Hi all I am quite new in access, and I have been looking around the forum, but have not find anything that really matches my project, I don't even know if I can achieve in access!!
There is a screen shot of what I would like to create wich is a screen that shows me the full calendar year, the year can be changed with arrow buttons next to the year, the grey area are the saturdays and sundays per each year. Finally for every they in the calendar including the saturday and sundays I can insert a letter or a number the mark as holiday or other events and the field would change color as in the picture!!!
Is this possible?
Thnks

I need to develop the automatization for my firm. The first stepp is the calendar planner. I am completly new in access and I have some questions:
To show you what I need I did it in excel sheet that you can see here:
http://www.speedyshare.com/619380497.html
So, I need all my data distributed in days separated by the line between them. I don't want to have the same date repeatedly written. If you go to T1...T5 fields you will see that there is a meny for names and in the last fields yes/no option to choose.
How can I do a table like that in acces with lines and menus?
I tried to create the table and put for eg. the field of time that has to be separated from the field of date. But there if I choose the time, i have to put Date/time format that forces me also to put the date in the same field with time. How can I do that? Many thanx!
I'm new to this forum so please excuss me if my question isn't in the right format.
I'm trying to export a database to a progam by the name of AA Planer. I did a google on the phrase "access exprort AA Planner" and I got web page that said to "export the data in CVS format where Exel would acept it." So that brought me to the asumtion to export the data in CVS to import it to AA Plannner. Would I be right in making that asumtion.
I have read more post than i care to think about but I can't stil get my head round the following problem. I have created a database (with this forums help) but I am stuck on the following query/form/vba etc....
Our staff holidays run from 01/05/05 until 30/04/06 and i have a query that calculates what holiday entitlement staff are due from 01/05/05 on a daily basis up to 23 days worth of hols ending on 30/04/06, but I can't work out how to set next years holiday period 01/05/06 - 30/04/07 without changing the form manually, is there a way for it to auto update??
i need to design and build a access database for school where staff for a business could request holidays with there holidays then appearing on sum sort of calendar which can be viewed.
does nebody know where i can find an example to help me with my desing?
I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.
1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?
2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?
3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?
4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.
Hi guys. Back on the development trail having enjoyed a long break after the birth of my son :)
How quick one forgets!!
Project: My father-in-law would like me to develop a DB for his new company. They buy and sell plant hire (all done the old fashioned way, on paper).
His requirements are a little beyond anything I have attempted in the past so was hoping for some sound advice.
He would like to be able to record both Sales and Purchases. I have never worked with Stock before. What is the best method, any examples (did a search on stock prior to posting). He would also like to have VAT as an option (this stumped me on my last project!!).

this Project about computer company , the Boss of this company want from me to make database help him to know :-
Customer's Information. what the customer's invoce , pay , remain. Supplier's Information. money come , money go.
that's not all , but it's the main points , I just want the any project similar to my project....... or at least , sites have examples for what I want.
NOTE : I attached Company.zip that contain Company.mdb and Company.accdb (they are the same) that what I made until now.
Hey guys, new here and I need a little help with a project my boss wants me to complete.
Basically right now, he has a huge directory of quote sheets that he fills out whenever he wants to generate a quote for a customer (they are excel files, i've attached a picture of one). He wants me to create something that will scan through this directory file by file and extract certain pieces of information from each excel file, and put them into a database. The company I work for isn't too big, so i'm going to use access as the database.
I've also suggested building a new quote sheet in VB, and programming it so everytime the form is closed, the certain pieces of information he wants will be saved into the database. So I guess after this we can forget about Excel. But also, he wants to be able to bring up the entire quote sheet again if need be.
If you guys could please help me out, what would be the best way of going about doing this? Am I heading in the right direction as far as my thinking goes?

