Huge Problem(s) Please Help!!!!! Asap

Nov 28, 2004

i've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.

bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.

i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.

bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.

setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.

problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,

"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."

excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.

???????

The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.

Need Help Asap

Aug 2, 2005

This seems like a mediocre problem but I can't think of any way of making it work. I have a table with a bunch of fields in it and one of the fields is called 'user'. Now all the other values in the fields remain pretty much the same except the User name. I want so when I try entering a new record using a form, all the fields are already filled except the 'User' field, thus allowing me to just keep filling the table up with different user names while not having to fill up the other fields.
Any help would be awesome.
Thank you

Need Help Asap

Aug 3, 2005

Hey guys,
So my boss needs me to do something with the form. I'll give you an example: Say the form/table has two fields Computer Name and User. Now one computer name can have multiple users and it can be any number of users (no set amount) she wants to be able to add one user at a time and not in the same field. She also does not want to have two different records with the same computer name but different users. The way I thought of doing this was to make a button in the form so when she needs to add more users to the form she can just click the button and another field would appear saying "user 2", "user 3"..etc. Is that possible or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks in advance for the help guys

Huge Database

Jun 21, 2007

Hi,
I have a huge databse with a form, showing record info. If I use a search button to search the databse it takes ages to find the record.
The quickest way is to find the record by hand, find the record number, copy that, and paste it into the form and hit enter.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can speed thing change over up.

Thanks

Need Help With This Database ASAP

Nov 9, 2004

If there is someone out there that could help make the lane score sheet easier. or give an example you could send an attachment to joeschidek@hotmail.com


Overview:
You are going to create a program that tracks the scores for a season in a bowling league. This program needs to be very easy to use. In fact, Access, SQL Server, or VB on top of Access is one good way to attack this program. Using a web interface to a CGI database is also acceptable. VB accessing text files will work as well. VC on top of Access/SQL Server is OK as well (wicked hard). VC has wizards that connect to databases just like VB. Check the Win 32 App Wizards.



The league meets every other week. The players bowl anywhere from 1 to 3 games (typically 3). Each week, the teams play each other and give handicaps based on total team average. The teams will win if their team total is higher than the other team’s total, including a handicap. With three games the league tracks wins/losses per game plus overall pins. This gives 4 games per week. The overall pins goes to the team with the most pins over the 3 games. As a note: the team names are the names of their captains.



The league bowls on lanes 17 through 20. This means that there are 4 teams with 5 players each.

Program flow
v The program should perform like the following:

Ø User inputs the week’s data

Ø Program validates the week’s data

Ø User then tells program to update the season data

Program output requirements
v Player data sheet

Ø Player average (sort by this)

§ Total pins divided by number of games

Ø Player high game

Ø Player low game

Ø Player high series

§ Highest total pins for a week

Ø Player total pins (subsort by this)

Ø Player number of games (subsort by this)

v Team Standing

Ø Sort by Wins, then losses
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
v Lane score sheet

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.>>
Ø Two teams per player

Ø An entry for each player

Ø Three lines for scores for each player

Ø What alley the team is on

§ All teams must play on all lanes the same number of times in a season

§ You must determine a fair strategy to move the teams around

Ø The handicap

§ Difference in total team average

§ Whichever team has the lower average total will get the handicap

Ø Need a simple way to print different sheets for each week, based on the schedule

§ The code to automatically change the schedule based on the week is probably too much

§ A manual changing of team and lane assignments is OK

Program input requirements
v Weekly data

Ø User should be able to input player scores who bowled

Ø Program should allow you to skip players that did not bowl this week

Ø Program should account for players that bowl less than 3 games

§ Example: a player with 12 games bowled going into this week, can only bowl one game

§ Once the stats are entered, the program will reflect 13 games, and calculate the average based on 13 games, not 15

Ø Program should allow inputting of which team won or lost

§ Be advised that this code can get tricky

§ I will accept, without penalty, manual entering of wins and losses

§ There can be a maximum of 4 wins per team per week

v Interface

Ø The user should be presented with command buttons, in order, to do their task

Ø They should not have to type in 50 commands nor have to open certain queries in certain order

