Help Desperately Needed
May 2, 2007
After working on a clients website, he decided to challenge me... He has an access database that needs editing, but I've never used MS Access before.
Half the fields on his Customer Order form are redundant, and needed removing, which I have done. I am getting no error messages, so I assume that everything has gone according to plan.
HOWEVER... He also wants me to add an area at the bottom of the same form, that will show a list of all his agents within a 20 mile radius of a given postcode (ie, the customers).
Anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how?

:confused:
I have a table, that records various information about cartons by date and lane and carton type and product type for those cartons. In the lane fields, there is 11 of them, it records the number of cartons with specific issues (tears, globs and fallbacks). I am trying to run a query that will count the number of cartons that have those issues on any given day, in each lane. I have used the DCount function, however, it still counts the cartons that have 0's in those fields. For example, one particular date, there were 18 entries, so no matter what I do for the DCount function, it still comes back with 8 instead of 1 issue in lane 1. I have been fighting with this for weeks! Please help!!!

Hi,
I have a database that has a combined user last name, user first name and user middle initial all in one field called name.
Example:

SMITH JOHN R.
I would like to get a code that will look at the field and separate them in three different fields, such as :
LNAME
DOE
SMITH
FNAME
JOHN
JOHN
MI
I.
R.
I would really appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Monti

I have this form which shows the contents of a table... however, this table is linked to another table. How do I show the results of this linked table in the form?
Table_person
- Table_personID
- PersonFirstName
- PersonLastName
- EmployerID (linked to table below)
Table_Employer
- EmployerID
- FirmName
- ....
Now - the form should look like this:
First name: John
Last name: Doe
Firm: John Industries (selected in a dropdown box)
Table_Employer would contain
1 John Industries ...
2 Hank Industries ...
You catch my drift right?
How do I link these two tables in a form? How do I get the correct Firm to be selected in a dropdown box?
Any help is appreciated!!

I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.

Hi, looking for help big time!! I am a novice at using MS Access and struggling like hell. I have been set a project at University that requires me to import data from Excel, sort the data (i.e the data imported will be for a whole year and I am only interested in looking at single months), use calculations on the data imported and display this graphically. Is this possible with Access?? Any help will be gladly received as Im desperate.:(

I have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?

Hi,
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
Many thanks
Jamie

So far I haven’t got help on my DB.
I am attaching my DB.
The DB has two tables: DiaryTable & RBCaseTable
I want to resolve two issues on this DB
First issue: The DyNo field will start from No.1 on new year (DMax function). Since there will be duplicate records with the same DyNo for every year, I want to filter the records year-wise. For the current year, I should be able to do data entry, edit, search, print etc. For the previous year’s records, no data entry should be allowed and only search and print to be allowed.
Second issue: Two fields in both the tables are same i.e. DyNo and Remarks. I want this to be linked. What I want to do is that after I open ‘frmRBCaseAdd’ when I type the DyNo, the form should show the ‘Remarks’ field of DiaryTable so that I could update/edit.
I know nothing about VBA coding etc. Whatever codes I put in this DB was obtained from this forum and I simply made changes to suit my requirements. However, I failed to get help on these two issues. I shall be grateful if you could kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

I need help please.
1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).
2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).
3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)
4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).
I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.
Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.
Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.

Ok i have a database works fine just run into a little porblem..
In My VBA Coding i have made a SQL quiery the code is..
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (ID) " & _
" VALUES (" & Me.ID & ")", dbFailOnError
'---------------------- Below Is The Code That -----------------------
'-------------------------- Doesn't Work -----------------------------
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (Name) " & _
" VALUES (" & Me.Name & ")", dbFailOnError
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
End Sub
ok so the insert of ID works but the insert of Name does not..
Am i doing something wrong?? can somebody help please i need it urgent..
P.S.
i have been using MySQL for about a Year working on PHP and it seems much different from this SQL here on access.. and my suggestion would look something like this
"INSERT INTO availability ('ID','Name'), VALUES ('Me.ID','Me.Name')
Something along Those Lines..

I have searched the archives for hours but no luck.
I came across a sample db a while back that had a text field and two buttons on a form.
One button let you browse for the file name and it stored the result in the text box. The other button opened the result stored in the text box.
Has anyone a copy of this sample db or something similar.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a quick question that i need to get some help with.
In a form, there is two comboboxes and a textbox. The textbox is disabled and locked because nobody is allowed to enter data to it. It contains the value which is from the result of choosing the two comboboxes.
example;
in table "Project"
Name Subject Score
michael IPA32 80
.
.
CB=combo box
from the dropdown, CB1 = "michael", CB2 = "IPA32". Then 80 will appear in textbox. However, there is some cases where the score doesn't exist or null (not found in the table). Is there a way to check on the spot if the textbox is empty or not as soon as CB1 and CB2 have been selected. At the moment, i use the form_beforeupdate to check the textbox. If it is, cancel is true. the whole form disappears which i don't want it to happen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
