Linking Address Tables
Jan 29, 2007
Hi
I wonder if anybody can help with this problem.
I am setting up a basic contact list, with 3 tables - contact, address and company.
What I want to do is be able to add numerous addresses to the company table/form. Then, when I add a contact, I can go to the contact form and select an existing address from a drop down (from the address table), this will then assign this address to the contact, as well as showing this contacts name on company screen.
I have got this working as far as having a drop down of company names on the contacts screen but I can't work out how I can get the address to show on the contact screen when I select a company name from a drop down list?
I have spent ages on this, and its driving me mad, please can somebody hep?
I think i might need to sort out the relationships, but am getting very confused.
Apologies if this is straightfoward - but would really appreciate any suggestions.
Please help!
Thanks
Brad

I have a form where the user puts in a email address, eg test @ myserver.net
So the link opens a new mail it has to be prefixed by mailto:
How can I automatically replace the address the user enters with the format mailto:test@myserver.net

Designing a table of companies.
Need a field containing the website adresse for each company.
MS-Access 2013 does not offer such a field format.
On a form I can create it, click on it and it will open the website.
But that way it opens the same website instead of different websites for different companies.
I tried the hyperlink format but it did not work.

Hope you can help!
I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
Thanks

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table
ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs
1 Max Maximus 5
2 Min Minimus 0
3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table
ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name
1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty
2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .

I have been asked to design a database to replace our old excel sheet to log one of our customers server builds. It a four noded system and i require a seperate log for each node serial models of parts etc, qa checks.
I intitial started by just using one table but forgot the limit was 255 rows, i need about 600 - 700. So my plan is now to transfer to indivial table for each node. Then, a general table named Main for all my other details.
Although this seems simple, i now have the annoying task of being able to link them all together and produce a single PDF file to send to our customer whilst only entering our system serial number once to produce this.
My basic understanding will be to create a System Serial Number field in each table a link it via relationships, but if i produce a report with everything i need would it input my details for all four nodes? If so how would i set this up?
I will be splitting the database once completed and then making a ACCDE file for my techs to use.

I need to modify my customer table to cater for multiple names at one address.
Should I move all the addresses into their own separate table or leave them as is (name-Address-postcode- email etc in one table) and put the additional addressees into a separate table or is there a better way I have not thought of.

In the Access Table, how does one Find and Replace part of the hyperlink if the Text to display is different?
Example of Hyperlink Editor:
Example of Find and Replace
In other words, I'd like to find FAKESERVER and replace it with C:Users in all 1000 records. Is there any possible way to do this if there is Text to display?

I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks,
Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?

I recently imported an excel file into access. Let's say it contained data for both domestic and international customers. With different things needed from each type of customer, once in Access, it became needed and easier to create separate tables- one for international and one for domestic. However, each customer needs their own unique id - and I need a way to link or relate the tables in a manner that it will not allow duplicate customer numbers between the two tables.

I have two tables called Hardware and Desk. They both have two fields called ChangeID and Priority.
What I would like to do is set it so that if we change the Priority in a record existing/created in 'Hardware', the Priority of the related record in 'Desk', also changes.
How can I achieve this?

Question for someone..... I was looking at the "LinkTables" in Access..... I see that I can link one database to another..... When I do this I can add the table to my relationship window... I have not played with this too much.. But looks interesting. Now, all the info I might add to this linked table is stored in the other database??? If this linked table is also linked to other tables in the other DB can I use those in queries? Not much covered (that I can find) in the Access help files on this sort of thing.
Thanks

I have a table with job info like: job #, job name, job addy.
I would like my end query to look like this: job #, job name, job notes.
I want the query to list all jobs, job names, and job notes for a particular week(we have a weekly meeting on the status of our jobs), so if I were to query the jobs for 6/26, i would get: job #, job name, and job notes for that date as fields in my query.
I am not sure how to accomplish this. Should I make a seperate table that contains job notes? If so, how would I accomplish this and create a relationship between the job info table and the job notes table?
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me for sounding extremely dumb, but I have a question that is really bugging me. I have created a database using two tables. The two tables are called User and Assets. In both tables I have set the primary key to be the field Username. I have also linked these two fields.
I have created a form that is my interface for the database and can add and delete from the table (User). I now want to insert a sub form into my form, that displays the contents of my second table (Assets) and reference's the field Username. Hopefully this will enable me to display my table (User) in the Form, whilst only displaying the relevent data in the subform (Assets) for the particular user.
I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, but I would really appreciate your help ...

