Help Setting Up A Database
May 11, 2007
17412 Hi, I am trying to set up a database for organizing Track and Field meets. I'm a newbie to a lot of the Access capabilities. I've attached a PDF of what I'm looking at doing for my Access tables. Some of the tables I think I have right. I don't know how to organize the meets, events, days. Should I have a table for each event? Can you look at my tables and give me advice on problems you can see? In the end I would like to enter the event results by race. Some races could have 10 or more heats. There are also field events that have different number of attempts depending on the meet. There are different track meets with different events each time and the order in which the events occur changes from meet to meet. Any help or advice you can give me would be great. Thanks!

Hi, I'm working on this huge project and would like to see if anyone has any advice on how to structure and
build my database. This is for the Accounting of Payroll for Staff, Contractors, and Per Diems (untaxed travel and
housing exp) for a theater company about to do a major production.
The problem is there are several categories of Staff (Directors, Producers, Actors, Orchestra, Sound / Light, Costume, etc.) and each one gets paid differently. Some may get a weekly salary, a per diem, or paid contract in installments throughout the performance (e.g. 500 on openining night, 500 on closing night). Some get paid a combination of the above. The hard part is some get processed through an online payroll, while others are paid through manual check (yet in this case, certain deductions must be made). That's what made this so complicated as some will require a % of gross paid to their agent, a % to union, and balance to them.
I thought I had this figured out w/ a massive spreadsheet showing who gets what and in what period, To further complicated it, payroll is bi-weekly, so then my data within a spreadsheet became just too much to even make sense of although the data is correct.
So my question is, what tables should I create? Pay Periods / Actors / Agents / Pay Type / Contractors / or all of these in one table? I don't expect anyone to reply to this as it is asking so much and not clearly defined. But if anyone has had a similar experience I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks

I have a table with the following fields
flddate
fldclassname
fldemployeename
fldstatus
I have data entered all current employee training and dates that training was done.
I am looking for an explanation on how I can set it up so i can see who of the employees have not recieved the training.
I am also looking for code for the query to calculate recurrent training dates (when the next training is due for each employee) Dates of initial training for each employee may be different, as well the training may be required every one year or every two years etc.
I am hoping that I am explaining this more clearly in hopes to get some input back from the experts on this site.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I would like to create a small HR database that holds:
* Employee details (Name, Date of birth, Entry Date, Exit Date, Function,Department, Shift)
* Departments
* Departments and capabilities needed
* Employee, departments and capability achieved (1=yes, 0=no)
The idea would be to have a link between the employee the departments capabilities I can tick fields of the capabilities they have or have achieved.
When I have this I could run a report that shows a score per employee
For example:
Name: Department: Orderpicking: Packing: Cutting:
John Warehouse 1 1 0
As the tasks / capabilities required are different per department you would see something different if you would have user Jane that works in accounting
Is there anyone that can give me some hints so that I can get any further??
For the moment I have 3 tables:
1. Employee information - John, Jane
2. Departments - Warehouse, Accounting
3. Department tasks - Department, Cap1, Cap2, Cap3, Cap4

I need to create an inventory database that will track customer owned inventory as it is received stored serviced and sent back to my customer. I am in the oil and gas industry and store large amounts of customer owned pipe. many joints will have the same part number but each joint is one of a kind in that it has a joint,heat, lot, and batch number. here is an example,
Job Name: Shell ex
Part Number: 129001
Quantity: 1000
Here is an example of joint info I need to record
Joint Number:193
Heat Number: f21283
Lot: 202
Batch:12j22
Reference: byy2112
Tally:33.2
Each one of the thousand joints will have a combination of this information making it one of a kind.
My system needs to allow my users to receive jobs, record where we store the pipe in a rack location, pull the specific joints out of inventory as the customer calls for them. We will receive 1000 at a time but the customer calls for portions of that job over long periods of time..

I have appx 500 customers that have contracts..... The contracts have 15 products that are available. Not all of the customers purchased all of items on the contract. I want to have a database that lists (on one page) the client information, contract information and the product details for that customer. I have no clue how to go about doing this. The Contact database template is what I am starting with. I want to click on a customer and pull up the information all on one page.

I've created a database and I now need to set up user accounts for access to it, so that I can restrict who has read only and who has write only permissions.
I've done this before and never had a problem! But this time, whenever I try and create a new account, the following message is displayed:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
Can anyone help as to why I get this message and what I can do to stop it! Whilst it does this, I can't create any user accounts.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance

Good afternoon,
I have finished completing the initial version of a database and am now ready to begin the testing phase. When looking at the database properties (Specifically - "Statistics") there is a "Revision Number", which is always blank. I expect some changes and would like to set the Version Number each time I make a revision. How do I set the "Revision Number" found under the Statistics tab from Database Properties which was pulled from the "File" button on the toolbar?
Thank you,
Scot

I am using Access 2010.
I want to set up a Library File containing code that I can call from numerous access databases.
I try to make reference to the newly created Library.accdb file in Tools - References and get the error message: Name conflicts with existing module, project or object library.
I have checked the names of all of these and there does not appear to be a conflict.

I run a soccer league where we track players attendance for each game. I currently do it on a spreadsheet where each game date is a column and each player is a row. We also track which team they play on at each game (they can play on different teams different weeks). I currently have a second tab in the spreadsheet to record which team a person plays on each week.
Setting up a table of fields for this is relatively easy. The problem comes to data entry. I want to be able to visually see the data like I can in a spreadsheet (names in rows, dates in columns, intersections containing either team name or whether attended) and whilst a cross-tab query gives me the layout, I cannot input data in a cross-tab query.

