Help Implementing A Neat Idea
Jan 13, 2006
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Access Gurus,
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.
Thanks in advance.

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?

Hey everyone,
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.
Thanks,
Chris

Yesterday I redesigned some of the forms in our database and all was working fine. It works fine on every pc in the office except 1.
On his pc he gets the following error when opening the database:
"An error occurred while loading form_ContractChargessub. Do you wish to continue?"
If you choose yes the database will open but it doesn't work. I have no idea how to even begin to solve this problem.
I did notice that he was running Access 2003 and everyone else is on 2002. Could this be the problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.

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.
Thanks ahead of time,
Shane

hi ,
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
Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone
SID = Me.Surename.Value
stLinkCriteria = "[Surename]=" & "'" & SID & "'"
'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
Set rsc = Nothing
End Sub

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.
Just want to know ya'll opinions.

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 .

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.
Any help?

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
Any Advice or help would be much appreciated
All the best
Andy

Hello Everyone
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?
I look forward to hearing from everyone on this.
Thank You
Jaz

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?
Just a thought....

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.
Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,
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
dteToday = LogDate
dtePrior = DateAdd("d", -6, dteToday)
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
strSQL = "SELECT [LogDate] "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM tblLog "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE [LogDate] >= #" & dtePrior & "#"
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [LogDate] <= #" & dteToday & "#"
'Create a recordset of records from date entered and 7 days prior
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
rs.MoveLast
i = rs.RecordCount 'Count the number of days between the two dates
If i = 7 Then 'If there are seven days then it is a Sunday
Sunday.Value = 1
Else
Sunday.Value = 0 'If less than 7 days then it is a regular day
End If
Else
Sunday.Value = 0
End If
DayofWeek.Value = Format(dteToday, "dddd")
End Sub
