I’m working to ever-improve a Help Desk-like database and I got this idea for “templates.” That is, a quick way to fill out the as much of the ticket form as possible when common issues come in.
So I’ve created a table (Templates)that mimics the structure of my ticket table (Incidents). I’ve gone into Templates and put the values I want automatically entered in each field and I’ve added a combo box and a button on my ticket screen. The combo box is populated, from Templates, with the name of each Template.
My problem is that I have no idea how to make each field on the Incident form populate with the values from the Template table.
Our application can be broken into several modules, and we want to be able to shut off all modules, but then activate them by entering an Activation/Authorization code for each module.
The issue is that I'm fairly new to Access, and have never done this type of functionality. Is there anyone out there that has done this and can give me some guidance? I would greatly appreciate it.
A client I am working for wants a calendar to interact with their database forms, I am thinking outlook would be the best bet, as a table and form to make my own in access would be overly complicated. Is there any way to embed a calendar from outlook within an access form?
In my database I've encountered a hitch - I've got one form set up to view one person at a time and I've got many records in this database - Is it possible to create a textbox and a button called search that will take me to the record containing this text?
i.e currently im on record abc i type into the text dfe and press search - it will take me to a record that contains that text?
Is there a way i can use substitution variables in access 2007, i wrote a query that returns rows which have a word okeu in them but i want to use substitution variables so that i can retrieve any word i want and if the word i want is not there i want to pop a message saying `word not there` its easier to do it in oracle sqlplus but how can i apply it in access using sql queries?
This is my sql I made in access
Code: SELECT MENU.NAME_REC, MENU.C_REC, AUTO.C_GROUP FROM MENU, AUTO WHERE (((MENU.NAME_REC)="okeu"));
Is it possible to run a query when a check box is pressed? If it is possible how would i then go about comparing the result. I would like it so that a count query is run when the check box is pressed and then if the result is 20 or greater then a command button is disabled. Any help?
I have a crazy idea that I think would be very cool if I got it working, but have no idea where to start. I have a database that is broken down into a front end and a back end, and there are about 10 users who use it off and on throughout the day. This database has an entry form to enter new records. I am wanting to put a text box or a label on that main form that would turn green if the database was in use by another user, besides the one that was currently looking at the form. It would be red if there are no other users accessing the database. Is this even possible? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
Hi . I need to have a single form , or nested subforms for data entry. The proble is the main form requires information from 2 other forms, and these forms in turn require information from other primary key fields. I know its basic form design, but i just cant seem to get my head around it. Any ideas?
tblVehicles VehicleID Autonumber PK MakeID FK to tblMakes ModelYear Number 'any other fields that describe ONLY the vehicle
tblMakes MakeID Autonumber PK MakeName Text
tblTires TireID Autonumber PK MakeID FK to tblMake TypeID FK to tblTypes DatePurchased
tblTypes TypeID Autonumber PK TypeName Text
tblTireLocation TireLocID Autonumber PK TireLocAbbr Text TireLocation Text (Front Passenger Side, Front Driver Side, etc.)
tblVehicleTires VehicleTireID Autonumber PK VehicleID FK to tblVehicles TireID FK to tblTires TireLocationID FK to tblTireLocations DateAdded Date/Time (Short Date) DateRemoved Date/Removed (Short Date)

Looking for some advise and help. I think an array will be recommended and if so, please help with code on how to do this.
I am trying to track prescription (Rx) dates (RxOutDate) going out to medical professionals on a particular order. There can be mulitple Rx going out so there will be multiple dates of when those Rx went out. What I would like to do is have the earlies date posted. ie one Rx went out on 10/13/04 and another goes out on 10/14/04. I would like for the 10/13/04 date to show. I'm using a continuous form to display all Rx's per order, on frmRx. I'm trying to display the date out on the form containing the order (frmOrder).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If an array is suggested. Please help with code on how to it. I've never written one so I would definitely be in the dark.
see below for the current code to find a duplicate surname (this works Fine)
now that ive properly thought it through what i need to do is insert a surename and if (by Chance) when i insert the Date of Birth if this is the same highlight it as a duplicate record. However if these people are twins then i need the option to insert the duplicate record.
any ideas on how to go about this, see code below.
Private Sub Text24_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SID As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
'Check StudentDetails table for duplicate StudentNumber If DCount("Surename", "tblData", stLinkCriteria) > 0 Then 'Undo duplicate entry Me.Undo 'Message box warning of duplication MsgBox "Duplicate Name " _ & SID & " has already been entered." _ & vbCr & vbCr & "You will now been taken to the record.", vbInformation _ , "Duplicate Information" 'Go to record of original Student Number rsc.FindFirst stLinkCriteria Me.Bookmark = rsc.Bookmark End If
My primary key for my database a WorkOrder Number. The issue is that sometimes problems span a selection of WorkOrders. For example, if we get a lot of bad parts, 3 different WorkOrders might be affected, and each may have different resolution to the effect. To speed up data entry, I've had a request to make a button that copies the all the information from a current record into a new one.
If much of this information repeats, it this a poor way to handle this data? Currently it is pretty straight forward with ostly one->many relationships, and this would make things pretty complicated with a bunch of many<->many relationships.
I need help with table structure, They keep way too much info. Now that I have said that here is what I need help with. I have been asked to make a small "Ha ha" Database this is what small became. Most of the data for this is in a spreadsheet now I know I can import it where I want it. The main concerbn is that the main piece of information would be the Job Address. Because of all this other information I was not really sure how to setup the tables here is what I have started .
Buyers Information (tbl) Fname Lname Address City State Zip (with a look to qry)"cool zipcode code" Phones (3) Email Ect.
Buyers Realtor Info (tbl) Fname Lname Company Name Address City State Zip (with a look to qry)"cool zipcode code" Phones (3) Email Ect.
