I have done a lot of reading on the site and tried everything i could find that i thought would work, but with no luck.
Here is my problem.
I have a single report that based on a selection of a form will print the report for the selected machine. So what i am wanting to do is have a list box with all the machines in it, the user will then select the machines that they need reports on. I would like to then click a command button and have the report print for each of the selected machines in the list box.
So the report will cycle through the selection and print.
I have an existing stock control database that has evolved over the years from the "Inventory Control" sample supplied with A97.
We (until now) supplied spares from one manufacturer. The spares items list was provided to us in an excel sheet and easy to append to a Access table.
We now want to supply spares for two new manufactures who also supply spares list in an excel sheet.
The problem: All 3 manufactures excel sheets are very different in layout format of number etc. and approximately 30,000 lines in total.
The question(s):
> Do I spend ages messing around copy/paste into one "super excel sheet" then append to access or some how have 3 tables (one per manuf.) suppying to one form?
>Can access handle 30.000 records in one table? Maybe a silly Q. I presume very slow on search?
Hello all again! I’ve gotten to the point of making the reports for my database, and I’ve got all the detail ones going, but I need some assistance on the summary report. It seems to be a little over my head. I figured out the coding, but I’d not be able to group it nicely.
Access 2003, and I put the detail into the attachment, as it would be easier to show in Excel. I made three tabs, data format, what I want to accomplish, and how I think it would be done.
Well, since I took the time to re-look at everything, here’s basically what I need.
I can do it in sections (groups) for the divisions and centers, so that’s not an issue.
I can get Month Year for this month =Format$(Now(),"mmmm yyyy",0,0) What’s the format for last month? How do I subtract one month?
Second, for the info on the bottom, assuming I named the date fields [current], [less one], [less two] etc… How would I setup the query to use the fields? I’d like to include the query right in the field. Would it be IF ((Year(Now())*12 + Month(Now()) = Year(cboDate)*12 + Month(cboDate)), SUM([Pieces]) I was shown this formula to check two dates are equal for months and years. I’m not 100% sure if this will work for the SUM of the pieces. For previous months, would I substitute [less one] for Now()?
So, I had planned on making the greatest post ever, now I just hope you aren’t as confused as I am… Sorry.
In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform 'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*" SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject" SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0) Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?
Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details Field name = ID (auto-generated) Field name = FirstName (text) Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter
I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period >Treatment >>Exclude individual? >>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code: Private Sub cmdPreview_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box. Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
I have created listbox with one column (contains one column only), now i would like to display all the characters of list item (want scroll bar to listbox).
How do i display all text of list item, I have already fixed Column Widths to max length (22";0.1"). However when scrolling to right, it is going to next blank column of list box, which is created only to change Column Widths property.
I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg: keywords: look billy magic
list: "have a look and see" "spanish dave" "who is billy brag" "looky looky I go hooky" "who's the man from argentina" "could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column: =COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13)) where "list" is the external data.
I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.
The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain. Setup:
Table1 FieldID = Number FieldName = Text
Table2 FieldID = Number FieldName = Text T1_ID = Number
Relationship Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1. Table1:
If Table1Field = 1st then Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something? Thanks Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec Ruiner
I have a Form that links to a List Box which pulls from a combined (concatenated?) list. The list it is pulling from appears as follows: SELECT [Rank]+" "+[Last Name]+", "+[First Name] AS Expr1 FROM [T_Personnel Information]; My issue is that the Field in the Form that pulls from the Field in the Table defaults to the first name on the list when left blank, where as I want it to default to a blank value unless I select a name from the list.
I have a form with 2 list boxes, part number and modification. There is a subform containing another list box that is supposed to show the part information (bpn,vendor,status,etc.) that corresponds to the selected part number/modification in the parent form list boxes.
The part info list box has multiselect enabled and what i want to is be able to select multiple line items and press a button which then sets all of the selected line items status to "Request Removal". This is my code for the button:
Private Sub removeButton_Click() Dim varItem As Variant With Me.acbModList For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected MsgBox (Me.Status.Value & Me.[Part Number].Value) Me.Status = 6 Next End With End Sub
The msgbox was for debugging purposes. Here's my issue; the for each actually does iterate through each selected item but the value for the line item doesn't change along with it. For example, when I selected 3 items, the msgbox will pop up 3 times but each time will have the same information (first item in the table) even when that item isn't selected.
