I am looking into a database that has become very large (20,000+ entries) and access only allows me to look at the first 10,000. I am sure there is an easy way to check this out, but I am new to access, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
View RepliesI have a table in access which is updated weekly; I need to create two tables from this updated table.
1st table will consist of all the new entries for the current week
2nd table will consist of all the entries from the previous week - an amalgamation of all the entries which are not from the "current week" (table) For example; the table below shows the two entries from last week.
ID
Name
1
Adam

hello,
I have a Database table that was pretty big, there is a little over 18k entries, so many that the form I was using won't display them all, so I had to split it into several tables, and made forms for each, now the database users want to make a mailing list out of all these different tables, they want to be able to display the entries from sertain fields with checkboxes and not others, but I can't figure out how to make a query and/or report that will look into all the different tables and pull information from all of them to make into one.
In case that wasn't clear, basicaly I have:
DB A-H
DB I-M
DB N-S
DB T-Z
and I want to make a mailing list that will look into all the tables and print only those which have the "member" field check box marked.
is there any way I can do this? do I sound stupid for not being able to figure this out? I've tried google but can't get any information that helps me, maybe I'm typing the wrong thing.
if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated
I have a small access db in a network which has started to crap out far too often lately. The main table records job entries and inserts a date stamp. Every now and then, an entry has a ridicuous ID (auto inc field) and/or a bad date stamp and i can't delete the record (instead i have to output everything to ecel as best i can, reimport it to a table and reset al the fields..)
i don't know what the problem is but i'm wondering if access writest to a log file somewhere (that might help) or if there is a way to make it do this?
cheers

Hi everybody
I have an assesment and need to create a database, I'm just starting with access and I need some little help if anyone has time.
I'm doing the database for an interim managment company and i have problem with the experience category. Basically because every candidate has got at least 3 or 4 different experiences, I don't know how to design the table. All I know is that I probably will have to create a separate table for this.
Thanks to anyone who will help me.

Hello, I need help. I have two tables.
horse_entries
ent_HorseName (PK)
ent_entries
horse_information
inf_HorseName (PK)
inf_Ground
inf_Notes
It is a many-to-many relationship. When I open a table and enter a record there is a small + sign that allows me to open up the rows from the other table to enter directly into it. Can this be turned off? Also I can enter more than one record through this way. I only want one entry in inf_Ground, inf_Notes and inf_Entries for each HorseName. How would I do this? As you can tell I am completely new to Access and trying to learn. Thanks :)
Hi,
I am trying to set up a query which will filter out the 10 most recent additions by date.
My table contains a 'Title' field and a 'Date Added' field. I am trying to get the 10 most recent titles up in a query so I can then create a report based on this.
So far I have managed to single out the most recent date simply by using the MAX function but am a bit lost from there on..:(
Say I have table called "project" that hold info like project name, project date, # of project, etc.
And I have a table "employee" that hold info like name, salary, # of employee, etc.
Project and employee are linked together ( many to many ) on a junction table. Basically "# of project" and "# of employee" are connected in a junction table.
As such it is easy to add or remove people off a project.
However many people are present in nearly all projects. As such I'd like to make it so that each time a new project is created, it assign those people to the project by default.
Is there a way to do this ?
hello,
Currently i have a database that holds information about computers. Each computer has a Service tag and is associated to a person. I need to be able to prevent duplicate service tags from being entered. I am using indexing and don't allow duplicates from the table design view. But, if a duplicate service tag is indeed entered, i want to inform the user who that service tag currently belongs too without having to search through the DB manually. I need then to give the user the option to delete the duplicated record they just entered or change the service tag that they just entered. Thanks.

I have been working on a Query to sort through a list of companies. I am trying to query the company name to include ALL entries that have the include key(from another table) anywhere in their company name... It is supposed to exclude all entries with ONLY the exclude key(from another table)... If it has the exclude key AND the include key or neither key then the entry should be included... Then it is supposed to use all of the entries added from the previous sorts and include ONLY the entries where the zipcode matches one from a ZIPCode list.
Below I have listed the tables with their variables and my attempt on the query:
Include Table (tblinc)
ID
Inckey
Exclude Table (tblex)
ID
exkey
List Table (list)
ID
Company
Address
City
State
ZIPCode
…
ZIPCode Table (ZIPCode)
ID
ZIPCode
Query withZips <--- my attempt... doesnt work 100% ALOT OF REPETITIVE ENTRIES
SELECT DISTINCT tblinc.inckey, tblex.exkey, ZIPCode.ZIPCode, *
FROM ((list LEFT JOIN tblinc ON list.company Like "* " & tblinc.inckey & " *") LEFT JOIN tblex ON list.company Like "* " & tblex.exkey & " *") INNER JOIN ZIPCode ON list.ZipCode Like "*" & ZIPCode.ZIPCode & "*"
ORDER BY inckey DESC , exkey;
This has become urgent... If you can help, please respond asap...

