + manager meeting step 3: receive letter 3 + manager and director meeting, etc etc.
I believe this is transactional because for each employee, we would need to see when they received the letter in the past, and an employee may receive two or three "step 1 letter 1" notices due to whatever circumstance.I stumbled upon this database and I found the bottom part where you Add/Edit Employee is what I am looking to do...except I can't Design view or anything to see how all this cool stuff is done! The link is: access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=154187
Essentially, I want to create a user friendly database like the link above where a clerk/admin assistant can open Access, search for an employee by name or department or manager, and then be prompted to add information such as Letter #2 delivered, manager meeting occured, employee signature, etc.
I have been tasked at my work to create a database for tracking time off from work. I have built several databases in Access 2003 and have now transitioned to 2010 and it is seems to be going well. My past databases have been rather simple data in data out not really that big of a deal. However on this database they need a report that will show them a week view that shows them all the employees regular days off and any additional time off they have schedule in that week.
I have an employee info table that has employee basic info, Emp name, Emp number, Work Week code (which identifies which days off the employee has) Hire Dates (for seniority sorting) and then I have 7 fields listed as D1, D2, D3 and so on until D7 (I will try to explain these fields later).
I have another table (Time Requests) that has 3 fields, Date, Emp number, and Time code (which identifies why they are off work or unavailable to be assigned).
The last table I will refer to has 7 fields, they are Date1, Date 2 – Date7
I now have a form. This form has the 7, fields Date1, Date2 – Date7.
On my form Date1 field is updated by a manager with a date that is a Sunday then Date2 = [Date1]+1,
Date3 = [Date1]+2 and so on until I have all 7 fields showing date from Sunday – Saturday.
These fields are lined across the top in a vertical direction positioned above a subform of the employee info table. So directly below the 7 Date fields are the D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 fields then to the right is the Emp name and Emp number, This gives me a Week view of who is working.
I have been able to get the D1, D2….. fields to show their respective Work Week codes by writing very simple “If Then” statements . So here is where I AM STUCK…When I am showing this week view how do I get D1 –D7 to identify what date they are supposed to be in reference to Date1 – Date7 then compare themselves to the table “Time Requests” to see if they have a match and then set the value of D1, D2 …. to the “Time code” in that table. D1 – D7 need to auto populate and do this for about 50 employees.
Here is a screen shot of what I have so far and where I am stuck: [URL] ....
I have been asked to create a access data base (using 2007) on tracking patients medical tests that then alerts you when it is overdue set against a scale:
Physical Test - age 20-39 - every 3 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 40-49 - every 2 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 50+ - every 1 years - Male and Female
PAP Test - 20+ - every 3 years - Female
There is about 10 of these tests like this and then tests specifically for Cancer type patients.
I figured out one way by creating a table with each column being a test but this didn't really work as I need to keep a record of each time they come in and the test is done and then it spits out the next reoccurring test from that date.
I then will need to make a report created from this that alerts on everybody who is overdue to not gotten any of the tests by category.
I then thought okay I will create a table that has the fields as ready something that this is better and to append the records to another form:
Illness - Pulling from tables of Illness
Test - Pulling from table of Tests
AgeGrp - multi-field, referenced from Table of Patients
Gender - Multi-field, pulling from the Table of Patients
Frequency - pulling from table of frequencies with amount of days to calculate
I did this and now I can't figure out anything past this point and how to link all this data up so the right information pops out.
Or is there a better way of going about this.
I have visitors who come in from one to several days at a time through different times of the year. Usually someone visits each day. Currently I use Excel to track visitors but I often keep typing and retyping the same persons over and over.
I would like to create a database of these people but I'm stuck with how to enter and retrieve the information on a daily basis. Should I create a table with many date fields (up to several); or just two; one FROM and one TO and try to draw the information out through a query? If so, how would one ask ACCESS with a query to PRINT TODAYS LIST and another VIEW TODAYS LIST (of visitors) with a button on a form (I know how to create buttons).
I have my database and my form all created and working. Reports and everything are in place. But we need to have a record of what changes have been made. Essentially what I want to make is a table that is essentially a log of all the changes that have occurred.
What I have is essentially a time clock database. So when someone enters our facility the guard will check them in and out. What I want is a list of all the ins and out for a day. So it will be a running list. Then I will create a query to return results for a report. But where I am having problems is creating a table that will house this data. So out of my main table I want a child table that will have certain data fromt he parent table. Mainly the time in and out along with the name of the person. There will be multiple repeat data entries in this table and I am ok with that.
Hello,
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how I should go about designing the table structure for the hours tracking for the database I'm working on. Basically, I have a table with projects (tblProj) that I need to track the number of labor hours worked per month. The problem lies in the fact that each project could have varying time periods, anywhere from less than a year to more than a year and can start and end at any time of the year.
I was thinking of creating a second table (tblProjHours) to store the hours for the project but I'm not sure what the most efficient way of doing this would be. My idea was to create a table as follows:
tblProjHours
ProjHoursID (pk)
ProjID (fk)
BeginDate
EndDate
Month1
Month2
Month3, etc....
I would create a large number of fields/columns, something like Month1 to Month36 just to make sure I have enough months to enter in the hours. This is of course inefficient since some projects would be way shorter than the maximum allowed months set by the table structure and there is always the possibility of surpassing the maximum allowed months based on the table structure. I was wondering if someone had any better ideas on how I should pursue the design. Thanks in advance!

