I'm trying to create a checklist in my access database that can be assigned to different companies. Is there a way to maintain a blank checklist so that we don't have to recreate it every time we start working with a new company?
I am trying to create a simple audit trail (which I got directions online) in my Database (and have posted a copy here) but am getting an error on the second form (and this will be a subform eventually) -The Audit Trail instructions say to put four fields in my table which feeds the form - CreateBy=Text, CreateDate=Date/Time and default to =now(), ModBy=text, and ModDate=Date/Time.
Then to add code to the Current and BeforeUpdate events on the form as you will see in my forms attached. I created a test database with very little data (called AuditTrackingTest2DBLp-attached). I created the first table (tblCustomers) and then created the form (FormCustomerInput) and then I added code to this form on the Current and BeforeUpdate as I was instructed in my notes and it recorded my changes perfectly in the tblCustomers.
I then created a new table called tblCustomerOrders and then a form (FormCustomerSubOrders) based on this table and added the same code to this form and it is giving me an error message in the code Compile Error: Variable not defined.
I was looking to see if there was an easy way to create a user front end desktop application for a small access database.I have three users on different computers i would like them to input or amend data within one table of the access database.
I want to create a database that keeps track of contributions of members of an association. Every member can voluntarily give a standing order to contribute a fixed amount every month. A member can as well decide to review his/her contribute.
how I can come up with a database that can automatically add the contribution of a member monthly without manual input since the stated contribution is known. So that I can run a report for individual member and the report can capture the every monthly contribution that has been added automatically and shows when ever a member changes his/her contribution amount.
I 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 have limited programming skills but a basic understanding of databases.I want to create a database in Access that links to contacts in an Outlook pst file, and in the Access database I want to create a series of date dependant tasks or processes that I can apply to the relevant contact.The object being to to save that collection of tasks to apply to different contacts within Access.
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 am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open. and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
I need to create a database for students going on work experience.
Each of the students will have a rating from 1-6 depending on behaviour, effort and attainment. Each of the work placements also has a rating from 1-6. Each student chooses 6 work placements that they would like to attend (one of each rating)
If all the data for the students and the workplacements are entered into the system is it possible to match appropriate students to appropriate workplacements using MS Access 2003?
I was wondering if there was a way to log all the modifications made to a database in a table with user name and time of modification. I have been searching this for quite a long time but no use. Please help if you know the solution.
I'm trying to create my own database from queries. the queries retreive data from and ODBC data source. How do I create table from query but I don't want any old data from table to be deleted whenever there's a change of data in ODBC data source. I just want to keep pushing in new information without deleting the old ones, even though those old information have been deleted from the ODBC source.
Hello everyone. I am a magician entertainer in Las Vegas. I am trying to create a database that will help me access (pun intended) information in my books and dvds.
I need to be able to search for a specific trick or balloon sculpture from among my vast library.
I have gone through the MS tutorials, but when I actually tried to create the forms--maybe I'm doing it backward-- to input data and retrieve data it just didn't work.
Any help would be welcome. I realize from reading the posts that this is a serious forum and that a newbie question like this can be annoying. I assure you that on the entertainer forum that I post regularly I try to help even the most newbie of questions, so please be kind.
I have been tasked with creating a database but I have no previous experience using access. I will be using version 2007. I have to create a database of vendors. These are vendors from all round the world who sell my company different products. So far I have 9 spreadsheets with lists of hundreds of vendors from different sections of the company.
I need to create a database that allows someone to search for a vendor and all the details will appear. The excel sheets have columns for vendor name, country based in, commodity type, address, contact name, phone number, email address and which part of my company use the vendor (an abbreviation). Not all of the information is available for each vendor.
Ideally I would be looking for something with search buttons, filters and the option to just show all vendors.
When I click the Create MDE button I get the error message You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'MySysAccessStorage'.
I am a user who has been making some improvements to our database. Now that I want to test the improvements I need to create an mde, but can't.
The database was created in Access 2003 and I am now using Access 2007 on windows 2010. The original developer advised that we continue to use mde format - something to do with the runtime version everyone else who uses the database have.what I need to do to convert my mdb to an mde?
The Db I need to create should give the people at my office a good search functionality for looking up when a boat starts a cruise, how long that cruise is (varying from 4 - 16 days), which sites it will visit (multiple sites per day), what the capacity of the boat is (max passengers), if it can be usd for diving or not, if it is in maintenance or not.
what I have so far:
Table 1: Boats BoatName - PK (102 boats in total) CapacityID - FK ClassID - FK TypeID - FK MaintenanceID - Yes/No - FK DivingID - Yes/no FK
How to connect everything together. How can I make this all work together so that I can have my colleagues search for a boat that sails on a certain day of the week (i.e. Friday), a certain date, for a certain amount of time abd/or with certain sites to visit? To make it more complicated, all boats have various routes they travel and of various lengths, leaving on various days of the week.
I have a form which a user selects an activity from a combo box. On some occasions a user may need to enter the same activity a number of times. I want to add a text box/combo box that a user can enter or select a number. When the user hits the submit button i want the records created in the database to match the number specied fied in the text/combo boxes.
I think i may need to use an INSERT statement but totally confused how to do this.
An ancient application I'm working with came with .ini file which looks like an instruction set to create an access database. A sample few lines look like:
TABLE, USER, 13 FIELD,USRID,LONG,2,NODUP,ID,False,0,AUTO FIELD,USRFNAME,TEXT, 50, NO, , True, 1
I've read instructions for making a multi-user Access 2007 database. Summary is:
1) Split the database 2) Put back-end part of the split onto shared drive 3) Make copy of front-end of the split and give to each user of the database 4) Open Tools, Options, Advanced Tab. Set the default open mode to shared and the default record locking to edited record. While in options area, go to general tab and turn off compact on close and name autocorrect.
These instructions were posted by an Ms-Access MVP.My questions is about step 4. How do these settings get saved to the particular database that I am trying to make multi-user? None of these settings are in the Current Database Tab for Ms-Access 2007. Since they are in the general tab, does that mean all database I open with my copy of Ms-Access will take on these multi-user settings?
I have an old ERP system. The upload function is one line per value. So if I want to upload 7 models I need 7 lines, not one line with Qty of 7 however my source system sends the data as one line with Qty of 7
so in this example line 1 is fine. But line two needs 7 lines, and line 3 needs 7 lines and line 4 147 lines etc etc etc.so this is how the first three lines would look in the query.
