Hopefully this is an easy one. I've got a table with (for example) a list of books sold (field 1) and the price they each sold for (field 2). There are duplicates in both field 1 and field 2. I'd like to create a new table that has each book's name exactly once, and the maximum value it sold for. How can I do that?
Thanks!

I was able to create a very user-friendly pop-up search form : {URL] .....
I would like to take it a step further... Now, I would like to grab the selected record ID from within one of the list box columns and use it in my SQL statement (to copy the record into a new one). Is there any way to reference a highlighted record value within a list box recordset directly and/or any workarounds?
I know one would be to grab the ID and insert it into the text box, just don't know what the coding references would be for this.
In my database I have 4 tables for a small painting and decorating business.
These are:
tblCustomers, tblOrders, tblStock, tblPayments.
I have a form based on tblOrders to add new orders when they come in from customers.
In this form there are 3 important fields: "CustomerID" (Lookup to tblCustomers), "StockID" (Lookup to tblStock) and Quantity (Entered by user).
However, I want a calculated field that will be worked out automatically when the user is entering these details. The calculated field should go to tblStock and grab the "Cost" field.
However the main problem is specifying what price it will grab from the table. I want it to get the "Cost" where "StockID" = (the stock ID selected in the lookup). I then want to multiply the price by the quantity which the user has entered.
The control source should be worded something like:
= ([tblStock]![Cost] where [StockID] = StockID)*Quantity
but that isn't valid.
Could anyone point me to a piece of VBA or some way to get around my problem?
Many thanks for any help,
Stephen
Hi,
My boss wants me to program in visual basic, instead of using queries, a calculation between times, which values are gotten from a table. How do I perform a calculation between two fields from a table in code and what functions are there to calculate the amount of difference in minutes between times in visual basic? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

I have two third-party library programs that allow you to type in an ISBN and the software searches, say Amazon, and grabs particular missing data: author, cover jpg and summary etc, and imports the info to the program. I'd like to replicate this process with Access. If I can type in an author, title or ISBN to Access, I'd like it to search Amazon to gather and input the missing data to my assigned fields. Is this possible? Or am I stuck to typing in the information separately.

simple problem. how would i grab just the last six digits of a social security number?

I'm guessing that I should use the Format function, but I'm not quite sure how to write it. Thanks!

I have a report that is generated daily that is a TXT file that is also the has the same file name each morning. One section out of this file is needed in a database that compiles and sends out reports to our customers. This section of the TXT file is variable in length, but is always preceded and ends with a specific text string that I can search for. It is also formatted in columns that are always the same width.
I currently have to hand enter this section into the database every morning. Not the easiest of tasks... I would like to get this automated.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2010. I need to calculate a score based on values selected in a table by looking up corresponding values in other tables. I have a "Project" form to create new entries into the Project table (see Table 1). When I create a new project record, I will select values for the Payback and Need fields by selecting options from a list. The Payback list is pointed at Table 2 and the Need list is pointed at Table 3. In the below example, I created the "ABC" project and selected "1 year" for the Payback field and "Repair" for the Need field. Pretty simple.
Now that I have the "ABC" project loaded to my Project table, I'd like to create a report that will show a "score" for this project. The score should be calculated as follows: Payback Impact + Need Impact. In this example, the score should be 30 (Payback Impact of 20 + Need Impact of 10).
I have the following dataset in a table called NR_PVO_120. How do i pick out a number (which can change but let's say, 6) of UNIQUE OtherIDs without excluding any OtherIDs under any fax numbers?
So, if you pick OtherID from Row7 you then also must pick OtherIDs from rows 8 and 9 because they have the same fax number. Basically, once you pick an OtherID you're then obligated to pick all OtherIDs that have the same fax number as the one you picked.
If the number requested (6 for this example) isn't possible then "the closest number possible but not exceeding" would be the rule.
For example, if you take OtherIDs from rows 1-10 you will get 6 unique OtherIDs but row 10 shares a fax with rows 11 and 12. You either need to take all 3 (but that will raise the unique count to 8, which isn't acceptable) or skip this OtherID and find one with a fax that has no other OtherIDs and that isn't on the result set already. My result of 6 UNIQUE OtherIDs will need to contain ALL OtherIDs under any fax the existing OtherIDs are connected to.
So one solution is to take rows 1-6, 26. Another is to take rows 1-4,10-14.
There will be many possibilities (the real dataset has tens of thousands of rows and the number of people requested will be around 10K), as long all OtherIDs connected to all faxes on the result set are part of the requested number (6 in this case) any combination would do.
A few notes.
1.Getting as close as possible to the requested number is a requirement.
2.Some OtherIDs will have a blank fax, they should only be included as a last resort (not enough OtherIDs for the requested number).
my table (NR_PVO_120)
Row OtherID Fax
1 11098554 2063504752
2 56200936 2080906666

