View RepliesHeyI'm trying to create a Library database. This involves restricting the number of loans available to each member (currently 3). I need to make it so no more than 3 records exist in that table for each member. For now ive just entered a VB script that has a message box saying not to enter more than 3 loans per person but I dont think thatll be enough, I need some sort of validation for the whole table rather than a field.I know how to limit the returns of sql queries which is all I can find, but not how to limit the actual amount of entries. The loan table is part of a double query within a subform of the member form if it helps :s
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to figure out how to limit the entries into a nested sub form to just one.
for example im making wine collection database, I have a PURCHASE table, a WINE table containing the FK of the PURCHASE PK, and an INVENTORY contain the FK of the WINE PK.
a purchase can contain many wines, but one wine can only be in one inventory location.
I am trying to add all this information with one form. I fill out the purchase details, enter the info of X bottles of wine were in the purchase, and then with one of those wines selected in their subform, i enter the inventory details for that wine. I go select the next wine in the first subform and the inventory nested subform doesnt allow another entry.
I have this code loaded into the On Current event for the main form:
Private Sub Form_Current()
With Me![INVENTORY Subform].Form
If .Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then
.AllowAdditions = True
[Code] ....
My problem is the following: when I receive say 5 computers in a purchase form, I want to register the serial number of each of them in another form, bound to another table.If I receive 2 units in the purchase form, my user should only be able to input 2 records in the serial form (a continuous form), if we receive 3, then only 3 records,I cannot quite figure out how to build this second (serial number registration form), so that it refuses input after the correct number has been reached.

The primary key in tblPatienten is KundenNummer, the primary key in tblRechnung is RechnungsNummer. The relationship between tblPatienten and tblRechnung is one to many.
Now, every patient (stored in tblPatienten) is allowed to make multiple orders (stored in tblRechnung).
How can I assign each new order entry in frmRechnung to an existing patient in tblPatienten?
I have one main table with a list of equipment. I have a second table where there will be a form for damage reports.
What is the easiest way to make multiple entries from the second table correspond with a single entry on the main table?
Some equipment pieces might have dozens of damage reports, while some might not have any.

Hi
I have two tables:
tblHazards:
HazardsID
Hazard Description
Hazard Class
Risk Description
tblRisks:
RisksID
Risk Description
Hazard Class
What I am trying to achieve is to only show records in the Hazard table where the Hazard Class is the same for both tables.
I will be creating a list of Hazard Descriptions and Hazard Class as dropdowns for the Hazard Description field and want this to only accept Risk Descriptions which have the same Hazard Class.
Can't seem to get this to work.
Thanks to anyone who can advise.

My boss has a table with tons of fields on it, he designed it this way because it was easier to add data to one place, but now the table keeps crashing, does ms 2k have a limit to the number of fields in a table??
Thanks in advance.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a report which runs from a linked excel worksheet. Is there any way I can limit the number of rows in the access reports to only show those rows which are populated in the excel worksheet.
Presently, if the excel worksheet has information in say 20 rows, when I come to print the access report it is telling me there are 1067 records and the only way I can print is by selecting pages 1 & 2 of the report to print.
Hi all, I've searched this with no success.
I have a ODBC (Firebird) table linked using a DSN connection which has >300 fields. In Access, the linked table only show 256 fields (max for Access). Otherwise the link works fine. I have no control over the source Firebird table.
What I'd like to do is limit which fields from the Firebird table are shown in Access. I don't need all the fields, but I need some that are at the end and are not linked in the current setup.
I'm very much a novice at using ODBC, but can I somehow use SQL or some other method to specify which fields to show in the linked table?
Thanks for any suggestions,
John
I have to submit a file to a government agency that requires more than 200 columns. Is there a number of column limit an Access table can have?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have 2 tables, the first is for "open" orders (where entries get edited changed and deleted), and the Second is for "finished" orders (where once an order is completed it should move from the open orders table to the finshed one where it will no change and will remain for futre reference)
I need help with the transfering part of this problem. I would ideally like to make a form that allows you to pull up the info for the open order then edit it to finally add the finished order to the other table. Im not sure where to start on this one.

