Hey I have a form/table that has the field name 'Type'..I want so that when a user types in 'Staff', he is able to type in a phone number, but when he typs in 'ISP' he is able to type in the name of the ISP. I have no idea how to go about this so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This seems like a mediocre problem but I can't think of any way of making it work. I have a table with a bunch of fields in it and one of the fields is called 'user'. Now all the other values in the fields remain pretty much the same except the User name. I want so when I try entering a new record using a form, all the fields are already filled except the 'User' field, thus allowing me to just keep filling the table up with different user names while not having to fill up the other fields.
Any help would be awesome.
Thank you
Hi,
I'm facing this problem whenever I try to click on any button on my access system. I get the following error message:
"" The expression on Click you entered as the event
property setting producedthe following error:
A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was
communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
* The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user
defined function, or [Event Procedure].
* There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro. ""
Note that the system works fine on another machine, but not on my computer!
any help will be very much appreciated!
Hey guys,
So my boss needs me to do something with the form. I'll give you an example: Say the form/table has two fields Computer Name and User. Now one computer name can have multiple users and it can be any number of users (no set amount) she wants to be able to add one user at a time and not in the same field. She also does not want to have two different records with the same computer name but different users. The way I thought of doing this was to make a button in the form so when she needs to add more users to the form she can just click the button and another field would appear saying "user 2", "user 3"..etc. Is that possible or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks in advance for the help guys

If there is someone out there that could help make the lane score sheet easier. or give an example you could send an attachment to joeschidek@hotmail.com
Overview:
You are going to create a program that tracks the scores for a season in a bowling league. This program needs to be very easy to use. In fact, Access, SQL Server, or VB on top of Access is one good way to attack this program. Using a web interface to a CGI database is also acceptable. VB accessing text files will work as well. VC on top of Access/SQL Server is OK as well (wicked hard). VC has wizards that connect to databases just like VB. Check the Win 32 App Wizards.
The league meets every other week. The players bowl anywhere from 1 to 3 games (typically 3). Each week, the teams play each other and give handicaps based on total team average. The teams will win if their team total is higher than the other team’s total, including a handicap. With three games the league tracks wins/losses per game plus overall pins. This gives 4 games per week. The overall pins goes to the team with the most pins over the 3 games. As a note: the team names are the names of their captains.
The league bowls on lanes 17 through 20. This means that there are 4 teams with 5 players each.
Program flow
v The program should perform like the following:
Ø User inputs the week’s data
Ø Program validates the week’s data
Ø User then tells program to update the season data
Program output requirements
v Player data sheet
Ø Player average (sort by this)
§ Total pins divided by number of games
Ø Player high game
Ø Player low game
Ø Player high series
§ Highest total pins for a week
Ø Player total pins (subsort by this)
Ø Player number of games (subsort by this)
v Team Standing
Ø Sort by Wins, then losses
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
v Lane score sheet
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.>>
Ø Two teams per player
Ø An entry for each player
Ø Three lines for scores for each player
Ø What alley the team is on
§ All teams must play on all lanes the same number of times in a season
§ You must determine a fair strategy to move the teams around
Ø The handicap
§ Difference in total team average
§ Whichever team has the lower average total will get the handicap
Ø Need a simple way to print different sheets for each week, based on the schedule
§ The code to automatically change the schedule based on the week is probably too much
§ A manual changing of team and lane assignments is OK
Program input requirements
v Weekly data
Ø User should be able to input player scores who bowled
Ø Program should allow you to skip players that did not bowl this week
Ø Program should account for players that bowl less than 3 games
§ Example: a player with 12 games bowled going into this week, can only bowl one game
§ Once the stats are entered, the program will reflect 13 games, and calculate the average based on 13 games, not 15
Ø Program should allow inputting of which team won or lost
§ Be advised that this code can get tricky
§ I will accept, without penalty, manual entering of wins and losses
§ There can be a maximum of 4 wins per team per week
v Interface
Ø The user should be presented with command buttons, in order, to do their task
Ø They should not have to type in 50 commands nor have to open certain queries in certain order
Ø Ie: you are coding for a non Access geek, you may assume an intelligent person, not Brenda
Program calculations
v Player average
v Hi game
v Low game
v Total pins per week
v Total pins overall
v Which team wins or loses
Ø You may force the user to enter this manually
Ø The amount of code to calculate wins/losses automatically is more than the amount of time to have the user calculate it manually.
v Wins/Loss percentage
Ø Number of wins divided by games played
v Total team
v Team Handicap
v More calculations may be necessary
Brenda Checks
All scores are between 0 and 300
Wins cannot be larger than 4
Two teams cannot be on the same lane
i've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.
bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.
i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.
bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.
setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.
problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.
???????
The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.

