How To Make Table With Multiple "sizes" And Attached Quantity?
Feb 17, 2005
Hi ppl,
I'm trying to make a database table for a sneaker inventory display/controller, it will be displayed on website using Dreamweaver to pull out the records. I can't figure out how to have a "size" entry in the table, let me explain:
Here is the problem, I need a "Size" field in there, but a sneaker will have multiple sizes (i.e. 6-11) and each size will have different quantities. Is it possible to incorporate a "size" field in my current table? or should I re-do my table in another way? How?
I have a form for inserting invoices, and on the subform records I have a command button to print the labels, the label would contain the quantity of the product, so, if the quantity is ex. 11000 and package contains 2000 only.
so I have to print 5 labels with quantity 2000 and one label with 1000 qty
what I need to do, is when I click the label cmd button to insert the 6 records required to print the labels to temp table
I have a multiuser database back end with approximately 25 tables. The file size for the back end has recently jumped from approx. 50mb to 270mb, but I do not know where the data causing this increase is placed. Is it possible to measure the file space usage (in mb) that each table contributes so that I can determine the source of the increase.
My database is to track customer incidents. Can anyone tell me if my relationships look ok? I'm a remedial access user to any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
I have two tables with compatible data. Table 1 has 23 records and table 2 has 5 records. I am trying to make a "make Table". But instead of a table with a combined 28 results, I get 115.
I am having trouble calculating a field in a table and on a form. I have the following Tables CUSTOMER: Customer No, Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Discount, Phone, Fax, Contact Person. ORDER: Customer No, Order No, Order-Date, Delivery-Date. ORDER LINE: Order No, Product No, Quantity Ordered, line-item-cost PRODUCT: Product No, Description, Price, Product Image.
I need to calculate the line-item cost and need it to update every time the user enters a new Quantity ordered on the ORDER LINE form. I know its (Quantity Ordered*Price)-(Price*Discount) and I did this is a query and it worked but I need it to update in the form and update in the table not the query. I have tried everything (Macros, Queries, and Formulas) and I just can not get it to work. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
When I use the code given to me the program complies but it does not show the new total price in the for box dim a, b, c a = me.[your quantity textbox] b = me.[your price textbox] c = a*b me.[your total textbox] = c This is the code I used and my total box is called (line_item_cost) is there anything that I am doing wrong?
I have a 'tblStock' with fields 'ProductID', 'InitialStock', 'Buy', 'Sell' and 'UpdatedStock'. I also have a form 'StockUpdate' add values and also add new records to 'tblStock' .
If I have value [100] for IntialStock quantity, Buy [0] and sell [10], UpdatedStock will be [90] (that's done and fine!).
The problem is, I would like to make the UpdatedStock value [90] to be the NEW InitialStock, so that any BUY or SELL will keep updating the UpdatedStock and making it the NEW InitialStock for the next transactions and so on....
I have a product table that includes the name of the product, the quantity ordered, and the unit price. This is a summary table for the whole year showing all of the orders. The Primary Key is [ID] from the [tblOrders] table. I attached a screen shot of my query. I don't know if you can see it. I want to generate a report where each product is listed once, the unit price for that product is listed, the total number of that item that was ordered throughout the year, and finally, the total amount spent for each item during the year.
I have database that is linked to an asp style website. In my Products table, I have a field for Product_Description. Unfortunately the descriptions for the products that I have are very lengthy, some 10 sentences and above. And as access only allows for field sizes of 255 characters max, I can barely fit 1-2 sentences here.
I was wondering whether there is a way of getting a much bigger field size at all?
How can I control the size of my form. I would like some of my form with my program to open small, since they are small forms, and some large because they are the whole size of the forms. I hope I have explained this enough for someone to help.Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am a new member, who has been reading these postings for several weeks, hoping for a few quick answers, but no luck.
I have several issues on form size.
The first is that some of my forms open OK, but they change the form size of the form that opened them. My main form is maximized. When I open a child form, not maximized, the main form, and the open Access windows, such as the DataBase form and any open Tables, Queries, Reports, etc all become non-maximized.
The main form has the dimensions of the last-opened form .mde files, which leads me to believe that there is some Access option that crosses project or database lines. I cannot find it.
If I maximize the main form with the child form open, Access maximizes the child form also. If any form is open in Design View, the Properties window may be on top of everything. As the controls I need are seldom visible in these small windows, I spend much effort resizing windows.
What do I need to do to have a maximized "Switchboard" and smaller child windows/Forms???
How can i make all my forums fill my screen? so dont have to recreate them? so they are not just tiny boxes. as originaly designed? I looked in hope that there maybe have been something in the startup drop drop down, but i was't so luck. also tried to select whole forum and group and name the whole thing bigger by dragging the resize command. but this just messed the whole forums up so i did't save changes.
Well, today I had a problem with my main access db. It stopped letting me create MDE files, and my usual trick of decompiling it didn't work. I eventually got it working by importing everything into a blank database and setting the startup form and references again. However when I did this, I noticed a very big difference in file sizes. My old MDB file was 14mb, while the new one was about 5mb.
Just wondering if anybody else has come across anything like this before? Everything seems to be working fine and transferred over corrrectly, but such a huge difference worries me slightly.
i am developing a clothing order management database.
I have so far got [order details], [products], [product details] entities. This is so that products with the same model code can have a selection of colours and sizes which are held in the product details table.
I followed this website which was very helpful: http://www.princeton.edu/~rcurtis/ul...database2.html
The question is now: each size and colour will have a different stock quantity. How do i model this, for example, so when a Small Red t-shirt is added, the small red t-shirts quantity decreases rather than the overall quantity for the model.
After much work and help from a lot of competent ppl on this forum i have finally been able to get my dB together. Now i have a problem though which i can't solve. Problem is this: I open a form, lets call it MENU. From this you open a second form called NewEmployee. In this new form you insert new data about the employee(s) and then insert them in the dB. So far so good, but when you do a print about the employee, the procedure is this: A special form is opened (PrintOutForm), its fields are filled with data from the NewEmployee, it is printed and then closed. Problem with this is that the MENU form is now not-maximized :) Which it was when you opened the dB.
Is this something any of you guys have encountered before?
I browsed a lot of posts related to fonts, and pored over my "Mastering Access 2000" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" books, but I couldn't find answers to my specific questions.
I have many years of experience with Access, but I've only recently become interested in making my forms look nice on a variety of user PC configurations. Now, like many others, I sometimes spend too much time formatting a form so it looks really nice on my PC, only to find formatting problems on the user's PC. For example, a label using Arial Rounded MT Bold looks great on my PC but is cut off on the user's PC. Similarly, Tahoma on buttons looks nice on my PC but looks bigger and bolder on the user's PC.
At first I thought this was probably a font problem. But then I realized that even with the same screen resolution, the forms themselves (not just the fonts) appeared bigger on the user's PC. Some forms didn't even fit inside a maximized Access window, whereas they certainly did on my PC - again, this is with the same screen resolution. So now I don't know if it's a font problem, some other problem, or perhaps multiple problems.
Which leads to my questions:
(1) If I set the size of a form on my PC, and the screen resolution is the same on my PC and the user's PC, then why does my form show up relatively bigger on some users' PCs? How can one control the look of a form if the form properties are not applied identically on different PCs?
(2) Why do all the fonts look bigger and fatter / bolder on some users' PCs?
(3) Is there a user-configurable Windows setting that overrides the font size settings I assign to controls?
(4) How can I determine in code if specific fonts are supported (if this is a necessary step)?
(5) What is the industry best practice for managing font selection, allowing for the possibility that the desired fonts may not be supported?
I have written a database application in Access 2003 for my company. I am going to deploy it with Terminal services on a Windows 2000 Server. I went to my server room to logon and test and found that 90% of the screens I designed had print and close command buttons that were off the screen. I developed the application on a 19" plat panel display with 1280 X 1024 res. The server room has a 17" Non-flat panel with 1024 X 768 res. I am assuming this is the culprit. Is there a way to make the application a "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" solution. Im sure writing a different version for every possible resolution is not how it is done. Any ideas would be deeply appreciated
1) Access Runtime gives you limited choices for your root install directory and they all involve your OS HDD which in most cases is C:. Well that's no good if you want to install this on a shared network drive somewhere for everyone to use. How does one get around this?
2) The DB I've built includes the ability to update the table via a form. What happens when more then one user tries to update the table at the same time?
I have an Access Database of around 8MB. However, after a day's use, this file size increases to around 110MB. If I run a Compact and Repair, the file returns to it's usual size. The first time I noticed this, the file had reached a size of 2GB which is a bit alarming. The file does get used but only appending around 50 records a day and making some amendments. What could be causing this increase?
Is there a means of making an application grow/shrink to accommodate different screen sizes? eg. not all users of a distributed application will necessarily have the same screen size.
I would have thought this was easy, but I keep getting an error. I have a form with a save button. When the save button is clicked, I want it to check if user has attached an OLE object to a bound object frame. If they have, I'd like a checkbox to be true. Here's the code I tried: If Attachment.LpOleObject = 0 Then Attach.Value = False Else Attach.Value = True End If This seems so incredibly straight forward and it does work if there is an attachment. If there isn't I get the message that my database can't retrieve the value of this property.
Okay, my boss gave me this killer project and I just have a brief question to see if anyone thinks I can do this.
Right now, I have a database for business card management.
I have 2 tables
1)Contact Info - Has various contact info fields 2)Business Card Table - Have 2 fields, CardID and Card (field is OLE object to attach business card to the database.
I have the CardID field in a relationship with the same field in Contact Info.
I have 2 questions:
1) I am using Access 2000, and would like to know if there is a way to allow the OLE field to be a jpg attachable field. I did not see it as an option, only .bmp Cry
2) Is there a way, that when I pull the information up in a form, it can display the attached business card that is attached to the database?
Hi there thanks for all your help on the last problem got it working now. What I need now is 2 crosstab queries to become one, example below on how I want it to look:
Created By-----Total Of Date-----Total Of Date Taken-----Policy Name Type (eg Breakdown,Caravan going across counting Date and Date qouted in separate columns)
Here is the SQL for each crosstab query:
TRANSFORM Count([Date]) AS [The Value] SELECT [Created By], Count([Date]) AS [Total Of Date] FROM qryPresonalReport GROUP BY [Created By] PIVOT [Policy Name Type];
TRANSFORM Count(qryPresonalReport.[Date Taken]) AS [The Value] SELECT qryPresonalReport.[Created By], Count(qryPresonalReport.[Date Taken]) AS [Total Of Date Taken] FROM qryPresonalReport GROUP BY qryPresonalReport.[Created By] PIVOT qryPresonalReport.[Policy Name Type];
