Limiting The Number Of Available Records In A Table, And Recycling/reusing Them...?
Oct 29, 2007
Well boys and girls, its about that time in the week where I have once again come up with a brilliant application for my little Access project, but have no idea how to make it happen.
I will start with a little background info... In the course of the parts recoveries we have different reasons for recovering parts, different people (locations) that request them, and different priorities for recoveries. For example, when a new model comes out, we will recover 100% of the parts for investigation by the factory... however, we may want to take a look at failed water pumps first. In this case, our recovery, until it is complete, will have higher priority than the 100%, otherwise we would not receive any parts.
This is because of the way our warranty system works... It assignes a three digit number to each part number of a recovery (between 1-999). The lower the number, the higher the priority.
So if I am setting up a 100% recovery, I would want to put it in the, say, 200's. This would leave room for an overlapping recovery to be inserted in the 100's where it would divert a certain number of parts away from the normal recovery stream. Then, once a user-defined date or quantity of parts has been reached, the corresponding number goes dead, and any of those part numbers are reunited with the original recovery stream.
Sticking to the example above, typically 100% recoveries would go for say... 2-3 years, where as an in-house recovery might be for 20 parts... Another difference is that the longer term recoveries are managed by the end date, where shorter term recoveries are by number of parts recieved.
What I want to do is be able to auto assign these numbers based on criteria derived from user-inputted data... (i.e. destination, start/end date, recovery type, etc.). Then, when the recovery is complete, whether based on date or quantity recieved, to delete the information associated with the 3 digit number, block its use for 45 days, and then be able to reuse the number for a new recovery.
Whew.
Thanks to anyone who can be bothered to read past the first paragraph, let alone offer any advice.
I'm trying to create an Access database for my college so that our call centre can allocate students to a specific interview time/date. The problem I'm having is that each interview slot must only have a maximum of 10 students at a time.
I'm creating tables for the student details, address and for each interview slot available.
I'm using Access 2010.
How I can limit the number of records in a table to 10 so that when that interview slot is full it informs the user?
I want to limit the numer of times a record can be entere into a table. After a record has been entered 3 times, I want an error message or validation rule to tell me it can't be done.
For my database the business has Clients who they conduct Needs Assessments for, but they only conduct 3 needs assessments. I have a Needs Assessment table with Client ID as the foreign key. how I can limit the number of times a Client ID shows up in the foreign key field to three?
Hey! I'm doing Computing AS level and the coursework is to create a system for "Terry's Turkey". This is basically my first introduction to Access, and our teacher is little to no use!
After alot of work working out things in access and reading alot of books, other than creating the switchboard, theres only a few things left to do!
The first is to limit the amount of "turkeys" that can be ordered. I have 2 tables that this envolves... Order and Customers, they have a one to many relationship (each customer may place one or more orders, each order must be placed by one and only one customer). They are linked by Customer ID. I need to set two limits, I guess by a validation rule of some kind. The first is that each Customer can place no more than 5 orders. The second is that their can be no more than 40 orders in total. A slight complication to this is that a customer can "cancel" an order, in this case its marked as cancelled (theres a yes/no field called Active to determine this), and ideally, these wouldnt be included in the counts.
So far I have the following as a query, though I have no idea how to put this into a validation rule SELECT Count(Orders.OrderID) AS Var1 FROM Orders;
I guessed that to expand this to not including inactive orders something like SELECT Count(Orders.OrderID) AS Var1 FROM Orders WHERE active="yes";
Any help at all would be most appreciated! I have spent many hours pondering over this is and looking at as many access sources that I can! I think this is my last resort :(
I'm trying to limit the number of text characters displayed in various fields on a form. I want it to appear so that after a certain number of characters it then displayed "..." indicating there is now information in a field.
I Have Copied The Text Boxes So The Information Is Automatically Displayed To Create The Client Reference, But Rather Than Shortening The Copied Text Boxes To Show Only The First Few Characters Is There A Way Of Limiting The Number Of Characters Shown In The Copied Text Boxes??
I would like to limit the number of users connected to a shared database. Each user opens a database as the default 'Admin' user. Does anyone know how to do that without user authentication? What event occurs when a user opens the database? How to supervise the ldb file that manages shared usage? I suppose it should be something with the Workspace object.

