I'm making a project in VB, and I need it to link to a Database,I already know how to do this
the project is a bit like who wants to be a millionaire with all the questions in an access table,
I know I need the following fields;
the auto number
the question
Answer A
answer B
answer C
the problem is I need to be able to select which answer is correct ?
I'm trying to build up a database for Multiple choice questions quiz in MS access 2010.My requirement are as follows
My quiz consist of 15 questions. Each questions carry some weightage. Suppose a question carries a weightage of 5 and there are two correct options like A & C. If user selects option A then he gets half marks.Multiple users can access the test at the same time.
I have a table called Contacts and a form with two combo boxes for searching for records either by name or property name. The following code works fine for finding the first record, but I want to be able to show on the form all (and only) those records which match the combo box entry. Currently rowsource for name box is:
************************************************** *
SELECT [Last Name1] FROM Contacts UNION SELECT [Last Name2] FROM Contacts
ORDER BY Contacts.[Last Name1];
************************************************** *
and code is:
************************************************** *
Private Sub Combo214_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control for Last Name search
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Last Name1]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "' OR [Last Name2]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "'"
rs.FindNext "[Last Name1]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "' OR [Last Name2]= '" & Me.[Combo214] & "'"
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Combo214.Value = ""
txtFirstName1.SetFocus
End Sub
************************************************** *
Rowsource for property box is:
************************************************** *
SELECT Contacts.PropertyID, Contacts.PropertyName
FROM Contacts
ORDER BY Contacts.PropertyName;
************************************************** *
and code is:
************************************************** *
Private Sub Combo212_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control for Property Name search
Dim rs As dao.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[PropertyID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo212], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Combo212.Value = ""
cboPropertyName.SetFocus
End Sub

