Need To Retain History And Update Records Based On Condtion
Nov 26, 2007
I have this scenerio that I am trying to work through and find a proper solution:
Main table stores a part # and an index (Primary Key) along with a bunch of other data. I want to store with the part # the current active version of firmware (aka software) associated with that particular part# / index. Part # may be a duplicate, so for this reason the PK is the index, so that each index / part # will have which firmware has been used with it.
I would like the ability to retain a history of firmware versions used for a particular part # / index so that if we need to go back to a previous version of software we will know which ones have been used.
I have been able to create the relationship to show all previous versions of the firmware used for a particular part # / index, but cannot figure out how to only have one 'current' and update the others as 'archived'. I would like to either use a boolean or selectable lookup (ie Current vs. Archived). What I want is that when I select one firmware to be ‘current’ all others related to the particular part # / index are updated to ‘archived’ leaving the other records not related to that part # / index alone. Also note that I am trying to make the update of the firmware status in the table view without having to go through a form.
Main Table
ID (PK)
Part No
Product
Firmware History
FirmwareVerIndex (PK)
PartNo
Firmware
ChangeDate
ChangeName
FirmwareStatus
My database was working fine until I had to make some minor changes in a few of the fields (which I did in the table and the data entry form). Now, all of the combo boxes in all of the records show the same selection. If I change the selection in one of the fields in a record, it changes the selection in that field in all of the records to that selection. :eek:
I have a table that has multiple records (count >1). I used the find duplicate records and then made it a delete query, however, this resulted in deleting all the records that had count >1. I need to retain distinct record, and delete the extra records. Using select distinct.. I do not want to use VBA to achieve this, but at the same time be able to incorporate the steps in a module that would execute the queries in a sequential order and achieve the same results.
Hello! I am trying to update the current status of an asset, when it was returned or checked out. At the same time, save the changes in a history table to record all the changes in past. I can do individually from different tables and different forms, but I would like to do from one form and one record entry. Is it possible? If so can anybody help? Thanks JVirk
I have form1 that has the current commodity When i need to change the commodity I want the following to happen when they click a button: open the commodity change formthat form has a drop down to select a new commodity and a date of commodity change date fieldWhen the user submits it will move existing value to history along with the Date of change (separate table)Next it will take the value in the new commodity box and make it the current commodity
My thinking is that when i click the button to open the change form I can save the commodity at that time but I wont have the date yet. Just not sure of they best way to go about this.
I am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.
I need to create a production forecast form based on previous sales history.The history is based a sales and grouped by month & year
So on the form, which needs to be a continuous form, I want products to show as rows and months as columns The sales history per month needs to be displayed as well as a field allowing to user to enter the production forecast.
I can write the sales history to a temp table.However I never know how many months history the user is going to want displayed at run time. Could be 3, 7, 12 or 15!
Attached spreadsheet shows what I am trying to achieve. Is this possible and if yes, how would I do it?
I have 2 tables, one is like a main table, containing all of the main data, such as a Job Number, Customer, Quantity, etc. I have a second, related, table that acts a breakdown of information. There may be several related records to one main record, it entirely depends on the nature of the job.
What I'd like to do is run a function that looks at a main record, checks if all the related records COMPLETED field is ticked and then tick a field in the main record. I only want it to do this for records where all of the related records are COMPLETED.
I have database with an userform called AssignWP, combobox called WPDevBy, listbox called List352 (Multi select) and table called Justified.I am trying to update one field WPDevelopedBy of the table as combobox value based on list box multi selected records.
I have a text box in a form. When the value in the text box is changed, a message box appears asking if the user wants to change the value in the text box. If they select "Yes", all is good and it goes on well, but when they select "No" is it possible for the text box to retain its previous value?
For example.
The value in the text box is "1". The user changes this value to "2". A message box pops up asking if the user wants to change the value, the user select "No" and so the value in the text box goes back to "1", the number it started with before it changed.
I have a parent table (tblLabels) and a child table (tblRevision) where the revision history for the parent table is kept.
The parent table is populated via an excel import and may have several records imported at once. Instead of having the user manually enter a new record note in the child table for each record imported into the parent table, I've created a form that collects the necessary data (date, person who added the record, person who authorized the record, and notes) and then creates a revision history for each new record.
This is what I have so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddNotes_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim RevisionDate As String Dim RevisionRevisedBy As String Dim RevisionDesc As String
[Code] ....
