How Do I Build An Expression Between A Subform And A Table
Feb 7, 2007
I have been building my DB and learning everything from scratch. If anybody could give me any advice as to where I may be going astray, it would be much appreciated as I feel like I've hit a brick wall. I run a building firm and need a DB to look after customer information, write estimates, invoices and ultimately do the accounts.
I think my DB needs are very basic to start with and I'm guessing the system only needs to be fairly simple and straightforward. So far my DB has:-
•Customer form with an in-built Estimate subform - this form gives me a brief outline of the customer and how many estimates I have for him.
•If you then double click on an estimate number (in the Estimate subform) this takes you to my Items form (when I create an estimate normally in Word, I have to break jobs down into their components and price each item individually, hence I made an Items table). Each item has an Item Cost.
•I then run the report “Estimate” and have set up a total calculation box on the report ready to print it out for the customer.
My problem is that I would like to know how I can get the Estimate Total to appear in my Estimates Table and Estimates Subform. So far I have achieved making a crosstab query to calculate the Estimate Total (Amount) for each specific Estimate ID, but I cannot get the Total from the Crosstab Query into the Estimate Table, from which I would probably be able to get it into the Estimate Subform. I have a suspicion I need to build an expression in the Estimate Subform - but.....
Once I am over this problem I will want to turn Estimates into Invoices and have that data displayed in my Estimate Subform too, although I think I have got a good idea of how to do this, I would again be open to comments/advice if offered.
Hi all, I have a field that stores software versions as text. The version numbers can be simple (4.0, 5.0) or unknown or more complicated (4.5.200512, etc). The user wants to be able view data in a pivotChart without seeing interim versions- so 4.5.200512 would not show up but its data would be counted as part of 4.5. Anybody know how I can do this? thanx
Can anybody help me build the last table in my database? I have taught myself Access – and can usually get by with a little help from this forum. I have been trying for days to try and solve this !!!
The database is designed to manage feedback questionnaires from attendees of training courses.
I have attached the relationship diagram.
- A course may run for several days. The details of the course are held in the table ‘Courses’. During a course, attendees may be asked to fill in several Questionnaires - An Attendee is a Person that attends a Course. Attendees are held in the table ‘Attendees’ and their details are held in the table ‘Person’. - There is a ‘Library’ of questions that sit in the table ‘Questions’ - The questions can be assembled into “Standard Questionnaires”. These sit in the table called “Questdesign” which is a junction table. Assembling a Standard Questionnaire involves using a form to pick questions and give them an order (Qnumber). I HAVE DONE THIS. - A specific “Questionnaire” is a “Standard Questionnaire” that is used on a specific course. The list of Questionnaires is held in the table “Questionnaire” - Scoresheet is the junction table between Attendee and Questionnaire (an Attendee on a course may fill in several Questionnaires and a Questionnaire may be filled in by lots of Attendees.)
I now need a table (Scores) in which to put all the scores to the questions (in other words, the scores of the questions on the Questionnaires that are completed by the Attendees on a Course.)
At the end of the day I am aiming to have a form in which:
The Attendee number is entered and all the person’s details are filled in automatically) – I HAVE DONE THIS The Questionnaire number is entered and all the course details are filled in automatically – I HAVE DONE THIS A Scoresheet ID is filled in (Autonumber) - I HAVE DONE THIS A subform appears which shows the right set of questions and question numbers for the appropriate Questionnaire – with a blank column so that the user can fill in the scores which get stored in the Scores Table. - I CAN'T DO THIS !!!
I cannot work out where to link my Scores table and how to build a query that drives the correct behaviour of the subform
I hope I have explained this clearly. I would be so grateful for any help. This Forum is fabulous.
Using Access 2000 is it possible to specify a starting location ie (c:) and using VBA search every sub folder from this point for files ending .mdb or .xls?
I want to be able to build a table with an record showing the file name and directory for each file found.
Access 2000: How can I populate a two field table (1. Table Name 2. Field Name) with the name of ever field within every table in my database using VBA code?
