Need Current And Next Instance Of A Job
Jul 6, 2005
Hi,
I have around 50 jobs on a table. These have a 'start date' of various dates in a year. A field called 'complete' indicates whether a job has been closed off or not and a field called 'frequency' determines how often the jobs recurr (in days).
I need a query (which I'll run every night) which will examine all the incomplete jobs on the table and copy all this data to new jobs and change the 'start date' to the previous 'start date' + 'frequency'.
That in itself is not the problem. My problem is how to tell Access that when the current and next instances of a job exist, not to copy it a third time.
In other words, after the query runs there should always be 2 instances of the job on the table...current and next.
Can someone please advise me what I should do?!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a form(frmentry) where a user creates a record and it has a primary key that is entered manually the primary field is called "AR_Number". The user enters the details in this form and then click a button called "butapprove" and it launches another form called 'frmentryapproval'. When this second form loads up i need it to be on the record that the user was just entering, wondering what the best way is to load that record into the form.
currently I am using this code:
Private Sub butapproval_Click()
Dim appformname As String
Dim apparnumber As String
appformname = "frmentryapproval"
apparnumber = "[AR_Number]=" & Me![ARNo]
DoCmd.OpenForm appformname, , , apparnumber
End Sub
but when using that it does not work properly and the values entered on the 2nd form are not saved at all, let alone to the required record.
I have seen some things on GoToRecord & FindRecord but don't know how to use them, would the be useful in this situation?
Thanks for your help and sorry for the n00b question.

Hi guys,
Still trying to get used to this Access lark.
A table contains a column with numbers i.e - 1,1,3,4,2,2,2,3,4,4
If i just want a query that shows one of each i.e - 1,2,3,4
what do i need in the criteria line?
Thanks in advance

I'm sure this is simple, but I can't find it anywhere...
How do I refer to an instance of a form using its key value?
For example, I have a collection 'colForms' and two forms in that collection with the keys 'Key1' and 'Key2'. How do I refer to the instance that has Key1 in code (for exampe, to close or requery the Key1 instance of the form from another form)?
Thanks in advance,
David

I am trying to ONLY allow One instance of a value in my table.
tblUserSecurity
admn
dev
If either of these exist (They are Yes/No) then do not allow. This is being checked via a combo box on my form using the after update event. Only One Administrator and One Developer. DCount or DLookup ?

Hi all,
I have some records containing the following data
ABC (UK)
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC UK) Ltd
ABC UK)
I need to pull out all the data with a ) but not a ( and add a ( to the start of the word before the ).
So for example, the four examples above would change to:
ABC (UK)
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC (UK)
I have selected the companies that need updating, and I can pull the data to the left of the ), but I don't know how to find the first instance from right to left of " ", or find the last instance from left to right of " ".
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I'm making a database that keeps track of particular lots of ingredients going into certain recipes.
The relevant tables are
tblSupplements (SupplementID, SupplementName)
tblSupplementLots (LotID, SupplementID, ArrivalDate)
tblRecipes (RecipeID, RecipeName)
tblRecipeItems(RecipeID, SupplementID, Quantity)
tblSupplementRecipeBatches (BatchID, RecipeID, MixingDate)
tblSupplementRecipeBatchItems(BatchID,LotID)
I have the top 4 tables filled out via forms and it all works swimmingly.
I'm having a hard time coming up with a scheme for filling out the bottom two.
I would like to have a form which will display the BatchID (automatically generated), allows the user to enter the MixingDate, gives a combobox bound to RecipeID which is filled from a pulldown menu based on RecipeID and RecipeName from tblRecipes.
All these I can do, but the next step is befuddling me: based on the RecipeID, I need to make a list consisting of the varying number of supplements which comprise the given recipe and allow the user to enter the LotID for each one (preferably from a pulldown menu).
I've tried a bunch of things (subforms linked on RecipeID, listboxes, VBA update queries attached to buttons). I just can't seem to understand how to have a variable number of subrecords appear and attach a new field (LotID) to each. Perhaps my table design is awkward?

