Live Information In Access
Jul 21, 2006
Hello,
Right guys, new to access but have experience with MySQL.
Basically, i have one table with a few fields, ID, Customername, Rating, Customer_email, Comments, Removalcompany.
I created a query to get all of the ratings from that table, and average them.
What i want to do now is put that average into a table and to have it only showing in one record. I have achieved this, but i would like to have it so that the number for the average rating is live.
This is to be used as a backend for a website.
Any suggestions?

I've set up a product database in Access for my small business. One of its functions is to track the prices of competing products online.I'm trying to get Access to automatically update these prices en-mass, yanking the data off the websites in question without me having to manually enter hundreds of prices each week.
I have a unique record for each product instance as it appears online. For example, there are three unique records for a 4oz hand sanitizer I sell (one for each of my competitors that sells it). Each record has the price, quantity, and unique URL on which the product appears.I'm not great with HTML and don't really have any programming expertise aside from some pretty simple VBASIC.

Since you can add Calindar in access using activex so that I can select any date and pass that on to a field in a form, is there any way you can add a clock using activex so that I can select any time that I want to put in to a field? any suggestion? Thanks.

I have created a database that I am happy with, and I am about to receive information to populate it with. I know I am about to be asked to about security and logging of changes made to the data, which I know nothing about!!
As a result before I get into this part of my project I would like to know myself what is and what is not possible!!
Currently I have 2 tables and 3 forms, one of which is a sub form........ All changes will be done via the forms, adding new records, editing existing records or even deleting obsolete records.
•Is it possible to record any changes made to the live data?
oFor this to happen I presume that I need to setup users and access rights?
•What type of information can be saved if any?
oWhat form would this be saved in and where (a temp table?)?
While typing this a change of plan – if it is possible I am going to start building it regardless, as it will enhance my database.
Thanks

I've gotten to a point with my database where I have split it into front and back ends, and then made a copy so that I have a test version and a live version. I have users in live who've started keying data, and I'm working on forms and tables in test that I then copy to live as they are completed. Up to now, I've been just copying the individual item in test, and then pasting it over the version that exists in live (example: I made some changes to a form in test, copied that form, and then pasted over the version of the form that was in live).
Where it gets tricky is that I am also in the process of designing and insurance underwriting feature that's going to be a part of this application. I've set up all the tables in test, and now that I'm working on setting up the relationships, I'm wondering how I'm supposed to copy the relationship setup into live. Am I supposed to be copying the entire front-end from test when I have changes, and replacing the existing "live" front end with it? And if I do that, will I have to edit it every time to keep the new live front end from sending data keyed into it to my test version (had that happen when I initially split it)?

I am writing reports and queries for an Access database used by a small business. I have a copy of their data and am making the report and query additions to that. Now how do I get my additions to the 'live' system?

Hi guys,I'm new to Access except using it years back but much has changed from the 2000 version to the 2007 version - it's slowly coming back to me though, as it's mostly just an interface change. Although I'm highly experienced in SQL (mySQL) and database design / structure from being a Web Programmer.I'm wanting to store a stock amount for products. Using 3 tables, for products, orders and sales. Here's a real basic layout:productsprodID | productName | productStockordersorderID | supplier | prodID | quantityBoughtsalessaleID | customer | prodID | quantitySoldThe products table is just a list of the products. Sales is where I log what I sell to customers and the orders are what I buy from my suppliers.What I'm wishing to do is use the products table to store the stock of that item so as soon as I make a sale, that quantity for that prodID is subtracted instantly from the productStock and when I make an order it's instantly added.Is this possible, or is there a good way to do this?All help appreciated! :)Thanks,Nick.

I have a table with 4 Fields:
Drawing Number
File Link
Attachments
Description
I basically want to have a live preview window of the "File Link" attachment in that current record. I have heard it's best to use a Web Browser Control when doing this, but I cannot get it to display the currently attached pdf file in that field of that record.
Is there a way to edit the link properties of the Web Browser Control so that it dynamically detects. The file location of the attached file in that field? There will only ever be one attachment in that field, as this will be a live pdf view of the drawing to which that drawing number was assigned

I have a split accdb in Access 2010 with tables/data in the back end file (stored on a network drive) and the forms, queries and code in a front end file stored on each desktop. Note the front end file is common to two back end files. Both back ends will be mirrored but I need to use one for live data and the other for development and testing.
I want to be able to include vba code when the front end is launched that prompts the user to choose between one of two back end files, one 'test' and the other 'live'. But I've spent all afternoon scouring the net with no success on something simple but effective.
As I see it I just need an option on a form and depending on which is selected the following happens:
- links to current/existing tables are deleted
- chosen back end file (test or live) is selected (this has a password)
- links to the tables of the chosen file are created in the front end
- the appropriate back end source is now working with my front end

Hi,
I have a question.
Does anybody know about "MS Access Record-Locking Information"?
And, the file extension is .xxx
Only one person can open the file.
Does anybody explain to me and teach me how to make/solve it?
Or, offer the link about it to me?
I want to know that.
Thanks a lot.

