I would like to start keys for different suppliers with different letters. For example a company named ABC would have product keys starting with a and then a series of automatically installed numbers. That is the series of keys would be a1, a2, a3, etc. and then a company named Village woud have keys v1, v2, v3, etc. How can I do this without having to manually install thousands of keys?
View RepliesHi,
I'm designing a database in which the primary key is a combination of the first letter of first name, the first letter of last name and the date of birth.
How can I do that?

ok here is what i want.. imagine a search box, just an empty text box that allows the user to type things into it...
there will be a simple table from the database behind it, here is the typical structure of a record
<Country>Poland
<Price1>60
<Price2>85
<Price3>95
in this table there will be say a 1000 of these records...
my user is going to have to quickly search through these records while on the phone to a customer, and quote one of the relevant prices associated with that country
what i would like is this most convenient system..
as the user types in the letter 'P' just below all the records with countries that begin with 'P' are displayed (with a scroll down arrow if needed)..as well as the 3 relevant prices with that record
if they then type an 'O' into the box (which will now hold 'Po') all the records with countries beginin with 'Po' will be displayed (eg Poland)
if they delete the 'o'. once again the displayed records below the box will return to just the countries begginin with 'p'
all that is needed is for the records to be displayed, thats it.. but the adding and deleting of the letters within the text search box will need to instantly manipulate this list..
i have posted on other forums, and have been told this can be acheived in access, is it hard?
Hi
I have a little help program that I made with ccviz/Helpmaker.
(its quite a nice program)
Now I would like my users to be able to open it from a menu inside my Access database.
Where do I start?

Hi. I've written a database which I may need to install on a lot of machines which don't have MS Access. Does anyone know of any software I can buy that creates the set up.exe files that allow people to just install it regardless of whether they have MS Access?
Many Thanks

Hi All.
I am running a select query on a date field.
I populate the table "date" field from a Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0(SP6).
I havent been able to figure out how to ONLY populate the date portion of the control so my field value containes Date & Time.
When I run the query, I have to select the day after my request to include the records I need. I think this is because of the time in the field
Example, If I want all records thru 6/17/2006 I must select "thru" 6/18/2006. This mucks things up if I have records dated 6/18/2006
Both of these statements give the same bad results:
Between [forms]![freports]![from] And [forms]![freports]![thru]
>=[forms]![freports]![from] And <=[forms]![freports]![thru]
Any ideas?
TIA

Hi everyone.
Have been testing installation of Office XP Developer Access 2002 runtime package created using the package wizard on a WinXP Pro SP2 machine, for installation on a Vista RC2 5840 machine.
After installing the latest necessary updates such as Office XP Developer SP1 among others which were essential to remove the Path/File error I had, A new error displayed itself as soon as the runtime install package launched.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Basic 6.0 Setup Toolkit (Error Window Title Bar)
The Office System Pack cannot be installed on this system because it requires Windows NT Service Pack 6 or later.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I assume Windows NT SP6 has no relevance to Vista ???
Maybe some other update will help here. I have googled for hours to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best wishes for 2007.

I need to run a query counting how many policies a client cancelled. But I need the query to include zeros. Is this possible?
Here's my SQL Statement currently.
SELECT DISTINCTROW Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Number, Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Name, Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.POLICY_STATUS, Count(Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Number) AS CountOfNumber
FROM Pqry_CancelledPolicy01
GROUP BY Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Number, Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Name, Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.POLICY_STATUS
ORDER BY Pqry_CancelledPolicy01.Number;
Thank you in advance for the help.
Hi all,
Our company is currently rolling out an SP2 update to all of our PC's and this problem has reared its head on all of the updated PC's so far.
Basically when someone opens a database from a shared drive, they get an error stating that the file was made by an unknown publisher (seems to be a security warning), they click ok and then can open the file fine.
However, once someone is in the database, if anyone else tries to open it on an SP2 machine, nothing happens, the double click the file and it refuses to open. If they open Access, then click file>open and navigate to the file, they can open it. They just can't double click the file.
People using the SP1 machines can open the database with no problems whether someone is already in the file or not.
I'm guessing this is something to dow tih the SP2 security measures.
To try to sort it out, I made myself a self signed digital ceritificate and signed my macros, thinking that once the macros were signed, it would then realise who had published the file.
The only thing this does is brings up a second notice (after the initial publisher message) which gives you the option to trust content from my signature. Once this has been done once, there's no need to keep trusting it but the publisher message still comes up.
I went into the database properties and under the custom tab changed the "publisher" value to my name "Rob Jones". This still didn't work and when the database is opened it still says it's an unknown publisher.
Does anyone know how to either turn off this check or publish a database?? I've tried google / MS but can't find anything on the subject.
Cheers,
Rob.
I've got a database that tracks name/address/phone, etc for a large group of people. I've recently added the ability to include a person's photo on the forms and reports. I've done that by saving the photos with the naming convention of [firstname]_[lastname].jpg and then using VBA, the database checks to see if there is a file with the corresponding name of the record and displays the picture if so.
It works very well, but I can see where I would have some problems in the future. For example, if someone gets married and changes their name, the corresponding photo must also be renamed to display properly. And if there are any misspellings, that becomes a problem. Also, if James decides he wants to go by Jim, the photo would not be displayed, either.
I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas on how I might accomplish my goal. I know I could name the photo based on the record ID, but that's not a good option, since I'll be handling the photos, while someone else will be inputting the contact details. So I won't know the recordID easily.
Is there some way to have another field in each record that points to the corresponding photo? Then if James goes by Jim, his first name can be changed, but the corresponding picture name could remain the same.
Is there some great idea that I'm missing that would make this process much simpler and scalable? Or do I just have to deal with the maintenance issues?
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me why this sql is not returning all fldProjectID's for selected fldProvinceID regardless of whether a date exist for that fldProjectID in fldReportRec_D??
SELECT tblProject.fldProjectNo, tblProject.fldTitle, tblProvince.fldProvince, tblReport.fldReportRec_D AS [Monthly Status Report]
FROM (tblProvince INNER JOIN tblProject ON tblProvince.fldProvinceID = tblProject.fldProvinceID) LEFT JOIN tblReport ON tblProject.fldProjectID = tblReport.fldProjectID
WHERE (((tblReport.fldReportTypeID)=1) AND ((tblProvince.fldProvinceID)=[Forms]![Form1]![cboProvince]) AND ((Month([fldReportRec_D]))=[Forms]![Form1]![cboMonths] Or (Month([fldReportRec_D])) Is Null));
thanks in advance
I currently have a query set up to pull information from 4 linked tables: Event, Readers, Class and School. The Event table contains a ClassID and a ReaderID. If everything has been assigned properly, there's no problem. If there's no reader assigned to ReaderID I still want the event details to be included in the output. Right now it's not. I'm pretty new to Access so if anyone can help, that'd be great. If you need to be try to explain further, let me know.

