I would like to know in Acess how to create a Form
Let's say to lookup Products you sold by date in like a month period on a form
To select the items from the list and have it display by that date.
Thanks,

Hi there,
Thanks for having me as a member of your forum!
I'm completely new to all things Access (apart from using databases set up by others!), but now as a small business owner need to set up a simple inventory database.
I've got the database set up and all historical inventory transactions are entered. What I need now is the abiliy to run a report that will allow me to see what the inventory status was on a specific date. I will gladly send the database to anyone that can assist. Can anyone help me achieve this?
I've puzzled over this for days now without success! Thanks for any help that can be offered.

I wish to request if it is possible to design an inventory where multiple shops or branches can be accessed from the same place.
or
multiple shops can use the same program with a centralized database, such that every user can only access his or her report from anywhere they login from.
I'm trying to use an unbound form to enter single inventory items to my database. As part of the function of this form, I'd like to check new items against the current inventory, and perform the function you can see in the error handling code(Which works fine). Currently, when I try to run this I get an error on the syntax of the 'FROM' clause.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub btnCommit_Click()
'On Error GoTo errHandler
Dim SQL As String
SQL = " INSERT INTO [InventoryDetail]" & _
[code]....
I have an inventory of equipment that is assigned to different locations. When repair is needed, the equipment is brought in and swapped with a loaner. How can I update on a form the location change from "A" to "Shop" that will show up on the related equipment table? I have "Location" in the table, but don't know if I need something to the effect of "NewLocation" to assist in showing the equipment swap.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently the administrator of a fairly large network and am trying to keep inventory of all my domain assets. I would like to be able to search for these assets by a number of different ways such as computer name, location name (ie: CEO office, accounts receiveable, or human resources), slot number on my switches (I would like to know whats connected to where), and also what switch it is located on. Right now I am using a combo box to populate these fields but would like to implement a search function instead to be able to search with whatever information I have.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that displays a stock inventory, one of the fields I use is called [ItemCode].
On the Stock_Inventory form I have 10 command buttons that open other forms to display additional product information.
These were previously sub_forms that sat in a tabbed control box within the Stock_Inventory Form but as it now takes a while for the form to load (lots of queries running each time you search for a product) users are getting slightly frustrated.
So, what I decided to do, was move each subform from the tabbed control into a new form and open that form when it is needed by the user.
OK, when I open Stock_Inventory and search for a product [ItemCode = "ABC123"] and then want to see the Sales_History, I have to open my new form, Stock_Inventory_Sales_History, within this form are two sub-forms, each subform has a field called [ItemCode].
However, when Stock_Inventory_Sales_History opens it asks me to input the parameter [ItemCode] twice, I presume this is because the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History does not have a record source and that the subforms need [ItemCode="ABC123"] to run each query and return the data.
I need to pass the [ItemCode] from the Stock_Inventory form to each of the 2 Subforms that are on the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History form automatically.
I've got a continuous form that displays my massive 3,000+ inventory, with the option to filter down to specific categories. Some categories have 5 items, others have hundreds. The design I have used makes it look really tacky once I filter down to one of the categories that has 5 items, because there is no scroll bar.
What I've tried using is:
Code:
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount < 10 Then
Me.Scrollbars = 2 'vertical only
Else
Me.Scrollbars = 2
End If
But it still doesn't display correctly (nobar.png). This is probably my biggest headache right now, and every "solution" I've found, doesn't work.
I have a Db to track workload document inventory.
I have a data entry form that updates a table - the table tracks workload inventories.
Beg Bal Inventory, plus Received, Minus Processed, equals the End Inventory
Users data enter these document counts every day, click a SAVE button and those counts are saved on the table.
The next day the user wants to open the form for that day's document count for data entry, and wants the End Inventory result from yesterday's record to appear automatically prepopulated in the beginning balance data entry field on the form.
I want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).
I'm curious, I need to set a database up to keep track of inventory for a new product. the product requires several materials to build the product. I would like to "forecast" so to speak, the amount of materials needed to maintain enough materials on hand for "x amount of product. Is this something I would use MS access for? Or would this be a better project for excel ? Any help would be appreciated.
