I am executing a somewhat complex query. The query joins a local table to a third party linked VIEW table and then performs a crosstab transform to display the data in a meaningful way. I have a few other local table joins as well. The query takes about 5 seconds to run.
~20k records are displayed and the interface is COMPLETELY lagged/locked up. I click a record and access will start timing out. Scrolling down is nearly impossible... why would it still be unresponsive even after the query has finished executing?? isn't it just a result set and the interface should be fast?
is it possible touse visual basic 6 for example to create an interface for the finished access database so that I can create an install application for users that do nothave Access.
in other words, I want to have a standalone application through VB 6 that will manage the database application.
I need to develop an intranet site to allow not just read only but write access using either Access 2002 or 2007 (maybe). Does anyone have any advice to which is the best tool to use? I have Dream weaver MX already but I’m not that good with it, I have been looking at CodeCharge Studio 3.1 online Has anyone used it?
My database is looking good now, but I have one question, I dont want users to view it as I do, i.e with all the wizards etc, so how do I create an interface which does not allow the user to view the backend?
I want to create a form and connect it to a MS Access database. Moreover I wish that whatever entries I make in the form they get transferred to the corresponding fields in the Access database. Any link for a similar thread will be highly appreciated
I am not an Access developer so please forgive my ignorance!
We have a Quality Assurance (QA) database (Access 2003) that has a "Project" table.
Currently our QA person has to fill in project data (e.g., project name, project manager, start date, etc.) from within the Access database. I can automate this process by providing the project data from an external source.
Does Access have any integration capabilities which allows it to receive external data, like:
- a command line interface for doing SQL inserts (like isql.exe) - a formal API
I see examples of ODBC use in the manuals, but they are from within Access to connect to an external DB. I want to connect and insert into Access from the external source.
I have just started a new job in Italy!! One of my projects is to create a database for the companies infomation. I have never used Access, and its in Italian, i have zero italian and im finding it difficult to start. Does any one know how do i activate Multilingual User Interface and does it come with all Microsoft Office software...does it have to be installed or is it installed automatically
I'd like to implement something in an app to allow users to create their own ad-hoc queries from a specific number of fields from specific tables, without allowing them full access to the query designer.
I can see how to do it (a form with code that creates the SQL), but I wondered if anyone had done something like this before and had any tips or even any existing code. Have searched and can't find anything, but I suspect I'm searching on the wrong keywords.
Could anyone of you give me some sugguestions on designing a nice/efficent Data Entry interface (Form design) for adding new records?:
I have bound a Form with a table and linked all the textbox with the relevant fields in the table. I created a add new record button through the wizard provided by MS-Access as: DoCmd.GoToRecord,, acNewRec.
While, each time when I opened that Data Entry Interface, the current always pointed to the first one rather than leaving the blank field for data entry. Even I changed the value in those textbox, the system didn't create a new record in the table at all, only modifying the first record.
I know how to write the VBA code to open table and add new records by retrieving data from the Form interface, but I wonder whether there is more efficent solution by combining the default function/facilities from MS-Access itself and some VBA code. Also, it can have some validation before storing data into the tables.
I would like to create a "wizard style" interface to allow users to Select items (staff members) by moving them from a list of "available" staff to a list of "selected" staff (and back again if they change their minds :rolleyes: ). - e.g. Like the Report Wizard, where you move table/query fields between the "Available Fields" and "Selected Fields" lists.
Does anyone have anything to help me out with this, that they could "lend" me ?
Of course I am stuck using AC97.... so I may need to borrow a hammer and chisel as well :D
We having this Human resource system that the company will be using however, the current payroll application will still be used as normal but the update will not be done on the same application.At the moment the current set up is that there a three database linked together that makes up the payroll application but for now one of this database will not be pupolated with data as it will now come from another source all together via extraction or file interface which is the new HR software.
The only problem I'm facing is some of those fields that i will need to transfer over to suit the current set up of the payroll application is not included on that new software file extract and i dont know where to start or what to do because abviously the file interface should consists of this mandatory field.Without seeing the relationship of what I'm talking about do you think its worth continuing this project as those wanted field are not included?And how can we go without these mandatory field?
does anyone know how to get a serial cash drawer with kick back interface to open through Access? any help or a point in the right direction will be hugely appreciated
I am looking to design and create a user interface for my database. Preferably hiding the standard access interface and upon opening the database have a pop up form with buttons to direct users to forms queries.