Hello,
I have a table which identifies my database users with the following fields:
INITIALS
USER
TITLE
I than have another table named MASTER with two fields named USER and TITLE. The field user, get it's data from the first table INITIALS. I would like that the field TITLE would be updated with the users TITLE once it is entered.
I know how to do this with a form (I place in a txt box =[USER].[Column](2) but have noticed that it only displays the info but not actually stores it into the field.
Is there a way I can do this directly from the table so that I can remove the TITLE control from my form? Thanks.
I have a table in access which is updated weekly; I need to create two tables from this updated table.
1st table will consist of all the new entries for the current week
2nd table will consist of all the entries from the previous week - an amalgamation of all the entries which are not from the "current week" (table) For example; the table below shows the two entries from last week.
ID
Name
1
Adam
2
Ben
This week I have three new entries New entries
ID
Name
3
Charles
4
Richard
So when I run the same query next week I will get something like this.
Old Entries
ID
Name
1
Adam
2
Ben
3
Charles
4

[code]....
How do I get a query /queries which divides up the weeks new entries and also all the old entries.
I have a DB with 4 tables:
Property (used for look-up values)
Service Type (used for look-up values)
Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below)
Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
Hey all,
I'm having a horrible time trying to get this to work. Basically, I have a database which has multiple tables. All of my tables are being generated with a CREATE TABLE statement. What I would like to do is add a validation rule or something else upon creation so that only X number of entries can be entered into the table.
Initially, I just added a rule that said id<5 or whatever manually to the table in order to restrict the number of entries, but I can't figure out how to do this automatically in my SQL statement or Visual basic. I want to be able to have this check added upon table creation. Surely what I'm doing must be possible.
Am I going about it the wrong way? Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi All,
I am wanting to build a table which consists of all the queries and tables in the database.
I am expecting column 1 to have all the queries and column 2 to contain all the tables that make up the query. So the table will look like this:
Queries - Linked Tables
Query1 - Table1
Query2 - Table1
Query2 - Table2
Query3 - Table1
Query3 - Table4
As you can see a table can be linked to any number of tables.
Now for my actual question. I don't want to have to type in all the queries and tables. I would like to choose any query and table from a drop down of all possible queries and tables that are currently in the database - like a list, where the list contains all the possible values.
I would then select the relevant entry.
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Evan
Hi all
I'd be very thankful if someone can please help me with this problem.
I have 1 Table. This Table is imported and contains data from Excel. It also contains fields I added manually. There is about 20 imported fields (full of data) and about 100 manually added fields.
Then I made a Query of this table. I made some calculations in this Query.
I then created a Form based on the Query. I then made a Combo Box. This Combo Box selects a customer, and then updates the other fields (the ones I imported from Excel) depending on the customer I selected.
So now what I want to do is this: I want the fields (updated from the query) and newly entered data to save to another newly-created table. Can someone please help me with this? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot. All input greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I have imported a table from Excel. The table contains a long list of names and there are quite a lot of duplicates.
How do I remove the duplicates so I can import the clean list into a value list in Access ?
Thanks in advance !
I'm new to MS Access, indeed database design as a whole.
I have been tasked with creating an issues logging database and am having some issues...
I have a table/form that has all the fields I want, including a unique ID, called "Issues". I want to be able to log multiple entries in another table called "emails". The trouble is I am not having much luck. I can create an entry in the issues Form which then shows in the emails but I can't then add another email under the same ID in the "Issues" table.
Is there a quicker way to enter in say 5 entries into a table where they only have one variable differing. There are at least 10 variables that stay the same for each entry with only one changing over the entries. What would be the best way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'll start by saying that I'm not sure which sub-forum to choose, as my question(s) covers several areas, so I have tried with this one first.
I'm currently making a database, which among other things contains a 'Port of Call list' table. I have a form, where I can add data to this table, meaning, that whenever a vessel has left its port, user can update following: Port name, security level, arrival date and departure date.
What I need is two things (it might be more or less the same):
1. When user click a "Generate" button on a form, the 10 latest port calls from the table, should be shown. I'm not sure what kind of control is the best to should the list on the form. Code is also needed.
2. I would also need to be able to print the list. It should be part of a report. Again which controls/which code to be used is needed.
I hope that someone are able to assist, as I have no clue what to do.
Thanks.
