Is there a way to query any system tables to list all tables that are being referenced in any queries, forms, reports, modules, etc.? We've inherited a rather large Access application containing some tables that we suspect aren't being used at all by the application, and we'd like to verify this suspicion before deleting these tables.
TIA
I have two tables, which have same fields. The tables are used for keeping record of news clippings, that are clipped in two different offices. I understand that the best way to manage the database will be combining them into the same table. Yet, it's not an option for the time for some technical reasons. Each table has the same fields as follow:
Input date
issue date
headline in English
news source
category
I want to have a list of news clips from the two tables by a specific category. I will have a form, that allows user to select category as the criteria to query the two tables. I manage to do that in a single table, but how to do it for two tables. This will be very help if you can help. ideally, I can use category to query news clips as well as academic journal clips (from another table) table.
Thanks.
there are many threads about Table Linking but i coud not find one that answers my specific questions.
1. Can i either prevent database from linking to my tables? (or give permissins )
2. If not, can i make the table read only when linking?
3. Is there a way to confirm what databases are linked to my tables?
hello
could anyone tell me that is there any way to hide the unused records or the records that have a null value.
tx in advance.
Hi,
I'm wondering how to do the following:
I have two combo boxes that exist on a form record (i.e. two combo boxes for every record on the continuous form): mainCategory and subCategory.
Currently, I can choose a mainCategory and depending on the mainCategory, I have certain values available for the subCategory.
What I want to do is only show the values that have not been used for the subCategory (the mainCategory can always show its default value).
An example of what I mean is below...
The comboboxes and their row data:
mainCategory (combobox)
-------------
A (combobox rows)
B
C
subCategory (combobox)
-----------
for A: 1, 2, 3 (row for the selected mainCategory)
for B: I, II, III, IV
for C: red, blue
Sample scenario:
1. For the first record on the form, a user selects "A" from mainCategory and "1" from the subCategory for "A".
2. The user adds a new record to the form
3. For this new (2nd) record on the form, a user selects "A" from mainCategory and can only select "2" or "3" from the subCategory combobox. The "1" from the subCategory combobox is no longer available for choosing, unless the user changes the first record's "1" in subCategory to another value.
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA!

How do I find the comma "," in a text?
thanks
:confused:
I have a control (command button) on a form that opens up a report which filters out a single record. The filter is based upon a value in a text box located on the form. Within the VB code, I put some code to prevent the form from opening if the text box had no data in it.
When i click on the button (assuming the text box has a value in it), I get the error message I defined, and the report opens properly. This tells me there is an error being generated.
My question is, how I determine what error has been generated? And how do I fix it?
Here is the code I used:
//This is the code for the form.
Private Sub cmdButtonPreviewLabel_Click()
On Error GoTo Form_Closure_Error2
DoCmd.OpenReport "reportLabels", acViewPreview
Form_Closure_Error2:
MsgBox "Sorry, but I cannot print a label without a Job Number.", vbOKOnly, "Notice"
Exit Sub
//This is the code for the report
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Form_Closure_Error1
tempvalue1 = Forms![frmjoblog].[JobNumber]
Me.Filter = "[tableJobLog].[JobNumber]= " & tempvalue1
Me.FilterOn = True
Form_Closure_Error1:
Exit Sub
End Sub
End Sub
Hi
i have a query that takes fields from various related tables to give me the information that i want
The primary table has 199955 records
The query displays only 199939
16 recordss are missing
I know why this is: the primary table (CWT reqd equip) has a field on it that is a primary key on another table (cwt Equip). On "CWT reqd equip" 16 records must have an entry in this field that is not present on the table where the entry is a primary key (cwt Equip).
I dont know how to identify what these 16 records are on the primary table. I want to get rid of them so i can enforce referential integrity between the two tables.
can anyone help? Have i wrote this clear enough?
thanks
p.s i've attached a doc showing how the query is built. the other tables other than the two i mentioned aren't important, for this.
Hi there,
I need to sort out the repeat customer, e.g. I have a list of customer's name, like Nike, Emerson, Alcan, etc... and if they sign another contract with my company again this year, I will name it like Nike 05, Emerson 05, etc...
So how can I get the result of how many customers have signed the 2nd contract with us. I have no clue now... :confused:
Anyone can give me some hint please! :)

I am trying to identify how long inventory has been in a specific location. The information that I have is the current inventory level and movements that have put the inventory there. Assuming FIFO I would like figure out the following.
ex: I have 4 movements with various dates AND I have 3 pieces currently on hand, how do identify the date of the last 3 movements (assuming that the one that has been moved out was the first one in)? Of course there is a long list of part #'s, on hand quantities and movements into the location so the logic should work for all.
Sample data
Part # Date Quantity
123 09/30/1999 1
123 09/01/1999 1
123 08/30/1999 1
123 07/30/1999 1
456 09/30/1999 1
456 09/01/1999 1
Part # On Hand
123 3
456 1
the Result I would like to see:
123 09/30/1999 1
123 09/01/1999 1
123 08/30/1999 1
456 09/30/1999 1
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