Hi,
I build the WHERE clause in my form's record source dynamically, depending on the context in which the user opens the form. I can't put the WHERE predicates in the record source and refer to fields on another form, as the context will determine which predicates are required. So I have code like this:
Public gf_FormInstance As Form
Dim strSelect as String
:
Set gf_FormInstance = New Form_F_PerformanceSummary
:
gf_FormInstance.RecordSource = strSelect
gf_FormInstance.Refresh
gf_FormInstance.Visible = True
The problem is, the Set statement causes the New form instance to retrieve all records from the existing record source, slowing down the performance.
I'd like to find a trick to suppress the retrieval of records when the Set statement executes, and then allow them to retrieve when the Refresh statement executes.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith.

iUPC = "123-7754LF-(A/S red Top)-T19/97876564"
'get number of instances
xTimes = 0
xTimes = Len(iUPC) - Len(Replace(iUPC, "/", ""))
'get position of characters
xInstance1 = InStr(1, iUPC, "/")

I just want to run a series of DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet commands to export several queries to one Excel Workbook with seperate sheet names for each query.
However my problem is I want this to be a new instance of Excel that the user will then SaveAs after it is complete. I don't want to save it to a specific path first because the Db is on a shared drive and My Documents will have a different path for each user based on their user name. (corporate environment)
There must be some way to just have it open a new workbook without saving isn't there??

I've been trying to determine what recordsource to apply to a listbox to get the following results for its three columns:
Column1 Column2 Column3
AddressID Address Owner
The data is being pulled from two tables:
tblAddress
AddressID (pk)
HouseNum
Street
Apt
tblOwner
OwnerID (pk)
AddressID (fk)
LastName
FirstName
Current
Problem: I need each record from the Address Table to be shown with the most current Owner information from the related table. The most current Owner Information record is identified by a checkmark in the 'Current' field.
I've tried the following queries:
This query gives me duplicate addresses for each instance of owners:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [AddressID], [HouseNum] & ' ' & [Street] & ' ' & [Apt] AS Address, tblOwner.LastName AS Owner FROM tblAddress LEFT JOIN tblOwner ON tblOwner.AddressID=tblAddress.AddressID;
This query gives me only addresses that have a current owner, the problem is, sometimes a house won't have any related owner record in the owner table:
SELECT DISTINCTROW [AddressID], [HouseNum] & ' ' & [Street] & ' ' & [Apt] AS Address, tblOwner.LastName AS Owner FROM tblAddress LEFT JOIN tblOwner ON tblOwner.AddressID=tblAddress.AddressID WHERE tblOwner.Current = True;
Can this even be done with a query? This is driving me nuts. Help!

what the difference between the two variations of using the New keyword to create a new instance and using the Set. I mean Code 1 would always be better because you dont have to ever use the Set keyword
1.Code:
Dim wb As New Excel.Workbook
2.Code:
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Set wb = New Excel.Workbook
Are there benefits and cons to both i.e. memory allocation etc..

How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment
A2007 ADP Project
Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents
MS SQL 2012 Express DB
Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form
Pop-up: No
Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form
Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click()
Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then
AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.

I am trying to update a recordset using VBA based on the max "process instance" from another table. After the code executes, the field I am updating is still blank.

If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF = True

What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..

There's this problem that has been racking my brain all day. I have a form that contains a subform (modelling a many to many relationship). So a person and the applications he/she uses. I then have a combobox with a list of applications and a button below the combobox. When something is selected from the combobox and then the button is pressed, the application gets connected to the user. The problem I'm having is that say a person is just being added and no information is entered yet. If the user tries to add an application, my code tries to tie the two key's (autonumber id's) together (but there isn't one yet for the non-existant person) and the code blows up. Shouldn't access just make one when the form is opened? I guess access waits until there is data added in order to create a new primary key.
So I really don't have a clue how to solve this issue. I tried just running an insert SQL statement but I have no data to insert. And then, I would have to use a DLookup for the id, but I would have nothing to search on. I really don't know how to fix this problem. Any ideas?

Just curious as to what others are working on. Here is what I'm in the middle of and what the basic purpose is:
It's a db to track parts we swap with our customers. It's primary table is on a sql sever so that the anyone in our company can view only the data via DAP's. The other tables are in the .mdb on the file sever. I plan on having it up and running in the next week or so. It will be used (add/edit,etc data), by approx 8-15 users in three different buildings off a file server share folder...
See screen shot attachment.

Hi
Probably an easy one here.. Got a table that I will like to do a query on.. All I need is to list all records for the current month. So obviously, when it goes to the next month, the query would update and show only records for that month.
What do I need to put under the date criteria to get this query?!?.. Any ideas?
Thanks
