General :: Web App Displaying Fields From Another Table In Related Items
Jul 30, 2015
I have two tables to track our engineer visits, one tracks the visit as a whole and the other tracks the individual instruments the engineer worked on during that visit. This way I can track visits to customer sites separately to the visits made to an individual instrument.
Right now, I create a visit and then add Visit Lines (containing the details of the instrument visited). These instruments, or 'Visit Lines', are being displayed in the Visits Table via a related items box. Visit lines are associated with Instruments in the Instrument Table via a serial number lookup. All this works great...
However, I want to display both the serial number and the instrument description in the related items control in the Visits Table. Since the Visit Lines table only has the instrument ID lookup and not the instrument description I can't display it in the control.
I need to either:
a) Create an instrument description in the Visit Lines table as a lookup and have this automatically pull in the description based on the serial number the user selects.... which I can't figure out how to do - it's just an autocomplete.
b) Create an instrument description in Visit Lines and have a macro grab the corresponding description from the Instruments table based on the serial number input - but just for this record...
Hi im stuck on filtering a combo box (i am using an sql query to populate a combo box with a filtered selection, this is in Access but im after some design sanity checking). I have users who can be assigned a category. Jobs can be assigned a category and also have a list of people working on that job (in the JobDetails table). I have the following tables:
Categories Table: CategoryID (PK) Description
Users Table: UserID (PK) Username CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
Jobs Table: JobID (PK) CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
JobDetails Table: JobID (FK on Jobs.JobID) UserID (FK on Users.UserID)
Then in the job details when listing users for a job (many users can be for one job) i would like to only show the users which have the same category as the jobs category. Is this possible? i tried the SQL below for the lookup column field JobDetails.UserID but it doesnt work:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.CategoryID FROM Users, Jobs WHERE (((Users.CategoryID)=[Jobs].[CategoryID]));
All the tables are linked with relationships but my SQL isnt so hot! Any ideas as to how i would do this and get it working?
Even if it can be done, is this even recommended? I can see funny conditions happening if the job details category changes or the users category changes then even if they are existing in the job details list they will not be shown? Even so, i would be interested in the above to know how it is done (if possible).
I'm building a database which will generate work orders, and those have a opening date and closing date, besides that it has a work order number that is of the following format:
YYYY/ NNN (being the NNN the work order number in that year)
to create the number of the work order I'm trying to fill the WOYear field with the year of the WODate field...but I'm not being able to do it... How should I do it?
I am a beginner in access and I want to populate a new field (REPUN_1 which corresponds to SEGMT_ID in the other table) in my table and this field is coming from another table. The values of the fields need to correspond to the row of my actual table (JMTable) having the same CO_ID, MOVEPLANCD and TTY_NO as the table I want to extract the values from (DI_Treaty_Crosswalk).
Here is my query:
UPDATE JMTable SET [REPUN_1] = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.SEGMT_ID WHERE JMTable.TTY_NO = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.TTY_NO AND JMTable.CO_ID = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.CO_ID AND JMTable.MOVEPLANCD = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.MOVE_PLAN_CD
and it doesn't work since access ask me to enter a parameter value.
I decide to add a new field to its related table. I always wait to create the form until I think my table is complete, but sometimes I just end up needing to add more info. Is there a quick way to update the form to include my new fields?
OK, so I have a database with four tables (Well, more than that, but these are the relevant ones). It's to be used for recording the results of site inspections.
"Tbl_Typicals" is a list of products. We'll call its key "Typical_ID". "Tbl_Actions" is a list of tests performed on each product. A given product may have many tests, but each test applies to only one product. Its key is "Action_ID". Each row contains a Typical_ID to link on. "Tbl_PlantComponents" records which products are installed on which site. Its key is "Component_ID". Each row contains a Typical_ID to link on.
The fourth table ("Tbl_Results") contains the results of each test. As a result of the relationships above, each row is specific to a single Action which applies to a particular PlantComponent, which is to say, each row has both a Component_ID and an Action_ID to link on.
So, what I need is a query that pulls all of these together, such that I can use these details as the line items of a subform.
The main form displays the details of the PlantComponent, which is a simple query to relate line items in Tbl_PlantComponents with the data about that particular product in Tbl_Typicals. So far, so easy.
The subform shows the details of each test applicable to that product. It then has toggle buttons and a comment field to indicate the results of the test, the results of which should be stored as a line item in Tbl_Results.
The "easy" way is to use an append query to generate Tbl_Results in advance. This works, but it raises a variety of new issues.
The nice way would be to use a normal SELECT query and have Access fill in the necessary linking fields (the Action_ID and Component_ID) on each row automatically. Now for trivial examples, this is very easy - my main form query manages just that: I created a link between Tbl_PlantComponents and Tbl_Comments (which stores general comments about each PlantComponent which aren't related to a specific test) based on the Component_ID and that works fine - when I edit the Comments field, the row is automatically created and the linked ID field filled in for me.
