How To Create Forms That Others Can Use WITHOUT Access
Mar 11, 2015
Everyone who will be filling out the form has access to Word, Excel, Sharepoint, and other office-type applications. But not everyone will have Access installed, and it would not be prudent to ask everyone to install it in order to fill out a form.
Is there a method for a form created in Word, Excel, PDF, or any other generally available software to automatically fill an Access database?is there a way, by creating a web database in access to be used with a Sharepoint, to create some kind of web-based form that will automatically fill the database?

I am investigating on the possibility of setting up an approval process for our employee intake procedure by using MS Access and Outlook.
The idea is for the requester to open an intake form in Access and fill in the new employee's information and send an Outlook email to the manager for approval. I know how to trigger off an event on the form to send an email to the manager but my challenge is how to create a hyperlink in the email for the recipient to directly open the intake form with the specific record, without the need to open the database and find the specific intake form.
The intake form is built in a frontend .mde file on a shared drive where all users have access to.

I have a client who needs a Database created in Access for him. he would like to regularly auto-populate this Access DB from an Excel file - like twice a week.In addition, he wants me to create Forms, Queries, reports and Macros for him in the Access, which will have 2 Tables from Excel files and about 3 Tables created in Access.I figured that I could do that if I gave him a link to the Tables he needed from the Excel file(s). But how do I work remotely for him- the path to those files is on his computer. I can load them to mine, but then he can't open the files.How can I create Forms etc. in an Access DB which uses links from source files as its Tables?

I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Hi,
I would like to get pro month and marketing campaign the values of about 12 KPIs. This dashboard will be used by different countries/marks.
My KPIS do not have the same entries. For example :
- the customer satisfaction is calculated on the number of customers "satisfied", "unsatisfied", "acceptable",
- the percentage of corrected and on-time reports is based on the number of reports "total", "late", "with failures", "late and with failures",
- the availability of the is based on the number of hours... etc.
Do you have an idea of the way to proceed?
I created the following tables :
-Tbcampaign (ID_Campaign, Campaign name)
-TbKPI (ID_KPI, KPI Name)
-TbRegion (ID_Region, Region Name)
-TbTime (ID_Time, Month, Year)
-TbFact (ID_KPI, ID_Campaign, ID_Region, ID_Time, Value)
... but how can I proceed with the KPIs?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Co.

I am trying to create a database to schedule customer visits. I would like to enter a beginning date and a frequency (IE every week or every two weeks) and then be able to print a schedule by entering a date range. Very similar to how MS Outlook calendar performs. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Chad

I created a help file in access that lets you have text mesasge up to 1024 chars. Just press F1 key on any control that you have setup to bring up help message.
Does any one see any problems with the way I did this?
Form
Help File: = ""
Help Context ID: = 0
For each control on the form where you would like to have a help message do the following.
Form
Control
Help Context ID: = Set to one of the help index numbers in the help table.
Add KeyDown Event to the control
Private Sub Text0_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
'Add this line
KeyCode = DisplayHelp(KeyCode, Me.ActiveControl.HelpContextId)
End Sub
module
Function DisplayHelp(KeyCode As Integer, HelpContextId As Integer) As Integer
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstRecords As DAO.Recordset
If KeyCode = VBKeyF1 Then ' 112 = F1
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstRecords = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT tlbHelp.Index, tlbHelp.HelpMessage " & _
"FROM tlbHelp WHERE (((tlbHelp.Index)=" & HelpContextId & "));")
With rstRecords
If .RecordCount > 0 Then
Call MsgBox(!HelpMessage, vbInformation, "Help")
End If
End With
DisplayHelp = 0 ' Clear KeyCode
rstRecords.Close
Set dbs = Nothing
Else
DisplayHelp = KeyCode
End If
End Function
Create Table and Fields
Table Name: tlbHelp
Field Name: Index as Number
Field Name: HelpMessage as Memo
Field Name: FieldName as Text
Field Name: FormName as Text
How type in custom number and message for each help message.

