When I create a form, it will not allow me to edit or add or delete. I can only view it. Allow Edits, Additions, Deletions, FIlters are all set to yes. Also Recordset Type is not set to Snapshot. Could someone help with this?
Thanks!
I am creating a database for the company I work for. My boss wants it to have every information possible stored and accessible through the one database. Right now the time sheet that we use is a hard copy that the guys fill out and turn in each week. Before the database started I created an excel sheet for them to start using. My boss wants me to link the excel sheet to a table in access. The way it would work is each of the guys would fill theirs out and email them to me by Friday. I would then link it to the table so that we could easily pull information we needed through a query.
I read online on the office support website that you can link a spreadsheet but then access does not store the data and the data if needed to be changed had to be done through the excel spreadsheet. Doing it like that made it sound to me that each time sheet that was turned in each would would create a new table. I was hoping there was a way to have one table with all the times on it using an employee number as the relationship key. The biggest thing though is that the guys have to use excel to fill out the time sheet because getting each guy access is "not an option" .
What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a database that split into the Front end and the Back end. The form that the users entering the information uses the queries from two sources. One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?

I have another question and hope you can help with.
On my form which gets informaiton from a query, I have among other fields an Account field. I have a query, Details, that provides details on the account field, the fields of the query include Account, invoices #s, invoice amounts e.t.c.
I would like to create a button on the form that would
1) take the account # showing on the current form and run the details query based on that account #
2) display the results of the query in a spreadsheet.
Thanks again for your kind help.

I currently have a data-entry form that users fill-out with data (duh!). The data comes an excel spreadsheet that is created during the work-flow process.
I would like to add an "Import" button the field that, when clicked, would prompt the user to select a spreadsheet (different each time) and once that was selected import data into the form (and ultimately the table). The data will always be in the same location (cells and sheet) within every speadsheet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I want to create an access spreadsheet form in which the user can add data, which will be - after being processed - added to a database table. The spreadsheet form is for this reason not directly linked to a database table.
In the spreadsheet that I actually have, I manage to copy paste data from an Excel spreadsheet. However, only the first row is pasted. Access doesn't add new record lines for the other rows of my spreadsheet.
How can I make Access add record lines in function of the data on that is pasted? Or if this is not possible, how can I add sufficient additional lines myself?
I'm looking at importing data into a table from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will only contain a single column of data, while the table in Access will have a few more, some of which will would be will provided from the form the user is using to import the data, and some at a later date.
Is there a way to do this? I've found the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport" command, but not sure this fulfills what I need, as I can't see a way to set variable data.
Here is a brief idea of what my Table would look like, where where the data to import would be obtained from
Fields:
PromoID, DiscountID, PromoCode, AddedBy, DateAdded, UsedBy, DateUsed
Spreadsheet
PromoCode
Form:
DiscountID, AddedBy (environ("username") query), Date ( DATE() )
Note, the PromoID is a autonumber.
I am a novice Access user. The idea is to build a visit tracking database. We are currently using excel to input appointments and outlook for statistics and patient data (as contacts). I am basically doing double the work.
The excel sheet is one week (Mon-Sun), the dates are in the top row; the names of patients are in t/he left-most column. The visit is marked by the name of the therapist. So, if John Doe has a visit from Linda on 08/25/12, there would be a "L" in the cell corresponding to the date and patient. There are also initial visits by the head therapist and there is a letter "IV" in the cell to indicate that.
I know that I can import the contact list from outlook and create a table and I know there's a calendar function.
Is there a way to
1. Create a form that will act as a weekly calendar (with each cell in a column having the same date, indicated in the top row) with connection/sync with outlook?
2. Be able to customize this form: add and delete patients in the left column.
3. Have the form count number of visits (# of total visits, # of total visits after the initial visit). In other words keep statistics of various sorts.

