Most of the customers are new - is there a way to populate Customer Name Table with a new entry each time a new customer is input into the Sales Tale
(Without having to add the custome to Customer Name Table - then going to Sales Order)
OR
Failing that - is there a way to use a list box that points to Customer Name Table (and if it doesn't find the one you want, will allow you toadd a new record) In the SAME form as you use to add to Sales Table.
So:
Date (textbox linking to form.Sales) Customer Name (List Box linking to form.CustomerName + adding the info to form.Sale)
I am trying to consolidate a few tables I made to make them less numerous and hopefully easier to handle. At one point I received an error message that said I had exceeded the maximum number of indexes in a table (32) and thus it could not be saved. When I scroll through my table in design mode every box that has "Indexed" as an option is marked at "no". Many boxes do not have that option and thus I am not sure if those are automatically indexed(?), not indexed(?) or that indexing is not relevant for those values(?). I definitely do not have any, let alone 32+ boxes, that have "indexed" checked to "yes" though. They are all "no".
How do I figure out which columns in my table are indexed otherwise so that I can reduce those numbers and get more columns on my tables (by the way, I am no where near the limit of 255 columns on any of my tables)
I have a DB set up with a debtors table (Customers) and a Customer Contacts table, I was thinking of combining these two tables into one.Most of the Debtors are companies, but a few are actual people. With the current setup, i need to have both a debtor and a customer in two different tables, but with exactly the same data.

a few rules
job1 can be
booked by person 1
have passenger as person 1
job 1 can be
booked by person 1
have passenger as person 2
also the booker and/or passenger may be unknown.. which is why i want to create an unknown person in the person table.. with id 1 for example.. and anytime the booker or passenger isnt known my user can just type in id 1

I am using access 2010 and have the following question?
I have 2 tables, 1 called UKFile and the other Customers with the following fields
[UKFILE] THIS IS WHERE ADDRESS DETAILS ARE STORED
POSTCODEID
POSTCODE
STREET
TOWN
[CUSTOMERS]
CUSTOMERNAME
POSTCODE
STREET
TOWN
CONTACTNAME
TELEPHONE
How do I link these so that when I enter the customers postcode it grabs the data from the UKFile table.
Should I change structure at this early stage,
I am trying to take a table that looks like this:
Customer Name
Fruit
Customer A
Apples
Customer A
Bananas
Customer B
Pears
Customer B
Apples
Customer C
Pears
And create a table that looks like this:
Customer Name
Apples
Bananas
Pears
Customer A
Apples
Bananas
Customer B
Apples
Pears
Customer C
Pears
I think this is relatively simple but don't know the syntax to create this table.
Hello
Sorry to add to the number of 'relationship' posts but a thorough search has failed to turn up anything similar to my problem.
I have a table tblSite
Each geographical site (defined by a PK 'SiteNo') in tblSite can contain multiple occurrences of a large number of types of geographical features (ie multiple 1-many relationships).
Eg each Site can contain
100 trees
10 ponds
5 streams
2 springs and so on.
I could have anything up to 50 or so different types of feature that are related on a 1-many basis to the site, linked by 'SiteNo'
Access prevents any more than 32 indexes per table so in practice that means that you can't have more than 32 relationships with referential integrity enforced on any one table. I thought that I was correct in having a separate table for each feature type and creating 1-many relationships to the central table. The fact that I can't have more than a certain number of relationships suggests that my structure is wrong.
I thought about having one large table with a 'feature type' field plus all the other fields required for each feature type but the info recorded about each feature type is different, leading to a large table with many fields, many of which would be blank. This seems to be un-normalized to me.
So, my question is twofold really.
Have I got my structure right? Is it one of those special cases (we all want to be a special case?) and if so, how do I get round it?
If not, where have I gone wrong?
I thought I was comfortable with my design but coming up against this limit has thrown me a bit and I'm not sure how best to proceed.
regards
Neil
I am trying to link a Progress table into Access. However, the Progress database table has 41 indexes. I have even tried to import and get the same error - Too many indexes - . Is there a way to get around this? Currently I am importing to Excel then linking Excel to Access. The table is time sensitive so a live link is the best. Any ideas? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I open one of my tables or queries and look at the customer Id, the displayed info is a single digit. On my customers table my primary key is the customer Id with auto number with the format like this: "ID"000. This is great however, when you look up the customer id in other tables it only displayes the single digit. I want it to show up like ID001 or ID002. In the customers tables it looks just like that, but if you click in that cell/field it takes away the ID and just shows the 001 or 002. I changed the format in my other tables under customer id to "ID000" but that didn't seem to make a difference. I would like to be able to do a search lets say by customer ID in one of my products table and when I type ID005 or ID012 it takes me to those records. But right now I would have to enter 5 or 12. Datatype in my other tables on field customer ID is set to text. Do I have to do a validation rule? How can I get it to show up the way I want it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a database for farm auditing. The idea is you gather information monthly from the same farms and enter this into the database.So as time pogresses for example, farm 1 will have 6 entries for each field in each table, in 6 months time. But i need to be able to see each entry that was put in each month. I do not want it to just show the most recently modified information, and I want it to show the date f these.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a beginner when it comes to access. The project that I am working on is tracking Travel claims. The claims are submitted ever month for 4 years so I have created 48 tables for each month and tried to link them via the SSN. The member can also submit other claims during this period, ie supplementals (for reimbursements that were missed in the monthly) and Concurrent duty claims (for the member going to additional sites then where they are assign).
I have a
MBR tbl - that holds all the MBR's info (SSN, name, unit, city, state, POC, POC email and Remarks)
(48) Partial tbl - linked by the SSN.
(5) Suppplemental tbl - Linked by the SSN ( I need more of these but I started with 5)
(5) Concurrent tbl - linked by the SSN ( I will need more of these)
These are all one-one relationship.
How can I get this to work. I can upload a blank copy of this database.
Thanks for any help

I have sheet names stored in a text field.
sample data: (assume the field name as SheetName)1 (considered as an index) MySheet (considered as a Name)
How to handle them both in a single statement:vartype(SampleData!SheetName) returns 'Text' as Datatype for all values.
How to consider the numbers as indexes?
I need to create a form that automatically populates Dealer_ID in my Customers table when a user selects Dealership from a dropdown box.
The form is updating all of the user controlled fields in the Customer table as the user inputs the information. I have a separate Dealership table who's Primary Key is Dealer_ID where dealership information (including the dealer name) is stored. A one to many relationship is in place that connects Dealer_ID from the Dealership table to the same field in the Customer table. The user inputting the information will know what the dealership name is but will not know their ID. I need a solution that will allow the user to select a dealership name in the form and auto-populate the Dealer_ID field in the Customer table with the appropriate ID from the Dealership table.
I cannot cause a database to refrain from dropping several table indices during a Compact on Close operation. I am running Access 2010 under Windows xp.I have created a database that merges data in a linked text file with data in a linked database, appending the results in a local table. The database has the Compact on Close option set. The table has 27 indices (because most of the fields either are coded or are potential select or sort fields) and nearly 1 million records.
I run a delete query to clear the contents of the table, I close (and compact) the database, I reopen the database, and I run the append query. The indices in the target table are intact. I close (and compact) the database again; when I reopen the database, indices are missing -- sometimes about 10, other times nearly two dozen!
This table is linked to a larger system, which contains code to run the sequence outlined above. Whether run manually or in code, as stand-alone or as a component, indices are dropped. When I close the database with the table containing no records, the indices are not affected. After appending records, but before closing, the database contains 1.66GB. The drive on which the database resides has 42GB free.As suggested with regard to a number of other unexplainable issues, I have created a new database and imported all objects from the original database. The results persist. The larger system performs accurately without the indices, but the performance against a table this massive is horrible.
In month-end posting - I basically delete all the records from my transaction file. And in doing so - it seems to be resetting the auto number index - which is causing me major problems.