I am creating a database that basically holds product information. The different fields I have is Supplier, Product Code, Product Description.
For each product I have a product specification in a word document the names of these specifications follow this convention: [Supplier]&[Product Code] e.g. Coca Cola012345
I need a hyperlink to link to the relevant word document, but rather than going through and setting them up one by one I want the hyperlink to be self calculating depending on the information entered in the fields.
I tried typing in the following in the hyperlink address part in the properties:
=[Supplier]&[Product Code]&".doc"
but it seems to read it exactly as I type it in and obviously does not work.
Can anyone suggest a way round this or perhaps a completely different way of doing it which may be more effective???
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

I am using MS Access 2000 to handle a help desk system. Each job is given a task number and users are able to output a report of all of there tasks, with full notes.
What I would like to do is create a index front page or section which lists just the task numbers and the page number they appear on.
Can this be done or is there somewhere to perform a search on a report?
Any help most appreciated.

Dear Access Expert
I am trying to create the Excel chart see attachments (ExcelChart.jpg) in MS Access but I don't think it's possible with the Access Wizard because it doesn't allow me to use more than one data field (step 2 in the Chart Wizard)
I created the Excel Chart using a pivot table in Excel with two data fields and they are graphed simultaneously
For the Access Chart I only managed to get the "Total Delay Series" and not the "Arrival Delay Series."
Must I use Excel to make this complex chart and link it to my Access form and if so can the chart still be dynamic? My intention is to set parameters using combo boxes and then create the chart on the fly. For example currently the user sees the series for the years 2004- 2008. I want to enable the user to be to have a choice about what years (range) they want to view.
THank you so much.

Hello! All,
I need to store a customer signature in the database so that we can take a print out at a later time.
I don't know how to go about doing this and thought that creating and editing an image within an access form should be a good option. But I don't know how to go about doing that either. So could anyone please help with this and also if you have a better idea, could you suggest that too. I have the application running on a tablet PC so there's something called Stickynotes too that comes with it. It would be great if someone could suggest a solution
Rishi..

Hi
Im building a web application to control the stock of a small company.
I already made the database with all the items and descriptions in one table.
This table would be the main warehouse. so now i have to create 3 different departments in different tables where i have to move stuff from the main warehouse.
So if i have 10 boxes in main, and i move 4 to department1. then i would get 6 boxes in main and 4 in dep1.
My web app would be constantly updating the stuff being sold in departments 1,2,3.... so here is my question.
how do i make the database to update the quantities by itself in the main warehouse table if department X sells anything...?
Like in Excel, when you work with different sheets that can update the other ones if you change a number. the rows can be linked... can i do this in access?
Otherwise i would have to write a lot of extra SQL code in the ASP scripts and im really out of shape cause i don't program in ASP sisnce very long time ago... years.
Thanks!

I am relatively new to Access and have a simple database which I use to generate Publication numbers for our new publications. I would like to have a text box and button on a form that will generate duplicate records of the current record the same number of times as specified in the text box.
E.g. If I need 6 copies of a record I would like to enter 6 in a text box, click a command button that will generate 6 duplicates of that record.
The code in order to do this 'on click'.
Table = Publications
Form = Publicationsfrm
Text Box = Lines
Command Button = Submit
Primary Key = PublicationNo
I have tried the following code but it is not working.....
Dim i as Long, myRS as Recordset
Set myRS = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("Publications")
For i = 1 to Me![Lines]
With myRS
.AddNew
![PublicationNo] = Me![PublicationNo]
.Update
End With
Next
Alternatively if I have a duplicate record button that uses a macro is there a way to run that macro the specified number of times in the 'Lines' text box.

I want the table to be linked to the Pivot Table Data and publish it as a report.
I know in excel it is simply using the = sign to the cell reference; however, what is the equivalent of this in Access?
- How to create a table as shown above?
- How to link the Pivot Table data to the table above?
