I have a database with a table with company names, then a relationship to another table that shows that companies' address, but I also want there to be an address 2 and 3 and so on, and some of our companies have multiple sites.So what Im asking is how would you be able to show multiple data, on a sing record.
View RepliesI have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.
I have a table of every reading of every electric meter. This history goes back a couple of years.
Field1 = date
Field2 = Meter#
Field3 = Single digit code identifying method of reading
The same meter is read multiple times in a year. The number of readings in the database is 1 or more (no limit).
I want to create a single line of text in 1 field that shows a history of the reading method of a particular meter.
Reading method translations
A=Radio Frequency
B=Manual
C=Not Read
X=Estimated
Here's a sample of what I would like to see .....
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a query, and the query has three fields: [PersonName], [PersonDate], [PersonShift]. This table holds records for people that worked on certain days and certain shifts. What I want to do is create a report that gives a graphical calendar display of each day in a month, and on any day that the person has a record (and sometimes there are more than one), I'd like to see just the PersonShift records showing in that day's box.
tblPersons
PersonName PersonDate PersonShift
Jason 4/10/14 FIRST
Jason 4/13/14 FIRST
Jason 4/13/14 SECOND
So if I were to print this report for Jason, I'd get all the days in April laid out like a calendar, and on 4/10/14 you'd see "FIRST" in the box, and on 4/13/14. you'd see FIRST and SECOND in the box. All the other boxes would be blank.how to display the calendar, how to display the dates. I'm able to return records to those boxes by creating 31 separate queries, one for each day of the month, and each query returns records for that day. The queries are added to the report as subreports. It all works beautifully.
The thing is, I'm running 31 queries every time I pull the report. Is there a way to code a single field on a report that will run a SELECT statement on the table using variables that are located in fields elsewhere in the record?
If I have a PersonName field on the header of the report, and I have a PersonDate field in the detail of the report's record, can I create a new field in the detail of that record that runs a SELECT statement on qryPersons, and filters the tblPersons by the PersonName on the header of the report and on PersonDate in the record?
I want a field on a report that runs a SELECT statement on tblPersons, I want the field to return only the PersonShift records for that person based upon the PersonDate. Each of the fields on my report have a CalendarDate field, and I want the SELECT statement to return records where the PersonDate matches the CalendarDate, and again, it should only display PersonShift records.
Supposing you have 4 Tables
1.)User
2.)Admin
3.)Teacher
4.)Pupil
Now the "User" table has the ff. fields: ID(auto num),FName,MName,LName,User,Pass,Type.
Now what I want to do is, if I add a new a record in the table "User" and if the record has the data "Admin" in the field "Type" then the record should also be saved in the table "Admin" but if the data is "Teacher" or "Pupil" then it should be also saved in their respective tables.
Question is: Is that possible? If yes, then how??
Currently we track areas of non-conformance for a fleet of flight simulators. Each flight simulator has a particular ID number. In some instance an area of non-conformance is associated with a single simulator, at other times it is a fleet wide issue and applies to all or some simulators. In order to track as well as advise leadership and the contractor responsible for maintenance of the simulators of the situation we generate individual response letters.
In order to track each instance of non-conformance my idea was to create a new record for each deficiency. In the event that it is applicable to multiple simulators I would like to fill out the form with all pertinent data and then place a checkbox associated with each simulator and when the record is saved, it creates one record for each simulator with a checkbox ticked.
Once the deficiency on each simulator is fixed, I would check a box for a field called rescinded, which would remove that particular deficiency on that particular simulator from the active list of deficiencies but the others would still remain because they are associated with unique records.
I am trying to put together a database that tracks individual clients and what products they selected for a finance company. I have setup the CLIENTS list but because each client will have different (and multiple) services I wanted to add the SERVICES list as a separate item and then link each product to the individuals that each record relates to. There may also be two clients on the one product so again it would be ideal if the product (i.e a Home Loan product) was setup in the SERVICES list, and then I could link One or Two clients to that individual mortgage record using their data which is stored in the CLIENTS list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am building a simplified re-order point system - if inventory position drops below a certain level (the yellow level is this case) one or more purchase order lines has to be created in another table.
I have one table with the following field and data:
ItemId Red Yellow Green Multiple Inventory position
0001 10 30 50 5 45
0002 5 40 47 5 23
0003 11 20 30 10 5
I would like to generate new records (in another table) based on the above fields and three records.Basically the end result should look as the following:
ItemId Qty Start inv Aggregated inventory Prioritization
0002 5 23 28 Yellow
0002 5 28 33 Yellow
0002 5 33 38 Yellow
0002 5 38 43 Green
0002 5 43 48 Green
0003 10 5 15 Red
0003 10 15 25 Yellow
0003 10 25 35 Green
The logic is quite simple - if inventory position is less than the yellow value new order lines should be created in multiple qty (based on the multiple field) until the aggregated value (in table 2) is above the green value.The priotization value should be based on the start inv (in tbl 2) compared to the values in red, yellow and green in tbl 1.
