How To Pull Data From Database
Nov 14, 2006
Hi,
I'm totally newbie so please go easy on me, I finally learnt how to make database and tables by reading online tutorials. I'm now able to create a simple database in access, using tables and stuff. I want to ask, say i put 500 entries in my database and then i want to search for some specific data, how do i do that?
Say I'm making a database of model's agencies, and i want to pull all the models working in same agency and stuff like that, how do i do that. Do i have to create queries or forms? i'm confused, please help.
Tania.

I need to first generate a random number between 1-4.
Then I would like to use that number to pull that many records out of the database; the records pulled can be random, or whatever.
For example, we have 4 people and my goal is to choose a random # of records to pull for each person. So, for person #1, it might only pull 1 record, then for person #3, it may pull 2 records, etc.
Ideally, it wouldn't pull the same # twice when run for that "session".
After this, I'm hoping to generate all those results into emails (eg for person 3 it would generate 3 emails, etc)
Currently it's all done manually and I think it's doable with Access.
I have some code already for generating "1" email message, but do not know how to pull X number of emails all at once. (X is the random #).

I am trying to have pull down information on my forms so I don't have to reimput my data twice, but I can't remember how this is done.
I am working on a database for my school and I need to input the names once. Then after just the marks.
Any good tutorials on access?

I have a table that contains the following:
Code BrandName Lead Free Nickel Free
001 AAAA Yes Yes
002 AAAA Yes No
On a form the user selects the code field and in this table the field is called BRAND. On the same form, I need to display the value in the Nickel Free field so if selects 001, the field on the form needs to be "Yes", if the user selects "002", the value needs to be "No"

I'm working in Access 97 (though I can use Access2000) and Outlook2000 and am trying to write a process that will go into a specified folder in a user's outlook and pull in the data from the emails there. The data will be in a standard csv format - but my biggest problem is trying to figure out how to systematically go into the folder, import the data from the email, and then move to the next email in the folder...
Any help would be much appreciated!

I would like to know if Access can pull data and information from specific websites automatically without me having to enter the data myself each day.

Hello,
I have a form with a subform. I have the subform running a update query on a command button in the subform. The subform has the textboxes and I cant seem to get the query to pull the data from those textboxes. I have used the normal [forms]![form_name]![textbox_name] in the past but everything I try to pull the subform textbox data is not working.
I have tried
[forms]![form_name]![subform_name]![textbox_name]
[forms]![form_name]![subform_name].[form]![textbox_name]
[forms]![form_name]![subform_name].[form].[textbox_name]
Nothing works. What is the correct syntax for this? Any help would be great !!! Thank you in advance.
Joe

What I want the form to do is filter on a column where I have combined 3 columns of actives together. So the form will filter if one of those values is any of those three columns. So I have a macro setup right now trying to filter for anything "Like" what has been selected in the combo box. Here is what I have in the where condition of the filter macro:
Code:
((([Active1] & " " & [Active2] & " " & [Active3]) Like "*" & "[me.cboactives]" & "*"))="'" & [Screen].[ActiveControl] & "'"
This is in Access 2013

Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble with our receiving database. This database consists of two tables. One for vendors, which basically contains their vendor ID as well as vendor name and phone # etc. The other table is our receiving data table. When our receiving person receives product in, they log this in the receiving table including info such as date, autonumber for record, vendor etc. The problem is, when the person selects the vendor id, which is set up as a lookup field, we would like to have the vendor name pop up atuomatically within that record. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this isn't happening. The person is using a form to enter all of this data and runs a summary report at the end of the day. Our accounting dept. is requesting this info be added, but I cannot seem to figure it out.
Thanks so much for any assistance!
Amy (monet1369);)

v sorry for the basic question, but ive been banging away at access and i cant my head around this..
i need to run a simple query. the query/ search will ask users to enter in the number of a document. i want, when this code is entered, for 2 controls on the form be updated with codes that are stored in a table based on the code they searched for originally.
heres my table structure...
Table A
Doc ID (PK)
Doc No (manually input and is the search item that users enter)
Table B
Unique ID (PK)
Doc No (FK)
Info (to populate field 1)
Info (to populate field 2)
how do i perform this in the query section? do i need to manually code the SQL required, or is this query basic enough that i can just select the fields required in the design view of the query?
thanks guys

We have a user that wants to pull data from multiple oracle tables into one access table. She will probably want to run this process daily. The tables will join easy enough, but I wasn't sure what the best way to go about doing this was.
I haven't used access very much. Again, this is a member of the user community and she is wanting to do this thru access.
Ideally, if it could be automated some way, or set up in some way where the user would not have to do much more than start the process (and not have to redo any "select" statements each time). I would assume some kind of combination of links and import (maybe using a macro?), but again I know very little about access.
Any guidance will be appreciated!

I have a form I use for data entry, it needs to generate an id called RO Number and i need it be generated by access starting at number RO129036 and then keep adding sequentially, so RO129037 etc etc.
as i already have data in my DB that i need i cannot just reset any fields
having a table with just one field - the numeric part of the RO number so first one would be 129036 - so i need the form to pull this field, add 1, and then add "RO" at the beginning of it? i have really been struggling with this database

I have a query that pulls data from the following fields in 2 different tables:
Area1FloorPrep (tblFloorPrep) ex. remove ceramic tile
Area1Size (tblInstallationAreas) ex. 20 s/f, or just 20
Area2FloorPrep (tblFloorPrep)
Area2Size (tblInstallationAreas)....
All the way to Area20 (Floorprep and InstallationAreas) for both tables. I have created an installer invoicing form that pulls the data from the workorder that these fields are located in, but the problem I'm having is that I don't know what kind of query to create to concatenate the data in the 20 fields and concatenate the size of the areas next to the appropriate concatenated floor prep description. Is there a way to do this without coding?

I have a table that has four columns. Column 1 had people's names, column 2 has their email, 3 has a category, and 4 has their office.
I have a form with radio buttons, When you check a radio button and press OK it will display the e-mails for the people selected. Problem comes when it's by category, since categories are not unique to one person. I want to click the category radio button and have it display every person under that category, concatenated with a comma.
Problem is I can't make a listbox because it will show the same categories several times instead of just once, so I want the radio button with the category name on its label, and then in the code I need to tell Access to go to the table and search for the e-mails from a specified criteria, the category.
How do I do this?

Is it possible to have a query that uses criteria to pull data from a specific table?
For example: IIf([Result]'"Negative",(tblNegative goes here),IIf([Result]="Positive",(tblPositive goes here].
The tables are just text, but the query would be too long if it was used.

I need to pull data from a master project list to auto update other forms. When someone enters a project number I need it to pull the data for that project into another form so they dont need to keep typing details in. The other forms are trackers for our processes to complete the projects.
Let me know what you think...would a subform pull the info automatically somehow?

I have two different database files. One is 2010 ".accdb" format where I have created a form and the inputs to the form is getting saved as records to an access.mdb file in a shared path.Now if the users want to edit the existing record I should allow them to search their previously submitted record with a unique ID number.
I know it is possible when we have both the form and table in the same db. But I want to know whether it is possible to search with a unique ID and pull the data from different db in a shared path using a command button?

Right now I have a subform with a combobox that pulls it's data from a table. I want the user to either select an existing item or type in a new item and have a macro create the new table row. What I have right now works in the sense that it prompts the user if they want to creat a new item and the new item is created (and I can see it in the combobox list), but I'm still getting an error saying that the item does not exist in the table forcing the user to manually select the newly created list item they just typed in.
Code:
Private Sub MaterialCostCode_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Update value list with user input.
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim bytUpdate As Byte
[Code] ....
It appears that the new item doesn't always show up automatically and requires the form to be refreshed, so now I need to figure out how to get it to consistently appear right away without a refresh.

I have a query that pull data from hours worked fields that have values with decimal places. Hours is multiplied to rates to create my amount to charge in my query which is then displayed on my invoice report.
The issue is that when I sum my amount, my subtotal is off by $.01 due to the decimals entered for the hours worked (e.g. hours worked is 1.5*32.75=49.125)
I need the rounding to work in the query and display on my report as $49.13 and the subtotal to reflect it. I have the properties in my table as double with decimal place at 2, and my query and report properties with decimal place at 2 as well. It still isn't working.

I am looking into re-creating something I have created in Microsoft Excel into Microsoft Access.What I do in the Excel spreadsheet, is when I type in an order number, various fields in the spreadsheet are populated using vlookups and ODBC's.
I wish to re-create this in Access but not sure how. I have a basic form, with various fields such as, order number, part number, description, quantity.What I have in my mind is that I would like to be able to type in an order number, then the rest of the fields would be populated by a query to a SQL Server database.i can see a way to do this using VBA but would rather look for a more direct way if possible.

I have a module that is in Excel that is connecting to a back end database. I am trying to pull data from a table that meets a number of conditions. With the following statement, it is not returning any records,even though I know there are records that meet all of the conditions. I suspect the problem is with the last condition. In that condition I am trying to say that pull in records where it has been at least 14 days since the last review.
Code:
strSQL = "SELECT tblsojrol_oc.* FROM tblsojrol_oc WHERE tblsojrol_oc.[Status] = 'Pending' AND tblsojrol_oc.[1st Review Date] IS NOT NULL AND " _
& "tblsojrol_oc.[3rd Review Date] IS NULL AND (DateADD(Day,14,tblsojrol_oc.[2nd Review Date])) >= #" & dt & "#;"

I am trying to create an expression to pull data from 2011 to present date. I need the data for 2011 to only reflect 1/1/11 through 10/7/11 (today's date in 2011). I need the same for 2012 and 2013.
I don't want to have to enter dates each time I run this, therefore, a formula would be preferred rather than hard numbers.
