I am just wondering if theres a way I can create a customise database for my workplace. We are looking at replacing the old record cards that sit on the desk that records each clients visit and the price they paid. We do use MYOB for all our accounting etc but we are wondering if there is a way that we can create a database that enables us to record the date and price paid for each visit for every individual client?
View RepliesI Am working on a Access database that will build a excel spread sheet, that will be uploaded to Ebay via file exchange. I am looking to build a forum that will edit parts of a Html text in a column, such as the size and color.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
I am a doctor with a knoledge of computer greater than most of doctor. Even though i use a company for part of my office managment, i would like to develop a small database as a project, that can save my patient charts and i though that microsft access should work for this (please correct me if i am wrong, and also let me clarify that i have not use access),
This is what i want, when i dictate a patient chart i do it on a word document template, if i take pictures i save them as jpeg in zoombrowser, and other material is safe as pdf in paperport. Would it be possible to develop a database that will combine this on for example a record called Peter smith # 1234, and when i find this patient, it will have folders like chart, photos, bills, etc
Your hlelp will be very greatly appeciated
Thanks

I have a form call "frmemployee" that holds employee's details. I have page tabs with sub forms on and the one I'm now concentrating on now at the moment is a Sub form called "medical Sub form" this holds data regarding the last medical the employee has had on continuous form e.g. MedicalDate ,Doctor , Place
now what I'm trying to do is find last medical date for the employee selected and add +730 days to show next medical date in text box on the footer of the subform
I have a sample with bubble speech show what I'm try to do

A developer where I am contracted to constructs his If statements like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
Instead of like this:
If Day(Now()) <> 1 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_06c_Get_CurMon_Rebates"
End If
All on one line and no end if needed. I didn't even know that would work.
Is this good or bad practice from a coding standpoint? Any Pitfalls?
Thanks

I've got some simple charts to do in Access. They are working fine - except for the Legends.
The problem is that my table (on which the charts are based) is fed by Combo boxes which populate the table with codes, rather than a descriptor.
For example, the combo box on the input form displays two columns
5 | Excellent
4 | Very Good
3 | Average
2 | Not good
1 | Poor
0 | Don't know
..but populates the table only with the numbers 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0.
Consequently, the legend in my graph only displays the numbers - when I would really like the Words.
What's the best way round this?

