This is probably not too bad to most... Considering I'm still pretty new to this...
I'm designing a database to track training for about 6 offices where I work. I am having trouble trying to set up a questionaire that adds a worker's training requirements automatically when a new worker is added to the system.
TABLES
tblPersonnel
PersonnelID (Primary Key)
tblRequirements
RequirementID (Primary Key)
RequirementTypeID - Denotes the type of requirement based off of the question on the questionaire.
tblPer_Req (Join Table)
PersonnelID (Joined to tblPersonnel)
RequirementID (Joined to tblRequirements)
QUERY
In my query I have pulled the PersonnelID from tblPersonnel, the RequirementID from tblRequirements and the RequirementTypeID from tblRequirements.
FORM (part 1) - New Member Form
Enter the new member's information...
FORM (part 2) - Requirement Questionaire (Must bring over PersonnelID from FORM (part 1)...
I have asked the following question... (total of 10 questions, but we'll just go with one for now...)
"Does the member wear prescription eyeware?" (Yes/No - using an Option Group)
(RequirementTypeID = 2)
If the member answers yes, I want the database to automatically add the member's PersonnelID and all Requirements from tblRequirements that have a RequirementTypeID of 2 to tblPer_Req (Join Table).
So far, I have gotten the query to only work by itself as a SELECT query and was not able to add the information to tblPer_Req, let alone try to tie it together with the Option Group...
If anyone could please help me get this together I would greatly appreciate it... I've been trying to work this one through for almost two weeks, the boss has tried to help too but he's also stumpped!!!
Here's a tricky little problem I am trying to figure out. I'm sure someone out there should be able to help me without breaking anything. Heres the problem.... I have a form that has an underlying table attached. I have a combo box pull in a pull down list of locations from that table. What I would like to happen is, I would like it so the user will select a location from that combo box, and then click a command button. When they click that button, I need whatever they chose in the comobo box to copy over to a NEW table, which will be referenced later by my program. Say the table being pulled from is called "table1", and the table I need the info to go to is "newtable". I guess it doesn't SOUND hard, but I can't seem to figure anything out on it. I'll let you experts tear it apart and tell me how dumb I am for not knowing. Be kind... I'm still a noob. :D
I have been thinking about this since two day and tried everything, but no luck.
I have a form with recordsource a query. A listbox contains all references and if you choose a reference, everything else on the same form gets updated. Now i want to avoid that two users edit the same record at the same time. So i thought i would make an extra field in my table with a checkbox "yes/no" wich says if the record is in use or not. Now whenever a user edits a complaint i want that when another user is trying to edit the same record a message pops up saying that the record is in use. I can get it to work, but only have the problem that when a user decides to change reference number in the listbox and call upon another record, the value needs to get to fals again on the record he was editing.
Maybe there is another way to now if a user is working on a record.
Anyone that can help with an easy solution on this?
I am building an app which will be used to administer a small company which has several mobile service engineers.
Everything is fine. A fairly standard sort of job until the client asked for a screen showing each engineer for a given day with a bar graph showing planned start and finish times for each allocated job, together with the location! As an added challenge, I need the user to be able to click on the "Chart" and so open another screen showing full details of the job clicked on.
My first approach was to use a chart. Couldn't do it:confused:
The approach I have now used is to create a series of labels on the form "On the fly" to represent each job and the unallocated time in between jobs. I can also run a macro to display the full job details when the label is clicked upon.
HOWEVER, this is a very cumbersome way of doing things to my mind. In addition, sizing of the controls in each day's bar is far more difficult than I expected.
Anyone got any ideas as to how I might achive this task in a more polished way?
I currently receive MS excel files with forty columns and 7000 rows of data. I Perform a sense check and then convert the file to csv for loading into another system.
I've had a request to start performing this task for files of up to 13 million rows. Obviouslt MS excel will not be capable of doing this.
Can anyone tell me what MS product I should use? Access, foxpro? or do I need a non MS product and if so which one?
I am currently having the following difficulty. Let say i have 3 fields in a table.
Field 1: = ID Field 2: = operation Number Field 3: = Status What should i do if i want the following result from a query.
Field 1:= Grouped by ID Field 2:= Count of operation Number Field 3:= "status1", "Status2", "status 3"(basically concatenating the strings in each group. .:confused:
Please note that i am using Access 2003. eg of how table wold look Gr ID CountOf Operation Status 1299B 10 R 1299B 20 C 1299B 30 B 1299B 40 D 1299B 50 A 1299B 60 Z 1275A 10 P 1275A 20 Z
eg of an out put for my query should look like Gr ID CountOf Operation Status 1299B 6 R,C,B,D,A,Z 1275A 2 P,Z Please note that it is important that the order is maintained.... ie in the case of 1275A the order should be PZ and not ZP..
