I have about 125 .mdb's I want to go through, and in each one, select a table and run a "find duplicates" query, creating a table of duplicate record info for research into why there are duplicates.. I am aware I can manually do this within each .mdb, but would be happy to be able to automate the process.
I wasn't sure what to search for, which is the reason for my posting. If anyone has an idea (and not questions on why I want to do this, or probs. I might encounter), I would be most appreciative.
Beginner with Access 2010 - making additions to one field in a JunctionTable. Need to extend a field by adding some new numbers but have found it easier to Export to Excel - make changes and replace in accdb.
I have found an Excel formula that does what I want but starts from the number "1".
=INT((ROW()-1)/9)+1
Which starts with number "1" and repeats this 8 times then increments by one and repeats 8 times.
But I want to start with a number of choice (7270 and go to 9028). Have seen some VBA versions but none give me control of the start number. I am then able to update the second empty field on the JunctionTable from a query. (this is a fixed number).
I'm not sure if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have a text field in each record in my database (Inherited) The db has nearly 5,000 records. I would like to split the field into records in a seperate table. An Example of the table as is now;
Is this possible in one hit or do I need to process the records without dates first and then run another process to split those with Dates? I say dates but the field is a text field. About 15-20% of the records contain dates which are always enclosed in parenthesis.
I am implementing a quoting system at work. Many times, a customer wants the same job that he asked for last year or 2 years ago, so basically it's the same information. So when the customer calls, I look for his last quote, and then would add a button that would create a new quote (record) but with the same information. It would be a burden to enter all the same information each time the customer calls for the same job over and over again.
Hello, I have a DB table that only has 12 rows that is continuosly edited throught out the day. What I need to do is log all changes made to the 12 rows throught out the day. I have built two queries (a without match and an append query) which compair the source table with the log table where I store the differences. This works fine but I have to manually trigger the query. I would like to run the query about every 3-4 minutes. Is this possible or is there a better way?
I'm using Access 2003 to input patient records. I did not set up the database and have limited knowlege of the workings of Access.
My problem:
Normally to repeat a field from the previous record I would use the c>' keys in a blank field and it would be filled with the info that I typed on the preivious record.
However all of a sudden it does not repeat the privious field but one from several years ago.
I read a lot for work and the material is from many different disciplines. To keep track of all this information, I set up a simple db to keep track of all my references and have fields containing various bits of information for each record. In the beginning, I assigned one keyword to each reference as a means of retrieving articles on related subjects. Over time it has grown to three keywords per record although some of the keyword fields are null. All keywords are in a single, separate table and I add a keyword to a record from a pick-list. When I increased the number of keyword fields to three in tblCatalog, I just added more links to tblKeyword. Now, I am having a tough time trying to query tblCatalog. Obviously, my basic db organization is not right so I am looking for suggestions on how to straighten out this mess. Here is what I would like to do:
* During data entry, select form one to three keywords for each record * During data retrieval, concatenate all the keywords (one, two or three) and list the resulting text in a single control on a form.
This seems like it ought to be easy but not today. There must be something fundamental that I do not understand.
I need to sort out the repeat customer, e.g. I have a list of customer's name, like Nike, Emerson, Alcan, etc... and if they sign another contract with my company again this year, I will name it like Nike 05, Emerson 05, etc...
So how can I get the result of how many customers have signed the 2nd contract with us. I have no clue now... :confused:
I have an Access Form called Database_Form, with a text box called Text22, and a button called Command42.
I also have a table, and query, as following:
Table 1, as in the below example:
Row_Number as Column header, and values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as rows.
Column1 as Column header, and values 0026007101, 0026007102, 0026007103, 0026007104, 0026007105, as rows.
Query 2, which has the criteria [Forms]![Database_Form]![Text22] for Row_Number Field.
Basically, i want that each time when i press the button Command42 and having the text box filled with value 1 (for row number 1), to repeat this step, but taking the next row_number and so on, until it finishes the last row.
The Query 2, should sequentially select the row number given in the text box, based on a VBA Code or something.
I developed a sales database that contains around twenty forms, (in addition to tables, queries, reports and 2 modules). In these forms, I'm setting recordsets, select statements and filters. We recently hired a person to set up a Virtual Private Network. After spending a couple of thousands on a server and countless hours reprogramming the database to have multiple users access the database out in the field, (via Verizon broadband network card), we were unsuccessful to use the database since it was taking too long to download the data or perform any calculations. The database is split. The users have a front end.
The person setting the VPN has suggested that I get rid of all the queries that I have in the forms (which is impossible), or use Visual Basic for the front end instead of Access with VBA.
When I set up the recordsets I use the following setting: rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient rs.CursorType = adOpenDynamic rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
I don't know what to do. This program is very complicated and I don't want to have to reprogram the whole thing with Visual Basic, and I don't know how the front end is going to work if I eliminate all the queries, select statements and filtering.
Any ideas, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
I need a button on a form to not only add a new record but also run a query. I can't see how to do this using a macro and my coding experience is limited. How can I get this button to do both of these actions?
I think that I should add that the add record action must happed first. However, I have noticed that this automatically increments the record number in the navigation section to the next number and blanks the firelds in the form (which is data entry mode). As the query relies on information given in the fields on the form, i don't want the field to be blanked. I'd like the the for to stay on the same record until the query has finished. Once this has happened, I'd like the form to reset itself so that it looks as if it's just been opened and the first record is the new record (just as if you'd opened a form in data entry mode).
Sorry, complex I know. :( :confused: I'm sure there's some one out there how's got the answer though. :cool:
Hi, all... welcome back to the new Access World Forums... glad we're still operational, even if some data was lost. It's the minds, anyway, not the data...