I currently have a database which logs issues that come in to me from the business. The database has been designed to keep all stakeholders informed of there request and for the user to write to the stakeholder with a responce through Access. (The reason for this is so the database keeps track of all responses sent back to the stakeholder.)
However even though i am using a memo box the database will only send about 255 characters and no more. I understand this is the max value for a text box however this should not be the case for a memo box. :eek: :confused:
Is there anything i can do i am currently using the following code:
cmdEmailAssignedTo : On Click
="ID " & [ID] & ": " & [Title] & " Status: " & [status]
My database is almost complete just having this one problem... is it a function within access that can not be resolved?
I will send the database over if needs be...
Thank you in advance,
Jay :eek:

Hi.
Lets say i have a (Yes/No) combo box and a text box.
I have it so if my combo box says Yes the text box must become enabled so i can type in it.
The problem comes in when I goto a new record, the combo box is still enabled.
I have tried putting the text box to disabled in form_load, but then when I go back to view other records the text box is disabled and the combo box is already set to Yes.
How do i overcome both these problems at the same time ??

First time member, Hello.
And sadly i am saying hello with a problem. I am a relatively new user, and i have a amateur(i think) problem.
Doing a booking system, and working in VBA
I want to check if certain records exist by date.
My "bookings" table has 'roomname' and 'date' and 'timeslot' as fields.
My query is:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE (((bookings.room)=" & roomName & ") AND ((bookings.date)=#" & dateStr & "#));"
I need to get all those records, and be able do certain checks on them, but I dont know how to execute that in VBA, so i check the records to see which time slots have been booked.
In pseudocode:
If(bookings.date == #xxx# AND bookings.timeslot == xx)
then 'some sort of action'
In short how do i filter specific records using my query and how do i access record information directly in VBA? research suggests recordsets, but not sure how to implement that
Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,
I have an access file (a Form) that I put in the network and it's accessable thru a web site inside our company(intranet). I setup the database to be on shared mode so everyone can access it at the same time. The problem I'm having is that when someone open the file, access creates another file called "Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information" which still active even after users close the form and their web browser and this doesn't allow me to edit the file if I need to make changes. Is there a way to deactivate this record-locking file? The only way I found out to be able to access the file after someone used it, is having the user go into their Task Manager and delete MSACCESS.EXE from the Processes tab. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to know if there is a way to update information in my Access database via e-mail.
I tried to do this, but when I collect from the e-mail, it creates a new entry in the database.

Hi. I have been asked to find out if it is possible to automatically insert info from a access database into some word documents that require the same info i.e. a title or reference number so that, for example, if the title is changed in the database it will automatically change in the associated word documents.
Is this even possible as I have no idea or can something similar be done?
Thanks for any ideas!

I have a unique "CustomerID" that is an auto number (this is how I link tables, forms, etc.), and "CustomerNumber", "CustomerName", "CustomerSubNumber" that could be null and could have duplicate values.
The first form I have is a Contact Info form where users will enter the contact information such as customer numbers, names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. This then links to an order form. My order form has a place to carry over the "CustomerNumber", "CustomerName", "CustomerSubNumber" values from the ContactInfo table. I would like these fields to automatically populate based on the CustomerID unique number as well as only show the information for that customer ID (including listing out any previous orders).

We are developing a work evaluation for all of out employees on the shop floor.
While Access is way easier to update and allow for quicker ways to gather information, our requirements is that we must display a training matrix. While access has great reporting features, it is tough to get it a format with all users listed on top, tasks listed on the LH side and knowledge levels showing what level each user is at for each task.
I am limited by standard practice on how to display it so I was curious to know if information updated in Access can be updated on an Excel spreadsheet as well. I know in Excel you can format one spreadsheet to update another but I can't figure out away to have Access do the same thing.

I'm working with Access 2007 and am trying to make a form with multiple tabs that will update when a certain business name is selected in the combo box at the top of the form. I have tried looking up different codes to make the combo box update correctly but can't find anything. Right now I have this code in my After Update:
Private Sub cboBusinessName_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo myError
Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "[GrowerID] = " & Me.cboBusinessName
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
leave:
If Not rst Is Nothing Then Set rst = Nothing
Exit Sub
myError:
MsgBox "Record Not Found"
Resume leave
End Sub
Here is a picture of the tabs and combo box.

i want to have a form which, after a job number is entered show a single bar graph of the time taken for that job (DLookUp ed from a query / Table). For example, if the total time is two hours and the job takes one hour, half the bar would be coloured in.
i can do it by opening another form once the job number is entered but I'd rather like the form to be "live" - once the job is entered the colouring in of the bar happens AfterUpdate.
I don't feel as though I've explained this very well.
I hope someone can help.

I wonder if anyone has a quick fix for me. I have two tables in a project management DB that I am making. The first table is a projects table and the second is a tasks table. I would like to have a list box in the projects table containing all the tasks completed for the specific project. However, the current list box is showing all tasks rather than the ones specific to the project ID. The project ID is the primary key in the projects table and the foreign key in the tasks table. I am not sure if/how setting up a filter would correct this or if I just need to adjust the relationships. An example of the DB is avaiable if helpful.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
