Is It Possible To Automate The Following Data Input?
Nov 8, 2006
Can anyone please advise how I may be able to achieve the following?
The database in question is used to store info about members of a radio control model flying club.
I have a table (members) containing member’s personal details – names, addresses etc and a second table (club_membership) containing membership info in the Fields – year, membership_cat, insurance_cat. Each member has a record in the second table for each year they have been a member.
To simplify the renewal process (typically most members renew at the same time at our AGM) I would like to use a form which lists all members names with a check box (renew) which is checked if the member renews his/her membership. For every member checked I would like to automatically create a new record in the club_membership table for the next membership year (2007) by copying over values for the fields membership_cat and insurance_cat from their record for the previous year.
Trying to get a record entered into a field on table (a) to automatically enter into same field on table (b).Example: Plant database table, input record in plant name field. Have same record appear in propagation table in the plant name field.Played around with relationships a bit, don't know if there is where u do this.Plant name is primary in both tables.
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?
what is the best way to import the data from the XML file into an access database table. The database I am working with has one large main table where all of the main record data is stored. There is a somewhat complex string of queries and reports based off this table that I am concerned about preserving. The problem is that the XML file is not structured in the same way the table is. The headings are named different, aren't in the same order, etc. I cannot use the import method and simply append it to the main table.After much searching around I have found two options:
1) Use the built in XML import method that access provides to create a secondary table. Then find a way to take data from individual fields in the second table and map and insert it into a new record in the main table.I already have the import part of this option working. The only part I can't seem to understand is how to take data from the second table and get it into a new record in the main table under the correct headings
2) Read the data from the XML file all at once and then map and insert it into the main table.I have not attempted this yet. I was having a hard time understanding how to retrieve the data from the XML file in the first place.
So.. which would be better/easiest to automate (most likely via button click on a form)? I only have a small understanding of VBA and even less understanding of anything XML.
hello once again, I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible: 1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work... 2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking?? thanks in advance, *j
How can I automate different printers for different reports on the same MS Access 2007 database, without having to select the printer each time?
There are two reports that are printed on the same database. Previously, I had automated form buttons to print the reports, without having to select the printer each time. This was about 8 years ago, but I don't remember how I did this. Also, I don't know SQL. Nothing against code, but I did not know how to program, and just MS Access 2007 access itself.
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
I want to input data number such as 0.5 in my table, but it doesn't work. I already fill field size : integer with format : Standard with Decimal : 2, but the result is always 0.00 not 0.50 as my expectation. How to define that in my table?
I have an append query that I input a 14-digit PIN number and it populates the PIN field (works fine). In addition populating the PIN field, I also want it to populate the ParID field. However, the ParID field only needs 9-digits (excludes the first 3 and the last 2 - i.e. xxx123456789xx). Is there a way my append query can handle such?
Just a short introduction. I am rather new to this forum and also a beginner to Access development. I am currently working on developing a database for CRM purposes for an organisation.
I have created a form for ease of viewing and inputting data. However, the problem I am encountering is that some of the fields does not allow me to add new entries. All the data seems to be drawn from the right sources and any changes made to the existing data is reflected in the underlying tables but it just doesnt allow me to add new data for some fields.
I have attached a compressed version of the database and I would very much appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance on this issue.
Go to Forms (tabbed) Fields where data cannot be inputted :
Relationship Info - Service, Relationship Info Meeting Info - All fields Client Info - RelationshipNum
Fields where you can input data All the rest are working fine
In my data input form I have several boxes. In one case i wish to allow data to be input if a certain box is marked. that mark will allow any of six boxes to be checked. This works for me. However, in the event that the certain original box is marked in error, how do I allow the box to be unmarked and make the six other boxes closed to input?
such as: (box) do it (box) one (box) two (box) three
box do it is marked. It allows any of 1,2,3 to be chosen. Box do it is marked in error and reclicked to blank. Boxes 1,2,3 need to close up so they cannot be marked. How do I get them to close up?
I have developed an access database whereby multi users are using via front end application. I have split the database into back end and front end.
Problem is each time i make a change to the front end, I have to go to each pc to update. Apart from this, any other programmer can easily see all my workings and can copy my database.
I want an option whereby when i make any changes to the front end, then the user will get the change upon the next login. I was thinking of using the front end over the local intranet web browser. will have one front end and all users will be connected to that. any changes i make will be on that front end and they will see the change upon next login.
My other problem is that I do not want the front end to be stored at the user's end as any programmer can access my tables, forms, queries, reports, macros even if i disabled the navigation option.
I have excel spreasheet that have dates on them. But the dates are formatted as general so they are really only numbers to Access when I link the spreadsheet to a table. I was hoping that I could create an input mask that would make Access recognize that the numer 20070912 is really September 12, 2007. I can't change the structure of the spreadsheet because the data comes from a data service. :mad: But maybe I can translate this number into a date in Access? Can you geniuses help me create either an input mask or some process besides using:
to change the number into a date? I was hoping that I could just create an input mask yyyymmdd and then Access would recognize it as a date, but it seems more complicated than this. I need to use the date() function for further analysis so it has to recognize the number as an actual date. Thanks for your help.:)
I have a query which is pulling its data from a form, which in turn is pulling data from a table. When I select 0.82 on my form, my query runs fine. But when I select 0.826856 from my form the query does not return any result.
0.826856 is available in the table and the pull down list in the form. The data format for all my table, form and query is General and decimal places is set to 8.
Could you plz tell me why I am not able to run the query using 0.826856 ????
I try to input data in table 1 with a form that is based on a join from table 1 and table 2.
I do a right join, so if there are no records for the join condition in table 1, null values are created. My idea is to change these null values, so 'real' values exist in table 1.
Can anybody help me, or show an alternative way to do this?
I have a button that will do two different functions 1 to open a form and 2 input data into the classType field. In order to do this would I need to use a Macro with setValue? How do I do this?? When the button is clicked input “CPP” in to the classType field of the EqTable.
I have a form that sets criteria in a series of make-table queries that go on to power a report. I've set up a macro to first open the form and then run the make-table queries and then open the final report. My trouble is that before I can set the criteria in the form I'm getting prompted by the make-table queries.
How can I stop the macro so I can input data and then re-start it? I tried using a stop macro command but that didn't work out for me.
I have a form, and on the form there is a Provider Rate which is a combo box, if the user select a zero rate, then it has the description please enter manual rate in box below. There is another box which the user can enter a manual rate.
how I can limit entry into these boxes, as currently a user can select a rate in the provider rate box and still enter something into the manual rate box. I want it so that if a rate other than zero has been selected in the provider rate box, then they can't enter anything into the manual rate cell.