Hi,
I currently have a report that is driven by a combobox. I was wondering if there's a simple way to create a report for each of the entries in the combobox through a "All" combobox entry. (i.e. instead of selecting each entry, one by one)
Any help would be much appreciated.
hi,
i'm building a MS access DataBase for my customer. in between i'm always testing if it works fine (VB code, DB connections, etc.). But at the end, i would like to have DB empty of those test entries.
what is the best and savest way to delete these entries (so non of the traces are left behind)?
thank you.
So I have 2 tables, the first is for "open" orders (where entries get edited changed and deleted), and the Second is for "finished" orders (where once an order is completed it should move from the open orders table to the finshed one where it will no change and will remain for futre reference)
I need help with the transfering part of this problem. I would ideally like to make a form that allows you to pull up the info for the open order then edit it to finally add the finished order to the other table. Im not sure where to start on this one.
Hi,
On our database, we have a form that has 2 calendars. A start date and an End Date. The users fill in the name, and a couple other fields. Then select the start date, and end dates.
When they hit submit, the form enters into the table this info for each date in-between the start and end dates. For example if the users enters they will be taking vacation, then they enter 8/1 as a start and 8/10 as a end date. It will make an entry for each day. This works pretty well for us.
But I would like to improve it if possible.
Let say, a user a month ago made an entry that they would be work 8/23 at home. So in the database it has 8/23 at home.
Well, this week they decide they are going to take a vacation 8/21-8/25. So they make the new entry with start date 8/21 and end date 8/25. The form enters all the info just fine.
But if someone runs a report they see 8/23 at home, and also 8/21, 8/22, 8/23 ect on vacation. So gets a little confusing to where they actually are
So I was wondering if there is a way, for the database to prompt the person making the entry, that there is already an entry for 8/23 and ask if they want to delete it or save it? Then continue on creating the entries for the rest (8/24 and 8/25 in this example?).
Has anyone seen something like this? I was going to search, but not really sure what to search for on the forum.
Thanks
I have following SQL statement:
SELECT TOP 10 tblPortCallList.Port, tblPortCallList.Arr_Date, tblPortCallList.Dep_Date, tblPortCallList.Security_Level_Ship, tblPortCallList.Security_Level_Port, *
FROM tblPortCallList
ORDER BY tblPortCallList.Arr_Date DESC , tblPortCallList.Dep_Date DESC;
As shown, it picks the top 10 entries in a table.
Is there a statement, which can choose specific entries in a table, in stead of the top 10? E.g. entry number 2 in a table? I have three text boxes, which need to show the previous port of call, arrival date and departure date. The table in question is sorted after arrival date and then departure date.
Thanks.
How do I set my table to sort all entries by time? I have Auto Date formatted for a date field but I have a time field that needs to be sorted in ASCENDING order so that any entries are sorted by time.
This is a phone log file that calls need to be returned in the order received according to our phone system.
Thanks!
I'm new to Access and databases so my question might seem dumb, but I need some help figuring something out. Well, I have this database where I'm storing information from different charities. So I created a table with their name, address, phone, contact person, and many othe things. Now I need to create a field with the services that they offer. Each charity could be able to offer more than one type of service. So for the services field, I cannot create a drop down list because that only allows me to choose one service. So what would be the best way to allow the user select more than one kind of service offered from a list and then be able to search that with a query? I have a list with over 50 different possible offered services and each charity usually offers 2 or 3 different services.Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there I am new to Access and I am currently modifying an existing DB. Currently this DB has a main table which holds a bunch of Patient info such as:
Name
Age
AssignedStaff
Condition
etc....
The assigned staff field is populated from another table (Staff), which holds all the staff members working at the institution. However a couple of these individuals have left and they no longer want their name to show up on the form when inserting a new record. However we do want there name to still be in the DB for historical reporting purposes......My intital thought was to create another field in the Staff table that would hold either a "Active" or "Inactive" entry. Then just have a simple If statement to see if the staff member is active or inactive. Does anyone see any problems with this solution or propose a more efficient method.
Thanks
I've set up a booking system and am looking to stop the system recording double bookings.
I've 3 fields, RoomID, Date and Time that need to be searched, however I can't just simply set the properties to No Duplicates (as this would mean a booking cannot be made on the same day at 9:00 and 12:00 for example).
How can I do this?
Hi again, thanks to all for the help given so far.
Is there anyway (other than making that field a primary key) to prevent the same value being entered into a different record?
E.g.
If under 'Name' Radion has already been written, I want an error message coming up saying there is already a record with radion.
Hi, we have a database for keeping record of our games (unreal tournament games).... Its just a simple database and we enter our results based on the following fields: -
Opponent:
Game Type:
Players:
Maps:
Date:
Result:
the file has started to get quite big and wondered if it would be possible to automatically move entries say that were older than a month old to a new table, or archive table. Im not a big access genious so i hope i have explained enough for you to understand what im trying to do here.
Thank you for your time, much appreciated.
