Any idea how i can create historic view of the table/record so i can view any changes that have been made to a specific record?
For example...
I create a record. Later somebody comes and changes some of the data on this record. I would like to be able to view all the previous data before it was modified for this one record.
Any Ideas?
Hope that makes sense.

I want to know if possible how to define the structure or function that when you have a table "customers" and yoy (f.instance) change the address, you can save, modify the actual value but conserve the historical value.
Previously I am reading on how to create a Form that permit to obtain all the data required (not to complete) but to consult and if u want to modify.
I think this form could be easy but I want to create the register of the modification so that if any problem I can check the person who changed the data when and what items.
I think this is complex but I want to try....
I am trying to design a database for an HR management system.
I am not very clear on how to handle historic employee data in this database and will need some help and advice please. Any comment you can provide, i'd really appreciate it.
We will like to have record of historic data and the date of change:
Employee address change
Employee name change
Salary change
Position/Title change
Office location change
Number of dependents change
Bonus received year-to-year
E.g. if an employee name changes, we should still have to have a record of what the old name was.
Scenario:
Jacqueline Peters got married 2years after her employment date and now goes by Jackie Harrison (the changed was made on the system), she leaves the firm 10years later. Many years later, someone calls about a Jacqueline Peters that worked here, we have no way of knowing who that is.
Now, we would like to the salary she was earning 5years after she started here though her endsalary has changed 10years later she got a big promotion (salary change) and changed department, we have no way of knowing what her salary at a particular time was and what her old title was.
What's the best way to design this database to handle historic data? Have you worked on something similar? How did you go about it?
Any ideas and comments will be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that has a combo box. The combo box lists all employee names and one has to be selected. I've been adding employees over time as new employees come. This DB is 3 years old so there are many employees showing in the combo box selection that are no longer here. I'd like to only have the current employees visible but I do not want to just delete them from the Table because then the historic data wouldn't be complete. How can I only show the current employees in the combo box and maintain the data in the table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database that contains details of payments returned to a bank account without sufficient information to identify who the money belongs to.
The DB is used by a team of people to retrieve details of an individual entry and when they have figured out who the money should be sent to they can mark that the payment has been "located". We can only send the refund at certain times of the month, so there is another activity "applied" where we have entered details on internal systems for the refund to be processed. Finally, once a month we physically transfer the money out of the bank account and add a "completed" date to all entries that were "applied" before that date.
My manager would like to be able to look back at a certain date to see what the balance was so he can make charts and whatever else in Excel. The balance will be all payments that were not marked as "completed" on that particular date.
I'm having trouble making a query that will give him the balance for each day in the past.
The important tables/fields here are
TBL_MAIN - dateReceived (date) and amountRefunded (currency)
TLK_LOCATED - appliedDate (date/Time) completedDate (date/Time)
TBL_DATES - activityDate - just a list of dates, which I use for a similar query of the amount we located/applied each day
So I'm looking for a query that will list all dates in tbl_dates against the sum of amountReceived up until that date, with the sum of amountReceived where completedDate is less than the date listed subtracted.
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.
I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks
Hi, I am in the process of creating a new database - I am a bit new to this. I have a main form, which also contains two subforms. The record source of the main part of the form is 11 tables, and then each of the subforms is based on one table each (so there are 13 tables altogether).
Everything seems to be linked up ok, and when I add new information to the form (and the subforms), the information gets saved to the tables as it should be. However, I want to be able to view past records in the form view, so that users can regularly update past records using form view. I can't do this. Each time I open the form view, the thing at the botton left says 'record one of one.' THen if I put the curser in (for eg) the box called 'client name' and click on the search button, I get a message saying:
"you can't find or replace now, the fields are not searchable due to:
- the fields are controls;
- the fields have no data;
- there are no fields to search."
well I don't really know what that means. There is definately data in there somewhere, because I can view it in the table view, but I'd like to be able to view and update old records, and search, in the form view.
any tips?
thanks for helping
You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
I am wondering why the alteration to my form in design view is not reflected in the "normal" form view. I have included the two views. In design view I moved "Staff In"/"Staff ID" to the top of the form believing that as I work left to right thay would appear on the left hand side in normal view.
However, in the image of "normal" view you can see that "Staff In" is way over on the right hand side of the form.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you

I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte
I have a list view in my form
I add new rows in the list view by code
here is my code:
ListView.HideColumnHeaders = True
With ListView.ListItems
.Add , , name_book, , 1
.Add , , name_pupil, , 3
.Add , , MAX_DATE, , 4
.Add , , KAT, , 5
.Add , , "__________________________"
End With
my problem is that when i add more value, the new value add at the bottom of the list view that I cant see it just have to use the scroller.
is it possible to add new value but to see it on the top, that in the list view I see the new value and to see the old value I use the scrollers.
thanks!
Can MS Access do "create view"?
CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT columns
FROM table
WHERE predicates;
When I put it in the SQL View in the query, it does NOT run.
I put it in modules, it doesn't run, too.
Thanks.
Hi
Just a quick question
Is there any way that I can view which users are logged onto the database?
Thanks
hi all,
how do i create view based on a condition.
For example my database consists of a Employee table
*Token ID
Name
AGE
Location
Division.
Now the users of this table would be employees from different divisions.
And i want to create a view for each division for records only belonging to that particular division. And use this view to update records of that division.
Or should i create tables for each division and then give access of each table to the respective division user.
Any response is welcome..
Is there anyway of defaulting to SQL view when firing up a query to amend it? (Rather than going into Design view)
There doesnt appear to be a configurable option to do that under Tools.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to create a view of two tables. However, my two tables are very similar in the data they have; there are differences though. I don't want it to paste all the similar data twice though I want it to merge the similar data.. Is this what a view does anyway???
Thanks in advance!
This should be easy one. I have form with a sub form. Sub form is shown at table view. The problem is how can i lock the layout of the table view so user can't fix the size of colums and rows?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I have a working database that I log events that we attend but we're desperate to be able to see our bookings in a calendar view so that it can be distributed to our presenters etc. Is there any way I can design a report or new form view that will recognise dates? Linking to an Oulook calendar would be a second preference.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Many Thanks