Dear all,
I have a question which I think is probably very straight foward for those who know about these things. I have just created a new database, but there are obviously some problems with the design, because when I enter information into a form, I don't seem to be able to access the information through queries or reports.
I have 11 tables, and one single form (I created the tables, and then used the wizard to create the form). The main table is called 'Client Information,' and the key in that table is the CaseNumber. They key in every other table is called something along the lines of 'ClientDetailID,' 'IncidentDetailID,' etc. When I look at the relationships between the tables, the 'ID' field in each table is linked to the 'CaseNumber' field in the Client Information table. However, I don't have any fields actually duplicated between the tables. Do I need to do this? (ie, should I have the 'CaseNumber' field appear in each table, and then the 'ID' field from every other table appear in the 'ClientInformation' table?)
thanks so much, this is probably a really simple problem but I don't think I really understand the whole relationships and linking tables thing.

Hi,
I have tables in MS Access and the same tables in SQL Server.
I want to link the appropriate tables up so that when i update the table in MS Access, it will automatically update the table in SQL Server. I want to do this using an ODBC link.
Anyone with any suggestions of how to go about this?
Thanks

Greetings,
I was wondering if you could advice.
I have 5 or 6 questionnaires and each of these is linked together by a person Identifier number. How can I do it so that all the questionnaires recognise that these tables are all linked by the same number.
Secondly, if I wanted to say, do a search on a particular number, is there a way to do that if i say, searched for that number in a query, i'd get all 5 questionnaires come up rather than have to do a search for each table (ie. one search brings all the results from all the tables up or at least a link to them
What would be great is if you could do it so that you could do a search on say, all who were a nationality and it brings you up all the results for all the different questionnaires.
Please advise,
thank you

Hi,
I have a 'main' database named(A), and I have 2 tables that I have linked from two other databases(B and C). NOTE: I kept all this 3 databases(A,B,C) in one folder named 'Joe' on my workstation.
Here is the issue, every so often when I open my 'main' database, and I need to query the tables in B or C(which I have already linked to in my main database), I get an error message saying something like "path to c:...B is not found." To fix this issue, I have to use the "Linked Tables Manager" tool to relink all the tables again. As you can this, this is causing me a lot of unnecessary wasted time. What will i have to do to have these tables linked permantely so that I don't have to relink everything?
Thank you.
Joe

I have four tables, the main one is like so:
table Person:
PersonID
Firstname
Address
Type ["Host", "Organizer", "Sponsor"]
the other 3 are like this:
table: Hosts
HostID
PersonID
table Organizers:
OrganizerID
PersonID
table Sponsors:
SponsorID
PersonID
Cash
Description
Each person can only be either a Host, Sponsor, or Organizer.
I have established the proper relationships in Access, but my problem is if i make a form to create Hosts say, it will create a person of type host, but it will not make an entry into the Hosts table linking the person's id. I presume this is because it doesn't know that the type field specifys which subclass the person is.
My question is how to get around this problem, can I somehow tell it that type indicates what other table to use, or can I manually insert them? (Since I have an individual form for each subclass)

I have these two small databases for work and they need to have tables linked. My problem is simple. When I have one of the DB's open I click FILE--> Get External Data --> Link Tables... then I double click the other database... all I get is a list of the tables in THIS (not the other) database!... the same thing happens if I want to IMPORT... it wont list the tables/Queries/Forms etc in the selected database on from the current database.
What's going on??
Help! Thanks so much guys
~Nick.
