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.:(
View RepliesI 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.
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?
Sorry, i dont know where should i post this( under which category)
so i just post it here,
I want to create a login page using access,
and then i wanted to record down the name of the user and the time and date(login and log out) when he/she is using the database.
And then record it down in a table.
Any ideas fellow forumers :)
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

Lets start by saying I am not a programmer but by modifying examples found in books I have over the past few years built an order processing data base for our business. An expert would think what a mess but it works for ME. The problem being I would like my staff to be able to use it.There is one problem which I can get around but they would not be able to.
The database has two tables (well more than that but its two I am talking about here) One which holds details of 3000 + Roads. The other has House or Firms names and directions. On the order form I have two Combo boxes one to enter the Location (House Name) another for the Road Name. When you enter a House name the Not In List event looks to see if we have delivered to
that location before, if so displays the full address. name,number,road,town in the combo box fed from a query which uses an EXPr to re join the data fields to display as one. If the location has not been used before a yes/no box comes up. If yes a new form opens to enter the details and choose the road/town from the road list.Then you are returned to the order form.
The problem is let say you start to enter "Orchard Cottage" up comes Orchard Cottage,London Rd,Larkfield. Want you want to enter is another Orchard Cottage in say Ditton.
Because you already have one in the list the combo box will not ask if you want to enter a new one. I can get around it by putting an extra letter in the name, then once the order had been finished go to the location table and take the letter out. No good for the Staff as you can see. Shame the rest works fine.
Anyone have an answer ?
Kevin.
I am creating a database and have ran into a problem I can't seem to fix. Whenever I try to make a query, it says 'type mismatch in expression'. Please could somebody help me!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have constructed a seven table database for dealing with holiday cottages.
The seven tables are:
Bookings
Cottages
Customers
Ratings
Owners
Regions
Sales Reps
I have created the 7 tables and created the primary keys (BookingID,CottageID,CustomerID,RatingsID,OwnersID ,RegionsID,RepID)
The ratings table because cottages come under different ratings (Family, Sporting etc..).
I need to create a form which
*Adds a new booking, and also adds the new customers details
*Checks the avalibility of the cottage for the chosen week
*allows the user to choose a rating from a combo box, which then filters the cottages availible for selection in that category.
If anyone could help me with this I would be very grateful, I have emailed my lecturer but he is not replying and the assignment needs to be in on the 12th!
I built a DB for work (Access2000) which is on the network and is for inputting maintenance request. Nothing complicated about it and at any time there would probably only be 3-4 users logged on at a time, and then probably only for a few minutes each. This DB got corrupted yesterday and I had to recover from teh backup. I compact and repair manually on a weekly basis(usually). My question is would it be less likely to get corrupted if I split the DB? Would it help to set up an automated complact & repair to run overnight?
Thanks