Any help is appreciated!
I currently write (very long) reports for work, which have a lot of standard text in them - but the standard text varies according to the client's history.
I want to create a report-writing application for myself, composed of series of yes/no/maybe buttons
and depending on whether I click yes/no/maybe in each section, a different segment of text is inserted into the report.
Ideally the application would be able to insert, or create, formatted text - such as headings, bullet point lists etc - I would need to be able to export this report into Word
I started out by making a table, with each section being a different field, and the various paragraph options as different cells in the field, but I am stuck at present on the basic functionality of "click button , insert text"...
I have several tables all with identical fields (just different data). How can I put all those records into one table (or querry?
Thanks!
thank you all for your help.
i haved searched and i did not find an answer.
i have splitted my database which is on the citrix server and put the b/end on the shared drive and put the front end on my document on the users desktop. my question when one is using the form the other cannt use the same form? why is that?? how can i fix that. i would like users to use the same forms to enter data at the same time.
thank you
I'm back yet again with a new and intriguing set of problems.
I am building a fancy report and Come to find out you cannot use SQL to return one simple number in a text box because even though you know you will write the statement to return only one answer everytime, access doesnt understand that so we can do a domain aggregate thing with DLookup.
OK fine I have to do alot of them but still OK, here is my issue
I can get DLookup to give me what I want if i type into each control source the criteria that I want to return.
I want to lookup a number from a recordset but there are two things that make the number unique date and strain. strain is easy to cough up in the right place because i will hard code that into the control source dlookup, the part that is killing me is the date
I can get a dlookup to give me accurate results based on multiple criteria, but how can i get that to include the date for which I am running this report.
I do enter the date parameter each time i open the report.
Here's what i got so far
=DLookUp("csQuantity","SpawnScheduleCulSpawn","csstrain='AC-PA'" & " AND week = #4-29-07#")
That returns the answer i want, but i have 50 of these text boxes in one report so i cant go through and write the date in each one.
how can i make the part following " AND week =" dynamic so that it runs the date that i entered as the parameter for the report?
Thanks in advance!
I have 3 staffs
how can i make it possible for them to work in a same access file
with same form , query ???
I'm trying to sort dates by the latest date when the query returns multiple IDs with different results. Ex.
ID1 1/1/2006
1/8/2006
ID2 1/2/2006
1/9/2006
In this example I would want ID1 with the date of 1/8/2006 and ID2 with the date of 1/9/2006 since they are the latest date. I will have many IDs that I need to run a query on that will all return the latest date. TIA
I have a sum query issue I am trying to work out and I have trouble trying to coordinate it.I am trying to build sum queries inside one select query that would allow me to sum point values in a separate table. The problem I am foreseeing is that I have three tables all connected with realationships. The structure with the fields is below:
Table1:
Test Case
Description
...
Table2:
Run
Description
test_case
...
Table3:
Task
Points
Group (Run)
Date1
Date2
Date3
...
Relationships:
Table1.Test_case-->Table2.test_case ( 1-many)
Table2.Run--> Table3.Group ( 1-many)
I want to be able to sum the total amount of points in a test case. Currently I am able to sum the number of points per run by doing a sum query on SUM(Table3.Points) in a select query that queries Table2 and Table3. But I try to do that with select query for Table1 and Table2 the query returns the same sum for all test cases. That sum is equal to the point total for the 1st entry in Table1.
Can I add a criteria somehow to make the sum work for each Test Case entry in Table1?
Also in regards to this same summing issue I spawned a second issue. I wanted to run a sum query on Table3 that would allow me to sum all the entries in that table that had valid entries in the Date1 field. I tried the following criteria.
Not IsNull([Date1])
The query came back with the same output as the above sum query.
What I am trying to accompolish essentially is the to get two sums out of the query. The first sum would be to sum all of the points totals for each Test Case. The other being able to sum point totals based of if a Date1 Field being filled in for each Task.
I am pretty sure I can do this in one query and just manipulate the data in the form of expressions and sum queries.
I am still searching through this forum for valid suggestions. But any thoughts will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have the following say;
tblProducts:
Name
Categories
Price
tblCategories:
Name
IDNumber
at the moment, no relationships built
tblProducts "categories" requires the IDNumbers of the categories in tblCategories - there are mutiple IDNumbers for each product, and they need to be seperated by a comma - for example ProductA has categoryIDs 1,3,6 (where categories 1,3,6 and called A,C,F)
At the moment, I am having to manually look up what each categoryID number is by CategoryName, and then type it in the tblProducts category field.
I want to have a form which provides the tblProduct "Name" and then a long list of all the tblCategory "Name" contents as option (or tick) boxes. So all cateory Names listed.
Then when I tick mutiple boxes on this form for the categories, it populates the tblProduct "Categories" field with the tblCategories "IDNumber" codes, with a comma between each one! (so the names chosen actually populates with the ID number)
So basically if on my form, ProductA has category A,C,F ticked -- so the field tblProduct "Categories" is "1,3,6" (where 1,3,6 are the category IDNumbers and A,C,F are category names)
In other words, I want to be able to choose the categories for my products by choosing the Category Name (rather than ID) but having the ID populated into the relevant field -- I can do this with a combo box displaying a different field to that thats populated....but this only allows one selection....
I want mutiple categories to be chosen (via the form with option/tix boxes), and thus to populate the relevant field with commas seperating.
Is this last bit possible?!!
How!
thanks in advance

I have a query which check assignement of vehicles.
Is it possible to have combo box with all employee names ,and acording to that choice to execute query.
So when i open my report I want to be asked to pick name of 1 employee in drop down menu and then get his records.
If its doable please be gentle cause i am new in all this