I have a query that pulls from 3 transaction tables.
tblTransactions - lists purchaser, amt tendered, other details tblPurchased_Items - lists products and services paid for tblTherapy_Treatments - lists treatments paid for
(Note: these are not separate lists of available items. They're two subforms' tables, one that deals with insurance and one that doesn't.)
I can pull this data fine, but in a case where someone had 1 treatment, but purchased 2 products, the query lists the treatment twice. I do have unique IDs for each table's items, but am not sure how to "list" each transaction once, but each thing paid for once, also.
For example: Joe Blow comes in and has physical therapy and buys 2 books.
My query will show (bogus fields for illustration purposes): TransactionID Name TherapyID TherapyCost ProductID ProductCost 33 Joe Blow 10 180.00 15 12.00 33 Joe Blow 10 180.00 17 19.00
So, if I total TherapyCost it really gives me twice the correct amount.
Can someone point me to a solution? Pardon my rank ignorance, yet again.
Phone No......Bill Date.......Amount _____________________________ 222000........12-02-07.......5689/- Null value.....12-04-07.......2356/- 223223........12-03-07........568/- Null value.....12-05-07.......1256/- 224224........12-01-07.........568/- 225225........12-07-07.........125/- Now my requirement is like this:- ''if any field contains null value then repeat the previous value otherwise keep the original value''. Could anyone solve this problem either by query or macro for access 2003?
In my database i need two process in the database one is SOD(Start of Day) and the 2nd one is EOD (End Of Day). The purpose of these process to run multiple hidden queries in back-end. In both processes there are several queries to run. How i can built this but this is necessary for database. another thing these process execute only once a day. after login i want to run a form that will check that SOD is performed or not if not then SOD (Run SOD) Screen will appear if SOD not perform yet then system ask for SOD Process to run otherwise disable my dashboard items. and 2ndly if EOD not performed last day then system will run normally and not ask for SOD process.
I have a continuous form based on a query. I''ve added a combo box unbound, and the problem is that any data I enter in any cb are repeated in every record. Any ideas how to avoid that?
I need to design a simple clinical database that will allow me to collect and display recurring data. Example. Every year a patient comes into clinic for follow-up. They complete a fixed data set questionnaire, their vital statistics are recorded and any new clinical results recorded. I have created all the tables/Forms but i don't know how to automatically add a new event that repeats the same data. So far i have 5 excessive years worth of follow-up data. Sadly, I have had to make massive tables by copying the identical data with either a 1,2,3,,, to signify a different year.
I have a form (based on ArtistSong) and a subform tied to the ArtistSongID. This subform is a set of 11 variable attributes of that Artist & Song combination. Also, there can be multiple records in that subform, all associated with the Artist & Song.The user would like, when he makes an initial entry of 11 attributes, to go ahead and repeat that particular combination in the next New Record.
I have a query which generates a full list of times and appointments for a given day from two separate dates using a right join and enters a "-" in the field for unallocated time slots using an ISNULL function.
I want to refine the query further so that if a single task/appointment is block-booked in multiple adjacent time slots, I only want to return the start time of the first slot, the end time of the last slot and display the task name once.
The intention is that this will be used to create a daily timetable list in an Access (2000) report with the date being specified in a Combo box in a form in which it will be embedded - though I'm not concerned about the form/report design at the moment, only how to do the query.
I've tried several variations of SELECT DISTINCT and using nested queries to no avail.
Any way to repeat the Report Header on every page?
I had my header in the Page Header so that it would repeat on every page, but it did not have the CanShrink option so I put it in the Report Header so it shrinks when I want it to, but now it doesn't repeat. I was hoping there was some kind of code I could implement that would let me repeat the Report Header on every page.
Or is there a way that I could get the CanShrink property in the Page Header?
Dear All, I prepared times ago a database that contains important data that will be frequently updated. Since yesterday I cannot load the database anymore. I get a pop-up with following statement: Quote The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time Unquote If I click ok, the loading process will be aborted. I'm the only user of this database, neither the database nor the directory containing the database is sharable. It is located on the harddisk of my computer which nobody from outside can access. What can I do to recover the access to my database?
I use MS Office 2003 but tried to open the database also on MS Office 2000 with the same result. The Help function of MS-Access does not really help. Who knows how to solve the probleem???? With regards Siegfried
I have this update query that does not quite work. I have attached a picture of the design view. What I need to do is process each line and update the processed field (yes no) to minus one to then exclude that record. Unfortunately when this query runs, it sets the processed field after matching all records.
I have a process that takes a few minutes to finish. I would like a message box to appear and stay up for the entire process. I have a message box that tells the user it may take a few minutes to complete and one that tells them when its complete.
I have 4 csv files, that need to be imported into Access.
1. I'm building 4 linked tables so users can update the table as needed. Then run queries based on these tables to produce report. But maybe there's a better way? the file name and location might be dymatic, so anything like 'getopenfilename' would be easier instead of linked tables?
2. These data need to be clean up first to become a 'database table'. (Delete first 2 rows, delete some columns, remove duplicates etc.) I know how to do them in VBA Excel, but never used Macro in Access before.
I am new to Microsoft access and I am currently exported an advanced revelation database in CSV format to access now because advanced revelation is a multivalue pick database I needed to create a the key for the multivalue fields which I have separated the data which is NI.
Now all the data is separated in order but the NI field only shows once then its blank going down till the next NI which is the next record this is due to to the multivalue fields data that has been separated.
How can I get access to copy the NI number down into the blanks slots till it reaches the next slot and then copy that one and so on in a loop once this is done I can use this as a key field and separate the data further..