However, when I need to do it with 2 links, it all falls apart. I've tried everything I can think of, including generating a single-column unique ID to use for the link, but Access just won't autofill for me. It just makes those fields on the form (or in the datasheet view of the query) non-editable because there's no associated row in Tbl_Results. If I create a matching row in Tbl_Results the query works fine, but that's not the point.
Implementation of the query is non-trivial because it requires two outer joins involving 3 tables - All from Tbl_Actions to matching in Tbl_Results, and All from Tbl_PlantComponents to matching in Tbl_Actions. This necessiates splitting the query into two - the first relates Tbl_PlantComponents, Tbl_Typicals and Tbl_Actions (returning one row for each Action for every Component), and the second performs a single outer join (using an AND) between the first query and Tbl_Results.
I'm creating a database for my job. I have 4 tables with information. When I need to deliver some items i must know which items to take, They are in those 4 tables.
I want to make it that i can click a menu on my switchboard that i see a report with all the information with a clickbox behind it. If i select this box and click a button generate it creates a report with all the items i've selected with the select box.
So in short:
1.) How do I create a table with all the items from the other tables that are automatic updated when insert a items in one of those 4 tables.
2.) How do I create a report where i can select some items that are generating a report with the selected items.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
I am losing records in one table when I delete from another, i.e., I do want to delete records in one, but the related records in the other are also being deleted. This was not happening until I did a recent up date.I created a database in Access 2002 about 8 years ago and my client has been using it successfully ever since. I have occasionally made updates and enhancements. They have over the years upgraded and are now on Office 2010. I'm still using Access 2002.
I recently (3 weeks ago) added a new feature and installed the new code. The database is split, code and data. The new feature was working well, but suddenly they were losing records and they cannot operate until I have it resolved. I spent 2 hours today in their office and could not work out why it was happening.
I have a straight forward client table with names and addresses and some other information. I have another table which links together Clients, Counsellors and Supervisors and works out a room allocation for Therapy sessions. Once the Therapy sessions have been completed, we need to delete the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation, but we do not want to delete the Client record in the Client table. The User is offered the opportunity to either archive the client record or not archive it, that's all. The Archive procedure is simply to put a tick in the "Archive" field, not delete the record.
However, when the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation is deleted, it is also removing the Client record. I do have a relationship between Clients, Counsellor, Supervisor, but it doesn't have "enforce referential integrity", it is just a one-to-one relationship. The odd thing is that when I delete the allocation here at home on my Access 2002 system, it does not delete the Client Record, but it does in their office, using exactly the same code and data.
The Allocation is on a sub form and the way they delete is by highlighting the Allocation and then clicking on the X - Delete button on the Access menu (the program is not very sophisticated, but has worked until now). I have some code in the "on delete" event, but even if I take out all the code and just allow the deletion with the usual Access message "you are about to delete 1 record... " I have seen that the related Client record gets deleted at the same time. it does not happen on my system, only in their office.
SELECT DISTINCT tblvisit.[Pen ID] FROM tblvisit WHERE (((tblvisit.[Visit Date From])<=[forms]![fRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![From]) AND ((tblvisit.[Visit Date To])>=[forms]![FRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![To])) OR (((tblvisit.[Visit Date From]) Between [forms]![FRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![From] And [forms]![FRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![to])) OR (((tblvisit.[Visit Date To]) Between [forms]![FRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![From] And [forms]![FRMBOOKINGAVAILABILITY]![to]));
This successfully finds booked pens in a cattery. How though, can I get to see the pens that are free? Is there a feature that will allow me to conduct this query before conudcting another one to show the values which didn't appear? Thanks:D
|I have completed a stockcontrol database, which i have managed to crack after a lot of hard work. Now there is one more thing that i need to accomplish. This should be dead simple but for some reason i am having a little trouble. I am trying to display all products which have been scrapped. To show that the product has been scrapped there is a tick box. Yes/no value. I presume i need to use a query, would I need to use vb to get ONLY the products which have ticked the check box to be shown? If anyone can help me that would be great!
I have two synchronised combo boxes that are working brilliantly except for 1 thing.
The two boxes are Site and Building. I find a site from the Site box dropdown and only the buildings for that site are shown in the Buildings box dropdown. Perfect!
However, I have got 3 fields showing in my Buildings dropdown.
Private Sub cboSite_AfterUpdate() Me.cboBuilding.RowSource = "SELECT BuildingName, BuildingCode, Status FROM " & _ "BuildingT WHERE SiteID = " & _ Me.cboSite & _ " ORDER BY BuildingName" Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0) End Sub
that is BuildingName, BuildingCode and Status.
All three show in the dropdown BUT only BuildingName shows in the actual Building Box and I would like all 3 to be visible once I have decided on the building name I need!!
Can this be done by changing
Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0) (as above) to Me.cboBuilding = Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(0), Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(1), Me.cboBuilding.ItemData(2) or something similar??
