Generating A History In Access
Feb 19, 2008
Is there any way to leave a trail or history everytime a record is changed? We have kids in our database that sometimes go to follow-along when our service will not work for them at the present time. These kids go in and out sometimes several times. Since there is no absolute way of knowing, we have to create a new record everytime they come back to our service. I would like to be able to see a history of status changes along with some dates. Is there anyway to do this? If anyone knows, let me know. If not, oh well. Thanks guys.

I'm struggling with a table design. My problem is how do I keep the history for one sports franchise no matter how many times they move or change their name? I want individual team info as well as franchise team info.
i.e.
Team #1 Brooklyn Dodgers has many transactions
Brooklyn moves to LA
Team #2 is Los Angeles and they have many transactions
etc, etc.
How would I build my tables if I wanted to write SQL statements to give me all transacation from the entire franchise? I only need help with the teams. I already have a junction for the transactions.
ie All Transactions for all teams who started with Brooklyn. This will grow to 5-6 teams eventually.
My initial idea was a self join in the teams table
Code:tblTeamsTeamID PKTeamNameHistoricalTeamID
TeamID = 1
TeamName = Brooklyn
HistoricalTeam ID = 1
TeamID = 2
TeamName = LA
Historical Team ID = 1
etc.
I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I need to generate a pre-formatted letter from within MS Access, where the name, address and other information will be pulled from the current record on an Access Form.
Basically it is like a welcome letter I could send to any new client I enter into the data base. Since I am doing one letter at the time, mail merge in MS Word is not an option
What would be the easiest way to do this?
Thanks

I have a table with one field set as a hyperlink. I have to generate the hyperlink according to what else is going on in the record, I do this by assembling a text string which I can write to a text field in the same record. I have no problem doing this but when I try to copy that string into the Hyperlink field I get type mismatch. Incidentally if I put two text boxes on a form and bind one to the text and one to the hyperlink field the I can 'cut and paste' it OK so how come I can't do it with Access basic?
Dim stGunlib As String
Dim stGunlib2 As String
stGunlib2 = [Stock number]
stGunlib = "www.shooting.uk.com/Gunlibrary/" + stGunlib2 + ".jpg"
[Link] = stGunlib
[Picture] = stGunlib ([Picture] is a hyperlink field) it goes wrong here
I am using Access 2002
Thanks Dennis

Hi,
I currently have a "customer" form (which displays client details from a table - name, address etc) I would like to add history comments for each customer.
Does anyone know how i would go about doing this.
I image i could press a button on the current "customer" form that will open a history form which after typing a comment would be displayed on the main "customer" form, with date, time and comment.
I would obviously be able to add lots of comments to each record.
i would be greatful for any kind of help
Regards
Chris

Hi. I am creating a contact management database. Also I am new to Microsoft Access. How would I create a calling history record for each of the clients in the contact database?

Hi,
I am trying to create a historical record of Employees at our business. What I would like to do is have a query that will create a begin date and create that date for each day starting w/ like 1/1/06 and continue thru Date()-1. For example:
Jane Doe and John Doe started employment on 1/1/06. Jane Doe was employed until 1/5/06. So using their "Hire Date" I would like the query to do this..
Created Name Hire Date Termination
1/1/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06
1/1/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/2/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06
1/2/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/3/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06
1/3/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/4/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06
1/4/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/5/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06
1/5/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/6/06 John Doe 1/1/06
1/7/06 John Doe 1/1/06
So in this case Jane Doe will show up every day in the "Employee List" until she was terminated. Is it possible to loop a date like this in a query or will I have to make an estranged table with a list of dates? TIA for any help.

Hi
I have 2 fields - "Balance" and "Date" - each time data in the "balance" field changes, the "Date" field updates to todays date (thanks to help from Kiwiman in the forum earlier).
I now need to keep a history/log of all data input into balances and the dates.
The new field to store this information is called "Balance History". so an example of what i want to end up with would be
01/01/08 300.00
01/02/08 250.00
12/02/08 210.00
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Geoff

Hi Guys
I am pretty new to programming with access but i am trying to create a database system with history logs and i am stuck on how to structure it.
I'll explain a little more, i am trying to setup an application so that if somebody brings an item into myself to purchase i can book it into the system so that it records the customer that it came in with and also the item details. I will then need to resell this product onto another customer, the problem i am having is that once the item has been purchased and sold on i will then need to keep a record of this so that if the customer comes back with the same item he has purchased to resell back to us we can keep all the details in history so that each product that is purchased and re-sold has all its past history from every customer that has purchased it and sold it back to me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

I am creating a database for a company that sells a product with a variety of options.
They have all their previous orders in a works spreadsheet file. Each customer has their own file with every order for the past 15 years. There are probably about 1.5 million records.
The company wants all those 1.5 million records accessible in their access database.
I've brought in about 20 records for the history and they can run a query to see a customer's past orders by their account number.
My question: Should I put all the history into one gigantic table or would it be best to try and create separate tables for the history? (Maybe history by state.)
The history table then will take the new orders each year and add to that table.
(Eventually, once the database gets done I'm thinking we'll have to step up to SQL but not sure.)
Thanks for any advice.

