How many tables would I need for the following:
Order#
customer
date/time order received
date/time order due
courier (the order might be shipped via two or more different couriers)
dept (the order might be sent to three different depts.)
the order will be for making photocopies of different sizes
and different width
If I need to provide more information, let me know.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.
Firstly, I want to admit that my knowledge about data base construction is fairly basic.
I am trying to build a data base for humanitarian projects that do not at all resemple of the usual examples including customers, invoices, suppliers and what have you. My problem in constructing the DB is that most of the projects will address more than one subject and also include more than one target group and even operate in more than one country.
In my first attempt I filled the relevant fields (subjects, target groups and country) with more than one value using a form with multi select lists. The problem was that it was very difficult to query these multi-value fields and kind people in this forum strongly advised my to reconstruct the DB avoiding such fields.
What I need is to be able to view/print various selections based on precise criteria that include a region (or country), a subject and a target group in all kind of combinations.
The problem is to decide on what tables to establish and their interrelation. I guess that when entering a project record (using a form) I will have to store somewhere what subjects (could be more than five) and target groups the project include. It is, of course, not a problem to establish special tables or value lists for the subjects and target groups and countries, but where/how do I store the basic project information for a project and the multi-values that are related to the individual project?
I hope that this is not too confusing and I would appreciate any suggestion for a simple table structure and the interrelation between the tables.
Many thanks in advance.