I'm wondering why the relationship interface is still missing many tools that perform the work more efficiently. The interface misses the following (comparing with what we have in the ArcGIS software)
1. Pan tool 2. Zoom in/out too 3. Zoom all tool 4. Automatic arrangement
Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Sorry I am to bother you. But I was wondering whether it is possible to create a running sum in a query (from each previous record just a simple add up)?
I know how to do in report (it is described in the help function) but for a query I cannot find anything.
I have another table, Transaction, that's based off the Loan Number field on the loans table.
Fields: LoanNumber Payment Type (2 choices, payment and advance) Amount
I have a user form where users can specify the payment type, and amount, based on a certain loan number.
I'm attempting to do this:
User enters a transaction into the database. once the transaction is entered, the Principal Balance field for the specified loan number is updated.
If the payment type is advance, the query will subtract the amount from principalbalnce. if payment, the query wll add the amount to the principal balance.
Here's what I have so far.
The userform updates the transactions table with the information correctly.
My next step is to update the principal balance.
I'm thinking I could use some sort of update query, but I don't know where to begin.
HELP!!
If there is a better (normalized) way to accomplish this, I'm definitely open to ideas. Please just provide a basic example so I can understand. :o :cool:
I have a query that shows part numbers with a total qty ordered for a specified time period. This first part of the query is fine and is made into a table.
I am then trying to use this table to create a running sum with the list sorted in descending order, and ultimately break the list where the sum reaches 80% of the total qty across the whole list. I have tried the following formula and the table has been indexed in the descending order it would need to be in. The IndexAlias has also been created and made into a fixed table prior to running the 'Running Sum' query.
I have taken this formula from the microsoft link below, (Method 2), and adapted it to my query. However, although I have a decent understanding of Access I do not understand the '&' in this formula. Removing this and the double quotes on the end returns an error and leaving them in returns zeros all the way down the 'RunTot' field. If anyone can help I would appreciate it as I am stuck on this.
hey there, i am trying to create running sum in a query. i found the function for a report but not i a query
From MS Access Help: ("You can number the items in your report by using a calculated control and the RunningSum property. First, you create a text box and set its ControlSource property to =1. Then, you set the RunningSum property for the text box. If you want the numbering to start over for each group, set the property to Over Group. If you want to accumulate a running sum for the entire report, set the property to Over All")
my overall goal is to number each Employees assignments that they have. That is Employee1 may be associated to 2 assignments, thus resulting in employee1, (assignment number) 1, employee1, (assignment number) 2, and Employee2 may have 4 assignments, employee2, (assignmetn number)1, employee2, (assignmetn number)2,employee2, (assignmetn number)3, employee2, (assignmetn number)4.
Does anyon ehave any experience of running totals in an access query. I'm reporting the data through excel not access reports so need a query not a report solution..
What I would like is to have an additional column which keeps a monthly summary of spend based on running total month 1to 12. All items have months 1 - 12 and are ordered in that fashion.
Hi - Once again I'm asking for your assistance. Ideally, below is how the form (and eventually a report) would look; the first three fields (ID, Date & Vol) I currently have in a table (tblMaster):
I am helping a company reorganize its employee data to reflect recent changes in the company's organization. It involves a lot of data manipulation that, for the most part, can't be done programatically.
I can save a little time using SQL update queries like this:
update personnel set Department = "Support Staff" where Jobtitle="Shipper" update personnel set Department = "Maintenance" where Jobtitle="Mechanic" update personnel set Department = "Regional" where Jobtitle="HR Manager"
I have prepared a text file containing 530 such queries that can be pasted into Access. But as much time as that saves me, it is still a day or two of cutting and pasting.
What would be the best way to talk Access into running all the queries, without having to paste in every one individually?
Is there a way to run a query with macros? I don't want to open it. I just want to run it, generate a report which will then be sent via email. How do I go about it?
