How To Handle Duplicate Members In A Table
Oct 7, 2015
I am putting together a "Clients" table, what is the best way to handle Clients with the same name.
For example:
Here are a few fields from my "Clients table":
ClientID
Fname
Mname
Lname
DateOfBirth
I was thinking of making a unique index for first and last, but then i thought, what if I come across 2 John Smith's?
I am sure there is a professional way of handling this, but Im not sure what the norm is.
-SHould I make a unique index for Fname, Mname, & Lname?
-SHould I make a unique index for Fname, Lname, & DateOfBirth?
I would like to know what is the norm when storing people in a table and the best way to prevent duplicate clients from being entered.

Hi all,
My database is a simple membership database that adds members and by clicking of a button it tells me the memebers birthdays for the month and if i chose to select the send card option then it remembers who has been send the card.
All i want now is a query that will take a member who's memebrship has been expired (since membership is year long only) and move them to another table by looking at the membership dates (like 2004 and 2003).
And may be later on if those members wants to join the membership i can then add them again from that table back to the main table.
I hope i made my self clear enough.
Thanks alot

I have a query where I am trying to count the number of members who have joined during a period of 12 months from a start date sept 01 to following August 31. Instead of getting the total number of members I am getting totals for each member type. I have 12 member categories identified by [TypeID] but each member has a MemberID (Autonumber). I use Sum in the MemberID Field in my query by pressing the Sigma Button. When I run the query I get totals for each TypeID instead where I wanted one final Total. I suppose I need to count the records bearing in mind some numbers have been deleted so numbers jump in the Auto Number field. This is quite asic but I cant get it right. Help appreciated!

First I'd like to say I've learned a great deal from all of your posts. I registered today because I'm having the strangest problem.
Let me tell you that I am in no way a programmer, I don't know any code except some basic html. I was asked to take a 2 day class to learn Access (which was a joke) and then build a database for my employer. I think I've accomplished what they need by using every available book I could get my hands on, forums like this, and the help menus.
Our database is very simple. We only have 3 tables, all of which are related by a field we call our "referrer code".
My problem is this -- we've noticed that some (6)of our records are gone. I have no idea why, or when. We run a roadside assistance company. The database keeps track of members. I can't afford for Access to just drop people. The tables are very small, we only have 1,841 members. There isn't any specialized coding, because like I said, I don't know any. I've mostly used wizards to design.
Does anyone have any idea what, if anything, I should look for. I can send or answer any questions that might help you help me.
I would appreciate anything you have to offer -- even if its just a place to read something that might help.

Hello,
I have a single membership table that contains two separate date fields,a "StartDate" when a member joins and an "EndDate" when an individual cancels their membership.
I would like to query this table to provide a list of active members between a given range of dates.
For example if the date is set to 1/1/06 through 1/1/06, I will get a list of all active members on that particular day.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hello,
I have a query that lists members who have outstanding payments. The results of this query are being used to populate a winword mail merge document.
The problem with this query is that if there are multiple members from the same family who owe then I will get an entry for each of them in my query results. What I would like to do is add the amounts due so that I only have 1 entry for that family. Additionally, since it is possible that more than 1 person can have the same last name and not be related I would also like to have the query check the address field and if it's the same than add the amounts due. The following is the sql statement for the current query.
SELECT Members.FirstName, Members.LastName, Members.ParentsNames, Members.HomePhone, Members.PaymentDue, Members.Active, Members.MemberDues, Members.FamilyAmount
FROM Members INNER JOIN MemberTypes ON Members.MemberTypeID = MemberTypes.MemberTypeID
WHERE (((Members.PaymentDue)=Yes) AND ((Members.Active)=Yes))
ORDER BY Members.LastName;
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Chris

Hi, here's the scenario...
I'm building an ASP based email application which is to send emails to different user groups. The email addresses in the database need to be able to be assigned to more than one user-group, and an administrator needs to be able to add user-groups to the database.
So effectively, there may be hundreds of user groups and hundreds of users.
What is the best way to store this info in an Access database? Do I let the administrator create a new table column in the userEmails table whenever there is a new user-group added, or do I store a series of userGroupIds in a text field along with each email address and delimit them so that I can split them into an array?
I'm really not sure how to go about this, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks...

