I am trying to see if it would be possible to realize this design:
I have a table with 20 records (equipment names) and each one of them as a unique serial number and a lot of other fields;
Somehow I need to create a subdatasheet for each one of those records! This subdatasheet will contain pin to pin connections informations (lots of records maybe 70) for the cables attached to the equipment !
Example:
TabEquipment_Names
eqp1
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
eqp2
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
eqp3
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
|__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
As you can understand each equipment has a proprietary cable with specific pin to pin connections so I CANNOT create a single subdatasheet for the whole TabEquipment_Names table, but I would need to specifically create a table for each record in the Equipment_Names table, isn`t that correct?
Hi all! I want to insert a subdatasheet into a table but I only want certain records of the subdatasheet to be viewable/accessible e.g. Record 1 of my table should be related to records 1-5 of the subdatasheet. Is this even possible? Or worth doing for that matter! Thanks in advance! You've all been really helpful in previous crises/head-scratching moments! :D
Hello, I'm sorry if this has been already discussed but I've been searching without result.
I have a table "A", with table "B" in it as a subdatasheet. Now when i insert a new row into "A", i need a new copy of the table "B" to be created, meaning every row in "A" would have it's private copy of "B". Is there a way to do this? I don't insist on subdatasheet solution, i just need a new copy of B to be created and linked to any new record in A.
Is it possible to pull information out of a subdata sheet to simplify a query or report? I am currently running a query based on 2 tables, however this produces multiple instances of the same info. If possible it would be much more beneficial to collect all info from the main table but I have not been able to find any info on how to access/reference the subdatasheet. Is there a way to do this or is this much more complicated than it sounds?
I wondering if it's possible to have more than one subdatasheet for one table. My table relations are as follows:
tbl1: Offices col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Office (text)
tbl2: Sections col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Section (text) col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID])
tbl3: Staff col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Name (text) col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID]) col4: Parent_Section (number) (relation to [Sections].[ID])
As you can see the "Staff" table has two relations. One to the "Offices" table, and one to the "Sections" table. I'm trying this because this company has some employees under an office, and some employees under a section under an office. And in the end was hoping to be able to look at the "Offices" table, then expand an office to show both contacts related to that office, as well as sections related to that office.
Hi, all! I need some help. I am trying to figure out how to enable the subdatasheet in my subform. I've already told the root query to include the subdatasheet, and it works. My subform only allows datasheet view, and I've enabled the subdatasheet visible property in the subform. What am I missing? I really need it to show up. It would be SO cool if it would work. Thanks!
I have a continuous form with a bound subform in the footer section. Is there a way (with VBA?) to set the tab order so that it tabs down to the subform in the footer after a few controls in the main form and then back to the main form after going through the subform?
Also I have a form with a subform in datasheet view. Can I have the tab order set so that it tabs through a few fields in the datasheet view, expands the subdatasheet and allows you to tab through it, then tab back to the main datasheet?
I want users to fill out a few fields in the main form, go the subform easily, enter the data there, then go back to the main form easily and enter the rest of the data before going to the next record in the main form.
I have a main table and multiple other tables that I want to link to each row of the main table.The main table "Data" consists of columns (Name, x, y) where "Name" is the primary key and all values are unique.Each of the other tables have columns (Name2, z) where the value of "Name2" is the same in each row and also corresponds to the table name.
I want to make each table a subdatasheet of "Data" where each row in "Data" shows the values in the table corresponding to its name. (i.e. where Name = Name2).Below is what I have so far, but the code doesn't work because linkchildfields and linkmasterfields need to be run from a subform.(?)
The error I am getting is 'Property Not Found' once the code reached the linkchildfields line.

I have a table for all my members, then a table for each class (for attendance purposes) and the class tables are linked to the master via subdatasheets. I also have a form that pulls up all the details of a member and I want to show all the times they've attended class. Is it possible to add the subdata sheets to the form or would I have to add the attendance record as a subform that filters on the person?
I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?
