Linking Tables And Using Forms
Nov 22, 2012
ive made a db to keep a record of my employees and then keep a record of the addresses they attend.each employee will tend to visit numerous addresses in any given day so ive made a table for employees and a separate table for the addresses they visit...i then made an 'employee form' that is generated from my 'employee table' (standard stuff like name, address etc, nothing fancy here) so it is more user friendly...
what i want to be able to do is push a button on the 'employee form' which will then prompt me to add an address that will only be linked to that specific employee.i guess in esssence im looking for a way to link a specific employee to a bunch of addresses, and be able to data entry it on a form..

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me here. been struggling with this for a while.
Here's the brief!!
I have a access 2000Db, In it are are 2 tables, Tbl_Main & Tbl_Customer. and two forms frm_main & frm_customers based on the tables.
I have created a form called Form_main On this i have created a button which opens the form, Frm_Customers.
I want to link each record in fom main with form customers, basically so when i click on the button in form main it opens the correct corresponding record in frm_customers
Unfortunately when i scroll through the frm_main and select the customers button the customers details dont follow with each record. it only shows last record. Each record in the main form should follow with record from Customers table
I have created a relationship 1 to 1 so the data would follow each record but no avail.
where am I going wrong - If i can avoid code then that be fantastic as it confuses me! :)

I am a girl guide leader trying to make a faster way to keep track of my unit's completed badge and program work. I have made tables for every area I need (I started with one table but it was too large to change into a form).
In total I have:
- Basic Member table (main information like their name and how many years they have been in, whether they are still in the unit, etc)
- Program area tables
- Interest badge tables
What I want to do is be able to "add/edit" members from the main form, then go to all the sub forms for their program and badge work -- problem is, how to link them!
I am using Access 2007-2010.

Hi! This may be an incredibly simple query. We have access users and non-users at our organisation.
Although our database is in access, the non-users would like to use excel, so I am trying to set up a link between the two.
I have managed to set up the link between the main database table and an excel spreadsheet, but I also use a form to enter info on the main database.
When I set up the link, I add something to the main database table and it changes the excel document... but when I change a name or something on the form, it doesn't change it in excel.
Any ideas how I can link all of it would be very much appreciated!
With thanks, Hayley

Hi there - I have a database for a conference. I have an attendee's form where I enter their personal details. Then I have another form called Options Form (which I've set up as a command button to open the form) where I can enter the workshops/sessions they sign up for.
As attendees send us their completed options forms, I need to enter their choices into the options form.
TheProblem: If attendee 103 sends in his form, I enter his choices and close out of the options form. If attendee 67 sends his form, I do the same. BUT when I go back to these attendees and open their forms, those choices I had just entered have disappeared.
The Options Table (that I set up and designed the Options Form off) has the following fields:
AttendeeID
FirstName
LastName
Workshop 1
Workshop 2....etc
When I designed the form, I formatted the AttendeeID, FirstName and LastName field to use this same info from these fields in the Attendee Form (ie, =Forms!Attendees!AttendeeFirstName). However, when I tried to find out where these options 'went', I had a look on the Options Table and they are there, but there is nothing in the AttendeeID, FirstName or LastName field - these fields are blank.
Originally when I first started entering the options, it just seemed to Autonumber the choices I entered, so even though I may have entered them for Attendee 103, in the Options Table is showed in the Attendee column as 1, then if I entered info for Attendee 86, the Options Table showed it as 2 and so on, so whatever order I entered the information it put it in numerical order as opposed to the actual AttendeeID number.
What I need: I need to be able to enter any attendee's options (whether they are attendee 1, 26, 200, or 105 - ie not necessarily in numerical order) on their options form and for this info to be saved.
I hope this is not too confusing for anyone and someone is able to help. I would really appreciate it, or if you need further clarification, please just let me know.
(My guess is it has something to do with making sure my fields are formatted correctly, ie on the Options Form the AttendeeID field was set on Autonumber which is why it may have been putting the choices in numerical order instead of whatever the AttendeeID number is. I'm also wondering if I need to set up some kind of relationship between the Attendee Table and the Options Table - but I'm not sure what type of relationship it should be on. I've tried several options and none of them seem to work)
Many thanks

With that top tab chosen, I want to chose left tab wich shall open (in this example) the phone number of that contact.

I currently have 3 tables within a database with student details of three different classes. I need to create a user form that has a dropdown box which I can select a student from one of these tables with a number of text boxes below which brings up all the students details, then once the student has been selected and the correct details are shown then I need to create a button which allows me to move that student from one table to another.

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 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)
