I have a table that has several fields that contain a date if a user is licenced to use a certain piece of equipment and is null if not. Each recor has other data in it such as name, and a unique identifier (numeric). What I want to do is make a list of the fields which have a date in them to create a licence for what they can operate. Any help on which way to go...pretty new at access.
View RepliesI'm new to query design. I have a database where operators will enter readings from 14 different compressors, twice per shift, three shifts per day. In the Rounds table for each record the following fields are included:
Timestamp (includes date)
CompressorID (1-14)
Shift (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Round (each set of readings is a round, each shift is supposed to do 2 per shift, the rounds are numbered Rnd 1 and Rnd 2)
Status (this is one of many readings they will record for each round/machine)
On the paper form it is easy for the operator to tell which machine they haven't recorded a round for yet because the space for it on the form is blank. In the Access form they are simply presented with a blank space to enter a new record. I'm trying to develop a strategy to make it easier for the operator to see at a glance which compressors they haven't entered readings for yet. Management also needs a weekly report of which rounds were done and which were missed.
I'm thinking of creating a datasheet from a query that will list the missing rounds for each compressor/round/shift based on the current date. I think I can put that datasheet onto the form the operator is using to record the readings or perhaps on a subform they can access with a button. I'm having trouble designing the query. So far I've created a query that lists all the rounds for a specific date, then another query that uses those results to list the compressors that are missing a record.
I have a list box that allows multiple selections [Inventory]. I also have a combo box that has multiple selections [Shows].
Right now, user selects from list box and from a combo box and clicks a button. On button click, the items from the list box are associated with the PK from the combo and stored in a junction table. This allows me to quickly associate many inventory items to one show.
I realized that there I currently have no way to prevent duplicate Inventory+show records in the junction table besides having a composite key. This would be fine except no records get inserted into the junction table if there's a duplicate entry.
Ideally, I think that the user should select from the combo box [Shows]. This should narrow down what shows up in the list box [Inventory] in a way that Inventory items already associated with the show are not displayed.
If I have 10 Inventory items and Inventory items 1-5 are already associated with Show 1; after I select the combo box, the list box only displays Inventory items 6-10.
Here's the associated code
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdAddRecords_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control

Hi,
My database has 4 tables. Table 1 is assembly line 1 data. Table 2 is the sizes for assembly line 1. Table 3 is assembly line 3 data. Table 4 is the sizes for assembly line 2.
The table data comes from another program - they are reimported regularly and so I cannot change, add or delete fields from these 4 tables.
I have to change tables 2 and 4 to crosstab queries and then create 2 queries that join 1+2, 3+4. That's easy enough, no problem.
But then I have to UNION queries 1+2. While 95% of the fields are the same, the most crucial are not - the sizes. Assembly line 1 has 5 less sizes than assembly line 2. I need ALL of the sizes to show in the combined query.
I need to add these 5 fields without adding them to the tables. I did manage to create a crosstab query that included the missing sizes, but now I have a 1 in those fields where I need a NULL or Zero value.
Does that make sense? Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

Help - Why don’t my date fields sort in date order ?
I’m having a very annoying problem with my date fields. I have a database that keeps records of patients details and their visits to the practioner.
I have a form based on Patients table with name address etc, and a subform based on a Case Details table with details of visits and advice given etc.
I need the Case Details subform to display the latest visit/record at the bottom (the earlier visits at the top of the list). For some reason I just cannot achieve this. Dates seem to be scattered all over and I can’t understand why ??
I have tried sorting the Case Details table in ascending order, sorting the ‘Date of Visit’ field on the form in ascending order (which does work but as soon as the form is closed and re-opened, all the dates are mixed up again).
In the ‘OrderBy’ property of my Case Details Subform, it says:-
[Case Details Table].[Date of Action]
which according the help I have tried to look at should sort the records ??
I’d really appreciate any pointers as to where I’m going wrong
I want my fields on the report to show up if there is data to show and to disappear if no data is avaliable. Also, will the fields format together or will they still stay apart? I need them closer together for the report.
Here we go.
In the report are months 1, 2 and 3 as well as the label box for each. I need the label box and the data(text box) to disappear when the data box is null. This is where I had started:
Private Sub GroupHeader1_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Not IsNull(Me.Ctl1_Month) Then Me.Ctl1_Month.Visible = True
Else
Me.Ctl1_Month.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
But when I try and run the report I get this error:
Can't Execute Code in Design Mode.
Can someone help as to what I have done wrong or where I should place this type of format?
Many thanks.
I have an image field on a report that keeps showing up even if the field value is null.
=IIf(IsNull([Image_tbl4mgr21]),"",[image_tbl4mgr21])
How to make the white space completely disappear when that image field is empty?
I am building a report that has a header with several details followed by a detail section.
What I need to do is make the entire entry not visible on the report if one of the dates is null.
So it looks like this
last first title id memb # date a date b
1. smith , john fng 8521 2356224
5/12/2012 6/20/2013
10/2/2013 (is null)
2. neckbone, jim dude 2548 85858412
6/20/2013 5/5/2014
8/5/2013 2/31/2013
On the report i want the 1st entry (smith john) not to be visible due to the null (B) Date.... but i want it to be visible once the date is entered...
I have a combo box linked to a look-up table. There are 8 fields in the look-up table but only if one of three is chosen do I want additional combo boxes to become visible. Do I put the code in the "after update" or "on change" event of the combo box and how do I express the code-
If TechniqueCombo="caudal" or "spinal" or "epidural" then
TextNeedleType.Visible=True
(am I close??)
Thanks