I am trying to add a new dimension to my database and have a table for 'Committees'. There are several diferent committees overseeing different tasks, each commitee will have a CommitteeID, description, Date formed, Date disbanded and field called 'office'. The idea was that the DB user could open a form and amend or add a new 'committee' electing a chairman(Office) secretary, Vice Chairman etc. The members elected to the committee can only be members of the club i.e they already have a membership number, and their data is stored in the tblMembers. I tried using a sub form of committee members but cannot get it working I keep getting problems with duplicates etc. Members are 'autonumber' as is committee ID bearing in mind you can have 1 member on several committees, and each member can take a different office after a period of time etc. Im getting confused now which is the best way to set up the tables and indeed how many tables I really need to store committee, committee members etc. Ideally I would like a form that you can use record selectors for to find a committee and have a page (tab) to enter members relating to the committee displayed on the first page. I know this is about forms but I need to work the tables out first.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am new to this post. I am a physician with interest in database designing. I have been trying to design a database for my clinic for few months but am unable to make one. I have been searching/ reading alot of info and came across this thread. Maybe someone can help me.
Actually, I want to make a database regarding ultrsound scan examinations of patients.
I have five tables.
1. Patients. (patinetid*, patientname, age, sex, address, contact no)
2. Physicians. (physicianid*, physicianname, speciality, address, contact no)
3. Scans. (Scanid*, scanname, charges)
4. Scan orders.(scanorderid*, patientid*, physicianid, scanordernumber, scandiscount, totalcharges)
5. Scanorder details.(scanorderdetailid*, scanorderid, scanid, charges, discount)
I want to have primary key for scanordernumber which wil be the patient number and should this be placed in patient table??
All the ids have been linked with one to many reltionships. Actually I am unable to set proper relationship.
So when the patient arrives he is registered with a unique number, a physian name with date added and scan ordered is entered. Sum calculated. I have done the later part with the form all designed but the relationships and primary key are all messed up.
I can post an image of relationships or blank database.
Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
In a simple Access 2003 database that has two table. A contacts table and a Report table.
I would like to be able to prevent the deletion of any contact that is still being used in the Reports table. The problem is that they are in a backend of a linked database. So the enforce referential integrity doesn't work. Plus I don't think I would like it anyway as it seems kind of dangerous to the reports table.
Is this possible to do what I need through the use of form coding?
The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?
I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.
Hi, looking for help big time!! I am a novice at using MS Access and struggling like hell. I have been set a project at University that requires me to import data from Excel, sort the data (i.e the data imported will be for a whole year and I am only interested in looking at single months), use calculations on the data imported and display this graphically. Is this possible with Access?? Any help will be gladly received as Im desperate.:(
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?
Sorry, i dont know where should i post this( under which category)
so i just post it here,
I want to create a login page using access,
and then i wanted to record down the name of the user and the time and date(login and log out) when he/she is using the database.
And then record it down in a table.
Any ideas fellow forumers :)
Hi,
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
Many thanks
Jamie
So far I haven’t got help on my DB.
I am attaching my DB.
The DB has two tables: DiaryTable & RBCaseTable
I want to resolve two issues on this DB
First issue: The DyNo field will start from No.1 on new year (DMax function). Since there will be duplicate records with the same DyNo for every year, I want to filter the records year-wise. For the current year, I should be able to do data entry, edit, search, print etc. For the previous year’s records, no data entry should be allowed and only search and print to be allowed.
Second issue: Two fields in both the tables are same i.e. DyNo and Remarks. I want this to be linked. What I want to do is that after I open ‘frmRBCaseAdd’ when I type the DyNo, the form should show the ‘Remarks’ field of DiaryTable so that I could update/edit.
I know nothing about VBA coding etc. Whatever codes I put in this DB was obtained from this forum and I simply made changes to suit my requirements. However, I failed to get help on these two issues. I shall be grateful if you could kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
I need help please.
1. I have a [CmdBtn] to do some calculation on the first day of every month.(The Btn and calculation code are ready and working).
2. On clicking, the [CmdBtn] will look for [FieldTotal] entry. If no entry, it will execute.(This code is also fine and working).
3. While executing the command, it will populate the [FieldTotal] automatically so that second clicking of [CmdBtn] will take no action and the populated field will tell the user that calculation is already done.(Code for auto-populating is also fine and working)
4. On the last day of the month, the [FieldTotal] entry will be deleted.(Here also the code works fine.).
I have two tables Table1 & Table2. I have the form for Table1. The [FieldTotal] is in Table2. I inserted a TextBox in form and tried to link it to Table2.FieldTotal throu Data-ControlSource, but it is not working. When I open the form ‘#Name?’ appears in the [FieldTotal]. I tried changing the field property to Text and then Number. In both options, I get the same ‘#Name?’.
Interestingly, when I leave the text box as it is without linking it to Table2, the [FieldTotal] in my form appears blank. Here I am able to populate the [FieldTotal]. But when I exit and reopen the form, the text box is again blank.
Please guide me (1) in linking the Table2.[FieldTotal] to my text box in form (which is based on Table1) or (2) how to keep the text box entry permanent till the end of the month.

Ok i have a database works fine just run into a little porblem..
In My VBA Coding i have made a SQL quiery the code is..
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (ID) " & _
" VALUES (" & Me.ID & ")", dbFailOnError
'---------------------- Below Is The Code That -----------------------

DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "INSERT INTO availability (Name) " & _

"INSERT INTO availability ('ID','Name'), VALUES ('Me.ID','Me.Name')
Something along Those Lines..

I have searched the archives for hours but no luck.
I came across a sample db a while back that had a text field and two buttons on a form.
One button let you browse for the file name and it stored the result in the text box. The other button opened the result stored in the text box.
Has anyone a copy of this sample db or something similar.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a quick question that i need to get some help with.
In a form, there is two comboboxes and a textbox. The textbox is disabled and locked because nobody is allowed to enter data to it. It contains the value which is from the result of choosing the two comboboxes.
example;
in table "Project"
Name Subject Score
michael IPA32 80
.
.
CB=combo box
from the dropdown, CB1 = "michael", CB2 = "IPA32". Then 80 will appear in textbox. However, there is some cases where the score doesn't exist or null (not found in the table). Is there a way to check on the spot if the textbox is empty or not as soon as CB1 and CB2 have been selected. At the moment, i use the form_beforeupdate to check the textbox. If it is, cancel is true. the whole form disappears which i don't want it to happen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
