I have a database with numerous tables. I have set up relationships between all tables (they are all pretty one-to-many relationships). I then created forms in which to enter and view data. Data entry is fine; however, when I go into my tables, I realize that it is not storing the ID# for related tables in the main table.
For example - I have a table called "ContractTypes" with a field for ID#. That table is linked to the main table called "Contracts. In the form, I have the ContractType as a lookup field, I select the one I want for this entry, but it is not storing that ContractTypeID into the Contracts table. Also, when I go back into the form to enter a new record, the data on the subforms is from the previous record and not the record I'm currently working on. In other words, it does not appear to be linking the ID#s from the different tables.
I have created an Access 2000 Db, and have gone through the motions of splitting the Db via the Splitting Tool. Since I have done this split, I have added forms, queries, and reports to the Front End. I have left the Back end table structures alone.
This is where my problem comes into play. To enter data into the Db, I use the forms. After splitting the Db, I assumed that the data would be stored in the tables in the BE. An issue had just presented itself and I went into the BE table structure to add a field to a couple of the tables, and when I opened the BE table in the datasheet view, I noticed that there were no records. I then became curious because when I run my reports and queries, the information is present. So I opened the FE tables and what do you know, all the data I have input since the split is housed in the FE tables.
I already attempted to Update the Table Links, but that did not solve the problem, and the data is still in the FE.
Can someone, anyone please help or offer some suggestions on how to resolve this dilemna.
In the case of a system that keeps track of checking in and out (e.g. library books), where is the archive data stored? If a person makes 30 trips to the library, obviously one record will be the current visit - but where do you keep the 29 other visits?
Do you create a separate table for old check-outs: Current_Check_Out and Archive_Check_Out?
Or do you just leave the data in place and as-is: All_Check_Outs?
I have combo boxes on a form which are pulling values from a one table and being stored in another table. However they are being stored as '1' or '2' in the other table once selected on the form, as instead of being stored as their literal values ie 'car' or 'van'. Is there any way of making this happen, as it makes reporting a nightmare! Thanks in advance...

I have a stored procedure created in SQL SERVER 2008r2
I have a form in access adp project with combo boxes, when I click the submit button I want the values chosen to be the parameters and the stored procedure called to generate a report
I've read some really funny stuff while searching for an answer to this. You're a bunch of really witty types :)
So I'm sure someone can help me - why would this entered data not make it into the table?
I have a form that has a subform. After the subform I have a button to continue. If this is clicked I change the visible property for another field to true. This field appears to work fine, but the data doesn't make it to the underlying table, in fact it sometimes seems to be included in the next record.
I have a make couple of Forms and couple of tables.
My problem is how to I connect the form to the table, so it will store entered data from the form to the table. There are about 2-4 places where the user can enter data into the Form and it should be stored to a table. I made 5 forms and 5 tables, where the user fills out the first form and clicks next and next form opens and so on.
If possibly I would like to skip all the coding that can be used.
I am running into an issue when trying to compare data stored within the same table.
tblParcels - holds data relating to an individual parcel of land; unique identifier is ParcelID. No repeating data.
tblValues - holds data relating to the value(s) of each parcel; new values entered annually; unique identifier is TaxID; has field to link to tblParcels. One parcel can have multiple entries for each year tracked.
I have two unbound text boxes on frmMainForm where users can enter Tax Years to compare (txtYear1 and txtYear2). Theory being that users will be able to select any two tax years and compare the parcel values.The report (rptMaster) is built using three queries and is used to show the change in value between txtYear1 and txtYear2:
qryYear1 - pulls all values from tblValues where the TaxYear equals the year typed in txtYear1.
qryYear2 - pulls all values from tblValues where the TaxYear equals the year typed in txtYear2.
qryCompare - joins the results from qryYear1 and qryYear2, along with other common fields, and populates rptMaster.
My problem lies when a parcel does not have any values for one or both of the years entered into the text boxes. I completely understand why, qryCompare can't show any records if there are no results coming from either qryYear1 or qryYear2. What I am not getting is how to work around this issue.I would like for the report to show "$0.00" for the value if there is not a value for that Parcel in tblValues for the year entered.
tblValues example data: TaxID ParcelID TaxYear Value 1 5 2011 100,000 2 5 2012 200,000 3 6 2012 75,000
In the example above, when comparing 2012 values to 2011 values, my report shows the values for ParcelID 5 but not for ParcelID 6 as it does not have a 2011 value (and won't since information about that parcel didn't exist in 2011).
I have two different database files. One is 2010 ".accdb" format where I have created a form and the inputs to the form is getting saved as records to an access.mdb file in a shared path.Now if the users want to edit the existing record I should allow them to search their previously submitted record with a unique ID number.
I know it is possible when we have both the form and table in the same db. But I want to know whether it is possible to search with a unique ID and pull the data from different db in a shared path using a command button?
