I'm looking for a way to have a form set up that has a submit button on it so that when it is pressed it takes the data and inserts it into a table. I need to make sure the button is only pressed one time. And.... I would like to take away the new record, previous record ect.. buttons at the bottom off the form. This possible?
View RepliesHi everyone,

thanks for any help

What Im trying to do is make invoices that I have in to data base...
reason for it is to keep a close watch on the price fluctuation since the stuff we get are from different country. We don't really need it but this is my own little project just for myself...I have all the tables made and form ready but I have couple of problems.
1. How do I calculate and save it in the table? I Know this violates 3rd normalization but I need to do this since the price will change almost every week. basic calculation which is total price / quantity.
2. How do I get the previous record on the form automatically? lets say that the date I put in is July,4,2005. How do I get this to show up in form for the new data input? and keep that date until it is updated using form.
3. Since I'll be getting same stuff lots of times, and since they all have item number, How do I get it to auto fill? lets say that I input a item number and rest of the form automatically fills in the rest of the values...and updates are saved to the table and next time I input the same item number updated data will automatically fill in the rest.
Thanks in advance. This is my first post so, please go easy on me...:)
I also search the forum but couldn't find anything that I understood...
Is this a project too advanced for newbies? As I have stated earlier, I have everything layout but I'm just trying to make it easier inputing new data.
and all the codes that are here, I'm lead to believe they are Visual Basic.
and good book for newbies on VB?
Thanks. and sorry for the long post...
I have table with item details...in the item details, I need to put the weight of the item in order to calculate the Price Per Pound. but the problem is that not all items are calculated by pound and some of them just need to have individual weight entered to so we could identify which is large and small...
so in a way I have to put like 2lbs or 2oz... how would I go about doing that?
later I need to divide some of them by total but not all. should I make a another field for lbs or oz?
I have a query where I use the Month function to get the month number of funded loans. So for example if a loan funded 06/01/07, my field would display 6. I have this for the whole year of 2006 giving me values of 1-12. I have put in the criteria <=[What Month?] for my month field so that the query will prompt me for the month value I want and give me that plus any month previous. The problem is that when I put in 12 for the criteria, it only returns 1, 10, 11 ,12. It is grouping/sorting the values based on the first character. So any value that starts with 1 is automatically less than any value starting with 2.
How do I fix this?
I have inherited an Access DB that is supposed to be kept "alive" but not made much better. On a weekly basis I get an Excel CSV that I'm supposed to import into one massive table; that works just fine.
However, there is another query that takes values from a table named "New Users From Import Table" and appends them to the current "User" table.
But before running that query I have to manually update a field called "Display Name ID" with the next highest number from the User table but only the highest value that isn't in the 9000 number range.
For example, my next highest "Display Name ID" is 1144, which of course does not include the records that range between 9000 - 9008.
I had to manually enter 89 "Display Name ID" values yesterday and I know there has to be a way to update that field when I pull the data over from the temp table without having to do it all manually.
Here's the query that pulls the data into the "User" table (after I've manually entered the incremented values).
INSERT INTO Users ( [Display Name ID], [User Type], Organization, [Display Name], [Alias Name] )
SELECT [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name ID], [New Users From Import Table].[User Type], [New Users From Import Table].Organization, [New Users From Import Table].[Display Name], [New Users From Import Table].[Alias Name]
FROM [New Users From Import Table];
how to auto increment one field based on the value in another field. What I have is a table with six fields. There is a foreign key assigned to each record and linked to another table. Four fields in this table are number fields indicating accordingly a number for a category, a number for a subcategory, a number for a subject for a subcategory and a number for an instruction for each subject of subcategory. The last field is the text field for each instruction. Numbers are required to be included in the report. Also, number of categories, subcategories, subjects and instructions vary by each record in the the table which this table is linked to. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have numbers in the subcategory to auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the category field, numbers for each subject field would auto increment starting with "1" for each number in the subcategory field, and numbers in the instructions field to auto increment for each number in the subject field starting, again, with "1". I also need these numbers to restart with "1" for each new record in another table.
Basically, the table would look like this:
cat subcat subj instruction
1------1-------1------1
1------1-------2------1
1------2-------1------1
2------1-------1------1
2------1-------2------1
3------1-------1------1
3------1-------2------1
1------1-------1------1
(if the record in another table is a new/next table)and so forth..I have been looking for anything that could remotely work for me. Every VBA code I've tried is either don't work the way I need it to work, other codes making the field to continue increment numbers if the number already exists in the other field.
I am trying to create a database that will have records that include dates and a number assigned to that date. ex., the 3rd day of the quarter will be numbered 3 and the 43rd day numbered 43. I will do this via table.
After running a query that will identify a subset of records, I only want to see those records that are part of a 10-day or greater span. There could be multiple 10-day+ spans over a given quarter.
I have a temporary table with all text fields for importing data to a normalized table. In order to import I need to prep the data by pulling the numeric values of "lookup" type fields (nb. not actually using MS Access lookups)
My prep query is producing 9 more records than there is rows in the import table, even though every join is a LEFT join, which should just pull all import rows and match up lookup values where they are available.
eg. of import table (all fields are text)
Location;
Group;
Name;
Wfm type;
Account Number;
WFM Status;
Date Created;
Date Held To;
processdate

