Making One Form Input To Many Tables
Jul 11, 2006
Hi there, i have a database i am setting up with 4 tables and am trying to think of the best way to input new data into it. All the tables are linked and its all based on printers. When a new printer is brought if it exists in the database then thats cool it just needs a Printer number assigned to it and the database will do the rest looking up printer model and what cartridges it requires. But if u add a model for a HP printer for example you need to add the model number to the tblink and create new cartridges and use the cartid to link the modelID i hope u get the picture!? lol there is a pdf i have created using onenote with screen dumps and comments about what i need it to do. If anyone has some advice or help it would be very greatful! Thanx mike

Is there a way to make my input mask permanent when it is stored in my table?
So my input mask is !A-00-000;;_
and now I'm trying to write a search query that will search these records but I can't figure out how to make the dashes (-) permanent. When I do my search I want to type in X-12-123 not X12123. I know the back slashes made the dashes literal, and they appear in the table, but it's still as if they are just there for show and nothing else.

I have been trying to figure out how to make a main menu that link to certain tables I have. I want the links to go to the tables/forms so that they can be edited, but I don't want the user to be able to enter design view. I have attached an image of what I want to have below.

Hi, I have a big problem. Here is the business rule, I am trying to track meeging request(MR) made. A meeting request is made by a manager,MR can include many analysts, and MR involves 1 project. I need to generate several reports from the MR information so I am trying to make sure the info is inputed correctly. I am trying to creat an input form for the MR table (tblMR) The input form is going to contain all the fields from the tblMR except the manager_ID and and the Project_ID, I am also going to have it track which analysts attended the meeting(1 or more). The problem I am having is in creating the form but having the analyst, manager, project values come from their own tables but after selecting them through combo box or list box, for values of Manager_ID and Project_ID to be entered in the tblMR. And for the analyst involved to be stored in a a composit table called tblMR-Analyst. this table will help me track how many meeting each analyst has been to. Any suggestions will help.

I have a database with 88 tables that have 5 fields each. Each field has the same name in every table. The ideal situation would be to have a single table to hold the data currently stored in the 88 tables but each table holds different information. Each of the 88 tables is related to 3 additional tables that hold header information. Needless to say the header info will be identical for each entry of the 88 tables. Access is limited to 256 fields per form so having all fields in a single form has not worked this far. Splitting the forms into groups of tables somewhat works but the header info needs to be inputed every time and it creates duplicate info. Creating a single form with multiple tabs does not work due to the 256 field limitation.

I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.

Hello,
I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
--Robert

Hello,
I'm creating a database for a home builder to track a lot of info, but mainly: house info, prospect info, actual customer info, and contract info.
My main tables are:
tblCustomers
CustID PK
(a bunch of customer fields)
tblHouses
HouseID PK
(a bunch of house fields)
tblContracts
ContractID PK
CustID FK
HouseID FK
(a bunch of contract fields)
The releationships are as follows:
One house can have many contracts
One customer can have many contracts
I thought I could use one table, tblCustomers, to track the prospect info and actual customer info, as so much of it will be identical (technically someone should be entered as a prospect before they can be a customer, and all info will be the same for both except for extra information fields for prospects, but I always want to be able to refer back to those fields) and I would know a prospect became an actual customer because at least one contract in the tblContracts would have their CustID associated with it.
Is it acceptable to have two foreign keys in tblContracts? And am I missing something that should exist between House and Customer? House and Customer are only releated when there is a Contract, so it is implied (I think) that a Customer can be associated with many different houses through many different contracts. Is that the right way to look at it?
I've come up against a wall regarding linking two forms so that the second form displays the data associated with what was showing on the first form. If I'm good here with the tables I suppose I'll post my detailed question in the forms area.
Thank you so much!:o