I have a table called Client Info which stores the clients name and their requirements (Gas safe etc). And I have a table "Job List" where i select from a drop down menu the clients and it auto fills all the requirement check boxes based on what is stored in the Client Info table. However I can't get the code to work.
Private Sub Client_Click() [job_list].[Gas_Safe].Value = [client_info].[Gas_Safe].Value End Sub
I have a problem converting text to a real date value so I can do some calculations. I have a query that brings in data from an external data source. It appears the data is stored in the external table in text format and looks like this:
20050902 15:40:41
I have tried CDate to convert the text to a date/time format, but no luck. Any ideas?
I have an Access 2007 database with two tables (I will call them table 1 and table 2)
Both tables contain the same two fields. (I will call the FirstName and LastName)
Table 1 has an associated Form where the user enters the two names. When the value in either one of the two fields in Table 1 change I want the corresponding field in Table 2 to automatically update with the same value that were entered in Table 1. Basically I want Table 2 to automatically replicate the same data in Table 1. So if I type the text "John" into the FirstName field in Table 1 then the FirstName field in Table 2 will automatically update with the text "John"
I am new to access and am struggling with the automatic updating.
If the automatic part is too hard then I will be happy to attach the update action to a command button.
I have uploaded my database file with the two tables for reference. I want to get the fields (for all records) in table 2 to replicate table 1 so that when table 1 updates table 2 values changes to show the same text.
Table 1 has National Insurance Number, first name, last name, phone no, address. Table 2: has National Insurance Number and email address.
Table 1 is the master table where it will link to table 2 containing the email addresses of the individuals.
However, there will be a lot of email addresses in table 2 which do not relate to any record in table 1 because I do not have the individual in my database yet.
BUT I want to keep their email address because in the future this person may enlist in my imaginary business and therefore - if they do I would have their email address!
1. Is this possible in Access?
In Excel, it would be the case of a simple vlookup from the email address field into another sheet containing the National Insurance Number and email address.
2. Would it be possible to establish a one-one relationship while enforcing referential integrity?
3. Is there a way I can establish a lookup which can be built into table 1 which can lookup the email address of a person in table 2, matching on National Insurance Numbers?
So in the future if new data is input into table 1 or 2 which results in a match of National Insurance ID numbers, the outcome would mean an email address is now paired to the corresponding individual it belongs to.
I have two tables that I'm struggling with how to relate to each other. One is tblHardware which contains all the items that we sell. There are no duplicates in this table. The only columns are a part #, description, long description, and cost.
Then I have another table with is tblPackages. These are the packages we sell which pull from tblHardware. This one just has an autonumber, description, and image (image I'll add later and not worried about now).
What I'm struggling with is how to tie these two together because one Package will contain multiple items from Hardware however there are multiple Packages that have the same Hardware items (17" monitor for example).
I created a form that allows users to enter data into the fields and populates the table.But can I have it do that and populate instead of one table, two tables?
I have specific query related to Access, Currently I'm trying to create all possible combination of lot data. I need to know if this would be possible in MS Access.Below is simple example of what is required
I have 3 sets of data for which I've to create all the possible combinations but with restrictions.Below are few of my restrictions
1. "Value2" always comes with "GateC" & Vice versa but, both don't exist independently. 2. "Value4" always takes "TokenW", But "TokenW" exists independtly as well doesn't need Value4 always.
Table one is for person ID Table two is for number of absences
I created a one-to-many relationship with the update/delete option selected. It didn't work when I wanted to add new data into the tables (via form). Then I tried a many-to-many relationship (with a third table) but it doesn't seem logical to do so, as I only need to add particular data into one table, but need a field from the 1st to differentiate records.
(table 1 = one record per person, table 2 = multiple records for 1 person)
We have an "item" table that contains information specific to an item (the item number is unique); and multiple "production line" tables. There is a relationship between the Items table and the Production Line tables (all 8 of them). Each item can be entered on 1 or more production line tables because one item may be produced on multiple lines and the settings vary based on the line they're produced. When entering an item in the Production table we MUST make a selection from the Item table.
Now, what I want to do is identify which item number(s) from the Items table does not have a specific field entry in ANY of the Production Line tables.
I work in an office with Office2000. One branch of our non-profit organisation had a volunteer design a database in Access to track the usage of rented storage bins.The database works great for its intended purpose, however the volunteer is not available and the front-end is so locked down that I can't get into the table structure to run some usage queries I need for my own job, which is Resource Development (donations).
I don't know what to say to give more info, because the computer is a stand-alone in a different department detached from the network, so I have to physically go to the other end of the building & work in it, I can't get screencaps etc easily, and most of the menus have been disabled so it doesn't even give me the info about the version of Access etc.
Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.
I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type 12345, 67890, 1 12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345 12345, 54321 ...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