I have several Databases with similar tables with similar information, but entered differently. (Different persons made separate databases before my time) I would like to make new tables, write a query to combine the information into these tables, but I need to get the data similar before I can combine.
Example of information:
7L 24 3A719 AD one table might have it stored this way 7l243a719 AD another this way 7L24-3A719-AD or 7L24 3A719 AD both ways in this table and so on. There are alot of combinations
I have been in attempting Mid$, Right$, Left$, Like, Not Like and others to no avail.
Looking to make all the information the same layout 7L243A719AD, then I will be able to combine information.
The current challenge I have in MS Access in really giving me a headache. I can’t seem to find an answer or indeed think “outside the box” so I am hoping there is someone who can help.
Below I will outline the design of my database, the problem I have and my proposed solution. My solution is “What I want to do” rather than “How I do it”. If you have the time and patience to look at my problem and suggest how I proceed, I will be really grateful.
CURRENT DATABASE DESIGN
I created a database that imports daily telephone data. The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
I extract data from the phone system for “Lines” (3 digit code) e.g. ‘301’,’302’ which each have a corresponding line “Description” e.g. ‘New Customers’, ‘Accounts Queries’. There are three main daily extracts (1) Inbound Calls (2) Outbound Calls and (3) Time. Each extract has either “Line” or “Description” as the unique identifier but not both.
There are 50 lines with matching descriptions and each is allocated to one of 20 teams. I have a query which links all three extracts, groups the data by team and date. Therefore this query creates 20 records (teams) for each day (date).
CURRENT QUERY AND TABLES
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team
Tbl Inbound Calls Line Date Offered Calls Answered Calls Abandoned Calls
Tbl Outbound Calls Description Date Outgoing Calls
Tbl Time Description Date Answer Time Abandon Time Talk Time Wrap Up Time
Qry Grouped By Team Daily
Line – linked to line in Tbl Incoming Calls Description – linked to description in both Tbl Outgoing Calls and Tbl Time
Team – Grouped field Date – Grouped filed Offered Calls - Sum Answered Calls - Sum Abandoned Calls - Sum Outgoing Calls - Sum Answer Time - Sum Abandon Time - Sum Talk Time - Sum Wrap Up Time - Sum
PROBLEM
Customer Services “Team” is made up of six lines (301-306) and Business Partners “Team” is made up of three lines (307-309). For each day my query creates a record for each of these teams based on how the line is allocated in Tbl Line Lookup.
The business had decided that line 304 calls are part of the Business Partners with effect from 01/05/06. If I change the team name associated with 304 in Tbl Line Lookup this will, incorrectly, allocate all information (from 01/01/06 to present) to Business Partners.
I need a mechanism to allocate 304 to Customer Services prior to 30/04/06 and to Business Partners after 01/05/06.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I want to introduce a new field in Tbl Line Lookup called Effective Date.
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team Effective Date
Then I want to introduce a new query which links the data in the three data tables and allocates the correct team name by comparing the date in these extracts with the effective date in the Tbl Line Lookup.
I would then run my original query (Qry Grouped By Team Daily) over this query instead of the original tables.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to look up values in another table to determine the value of a field in the way I have described?
The scenario - I use MS Access to access an advantage database system from a program we use. I can either import or link to each table in the program's database via OBDC drivers.
The problem - I need to track the status changes of our customers. Tracking customer status changes are not recorded in the advantage db. The TRDATA table contains the information. From now on, I want my access db to track the changes and save it in access for report purposes. The status's available are A, B, I, K, L, O, P, W, X and Y.
The solution - So far, I have queried the TRDATA table to pull the Account #, Buyer, and status. I made a crosstab query which would kind of aggregate the data into a readable form. If the account is active, there would now be a 1 in the column A. I then made another query which would then update a table. From here, I'm unsure of what to do. Obviously, there needs to be a comparison of some sort. If only account 1234 changes from an A to a Y, then I want a new table to show all the other accounts where they stand and a change of Y for the status with the date it changed. I hope I'm explaining myself well enough!! I’m very unsure of where to go from here.
tbl_Members contains many fields, two being SName and RefferedBy.
ReferredBy is stored in the table from a lookup from a form that looks up the SName field from tbl_Members.
