Now each of these Tickers has a whole table of options associated with each particular ticker and the EASIEST way for me to proceed would be to simply link row MSFT with an ENTIRE table of MSFT_OPTIONS then link IBM with the table IBM_OPTIONS.
Keep in mind that I don't have a field called TICKER in the options table and MSFT does not appear anywhere in the options table.
I know I can go and add the TICKER field to the OPTIONS_TABLE and then assign a primary key and then link them both but this would involve a great deal more work since I have hundreds of stocks with options tables to link. The data I get is in a specific format and I don't want to have to massage the data too much.
I'm building a simple db to track people with access to systems and buildings (Access 2000). I have three tables:
1. People (names, ID, etc.) with a primary key of an autonumber 2. Bldgs - y/n fields of bldg #'s with a primary key of a number (linked one to many from the People table) 3. Systems - essentially the same set up as Bldgs table (though they're not related)
People may have access to either bldgs, systems, both or none.
So I build a query to combine all three tables. If I add a new record (to the People table and only one of the other two tables) I can't go back later and add data to the third linked table seemingly because the autonumber exists in the other two tables but not that one. Well, sure.
So the question is, I'm obviously missing something insanely obvious, or if not, how do I get around this? It's driving me nuts.
I read somewhere that the main difference between JET AND SQL server is that a query rn through JET transfers the whole table across the network to the client machine and then processes it. Whereas, SQL server just transfers the particular record, say if you use a stored procedure. Is this actually true? What about if it's usng a SQL back end? Any links on this subject?
I have one table that will consists of about 1,000 rows. I have another table that consists of product codes that we want to exclude from the report. I know how to include the two tables by joining, but I want to EXCLUDE the 2nd table of product codes. Basically, if any of the product codes listed on table 2 are on table 1, I don't want them to appear. So how can I do an exclude function in a query?
Is there a way to import the records from another database table? I have an inventory database, blank, only the backend data is there. So everyone goes out on their own and gets inventory. At the end of the day, I would like to get flie 1, file 2, file 3, and only open file one, and only import the record from the other two inventory tables.
All these files will be exactly the same(Tables, queries,forms, everything). The only thing that will be different will be the data in the inventory table. Thanks for you help!
I have a table that has the following: Joint Account, Employer, Employer1...Employer20, subemployer1, subemployer2... subemployer5, addemployer1, addemployer2... addemployer5, removeemployer1, removeemployer2....removeemployer5.
It might be possible that any of the columns with the word "employer" in them have the same number in them. The Joint Account column might have the repeating number in it as well.
I want to be able to push a button on a form open a input box and enter a 7 digit employer number and search through the whole table and return all the rows where that number particular number is.
I have tried building a query using "like" in the criteria but you can only use that 8 times.
I have searched through this forum, but I am unable to find something that I could use. As I m not a seasoned access user, I do not quite know what to do with some of the other "search" questions I have seen.
Thank you in advance for any help that could be given or pointing in the right direction.
I am currently working with a database that has a table called "Students." I need to import records from a textfile that has a bunch of records, some new, some existing records but updated. I got them to import into a table used for imports (called "Import Table") and I was able to run a query to append the records if they were not already existing, but how do I get a Query to do both new inserts and updating existing records with new info from the imported data?
i.e.
Bob is in the database already, but needs to update his records. His updated record is in a textfile which is now in the "Import Table". But in that same textfile/table, there are some new people that need to be added.
I am trying to change all the fields of a table from All Caps to Propercase. I have used strconv propercase before, however only on a field by field basis. I have about 5 or tables that I have to do this to and am trying to save the typing. I know I can do this with a recordset (easily in asp), but am not familar enough to do this in vba. Can you do a for each fld, like in asp, or am I going at this the totally wrong way. I tried using an update query with the *, but access doesn't like that too much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please help.... I have combined 2 Tables using a select * query. I have to do it this way as the data changes. The issue I have is that in both tables there is a common field called "Amps" Hence my resultant table has 2 columns, Table1.Amps and Table2.Amps. Every time this occurs I want to delete Table2 column entirely as I use this table to plot a graph.
In short- I need to know the code to delete a column from an existing Table.
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
I have a form with two unbound text boxes: HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, and a button HireButton which runs my query: HireHistoryQuery. Then I have a table: HireHistory. In my HireHistory table, I have my CustomerID's along the top as column names. Then the records for those columns are in this sort of format: "0001 on 19/05/2006" as type Text.How can I make it so that when a user enters a Customer ID (e.g. 23) into my HireCustomerID box in my form, it shows column number 23 and all it's records?
Also, what code do I need so that if someone enters something into the HireMovieID text box in my form (e.g. 0001) it shows all of the instances of that from the whole table in its respective column?
I have a local table that I am trying to append to a linked table. The fields are exactly the same. When I try to append the entire local table to the linked table I get an error code.
ODBC- insert on a link table failed. [ctreeSQL]-17002 CT- Key value already exists in index (linked table field) (#-17002)
If I specify the criteria in the field to refer to a specific value in the local table, it updates it just fine. I want an append query because I don't want to manually update 500+ records!! I don't believe an update query would work because the values are not in the current linked table... so nothing to update!
No matter how much I maximize or minimize Access (2010) my tables fill the entire screen. This happened once before but I don't recall the fix. It was something very simple. How to make the table not fill the entire screen?
I have run into an issue with a basic DLookup. The database has grown in size and now we could have multiple entries, but I want it to return a certain one. So the information could be in it three times. Of course DLookup stops after the first one. How do I get it to loop to check the entire table? Someone mentioned to me to use a recordset, but how to write that as I have never used it before. Below is what I was using until this new request came up.