When I run the code nothing happens. No error, no new records create, etc. My suspicion is that I may need to use an INSERT INTO query instead of an UPDATE query, but I'm not sure how to go about matching up the foreign keys if that's the case.
in a Dbthere are 2 fields which contain 'matching' data. (there are other columns too) A Genesis B Exodus C leviticus D Numbers E Deutronomy
I want to shuffle both columns so they are both randomly mixed up B Numbers A Exodus C Detronomy E Leviticus D Genesis
How do I do it? I have explored the random function but that randomises the records but keeps each record intact.
I then want to print these two columns to a report which numbers each line - easy enough once I have the query BUT I want to print an 'answer page ' at the end of the report which will look like this:-
1 B Numbers (5) 2 A Exodus (1) 3 C Detronomy (4) 4 E Leviticus (3) 5 D Genesis (2)
I thought of appending a unique ID string to each pair and only displaying the first part of the string e.g A@1 Genesis@1 etc and I can do this but maybe there is a simpler way. Lastly supposing I would want to keep the order of column one and only shuffle column two? Thanks for any advice!
I am trying to export my Access pivot table to excel because every time I do, the values (which are text and numbers; i.e. some numbers and some <0.05 format) are changed into a sum, product..... I need to rearrange this data not calculate anything.
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.

I have a combo named cbogroup. I have a tblGroup with several records (active, non-active, nursery, etc.). One of the records is *ALL*. Using the CboGroup the user can pick any of the records. Howeverr, if they pick the *ALL* record, I want the query to pull up animalID based on all records in the TblGroup. If another record is picked (i.e. nursery), then the query will pull up only animalIDs that are in the 'Nursery'.Can I put a (iff then) in a query in order to differentiate a query based on all group records or a query based on only one record?
I currently have a table with two important fields (lets call them X and Y) currently I have them set to ComboBox where they reference two look up tables. I then have a form that allows for user input. Each of the two fields work with drop down lists. What I want to to is filter the Y Field based on the selection in Field X.
I wrote a query that is set to the Second combo box. WHen the user selects the drop down it runs the query and uses the value in the first to narrow the selection. [forms]![DATA_ENTRY]![HOUSE_NUMBER] THis works great but only for the first go through. After that it seems that I have to have code on one of the events. Basically any time the user hits the drop down I want to requery.
Does anyone have any code examples that I can reference that will show me how to repopulate that second combobox based on the selection from the first combobox? EVERY TIME I CLICK THE SECOND DROP DOWN BOX ....I would imagine that I have write the code on one of its events...
I currently have a "customer" form (which displays client details from a table - name, address etc) I would like to add history comments for each customer.
Does anyone know how i would go about doing this.
I image i could press a button on the current "customer" form that will open a history form which after typing a comment would be displayed on the main "customer" form, with date, time and comment. I would obviously be able to add lots of comments to each record.
I need to write a db for my boss where he can access his patient treatment information. How can I make the db (Access '03) to be able to add new treatment to the same patient and to display all treatments seperately on a form? There are about 500 patients. Appreciate any assistance.
Hi. I am creating a contact management database. Also I am new to Microsoft Access. How would I create a calling history record for each of the clients in the contact database? What would be the best way and how would I go about it? The calling history ideally would include the call recipient, time, date, subject and notes. Thanks. Take care.
I am trying to create a historical record of Employees at our business. What I would like to do is have a query that will create a begin date and create that date for each day starting w/ like 1/1/06 and continue thru Date()-1. For example:
Jane Doe and John Doe started employment on 1/1/06. Jane Doe was employed until 1/5/06. So using their "Hire Date" I would like the query to do this..
Created Name Hire Date Termination
1/1/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 1/1/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/2/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 1/2/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/3/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 1/3/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/4/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 1/4/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 Jane Doe 1/1/06 1/5/06 1/5/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/6/06 John Doe 1/1/06 1/7/06 John Doe 1/1/06
So in this case Jane Doe will show up every day in the "Employee List" until she was terminated. Is it possible to loop a date like this in a query or will I have to make an estranged table with a list of dates? TIA for any help.
I have 2 fields - "Balance" and "Date" - each time data in the "balance" field changes, the "Date" field updates to todays date (thanks to help from Kiwiman in the forum earlier).
I now need to keep a history/log of all data input into balances and the dates.
The new field to store this information is called "Balance History". so an example of what i want to end up with would be
1st time: Company Name: Automobile 2nd time: Company Name: AuID
If I type A, then it will show out the word, but the cursor is till After A, because if we type another character which will change another word 3rd time: Company Name: Automobile
4th time: Company Name: Au[I]ID[I]
What is the keyword to search about it in the forum? Anyway, does anybody know how to solve it? Please let me know, thanks.
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