Hello!I have a table, with quantities in a field that I need to split in batches of 25, to build a new table. Example:object price qtyblah1 1.00 144blah2 2.00 76My results need to look like this:object price qtyblah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 19.00 19 (5x25+19=144)blah2 50.00 25blah2 50.00 25blah2 50.00 25blah2 2.00 1 (3x25+1=76)I've been able to build a new table based on these values of 25 etc using MOD, but it's making columns. How can I build a new table and make new RECORDS using MODULUS (or another?) technique instead?? I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone can help.Cheers
I am attempting to build a table relationship, however when I enforce referential integrity, I keep receiving the message: "No unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table".
I checked and I have no duplicates in the primary table or secondary table.I will set up the two tables as thus: 1. Master table - People Who Eat 2. Secondary table - a table for all people who eat pizza.
I am trying to link my pizza table to the Poeple Who Eat table. I have created my own primary key for each table (an account number). My secondary table is much smaller in population than the People Who Eat table (which would include data from other subgroups). I am trying to get the 'yes'/'no'/'uncertain' from the secondary table into the primary table without manual entry.
I have searched all over the web and have not been able to find why the tables will not link. I am new to Access, so there may be something I am overlooking. Is there a way to get this information from the other table other than building a relationship?
When running a query i have created an expression which is simply 2 fields joined together. JOBLOC:[JOB]&[LOCATION]. I want to link this expression with a field in a second table [SCOPE], but for the life of me can't remember how i did it. Either in query design or SQL.
I am writing a basic database to track performance for a stationery company.
Basically the database is used to track how long it takes certain depts to complete a task, so each dept ticks a box when they pass the task to the next dept and this populates a field with the date and time that they tick the box using the expression =IIf([Passed to Collate]="-1",Now()," ")
My problem is the box that you place the expression is also the box that you would select which column of the table the result would be sent to and I'm not sure how else you would run querys to establish total time and average time for the task.
I'm sure I'm missing something easy as I can't see why you wouldn't be able to save the result of an expression to the table and use it in querys/reports etc.
I am very inexperinced with Access, please be kind. My problem is that from the form view the simple division of 2 #'s are placed in the correct text box I selected, but I am unable to get the value to enter into the data table. Please help.
I am new to MS Access, when I am making any calculation using some expression, then I have to save the result to table, it is not saved. Please anyone suggest the solution for my problem..... and mail at rupedhiman@gmail.com.
I have a text box on my table form with the expression =([LINES]-[MISSED LINES])/[LINES] which gives me the results I want but I also want this total to go to the "On time %" column in my table.
How do I build a form which will pull only certain work orders from my table [Work Orders], filter it through a query, [Payroll] which gives me only those work orders which match a certain repID#, for only certain Invoice Dates, and and then display a talley of the total number of times a certain product appears in the field [ProductSold] on the query [Payroll]?
My query is coming along nicely, but as always once one problem is solved you find another :rolleyes: !
My problem is that I have thus far specified criteria for the field OrdDeliveryCountry, but this field is not filled in unless the delivery address is different from the default address for the customer, therefore it is frequently blank and so the query wasn't finding all records, only those where the Delivery Address was specific to the order.
I want to use the IIf function to make an expression to say (in linguistic terms): If OrdDeliveryCountry is blank, then use the country in the Customers table.
Sounds simple enough, but the criteria currently is: WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden") AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2))
So how do I combine the IIf(expr,truepart,falsepart) with "Is Not x Or x Or x"?I.E. I need to get it to exclude records where OrdDeliveryCountry does not equal one in the list, and if that is blank then the Country field in the Customers table does not equal one in the list?
