I have built a form which I can add multiple people to one project but when I look in the table only the person who the relationship was linked to gets the subtable.
Then I researched a Many-Many relationship and this solved that issue, now I can put multiple people on a project and multiple projects on people.
PersonProjectTBL
PersonProjectID *Autonumber*
PersonID
ProjectID
However how do I now make a form where I select a project and associate more then one person with this project?
I think I need to somehow increment the PersonProjectTBL and add to it as I go.
The layout I would like to have is:
Combobox 1: Selects the Project (After Select use a (queary ??)) to load in
Combobox 2 and 3 with people.
Combobox 2: Select a person to load into project.
Combobox 3: Select a second person to load into project.
I dont expect a full answer a link or multiple links is very appriciated, even a search topic of what to look for.
I need to enter workload counts for 10 people, and it is done on a monthly basis. So I have a table of Months (Jan-Dec), a table of names, and a joined table with the months, names and a field for the workload counts.
I would like to make a form where I could select the month and all the names show up so I could go and enter the counts for everyone at the same time. I've attached a diagram to show what it would look like
At present I have a tblData, a tblPeople, a long union query and a report that displays its results. On a form I select a person from tblPeople (another field on that table contains their email address), run the query and report in that person's respect and email the results to them.
What I want to do is add a button which runs some VBA code which cycles through tblPeople, runs the query for each person, works out if the query has returned any records from tblData for that person, and if so - sends them the report.
I have put together some Access 2010 Databases and I am about to embark on another soon. I have been given a request that I can't seem to solve yet so I am goint to ask it here as a good starting point. The goal is to build a database for a magazine. They want to be able to run a report to generate slips for subscribers whose subscriptions have expired. I would like to, if possible, generate reports and send them to the respective clients via email, all with the push of 1 button. I don't want to have to find each subscriber and do one off reports.
I have a form I need to sort based on criteria in a persons record. We sell certain products. And we need the ability to only show the people who have a product. For example, we sell EPLI and WCF. I want to be able to pick a drop down list and it only shows and goes through the EPLI people. How do you do this?
I attached my database can you take a look on how to do this?
I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.
1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?
2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?
3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?
4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.
I am attempting to add a command button on a form that will allow user to browse files, then select a MS Project file to import, then have it linked to the current record (by a hyperlink or icon of some sort) so that clicking on it will open that MS Project file.
I found the above thread and have imported the modules and the fFindOpenImportFile in order to test in my database. I have made only slight alterations to the code, as I am still a novice w/ VB, but may not have done so correctly. In the Private Sub bImport_Click, I inserted 'tbFile' where sample "C:WindowsWin.ini" had previously been, so that it will import the file already selected from the bBrowse_Click. (If there is a cleaner/better way to do this, I would appreciate any help.)
Here is an exceprt from the code: Private Sub bImport_Click() On Error GoTo Err_bImport_Click
Me.tbHidden.SetFocus
If IsNull(tbFile) Or tbFile = "" Then MsgBox "Please browse and select a valid file to import.", vbCritical, "Invalid File" Else If Dir(tbFile) <> "" Then CurrentDb().Execute "DELETE * FROM tImport" 'FileCopy "C:WINNTWin.ini", "C:WINNTWin.txt" DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tImport", "tbFile", False MsgBox "Your file has been imported into the Database." Else MsgBox "Your computer does not have a C:WindowsWin.ini file so the import example will not work.", vbInformation End If End If
I have a form named in the project window that does not exist. It used to exist when I was doing alot of data entry, but now that that is finished, I deleted the form and do not need it.
I have a master list of projects, with project reference number, project name, and nature of project.
I have also got a form for individuals to fill in details of project events, with date, time, name, and two or three other fields - also included are project reference and name. I'd like the name field to be auto filled when the user selects the project reference from a combo box; I think? (the list only shows open projects).
I'd did something similar some years ago in Access 2003 (I think) but cannot figure it out in the version I'm currently using 2010.
I'm supporting some Access/VBA code which includes the following behavior:
When an update is made in a (linked) child form, the current date/time is written to a textbox on the main form via
Me.Parent!txtMod = Now
Likewise, the BeforeUpdate event of the main form updates the same field (and then does a bunch of form validity checks, possibly followed by a Save).
When we upgraded to Access 2003 from Access 2000, a problem erupted:
When the user returns to the main form (by clicking on any control outside the subform), the following message is issued: "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it (etc.)..."
At this point the user must choose between "Save Record", "Copy to Clipboard" and "Drop Changes".
Conceptually, I see why this is happening (though I wonder why Access 2000 didn't flag it). The subform is the "other user". When the main form is returned to, it is "Dirty" (unsaved update), so the main form's BeforeUpdate event fires, and attempts to update the field again (Me.txtMod = Now). Since there is a pending change to the field, an error dialog pops up.
As a quick fix, I replaced the code in the subform with a flag ("Hey, I've been updated!"), which the main form checks on the Exit event of the subform control. But that seems a horrible solution. Surely there's a better way?
Notes:
1. It would be preferable to have the timestamp updated right away by the subform, though having it updated when the subform loses focus is better than nothing.
2. Since a subform is a control from the main form's perspective, I'm surprised that a change to that control doesn't render the main form "Dirty". I guess from a database standpoint it makes sense (the form's table isn't getting updated at all; just the subform's). But then, how does the main form know that the subform has been updated?
3. I tried catching the error via Form_Error. I can make the dialog not appear via "Response = acDataErrContinue", but unfortunately it defaults to dropping the changes (old and new), rather than saving the new.
i have a flag in the back end of my database, which once ticked by me, should chuck them out of their front ends
it runs off the timer of the opening form and looks like thisL
Sub EveryoneGetOut() Const MINUTESLEFT As Integer = 10
If booQuitFlagTicked Then If Now() > dtQuitTime Then AuditTrack "kicked someone out", "main form timer" Application.Quit Else If (dtQuitTime - Now()) * 24 * 60 < MINUTESLEFT Then 'MsgBox "database to close in next " & 1 + Int((dtQuitTime - Now()) * 24 * 60) & " minutes for repairs/upgrades" UpdateStatus "database to close in next " & Int((dtQuitTime - Now()) * 24 * 60) & " minutes for repairs/upgrades" End If End If Else 'Debug.Print "no kicking done " & Now() End If
End Sub
two things are going wrong:-
1) i have one user that it keeps trying to kick out (i see it keep loggin it in the audit tracker) but he never gets kicked out 2) i have another user that doesn't even get a mention as trying to kick out, but they're in it. IT told me so from looking at the network locks (and my audit trail knows they logged in earlier)
i'm a bit puzzled, how can the application.quit line run without making someone quit?
and as for the other user that it doesn't even try to kick out, i'm really really puzzled!
I have a form with a textbox and a button. When the user enters in a number range, I need records to show up for only dates that are in-between and/or equal to the numbers typed in the textbox.
For example when the user types in 4-9, and pushes the button, a display of records will be displayed for only 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (if there are such records). The numbers are contained in a NUMBER field of a larger table.
This seems to be a tough question, and I've done days of research on it and can't find an answer.
I need some help here. I have a table which stores DateOf Birth . I used DateDiff to get the age of persons but what I need is a number of persons within certain age range (0-15, 15-30, 30-50, 50>). How should I get that? :confused:
Hi all I have made a quick db with one table and its needs to be used to enter records and updates to records from three people at the same time. These people are going to be sitting at three networked terminals and entering data to the same db at the same time. I know about splitting my db but will this allow for these people to add and change data at the same time? Should I save the backend to one computer and have copies of the data entry form on all the computers looking at the backend? Or should I have multiple forms in the same location and then each computer open the differnt forms located on one of the networked puters?
Can anyone help me with a problem I have with this database.
I want to be able to assign members (Contacts) of companies (Company) to training courses.
I just do not know how to do it. Contacts will need to be able to be assigned to many courses and many different contacts can go on the same course. I think it can be treated as picking inventory items from a list to make up an order, but I cannot get my head around it.
What I want to be able to do is to go through the courses button, double click on the course ID field to get to the course information screen. (I have already set this up) I want to be able to choose a course and select a member of the company to go on the course by using a yes/no box.
I have set up a course attendance table but do I need a query or something to link contacts of the company to the courses table. Is there a problem with my relationships?
zip file attached.
As someone new to access, this is hopefully easy, I just don’t have the know how. Please any help would be excellent and id be very grateful.
Hi all, I have a form that i use for data input, I have limited all of the menu's how ever the print option is still available. This leads to muppet users printing out the form and using it. There is a print button on the form that prints a report out that lays out the form into a useable item.
So the question is... How can I stop people being able to print out the form?
My search has been unsuccessful due to the search function refusing to play nicely with me and the fact that it's mixing up the problems with using special characters with field names, which isn't what I want.
My problem is I have comboboxes that looks up people's name and has a NotInLIst event to allow addition of new person. It uses split function and concentating query to keep data normalized while displaying the full name.
Access trips over, very hard, whenever there is a name that uses special character, which for obvious reasons, causes confusion. Example:
Mike O'Leary Thomas O'Calloway Janet Smith-Johnson Mary-Ann Johnson
Can anyone point me to a snippet I could use to trap for those names and help Access deal with it accordingly?
I have a database which has a contact table and a flight table joined in a one to many relationship. Each contact may more than 1 flight and I want to be able to report on people that have exactly the same flight pattern. For example if 2 contacts have flight records FlightID 1, 4, & 10 I want them to be grouped together.
I have tried a number of things including a cross tab query to end up with the contactID and then a string of their flight IDs but as there are over 200 possible flights, the string appears as 1,,,,,,,,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,5,,,,,,,,,,,,6,,,,, etc and when I try to group on this it doesn't seem to work. This seems a very messy way of doing it and I'm sure there must be a much easier way!
I am building a database for running a shoot. I want to be able to add Firers, Beaters and Picker Ups to each day. All of those people are held in a [Contacts] form and have a checkbox to designate them as Shooters, Beaters or Picker Ups or a combination of them
I have a form where I can create the shoot date and timings etc. Now I want to add people to the form.
My idea is to have a seperate form with a list of all the Shoot Dates, on the same form will be three more lists showing Shoot Date and ID, List of all Guns, List of All Beaters, List of all Picker Ups in the Database.
You would then select the shoot date from the first list which would highlight, then go each of the other three lists and select a checkbox next to each person that you wanted to attend that day.
I know what I want to do but dont know how to do it!
I've been using excel to keep record uptodate, but i've got more than 300 people to keep track of, so using excel can limit my db.
i'm new to access, wondering if I can get you advice:
Senario: A community temple, which i'm a member of, spend alot of time loggin who is donating and how much, with pen and paper - then update the excel spreadsheet i've done for them, don't ask me why they do it, its sort of a tradition. Evenone pays about £5 per family, 1 pound for each person.
I was thinking if each familly had a reference number, everytime they donate, they'd give there reference number and the database automatically updates with new records.
So if Mr simpson , ref 69, pays £6, the database adds 6 new records; Granpa, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
how difficult is this to do? whats best way to design the tables?
I have created a from containing names and address. On This form I have a checkbox called "MailLetter" and a command button called "Sendletter".
I place a check in the box corresponding to specific people, then using a command button a letter is printed to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE CHECKED.
The letter is a Word document that resides on the desktop.
Here is the code behind a command button to print. Not sure if it is correct:
Private Sub Command2600_Click() Dim WordObj Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application") WordObj.Visible = True WordObj.documents.Open "C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopLetter.doc" End Sub
I assume this can be done through some sort of mail merge?
How important is it to add people's names into a database using two fields ?..ie: [FirstName] and [LastName]. Would it be ok to put their full name into one field if you also had a unique Identity Number for each person in the same table ?
i have created a parameter query which will find a students best and worst time for each exercise they have done. so you enter the student ID when you run the query and it works fine but i have a problem i need to query to find two students in particular and then i have to create a report from this query on the two students identified and this is where i come up stuck. i have tried typing in both student id's into the criteria but this doesnt work no matter if i put and in it or not and im not sure how to get the job done.
I have a database with two tables. One for customers, one for the books that they buy.
I have a field for people's titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms) and I'd like to make a graph in Excell to show the relationship between gender and amount spent on books.
I'd like to just have two fields, male and female to put into Excell so the graph makes more sense than all four titles and then an explanation that Mrs, Miss and Ms must be added together to compare the total spent with the males.