I created a database and I manage to split it into front end and backend. now I'm going to make an EXE of the front end.My question is when I open the front end, I need the database to be empty, and them create a button that will make the user select which project he wants to open (backend).I also need to create a button that will create a new empty backend and save it as a new project.
a system for my company. I have been working with Access for a total of 3 days now, so bear with my inexperience.I have a table with State, Product Name, and so on as Column headers. I have repetition in both of those Columns (if that matters). I would like to figure out how to be able to pull up (Search, Sort, not sure how to word it) 1. By state) all products offered in that state and related info2. By Product) all states using the selected product and related infoWhich would be better for the above goals - Form or Page?I have looked into cascading combo boxes....it that the right direction?
I have a table of around 100,000 records all with a unique contract ID. However there are several entries holding different information on each line but with the same contract number. How can I assign each contract number with its own ID for example contract number 12345 has 6 different entries in the system which i need to keep but i want to assign that contract number with its own ID so i can provide a better contract count instead of it appearing 6 times.
I use office 2003, first I had to convert my database, then I did the database splitting then, remove all menus from running at startup, I tried to create an mde file but it didn’t work.
This is what I got:
This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file. Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table. The Microsoft Jet database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time. Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE. However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.
So installed office XP and tried the same steps but still not working.
I have created access2K application with 4 clients (forms+query+macro+reports) residing on workstations and database on server. I have created MDE of 3 frontends but unable to do so on one computer. When I goto Tools->Database Utilities->Make MDE File... (Disabled) Its disabled I cannot continue so no error message. Any idea? Prodigy
I would like to create a new database from an existing data base with the same fields but I don't want the data. Can anyone give me a step-by step instruction. I also want to duplicate the form as well. I am currently using ACCESS 2000
I have two tables i would like to create a relationship with but the two fields that i want to join are not exactly the same e.g
Table 1 0000111111
Table 2 111111 ABC
The key piece of information that i would like to link together is the 111111, in SQL i would just type "WHERE Code LIKE '*111111*'" or something like that.
Is there anyway i can create a relationship based on the data above?
This has got to be a really easy one for you guys...!
I need to record the date/time a record was created - I've tried to use now() but obviously that updates and there appears to be no function for create date...
I setup my security (or lack there of, hehe) and split the database. I relinked the tables.
Now, Access gets hung up when I try to create an MDE of the FE to distribute. It starts the process, asking me to select a folder and file name, I do that, and it gets no further in the process. Access says (not responding).
Should I have created the MDE before I split it? Or does crashing of Access have nothing to do with whether i create the MDE before or after splitting?
Hi All. I have searched forums......honest!! But cannot find an answer.
I have the following code to make a directory....the directory name is as the ID_number....
--------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Command216_Click() Dim strDirectoryPath1 As String strDirectoryPath1 = "\server1Helpdesk_Calls" + CStr(Me.ID_Number)
If Len(Dir$(strDirectoryPath1 & ".", vbDirectory)) <> 0 Then MsgBox "The project folder already exists, the folder will now open"
Else MkDir (strDirectoryPath1) MsgBox "A folder has been created on the network at location \Server1Helpdesk_Calls" + CStr(Me.ID_Number) stAppName = "C:Windowsexplorer.exe \Server1Helpdesk_Calls" + CStr(Me.ID_Number) Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
This works fine, and makes a directory on the network drive i.e
\server1helpdesk_calls123456
My question is, how do I also make it create directories under this one i.e
\server1helpdesk_calls123456Emails
It is the ID_number that is throwing me....have tried with numerous goes!!
relationships div and subdiv (1 to many) subdiv and issues (1 to many) issues and subIssue1 (1 to many) subIssue1 and subIssue2 (1 to many)
Now resolution table could have a one to many relationship with either issue table, subIssue1 table, or subIssue2 table. When I go to create any of those relationships, Access won't allow me. Tells me it can't create this relationship and enforce referential integrity.
Possibly I need to restructure my database to accomodate? I am not sure, any help would be appreciated.