Hi everyone . Please I need help with this
I have a db with 22 records: (A123,B456,C789...Z999) I want to be able to read each record and extract from each one the same data fields and make a big single record out of the reading:A23+B56+C89...Z99 The reason of doing is I want to be able to show on a form the data extracted from the multiple reading.
I tried a crosstable, but gave no much room to work with. I think if I use 22 different queries it wont look professional and hard to maintain. I've being considering better a loop with maybe multiple if conditions but I dont know how to apply it. Something like
newrecord = ""
for x=1 to 22
read record x
newrecord = newrecord + record x
next
Thanks
Hey buddays,
I'm not sure what the definition of this type of concatenation is, so I'm having trouble searching for it.
I have three tables - one is tblNames (with ID, first_name, last_name) with 25 records, and tblStates (with StateID, state_name, state_abbrev) with 50 records, and the requisite join table between them - tblNamesState (with autonumber and the two FKs), because some of the folks in tblNames can have locations in multiple states. Good enough.
But now it's output-to-spreadsheet time, and I want to run a query that will give me 25 records, and concatenate the location records in a single row. An example would be:
first_name | last_name | state_name
John | Johnson | AL, AK, TX, FL
Eddie | Edwards | MA, TX, FL
Sally | Smith | VT, WA, CA, TX
How do I concatenate records from a single column?
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem first of all. I have a form that shows records but I want a button next to each record that will append that one single record to another table that is built exactly the same, which is for historic records. Not the brightest on Access and I can only manage to append all records.
As an example, I have an employee record that have a task, when the task is complete I want to append the record to a historic table that I can look up later on. However, just that one employee and not all that are in the current table.
Hi all,
I already have a form where you specific the date and the store I've purchased something at. I want to be able to add several products I've purchased to a table and define their price, using the same form, so I don't have to input the date and store type for each purchased product.
So, when the form updates the table, it will create a new record for each product, using the product description and price - defined for each product - and using the date and store - defined once - as elements of the record. Is there a way of doing this?
I'm quite familiar with creating tables, forms and queries with the design wizard - not so familiar with using scripts, but I've had a small amount of experience with manipulating databases using MySQL, so I'm willing to learn anything that may be necessary to achieve what I need.

Hello,
I have created a very simple database. I have one form and one table. I have items in the same table as different records that are similar but not the same. I would love to create a link between records to get to these similar records easily. I have read a lot about linking between tables on other things; is it possible to link between records on the same table? If so, any info on where to find it?
Thank you for your help!
Take care,
Greg
Hi,
I'm experimenting with access and I figured I'd try making a small recipe database, and I entered in all my field names like: Item, Item description, Ingredients, Procedure, etc etc. And when I make my form I want to be able to have links in my ingredients list.
So for example:
Item: Birthday Cake
Item Description: Cake for birthdays.
Ingredients: Eggs, Flour, Frosting, etc.
Now eggs and flour in the ingredients list wouldn't have links since they're basic components. But for frosting, I want to be able to click it like a hyperlink and it'll send me to this record:
Item: Frosting
Item Description: Sweet stuff that goes on cakes.
Ingredients: Sugar, etc etc.
I found out i can link fields in different tables together. But is there a way to do what I'm describing above? Linking records to other records?
I tried the idea sugested in post (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=423080#post423080) but it didn't seem to give the cross referencing that I had hoped for .... example 1 is related to 4,3, and 5 while 6 is related to 1 thus implying an extended relationship to 4,3, and 5.
In a standard one-to-many I'd look at record 1 and see that it is related to 4,3,5 but if I were to look at record 6 I'd only see that it is related to 1. How would I set up the table relationships to drill further to see that 1 is also related to 4,3,5?
How do you do a many-to-many from one table back to that same table?
tblEvent
EventID(AutoNumber) EventTitle(Memo)
1 memo content
2 data
3 more memo content
4 some info
5 more stuff
6 other text
tblEventRelationships
EventParrent EventChild
1 4
1 3
1 5
6 1
3 2
In addition ... how would one set up the integrity to prevent loops from forming?
Hello Query Expert
Hi I would like to exclude two specific records from my recordset.
For example suppose I have a Flights Database and I want to see all the flight records for Aircrafts 132 and 232 only, between the date jan 1, 2007 to Sep 12, 2007.
The above I know how to do achieve...
([FltNum] = 132 or [FltNum] 232) AND ([FltDate] >= Jan 1, 2007 and [FltDate] <= Sep 12, 2007)
However, among this set of records I want to exclude flight 132 on Aug 1, 2007 and flight 232 on Sept 1, 2007.
([FltNum] = 132 or [FltNum] 232) AND ([FltDate] >= Jan 1, 2007 AND [FltDate] <= Sep 12, 2007) AND NOT ([FltNum]=132 AND [FltDate] = Aug 1, 2007 ) AND NOT ([FltNum]=232 AND [FltDate] = Sep 1, 2007)
I haven't been able to accomplish this using the query grid. Is it possible or do I have to write SQL?
How would you write this in SQL?
Thanks so much.