Hello,
I want to comine the following queries into one so that I can alter the parameters from a webpage.
I have a users table that has the department in and I have a TimeTable Table which has dates and option codes.
I need to select everybody in a department in the example it's Logistics.
I then want to link these people to the timeTable Table based upon a field.
The problen is that I want to select only a specific week. I can do this using two queries but that isn't going to work in ASP.
The Results should be as follows:
Person Date Option
A
B 01/10/2005 1
B 02/10/2005 2
C 01/10/2005 1
The two Queries look as follows:
SELECT TimeTable.*
FROM TimeTable
WHERE (((TimeTable.Date)>=#10/24/2005# And (TimeTable.Date)<=#10/30/2005#));
The above is then saved as Query1
SELECT Users.*, Query1.*, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date
FROM Query1 RIGHT JOIN Users ON Query1.UserID = Users.ID
WHERE (((Users.Department)="Logistics"))
ORDER BY Users.Surname, Users.Firstname, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date;
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Matt

I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?

I've been doing some reading on multivalue fields and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My question: Is there a way to use the multivalue field without making it a lookup? I need the user to be able to put multiple values in a field but can't limit them to a list. The field that needs multiple values happens to be for SKU numbers from a large department store franchise.
One work around I've come up with is to have a pop up that asks for the separate sku numbers so they can be used for the value list each time, but then the user also would have to select those from the value list in order to enter it.... too many end user steps.
I want to avoid making 10-15 different fields each for SKU number, Item, and cost... I also need to avoid having to populate my db with the department store's full list of products...

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.

I am trying to make my primary key in my table a calculated field.
I want the field to be subject + catalog + topic no. The only problem is that there is not always a topic no.
How would I write this expression?

Im trying to create a database to track who worked on what item and on what date, with four tasks required to complete the item.To give an example:I have a factory that builds Lego models, for each model there are four steps:
1)Unbox Parts
2)Sort Parts
3)Build
4)Check build
Any employee can work on any task, and multiple tasks can be done by the same employee.Having a completed item table with a field for each task, and a date for each task, with one to many relationships from employee id to each task type. This failed as I needed many to many, so I made a junction table to link them, and this is where I get a little muddled.
Do I need a table of task types, then a table tracking each task to feed into the item table, or is there a simple solution I'm overlooking?

I've inherited a data base which has the address details of our members spread across multi fields i.e. Add 1, Add2, Add 3, Post town, Post code etc.
Not all the fields contain information which means when I do a mail merge for address labels there are blank lines.
I would like to either be able to create a single field in the table (like a memo field for example) which contains all the address detail, or create a mail merge without blank lines.

I have two tables containing data from two separate sources. The unique "link" between the two is a JobNumber field. I need to set up a relationship between the two tables using the JobNumber field.
Problem:
In one table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-01
In 2nd table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-1
How can I tie these when the 2nd table is missing the "0"?

I have imported 3 different excel worksheets into Access. I then created a query in which I made some relationships and select the fields that I need to make a new table. The problem is, when I run the table the final product is missing about 20,000 rows of data. I have used this protocol successfully for other other files, but for some reason, with this dataset Access is pasting 10,000 rows into the new table, where the original file has 39,000.

I am having a problem with making a textbox visible on a form if a checkbox is checked on the same form. I have done research on this site and have written the code below, but I am getting a Syntax error, see yellow highlight.
- My checkbox is named: Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP
- My textbox is named: Date of Current IP Admission (I have defaulted this textbox to not visible).
Here's the code I have written:
Private Sub Case_is_a_Readmission_from_WRCA_IP_to_WRCA_IP_Clic k()
If Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP =true then
Date of Current IP Admission.visible=true
Else
Date of Current IP Admission.visible=false
[Code] .....

i am very new to access. Logic and method needed in order to create a data base that records weekly orders.
What types of tables do i need?
How can i input more than one product per order?
How do o group the information in a organized way?
Ideally i would like to Input the clients name the week of the order and then all the products etc that are ordered.
Then be able to see in an orders table each client that made an order and a subdatasheet (the small plus in the corner) that once clicked i see all the products that are in that order?

I am sure the solution is pretty easy but this problem has stumped me for a good few weeks.
I have a simple Excel spreadsheet with a column for town and a column for the price to deliver to that town. An autofilter allows the user to select the town, which will then display the price.
I want to add this feature to an Access database but am struggling to implement it into a form. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many Thanks
Steve
