Say I have a piece of lumber in inventory that's 20 ft. long. I cut it into 2 pieces, one 13 ft. and the other 7 ft. Now I need to remove the 20 ft piece from inventory and replace it with the 2 pieces I just cut. Is there any way to automate this in Access? I'm have trouble visualizing and approach to this problem.
TIA
I've been tasked with modifying an Access97 query. Currently the query has a single contraint on the field titled jobtitle. We are interested in maintaining this constraint but in the event of null values defaulting a new contstraint to field called contacttype. Thus if there are no results returned for positiontitle = 'dtbc' return all rows where contacttype = 'prim'. It would seem an if then is the only option and I'm not sure how to approach this in access.
Thank you,
Josh
:confused:
Currently here is the query with the constraint only on contacttype = 'prim'

Hi, ive been asked to provide a solution, for an electronic spreadsheet be sent out via email then returned by customers, once filled in for all the data to be collected onto one sheet that looks like the attached sheet. the easiset way i can see is to not use a spreadsheet but to use a datbase instead and just put it in the desired format, how easy is it to import mutliple spreasheets into correct fields on a dbtable thanks for any input or ideas

hi..
I have tried to do a search on this but i cant seem to find something similiar. And I did a post of what i wanted to do here:
Click Me (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=74845)
This is my table structure:
http://www.geocities.com/gerald20000/Alpha/table.jpg
** I have keep this structure the simple. In actual of what i want to do, its more section under the 3rd lvl. as in more section under tblNAMe and tblRELATIONSHIP.
-> My structure:
tblQNA
CategoryNAME
CategoryMOOD
CategoryRELATIONSHIP
tblNAME
CategoryMALE
CategoryFEMALE
tblRELATIONSHIP
CategoryNEAR
CategoryFAR
tblMALE (Question related to Name - Male will be here)

So what am i trying to do? People would put in a question and an answer into a box. After that, the person can choose which category does the inputed question belongs to which category(male? female? .. ).This is actually a FAQ search engine.
So ppl will have an option to search for keywords and match questions. There should also be an option weather it should search from tblQNA or tblName or tblGOOD. So it has different level of searching. This is why it has such tree. So after searching, it will display the possible matched question (display question only). then the user can click which question to view the answer (together with the question).
Hope to get some advise. Is this how the best way to implement? OR is there a better method? pls advise and thanks in advance. ill be trying to do the access now. ill post as i goes along.
cheers
Is it possible to convert a database set up in Lotus Approach to an Access Database. If so, how can I do it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there an easy way to import a Lotus Approach DB back end and front end to Access 2010?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build a table structure for this database. Heres some background information about the business:
The business is a service business. We visit the customer's location and run tests on whatever water systems they have. Each customer is unique in that they could have any combination of systems at their site. They can also have more than one of the same type of system. The test results are the data that I need to record and store for future access. Each customer is visited on average once or twice a once a month. So there should not be more than 1-2 entries of data for each system for each customer per month.
For example
customer RUTGERS might have two systems labeled HWS and CHWS.
customer BMSQUIB might have three systems labeled HWS1, HWS2, and CHWS.
What I need to do with this information is go into the records of service visits, and retrieve for example, the last 4 visits of a specific system and prepare that information to be printed in a report along with their contact information.
I have come up with three tables to do this:
Customers Table contains:
Customer ID (pk), contact information data.
Systems Table contains:
System ID (pk), Customer ID, System Name
Service Records Table contains:
Record ID(pk), Date, System ID, Data
My thoughts were to have a table to contain customer information(each customer with a unique ID), a table to contain system information for each customer (each system has a unique ID), and a table to store the results of every service visit for each system(each individual visit has a unique ID)
Please critique this table design. If you think its sufficient, perhaps you could lead me in a direction pertaining to how to retrieve data on the most recent 4 visits (last 4 entries) for a specific SINGLE system from the Service Records table. I would assume that you would need to use a query and then get the data from that and put it into a form.
Edit:I just realised i had accidently writted the title as (to do with importing access data) it should read (to do with importing excel data)This is going to be a trick hard to understand question but I will try my best to explain itI have a database set out in the following wayhttp://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1350/databasetableli1.pngThe way it works is; Let's pretend Access Programmers is a company and working on different forums is a different jobSo on one record it would readJames.90| Access Programmers|Tables Forum| Wed=3= Mon=2Then the record below might readJames.90| Access programmers | Forms Forum| mon=5 tue=6So each record is one unique company,Project and CTR which the person has worked for that week meaning if you only work on one forum you would only write one record out each weekNow the data i am receiving is in an excel file where it's set out in a daily basis Where One Day Date|Name|Company|CTR|etcSo if a person works 5 days a week on 2 companies each day that is 10 records when it should only be 2 recordsSo to sum it up. My database is set out weekly and the excel data is set out dailyMy questionWhat would be the best way to convert this data into the database. Changing the database structure around is not an option and i can't change the format we recieve the excel data in. I can change it once i have the file thorough a converter but i can't change the raw source of the dataWhat would be a way to solve this problem because i am completly stummted and am open to any option of converting or anythingThankyou for your time. Also if you have trouble understanding what i mean Please say so and i will upload a copy of the database and a copy of the excel sheet!