My next issue is that I am receiving an error message with "Me.Status = 6" stating "You cant assign a value to this object". 6 refers to the id of the status i want to set it to.
How to populate a list box using another list box on the same form. I have this working completely fine if the the source list box has the multi select property configured to be off, however I need it to be set to extended multi select.
I have a list of manufacturers & a list of their distributors. The relation is many to many. How to build one or two tables & to select correctly the primary key.
I have a form where I have two drop down list box.The first list box is called Transaction_Type. It contains three values: Created, Allocated and Sold
The second list box is called Product_Status. It contains 6 items: Allocated, Produced, Reworked, Shipped, To Be Produced, Unallocated.
I have a products form. When a user created more inventory they will selected in the drop down list create, then a quantity. Then I would like the status of the product to update to "Unallocated".
When the user placed an order but doesn't finish it they will choose the status of the inventory to be allocated so I would like the product status to be updated to allocated automatically.
They other status the user will choose them self and do not need to be linked to each other.
In my vba code I have tried with the OnClick and AfterUpdate sub procedures with the following code.
If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Created" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Unallocated" End If If Me.Transaction_Type.Value = "Allocated" Then Me.Product_Status.Value = "Allocated" End If
Yes when i select "created" from the drop down list it does not change product_status to say "unallocated"
I have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.
I have a list box which contains a Field list of all the fields in a query in my database. Is there any way in which I can exclude a column from this list? Each record has an AutoID which I don't want the user to see, but this appears as a field.
I must create a database for the company that I work for that covers the maintenance history of our stone crusher plant. In this database I have two dropdown lists. The first one is for the equipment and the second one is for the different types of parts that has to be replaced or fixed.
Not all of the equipment uses all of the listed parts, but some parts are used on more than one type of equipment.
I have already created a database that lists all the equipment and another one that lists all the parts.
What I want to do now is create a Yes/No box for each type of equipment so I can mark which parts is used by which equipment.
Then you must be able to select the type of equipment from a dropdown list and then select from a dropdown list that only has the parts that is used by the piece of equipment.
I have a list box with names of individuals. What I would like to do is when one of the names is selected it will take it off the list and do this for all the names in the list until all are removed then will reset and have the names avaialble once again. Is this possible and if so how can it be done? Thanks.
Has anyone got, or know of somewhere that has, a good example of a To Do list application for MS Access (2000 version)? I've been looking for something to use to keep track of all the daily tasks I need to perform and haven't got time to create something for myself.
All, I am trying to resolve a problem that I have been thinking about for a while. I have a table of assets containing about 15 columns of data. One of my columns [system_registration_name] holds the data type of the PC for example: COMPUTER-NET-00001 COMPUTER-NET-00002 Are for Networked
COMPUTER-PC-00001 COMPUTER-PC-00002 Are for Laptops
I would like to have a list box in my form that shows all of the assets. But then either with a radio button or combo box make the row source for the list box change. I could do this by manually creating queries that do it. But I would also like it so the user using the form can combine options like: Only Laptops Only Networked All Assets
With other options like In Ascending Bldg order In Descending Bldg Order Asc Room Number Desc Room Number Site etc.
It seems like the only way to do this is to create every single different type possible as queries and setting that as the row source via radio buttons.
Can someone please tell me why this piece of code dosent work. Im sure im missing something really obvious! The problem is that it only works one way. i.e. on the top part of thr code.
Private Sub Unit_Name_AfterUpdate() If Me.Unit_Name = "114" Or "115" Or "213" Or "214" Or "215" Or "564" Or "565" Or " 714" Or "715" Then Me.Check392 = False Me.Check392.Enabled = False Me.Check736.Enabled = True End If If Me.Unit_Name = "111" Or "112" Or "211" Or "212" Or "331" Or "332" Or "334" Or " 335" Or "336" Or "337" Or "338" Or "339" Or "561" Or "562" Or "563" Or "711" Or "712" Or "713" Then Me.Check392.Enabled = True Me.Check736 = False Me.Check736.Enabled = False End If