any assistance would be much appreciated. any other info needed let me know.
I have a table with a field named BinNo which has a list of items with a bin no in the format 1.234( this number can be any number up to 6000.9999).
Is there a way for me to have a field on a form where I enter a number (i.e 1) and it lists all the items with a 1 before the decimal point but not 10 or an other number with a one in it. If I enter 10 then it will only give me the items with 10 before the decimal point and not 11 etc.
I have a query that pulls all the data into it but I only want the query to show the items relating to the number I enter into the form field.
I have list of candidates shown in report. I need each candidate to have a unique number based on user input. And this number increases by 1 for the rest of the candidates in the report.
Example is below:
If user enters 1132 in the user input box then the numbers shown in report should be as below:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 1132
Andrew Sen 1133
Andy Luker 1134
Similarly if number entered is 2345 then the numbers shown in the report will be:
Name Assignment Number
Felicity Thomas 2345
Andrew Sen 2346
Andy Luker 2347
I am creating a Make Table Query and calculating new fields based on current and prior year-end numbers. If the prior year-end number does not exist (Is Null), I want the use the current rate or calculate the change in rate. I have typed the below in the Field Box:
CHG_IN_PGM_RATE: IIf(([P0_10 Tbl - AM PYE PTD Detail w Rates]![PTD_PYE_PGM_RATE]) Is Null,([MASTER LIST CURRENT]![PTD_PM_PGM_RATE]),(([MASTER LIST CURRENT]![PTD_PM_PGM_RATE])-([P0_10 Tbl - AM PYE PTD Detail w Rates]![PTD_PYE_PGM_RATE])))
However, when running the query, I get the attached error message.
The screenshot will also show how the two tables are joined.
Hello,
I have extracted 4 digit numbers from a long strings of characters and numbers which I have identified as date. Some are inputted as
mmdd (example: 1129)
ddmm (example: 2310)
I have to calculate the number of days between the start and end dates. I tried formatting as date, but I can't get it to work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
I need some help please. I am working on a performance management database. In this database we keep track of daily overtime and how that overtime is broken down into sub categories. For example, my staff worked 14 hours of overtime yesterday. 8 went for weather related overtime and 6 went to cover vacations. I have a report that shows all of the supervisor's overtime in a continuous list of running totals. But it's getting to big. I am trying to create a query for each supervisor that pulls the daily totals for the previous week and gives me that total sum. So far, my individual supervisor queries look like this. DATE, SUPERVISOR, DAILY TOTAL. They click on the report button and then they just count 7 days worth of numbers.
How do I create this?
TOTAL FOR SUPERVISOR X FOR THE WEEK OF 00/00/00 through 00/00/00 that pulls the daily totals out of my "overtime table"? and gives me a weekly total?
Thank you
Shannon
I have a query to create in access based off a query already created in SQL
The SQL query converts a 4 digit number into a date using this code:
CAST(CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN RIGHT(OPDT, 2) ELSE LEFT(OPDT, 2) END + '/' + '01' + '/' + CASE WHEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) > 12 OR LEFT(OPDT, 2) = 00 THEN LEFT(OPDT, 2) ELSE RIGHT(OPDT, 2) END AS SMALLDATETIME)
OPDT is a digit number in text format. The function converts 9606 into 1996-06-01
What is the access method in order to this?
I have recently started learning to use Access and all is going very well except for the date. As can be seen from the images below I have set up my date function correctly in Control Panel and everywhere I use a date it is displayed correctly. In Access however numbers are added which I cannot figure where they are coming from and don't want them there. In the second image you can see what the various Format options look like. When long format is used in a Form or Report it displays those additional figure. I cannot get 2015 to display but get 15316 or similar instead.