This is for a fax campaign, we need to make sure no fax number is faxed twice, that all people connected to that fax number are contacted under one fax sent.
In Access 2010 I have a Data Entry Form on which I have an unbound textbox in the header that the user can put a default date in. In the body of the form is a bound textbox that records the date and the default value is set as =defaultdatestat (obviously the name of the box in the header).
Problem: The default date shows up perfectly until a value is put in any of the other text boxes.
For further info : If you put values in text boxes default value disappears; if you then push escape the default value reappears when the values in the text boxes disappear.
I have a query with an INNER JOIN and ORDER BY that is working great. Now, using the same JOIN, I need to update values in one table with the values in another. I thought it would be simple until I learned you can't do an ORDER BY with an UPDATE. Is there another way to achieve the same result? If you remove the 'ORDER BY', the statement below doesn't produce an error but the results are not correct:
UPDATE TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON (Left(TableA.CDN,6))=(TableB.CDN)
SET TableA.HCC = TableB.HCC
WHERE TableB.HCC Like '241*' AND TableB.BBB = 'X' AND TableA.CCC = "1234" AND TableA.HCC IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY TableB.HCC, TableA.CDN;
I have several result fields which are all drop down lists. I want each result field's drop down list values to be different depending on the selected value of the Test1 drop down list.I came up with using the .rowsource keyword. My syntax seems to be fine but I'm not getting any values under the result fields when I run the form.Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Test1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Test1 = "Stress Echo" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress SPECT" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress PET" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress MRI" Then
Me.Test1Result2.RowSourceType = "Value List"
Me.Test1Result3.RowSourceType = "Value List"

I'd like to create a query which will consist of simple SELECT statements as follows:
SELECT [table1].[field1], [table2].[field1], [table2].[field2]
FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON ([table1].[fieldX] = [table2].[fieldX]);
The challenge arises b/c instead of joining on equal values, such as the following:
[table1] INNER JOIN [table2] ON [table1].[field1] = [table2].[field1]
I would like to join based on equivalencies, such as:
[table1] INNER JOIN [table2] ON [table1].[field1] = 34 is equivalent to [table2].[field1] = 2;
I do not know the proper syntax, so this is where I need help. I tried to search online without any success.
I appreciate your help in advance.
I'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Grape Fruit
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
A789 Carrot Vegetable
A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
I have two tables.descriptions I'd like to relate and use to find/replace in bulk.
[Checking].[Description] (with the source data)
[Rename].[NewDescription] (with the correct data)
I'd like the values in [Checking].[Description] to be replaced with the values in [Rename].[NewDescription], including those that are "Like".
Examples:
[Checking].[Description] = Geico 12345
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
[Checking].[Description] = Geic
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
I have a travel time database that should tally the number of minutes traveled and convert them into a time (hours and minutes). I, however, am having difficulty converting the numeric values cleanly. Is there anyway to convert 102 minutes + 100 minutes + 110 minutes = 312 minutes to 5 hours and 12 minutes cleanly? I need to take averages of time traveled and hours worked but cannot do this correctly. Thank you for any help in advance.:eek:
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a text box in a form that user can enter the value.
How can I check if the value entered by user is already existed in the record of the linked table or not?
If the value (or record) do not exist, that new value/record will be added to

If the value do exist, just show the msgbox to indicate.
How can I do that ? :confused:

i have one table in which ID is Primary ID with Different Values
Like
ID NAME PAN
1 A X
1 B Y
1 A X
2 C Z
2 C G
3 D U
it shows that ID 1 having 2 Name (A& B,with PAN, X & Y ,respectively).how can i get this that ID having More than 1 Value like 1 and how can i select only these records ID which having more than 1 value and how can i update values for 1 ID.
Firstly, is it possible to hide unchecked values in a listbox? I have a user with several roles and I want to only show the ticked roles in the listbox.
Secondly, can you create a hyperlink on listbox values? i.e, if I click on "Manager" in the roles listbox, it follows that to another form and opens the record about managers?
I need for Access only to sum the "hours worked" of my payroll data, only if another field, "pay code" meets a certain criteria.
In Payroll, some codes are used to designate actual hours worked like REG (Regular Hours) and like OTS (Overtime Straight) while other codes are added as "premiums" to these hours and do not mean that you actually worked those hours, like OTP and HOD (Overtime Premium & Holiday Premium). The hours are only added as a reference to the actual hours worked they are attached to. Their units should not be counted as hours worked.
I want Access to 1) Group By Cost Center, 2) Sum "Hours Paid" that are tied to a REG or OTS (only), but 3)Sum the Earnings for all pay types.
Basically, (in excel-like terms: Hours Paid Column= SUMIF of Paycode = REG OR OTS. But Earnings Amount Column= Sum of all Paycodes)

I have a table (Table 1 let's say) which contains a list of numbers that all have unique ID numbers in another table (Table 2). Is there a way to create a column in Table 1 that will link those unique ID numbers from Table 2 to their corresponding values in Table 1?
What happened was I imported a list from Excel and there are frame numbers which are unique (but I still gave them an ID) and I now realize that I have another table which lists all these products, which all contain this frame number. I would like to replace the frame number with the correct ID number.
How can I create lookup values where I can also click other and type my own in the same box, would this be VBA in the form rather than stuff in the table?