If in fact ms access would work, could someone point me in the direction of an Inventory database tutorial?
I've been working on a new project, an Inventory DB..... Everything works well... BUT....... Now I am back to a design issue so I can deal with a FIFO inventory. I have searched the forum and every place else to try to see the prefered method for setting this up..... Can't find much. I have seen using serial numbers, or dates. Neither would work well for what I am looking at. I have thought of using a ID field for Inventory purchased.... Auto number... This would then show the first items in as the lowest number.
But........ What is the common method for setting this up? Any examples around?
Thanks
Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction.... I've designed a couple of DB,s to handle inventory. But I am still stuck on bringing one option in. FIFO! My design for the FIFO will probable end up with the "purchases" table being set up with an "autonumber" field to record each purchase. My problem is still seeing some code to get the sale of items to loop thru these purchase "batches". If anyone knows of an example of this PLEASE post a link for me.
Thanks

I made a seach on the internet and on the forum but I confused...
Till Monday I should have ready I DB regarding the inventory of the warehouse in the company. Till now they were using the Filemaker v.3 that it's not the most appropriate way. So I started creating a db where I have to show:
what get out and what get in,
the dates, and the person took them, and the place that the person went them,
and of course the quantities
but the inventory either gets bigger either smaller, and i have to fix it...
with what receipt no and type the items get out or in
and if we it as a sample
What I have done till now:
Products tbl product number (as listed on the computer), product number (according to the supplier), model number, supplier id, constructor id, description, comptible with (sometimes more than one product), price per item, qnty in stock, minimum stock, comments.
Customers tbl customer id, address, post code, phone number, city id
Cities city id, city
Suppliers supplier id, supplier, address, post code, phone number, city id
Constructors constructor id, constructor
The problem is how I add or subtract things from the products table?
Hi all.
I have been working on an Inventory Database over the past few weeks and I have run into a problem.
Currently I am designing the database to use the common way to calculate on-hand inventory levels (Latest Stocktake(cycle count) + Received - Used). The problem comes when I am trying to calculate this value.
A solution that seems to work is to take stocktake for a given product using the ProductID and date. I have a child table linked to this one to show the quantity and locations of the product. However, with this method, I will have to count the inventory for every location the product is in when the stocktake is taken. This method may work, but accidents may happen and an employee may forget to count both locations when taking stock. Then current inventory levels will be way off.
Is there an easier or more efficient way to do this?

hiya!
Im building an inventory database for my business, I am having trouble implanting an autoupdating stock level.
This is how my database looks like:
I have InStock within the Table - Products
I create sales orders through a form and that is recorded within a Table - inventory transactions.
On this form there is a box to select the type of products and also a number box to input the number of units the customer purchases
I have created an update query with the following conditions
Field InStock
update to -[Products]![InStock]- Forms![Sales Orders Subform]![UnitsSold]
Field ProductName
criteria is - Forms![Sales Orders Subform]![ProductName]
so in operation, i would select product A, enter the amount, that amount will then be automatically deducted from InStock for that particular product
I am stomped about what code to add to my afterupdate field... and where to add the afterupdate field.
any help will be appreciated!
I am wondering how in Acess do I create a Database with Drop Down Lists
So I can search by Furniture Brand and Catagory and by Customer Name to get the furniture each person ordered.
Would this be a one to Many Relationship.
What kind of Coding would I need I wish there was a more simpalar program then Acess
I have some basic knowledge of Access and how it works but when it comes to the SQL formulas and some database structures I have not had enough experience. If someone could please guide me in the right direction with this I would appreciate it.
I have need to setup a database of all equipment in a small room so that I can keep inventory on it. Right now I have a database with three tables in it. An Items table that relates barcodes of an item to the actual item name. A Tech table that contains all the techs that would take from or replace something in the inventory of this room. And a Transactions table where it holds what item, who, and if it was taken or stocked.
What I need the most help with setting up right now is how do I use the transactions table to total up all uses and stocks of each unique item so that I can get an idea of what is actually supposed to be in the room at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
I am try to make an access database to create pallet tags for some package and ingredients items that we purchase.