Hi, I have a project about creating a data base of Foreign Trade, where I have to choose the country, then to determine the period (years). so, could you please tell me how: 1- to link a combo box with a query (comob box of list of countries) 2- to link 2 combo boxes with a query of starting date and ending date (the criteria is: >=[start date]and<=[end date] ).....should I separate this criteria and put it in to 2 columns of same data (years)...I tried it but it didn't work. 3- to link a Run Query command button with conditions mentiond above. When I established the command button, it showed the whole data base, so how can I link it with 2 conditions above. Waiting your appreciated replies a.s.a.p.
I am new to this forum and to Access. I have expierience with visual basic.
I am making a program in access for saving data when someone borrows something from you, to keep track of all your borrowed stuff.
Here are my questions.
1) How can I write code for buttons to change the records (movenext, movelast,...) + how can I change the current record? + how can I control a scrollbar via code?
2) How can I change the current recordsource via code and how can I run previously made query statements via code?
3) How can I change the ShowDropButtonWhen property from a combobox via code?
4) How can I control a FlexGrid via code?
5) How can I open another Form with a press on a button via code?
6) How can I save and load an OLE/object image and how can I show them via an ActiveX control?
Thats about it folks
If anyone can point me in the right direction or can give me an example database, I would be very happy:)
Ok first off thank you for anyone who even reads this.
Iv been assigned a project in using Access 2003 and only Access 2003. Im stuck and getting frustrated and was wondering if anyone would mind helping me.
What my Prof wants is a Access database with a form to do the following
Ok he wants us to input 1 of each category as if we were ordering
then he wants us to order it and print out a Recipte with the following info.
Sub total Tax Total Purchase How many Calories the entire order is.
Im attaching a .mdb file with what i have come up with but im not sure if its even going in the right direction. I would forever be in debt if someone would help me.
rename the wendys.txt in the zip file too wendys.mdb
Ok, well basically i am trying to write my own database. and i have not the a very good working knowlage of access and some many bits that are over my head, Would any of you guys be willing to help me out with this? I would be willing to pay someone to do this, if you could give me prices per hour ether here if permited. or via Private Message. for comunication purposes i could use skype or msn messanger. as there will probably be some bits i would need to explain. I am a little bit of a perfectionist so i would try and explain as clearly as i can as to what i want. there is no desparate rush on this project altho july would be great, one of my friends was meant to be helping do this as he is good with access but i have been waiting for him to do this for about 6 months.
Lately I have been using my db's on computers which did not create them (my db's). I've been seeing this message sometimes; Microsoft Access You have modified a signed project. you do not have the correct key to sign this project. the signature will be discarded.
can someone point me in the right direction. I think I've been down this road before but forget the correct path:confused:
I have over the last few months been building my own Project management system.This is based around A Phase task principle but the phases and tasks are used to create an estimate for a project depending on how much time is assigned to each Task.The system can use multiply Estimates with different billing codes plus their is a billing code system where billing can be done by a default list of codes (Rates 1-5) Or assigned rates for a client.I'm not after any money for it and will make it available to members hear.If anybody want to look at it and maybe make suggestions on improvements or let me know of any errors that would be greatIt would be an mde with an mdb back end.You should be able to update the back end that I don't think will be a problem LOL When it comes to new versions.As I said I don't want ANYTHING For you using it but would be nice to get it working better.mickp.s Ill Post some pictures if ya want. And It is a work in progress?Please use this topic from now on http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=121117 this is where the beta 1 downloads available from.
I am a total NOOB when it comes to access....i am currently taking an access class at my college and its time for our first project. I really need help getting started cuz alot of the terminology is so new to me... I have been provided with a sheet of information and have to create a DB based on said information.
if anyone out there is feeling super generous with their time and is willing to help me through it...just to get me started..my aim is NIPPONLIFE86.ive found that its getting everything going that is the hardest...especially when im creating a database not just inputing data.:confused:
Does Access database support muliple users on the same data update, if so how many. What will be the best way to avoid locking up a field when somebody else is trying to update a different field within the system. It run on server:
I have extensively searched the forum to try and find an answer.
Im trying to develop a Project tracker database which will track the progress of my ongoing projects, does anyone out there have an example or another link to get me started.
I know MS Project would be the answer but we do not ned it in as much detail as this and they definately want it written in MS Access.
Have been asked to "update" an archaic database for a consultancy firm. The existing database is approx 20+ years old and appears to use .DBF files for storing the records.
Now, the DB itself I can do, but I've normally only written DB's for one or two users. So before even considering doing this work, I would be greatful for any advice on the following.
They use a central server linked to 8 user pc's. I assume I will therefore need a FE/BE database. Would it be useful to determine what version of MS Server Client they're using?
Using Standard Access 2000 or above, (i've still to confirm what version they require it written in) can a FE/BE database be created, that will be useable (speed / reliability etc)?, I'm told that they will have ~4 users using the system at any one time. Do I need to consider using SQL Server (and if so what level / version)?
From initial emails, the 4 main .dbf files are 50Mb each. I seem to recall that without using SQL Server, once a standard Access Database starts to exceed 200Mb it starts to cause operational issues. Is this correct?
Lastly, if anyone can point me to a good book / website that discusses the standard coding changes that need to be made when establishing connections etc in VBA for multiple user databases I would be extremely grateful.