We need a query in which for each student is allowed to preset a limited number of lectures on a specific subject. For example each student can provide only two lectures on a subject and any more lectures on the same subject presented by him will not be counted. In the above example records 7 8 9 and 11 will not be shown in the query.
I have a field in the parent table which indicates how many child tables there should be at the most. I'm uncertain about how to enforce this. I"m using access as the database to a Vb.net app. Should I do it in access or Vb.net or both.
During a promotion we are running the customers are only allowed 3 entries into the system per day but the users are occasionally putting some customers in more than that. I could use some kind of function that limits the number of times the account number can be put in on a given date. (Or daily)
I have the following text boxes: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time.

I am writing a database for my work environment to enter sample numbers in a predefine batch. My Form contains information to identify batch ID. Attach to this form is a subform which I would like to limit the number of records to 24.
exsample: form : as unlimited records subform: only limited to 24 records within the master form.
Now, everytime i create a new record in the master form , I should be allowed to enter only 24 records in the associated subform.
Does anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this !! Your help would be greatly appreciated.
i have tried to find an answer but can't seem to find any posts that apply.
I need to limit the records returned in a query to 3. Well, that is fine, i have set it to do the top 3, and it is working well, I am looking at the top percentages received in a number of criteria. However we have just discovered a situation where someone has 7 all with 100%, so all 7 records are being returned. I can see why, i just don't want them to be!
The report based on the query requires only three records, in this case we don't care which 3, seeing as they are all equally good, in fact randomness is a boon.
I am a buyer and I'm attempting to create a query in Access 2003 that will list all of my vendors (20 in total) and their top 10 selling sku's. Here are the fields I am using:
Buyer_Code Supplier_Number name Sku_Global OEM_Number Part_Description_English Status C_Last12_SLS_QTY
I have created one Query including all of the above fields as well as the following field, "XP1: GetTen([Supplier_Number])" In this query I have set "Supplier_Number" to sort ascending and "C_Last12_SLS_QTY" to sort descending.
I then created a module, written as follows:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public wSUPPLIER_NUMBER As String Public wNum As Integer
Function GetTen(SUPPLIER_NUMBER) As Long If wSUPPLIER_NUMBER = SUPPLIER_NUMBER Then wNum = wNum + 1 Else wNum = 1 End If If wNum > 10 Then GetTen = 0 Else GetTen = wNum End If wSUPPLIER_NUMBER = SUPPLIER_NUMBER End Function
I then created a second query with all of the above fields, and the criteria for the XP1 field as ">0"
As far as I can tell, this should bring me back a list with the first 10 rows for each of my Supplier numbers... unfortunately it is for some and for others it's bringing back more than 10 rows. The other problem is that it seems to be picking random rows to bring back, and not just the first 10 (which because in query1 I set the C_LAST12_SLS_QTY field to sort descending, should be my top 10 selling sku's).
Does anyone have any idea as to what I've done wrong? I'm pretty new with Access so I may be missing something pretty simple.
Hello again my forum o' saviours, Current filter: WHERE (Assignments.[AcademicYear]) Like ([Please Enter Academic Year])AcademicYear is a field in the Assignments table (duh). In this same query, I have a couple fields (equations and if/thens built on the assignments table) that will need to be used as further filters. I thought something like WHERE ((Assignments.[AcademicYear]) Like ([Please Enter Academic Year]) )& (len([groupwinterbox])+len([groupspringbox])+len([groupfallbox]) > 3) would work, but I keep getting pop-ups asking what the values of the three query-based calculations are. Where did this noob screw up?
Hi, I have a from which is based on a simple query.
It prompt users to enter a booking number and then shows all info they have previously entered themselves.
I did this in order to give them te opportunity to alter the info they've entered earlier.
Now what I would like to have as an option is
to give them the same form, for which they enter a bookingno. and having the possibility to reuse the information attached to the booking.
My question is: How do I create something like this?
Cause if they change the bookingno on the current form, it will not create a new record with a different bookingno but it changes the bookingno in the current record. So what I want is to change the bookingno to create a new record with mostly the same info.
Access 2007.I have 3 tables, T1, T2, T3 and 3 bounded forms to this tables F1, F2, F3..One more table T4 that contain 3 fields that look up (FK) on the previous 3 tables and a form F4 bounded to this table.