What i want to do is create a query from this table with an extra field which counts the number of instances based on the records SName, in a field called NoReffers.
Hi everyone, here is one of the tougher problems ive had to deal with.
i have a number of fields, called teammember2, teammember3 etc..to teammember12. This is done because on the form, the user is able to select team members in addition to their original selection using a button.
Another field on the form is a "total days worked".
The problem now is adding the total days worked for each record based on the team member
for example:
if record 1 has : john smith and jane smith as team members and record 2 has: john smith and tom smith as team members
i need the report (query) show the total days worked for john smith as record 1+ record 2. and for jane smith just record 1. tom smith would show total days for record 2.
im sorry for the weird explanation! i will be happy to clarify anything.
I am running a dcount I need to count values that are between (and including) 3000 and 3499 the field is cmbLkpSCType I also need to count values that are between (and including) 3500 and 3999 The cmbLkpSCType values are 3000 through 3499 the field is cmbLkpType
My challenge is to find a way of counting one and not include the other
If Me.cmbLkpSCType = "3000" Then strBuild = Me.cmbLkpSCCountry & (Right([cmbLkpSCYear], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCType], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCBudgetUnit], 2)) strCt = DCount("strSourceCodeID", "tblProjectSegment", "(Left([strSourceCodeID], 8) ='" & strBuild & "')") End If '***************** If Me.cmbLkpSCType = "3500" Then strBuild = Me.cmbLkpSCCountry & (Right([cmbLkpSCYear], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCType], 2)) & (Left([cmbLkpSCBudgetUnit], 2)) strCt = DCount("strSourceCodeID", "tblProjectSegment", "(Left([strSourceCodeID], 8) ='" & strBuild & "')") End If
I have a listbox in one of my forms with the following RowSource:
SELECT fsVisbetalingsprocent.navn1, fsVisbetalingsprocent.betalingsprocent1, fsVisbetalingsprocent.fradato1 FROM fsVisbetalingsprocent WHERE fsVisbetalingsprocent.sælgernr1=forms.vissælger.sæ lgernr ORDER BY fsVisbetalingsprocent.fradato1;
The output looks like this:
(navn1) (betalingsprocent1) (fradato1 is hidden) June 0,50 August 0,30 August 0,30 August 0,30
In my query 'fsVisbetalingsprocent' the 'betalingsprocent' is allways the same when the month is the same. So I want the listbox to write the month (navn1) only once...
I've been trying hard for an hour or so, and I just can't get it to work!
I created a database to assist in analyzing the contents of an Excel spreadsheet (provided by a third-party contract). The format of the data in the spreadsheet is denormalized to look something like the following:
It's important to note that the ChildIDs are NOT unique.
This was not a problem initially because I was able to import the entire worksheet into a single table and then run queries to populate the Parent and Child tables.
HOWEVER, they are now introducing "versioning" in a way that is causing a problem for me. When a new version is being created, they repeat the Parent and ALL of the Child rows, but only put the versioning information on the FIRST Child in the group. (They refuse to repeat the versioning information on all of the rows). So the data now looks like the following:
I MUST relate all of the Child rows for a particular version to the correct version of the Parent, but have not been able to come up with any idea of how to do so.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Create a temporary table to hold the results. Use VBA to open the data table and temporary table in two recordsets. Loop through the records in the data table and place the data in the temporary table in the required positions.
Hello all. Hope someone can help. I want to know which of my customers received a particular service (service id: #199) during the last month. It gets complicated (I think) because of those customers that received service 199 last month, I want to know which ones did not receive any other services in the 90 days prior to receiving it. Any thoughts on how this can be done? I can find who received the service during the last month, but how do you check to make sure they have not received any others during the last 90 days? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, S.J.
Hope any Access guru can help me with this problem.
I want to create a cross training matrix with crosstab query in Access to show the relationship between the trainers and trainees with purpose of the trainings from the following table.
I tried to use crosstab Q and picked Trainee as Row Heading, Trainer as Column Heading and Purpose as Value - with the Total option as First, but it would only show the first purpose even if trainer with the same trianee has more than 1 cross training involvement. The example is for Matthew & Edward. In this case, it only show CEI but not SAS. My challenge here is how to concatenate training purposes with the same trainer and trainee.

To supplement this flat list I'm preparing a number of key stats which will be reported to administrators (e.g. unique user/session count by period, app usage by period etc).
