I have a table for keeping track of software keys This table has all the software keys and an ID field in it.
I then have a table for computers that currently I have it set up so that there is
OSID Field linked to SoftwareID
OfficeID1 Field Linked to SoftwareID
OfficeID2 Field Linked to SoftwareID
On a form I would like it to list ALL software no matter if it is linked or "installed" and show for those that are installed the ComputerID that they are installed on.
Currently no matter how I set it up I can only get it to show the ComputerID for the OS only or for the OfficeID1 only. I want to see if the software is on a computer no matter if it is in the OSID, OfficeID1 or OfficeID2. How do I do that if it is possible?
I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables: * Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player) * Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box) * Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box * Venue - similar to Competition table * Opponent - Similar to above two tables * Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms: * Player form * Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
I am trying to create a list of values in a field separated by commas. I have done this in a query as follows:
[Field1]&", "&[Field2]&", "&[Field3] and so on.
However, when Field2 is null, the result is two commas between Field1 and Field2, but I only need one. What function can I use to eliminate the extra commas when fields used in the concatenation are null?
I have a list of Vehicles in which each have their own maintanance schedules. Most of the maintanance for the Vehicles overlap. Instead of entering the same information over and over I'm assigning each type of vehicle a code number (example '05 Cargo is a 1, '04 Cargo is a 2). Now what I want to do is assign each maintanance the vehicle code, for instance I have 13 different types of vehicles that all need oil changes, so I want to assign the Oil change maintanance 13 codes. Is there a way to assign that maintanance 13 codes without having to enter it 13 times??
Is it possible to have a text field in a table to store multiple values by using a comma or some other type of seperator? I do not want to set the field to a lookup field because the number of values that would be included would be to many to continuously look through to select. I would prefer to just manually type in what I need and use a seperator to create a multiple value field.
Is there anyway to have a single field in a table which is populated via the use of a lookup onto another table, but allowing multiple value selection out of the lookup table and populating those into the field...
For example
Table 1 is customer details Table 1 field 3 = areas of interest
Table 1 field 3 is populated via a lookup into Table 2 interests
Table 2 has 4 records
Sport Household Motoring Family
I want to be able to select 1 or more of the Table 2 values and populate them into Table 1 Field 3....
I have no idea if this is possible or not. I have a requirement to pull a list of Doctor's, their address, and which counties they serve. Sounds fine, right? Well, they want all the counties on one line... One record for each unique address.
So, my query would return this Dr Address County Dr Smith Main Street Plymouth County Dr Smith Main Street Sarasota County
But they want it to look like this Dr Address County Dr Smith Main Street Plymouth County Sarasota County
Any idea on how to pull that together for them and put it in an Excel spreadsheet?
modify the code below to Show the LocationName in the Schema Column instead of the MPID? I attached a pic showing the relationship between the two tables which contain the data I'm trying to query.
SELECT [Locations Query].LocID, Qry_MPLoc.MPID AS Qry_MPLoc_MPID, [Locations Query].Location, [Locations Query].Schema FROM [Locations Query] INNER JOIN Qry_MPLoc ON [Locations Query].[LocID] = Qry_MPLoc.[LocID];
I have a table where there are multiple vehicles, each identified by their vehiclenumber. Each record holds the vehiclenumber, date and odometer reading. I need to figure out how to calculate records in this table per each vehiclenumber.
Below is a code that works, but only when i have each vehicle with the same vehiclenumber.
SELECT tblOdometer.VehicleNum, tblOdometer.ODate, tblOdometer.Odometer, tblOdometer.Odometer AS OdomAlias, Nz(DLast("Odometer","tblOdometer","[Odometer] < " & [OdomAlias]),0) AS Previous, [Odometer]-[Previous] AS Difference FROM tblOdometer;
I have 3 tables made up of ID and NAME and other parameters. NAME is unique field in each table, whilst ID is not unique. the three tables share the same fields, but can't be combined due to the NAME field not being unique throughout.
Now I have a single table that has a unique ID so I want to make a 1-inf relationship between this table and all three. the problem is how do I look at all three tables at the same time instead of having to insert subdatasheet on only one table.
For my study on academic research I need to match patents that refer to academic research as prior work with the actual prior work.
I have two tables (see attached images below).
One regarding AcademicPublications (AP), which is neatly organized with title, year, journal, volume, pages, first author, etc... 480,000 rows
One regarding Patentswhere all this information is hidden within one field, in the most messy way possible... for instance, a field could have:
Quote:
Sugita et al, "Nonsurgical Implantation of a Vascular Ring Prosthesis Using Thermal Shape Memory Ti/Ni Alloy (Nitionl Wire)," Trans. Amer. Soc. Artif. Intern. Organs, vol. 23, pp. 30-34.
or
Quote:
Willingham et al., Cell 13, 501-507 (1978).
Or many other ways.