I need to use F4 as subform in each of the first 3 forms. So, the "active" FK will change based on form where F4 is used as subform.My actual approach is to lock and disable the field/control that represent the FK at a certain moment.Is there a better way ? Other than to create 3 copies of F4 with slightly differences in the fields arrangements ?
I have created a booking system for a set of resources for schools. Most schools have a membership which entitles them to 2 free sets. I have a booking form with a membership subform (membership table), and a booking details subform (kitloan table).
Once a school is selected on the main form, the membership subform shows the most recent record for that school based on schoolID.I want to display the number of sets they have already had within their membership period (can start at any time of the year, and lasts for 1 year) on the membership subform, so we know how many free ones they have left.
I therefore need to count the number of KitBkID (ID of the booking) in the Kitloan table where SchoolID = the SchoolID displayed on the membership subform, and the DateOut (booking date on kitloan table) is between the DateJoined and DateRenewal displayed on the membership subform (from membership table).
I can do this with a query which works when run and provided with the parameters SchoolID, DateJoined, and DateRenewal.
SELECT Count(Kitloan.KitBkID) AS CountOfKitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID GROUP BY Kitloan.SchoolID, Kitloan.DateOut HAVING (((Kitloan.SchoolID)=[Me].[SCHOOLID]) AND ((Kitloan.DateOut) Between [Me].[DateJoined] And [Me].[DateRenewal]));
What I can't do is get it to run on the form and take those values from the form.From the searching I've done, I'm thinking a DCount should be the way to go, but I cannot get the criteria right. I created a query (KitloanCountQry) so that criteria could come from both the kitloan and membership tables.
SELECT Kitloan.KitBkID, Kitloan.SchoolID, Membership.DateJoined, Membership.SCHOOLID, Kitloan.DateOut FROM Kitloan INNER JOIN Membership ON Kitloan.SchoolID = Membership.SCHOOLID;
I have put the DCount as the control source for a textbox on the Membership subform (but have tried it in VBA too): =DCount("KitBkID","KitloanCountQry") This works but obviously gives me the total for all bookings.
[code]....
Although I have to admit to getting lost in the syntax. This produces #Error.
Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.
I have two tables one that lists accounting codes by county and one that a user will have an entry by county which needs to store the applicable acct code from the other table. I want the user to be limited to the use the accounting codes assigned to their county only when they enter data on the second table.
Table examples:
County Code Funds Spent Accounting Code Date Entered Aitkin 123 $20.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 Aitkin 112 $23.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 Becker 145 $12.00
Give the user the choice to select only the Aitkin Acct Codes from the Accounting Code table.
12/4/2013 County Accounting Code Aitkin 4872727001000000 Aitkin 4842727001000000 Becker 4872727005000000
We want to send letters to clients on behalf of our salespeople on a weekly basis from a list of clients in a table. But some salespeople will have 5 letters go out and some will have 20 go out (depending on what amount the salesperson is able to followup on). I can store the weekly letter quantity number in the table no problem, but I am just not sure how to have the query show 5 letters for Bob and 20 letters for Sue. I know about the "Top N" setting in query design, but not sure how to set it to read from the table.
I have table when I open it I found total number of records 1000 while I get result through query I found that 2 records or more than present in the Table mean in query number of record is 1002. I donot understand why these tow records are not seen in the actual table. and these are not deleted by delete record qurey. While I can see it in select command.
I am pretty new to MS access and have a question that I have not been able to figure out. I am making a database with a form to input the data in to the database. The only thing is I want to be able to search/lookup/record data by the products ID code and not by its record number. For example, product 1234 instead of entry number 1. How would I go about this? Thanks for your time!
I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out. What I want is for a text box on a form to display the number of records within a table.
Basically I've got a make table query which creates a table ox X records depending on how many records in the original table match the criteria. So for example:
Table A has 100 records
Query identifies 30 that mee the criteria
Makes a new table called criteria_met with these 30 records
What I want is for a textbox on a form to display "30" and update whenever the make table query runs (probably via a macro??)
I'm after some code as to how to count a number of records within a table, I then want to have this number returned into a variable so I can determine usages with it, e.g. If the value is < 1 and using conditional statements.
