Sorry to open with a question but its usually the way, i'm quite an experienced computer user but never used any office products before and just thought i should learn as i'm losing money every week by not keep track of things properly.
So then to my question..
I've made a table to cover all the orders i have had placed, this includes a date column for when that order was placed. I just wondered if it would be possible to have some kind of system where after 7 days without any acknowledgement from me it either pops up or turns red or something similiar. I'm thinking the acknowledgement could be the yes/no box and i tick that when i recieve the item back, if i dont it either pops up or turns red or something :confused:
This is my problem!!! Bit new to Access, so here goes! I am setting up a claibration database for test equipment, what i need to do is to set up the database so that say a week before a calibration date is due, the database will flag this up, say display a reminder!! Can anyone tell me is this possible and the best way to set this up????
How I would accomplish the following scenario in Access 2010. I have created a data base for a funeral home. One of my tables includes the date of death of the individual (DOD) (i.e. 04/16/2014). From that date I want to trigger a reminder to follow up with a family letter 6 months from that date. Would I do this with a macro or would I do this with VBA Script?
I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
I am creating a databse to help people with course registration. I have a form (Classes) and a sub form (Classes Subform). In the classes subform I have the following fields:
StudentID Major PhoneNumber Grade
On the Classes form I have two fields I am concerened about. Seats and a field called Open Seats. If I set the number of Seats (Seats) to 31, I would like 31 to appear in my open seats field. As I add students to the Classes Subform (New Records) I would like open seats to decrease by one. I've seen this done, but have no idea how.
Once this is figured out, Is it possible for the form to automatically change my Status field from Open to Closed?
I would like to have a form that simply has 4 or 5 due dates for certain things. I would also like to have a countdown field that takes todays date and all of the due dates and tells me how many days i have until then. Is this possible? And, if so, can anyone help?
i wonna count down for 20 minits and then autoclose my program. every time there is an activity the counter has to reset. any idea where and how to do it?
I have two databases; a server and a client. The server houses all of the tables, while the client has the tables linked and serves primarily as a form for users to enter data to the main table. Periodically I update the form, so I would like to be able to shut down each client while I upload the new files to update the client. Here is my thinking:
I have a table in server.mdb called admin with 3 columns and one record.
The fields are:
closex (text) - This will be populated when I want to send the close countdown command. message (text) - The string I want to display in a warning popup box. Timer (integer) - The time in seconds before the program will close.
Right now I have a hidden LIST box in the form (closemsg) that is bound to column 1 and column count=3.
Me.closemsg.column(0) is closex Me.closemsg.column(1) is message Me.closemsg.column(2) is timer
The box is requeryed every 2 seconds to check and see if the table has been updated along with another line of code that keeps the time current until someone starts to enter a record.
I have a macro that will perform the close operation. Here is the code I have thus far....any help would be greatly appreciated.
___________________________________________
Private Sub Form_Timer()
'Updates the Time to Current If (IsNull(Agent)) Then
Me!Call_Time = Time()
End If
'Checks for updated values in Admin Table Me.closemsg.Requery
' ------------- '| Force Close | ' -------------
'Message Variable from T.Admin Dim message As String 'Timer Variable from T.Admin Dim timer As Integer
'Macro Variable to Close App Dim macroname As String
macroname = "Closeapp"
'Check to see if T.Admin has changed If (IsNull(Me.closemsg.Column(0))) Then
After designing the database that mean after creating all the tables and when pressed on relations buttuon it shows a diagram with relations established. Is this a kind of ERD. in this it shows relations between entities so can we call that an ERD?
Hi, Im very new to sql so please excuse my ignorance, I ve been trying to do this for a while and not getting anywhere: I have a table that has customer and product data in it. Its super market data. I have a field that has customer education level (education), this holds text, (bachelors degree, graduate degree, high school degree, partial college, partial high school)
and a field low_fat which is boolean (0 or -1), wether the product purchased was low fat or not.
Im interested in the realtionship between education level and number of low_fat products purchased.
I'd like a resultset that counts the number of low_fat products purchased for each category of degree level. Something that looks like this
EDUCATION Low_fat_Count bachelors degree 500 graduate degree 234 high school degree 124 partial college 333 partial high school 124
Is this possible?
So far I've come up with this:
SELECT education, COUNT(*) FROM AllTablesMerged WHERE low_fat=-1 GROUP BY education;
but access asks me for specify parameters for education and low_fat.
Can anyone give me a direction for the following problem please :
I would like to create a yearcalendar that might do the following job for me:
I have 12 firms with different amounts of people working for them. We need to see those people once a year and give every firm an amount of days that they can come see us. Every firm may send 5 people each day but we can see up to two firms per day. So we receive 10 people on a daily base but only a max of 5 belonging to one firm.
I would like to have a means of automaticaly according dates to those firms over a period of one year but I must be able to exclude or instance, week-ends, holidays and so on...
I hope you can give me a start because I realy don't know where to begin
Hello all, I need help with making a query this will check the OrdQty for all items in a specific order against the Sup1inv field, then if supplier 1 can not fill the order have it check against Sup2inv field. Here is an example of the data im working with
The part i am having trouble with is making sure the query "understands" that both items on order 555 are the same order so the end result would tell me that order 555 needs to be placed at supplier 2, not 1.