Ø Ie: you are coding for a non Access geek, you may assume an intelligent person, not Brenda


Program calculations
v Player average

v Hi game

v Low game

v Total pins per week

v Total pins overall

v Which team wins or loses

Ø You may force the user to enter this manually

Ø The amount of code to calculate wins/losses automatically is more than the amount of time to have the user calculate it manually.

v Wins/Loss percentage

Ø Number of wins divided by games played

v Total team

v Team Handicap

v More calculations may be necessary

Brenda Checks
All scores are between 0 and 300

Wins cannot be larger than 4

Two teams cannot be on the same lane

Very Confusing & HUGE Challenege..need Help.

Nov 8, 2005

One of our key customers (GE) has demanded that we begin to submit our estimates in their transmission 160 character format.

Basically it it a txt file that looks like this all on one line.
1ABCDWXYZ0502EST TEST123456T050208654321C 00010851803098518031 000000E 0000000000000D CAR SHOPPED AS CLEAN-PROCEED WITH

Only a couple of those characters are in my database and will change. Other than that items will continously be the same. The items that are optional and we don't have not only have to be blank but have to have spaces there instead...not 0's.

How do I set up a query to kick all of this out? I tried something like:

GEString:2UPRR YYMM00&""&WorkOrderID yada, yada, yada

but it didn't work....any ideas? I also need the YYMM to be the current year/month and I have to pull the decimals out of the estimated billing costs.

Is there a better way to do this? As you can imagine...typing 5+ pages of this for each job would be a NIGHTMARE!

Huge Jumps In AutoNumber

Nov 20, 2007

I inherited a database from someone else which has about 9000 records.

When sorted, one can see that the AutoNumbering starts at about 72K...then after a while there is a jump to about 134K...then after some more records the AutoNumber suddenly goes up to about 396K.

Does anyone know the most likely reason(s) that the numbering is like this?

Thanks in advance.

Database Security. Please Respond ASAP

Sep 26, 2006

Hi all i'm really confused. I have tried to use the user-level security wizard to set my database security which works fine from my computer. However, when someone else logs into the database through my shared area where it is kept, they do not encounter any of my security settings that I set up for them. From this it looks to me that the security settings only apply when someone opens the database directly from my computer and not when they open it over the network from my shared area.

Could someone please explain to me why this is happening and offer a solution to it please. Your help will be greatly appriciated.

Huge MDB (Need To Create Installer Or Updater)

Jul 2, 2007

Hi all,I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. We currently have an mdb which includes a form and 4 tables. The entire mdb is around 800 megs. What we used to do is distribute this mdb to users in completely different locations on a CD, but now it has become to large for a cd to hold. Our manager wants us to figure out a way to distribute this mdb using only 1 cd, without zipping it. How would i go about doing that? Is there currently an installer, that can download the database from our ftp site and then insert the tables, or is there any other easier way i can get this done? P.s. The database will likely get larger and larger every yearThanks in advance

Questions Before Undertaking A Huge Project.

Feb 22, 2008

Here is the scenario:

I have a bunch of people with laptops who go on reviews throughout the state and leave reports on site with the facilities they review. They go out in multiple person teams and work together on reviews. Currently, each person types out their own citations in MS Word on their own computer, saves them to a flash drive and then the facilitator compiles them all together and prints out a report. Then the facilitator comes back to the office, provides their support staff a copy of the report, and then the support staff finalizes it and sends out a letter.

Unfortunately, none of our laptops have Internet capability out in the field.

My idea is to have a multi-user split main database that is stored at our main office. This is for the support staff to store all of the reports. Then I propose to have a local copy of the database (much smaller) on each of the laptops.

Here are my questions:
Lets say that 3 people are out on review together. They each have their entry form on their own computer. The form will be sending information to a few different tables. How can they easily export out their results so that the facilitator could easily import them into their database on their computer.

If all of that were to work somehow, how could the facilitator easily export out the review information tables so that the support staff could import them into the main database.