Hi All,
I'm a relative newbie to Access - I am wondering the best way to solve a problem. I am the admin for a database used to track projects and the quality control process. With this process we must keep up with the review of another database, the pieces of information entered which are erroneous and when the individual responsible corrects the data. To date, the errors have been manually typed into a memo field which is then pushed out to the end user in a report. The errors are very consistent and I want to create functionality that will allow me to select the errors (there are approximately 50 standard errors) from a list or using a button or whatever is wisest. Basically, I would love some best practice opinion here as I am totally stymied at this point.
Any advice for a weary admin?
I work at a small mental health clinic and am trying to accomplish the following.
What I have:I have one table that lists all of the patients, their phone number, address, etc.
In another table, it lists the medications that each patient takes, as well as the strength, dosage, etc.
The two tables have a relationship via the "Patient ID" column in each table.
Most patients have multiple entries in the second table, as most patients take multiple medications.
What I am attempting to accomplish:The main form in my database simply lists all the patients names in datasheet view. I want to be able to click a Patient's name, then go to a form that lists all of that patients medications. I've attached a screenshot that encapsulates precisely what I am looking to accomplish.
Since most patients take multiple medications, I need to be able to list multiple records in a single form, grouped by medication name, just like in the attached image.
I am uncertain as to how to accomplish this. I've tried using subforms but it doesn't list the data at all? Also, it looks like an Access report can create precisely what I need, but I need to have a live form that I can use to update data real-time.
Hello,
I'm creating a simple relational database of all the attorneys our company work with. I'd like to have three tables: "Law Firms" (firm name & other info), "Attorneys" (what firm, personal info, and what practice groups s/he is involved in), and lastly "Practice Areas" (all different practice areas with codes).
Now, my issue is that people are usually involved in multiple practice areas. Thus, I can't just put a code for one practice area in "Attorneys" table, but I can't put multiple codes in either in one field (right?) because it'd mess up the relations.
What I'd like to accomplish is for people to be able to go to our intranet and, using a form (?), select a law firm and a practice group and get a list of attorneys.
Does anyone know of a good way to solve this? It doesn't have to be pretty, since the DB isn't going to be huge (2000-2500 records).
Thank you!
I have been asked to create a access data base (using 2007) on tracking patients medical tests that then alerts you when it is overdue set against a scale:
Physical Test - age 20-39 - every 3 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 40-49 - every 2 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 50+ - every 1 years - Male and Female
PAP Test - 20+ - every 3 years - Female
There is about 10 of these tests like this and then tests specifically for Cancer type patients.
I figured out one way by creating a table with each column being a test but this didn't really work as I need to keep a record of each time they come in and the test is done and then it spits out the next reoccurring test from that date.
I then will need to make a report created from this that alerts on everybody who is overdue to not gotten any of the tests by category.
I then thought okay I will create a table that has the fields as ready something that this is better and to append the records to another form:
Illness - Pulling from tables of Illness
Test - Pulling from table of Tests
AgeGrp - multi-field, referenced from Table of Patients
Gender - Multi-field, pulling from the Table of Patients
Frequency - pulling from table of frequencies with amount of days to calculate
I did this and now I can't figure out anything past this point and how to link all this data up so the right information pops out.
Or is there a better way of going about this.
I have been writing a database for a medical facility. Currently, I have a box to check if a patient in the database is admitted. What I would like to do is create two radio buttons: one to admit and one to discharge.
When the patient is discharged, I want the data in some of the fields on the form(s) to clear, but not all the fields.
I realize the I will need some scripting here.
As an example: the fields for Unit and Room number will clear upon discharge. As well as fields for diagnosis and informed consent signature located on another form within the same table.
If I have a DB with several tables containing thousands of records, and most of those records only ever need say 8 characters, does anyone know if changing the field size from default 255 chars to 8 chars will actually benefits the the DB?
Potential benefits I'm thinking may occur are reduced filesize and maybe some speed?
I'm attempting to normalize an enormous table with order data, but I'm running into some problems. The table currently contains many duplicates, of which also included the actual order information (yikes!), but I managed to normalize it almost all the way down. It appears that different accounts can be used on orders, and these order numbers are being recycled for some reason months down the line (don't ask my why they're reusing them for future orders because I have no idea either, they should be creating new order numbers). Of course, the Order number is the primary key in my table as it should be. I guess the same thing can occur with the sales rep. Anyway, I'm struggling to find the "best practice way" to deal with this situation. I'm almost tempted to create an intermediary "transaction table" or something like that between the main general order information (which at this point will basically be the Order Number and Customer ID only), then include a table with the account information and sales rep info, then have that link to the Order Detail with the products, quantity, order number and various dates for those order numbers. Order maybe it should be a separate, related table, but not between the general order information and the order details? Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track for this situation? It was a total curveball that the rep and account information could be different on these orders.
Option 1:
Order (Order #, Customer) -> Transaction Information (Order #, Account Type, Sales Person) -> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)
Option 2:
Order (Order #, Customer)---> Transaction Information (Order #, Account
| Type, Sales Person)
|
|-> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)
Hi guys. I have been working on a database to store network information, computers, software etc......
I have a table (tblComputers). I allocate computers to users on the network.
My question. When they come to the end of their shelf life I have the option to delete them from the database. However once deleted I will have no record of them. So I thought......would it be better to create a seperate table and move them there, or add an additional check box within tblComputers 'Retired' then add some code to prevent allocation?
Advice warmly received as always.
Phil.

Hello All,
I thought i would ask this question an how to import data from excel into access.
I am using sage to invoice clients and i can output this in to excel format then i would like the best and simplest way to pull the data though into access.
The data file has column headings at the first row ie A1 though to J1 and after this is the data, i have a table setup with the relivent table names, I had thought how easy this would be, but as always this was not the case.
The outputed excel sheet will vary in location so i think i need a diolog box to select the file and then some how link it to extract the data, is this right and if so how can it be achived.
Any thoughts
Alastair