Hello,
I've recently been told how to enable/disable fields in a form by ticking/unticking a box. Is there a way that, on a tabulated form, i can only disable/enable the field for the same record as the one the check box is in rather than for every record?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
I have a form in datasheet view that has a user directory with a list of each person. On each row you can click to open another form that contains the users details using the below VBA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "User Details", , , "[ID] = " & Me.ID
But once you open to that specific record, no other records are available to navigate to.
I want to be able to stay on that detail form that was opened and go to another record.
How do I continue to pull up that specific user in my detail form, but also load the others so I can navigate to them from the detail form without having to go back out to the datasheet form?
Hi,
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, it's my first post and I'm new to the site.
I'm currently working on an Access database that stores personal details.
I would like to be able to link the database to a network drive so a user can see all related .doc .pdf .xls files on the network that are associated with that record.
**************************
Here is the ideal situation:
User looks up record with unique ID 123456 in the database
Database then displays screen showing content of S:Users123456 (Where S: is a network drive)
User clicks database record showing "Personal Details.doc"
MS Word opens S:Users123456Personal Details.doc
**************************************
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been thinking of allowing our users to be able to link records together within our database.
We have a CRM system that lists customers and their details of mortgages and other insurance related products which they have. Some entries maybe linked in some way, possibly other family members etc.
My question is, is it possible to perform this kind of action? So they can then see relationships between either related records (ID ref etc).
I'm sure I've seen this in SQL based applications, but haven't come across it within Access.
Thanks
Matt
Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
Cheers
I've been trying to get my head round this one , but i'm just to thick to get it.
I have a continuous form that lists all items at a certain location.
The user selects a record by clicking on the record selector and then clicks on a command button with this code:
stDocName = "DivingInspectionCert"
stLinkCriteria = ("EquipmentID = " & Me!EquipmentID)
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
The user then enters inspection details in to the "DivingInspectionCert" form which i want to store in a table (DivingCert) which will relate to the item. On completion of this form the user then clicks on a command button with this code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no items to Print", vbInformation, "EquiTrac"
End
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "DivingInspectionRpt", , , ("EquipmentID = " & Me!EquipmentID)
DoCmd.Close
When i click on this button, the report doesn't print and i get a message "No current record".
The inspection details are not stored in the table.
I did have the forms RecordSource based on the table "DivingCert" but that didn't work and i have just tried a query but it is still not working.
Would be much appreciated if you can help me.
Thank you
Is there a way to make a form that will display all records based on a single date, at the same time, in the same format each and every time?I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
ServiceDate
RunningNumber
BonnetNumber
Deallocate (yes/no)
Now, I would quite like to keep the form in a style similar to all the others I have, not least as I have to cater for users of all age and abilities, so keeping things as simple. I have attached an image - each row to represent a record basically, I would like the form to open and show the same layout on each day (I would place the textboxes etc in route groups); a null value would not be allowed for at least one field in each record, I could force the records to populate the form in the same way each day?
How to design a form for a table based all records to design in a single form without top to bottom list wise and without scroll bars. Need to form design for all record details are will show on a form as side by side only as horizontal list wise.
For Ex. I have attached the screen shot image as per horizontal wise records continues.
I am creating a database where the records of individual students are to be moved to different table depending on where they are in the graduation process. In order to do this, the secretary will enter the student in the "90 Hr Request" table (think of it as the first step), and move them down the line of tables (4 in total) until the final "Completed" table. Each table in the progression has more and more fields. However, a student (with their ID number as the primary key) can only be in one table at a time.
I understand this does not sound like a traditional database, as the data is not normalized. However, this is being used more as a filing system than anything else. Their data is primarily paper based (for legality reasons), but wishes to keep it organized in a database so they can run queries and print reports.
Currently, I am creating a macro that will run specific queries (in an order). I have made an append query that will move the records over, then I used a update (to null) and delete query combo to delete the old individual record. I made the delete + update query work by using a selected criteria.
How to make the append query move only one student's record at a time.
Hi all, here's a challenge for you:
I'm building an access2000 database for the development department for a nonprofit. The database houses a contact list which is populated by the names, addresses etc. of all the people that have donated money. The organization will often receive a gift from the husband OR the wife - so we want to have 'gift histories' which isolate a unique record (the individual - in this case we don't want to send a thankyou letter to John AND Mary Smith for a gift that came in from ONLY John Smith). However, when the organization has a fundraising event, or wants to identify how much a specific household has donated then we want to run mail merges and reports that pull information from both the husband AND the wife's records.
Currently the only to do these things is a manuel process. We have records for:
John Smith (husband)
Marry Smith (Wife)
THEN WE ALSO HAVE
John and Mary Smith
Therefore, whenever we want to send out a mailing or generate a report we have to delete duplicate addresses from the mail query report, making sure we use the appropriate record for the mailing.
Thus, my question is this:
Is there a way to associate two records from within the same table? That way I could:
run a report for just 'John Smith' OR John Smith PLUS affiliate record.
Send a mailing to 'John Smith' OR send a single mailing to John smith AND affiliate.
This very simple task is actually quite difficult because access doesn't want me to link two records from within the same table. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
- John