I'm now looking to report the (10?) most active users where most active means those users having the most unique sessions. The desired results are as follows:
User Sessions joe 23 paul 10 chris 5 jim 2 ... ...
Within Access its relatively easy to create/combine a number of queries to acheive this but I need to do this via an ASP script. The challenge is to design a single SQL statement (with nested SQL?) which will return a recordset as above.
I am trying to create a database (duh!). At the moment, I have two tables. One table is a small timetable with the fields:
Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Aircraft
The other table (Delay) has the following fields:
Date, Day, Airline, Flight Number, Time, Origin, Destination, Delayed by.
I would like to do the following. In Delay I put in the date: 01/07/2005, fine. The Day (field format Date/Time dddd) is also 01/07/2005 which Access transofrms into the word "Friday". Airilne is BA. In Flight Numbers, I want the database to do a query on "TIMETABLE" to search all flights that operate on a Friday as some do not operate daily. (By the way in the 'Day' column of Timetable the values are "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday" or "Monday Thursday Saturday" depending on the flight). This query/lookup should be performed right after I type 01/07/2005 in the "day" field of "Table: Delay". A lookup combo box should be displayed when I arrive at the field FLight Number. I select a flight (e.g.: BA001) and automatically the Time, Origin and Destination of the flight should appear in the "Table: Delay".
I have been unsuccessful at even getting past the first hurdle. I tried a query of the "Table: Timetable" and fields "Day" and "Flight Number". The Criteria I do not know what to put in. "Like [Delay]![Day]" or "[Delay]![Day]" does not help and brings up nothing. However, "Like *Monday*" does bring up all the flights which operate on a Monday. However isn't there some way of telling the query to automatically occur after I type in the relevant day in the "Delay" table? Futhermore I would like to avoid (but not totally exclude if it's impossible) macros as eventually I hope to publish this to SQL or whatever.
There are multiple employees on a table, each with a period of time for which they worked. I am trying to gather these times together to see how many complete records I have for the time period of 4/1/1999 to 12/31/2004. So, for example,
Employee 1 works from 4/1/1999 to 12/31/2000.
Employee 2 works from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2004.
(From these two records, there will be 1 complete record of 4/1/99 to 12/31/04 AND 1 remaining record for the year 2000 left over.)
Employee 3 works from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2004.
(From these three records, 1 complete record + 2 2000 + 1 each for the years 2000-2004.)
Employee 4 works from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003.
(= 1 complete + 2 2000 + 2 2001-2003 + 1 2004)
Employee 5 works from 4/1/1999 to 12/31/1999
(= 2 complete + 1 2000 + 1 2001-2003)
And this goes on for all the employees. I need to find out the end amount of how many complete records and remaining dates all the employees have worked. I hope this was at least, somewhat clear. I remember doing something similar to this ages ago in programming class, but since then, my mind has degraded. =P Any help, insights, or advice would be greatly appreciated on how to get this done. =)
I am so interested to see a solution to this little problem…i think ithis is one of my more complicated questions!!!!
Problem:
Where I work we have a series of machines… named “ C1, H7, H8 etc”
Each line has 3 counters on it,
Impressions – records the number of cartons used on the line Standard Pack – records the number of filled cartons with product Output – records the number of cartons that complete the whole line process and are ready to be shipped to the customer.
Sounds straight forward enough….but the process gets a little more complicated.
Some lines are referred to as joint lines… this indicates that the product from each line the output figure is joined together and totalled. So it is not possible to calculate how many each line completed for the output figure. Note… it is only the Output figure that is joint, each line still has it’s own impressions and standard park counters
Grouped lines are given a group code – P8 in this case.
The output counter is brought in to the database automatically via a linked spreadsheet and a macro, this data is then stored in a table called “DaycodeMachineShiftImpressions” you will see in this table that the grouping is referred to as Machine.
As previously stated we have no real way of working out the amount each line has output individually.. the way it is calculated at the moment, is to take the figure for P8 and split it into 2 equal figures and assign that to each line.
So in this case the figure assigned to each line would be 800, although you will see that this is not possible for H8 line as it only put 400 cartons on the line in the first place.
I now want to implement the following calculation to my DB,
(see Attached Spreadsheet)
the calculations a re stored in cells b12 & b13 in the spreadsheet.
so that the output figure is separated
in proportion to impressions made.
I then need the figure per line to be fed back to the “tblProduction” output field..
in the tblproduction the data for P8 is stored to line level so in this case as H7 and H8, hence why i want to use the calculation to work out the output figure per line...
Can this be done automatically, if so please help me…