I have a table for holding client responses to a questionnaire. 10 of the fields in this table are List Boxes with options "Yes", "No", and "Blank/Other". The "Blank/Other" option is supposed to be reserved for forms handed in where the field has been intentionally left blank. If the form has not been handed in at all, I want the fields to just be NULL. The problem is that if someone accidentally fills out information for a row that should all be NULL, there is no way to correct it. I have tried adding NULL (no quotations) as an option in the list box, but this does not work. I have also tried adding "" as an option, but no luck there either.
How do I add an option in a list box to leave a field NULL?

Hi guys,
i have built a query to find the sums of various fields from various tables. i want to make ONE piechart from all these the sum values... i.e.
Cars - 500
Planes - 300
Those digger things i always wanted as a kid - 200
But the stupid MSchart activex thingy in Access 2007 always wants to Sum/max/be an idiot to the data. All i want is a damn pie chart!
Any ideas?
If it can be done in VB by saying "split the piechart into 3 pieces. One = Cars, two = Planes, three = diggers" - that would be ace
Hi. First of all, this is my first post, so tell me if I'm being stupid.
I have a simple form, 'BuildingID', which contains a list box and two buttons. The list box lists a field from the records in the table 'BuildingID'. The two buttons are 'Add Building' and 'Delete Building'. The 'Add Building' button works fine, but I cant figure out how to make the other one work.
I want to be able to single click one of the records in the list box, then hit the 'Delete Building' button to delete the entire record. So I'm guessing I have to somehow make the record that I click on in the list box current when I click on it, then have a standard delete record button.
If anyone can help I would be very greatful. :)
I have a combo: cmb_TrainingType. The sql is:
Code:
SELECT tblTrainingType.TypeID, tblTrainingType.Type FROM tblTrainingType ORDER BY tblTrainingType.Type;
My second combo (the one that should be filtered based on the Type chosen above) is cmb_Project_Title. The sql I have written (which isn't working) is:
Code:
SELECT tblCourseDetails.CDID, tblCourseDetails.Project_Title FROM tblCourseDetails WHERE (((tblCourseDetails.TypeID)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type) And ((tblCourseDetails.Type)=Forms!frmResourcing.cmb_Training_Type)) ORDER BY tblCourseDetails.[Project_Title];
Both of the tables that are referenced have the fields TypeID and Type.
I seem to remember that there is a way, in a combo box, of entering an entry that isn't displayed in the combo box, so that you can then process that entry into a form's underlying table?
I think the example of doing this was in the MS Samples database for either Access 97 or Access 2000.
Does anyone recall what I'm talking about? Second question, does anyone have a link to those sample databases? Our technicians didn't bother loading the samples for us, so I'm kinda stuck.
Thank you tremendously to any and all who reply..... I'm looking forward to your responses!
I've got a table of associate directors "t_ADnames" and want to build separate tables for each AD name that pulls a pass through query from our data warehouse. I'm thinking it's got to be done with a macro somehow? So it would run pass_query where AD name = "John" and insert into t_john, then it would check the next name in t_ADnames and run the same query for say "Mark" and insert all his data into t_mark and so on until the list (of about 12 people) has been completed.
View 13 Replies View RelatedIn Access, when using Look Up function, Table/Query, how do I make more than 1 field from the query appear in the drop down list?I will be doing the same thing for students and some other tables. But for this example I am only wanting to show instructors first and last name and their ID number in the drop down.
I am using
Code:
SELECT instructors.first, instructors.last, instructors.ID FROM instructors;
in my Classes table.
What am I doing wrong?
I would like for it to show their instructor first and last name but actually put the ID in the field as I will be using that key for various relationship based functions. Show the first and last name to the person who will be using the database, but actually put the ID in the field so I can use it as a common field across other tables.
Hello
Here's the problem:
I'd like to print multiple reports using a button in a form.
I guess I could use something like that:
DoCmd.OpenReport "report1", acNormal
DoCmd.OpenReport "report2", acNormal
DoCmd.OpenReport "report3", acNormal
DoCmd.OpenReport "report4", acNormal
etc
in the command.click sub but here's the tricky section:
Some of my reports (they are all based in select queries) do not contain data.
How can I make access print only these forms that include records ?
For example if the query that provides records to the "report2" returns nothing, I would like on the commabd click event mentioned above, only the report1,3and 4 to be printed. Am I asking too much?Hope you guys understand what I'm talking about. Sorry , if my English isn't too good
Thank you in advance
I'm creating a form where people can choose something in the first combo box [ComboBox1] which results in the second combo box [ComboBox2] displaying only the items that are associated with the first combo box [ComboBox1].
In my second combo box I have the amount of "empty lines" that equals with the items associated with the first combo box. But there is nothing displaying. No words.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everybody,
Beginner here needs help !
I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?
Thanks in advance !
