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 a database that has 2 tables. Table A and Table B. Table A is my primary table. On this table I have 2 fields. The first field is a LOOKUP Field that looks up information from Table B and displays my selection in the field on Table A. Then using DLOOKUP I automatically input the information in the Second Field on Table A based upon the selection from the First Field.
This is working mostly correctly. However, the problem is, when I click on the next record in the table, it automatically changes the Second Field on that record to the same value as the record before it and continues this trend each time I click on another record. This occurs without me making a selection in the first field. If I make a selection in the first field it does change the Second Field to the Correct Value, but then the next Record has the same issue.
How do I go about fixing this so it doesn't change the value with the change of the record. Only change if I change that particular field within that 1 record?is there a way to restrict the Value's in my lookup field to only include the Values from Table B that aren't already in Table A?
I am currently working on an instrument datebase, I have a mainquery that takes care of user inputs from a form. The main fields that have been queried on are Type, System, and Manufacturer and they are all look-up fields that contain some null values.
On the same criteria row for these fields, I have
Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qtype2]) Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qsys2]) Like IIf([forms]![User Interface].[qman1]="","*",[forms]![User Interface].[qman1])
qtype, qsys and qman are the user inputs from the user interface that returns look-up table values.
This works fine when all 3 of these fields are all filled out for a certain instrument. The problem arise when some fields of the instrument are left blank or is null. The instrument won't show up in a query at all. What I wanted it to do is to show everything including the ones with null fields when the user input are null or "". When the user specifies certain requirement I only want to show the ones that are not null. I understand that putting them on the same row means AND, I have tried to OR them and did not have the result i wanted.
I have a split database and need a field (Combo type) in the table to lookup values from a query in the front end. How do I do this as it doesn't see the querys because the front and back end are split?
I wanted to create a form where you can select multiple values from the table "years" and on a button it would open a query displaying all the records in "students" in those years selected.
I am desperate to solve this problem but unfortunately I have not been able to figure it out. Below I will outline a design of a database and the desired results.
I know what I want to do but I don’t know how to do it (or whether it is impossible!)
DATABASE DESIGN
The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
Staff Data Contains daily data for several members of staff Staff ID Staff Name Date Data Field 1 Example records: 600-001, Bob Smith, 01/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 02/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 03/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 04/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, 05/03/2006, 50 600-002, Jayne Cole, 01/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 02/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 03/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 04/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, 05/03/2006, 60 600-003, Alex Winter, 01/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 02/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 03/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 04/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, 05/03/2006, 20
Team Lookup Shows what team each staff member belongs to and what date this is effective. Staff ID Team Start Date
The first three records show that at the start of the year Bob (600-001) and Jayne (600-002) worked for Sales and that Alex (600-003) worked for Accounts.
The last record shows that from 04/03/06 Jayne switched teams to Accounts
Query Assign Team Assigns the correct team to Staff ID for each date Staff ID Staff Name Team Date Data Field 1 Desired Results: 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 01/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 02/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 03/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 04/03/2006, 50 600-001, Bob Smith, Sales, 05/03/2006, 50 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 01/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 02/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Sales, 03/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 60 600-002, Jayne Cole, Accounts, 05/03/2006, 60 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 01/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 02/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 03/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 04/03/2006, 20 600-003, Alex Winter, Accounts, 05/03/2006, 20
Query Group By Team Summarises data by team/date Team – Group By Date – Group By Data Field 1 - Sum Desired Results: Sales, 01/03/06, 110 Sales, 02/03/06, 110 Sales, 03/03/06, 110 Sales, 04/03/06, 50 Sales, 05/03/06, 50 Accounts, 01/03/06, 20 Accounts, 02/03/06, 20 Accounts, 03/03/06, 20 Accounts, 04/03/06, 80 Accounts, 05/03/06, 80
PROBLEM: WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO
I don’t know how to get the query “Query Assign Team” to work!!
I would like to lookup up the ‘Staff ID’ and ‘Date’ in “Team Lookup” and return the appropriate value for ‘Team’
I just started a new database and I'm new at this so I have a question about ID numbers for my two tables.
In Table1, I have faculty demographic information, and a FacultyID (unique ID number created by AutoNumber).
Table2 has the courses those faculty members taught - one faculty teaches many courses. But this table does not have the FacultyID that I added to Table1.
So, how do I automate the process of looking up the FacultyID number from Table1 and adding it to the currently blank FacultyID field in Table2? Theres hundreds of records and this will be done every semester, so I need an automatic way of doing this lookup.
I have a small database with 3 tables. tblBilltoCustomer Fields - Key - BillCustID , companyname, address1, address2, city, state
tblOrders
tblCustomers
I have a form that has tblCustomers as the main form then tblOrders as a sub form.