I want to create a new table that is set up like this:
The question is: How do I match different fields from one table on one field of another and make it return another field (the ID)? Some references are too horrible to match, but I need as many as I can get.
I can imagine two queries would give me the bulk:
A match in [Title] AND [Year]
A match on ([SourceTitle] OR [AbbreviatedSourceTitle] ) AND [Volume] AND [Year] AND [PageStart]
I understand that I have to make use of the Like "*"&[value]&"*", but how do I make it return the matching ID?
I have a field named Supplies Expense. As an analyst inputs a business's expenses, it may require multiple entries into this one field. What is the best way to accomplish this?
For example:
Supplies Expense (Field Name) [$0.00]
The analyst has the following data:
2009 Financial Statement Paper $50 Depreciation Expense N/A Ink $100
So, going down the list, the analyst goes into access and enters $50 for paper then later needs to enter $100 for ink.
What is the best way to combine these multiple entries into a single Supplies Expense field and allow for a quality check of the individual numbers at the end of the project?
I have a table in which there are approximately 15k records. The name field has approximately 2500 unique values. I need to search the table for multiple names and return the results from the table. This would then be used as a report. Due to the users being very novice, a form is needed for the search.
Example:
Search for Smith, John; Wilson, Bill; Jones, Jeff
Return Name Year Brand Make Smith, John 1999 Oldsmobile 88 Smith, John 2001 Chrysler 300s Wilson, Bill 1994 Porsche Carrera Wilson, Bill 2007 Kia Sporty Jones, Jeff 2004 Chevrolet Camaro Jones, Jeff 2011 Chevrolet Impala
My knowledge of forms is basic, however, I can be a quick learner if on the right track.
I am trying to find a way to allow the user to enter multiple numbers in an unbound box that I will pass to a query as parameters. I already have it set up to pas the parameters from the form but if i try to do more than one number it doesn't work.
I have tried:
1306 or 1307 or 1308 1306, 1307, 1308 "1306 or 1307 or 1308"
I was reading somewhere that when the value is picked up from the form it is not like you are typing it right in the criteria box of the query.
So are there any other options here? Is there a way to enter all the number in a box and then use vba to create an array and then pass that to the query?
Hi. Please do not lecture me on database normalization, as this truly is not in my control.
I have 2 dozen tables, each with 13 fields. All of the field names exist in at least 12 of the tables. And all tables share a ssn field where values are common.(Confused yet? Sorry, if you are...)
If I design a query showing all 2 dozen tables and their fields... Can I set up a query criteria where I enter the requested ssn and then the required field name and have the result show the values of all the fields with that name, among the ones of the 2 dozen tables where that field name exists? (for that specified ssn)
If I am only as clear as mud, please let me know, and I will try again. Or, by asking if I can search for field values querying by field name, am I any clearer?
I have a subformClientOffers on my frmAllProperties. On the subformClientOffers is a field called Outside Agents. This field allows for multiple values to be selected.
The subfrmClientOffers is in datasheet view.
While the field Outside Agents DOES allow me to select more than one, they post in the field one after another:
Ken Shaw, John Doe, Jane Doe, Harlan Bestlyn
Therefore, the datasheet view of the subformClientOffers causes the field Outside Agents to get very long, much too long to view without scrolling. My client wishes for everything on the frmAllProperties to be viewable without scrolling.
Is there anyway, to cause the field Outside Agents to place a return between each selected name (sort of a wrap text kind of thing)?
One thing I might mention is that the field is a drop down field from tblOutsideAgents. The table itself has First Name and Last Name, but I concatenated that into Fullname on the form, so that when the user opens the drop down they see the entire name. I don't know if that would have any effect on making the 'return' thing work or not.
I can't use this field as a subdatasheet because I already have one subdatasheet attached to the subform to show multiple notes on each Client Offer.
I'm trying to set the control source for a control on my report that describes the number of portions that goes into a box. Sometimes there is a specific number of portions per box and sometimes it's a range. When the number of units is specific, then it is entered into the MasterCaseMinUnits Field. If there is a range of units possible than the min is entered into MasterCaseMinUnits and the max is entered into the MasterCaseMaxUnits.
I want my report to look at the mastercasemaxunits, if it is blank it will only display what is in the MasterCaseMinUnits field. If there is a value in the masterCasemaxUnits field, then it will display the masterCaseMinUnits & " - " & MasterCaseMaxUnits. this is the code I'm Using:
I have an address table which had five one-to-many RI relationships with other tables. I recently added two more tables/relationships and it seems to have slowed down my database. I made other changes at the same time so can't be sure. Would I be correct in saying that this is something that can cause performance problems? Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?
and then I need the last SQL query to create Table1 with column id related to the column id in table2 and table3. As I understand the relationship must to set when creating the table... so this is what I got: CREATE TABLE [Table1] (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT Table1ID REFERENCES [Table2](ID) REFERENCES [Table3](ID));
This produces no errors but when checking in MS Access there are no relationships between them.