hi
i am in a situvation that i have to identify the dates which comes under particular week1 or 14.
What I am doing is trying to have access identify and label various lanes of transit.
So, for example. I have the below...
Origin Destination Via Transit Time
Hong Kong New York East Coast 38
Hong Kong New York West Coast 32
China New York East Coast 34
China New York West Coast 29
Is there a way in Access to have it identify that Hong Kong to NY via West Coast is the "DEFAULT" where HKG to NY via East Coast would be "ALTERNATE" ?? And then do the same for the next origin? The table I have now has over 71 different origins but I need it look at each origin independently.
Here is the problem
I have a tblOrders that has 1800 records with 31 fields primary key tblOrder which is a number.
Periodically users export data from SAP into a spreadsheet, which are changes to the original data but may not contain the exact same fields as the master tblOrders. The data in this spread sheet identifies changes and may contain aprox half of the fields that are contained in the master tblOrders. The field names however (in the spreadsheet) will be of the same type as in tblOrders.
What I would like to do is identify differences between the tblOrders records and the records in the spreadsheet, and then update the tblOrders to show the changes.
how would you proceed? Maybe create a new table by importing the excel spreadsheet into access and then somehow querying the differences and updating the master. If anyone has done anything like this b4 please could you update me...
Cheers in advance.
Hello,
I was wondering if there is anyway to be able to identify or monitor changes made to a query.
Basically looking to identify if anyone goes in and manipulates the criteria field within the query ?
Using Access 2003.
Any thoughts or help are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have a global function which I have hooked onto the onClick event of controls. Currently I am using commandButtons as my control of choice. In my function I can then reference Forms.ActiveControl which is no problem.
However, for lots of reasons I really need to use Image controls. Now, my problem. Image Controls have an Onclick Event, but they do not get focus so the Forms.ActiveControl will not work.
How can I identify the image control that has generated the click event if the control itself does not get focus and so cannot be referenced by ActiveControl? Working on a possibly work around, but could do with the best brains in Access on the case!
I have the following columns in my table 'Catalogue'.
Contract_contractitem
contract
Supplier name
Item number
Short description
Long description
I need to identify duplicates if the short desciption is the same, long desciption is the same but the item number is NOT the same.
e.g.
4700000551_978, 4700000551, FISHER SCIENTIFIC BIOTECH LINE ApS, mbp-6014, 0,2 ml PCR Tube, Hotstart, wax bead, NS, 0,2 ml PCR Tube, Hotstart, wax bead, NS 96 tubes/pack, 10 packs/Cs
4700000551_977, 4700000551, FISHER SCIENTIFIC BIOTECH LINE ApS, mbp-6010, 0,2 ml PCR Tube, Hotstart, wax bead, NS, 0,2 ml PCR Tube, Hotstart, wax bead, NS 96 tubes/pack, 10 packs/Cs
Basically I would like to populate column three "OUTCOME" according to the following logic:
if train A10 has multiple destinations (we see this in the second column) then in outcome I woudl like to have "multiple destinations" if the destination is only one (in case of trains A15 and A16) , then I would like to have that city in column 3 "OUTCOME".
I have data for multiple account numbers (for work) and dates, and I need to identify when there is a change in account number in order to add a new field with a count - which counts sequentially starting with 1 and then starts over at 1 when the account number changes.
Ex. The red column is what I am trying to create
Account Date_To Counter
12345 06/30/2015 1
12345 05/31/2015 2
12345 04/30/2015 3
19999 06/30/2015 1
I have a form linked to table tblINCIDENTS. When I create a new incident, I select DATE_LOGGED in a text box. This updates the field in tblINCIDENTS.
I would like to show on the form (and store in the table), e.g.
"Record 5 in Year 2013"
I already had the new record number as an autonumber, but now I created 2 extra fields in the table - recordno and year.
I have a hidden text box which, on DATE_LOGGED.CHANGE, finds the Year() from DATE_LOGGED. I have tried using a Query to find the MAX RECORDNO of YEAR. I managed to display the Max (having manually populated the fields!) in a textbox, but am now going round in circles!
I'm wondering if there's any way to find out who has a database open.
I've saved the file as an ACCDE for the users and kept the ACCDB file as my working file. Whenever I make changes to the db I need to save a new ACCDE file on top of the existing one. In order to do that, I need to ensure no one has the db open. Half the time I need to track down 1 of 15 people to find out who it is that has it open so I can kick them out and save.
I don't have any login features, but could use the POD # that each cubicle has associated to their computer if Access allows that...
Is there any way to identify the Top row in a continuous view form?This changes of course as you scroll down. What I'm thinking of doing is a page jump page forward, or back. The form is based on a query and has a line number field, but I can't figure outhow to get at it in code.
View 4 Replies View Related I have made a program that can identify a entry in a field (ID) and change the quantity of a field. However, if can only identify numbers. I have the code as follows:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Sub AddToInventory()
Dim tb As DAO.Recordset
Dim I As Integer
I = 1
Do Until I = 2
On Error GoTo Canceled
[code]...
The "where ID2 = " only works with numbers. Is there anyway I can make this work with Strings? Basically, Find the string in a column and update the quantity.
I have a continuous form with an image and a text box on it. When the image is clicked, some text should appear in a text box. The problem is that the text appears in the text box of the incorrect record.
Suppose the first record is the 'current' record (i.e., having the record selector to its left), and the user clicks on the image in the third record. Then the text appears in the first record, not the third.
Is there a way to find out which of the records was clicked on? Or, can I change the current record to be the one whose image was clicked on?
Example 1:
2011-1
.......
2011-3893 etc.
Currently I have an Access form which produces a new unique number to identify each new record created. To do this I use the unique ID autonumber from a table to identify the new records. I would like to change from this simple number to the the above format per example 1. The four digits to the left of the hyphen would always be the current year and digits to the right of the hyphen would be the unique auto incrementing numbers such as from my table. I need the year to auto increment by 1 each September 30th (new business year) and I need the numbers to the right to auto reset to 1 to start uniquely identifying records again for the new incremented year. As each record is closed I need the number to be written as a single entity in the new format to my database.
Example 2: After September 30th.
2012-1
.......
2012-447 etc.
trying to identify if 2 fields within a table have been populated i.e.