My attempt is this, but I think I'm way off the mark
SELECT ORDERS.SHIPDATE, PRODUCTS.[STANDARD TARRIFF NUMBER], [ORDER DETAILS].[QUANTITY] * [ORDER DETAILS].[UNITPRICE] * (1 - [DISCOUNT]) * (1 - [SPECIAL DISCOUNT]) AS LINETOTAL, [ORDER DETAILS].QUANTITY, ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY, ORDERS.ORDERID, [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID FROM CUSTOMERS RIGHT JOIN (PRODUCTS RIGHT JOIN (ORDERS LEFT JOIN [ORDER DETAILS] ON ORDERS.ORDERID = [ORDER DETAILS].ORDERID) ON PRODUCTS.PRODUCTID = [ORDER DETAILS].PRODUCTID) ON CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERID = ORDERS.CUSTOMERID WHERE (((ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = IIF(ISNULL([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]),([CUSTOMERS]![COUNTRY] NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"), (([ORDERS]![ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY]) NOT LIKE "Austria" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Belgium" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Cyprus" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Czech Republic" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Denmark" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Estonia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Finland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "France" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Germany" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Greece" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Hungary" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Ireland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Italy" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Latvia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Lithuania" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Luxembourg" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Malta" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Holland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Poland" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Portugal" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovakia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Slovenia" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Spain" OR (ORDERS.ORDDELIVERYCOUNTRY) = "Sweden"))) AND ((PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Upgrade" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Repair" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Rpr" AND (PRODUCTS.PRODUCTNAME) NOT LIKE "*Commission") AND ((ORDERS.[DEMO/SALEID]) = 2)) ORDER BY ORDERS.SHIPDATE DESC;
My thoughts:
Maybe I need to re-structure the WHERE clause? Would it work if the IIf expresssion was in the SELECT part not the WHERE part?
I would really appreciate some help with this: I'm not sufficiently familiar with structuring statements as complex as this and I don't know all the syntax rules etc.
I have a Make-Table Query that has five expressions. I have changed the properties of these columns so that, when you view the query, it shows the column names I have chosen. So, instead of Expr1, I get "Haggis", and instead of Expr2, I get "Cold Toast".
BUT, when this query creates a table, the column headings revert to Expr1 and Expr2. Is there any way to make my custom column headings stick in the new table?
I should add that I frequenty run this query and overwrite the table. Thus, even if I go into the table and change the field headings, as soon as it is overwritten these changes revert.
Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is =(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
I've got a Table with a string of data delimited by an "*". The first part of the string before the "*" can be variable in length, so if I use a LEFT expression to break apart the 2 parts of the string on each side of the "*", my results are incorrect. In MS Excel, I can use the following formula to solve the problem:
=LEFT(B6,(FIND("*",B6)))
You are just substituting the number of positions with a Find command that looks for the "*", and returns anything left of the "*". Unfortunately, the brilliant programmers at Microsoft, once again, don't have an Excel function in Access. how to recreate that functionality in a table in Access?
I have some database with columns 'Number', 'Mfr Name' and 'Mfr Part Number'. Number - internal catalogue item of a company. Mfr Name - name of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Mfr Part Number - part number of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Each item may have one or more Mfr Name & Mfr Part Numbers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I need to build a following query: Input gets part of Mfr Part Number and output is all Mfr Name & Mfr Part Number of match item.
I have attacked quite a few guides ( Dummies & Absolute Beginners ) on how to build a database of my gardening clients, but have run into a problem that they can't seem to resolve. Is there anyone out there who can help me with "referential integrity" and trying to link relationships between the various tables I have created.
Does anyone know how you might build sliding bar displays as an input device for scores into an Access database? I am building an application that could really use something like this.
Here is an example. First go to the 'Chelsea tab', slide the bars, submit the results, and see the results on the "Results" tab
How can I build a date in a query that is used for filtering purposes? The data is in the records in two fields - Month and Year. In our query we have an expression that builds a date - DateRange: [Month]/1/[Year] in order to qualify the record with the criteria Between FromDate and ThruDate. DateRange as it is shown here returns a date of 12/30/1899 for all records. DateRange: #[Month]/1/[Year]# is invalid syntax. DateRange: [Month] & "/" & 1 & "/" & [Year] is not recognized as a date.
Let's say that I've got the following tables: - tblCustomers(IDCust,NameCust) - tblEmployees(IDEmpl,NameEmpl) - tblProjects(IDProj,IDCust,IDEmpl,Duration)
My query: SELECT tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl, Sum(tblProjects.Duration) AS SumOfDuration FROM (tblProjects INNER JOIN tblEmployees ON tblProjects.IDEmpl = tblEmployees.IDEmpl) INNER JOIN tblCustomers ON tblProjects.IDCust = tblCustomers.IDCust GROUP BY tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl ORDER BY tblCustomers.NameCust;