this DB should transfer records from table to another table and vice versa, somehow i cannot make the other command button works. it took me a week to figure it out what is wrong with the code.
pls help me with my DB.
Somebody out there!
ill attached the DB if someone replies my request.
thanks
Hi all i'm really confused. I have tried to use the user-level security wizard to set my database security which works fine from my computer. However, when someone else logs into the database through my shared area where it is kept, they do not encounter any of my security settings that I set up for them. From this it looks to me that the security settings only apply when someone opens the database directly from my computer and not when they open it over the network from my shared area.
Could someone please explain to me why this is happening and offer a solution to it please. Your help will be greatly appriciated.
:confused: i am trying to develop a system which requires a date order to be used .. i want to use a filter query to filter out certain information from my tables into a form .. i know how to accomplish this but i am having a small problem getting there
i wish to set sunday to an order of one (1) and monday to two (2) and so on so that when i create my query i will be able to select the thursday for example ( by setting the criteria to a "5" )
i have a table consisting of the dates but i am unsure how to create a field that displays the order .. automatically calculating whether the date is a sunday or a monday and assigning the correct number as stated above, i have tried something (not sure what) which assigned a 1 to monday through 7 to sunday but this is not the order i wish to use and it failed to work with my query anyway
would this create this using my computers clock or something and if so what do i need to do to get this small part of my system up and running therefore enabling me to create my filter query
please help
thankyou :)

Im trying to query a date which identifiy date in the database and carculate it to the date that are only above 30 days.
im using the below query
SELECT * FROM Truck_Company where Updated = DateDiff("d",date(),rs("Updated")> 30)
but its seem the query doesnt work need some help..
I have two tables tbl1 and tbl2
tbl1 has 10 fields named tbl1.id tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3 tbl1.field4
tbl2 has only three fields tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
Now i need to insert values into tbl1::
tbl1.field1 tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3
from
tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
respectively, but i need to make sure if tbl2.field3 value is already there in tbl1.field3 then we don't need import those records. so we only need records if value of tbl2.field3 is not already there in tbl1.field3.
Please let me know What statement do I need to write so i can import all data from tbl2 into tbl1 by comparing as above.

I am new to this database stuff and my work want me to produce a database which will not only keep stock on printers, scanners, monitors and base units we have in stock but want an allocation system as well.
Basically, a member of staff from a department will make a request for some items. These could be a monitor, 2 base units and a scanner for their location. I need a system which tells the user that the items or qty they want is in stock or not. I know I need to use an unbound box for this but dont know how.
Then I need a form which a IT techie can allocate a job too themseleves and take the item to them once this has been done they sign off the job.
I have a rough idea on what I want in each table but I am really losing time and i need some help or if anyone can do a quick one for me with forms etc I will be ever so grateful!
The tables look as follows:
Dept - DeptID, Name of Dept
Staff - StaffID, Name, Postion at college
Request - RequestID, Date, StaffID
Stock - StockID, Item (monitor), make (CTX), Model (17" TFT), QTY, Status (dead, working, faulty)
Request deatils - ? - Basically this is where the staff member will make their request for what they want.
Allocation - This part needs to be given to a member of staff and they needs allocating out
Techie - TechieID, Name, Postion
Location - LocationID, Location (where the item is going to)
If anyone can help me please post otherwise please please send me an email to mini_beest@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you and hope you can help
I am doing a cert. III in business admin that finishes on MOnday 9 May 2005. I have 3 days to do a mammoth business trip assignment, AND pass a test on Access. The school is a little dodgy and didn't make me do that practical assignment - they gave me multiple choice q's and written q's to take home.
PLEASE HELP!!! I need to pass this course - and we never use Access at work.
Q1. What is wrong with this formula?
=Iff([Product]=Home,1,0)
I'm sure there's more wrong with it than the 'Iff' - that's meant to be 'IIf' isn't it? I've only ever used formulas in Excel..
Q2. What result will the 'Is Null' expression return?
Q3. What is the difference between a Combo Box and a List Box?
Q4. Why is the purpose of the Paste Append function?
Q5. Which formula is correct?
a. =[Qty]*[Price]+[Freight]
b. =[(Qty)*(Price)+(Freight)]
c. =([Qty]*[Price])+[Freight]
d. =[(Qty)*(Price)]+(Freight)
???
Q6. A chart can be placed on:
a. Table view only
b. A form or Report view
c. A Query or Table view only
d. A Report view only
Please answer any of these questions you can - the last one I can trial by error later tonight.
Thanks in advance.
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.:(
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I am a novice and need help, i have built a simple database and i need to find out how to automatically update files across a network as soon as possible it updates on a couple of machines strait away but on others i have to close the database and then reopen it to get the updates. In addition to this i want to be able to search for a reference at the click of a button.
Any help on this would be greatly appricated as i am a novice

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..

:confused: Hi, am new here & i need some help with some access database. Its for a little project am using to learn access.
Ok am designing a website for an airline company using access as d database end & asp for coding & stuff. My problem is a table i called flight. I have to write out a flight schedule in d database but am not sure how to do it, i wrote a schedule down in words using days. let me explain that, what i did was i have about 10 countries my airline company flies to, so what i did was grp 5 countries to fly mondays,weds,fridays & sundays & d other 5 fly tuesdays,thursdays & saturday. I don't know how to put that in the table since in d frontend customers are supposed to be able to search by date. On the frontend is a drop down menu where they pick a date like 29th november 2004 & then it shows d flight details but my problem is i wrote it in days. what should i do?? :confused:
