I am writing reports and queries for an Access database used by a small business. I have a copy of their data and am making the report and query additions to that. Now how do I get my additions to the 'live' system?

I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have made a query that was supposed to update my reports every week with new inquiries that we get.
I thought i had solved this but when i opened the report this morning, it's just showing last week's.
I have this as the criteria:Between (Date()-7-Weekday(Date(),2)+1) And (Date()-Weekday(Date(),2)+1)
It's probably wrong.
I've design a form as such when i FIRST add a NEW
RECORD, I want the system date to be capture into the
form. I have a table calls Register. And this table
has a field "DATE" which takes the value of the system
date(=now). However, when i open the same record the
next time, the orginal value(at the time when the
record is created) of the field "DATE" will be
replaced by the new system date. However, i do not
want this to be happen because i want the field "DATE"
to take the value of the system date when i first
created the record. My question is how to prevent
subsequent system date from being updated in the
record whenever i open the same record? Thank you.
I have created a database that I am happy with, and I am about to receive information to populate it with. I know I am about to be asked to about security and logging of changes made to the data, which I know nothing about!!
As a result before I get into this part of my project I would like to know myself what is and what is not possible!!
Currently I have 2 tables and 3 forms, one of which is a sub form........ All changes will be done via the forms, adding new records, editing existing records or even deleting obsolete records.
•Is it possible to record any changes made to the live data?
oFor this to happen I presume that I need to setup users and access rights?
•What type of information can be saved if any?
oWhat form would this be saved in and where (a temp table?)?
While typing this a change of plan – if it is possible I am going to start building it regardless, as it will enhance my database.
Thanks
Hello,
Right guys, new to access but have experience with MySQL.
Basically, i have one table with a few fields, ID, Customername, Rating, Customer_email, Comments, Removalcompany.
I created a query to get all of the ratings from that table, and average them.
What i want to do now is put that average into a table and to have it only showing in one record. I have achieved this, but i would like to have it so that the number for the average rating is live.
This is to be used as a backend for a website.
Any suggestions?
First post, so I hope I'm following the post-etiquette!
Anyway, I've just been employed by a company who still uses access 2.0 and lotus smartsuite.
Basically I'm gonna have to migrate a few of their backbone databases to access 2000+
I've managed to find the old Microsoft access 2.0 book in the company amazingly, which is a help.
I was just wondering if anyone knows any good sites for migration, or any particular problems that may be encountered. I'm just doing some background work at the moment, this won't be happening for a few weeks (hopefully!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll just take this opportunity to say that I've found the site very useful in the last few weeks and hope I can contribute in the future when I break out of newbie status!

I've gotten to a point with my database where I have split it into front and back ends, and then made a copy so that I have a test version and a live version. I have users in live who've started keying data, and I'm working on forms and tables in test that I then copy to live as they are completed. Up to now, I've been just copying the individual item in test, and then pasting it over the version that exists in live (example: I made some changes to a form in test, copied that form, and then pasted over the version of the form that was in live).
Where it gets tricky is that I am also in the process of designing and insurance underwriting feature that's going to be a part of this application. I've set up all the tables in test, and now that I'm working on setting up the relationships, I'm wondering how I'm supposed to copy the relationship setup into live. Am I supposed to be copying the entire front-end from test when I have changes, and replacing the existing "live" front end with it? And if I do that, will I have to edit it every time to keep the new live front end from sending data keyed into it to my test version (had that happen when I initially split it)?
I have a staff rota system that works on a rolling 4 weekly basis. I am using a table to store the shifts of a person dependent on week. I want to be able to tell access that Monday on week 1 corresponds to a certain date and then get access to figure out the rolling system based on that date.
eg Monday 21/7/13 is week 1 (7 days later it knows it is linked to week 2)
This is so if a staff member is off sick I can say they were off sick on the 24th and it will populate their timesheet with the corresponding shift without me having to input it manually. Doable?
How can I set Month or Year default as per the system date. ie Only select records by Month (October) or Year (2013) as per system date?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys,I'm new to Access except using it years back but much has changed from the 2000 version to the 2007 version - it's slowly coming back to me though, as it's mostly just an interface change. Although I'm highly experienced in SQL (mySQL) and database design / structure from being a Web Programmer.I'm wanting to store a stock amount for products. Using 3 tables, for products, orders and sales. Here's a real basic layout:productsprodID | productName | productStockordersorderID | supplier | prodID | quantityBoughtsalessaleID | customer | prodID | quantitySoldThe products table is just a list of the products. Sales is where I log what I sell to customers and the orders are what I buy from my suppliers.What I'm wishing to do is use the products table to store the stock of that item so as soon as I make a sale, that quantity for that prodID is subtracted instantly from the productStock and when I make an order it's instantly added.Is this possible, or is there a good way to do this?All help appreciated! :)Thanks,Nick.