The resetting of the index after deleting all the records is normal.
I am working in VB 2010 - using a 2003 MS Access database.
This is a very simple problem most likely for the masses, but I am new to access. I have employees who enter will enter information about specific tests on electronics components into separate tables by a form. I know my method is poor, but this is how it works. I got assigned this database at my internship this summer because they ran out of thigns for me to do.....I've never even used access before, so as long as it works, they're happy. I have a form which which writes to a first table with 20 fields. I then have separate update queries which take the data in the first table and put it in all the other tables. Trust me, i know this is pretty much the opposite of the whole point of a relational database, but I am and was limited by time, for the size of the database they want, there was no time to learn about normalization etc etc. Sorry this is wordy, but THE QUESTION is......if they run multiple tests wtih the same information for some of the fields I have fields named "Run#, Unit#, Date" etc, even if there is records wtih the same information, hwo do i get it all to show. Right now, it seems to be rewriting over the same records. If they run 3 tests on unit 10 on August 1st, how do i get it so all those show up. I think its somethign wtih in the table, for the primary keys, changing the Index: No, Yes(Duplicates) Yes(No Duplicates) but I could be way off. Thanks, if the question doesnt make sense i'll try to rephrase it, I apologize I'm running on about 45 min of sleep:confused:
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm creating a db for customers and each customer can have many service orders.
In the customer form I have two buttons, one to create a new service order and one to open existing service orders.
Both buttons work as they are supposed to although I am doing this with custid, so both the customer and serviceorder tables have a field called custid and when the button is clicked to show existing service orders it matches both custid's and shows the corresponding records. However it onlt works at the moment with me manually entering the custid in the field in the serviceorder table. When a new service order is created I need the custid to be entered in both tables.
I hope this makes some sense, any help is grately appreciated!!
Hi,
I currently have a "customer" form (which displays client details from a table - name, address etc) I would like to add history comments for each customer.
Does anyone know how i would go about doing this.
I image i could press a button on the current "customer" form that will open a history form which after typing a comment would be displayed on the main "customer" form, with date, time and comment.
I would obviously be able to add lots of comments to each record.
i would be greatful for any kind of help

Currently my design consists of a table for customers and a table for suppliers. At first it seems logical. Or so I thought!
As my design is evloving I have noticed a problem. What if a supplier calls and says "I want to purchase a..." they then also become a customer!
Obvoius I know but do I leave the design (attached) as is or disolve the supplier table and then just add one field called [CustSupp] and have three options to choose from "Customer", "Supplier" or "Both"
I could then base any other forms like the [FrmCustomers] on a query that looks at the [CustSupp] field and has a Like "Customer" criteria
Whst is the best method. Any advice greatly received.
hi all,
first time posting so please excuse the newbness.
i need to create a customer database, which i would like to be able to generate invoices from, nothing fancy or complicated, just name, address phone number etc. with a button to put this detail into a template word .doc file.
i would also like to be able to import all names and addresses at the end of the year to send a christmas card maybe or promotional e-mail.
how difficult is this to do? i kinda remember doing something similar at school years ago but can't remember how i did it.
any help/information would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Hi There,
I have created this query and i want to return the top 5 suppliers per LOB. It is returning something but it is not the top 5. I want to limit only to return the top 5. Pls. help and thanks. See attached file.
Thanks in advance for any help with this situation.
I have a table that contains all my customer information. Name, address, phone etc. The primary key for the table is an account number I assign to each customer. I am trying to make a section on my form where it displays a list of each interaction I have with my customer. A date and an interaction or case number. I made a second table with the same account number as a primary key to link them.
I have a tabbed form, on the first tab is all the information from my first table (name, account number, address phone etc.) and on the second tab I want to display the interactions for only the customer who's account number appears on the first tab of the form.
I tried putting a subform under the second tab, when I scroll through to records on the first tab, the interaction records for that account number do not appear on the second tab subform.
Any idea of how to do this?
Thanks very much,
Siirous
