Two Tables With No Primary Key But A Common Field

Jun 15, 2006

Hi guys,

I am having problem with a query.

I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input.
As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows

In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123.
In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123

I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table
The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:

Wire Table:

ID Group
123 A
123 B
123 C

Input Table
ID Description
123 Analog


My wanted result would be

Group Description
A Analog
B Analog
C Analog


I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:

Group Description
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
...

Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????

Thanks in advance. Your Help is much appreciated

Displaying Data From Two Databases That Have A Common Field

Mar 30, 2005

I'm a complete novice when it comes to dynamic data so forgive my ignorance.
My database contains details of projects in progress. A user can click a link in a list and
display a summary of that project (okay so far - I've done that bit) - in the database though there
are two tables the second one lists project events/comments (title, date, job number and description) - when something interesting
happens during a project we add to the 2nd database a summary of what happened (we made 2nd db because the list
of things happening could be one entry or 50 entries) - the tables are links by the job number.
On the web site I would like that when a user clicks the link to display the info about a project it all also pulls info from
the second db but for the project with the same number.

I've hard coded a similar thing before "select * from tblProducts where category like 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes'" but in
this case instead of hard typing 'Off Road and Dirt Bikes' I'd like it to automatically insert the job number of the project
being looked at from the first database.

I don't think I've explained this as well as I could've - but if anyone could help I will be really grateful.

Forms :: Show Records With One Common Field Value

May 23, 2013

I'm a beginner trying to build a simple database for work. I'm trying to track the performance of bonds from month to month, in this case January-April. Each bond has a serial number called Serial_ID, but we wanted to create a record for each month we own the bond, so we created a primary key combining Serial_ID and start date called Serial_Start_Date. So if we own one bond, its January record would have a primary key of "4553123A 2013-01-01" and February would be "4553123A 2013-02-01". I created a form that allows a user to select one individual month's bond and display that month's return. However, I'm struggling to find a way to create a form that allows me to just select the Serial_ID and display the four month's records. Right now there is only one table in the database.

Assign Incrementing Number Based On Common Field

Apr 16, 2013

My access database is used to process vehicle trips. Each shift, a vehicle is assigned a docket number (paper based), and on this docket the driver fills out each trip he/she makes. In a shift (thus on a docket) there may be 5 - 15 trips. I want to create an incrementing number for each trip in a new field - can be created as they are processed or after the fact by looping through the resultant data - whatever is easier.

So in simple terms, return all trips for each docket number then number each trip.

Reports :: Open Multiple Reports With A Common Field

Mar 30, 2014

I have four forms named [Information Form], [Evidence Form], [Subject Form], and [Vehicle Form]. The Final Form is a Tabbed Form named [New Incident]. The tabbed form has four tabs, with each tab displaying one of the forms above. I also have a Print Command Button named [Print All] underneath the tabbed portion of the [New Incident] form.

Also, All of the four forms are set to data entry - yes, so that on open they will be clean and read for new record entry. I need the [Print All] button to do, just that, print everything that has or has not just been entered into the four forms, even if some are printed blank because they were not necessary for this particular report. One thin of note is that each form on the tab has a field for the "Incident Number" which will be the same for all four forms.

Common Reg. Exp. For Validation Rules

Oct 12, 2004

Hey there,

Is there a listing anywhere online for common regular expressions for validations rules? In other words, is there something that shows how to construct validation rules for things like phone numbers, addresses, postal/zip codes, serial numbers, math equations, etc. Two in particular that I'm looking for are phone numbers and postal/zip codes. Every time I try to wrap my head around the formula for a phone number (with area codes, an optional 1 in the begining, making sure no leading zeroes, making brackets around area codes optional, etc.) I only get a headache :mad: . I'll get it eventually, but a quick reference in the mean time and for future use would be very helpful.


Thanks so much,

Gibby :)

Queries :: Find Field Name Not Field Value?

Mar 11, 2014

I'm trying to convince Access to find a value and then convert said value into the name of the field it came from.

Below is my current code:

Code:
LowestMark:
Minimum([AvgOfOpening1],[AvgOfConfidentiality1],[AvgOfEmail1],[AvgOfTenureStatement1],[AvgOfOwnership1],[AvgOfClearExplanation],[AvgOfProbing1],[AvgOfUseofTools1],[AvgOfResolveBeforeS2S1],[AvgOfBridgeSolutions],[AvgOfSummarizeWrapUp1],[AvgOfOfferFurtherAssistance1],[AvgOfOneFaceOneVoice1],[AvgOfAppreciateBrandCox1],[AvgOfInteractwithCustomer1])

(Minimum is from a module that finds the lowest value in the list.)

I need my query to tell me which field gives that value.

Example:

Agent Name AvgOfEmail1
instead of:
Agent Name 41.7%

how to make this work?

Would You Make Common Variables Public?

Oct 9, 2007

It just occurred to me that I use certain variables in several of my routines. Maybe you've done the same... something like:

Dim db as DAO.Database
Dim rst as DAO.recordset
Dim qdf as DAO.QueryDef

Now, if it's re-used in many routines, wouldn't it make more sense to make it a public variable, and set them to whatever you need it for a certain routine? Would it be more efficient than having to re-initializing and discarding it for every routine that used it? What problem would one expect from making them public?

Also, since it's very common to set db = CurrentDb, would it also make sense to set it publicly, and for cases where you aren't using CurrentDb, use a private variable just for that one?

Find Lowest Value In ID Field?

Feb 2, 2008

I'm using a filter on the form load of one of my forms that potentially would have 3000 records. The idea is to speed the process up a little.

I'm using:

If IsNull(Forms!frmProjectMain!ProjectID) = False Then
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
end if
Me.FilterOn = True

Which works fine. However, I'd rather it was the ID with the lowest numeric value that was displayed and filtered rather than the last record chosen. i.e. 1 instead of a random number.

Does anyone know how i'd go about writing code that would tell access to go to the lowest ID to filter?

thanks for any help I receive here

Common Data In Two Tables Of Different Size, How Do I Append From One To The Other..?

Jul 23, 2006

Hello,

Firstly I would like to state that i have very little knowledge of Access databases (my job is not computer related) but I am trying my best to get a few issues sorted...
So here it goes: I have 2 tables, one large table with about 3-4000 rows(horizontal lines), and a smaller table with only about 1000 rows.

The rows in the big table contain Products (name, dates, adresses, phone numbers etc) and every product has a 'Codename' in a column-line (vertical)
of the big table. (there are about 3000-4000 products)
In the small table there exists a similar column-line (vertical) that contains 'Codenames' of the Products listed in the big table, but there are only ~ 1000 'Codenames' not the full 4000 ! The reason for this is that in the small table there exists another column-line(vertical) that for every code listed (in the small table) contains a certain specific "description".

My task is to get all the 1000 "descriptions" from the small table inserted into the Big table accordingly to their proper 'Codename'. This means createing a new column in the big table and: if the codename exists in small-table insert the description in the new column-cell, if the codename doesnt exist in small-table leave new-cell empty...

How do i do this ? :) Im guessing some coding is envolved.. and i have no clue whatsoever....
Thank you,
George P.

Creating A Database For Common Error Messages

Aug 23, 2006

Hello to all. This is my first post on this forum. I'm currently working on a database for my company and would like to get some more guidance from you all. I work at a helpdesk. I'm trying to create a database that allows me to search for common error messages. My co-workers and I would be inputting the messages. I would like to be able to set up a query to search for these messages for future troubleshooting. I’m just looking for a start on what the tables and fields should be and how we can input the messages. All help is greatly appreciated.