I have been tasked with setting up a certificate request database. I have an Access 2032 FE & SQL 2012 BE. I need to store PDF documents from all our branches.
I have been working on this for the past 3 working days and I have seen a great deal about saving the file path to the database vs saving the actual document in the DB. The documents would be located on each users computer.
I have a Form with all the information that is required by the certification department. On the form is a button (Called InsertID(ID in this case is the persons Identity Docuement)) and the button is linked to a table called dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments. The table is referenced to the Main Certificate Request table.
The dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments table is structured as follows:
Code:
[CertSupportingDocID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CertificateRequestNumber] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL,
[RequestBlob] [varbinary](max) NULL,
[RequestFileName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[RequestFileExtension] [nchar](10) NULL,
[RequestFileMimeType] [nvarchar](50) NULL
When I click the button I get a Run Time error 3075 "Syntax error (Missing operator) in query operator.
The code I am using is:
Code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim strFileWPath As String
Dim FileNoExt As String
Dim FileExt As String
Dim StrSQL As String
Dim db As Database
[Code] ....
I have been looking at this code for so long that I cannot see what is wrong.

Hi Guys,
ok I work a lot on databases but have recently been asked to set up an access database for my team. We are a marketing team within a large insurance company and need a small access database for MI and project management.
I have made a start on this and going well so far but there are some things I need it to do that I dont know how :P
Ive never messed about with Acess before so bare with me :P ok so this is what im looking for, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have set up various tables for look up wizards for some of the menus on another table I designed for the raw data entry.
I need two tables, two forms - one table for very basic generic data such as
- Job Number
- Description
- Business Unit
- Owner
- Due Date
- Completion date
I then need to drill down into this to add more information, so its basically two tables on top of each other with co-dependencies.
So for example one of my team enter a new project at the very basic lvl, they have a job number, they know what business unit it is for and they know the date its due, as time goes by and work is done on the project I want them to be able to click on a button that takes them to another form where they can enter information that is linked to the original information.
So they search for job number 00000 and come up with the above data on the first form, I want them to then click on 'Project Information' button and be taken to another form that has a lot more stuff on there, like a description, complications, notes, links to documents etc etc. I tried to do this linking two tables together but it doesnt work as the two forms/tables are not co dependend and are irrespective of each other.
Does this make any sense ? and does anyone know how I might make this work ? Please let me know if I am not clear and I will try to explain as best I can
I would also like to change the form 'theme' aswell and have my companies logo transparent behind the data fields etc, anyone know how to do that as I only have the option to use the standard themes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is it possible to set which VBA reference boxes are ticked each time a database is loaded?
A problem is created when a person amending the database to the person using it has different setups and so some of the references show as "missing" and so compile errors show on loading.
We are using Microsoft Access 97.
Any help most appreciated.

I made on option box on a form called Status. The 2 radio buttons are marked Open = 1 and Closed = 2. Is it possible to open a query based on what the user selects. In the query I want open to stand for Is Null and closed would be Is Not Null. I know this sounds unusual but it works in the query they way I want it to. Is this possible? Thanks...

I tried various searched and came up empty handed.
I have a user that is using a database that is on a network. When she enters records using her computer and exists the database, they don't save. If she goes back in, they aren't there. However, if she uses another computer, they save.
I can assume that it's not user error because it's the same user on two different computers.
Any ideas?

I am confusing myself more and more as i read on normalization and queries and everything else. I am trying to create a database for parts that our company sells and am having trouble deciding how to lay out the tables. I figure I should use the part number for the primary key as it will not repeat. from there though, i have a problem, each type of part has different fields nessesscary to decribe its attributes. for example, one part number may be for a box and its describing fields might be brand, width, length,load rating, and height. but another part number might be for a circuit breaker which would have completley different describing fields like brand, amperage rating, voltage rating, connection type, and trip type. Should i create 1 table for everything even though many fields would be blank depending on which type of item it was or should i create seperate table for each type of item with only the required fields to decribe that item?

Hi,
i have a subform within a form. when the form is loaded, i would like the subform to automatically be ready for a new record instead of shown the last record entered. i have tried various macros ( not VB ) but to no avail. the form shows the persons info and needs you to add a certain piece of info. this would be the only reason for the form.
can it be done?

Dear all,
i have having such trouble setting up some tables in a new db, and am wondering if someone could give me some tips as I really don't know what I'm doing (I am new to this).
I have one main table, called Client Information. The PK is CaseNumber. I also have 11 other tables. The PK in each of these is called things like CasedetailsID, witnessinfoID, etc. Each of these tables contains the CaseNumber field (supposed to be from the Client Information table). The Client Information table contains the PK from each of the other tables.
The way I have the relationships set up at the moment is that the Client Information Table is linked to each of the other tables via the fields called casedetailsID, witnessinfoID, casetypeID, etc. The relationships are all one to many (the 'many' side being on the Client Info table, the 'one' side being on the related tables). There is obviously something incorrect about the way I have the tables set up, however, as when I try to enter data into the form, although the data gets stored in the individual tables, none of my queries or reports seem to be working (ie, I try to run a report, but it doesn't show any data).
any tips or advice regarding a good way to go about setting up tables and relationships would be very much appreciated.

Hi
I feel really stupid for asking this, but I am so stressed at the moment, I can't concentrate!
I have a database that stores land locations and information relating to it. In the database, I need a form that asks 13 questions and answers are given in drop down boxes (about 3 answers to each question). Each of these answers relate to a score, which I want to be able to show automatically.
What I would like to know is how to set the table for it. This table has to use the ID from the land locations table (which is sorted by the way).
Please see the attachment for a simple design of what my 'boss' wants it to look like. The form for this table will be a subform on the main form for land locations.
Please can someone help me? I would really apreciate it :)