Sellers Information (tbl) Fname Lname Address City State Zip (with a look to qry)"cool zipcode code" Phones (3) Email Ect.
Buyers Realtor Info (tbl) Fname Lname Company Name Address City State Zip (with a look to qry)"cool zipcode code" Phones (3) Email Ect.
Job Information (tbl) Address City (Filled in by Zip) State (Filled in by Zip) County (Filled in by Zip) Zip (with a look to qry)"cool zipcode code" RoofType (With a lookup to A list tbl) RoofCondition (With a lookup to A list tbl) Job Notes (memo)
Appointment Information Time (now real sure how these time and date will work) Date ( " ) Appointment Type (With a lookup to A list tbl) Contact Name Salesman (With a lookup to Salesmen Table) Appointment Results (memo) Referral
As I mentioned this data is in a spreadsheet and most every row has all of the above information ("ha ha, small") but I wanted to get some other Ideas and see if anybody had a better one before I tryed to make it all work.
I may be oversimplifying my idea here, but I'm trying to have Form A, which has a source of Table A have fields automatically filled out with values from Table B when I select a template name and click a button that's on Form A. I simply have no idea how to make something this simple happen. Any ideas?
I've got 20 checkboxes which i need to do the same thing but individually.
If IsNull(DLookup("[question 1]", "qryQuestions")) Then chkQuestion1.Visible = False Else chkQuestion1.Visible = True End If
I tried this:
Dim loopy As Integer Dim tmpquest As String
For loopy = 1 To 20 tmpquest = "question " & loopy tmpCheck = "chkQuestion" & loopy If IsNull(DLookup(tmpquest, "qryQuestions")) Then tmpCheck.Visible = False Else tmpCheck.Visible = True End If Next loopy
tmpquest works. tmpcheck doesn't.
I tried dimming tmpcheck as lots of things but no luck.
I am thinking of adding a Request form to my database so that if the user wants to add a code to the system, they could fill out the form click send and i would then be able to retrieve all the requests via a report.
I have designed the form to something like what i am after...
i have a few issue's here:
A)
i have set up an option wizard so that user can select if this is a new code or a failure mode request
if the user selects "New Event Code" i want the the text box and label for Eventcode Description to become visible and all others to become inactive.
i will explain what happens if the user chooses "Failure Modes" in a minute.
B) I have no idea what is the best method to sort the following section, if you look at my form at the bottom (Highlighted in red) i need this to be a continuous option as the user may wish to add more than one Failure mode to an Event Code.
C) going back to my options if the user select "Failure Modes" i need the bottom section to become active.
D) If that was not bad enough i have no idea on how to store this in a table.
Definitions:
Event Code ---> Top Line Code
Failure Mode --> Is the Event code description but broken down further
I am looking to build and Overtime tracking form and have been pondering on the design of it. Here is my idea and not sure how I should go about doing it (straight forms and tables or queries). I would like to select my employees in a combobox and have their information autofill the remaining fields and/or add new ones. Additionally have fields that I can input any overtime occurred which would be stored in a seperate table but displayed in a sub-form in datasheet view. These fields that were just filled out with the overtime information would clear everytime the add record button is hit.
I know that sounds like alot and sure I can muddle my way through that part of it, the big question I have is do I need a seperate table for every employees overtime? Or is there code/query that can select the records of the selected employee and display the information that pertains just to them?
Has anyone come across or posess a sample database similar to this? If not can someone point me in the right direction for example code and tutorials?
Bax, I am still dealing with that problem of getting my statistics form to show. Is it possible for me to set it up so that when a new player is added into the player information table that the statistic table will populate itself with the [Uniform #], [FirstName] & [LastName] and default 0's to all statistical fields?
Hi! I have a client who wants a training tracking software built that will allow for simultaneous use by up to 850 users. Is Access a good idea, or should I use SQL, and if yes to SQL, can you point me to some great documentation supporting this? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I would like to add a textbox to my main form so that users can enter in some extra data regarding the job they are working on. This text box should tie to the current record of the main database, tableJobLog.
Is it best to keep this textbox as a field in the main database, tableJobLog? Or should I create a separate table (perhaps tableJobNotes) with just this text field and link the two tables?
I would think that having it in the main table would make the table grow considerably in size after some time.
If creating a separate table is better, I would need some guidance on how to do this.
I have problem with my code here. I am using this code to determine if the LogDate with a weekday of Sunday can be declare as Sunday Work or Regular Work. The 1st week of my entry can determine if the LogDate is Sunday then compute if it reaches a 7 days working, if he is absent even 1 (one) day in his previous working days within the week. His Sunday LogDate is considered as Regular Days instead of Sunday Work. Can anyone tell me what is wrong in this code?
The problem here is the computation of 7 days after 1 week. There should be a 7 days computation every week per month in able to declare Sunday Work or Regular Work. I tried this code but it did not work on 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week of the month.
How come on 2nd week, Sunday (LogDate) is not considered as Sunday Work even he completed the 7 days (working days) per week? I need help on this ASAP Thanks
Tim
Below is the code i'm using for defining Regular days and Sunday Working Days:
Private Sub LogDate_AfterUpdate() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, rs As DAO.Recordset Dim db As DAO.Database Dim dteToday As Date, dtePrior As Date Dim i As Integer
Set db = CurrentDb Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT [HolidayDate] FROM tblHolidays", dbOpenSnapshot)
rst.FindFirst "[HolidayDate] = #" & dteToday & "#" 'See if the date entered is a holiday If rst.NoMatch Then Holiday.Value = 0 Else Holiday.Value = 1 End If If Weekday(dteToday) = vbSunday Then 'If dated entered is a Sunday determine if Dim strSQL As String 'it will be a regular day or a Sunday