I want to place a combo box on the form that will lookup a company name from the tblBilltoCustomer table then brin in the address1, address2, city,state , into the form for that record. But then I need that same info to print on a rpt.
I can get the lookup to work using =cboCompanyName.Column() but the addresses , city and state will not show on report Is there any good samples of lookup fields
II have been working in Access 2010 and by no means would I call myself an expert. I have two different tables, one is called 'JobsList' and the other one is called 'StatHolidays'. On the Jobslist form, I have a field that requires a ship date, however, I don't want to allow the user to select the dates listed in the StatHolidays table. Is there a way that when a user picks a date that is listed in StatHolidays that a pop up box will say "This date is Christmas, do not choose this as a Ship date". The 'StatHolidays' table has a field for a date and for a description of the holiday.
The Lookup table has two fields containing values that are needed: Description and Amount ($). In the table that uses the Lookup, I'd like to have both values shown, but have a dropdown just once. In other words, when the user selects a description (the dropdown shows both the description and amount), can the amount be inserted into an Amount field as the description is done currently.
i am working on a school database, in data base i have create two tables tblAccounts and tblTransaction and a form frmTransaction .
tblAccounts contain two fields GLcodes Description and frmTransaction contain Glcode transaction type debit credit date narratives
in form when i enter a glcode, lookup field match the code from tblaccounts and shows the description in form against gl code.But i am facing a problem when i enter a wrong gl code my form accept it and move to the next field and when i leave blank field of glcode same problem that i am facing, i want that , when i enter a wrong glcode in a form amsgbox will apear that asking for correct glcode.
I have a form which has a combobox called Task_Ref which looks up values in a table column.
I would like to be able to set the tickbox value of tickbox called P1 to True if the combobox contains the word "test", each entry on the combobox selection may vary such as:-
Test number 1 Yesterdays Test
As long as the word "Test" appears I would like the above to happen?
I was thinking of something along the lines of:-
If InStr(Task_Ref.Value, "Test") > 0 Then P1.Value = True Else P1.Value = False End If End Sub
We have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify. (2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
how data is best structured in Access.I have a table of values (for instance: weight) and I need to be able to look up a weight based on the column header (age) and row header (height).How is this sort of data best structured and accessed in Access?
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
I am trying to create a lookup wizard to record the number of people who attend a regular event. I have a table recording the names, surnames and DOB of registered members and a number of other tables for regular events we hold. Previously people have been manually adding the names of attendees and of course there have been inconsistencies in the data. I want them to look up the names from the table of registered members. I have been using the lookup wizard, but it is only displaying the first name in a string. I need it to display id, first name, surname and DOB in a table. I also want to be able to type in the first letter and then pick from the list.
My colleague has a multiple table database and uses lookups for some fields. The simple query was to extract 3 fields and display all records from those fields. The result of the query was that the selected fields were listed first followed by all other fields which are usually not displayed.
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS: ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer) ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS: ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer) FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.) FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen) CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS] from PRODUCTS where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
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 am very new to Access and any help would be appreciated. I have been through the entire Access Bible and many forums but can't find the answer to my specific question.
The project:
I'm setting up a database for tutors and students. Tutors will, via the web, enter data about a specific tutoring session (studentName, subject, sessionLength, etc.) Then at the end of the month a report will be generated detailing hours tutored and total compensation.
The problem:
Students pay varying rates based on subject (math or verbal). So in the Session table each record for each tutoring session has an empty field called payRate. This is the rate the student will pay based on subject. So I need this field to "fill in" automatically based on the 'student' and the 'subject' from the same record. Then I can multiply the field by sessionLength and get a totalPay field for the session. Add these at month's end and pay the tutors.
I've set up a lookup table called 'subject' with three fields (student,subject, payRate) and I have the student and subject combined as the primary key. Am I on the right track here? If so, how do I link the tables to get that Session 'payRate' field to fill in automatically. This is where is breaks down for me. I've tried the lookup wizard but all I seem to get when I open the Session table is an empty PayRate field with a drop down box containing the entire subject lookup table.
Sorry for being so long winded but I need help from someone better at his than me. Thanks in advance.
hi, plz i need a fast help i have 3 tables in access: Country Table: fields:country Id, country name

i have created all the fields in these tables...and when i put the field City Name as lookup, i am failing to mak eit read correctly from the city table according the the country of my active record.. plz anybody knows how to do this query???
My Sales! table has fields [ItemType] and [Price] and VAT! table has [ItemType] and [VATRate].
Both tables has a common field which is [ItemType].
I am trying to make a query which will calculate the VAT figure by multiplying the Sales table [Price] with the corresponding [VATRate] in the VAT table by matching the [ItemType] in both tables.
I tried DLookup but couldn’t find a solution. How do I accomplish this?