How to generate random project numbers that reset automatically every month? I want to generate project numbers that look like this:
1234/06/12
where the 06/12 stands for the month and the year while the 1234 is a randomly generated number.
I want the random number to be four digits long.
I already have a number of projects with similarly generated projects from an existing database. Can I import these projects without changing their project number?

I have attached a sample of a database.
Table 1 has all the items I am trying to sell with sell by date after which I cannot sell this item. Then in Table 2 I have forecasted sales. So now I am trying to calculate stock consumption to see if I will be left with any stock that I cannot sell.
So now somehow I need to deduct sales forecast from my stock holding but it needs to go by date i.e. consume all stock for Item 1 with date 16/09 before moving to Item 1 with sale by date 23/09.
So based on the attached example, I can see that on 16/09 I will consume only 5 cases from sell by date 16/09 and another sale is 18/09. So that would give me information that I will be left with 95 items dated 16/09, which I cannot sell because they will be out of date.
Ideally I would like also to include the logic that if Item is out of date it would move to the next sell by date.
So in this case sale of Item 1 forecasted for 18/09 (94) would consume the whole stock (50) with date 23/09 and another 44 from date 01/10
For Item 2 I can see that units with Sell by date 30/09 will be consumed on 25/09 and I will start taking stock from next sell by date which is 14/10.
I need to calculate the final date based on the begin date and the number of days.

Is there a way to show the earliest and latest dates of a report generated by a non-date field?
E.g. I generate a report based on Food, and it'll list the days that this food is associated with. Is there a way to show the first and last day that appears in this report (i.e. the range of dates that the report shows based on the food selected)
I have a DB with Start Date (dd.mm.yyyy), End Date (dd.mm.yyyy) and Quarters. We have 4 Quarters (Jan-March, April-June, July-Sep, Oct-Dec) and extra columns of month (xxx) and year (yyyy) too.
The problem is the front end users have access permissions to modify the dates. if they change the start date and end date then they are manually gonna change other fields like quarter, month and year too (Which they don't want). The users don't need to manually update the column values for Quarter, Month and Year
For Example,
If the user modifies Start Date to: 22.05.2014 and End Date to: 24.06.2014 (then the quarter column should be fixed to 2nd quarter and month should be June and year should be 2014).
2nd Example: We need to consider the End Date for classifying the quarters, Month and Year
If the Start Date is: 22.05.2014 and End Date is: 24.12.2014 (then the quarter column should be fixed to 4th quarter and month should be December and year should be 2014).
The solution is when ever the front end user modifies the dates then automatically the quarter, month and year columns need to be changed.

I have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?
I am using the following expression to calculate a completion date for a project which is based on the due date. My problem that I am running into is when I get to a project that is due on a Tuesday, it returns a date for Sunday when it should be Friday.

I manage training for a large organization and am able to get a data dump that contains class end dates and class hours. Based off of those two, is it possible to determine a start date (excluding non-business days)?
For example, a 2 day class would be 16 'Hours' with an 'End Date' of Friday the 15th. Is there a formula that would give me Thursday the 14th as a 'Start Date?'
More importantly, if 'Hours' is 80 and the 'End Date' Friday the 15th, would it be able to give me a 'Start Date' of Monday the 4th? Can Access account for holidays?