Hi all, I need some help figuring this problem out. I’ll keep it simple. I have a data entry form with 3 text boxes where you can enter product name, serial number and comments. A save button writes the entry to a table called “Products”. That’s all fine.
I also have a data edit form and this is what I need some help with. The product name will always remain the same but the serial number and comments may change. Should a change be made, I want the existing record being modified to go into a table called History before the Products table is updated with the new serial number and comments. The idea is to keep a full traceability of all the changes made when a report is printed off. What’s the easiest way to this please? thanks

Hello.
I'm building a history table to keep track of some changes that occur on one of my forms.
Here is what I'm using to build my history table:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblDateCycleTestingChanges", dbOpenDynaset)
With rs
.AddNew
![CycleTestingDatesID] = Me.CycleTestingDatesID.Value
![Changed] = Now()
![ClientID] = Me.ClientID.Value
![ProjectID] = Me.ProjectID.Value
![TaskID] = Me.TaskID.Value
![TaskStartDt] = Me.TaskStartDt.Value
![TaskEndDt] = Me.TaskEndDt.Value
.Update
End With
Set rs = Nothing
End If
I have 2 questions:
1. I'm not sure where to insert this event. I'm thinking on Before_Update on the updated field? (I don't want to put it into Before_Update for a form event as I have other things that are being filled out/changed and I only want to keep track if certain fields on the forms are updated/changed.
2. I would also like to keep track of Old and New values for those specific fields. Is that at all possible?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.
I would like to know how to create a history table that will copy information from a field called "Status" on my form just in case I inadverently erase old information from that field without me being aware of it with my keyboard keys etc. In others words when I'm am interrupted by someone and I didn't notice I had erase the information by mistake and closed out the form and realized when I go back into it, my old information have been erased and I don't have that information documented anywhere else to re-enter that old information into the Status section on my form.
Thanks.

Recording to a table Who is logged on to Database, When they logged on and when they logged off.
Gets tricky as I really would like the info to come from the mdw file(all users go through this for access)
If someone can help would be great. Need my hand held for this as I have been attempting to do this for over a month with no real success. I have so many samples that don’t quite make it happen I am now totally confused.
Forever grateful - every crumb helps

I have created a table for customer bills, and a table for customer profiles which contains rates associated with them specifically. The problem is that after a new rate change has been imposed I want to be able to look at an old bill, via a report, and have it reflect the "old" rate within proper historical context. I'm looking for suggestions on how to best manage ongoing rate changes while maintaining a billing rate history in my reports?

Dear All,
I have a MAIN table which stores the most recent info of a record with
following details:
Unique_Ref_Num|Status|Dept
1 |6 | 1
and a second table called history which records changes in the main table
HistoryID | Status | DateStamp
1 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:00#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:01#
2 | 1 | #22/10/2007 09:05#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 09:06#
1 | 2 | #22/10/2007 11:00#
2 | 3 | #22/10/2007 15:00#
1 | 3 | #22/10/2007 16:00#
2 | 2 | #22/10/2007 16:10#
Where Status 1 = Open, 2 = Allocated and 3 = Closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to get the count of number of queries which are not closed
(outstanding) at any point in time.
Example: (with a time parameter)
Input | Result
22/10/2007 17:00 | 1
22/10/2007 16:05 | 0
22/10/2007 14:00 | 2
I want to achieve this with just 1 query (not by using one query within the
other) b,coz I want to further use this query from Excel VBA (write through
Excel VBA and not store the query within Access)
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

I would like to track the revision history of table records. To do so, I have created tables with two-key fields. A typical table is tblPO_Data. The first key field is PO_Number and the second key field is PO_Revision. Data fields follow.
A key element of this table is that each record may have any number of data fields left blank AND later revisions may only show the "changed" field values.
To Illustrate tblPO_Data:
PO_Number PO_Revision Length Width Height Weight Quant UPrice
100 _________0___________10_____15___________________2 ____20
100__________1_________________________30
100__________2_________________________35____100
200 _________0_______________________________________1 ____10
NOW I would like to create a query that lists one record for each PO number, showing the most recently revised data. The desired result would look like:
PO_Number PO_Revision Length Width Height Weight Quant UPrice
100_____________2_______10_____15_____35_____100__ ___2____20
200_____________0_________________________________ ___1____10
Please realize that this is an example. There would be numerous one to one tables for each PO number to reduce the number of blank fields (ie. only tables with changes would be get revised records).
Can someone suggest a way to create a query to accomplish the above requirements, thanks in advance, Jeff...