hi everybody,
great resource you have here! my employer is tracking around 250 pieces of data for each client at our facility. i am making a new access system based on their existing mysql database and web front end. before i start messing around with forms and reports, i want to see how well this existing structure will work in access, and what kind of approach i should take. i am a newbie with access, but lots of experience with asp/mssql/php/mysql. making web forms is so time consuming that i figured i would be best off moving the whole thing to access and starting from scratch.
client information is stored in eight tables. each table has around 30 fields in it. the first table has a primary key autonumber, and the other seven tables have foreign keys with unique constraints that point back to the first table. that is, for each client record in the first table, there can only be exactly one corresponding record in the other tables.
i did some data massaging, and got the eight client tables into one big table, but the resultant table has almost 250 fields in it, and access doesn't seem to like working with tables that big. so i am thinking that it is best to leave the eight tables separate, but linked in one to one relationships.
i was kind of ideally visualizing a form with eight tabs so that i could edit/update all of the information from the eight tables rather seamlessly.
my question is: what approach to table structure will best suit my needs, and what approach should i take to add/update/delete the info with forms? will i need to do vb for this? any good one-to-one example databases anybody could point me at?
thanks a million,
harry doyle
Does anyone have a sample training tracking system / database they'd be willing to share?
Or, barring that, can someone point me in the direction of where I might find one?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to it!

Bee replied once, suggesting I look in the Samples Databases section of this forum, but I could not find anything even remotely related there.
All replies are gretly appreciated!!
I have a DB I'm using to track training for assigned people. Right now the training gets put in the DB at the end of the day by going through each persons record and adding the training that they did for the day. As you can see when training 30+ people a day, putting this in the system can take awhile. I'm trying to find a way to do a mass input to cut down time and could use some help with this.
My tbls are as such,
1st Table:EMPLOYEEtbl
EmployeeID
EmployeeName
(Other information)
2nd Table:CLASStbl
className
classID
3rd Table:CompleteClasstbl
EmployeeID
classID
DateTaken
What I like to do at the end of the is select the ClassID/DateTaken items once and then type in a just the 30+ list of employeeID's click a button and append it to the my 3rd table. Of course writing it out like this makes me think it should be easy but for some reason I'm lost. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I need help finding an existing or making a db. This db does not have much to it, so I am getting frustrated finding/making one.
My company has equipment that is stored in one of three places, customers, trucks of employees, and other(like warehouse, or out for repair). The db should be able to give me a report of where everything is on a given day, and a report of what was in a given customers property during the job(this is not for a single day, but for the duration of the job).
If someone knows of an existing db like this, I would appreciate a link. If you want to help, it is appreciated. At this point I would not mind paying someone to do this for me, as long as it wont cost too much.
Is there any way in access 2003 or 07 to track when a database was last synchronized with any one of it's replicas?
It would be useful to know and be able to store this in a table.
Hi,I'm looking for a bug/issue tracking solution done entirely in MS Access. Does such a thing exist?My requirements are that it must need only Access, and be accessible in a shared environment solely by opening a .mdb file from a shared folder. It must support various issue lifecycle related things, and the stuff those tracking systems do in general.It may or may not be commercial software.If anyone knows of such an available solution, please let me know.(And yes, I've searched on Google, and haven't found anything worthwile, so that's why I'm asking here now.)thx

Is there a way to track changes made by different users to access tables? For instance if several users update or change data in various records is there a way to track when and what was changed (before and after data)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have read all of the audit trail stuff and searched on my subject but I think my solution could be simpler,
All I want to do is copy the values of the current record on my form into a history table with all the same fields.
Example Form:
[ID], [Machine], [Task], [Task Due], [Task Complete]
I want to put a button on the form that reads complete task and when the user pushes the button it copies all of the details for that specific record they are looking at into my History Table that contains all of the same fields.
This will give me basic history on when each task was completed for a machine and I can access for reporting
I consider myself an intermediate ACCESS user and can get around it with little trouble with the help of the internet and the help file.
I am trying to design a database that is fairly simple in design, it is for tracking the status of documents at our work center. Basically we have personnel reports that are passed around the different people and different dates.
I have a main form that has the info on the person along with dates that it is due.
Then a sub form that has the date sent and where it went to.
My problem lies in that I want to keep track of the whole history of the document but when i print out a report or export the data to excel to put up in powerpoint I need to have just the most recent date sent only item.
I have 2 tables one with user info and another with the routing info with its own primary key along with a identifier key to link the primary and sub form.
Of course it is easy to create a report with the data to show all the different routing steps but not just the one with the most recent date.
Thanks in advance for the help.