There are total three tables tblInternal, tblExternal, tblCourses. Table tblInternal and tblCourses is one to many relationship by reference foreign key InternalID from tblCourses to tblInternal. If I just use these two table to set up Master form and subform in ACCESS, you can in subform Field Linker window of subform property Data tab select primary and foreign key to generate link between Master and subform. So if you select user name from tblInternal in Master form ComboBox, you can see the detailed information the user relates to.
Same relation between tblExternal and tblCourses.
Now I want to merger tblInternal, tblExternal to list user name in ComboBox by Union statement. But in SubForm Field Linked window I just see one primary key from one of these two tables instead of two primary keys from each table.
I have created a countdown counter on a form using different Datediff's so to split the renaining time into days, hours, minutes and seconds.
The Datediff compares Now() to a text box called txt.Leaving which has a date/time unputted via a table (Format: General Date)
However the seconds and minutes work ok but the hours and days dont count down inline with the minutes and seconds reducing. The hours do alter when the minutes are 13 mins into the new hour. This would seem to point possibly to rounding off but I would expect that further into the hour.
Below is the Datediff that is set as the control source in a text box and the form it sits on has its timer set to 1000 and the event requeries the text box.
=DateDiff("d",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) & "d, " & DateDiff("h",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 24 & "h, " & DateDiff("n",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "m, " & DateDiff("s",Now(),[txt.Leaving]) Mod 60 & "s"
I have built a Access solution for a music school, It was installed on 3 machines.
I'd like to protect my database from installing onto another machine without my permission.
I did install database as a mde file so they cannot see my codes. However, if they copy the database to another machine (esp. another machine in different school) they can use my software without my permission. How can I prevent this? If they copy the mde file into unauthorized machine, database should work as a demo version (such as limiting the number of records in tables to 10). How can I do this? What should I check, hd id, mainboard serial or what? Is there any ready solution (at least modifiable) for that kind of problem?
(see sig for details on what I'm capable of before you toss code at me ;P )
Here's my current setup:
Table1(Assignments) Instructor <related to Instructor table, pulls data from there) Academic Year Fallcourse# (where # = 1, 2, 3, 4), (course pulled from Courses table) Fallcourse#comp Fallcourse#notes Wintercourse# Wintercourse#comp Wintercourse#notes Springcourse# Springcourse#comp Springcourse#notes
Table2(Courses) Coursename (unique) Coursetype (required, elective) Courselevel (ugrad, grad, MAS)
Table3(Instructors) lastname firstname empID rank
The purpose of the database is to assign courses to various professors and append supplementary compensation and, if necessary, notes to each course assignment. Each professor can be assigned up to 4 courses (or something to take the place of a course) per quarter.
My problem. I have created a quite a few reports with this setup including an academic year schedule, compensation reports for the year, sabatical / course release listings, etc. I am having trouble with what I am hoping to be my final report.
Requirements for the final report: List of all courses for an academic year (filter by year) group by level (easy) group by type (easy) append instructor's name to the end
Report/Relationship Problem:
I can't seem to set the relationship to allow more than one field's data into the report. I can only show courses from the [Fallcourse1] because I can't relate multiple fields from the "Assisgnments" table to one field in the "Courses" table. Effectively, that's what I want to do, but my mind's burnt and can't seem to figure it out.
Maybe you guys could help me out? Suggestions, questions - all welcomed.
I have access db sending report with outlook every Monday.
But the problem is if outlook is open when I start the db, email goes in to outgoing folder and msg box of outlook opens saying " outlook will close after countdown if I do not hit the "DO NOT EXIT" button or "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button.
If I hit "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button, it sends next time I open the outlook.
I am creating a repayment schedule (as a report) and I want to display a series of fields as a column which return (show) a date one month after the date in the field above.
The first repayment date field (Line 1) will show a date one month after the loan was paid out. the Next field below will show the date one month later.
I can't simply insert the "Date + 30" because that would get out of since over the year. If the loan was issued on say the 15th of January, I need the first field to display 15th February and the next would be .... 15th March.... Yes - You've got it!
Now I could do that in Excel, but I don't know how to get Access to do it.
hi all. there's a new db im making and i'd like to add in a 'follow up reminder' feature where; after 1 month of job completion (as updated by a auto update date field) we can give a 1 month follow up call with the customer just to say 'hey, just wanted to make sure your stuff is working' or so to speak. the reminder must say something to the likes of '1 month follow up required for customer vin deisel acct # 5777'... in other words the popup box gotta have the option to capture data from the db as well!
about 2 or 3 guys in here (total access noobs-myself included) are the ones making the db and we'd like some assistance here.
hi! I'm doing a reminder program this program alerts you if you have things to do each day it has a code that I obtained on the internet wich retrieves the user name. My problem is that when I enter as a user a window shows up say my username and the number of things I have to do but I can't get it to count the number of things to do. I tried a query but it doesn't work (either it shows "#name" or it goes all blank)please help. thanks in advance, newbiepr
I have created an email message to be sent via a closing button on a form, using the DoCmd.SendObject command. It all works fine except that MS Outlook then puts a message box on the screen with a countdown bar saying that MS Access is trying to access Outlook and to press Yes if this is to be allowed.
Is there any way that I can disable this message box please. I appreciate that this is more an Outlook problem than an Access one, but some database programmer has probably come across the same problem before.