One of the many stumbling blocks I see relates to Primary keys. The main database will have a main table with a PK of 2008.100 for example. While out on review the reviewers will not be able to use the naming conventions of the main database PK. They might use something like the City name and date (Pensacola02222008). Could that PK be automatically switched into the other format upon import?

Let me know ya'lls thoughts. I have been trying to get my head around this for a few days and have not been able to come up with a feasible solution.

Thanks in advance.

Embedded Pics Create Huge File Size

Jun 27, 2006

I'd read a few places that embedding pics wasnt the greatest of ideas, but I thought that 1 JPG embedded onto 2 forms would be ok and would prevent the pic from being deleted or moved. (Theyre always screwing with the server here.) But it's making my DB huge.

No pics embedded
Size: 808kB

1 Pic Embedded into 2 forms
Pic Size: 156k JPG
DB Size: 135 MB

Is this normal? I could understand a 156k pic adding somewhere around 156k to my DB, but 134 megs? Anyone have any insight?

We have a huge report in our company that includes all our customers, all the visits done by our sales reps, all the products they have and if a product was out of stock in the visit or not.

I want to create a querry that exports a table with 3 columns:

1-->customer

3-->average of out of stock products on the LAST visit

I tried to make a pivot table, managed to grab the last visit (setting the date to maximum) but the average of out of stock products were aggregated totally and not for the last day.

How to handle this in MS access 2010?

Big Problem! Newbie Need Help ASAP Stock Control And Allocation System

Aug 11, 2005

:confused: Guys I need some help!

I am new to this database stuff and my work want me to produce a database which will not only keep stock on printers, scanners, monitors and base units we have in stock but want an allocation system as well.

Basically, a member of staff from a department will make a request for some items. These could be a monitor, 2 base units and a scanner for their location. I need a system which tells the user that the items or qty they want is in stock or not. I know I need to use an unbound box for this but dont know how.

Then I need a form which a IT techie can allocate a job too themseleves and take the item to them once this has been done they sign off the job.

I have a rough idea on what I want in each table but I am really losing time and i need some help or if anyone can do a quick one for me with forms etc I will be ever so grateful!

The tables look as follows:

Dept - DeptID, Name of Dept
Staff - StaffID, Name, Postion at college
Request - RequestID, Date, StaffID
Stock - StockID, Item (monitor), make (CTX), Model (17" TFT), QTY, Status (dead, working, faulty)
Request deatils - ? - Basically this is where the staff member will make their request for what they want.
Allocation - This part needs to be given to a member of staff and they needs allocating out
Techie - TechieID, Name, Postion
Location - LocationID, Location (where the item is going to)

If anyone can help me please post otherwise please please send me an email to mini_beest@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you and hope you can help

EASY ACCESS Problems...PLz HELP ASAP! Don't Want To Fail My Class..*fingers Crossed*

May 4, 2005

I am doing a cert. III in business admin that finishes on MOnday 9 May 2005. I have 3 days to do a mammoth business trip assignment, AND pass a test on Access. The school is a little dodgy and didn't make me do that practical assignment - they gave me multiple choice q's and written q's to take home.

PLEASE HELP!!! I need to pass this course - and we never use Access at work.

Q1. What is wrong with this formula?
=Iff([Product]=Home,1,0)
I'm sure there's more wrong with it than the 'Iff' - that's meant to be 'IIf' isn't it? I've only ever used formulas in Excel..

Q2. What result will the 'Is Null' expression return?

Q3. What is the difference between a Combo Box and a List Box?

Q4. Why is the purpose of the Paste Append function?

Q5. Which formula is correct?
a. =[Qty]*[Price]+[Freight]
b. =[(Qty)*(Price)+(Freight)]
c. =([Qty]*[Price])+[Freight]
d. =[(Qty)*(Price)]+(Freight)

???

Q6. A chart can be placed on:
a. Table view only
b. A form or Report view
c. A Query or Table view only
d. A Report view only

Please answer any of these questions you can - the last one I can trial by error later tonight.

Thanks in advance.