I have set up a form to prompt for start and end dates so that users can input their own dates which will return a report that is based on a query. However if they enter 01/04/07 to 30/04/07 it doesn't include the last date.
I have tried putting the following into the query
Between [forms]![formname]![cbostartdate] and CDate[forms]![formname]![cboenddate]+#23:59:59# but I keep getting the following message when trying to access the form.
The expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Hi!
I want to add two columns a and b. However, there are rows in which EITHER a OR b is NULL. This should be handled as if the cell would be zero. Is there any way besides filling in 0s in the tables?
I tried
SELECT a, b,
IIF( a = NULL, b, IIF(b = NULL, a, a+b))
AS c FROM
but this doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I am very much an Access novice, and use the expression builders for my queries. I have a query based on a table and another query. The table lists station names and station numbers. The "base query" includes station numbers plus other data, so I join the two in order to display the station name.
I want to run a query that lists every station by name, then for each station tells how many occurrences of a condition are met in another field for that station. Problem is, if the condition is not met, the station is not listed in the query output, and I need to see the complete list of stations, even those that do not meet the condition.
Here's what i would like to get if there are a total of 3 stations in the population:
Station Name #of Blue Items
Station 1 100
Station 2 1
Station 3 0
Instead, I get:
Station Name #of Blue Items
Station 1 100
Station 2 1
Thanks in advance!

Part of a database I'm developing stores details of events. Each event is funded from a variety of different sources.
There are three tables involved in making this work:
tblEvents - which stores the main event details
tblFundingOptions - which stores all the possible funding sources
tblEventFunding - which links the two together.
I have created a form to access all of this, with the information from tblEvents at the top and the Funding details on a subform.
I have created a query based on tblEventFunding which adds up the total amount of funding allocated to each event. I want to display this total on the form I've developed.
Can I do this without creating a second subform to pull the details in from the Query? I've tried creating a text box and linking it to the appropriate query, but it just displays #Name! - presumably because it doesn't know which record from the Query it should display, and I don't know how to tell it!!
Is what I'm trying to do possible, or do I need another subform?
Many thank in advance,
Gary
I want to be able to copy, or duplicate a record including all the associated records of the subform. The structure is the typical, ORDERS, ORDER DETAIL, PRODUCTS. I want to be able to copy a specific ORDER and generate a new one with all associates products. It would be nice to change one field (ORDER NAME), changing the ORDER name would simulate the "Save As.." command.
The end result would be a new Order identical to the first one (including all sub items) but with a different name.
Any suggestions?

I have a table of events that includes fields for ages, a Start Age and a End Age.
I want to make a query that pulls up how many programs have been provided to a given age group. How can I make it so that the query will understand to include records that have the given age group in between the Start Age and End Age fields? I.e. if I set the query to 3rd Grade, records that start at 2nd Grade and end with 4th Grade are included in the results as well.
Hi there,
I have to format a date following dd-mmm-yy in an expression also containing text.
Expr1: "Text" & " " Date()
Although separately formatting the date is easily done. I need to keep both int he same expression.
Hi there,
I am trying to save my form that i have created as a report by right clicking on the form and choosing save as report. However, my form includes a subform but the subform does not show up in the report. Any ideas as to why this and how it can be shown????

I'm looking to simplify some aspects of our company's order database, including standard notes that appear on the sales orders that we send to customers. We have different lines of business and the notes vary. We currently have several reports, depending on the type of order, with the notes hard coded in labels. It's not an elegant, nor scalable, solution.
Our ideal solution: One order report only, with an option for the user to select one or more notes from a list when they enter the order. I'm thinking a popup form with a checkbox next to each note, where each checked note will print on the order report.
I have a query that pulls scores for this month only for each class member. Problem is, I only need a count of these scores (per person) and because the date is in the query, it doesn't group the scores together and count them as one. i.e. it sees score 1 and score 2 as separate because they have different dates so they won't count together.
The only purpose of date in this query is to filter out only this month's dates. Is there some advanced query expression something or other that will tell it to leave date out of the count and only use it to filter?
I have a columns that do not incur a count value within the time period of my query, yet i still want them to be displayed with a 0 or no value in the query view, how do i do this?