What I would like to do is after the purchaser creates a PO in our purchasing system he would enter that information (SKU and total quantity)into a table. Someone from the warehouse would then go into this database, pull up the PO number and at that time Im guessing a query would be run on those original lines. This is where I know what I want access to do but don’t know how to get there.
Assuming that we ordered 1000 of an item, Access would look at a table with the per pallet quantities and then create the appropriate amount of pallet tags and create a line in a table with the qty and the pallet number. I would then go back at a later date and enter a lot number to go with that pallet number.
Any Ideas? I have searched and have not found anything on this.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Before you say anything, yes i have spent endless hours searching the forums for what im trying to find. The simple fact being that i can't find anything that fits my situation or i simply can't understand it.
Heres the problem -
I've been given the task, by a family member, to design and build a database. The database is for his carpet shop/warehouse. Being of such a business the warehouse always has stock coming in and going out. The manager can't keep track quikcly enough.
He therfore needs -
- A database of products in stock
- A history of old stock and who it was sold to (which customer/invoice)
- An easy, user freindly, way of entering stock as quickly as possible as it comes in
- A form for orders, which, in the top half the customer information is entered and in the bottom half a products/stock search by the stock ID/number to find the products they are buying. Also a subtotal/total box.
- The stock needs to be deducted from the stock/products list when it is bought and goes into a history database/table.
- Reports based on Orders, with only relevant information, for customer invoices.
- A stock search facility where all stock, present and past, can be searched to see what is most popular according to manafacturer, colour, quality etc.
It is not a shop/EPOS application that i am trying to create. Its simply a stock control system which, as a bi-product, produces invoices and reports etc. It goes without saying that, as staff members don;t have extensive computer knowledge, the whole database must very user freindly and simple and clear etc.
Now MY problem -
I can produce simple databases and can set up straight forward queries/reports etc. But the whole stock update thing really confuses me.
- i dont know what the set-up/design of the database should be
- i dont know how to do the stock update thingy
- i dont know how to create a search facility for products being purchased
- i dont know how to move the stock from the stock table into a history table with the customer/invoice information
- i dont know, qithout creating 10 different queries, how to make a stock search facility which the user can determine the criteria for searching
- i dont know how to make the whole thing look simple and user friendly!
What im looing for guys is for anyone to point me in the right direction. i Might sound lazy just asking for people to help a bit but i have spent weeks trying different things out, using examples, reading books, EVERYTHING. It all seems complicated until someone explains it to me. I dont mind doing it all myself but i dont know where or how to start. Can anyone suggest a suitable design/set-up? Can anyone provide a sample/example i could look at that is very similar? Can anyone help in any ways what so ever. I thought i was fairly good with computers but this proves that when it comes to advanced access im just a noob. if anyone can help a guy in need what so ever please do.
you all sounded really helpfull in other posts and i hope you can do the same for me. please remeber im a bit of a novice so be gentle! Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me with.
All the best, James :)
I need to create a small inventory database tracking product in stock and "x" amount of raw material to create it.
Is there a way, using MS Access that I can track inventory of the product as well as update how much material was used to create the product?
I am new to access but I know how to create a database and enter the fields I want, eg: product id, model number, product color, in stock, re order, lead time.
My problem is associating another table to deduct/or add the amount of material based on totals.
In a nutshell, I want to track product inventory as well as track raw material in stock to create more.
Thank you for any help!
Im creating a db to keep records of computers that have been assigned to persons in their various departments and also unassigned computers and spare parts.
problem:
For the machine specifications table should i put in the following fields as columns
Hard Drive 1
Hard Drive 2
Hard Drive 3
Optical Drive 1
Drive 2
Drive 3
or should i just create a field called Component and another field called type/size e.g. component would be hard drive or opticqal drive and Type/Size would be 60GB or DVD+RW
or should i just create individual tables to store the Hard drive info separate from the optical disk and separate from the memory.
The database is going to get really big which is why i wana structure it properly you r help would be really appreciated.