Or do I need to create 2 new boxes to return the other values?? I am so close to achieving what I want with this form!!
I have 2 tables. 1- customers table with 2 fields : customername,customerno 2-conversationstable with 4 fields: date,customername,customerno,details
The conversations table is for keeping memo of telephone conversations with the customers.
I built a simple form deriving from the conversations table. And added to it a combobox with 2 columns from customers table to select the customername an customerno for the form.
While deleting the record in the conversations table,through the form, I saw that the customername and customerno in the customers table of that particular customer record are deleted also. I made no links between both tables.
I am pulling my hair out with what I am sure is a simple task, creating a search form that, when criteria are entered, finds a record and displays related data/results from 3 tables. I have tried every forum and web post I can find but I think there must be something fundamental I'm neglecting to grasp.
Quick background: My database has 4 tables, Firm, Contacts, Mailout and FileNote The database is contact-centric (ie, everything is linked to a contact record, multiple contacts are held against firms, mutiple file notes are held against a contact, contacts can be attached to multiple mailouts) I need to search for a contact record based on multiple criteria (keeping it simple, lets say a combination of first_name & last_name OR first-name & firm_name OR their specific contact ID) I need a 'results form' (not just a datasheet view) that displays all information related to that contact (i.e. all files notes + ability to create new ones, firm contact information, and mailout history)
I've created a Main form with Firm, Mailout, Contact & Filenote subforms embedded that enables me to scroll through every contact and view all related detail (as above) and add file notes & modify data very nicely. My problem is I can't search, I can only move through each record sequentially. Very handy when we have 4000 contacts!
I realise I'm probably a complete wally but could someone please explain to me the vital steps I'm missing? I've tried unbound fields, I've built SQL queries & command buttons (but results are dumped into a datasheet)....I'm lost.
I have a table of items for our companies quotes. When we go to print out our quotes to send to the customers, the salespeople would like most of the items to be grouped under certain "headers" for the systems they are part of.
Ex:
Autopilot System Part #1 Qty 2 Part #2 Qty 1
PA/GA System Part #4 Qty 4 Part #5 Qty 1
My 'Items' table currently has these fields:
ID (PK) System_ID (FK for 'Systems' table) Part_No Qty
etc...
'Systems' table has these:
ID (PK) Sys_Description
I have a query using a RIGHT JOIN and a GROUP BY to tie everything together, I'm just not certain how to go about displaying the information the way I did above.
I have a form with a textbox, listbox and a button.
my textbox is based on one of my tables, and when I enter a value (which is saved in my table) in my textbox and press enter, certain values in my table goes to my listbox, and my listbox will just additem whenever I do same thing in my textbox all overagain.
how can I subtract listbox.column(1) items in my table field "Item_Quantity" where my Listbox.column(0) is equal to my table field "Item_Description".
My Listbox column count property = 4 Row source type = value list
I have two options on the main switchboard page and when I click on the second option it goes to a secondary page that gives me 3 options with the third option being to return to the main screen. When I select that option it does go back to the main screen but then on the main screen it shows the return to main screen option as well and when I select it.... it says " There was an error reading the switchboard items table." But I want the main screen to only show the original two options only.
I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000 B=3000 C=3000 D=3000 F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
How could I create a single table (matrix) type input view to allocate bank transactions to categories, noting one transaction can be allocated multiple categories with an associated percentage? What approach should I use in Access to get this? So say I have the following tables:
* Transactions * Business Category * Transaction-Business-Allocation (which includes) - Transaction ID - Business Category ID - Percent Allocation
But in terms of the means of reviewing bank account items and allocating I really want a view like this (see attached image)The specific business category could be either selected specifically, or all included.
Is it possible to connect data so that when one field of a record is entered the rest of the fields associated with that first field of the record automatically fill in?
Example: If I were to enter a new contact record name in the name field I want the corresponding fields of address, city, state, zip, phone....etc. to fill in automatically.
I have a table called BID with the following fields
bidder, seller, iid, starttime, bidtime, and bidprice
bidder is an id number that is reference to uid of table USER
the USER table have the following fields,
uid, uname, city, and state
I created a BID form for the user to enter data into the BID table. What I am trying to do but is having trouble with is have the user search for their name that may already be store in the uname field in the user table, and what ever they choose base on their search, the uid of this uname gets store into the bidder field of the bid table.
I still have a second step where the user in the bid form can search the iid but shows the itemname from the item table, and the value of seller, iid, and starttime from the auction table gets populated into the bid table.
iid from the auction table is reference to the itemtype and the following fields exist in the itemtype table.
Hi! I have a table with several fields. I would like to have a lookup in one field (combo list - get data from another table field) and for 2 other related field have the coressponding data appear automatically according to the selection in the lookup field.
How do I use fields in related tables to create a calc field? The wizard only shows me the current table's fields. Can I do create me desired field by manually creating the calculation and bypassing the wizard? Or is this another restriction of Access?
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