Drawing Number
File Link
Attachments
Description
I basically want to have a live preview window of the "File Link" attachment in that current record. I have heard it's best to use a Web Browser Control when doing this, but I cannot get it to display the currently attached pdf file in that field of that record.
Is there a way to edit the link properties of the Web Browser Control so that it dynamically detects. The file location of the attached file in that field? There will only ever be one attachment in that field, as this will be a live pdf view of the drawing to which that drawing number was assigned
I've set up a product database in Access for my small business. One of its functions is to track the prices of competing products online.I'm trying to get Access to automatically update these prices en-mass, yanking the data off the websites in question without me having to manually enter hundreds of prices each week.
I have a unique record for each product instance as it appears online. For example, there are three unique records for a 4oz hand sanitizer I sell (one for each of my competitors that sells it). Each record has the price, quantity, and unique URL on which the product appears.I'm not great with HTML and don't really have any programming expertise aside from some pretty simple VBASIC.
So I'm trying to do this database for my ICT coursework and its a full system for dog kennels.
So in actuality the rooms are kennels.
I have a table tblbookings that amongst others has fields:
Kennel No
Date In
Date Out
I need a way of users entering the requested dates for a new booking and getting an output of a list of all kennels that are available to book for that full date range or even better, a way of running this straight from the form for a new booking frmbookings to just leave the first available kennel no. in the field KennelNo?
Since you can add Calindar in access using activex so that I can select any date and pass that on to a field in a form, is there any way you can add a clock using activex so that I can select any time that I want to put in to a field? any suggestion? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a split accdb in Access 2010 with tables/data in the back end file (stored on a network drive) and the forms, queries and code in a front end file stored on each desktop. Note the front end file is common to two back end files. Both back ends will be mirrored but I need to use one for live data and the other for development and testing.
I want to be able to include vba code when the front end is launched that prompts the user to choose between one of two back end files, one 'test' and the other 'live'. But I've spent all afternoon scouring the net with no success on something simple but effective.
As I see it I just need an option on a form and depending on which is selected the following happens:
- links to current/existing tables are deleted
- chosen back end file (test or live) is selected (this has a password)
- links to the tables of the chosen file are created in the front end
- the appropriate back end source is now working with my front end
I'm creating an automated system on access, basically it uploads client's files and analyses their data. The files will always be different, with the amount of fields changing and with different field names each time
One part of it, is appending new contacts to their data. This means records which we can add new contacts to, needs to be duplicated with the new contact placed at the end. So it needs to be like
Company Name New Contact Name
A
B
B Tom
B Harry
Because it's automated with different field names each time, the duplicating part is an issue. I can use the * rule which appends all fields, however this will not work in this case, if we are adding more than 1 new contact, the new contact will be duplicated rather than having 2 new different contacts.
Ideally I want rule saying, append all fields EXCEPT the fields where the new contacts are placed, but I don't think this is possible
I'm using Access 07 for this. Using a mix of VBA and SQL in the modules
I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
How do you grab a custom Fiscal Year's values based on the system clock's date?
I am building a query where I want to see the number of closed cases based on the current custom fiscal year with the system clocks date. The report that it feeds only cares about the current FY.
I need the System Clock's FY value in this query
Code:
SELECT shortname AS Station, NZ(TotalCount.TotalCases,0) AS [Cases Complete]
FROM StationList LEFT JOIN (SELECT station, count([Open Issues].ID) AS TotalCases FROM [Open Issues] WHERE [Status]="Closed" GROUP BY Station) AS TotalCount ON StationList.shortname =TotalCount.station;
Within the Query Open Issues I have the FY broken up
Code:
fiscalYear: IIf(Month([Issues].[Opened Date])>=10,"FY" & Year(DateAdd("yyyy",1,[Issues].[Opened Date])),"FY" & Year([Issues].[Opened Date]))
I have been tasked with importing data from a clocking on system to analyse worked hours.

The plus indicates a night shift worker
eg started at 19.18 and finished at 5.37 on the 12th
so for every record I have staff id , date, and clock time ( I have stripped out the + ) and created a yes/no field to identify the records where field2 should actually be field2+1
I have sat in query design screen for ages and cant think how on earth I am going to calculate hours worked for a given staff member and date combination.
for every combination of staff id and date there should be 2 records - a clock in and a clock out
I thought about creating new fields clockin and clockout but struggling to see how I can link the 2 "paired" records together
vb script with dlookup for every record ?
I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to stop access displaying the "You are about Update 1 Record" etc message when i run an update query. I know i can do this in Tools/Options screen but the problem is that the database is going to be used by multiple users, and rather than changing each persons Action query option I was wondering whether there is something i can put in to the code Globally to halt the message.
Any help would be appreciated.

i want to have a form which, after a job number is entered show a single bar graph of the time taken for that job (DLookUp ed from a query / Table). For example, if the total time is two hours and the job takes one hour, half the bar would be coloured in.
i can do it by opening another form once the job number is entered but I'd rather like the form to be "live" - once the job is entered the colouring in of the bar happens AfterUpdate.
I don't feel as though I've explained this very well.
I hope someone can help.

This is a very simple problem most likely for the masses, but I am new to access. I have employees who enter will enter information about specific tests on electronics components into separate tables by a form. I know my method is poor, but this is how it works. I got assigned this database at my internship this summer because they ran out of thigns for me to do.....I've never even used access before, so as long as it works, they're happy. I have a form which which writes to a first table with 20 fields. I then have separate update queries which take the data in the first table and put it in all the other tables. Trust me, i know this is pretty much the opposite of the whole point of a relational database, but I am and was limited by time, for the size of the database they want, there was no time to learn about normalization etc etc. Sorry this is wordy, but THE QUESTION is......if they run multiple tests wtih the same information for some of the fields I have fields named "Run#, Unit#, Date" etc, even if there is records wtih the same information, hwo do i get it all to show. Right now, it seems to be rewriting over the same records. If they run 3 tests on unit 10 on August 1st, how do i get it so all those show up. I think its somethign wtih in the table, for the primary keys, changing the Index: No, Yes(Duplicates) Yes(No Duplicates) but I could be way off. Thanks, if the question doesnt make sense i'll try to rephrase it, I apologize I'm running on about 45 min of sleep:confused:
