More Noobish FMP-to-Access Education Required

Oct 31, 2007

Alright, preparing my final report for this database. (yay)

I need to combine some fields and raw text in a report to make a business letter. Easy enough. In Filemaker Pro, one would simply make a "calculation field" and the calculation would look something like this:

Paragraph 1:
"Your book, "&<book name field>&"has been adopted for the course"&<course name field>...

So on and so forth. Then I go to the report view, place the fields, bob's your uncle. I have learned that it's not so straight forward in access. I have tried to make a field and changed its "control" to a formula I created in the expression builder, but it keeps resetting like I didn't do anything.

Anyone willing to point me in the right direction?

Advice Required With Access Data Pages

Jan 29, 2006

Hi,
I'm currently putting together a database for a medical NGO in Cambodia (http://www.medicorps.com/updates/cambodia.html) and am looking for some advice. The simple database is for logging client referral cases by Cambodian doctors to a team of international doctors. I haven't used access in 10 months and despite programming in access for 5 years progress is very slow. At the moment I'm designing the input and search forms. I was thinking that a more logical approach would be to convert the forms to access data pages and put the database online. I haven't used data access pages but from what i know their fairly limited?
The goal would be the ability to log/search the data with auto updated pull downlist based on the actual data. Ultimately I want the data compiled and emailed to a email list from withing the website. The trouble is I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Access, Required Fields, Forms & ODBC

Jan 28, 2008

I am working on an Access 2002 database where one of the tables has five required fields making up the key.

There is a form that is linked to this table which is used for adding new records.

There is a close button on this form that has the following code in it's OnClose event:

"DoCmd.close"

When the form is opened, no data entered and then the close button is clicked - nothing happens.

It used to work fine, until I recently upsized the database into a SQL Server database and now it's all gone horribly wrong.

If I close the form manually by clicking on the cross, I get this
error:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value
NULL into column 'Product', table
'LeasebookSQL.leasebook_user.leases'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (#515) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The statement has been terminated. (#3621)

Can anyone please tell me how I can get the form to close without trying to save the record, especially when no changes have been made to the data on the form?


Thanks,


Simon

Commission: IIf([Amt]<=10000,30), IIf(Int([Amt]/1000 Between 10000 And 50001)*3.5+3.75)

What I required to do is that when amount is greater than or equal to 10000 than Amt multiply by 30 simply.
and when amount is between 10000to 50001 than Amt/1000 multiply by 3.5+3.75

means that when amount is 15000 than according to per 1000 it will be calculated.

please dear help me out in this I required it very very urgently.

Help Required

Feb 24, 2008

I am fairly new to Access and may very well be trying to walk before I can run.

I have an Excel Spreadsheet that is currently used to produce a Nominal Roll that is listed by the following:


Surname
Enlisted Month
Enlisted Year

POP Month
POP Year

I know how to transfer it across to Access.



I then need to be able to produce lists (The listings order needs to be Enlisted Month/Year then POP Month/Year) that can then be merged into tables 4 columns wide (where at the top of each table is a General Comment) and the names run down in alphabetical order then move across to the next column.
(Basically for example I have 24 names that needs to be divided by 4)

hopefully that is as clear as mud, any help would be greatly appriciated

How To Set The Required Property Via SQL

Required Fields

May 11, 2006

I'm having problems with the required field option in my table. I have a form that writes to the table and has a validation of the fields built in the code. If the validation is true, then it will allow the record to be saved.

However, I've also set those same fields in the table to be a required field. Whenever I enter data in those fields in the form and click the save command button, I get a message back telling me one of the required fields cannot be null. The thing is, it is not null. I entered data into the field through the form. Whenever I change the required field option to no in the table the problem goes away, but shows up on the very next field in the list that is set to yes.

Validation occurs within the form that writes to the table, but I still would like to have the security of knowing the fields are required in the table as well, just in case someone tries to be sneaky and go directly into the table to enter/modify data.

Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug? I've actually set up another database the same way and don't have any problems with it. I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,
cbdcolga

Required Tables?

Apr 9, 2008

I want an access database to manage my correspondence after my motorbike accident.

I am sort of unsure on tables and correct normalisation so here's my plan so far.

Table 1
Company address details


Table 2
Contact name details
(I have a lot of different people from different departments in each company) so a contactID to table 1

Table 3
Media Type - letter, email, phone call etc

Table 4
Category - Legal, Financial etc

Also I want to link pdf images to each entry.

Does this sound okay or can tables 1 and 2 be merged? dunno if it would be easier to add names to an existing company rather than possibly adding the whole thing again.

Thanks all for looking

Help Required For Query

Sep 13, 2007

I need to see the records of a specific date very often. I have designed a simple query (Field : My date field; Criteria : Enter the Date) and it is giving info I want. However, sometimes it shows no records making me wonder where all the data had vanished. On checking up further, I discover that the date I specified was a Sunday, a holiday, when no data entry takes place. What I now want is that if the query returns no records, it should also give a message that "the date you specified could be a holiday. please check" so that I would not panic. Is it possible?
Alternatively, the query can look up the day of the specified date and return the message. I shall be grateful for help for any of these query designs.

Mean Mode Help Required

Nov 14, 2007

Hi,
I found a couple of short threads on the forum discussing the above. None of them go sufficiently far enough into detal to help me solve my (relatively simple) problem.

My boss has asked me to produce both mean and mode calculations for the number of pallets we ship to our branches on the 30+ routes that we service.

So far I have managed to implement mean but mode seems to have me stumped.

I'm aware there actually isn't a mode function in Access as such but like mode, is there a way to calculate the most frequent occurrence of a number over a time period?

My query is already producing Min, Max, Sum (and now mean) results for the pallets we ship, can someone offer me help on this?

All the code that I have retrieved so far seems to be based on something similar to this:

select top 1 with ties your_column
from your_table
group by your_column
order by count(*) desc

I have very little to no idea about how to implement this into my query. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance.

Required Fields

Mar 7, 2005

Is there any way that you can have required fields in a form, but access will not look for the required fields until you try to exit the form. Basically; i have a form that users keep track of there work hours on specific parts. they leave the form minimized for most of the day. After they enter a record, they sometimes need to go back and edit a previous record, only they are on a new record and access will not let them go to a previous record unless they have the record fields entered.

Train Of Thought Required. How Do I...?

May 11, 2005

Hi all,

Hope this is the correct forum, and I am not breaking any rules of etiquette. :rolleyes:

I am after some guidance on how to start to tackle a problem, rather than any advice on the details of how to do it. That I want to work out for myself in order to try and improve my mastery of Access.

I have a team responsible for completing a number of scheduled reports.
These reports are scheduled for different frequecies ie :-
some are scheduled Weekly on a particular day,
some are scheduled Monthly on a particular date,
some are scheduled Monthly say on the 1st Monday of the month.

My goal, amongst others, is to be able to, from the switchboard,:-

a. Print a list of reports scheduled to run in the current work week.
b. Print a list of reports scheduled to run between any 2 inputted dates.

This is just part of what I want to acheive from this database, but as we all know Rome wasn't built in a day!! ;)

Grateful for any help / advice / directions,

Cheers,

Simple Coding Help Required

Jun 24, 2005

hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.

Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.

Query Question Or Maybe VB Required

Sep 12, 2005

Hi All,

I am relatively new to Access having created my first database a few months ago. I have hit a problem and I am not sure if I can solve this with queries or I need to move to Visual Basic.

I want to create a table containing the stock a product for each day for the next sixty days. I have the current stock in one table, a monthly forecast of sales in another and purchase orders in another.

I want to use the monthly forecast divided by how many days in that month and move forward day by day allowing for purchases coming in.

The tables (simplyfied) are :-

Stock Table.
eg.
Code Stock Qty Date
101 10 11/9/05
102 200 11/9/05


Forecast Table.
eg.
Code Month Fcast Qty
101 P09 30
102 P09 90

Purchase Order Table.
eg.
Code Due_Date PO Qty
101 13/9/05 100

The table that I would like to create would contain Code, Date and Stock.

eg.

Code Date Stock
101 12/09/05 9
101 13/09/05 108
101 14/09/05 107 ...........

102 12/9/05 197 ...........

Any ideas/direction would be welcome.