I am in the process of designing a sports database and have come across a problem that I can not seem to fix.
I have 3 tables that are linked, they are Customer, Program (this is the customers exercise program) and Health (the customers health records).
I have tried to set up a query that deletes a customer if a command button is clicked. This works find as long as the table I am deleting the data from is not linked to another table.
However when I try to delete a customer record it says that I can't as the data is linked and I have to delete the relationships first.
The only way I can think of doing this is to setup a query that deletes all the data in each table at the same time. I can not get this to work though.
Is this a problem that can be solved or will I have to change the way my relationships are set up?
Maybe a noob question, but I'm still learning access (I know a little late at the age of 37, but better late then never). I have a form with several tabs, linked to a table with employee information, works like a charm. Now, my last tab is called settings, maybe no need to say that the information from this tab needs to be called from a different table called settings. Certain information, like version number, department, etc I want to display all the time in the header and I want to be able to manipulate that information through the settings tab. I definately don't want any relationships with the employee table. Is there a simple way to achieve this, I tried drag and drop but this leads to errors, so definately I do something wrong here. Much appreciated,
HR.zip. I'm trying to create database for HR and all the tables has to be linked with on table "PFEmployees (one employee has to be linked with all other tables "beneficiary,disciplinary,caruser,otherinfo etc...). Is it possible to do it.
Look into attachment relationship. I am really stuck with this.
Hey all, i would appreciate some help with Access here.
I am an attorney, and i am trying to set up an access database for all of my cases.
I have one table in which i keep the names, contact information, etc of all the witnesses who i have used or will be using (especially expert or law enforcement witnesses who i will be using in multiple cases).
I also have a main table in which i have a record for each case. Because I have multiple witnesses for most of my cases, I have had to create multiple relationships between my main cases table and my witnesses table.
My question is this: How do I specify when setting up a report (or a form/query/etc) that when i ask for the witness's address i am looking for the address i made with a particular witness, specify that relationship between the two tables, as opposed to the other relationships between the same two tables.
I hope that makes sense, and i would very much appreciate if someone could give me instructions.
I'm trying to create multiple relationships between the same two tables, but I run into problems every time I try. I'm using Access 2007.
Specifics: I have a table with information on meetings and there are two hosts. So I have fields Host 1 and Host 2. I have a second table that lists possible hosts and their personal information. I have a relationship between table 1 "Host 1" and the Host in table 2; I cannot create another working relationship between table 1 "Host 2" and the Host in table 2.
how I can get that to work? With just the one relationship, I can go to table 2 of the hosts, click on their name, and see all their meetings.But if I add another relationship, it takes out all of the information. I've been working on this for over an hour,
I'm building a database about languages and the segments (sounds) they contain. So far it's a many-to-many relationship between languages and segments, and I've set it up as follows.
tblLangInfo: LangID (PK), language name, language family, etc.
tblSegments: SegmentID (PK), Segment -- this table has only one field, with 24 records, each one a type of sound I'm interested in
tblSegmentLangJoin: LangID (PK), SegmentID(PK)
I have another table, tblProcesses, with an (exhaustive for my purposes) list of the "processes" (a linguistic term) a language might have, which also has a many-to-many relationship with tblLangInfo. Thus two more tables:
tblProcesses: ProcessID (PK), Process name
tblProcessLangJoin: LangID (PK), ProcessID (PK)
Here's the fun part...
I'm interested in documenting which segments can participate in which processes, as either a trigger or target. I think this necessitates yet another table, tblProcessParts, with an exhaustive list of the decomposed processes, by which I mean:
This table is thus also two fields, ProcessPartID (PK) and ProcessName_trigger/target.
The relationship I need to capture is: *given* a language, relate each segment to 0 or more ProcessParts. This relationship is many-to-many, and this on top of the other many-to-many relationships described above.
E.g., "t" in Lang1 might be a trigger and a target for Process1, but "t" in Lang2 might be just a trigger for Process1, while "t" in Lang3 might be neither a trigger nor a target for Process1 (though Lang3 does have Process1), and finally "t" might be neither a trigger nor a target for Process 1 in Lang4 because Lang4 doesn't have Process1, etc.
I've attached a picture to illustrate the relationship I need, since that's likely clearer.
One possibility I thought of was to change tblLangSegmentJoin to have a third field that is the primary key (LangSegID), and relate that to the ProcessPartID table. How to appropriately define my data tables and relationships.
I'm trying to create a database at work keep track of projects I'm working on and all the different events that happen during the project.
I want the main table to be customers, which will include the job number (as the primary key) name, address etc. Then I need other tables that have information about the building permit that will include dates city names etc and then another table that would include information on our sales people and so on, there would be maybe 5 tables that all connect back to the customer table.
I have tried this several times and keep running into problems, I'm sure it has something to do with the relationships. I'm missing something. I can create 2 tables and it works fine but once I add a 3rd it wont work.