I am creating a customer database for an independent insurance agency. Within that customer database, we have a lookup field that references another table "Carriers". This is where we select the insurance carrier we have placed the clients insurance with (ex. Geico, progressive, etc). This field allows multiple entries since clients can have policies with different companies.
We also have contact detail forms for each of our insurance carriers where we store information like web logins, contact phone numbers, and other notes. These forms are based on the same table as the lookup field.
I would like to create a hyperlink so, if we are looking at a clients form with all of their contact info we can click the insurance company in the carrier field and it will bring us to the contact details form of that carrier.
I have a 'main' table with a Project_Number that links all the data in my db together. I have another table that uses that Project_Number as a lookup field to connect that tables data to the main data. I created a 'main' form that has the ability to enter data for the 'main' table. I want to be able to press a button and have the second tables form pop up and add that that specific Project_Number. I added the button and went through the wizard process. I then added the linking info through the builder. It works fine if there is already data entered for the project_number in that specific field. but if the field is empty, the popup window doesn't recognize a project_number and doesn't add it to that record. below is what I am using. The project_number in the 'main' table is text and the Project_Number in the 2nd table in a number since it is a lookup field.

Is there a way to print a report for only the form you are on.
Let say Iv got a list of customers on a form and I have a query for all the customers.
I am having 4 tables where i enter all the data required. The tables are Project Details, Process Detail, Installation Detail & Cable Details.
Project Detail Table contains:Project Number,Project Code,wBS Code etc...
Process Detail Table Contains : Tag Number, Description, Service, Process values etc...
INstallation Details Table contains : Installaion Item, (nearly 40 items which are commonly used)
Cable Details Table Contains : Cable Number, Type of Cable, Size of Cable and so on
Now I need the form: Process detail containing the information which had been entered in Project detail also. Such as the Project Number, Code etc to appear in the form ( Just to display it)
In Cable Detail and INstallation forms I need some specific fields which are in Project details (project Number, Code..), Process Details ( The tag numbers, Description etc..) to appear as display.
The tag number shall be the primary key which shall be used in all forms except Project detail form. The information in Project details is just to appear in the report.
I could very well do it when all this information was in one table. As a beginer i am unable to solve this. So please guide me.

I am creating a Risk Management Database at work. I have created a tab with options to choose, as to log the risk relevant.
i.e. I have a catagory, subcatagory and then Risk boxes
When saving the record it will save the risk but it will not save the catagory, and the subcatagory options choosen? I have a seperate table for this information to appear, Does anyone know how I can make this happen without stopping it from shortening the catagories down.
I hope this make sense. I am sorry I am a little rusty in Access 2003.
Thanks,
Firstly, apologies if any of the following seems to denote bad database design or a lack of forward planning. It does, but I've inherited it, so I'm stuck with it (for the time being).
I have a Subform (Training_Records_Sub) linked to a Form (Employee_Training). Both forms get their data from tables of the same name.
Up to now, these have been linked on the field Employee_ID. This has been working fine, as all information stored related to permanent employees, so everyone had an Employee_ID value.
Now, however, I've been informed that the system also needs to store information on temporary and contract staff, neither of whom have an Employee_ID number. In fact - for reasons I fail to understand but which I'm sure make sense to management - there is no unique indentifier stored for any of these people.
The best I can come up with is as follows:
Permanent Personnel - Can be uniquely identifed by Employee_ID and Cost_Center.
Temporary Personnel - Can be uniquely dentified by Last_Name, First_Name and Requisition_Number (this last number can apply to many people). I realise that two people of the same name COULD be hired under the same requisition number, but I've been assured that this won't be allowed.
My problem is in working out how to now link the Form and Subform.
Is there some way to use an 'If...Then..Else' statement? Even in VBA? I've sort of got an idea of what I need, but a day of playing with the code hasn't worked, so I thought I'd try posting.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Having a little problem, have searched the forums but have not been able to find an answer.
I have a single db with 3 tables, artist, gallery and arts.
The main form should show the work details for each artist, i.e. each piece of art they have done. The problem I have is I think I have a link or relationship problem as when I try to create a new record in the arts table, I have a combo box which populates the artist name and gallery name and it should then store these details in the arts table along with the rest of the details I enter but it doesn't.
Each table has an autonumber and there is a one-to-one relationship from arts to artist and arts to gallery.
Can anyone help?
New to Access programing and need help please. I have a main form that requires the input of a building #, this takes the primary key spot for all records. On the main form is a monitors field which calls up a form titled Resource Monitors and allows me to input primary and mutiple alternates information. My questions is, how do I get the Resource Monitors form to automatically look at what record (building) is currently open in the main form and automatically adjust the Resource Monitors (building) field to match. I have created a 1-to-1 releationship between the building field in both forms, and created a subdatasheet in Resource Monitors that correlates the entries from both forms. What is my next logical step to make this work?