Hello,
What is the best way to handle notes on a form?
The DB is for recording Quotes and Orders taken over the phone.
Is it best to have a seperate table w/ a NotesType field so that all notes are stored in a central location? Or is it better to store notes for each quote/order in the Orders / Quotes table itself?
Also, if data is entered into these fields using subforms, is it possible to have the notes displayed outside of the subform in a box format, to allow plenty of typing room?
If anyone has a good example of a smart notes system implementaion, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

I have Four tables, CustomerTBL(holds all the customers for both companies); NoteTbl; AgeingTBL1 (this is for one company) ;AgeingTBL2 (this is for a child company)
I need to keep the 2 ageings seperate.
I want to creat a form from the customer table (so you can make edits to contact info and such)
Then I would like a subform with the ageingtbl1 and the note table to be linked together, but I only want the records from the customer table and note table to come back that match the ageing for that perticular customer.
I think I made this more confussing then it needs to be

I have a parent form (called PR_CR_Form) that has a subform called SubFrm_DefectClassification. I am trying to log all changes to the Access database. I am using the VBA code from the Microsoft website for article 197592. It works great. However, it only allows me to capture the changes to the main form. The VBA code has the following statement:
Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm
This makes MyForm point to the parent form (PR_CR_Form). What I would like to do is to make MyForm point to the subform (SubFrm_DefectClassification). However, I can't seem to do this. I tried the following:
Set MyForm = Forms!PR_CR_Form!SubFrm_DefectClassification
but this didn't work.
I would very much appreciate it if someone could please tell me how to do this.
Thank you!

Using MS Access 2000
I'm building a customer management database. Part of which is a table to record details of all members of the main customers family or the household compliment.
I'm currently using a DCount to work out how many people on the table are related to my client, to work out the size of the family.....
=DCount("MemberID","tblHHMembers","CustID = [CustID]")+1
Could I also then count the members of the household that are under 16 years old by looking at the DoB from the same household members table?
I realise that I'd need to ask access to calculate age at the same time as working out if they're under 16 and then count them if they have the same Customer ID - which might need a little more than this single function!

I have a query to count the number of society members in a particular UK Postcode area. It works well for a single Postcode reference but adding further references to the Query Design View generates an 'or' or 'and' statement, rather than the additional counts that I need.
The SQL code I use for a single reference is :
SELECT Count([Mail List].[PostCode]) AS CountofPostCodeH
FROM [Mail List]
WHERE ((([Mail List].PostCode) Like "BN5 ???"));
How do I amend this code to produce counts for multiple references in one query.

I have this database that do contains duplicate record (not duplicate field).What I'm trying to do here is to extract record that is unique to a new table And those record that were duplicate into a new table.the *Distinct that we used in sql will not work because it is not what I wanted. using distinc will give me unique record of the whole database.say i have this database that contain an ID:
2525
2658
2658
2658
2525
3678
so what i want is to extract unique record to a unique table and those that contain duplicate in another table.so the 3678 will be put in a new table and the 2525 and 2658 in a new table,,That way I will see which file will have duplicate

Hi guys,
I've noticed a few posts on the subject of images but there's lots of different scenarios and I'm hoping someone with far more knowledge can give me some basic pointers for my specific case so I can research it more fully.
Basically part of my database is storing properties, then there's a separate table for property photos as each property can have between 0 and infinity photos (theoretically, the max. is likely to be between 5 or 10).
From my understanding so far it will be best to store a path to each picture as a text field in the database as we're looking at 100+ photos easily from the start which I understand would cause a huge database using OLE linking.
I've got a couple of articles on how to take the path and display it as a picture on the form, not tried it yet but had a read through and it all seems fine.
What I need to ask is the best way to do a couple of things...
When viewing a property via a form is it easy-ish/possible to display thumbnails and captions for all the associated images? Could it then be set up so you could click each image to view it full size?
I need a slightly more user friendly way of adding the photos than just typing in file paths. What I imagine the cleanest way would be blank boxes which you'd click, get a Browse... window to pick the image then once you'd picked one it would place a thumbnail in the box, or something similar. However I'm not sure how well that would scale to a non-specific number of images (ie 0 - 10).
I have no fixed specifications for displaying/adding these images so if you have other ideas/ways of doing it then please suggest - the above is just what I imagine would be 'nice' - if it involves way too much coding then it's not worth it at this stage.
Any help / pointers would be most appreciated :) Let me know if you need more info.
Chris :)

I'm responsible for an Access 2000 database which three people have open more or less constantly and another four open from time to time.
The database is on a P2P network and is split, with the back end in a single location. The network is wireless.
At the moment there are no problems with this setup but changes are being contemplated which will mean that eight people will have the database open constantly with another four using it occasionally.
For other reasons ( There were only three other wireless networks within range when we started, now there are eight), we are switching the network from wireless to cable. The back end will be transferred to a new PC with a powerful processor and loads of memory.
Does anyone have experience of allowing that many users to log on at the same time in a P2P network? And was the experience good or bad?