I have two addressess, primary and secondary.
I would like to make an option button on the form that indicates (when selected) which address to use for mailings? Although, 9 times of 10, mailings are sent to the primary address, but there are those exceptions...
Can someone direct me to an example code to perform this?
I am trying to create a query that capture all the possible choice of a fields and do some math on them. let me make it clearer.
I have two fields that i need to create a query from forecast type(backup, hardcore) and win percent(76 to 100, 50 to 75, 26 to 49 and 0 to 25).
Forecast type is a drop down that has the following choice hardcore, backup or could be null. Win percent is just a number fields holds value between 0 and 100. One of the criteria for the range of number is when either backup or hardcore is null.i need them to line up as rows or columns so they either look like this
row view
Hardcore
Backup
76 - 100
50 - 75
26 - 49
0 - 25
column view
[Hardcore] [Backup] [76-100] [50-75] [26-49] [0-25]
I am currently using six queries to get the values for each group then joining them to get the final results. the problem with this is the values wont come out correctly. I know there is an easier solution to what i am doing right now.
I need some guidance and help to approach this issue. This will be use in a report so hopefully this provide more alternative to solve this problem.
thanks in advance
I'm trying to setup a parameter that has a multiple choice so to speak. Rather then the user being able to enter whatever data they want.. I would like them to have a choice between two items.
Is it possible? if so.. how do I do it?
Thanks!
I have a form which deals with complaints against employees.
One of the selections is a yes/no checkbox stating "No Merit" indicating the complaint has no merit.
If this checkbox is checked for Yes, I wish to require that data (an explanation) be entered as to why in your opinion the complaint has no merit.
This data would be entered in a text field called Comments.
On the "Close Form" command button I have tried to place the coding
If [nomerit]=yes And [comments]=" " then
run the message box.
I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas gratefully received.
I used a combo box to let user select "Proejct Status" such as active, completed, cancled. I want to set active as a default selection if user does not choose other status. How can I do that? Thank you very much for your help.

Like [Please Enter the Cluster you wish to view] & "*"
This prompts you to enter in the information.
Is there a statement, that will prompt to select from drop down choices when quering?
For example, I have a database that tracks test scores. I want to be prompted when I run the query to select from a drop down 'Pass' or 'Fail'
Can anyone help me?

Hi all,
I have a main form containing client details (tbl_Client) and a sub form containing notes (tbl_notes). tbl_Notes contains a foreign key field (Client_ID) which is obviously the primary key in tbl_Client.
The client is chosen on the main form using a combo box where the user selects the clients name. the id is not visable to the user. How can i get it so that the id (Client_ID) of the selected user is inserted into the Client_ID field of tbl_notes.
Thanks

I am creating av quiz database, that are supposed to handle about 50 users.
It's about 50 questions, and the answers will be long, more than 255 signs.
I have som issues on how to go so far.
The quiz respondents will answer in a dap (or maybe Asp) web page on the intranet. The structure, shown below doestn seem right.
So far I got this:

This is not a satisfying structure, but i'm not sure on where my mistake is.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Hello, I have a combo box called (cboridge) bound to a table called (Ridge)with two fields/columns called (dollar amount) (Material type)with 4 different options/records, when the user selects his option/field the dollar amount shows stays visible in the (cboridge) combo box Then I have a text box called (txtridgetot) that has a calculation in it, but I need different calculations per option/field that's picked. Can each option/record that is chosen have a different calculation associated with it in the (txtridgetot) text box.
In other words if the user selects the third option/field called shake ridge could I have a calculation that would run and have it display the sum of this calculation in the text box (txtridgetot).
If so could you please describe how?
Thanks-- Any help will be greatly appreciated.
How do I programmatically force an error dialog to make a certain choice?
I'm able to trap the dialog via the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
If DataErr = 7787 Then 'record updated by another "user" (subform)
MsgBox "Error trapped!"
Response = acDataErrContinue
Else
Response = acDataErrDisplay
End If
End Sub
Problem is, if I bypass the 7787 error in this manner, it defaults to dropping the changes, rather than saving the record, which is what I want. (Both are choices on the dialog.)
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello!
I have several menus defined for Access 2010. However, only one is set with the visible property set to true.The user is able to show and bring up the other menus by right-clicking in the menu area. How can I disable this so the user may not bring up these menus? An example is shown in the picture below. I don't want to give the user access to the "CPLAccess" and "Datasheet column removed" menus, but I do want to keep them so that I can make them visible via VBA.