<code> Private Sub txtloan1_AfterUpdate() If IsNull(DLookup("[loan1]", _ "settlement", _ "[loan1]=""" & Me.txtloan1.Text & """ AND [status] = 'Open'")) = False Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Test", vbOKOnly, "Warning" End If End Sub </code>
This was also executing after the user entered the information within a text field. I did not want them to enter all the data and then have it come back as a duplicate.
I am working on this database where each category contains certain thickness ranges that can be stored in a pack of x amount and finally paneltypes. ie KS1000 only comes in 40mm 50mm 75mm and paneltype MR is the one associated with it.
there are 3 tables tbl_Customer tbl_catergory tbl_product -------------------- tbl_Customer: -CustomerID (autonumber) Primary key -CompName -CompAddr -ContactFName -ContactSName --------------------- tbl_category: -CategoryID (autonumber) Primary key -Category (combo box) this has set values entered i.e.
KS600 KS900 KS1000 KS1000LP KS1000RW ------------------ tbl_Product: -ProductID Primary key (autonumber) -fkeyCategoryID (foreign primary key) -Thickness (combo) this has set values of thickness ie. 40, 50, 55, 60, 70, 80, 100, 150, 180 -NoInPack (set number directly related to the Category and thickness chosen) i.e. Category KS1000 with thicknesses of 55 can be stored in a pack of 17. KS1000 with thickness of 60 can be stored in a pack of 22.
-PanelType: (combo box) set values as follows: MR (this selected item relates to products KS600 KS900 KS1000 ) EB (this selected item relates to product KS1000RW ) CX (this selected item relates to product KS1000 ) MM (this selected item relates to product KS1000 ) WV (this selected item relates to product KS1000 ) --------------- I would like to be able to setup a form that a user uses to provide a quote: It would start with using the Category combo box which lets you select one of the choices (i.e. KS1000) but the combo box would also have multiple column headings ie. Category/Thickness/NoInPack. Once selected then the next several individual field boxes (ie. thickness, NoInPack) are automaticallly populated with the selection just made in the Category combo box.
NOTE: Many categories can be chosen just for one record. I therefore do not want to start setting up fields like Product1 product 2 etc and their associated fields like thickness1, thickness2 etc. I'm failing in the relationships section. Please see attached database. I have tbl_category: CategoryID (1) --------> (many)fkeyCategoryID from tbl_Product I have tbl_Product: ProductID (1) -------->(many) CustomerID from tbl_customer I know that i need a junction table somewhere.... but i'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, (pls scuse my english, it's not good) I'm a newbie to Access and I'm learning access I'm trying out one scenario to see if I can do it but I'm stuck.. main scenario is that a local company has decided to computerise their wage systems, but the wage system is very confusing.. data modeling has already been done in this example but as I understand the boxes(entities) in ERD becomes tables right? so I have like five tables.. Pay method, Employ type, Employ, Department, Division..
I know what to do with Employ, Department and Division but Pay method and Employ type is confusing for me I don't know how to work out attributes (fields) for these.. I have four different paying methods depending on 7 different types of categories of employees.. how would it work?
Also if you guys have any links that explains sort of similar scenario I would appreciate it very much.. thank you..
Oh and since I'm a newbie I'd appreciate it if you give me a simple answer not complex solutions,
I have a current employee's table and Retired/Resigned table, when an employee either retires, resigns or gets fired, i want to be able by the click of a switch or check box of some sort to move that record to the retired table. Your input is greatly apprectiated....
The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.
I'm sure this is a simple issue, but so simple I can't find the answer.
I have a recipe DB and have calories and fat and fiber fields, I want to have another field which will display a point count for a formula (calories/50+Fat/2+fiber/5) but the catch is if the fiber number entered is over 4 I only want the calculation to use 4 max.
Not sure how or where to create this formula to populate a field in the DB.
As you can tell I'm new to all this and any help would be appreciated.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
Hi all, new member with a newbie question. I have just started working with Access, so pardon if this question is unclear or pitifully basic. We have a basic database comprised of client names, amounts paid to-date and balance due. It also has a field named date last paid, so here is the question. When you enter or change the amount in paid to-date, can you automatically have the date of the change (ie. Todays Date) entered in the "Date last paid" field.
I've never used Access much...i was able to use it OK at one point but ive forgotten all about it now. I need to create something very simple for the reception at my work...
When a customer phones we want to be able to keep track of how they heard of us - so we want a very simple access/VB program.
The best way would be to have buttons of each of the magazines our company is listed in..then when someone phones and says "ahhh magazine 3" the receptionist can press a button and the button will add 1 to a field in a table?/report? next to that magazine.
Hope that makes sense :s
Any help would be very appreciated! - It seems very simple to do ?
Okay I've looked around but haven't found an answer to this, if there is one in the forum please forgive me.

Please Help!

I have a new table that I added to the back end of my Access 2003 database. I compacted & repaired both the front and back and I can't see the new table in the front end still. Do you know why this is?? I can't find anything on this. thanks-
I am working on a new system. Have been given Full MS Access but Link Table Manager fails it gives a standard security warning that this new system enforces it says Opening: CProg..FilesMSOfficeOffice11ACWZTOOL.MDE however on selecting OPEN nothing happens. If Cancel is hit then long critical message saying in short " Can't find wizard , syntax error in delerations in VB. Likewise I cannot link to a spreadsheet without using the manager.
Question is there anything I can do or is it the fact that these are options were not installed and it is an administrators job?
