I have read as much as I can about using access and have decided it's time to have a play - so please forgive me if this is a silly question. Here goes.
I have a single table - it lists staff by name and staff number and shows 3 qualifications that they may or may not need (yes/no columns).
I have managed to produce queries/reports that show, for each of the 3 qualifications whcih personnel that require that qualification have not achieved it.
I now want to produce a query/report that lists any personnel that are outstanding any of their required qualifications and if so which qualification they are outstanding.
I feel like a goober for even asking this, since I've been using Access for three years now for work-related databases, but this is actually the first time this has come up and I can't, for the life of me, figure it out.
I need to find out if there is a way to copy something (a year, for example) and paste that one thing onto multiple rows within one column of the datasheet (Year Attended, for example.)
I don't want to have to type in the year 1,296 times; I'd like to see if I can highlight the portions of that column I want (all of the people who attended in 2005) and paste "2005" into all of the highlighted cells at once. In Excel, for example, you can copy something, highlight an entire section, and it will paste into each cell.
i've got a field in a form where u need to pick gender(in dutch) Now there's an Attention further on and i need the proper attention:(in english= Male=Sir,Female=Madame) Which is in dutch: Male= M = De heer Female = V = Mevrouw, Unknown = O or B = De heer/mevrouw, So my code became: =IIf([Geslacht];"M";"De heer";(IIf([Geslacht];"V";"Mevrouw";"De heer/mevrouw")))
1. list of all countries, with one Bogus "All" representing all countries
2. When i select a Country from drop down list, i should get list of States in that Country. Again with one Bogus "All" representing all States in that Country
3. When i select a State from drop down list, i should get list of Cities in that State. Again with one Bogus "All" representing all Cities in that State
thanks for all ur help in my previous posts.......
ive got this problem, ive got a form that provides mobile details.
on the same form theres an add button and clear button.

why does this validation occur??? how do i get rid of it.............
i want it to exit without any problem....... becoz i have cleared the form
I have been using Excel for many years and have just got to the stage where I need to build a database. I have managed to work out how to import the data ok but within the single table that I will be using I need to have a column which will add up the contents of four other columns.
EG.
Cells in Column T to be the total of cells in the same row from columns C, E, F and G.
Please would someone be kind enough to let me know if this can be done and if so how I can go about achieving this.
ok guys i know this is really stupid and silly but i cant see for the life of me what i am doing wrong i have a query where i want to only show records between to dates (including first and last)
when i do both or less than one date nothing shows using the code below SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY1, Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS VALUE1, DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY] FROM ITEMTBL INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE") AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1] And (HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)<=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATETO1])) GROUP BY DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]);
when i do greater than the from date it this code below works SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY, Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS [VALUE], DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY] FROM ITEMTBL INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1]) AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE")) GROUP BY DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]);
:( i cant see what is different or missing help please
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
This is executed by an event in another form that loads the new form and starts dumping in values. For some reason I'm suddenly getting "Object doesn't support this property or method. 'Object' is simply a textbox that is enabled, but is also locked altho to my knowledge this isn't a problem. It's late and I've been working for hours so this may be something simple I've overlooked...need to step away for a while.
I have the following fields in a query: "Employee_number", "shiftname", and "shiftdate" And I have the following code on the criteria of "shiftdate": >= dateadd("d",-7,Date()) so that only records from the past 7 days are displayed which is fine, however when I run the query it displays the following
which is not quite what i want.....Is it possible to make it only show the same shiftname with the same shiftdate just the once instead of showing it several times for each employee?
Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
We have two computers in a work group. On computer1 I have the back-end and front-end database files in the shared folder and 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the error message "Microsoft Access can't Find The Database 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsdb.mdb' Make sure you entered the correct path and filename" On computer2 I have the front-end database files in the shared folder and pointing to the same back-end database on computer1. Again 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the same error described above.
I expect that this is some sort of windows permissions issue? There are some clues to this fact .. The two users that can't access the database are limited accounts, but I tried making them administrators and this had no affect. Their shared documents folder does not have a hand underneath it?
Any help on this appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me now!
I have a Reporting Dashboard form that inturn has many buttons to open up different reports and forms.
Now I have been asked to extend the access to a few other users with restricted access. The new users cannot see all the form and report buttons in the Reporting dashboard form.
How can i restrict this? They also need to be given separate logins and passwords. How I can accomplish this?
I am new to Access and also this forum. I need to create a list for attandence. In other words, I have a data and it should be mannered in such a way that, it should include the leaves taken, number of absentees in a day, remaining leaves, etc., Some information I request are: 1> Is excel better to create this or Access 2> I am not good in VB. Is VB necessary for this? 3> Can anyone suggest how I can create this. (Any sites which can help me) The help given in the access did least help to me. 4> How is access used for these types of applications.
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

I'm new to this forum so please help! I have created a db for my dad's office which will be stored on his fileserver. I want it so that only one person at a time can access the db otherwise i hate to think how messy it could get! I'm not 100% sure how to do this so can anyone help? So far i have put on exclusive access under the tools-options-advanced tab but am not sure if this is right or will it just stop people going on when only i am on.
I'd like to first thank you for any help you can offer on any of the following issues.
Situation: I've been tasked to streamline our in-processing requirements for new employees and told that the Access program can help tremendously. In order for this program to work I need to make it as easy to use as possible for some of my more computer illiterate bosses.
Tasker: Design a one-stop-shop program that is in-depth and both easy to input data and easy to show multiple outputs if we want. For example: If Jon Doe is coming into our business then I might need his prior work experience, social security number, date of birth, name, address, phone number, supervisor name etc. I know how to do some of this but I don’t know how to: 1. Make a drop down menu in a specific field to allow only the pre placed answers to work.
2. Allow a supervisor to see a 90 day forecast of only the employees who will require an evaluation. (this would require an easy to navigate program that allows the supervisor to click on the desired output and time frame to see the info)
3. Make it a clean and professional tool that will be relatively simple to maintain for future employees.
Thank you again for any help or reference material you can offer. Have a great day.
Hi If I want several users to access a database from their network pc's, should I place the access database .mdb file on the server and set the Sharing properties, then install the access application on each of their stations.
They need to each be able to use the database when they need to and read or add data, reports etc.
Hi all How are you? I have a small problem... I have an access db called MainDB, which has tables, queries, data entry form. This db (MainDB) is located in the network server. I have another access db called BranchDB. This db (BranchDB) has no tables, it has linked tables to those tables from the MainDB, and it has the forms for view only (No Data Entry). The problem is that users from there local machines can not access the BranchDB at the same time. What can I do? Your help will be highly appreciated.
I'm creating my first Access database and have it looking the way I want, however, when I look at it in Forms view, I can't add new contacts. The buttons to skip to the first and last records look active, but the "add new" and "move to next record" buttons are de-activated.
From what I've read in Access Help, if I'd created it in Page view instead of in Form's Design View, I could add this function quickly with the toolbox. But the toolbox in Design View doesn't have that button.
There has to be an easier solution than scrapping everything and starting over in Pages.
Thank you for any suggestions.
ps. appologies if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom. How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs? Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I need to launch the database on the server as a multi user. Only one station can change the designs and major issues. But other stations have the right to add/edit/delete data. I tried that through security account and permission. It works on the admin, but not with other user login. How can I link the access user to my server user login?
I thought I new enought about access databases. I've used the Time & Billing database as a template for my sister to use, but her partner uses a MAC. How can I get the MAC to access the database? I believe the MAC can use Excel but how can I link these two, if at all.
