I'm a novice Access 2003 user who doesn't know any VBA. I've been trying to devise a database for a college library to record which newspapers are delivered each day. I have 2 tables at the moment: Newspapers and Deliveries.
Newspapers consists of Name (primary key), Price, and a Yes/No field for each day of the week. Deliveries consists of Name and Date.
My problem is in constructing a form to deal with selecting which papers have been delivered each day. The Yes/No field for each newspaper should be used to choose which ones to show on the form (i.e. some newspapers are delivered weekly on certain days and I don't want these showing on the other days).
My department handles all two-way email communication with our customers. We have 8 different email addresses that we use depending on the customer service issue. I'm looking for a way to continuously collect 3 pieces of data from every email that is received: 1) Date Received, 2) Time Received, and 3) To Field (which of the 8 email addresses it was sent to).
As you can imagine the collection of this data to look for trends to assist with staffing needs, as well as analyze build reports for the company to review. I've been working with my IT department on this but they are not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to have them collect the data as it is coming into the email server, right? I'm good with VB and I've built some VBA scripts recently that collect Outlook information, but these only work if the computer I'm using stays on all the time which is not always practical. We'd like to have this database stored on one of our shared drives which collects this data indefinitely from our email server.
I need some advice on what is the best way to import data. I have a access 2003 database that tracks converter boxes that my company sends out for repair. Currently they have a excel file that is imported into the tables which establishes the converters that are out being fixed. When they come back from service they enter the date manually from the packing slip by searching for the converter in the forms search. We now are able to get the received converters on a excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to import the date from the excel file to the access table. Any advice would be great.
Hi, I want to run a query that returns only records where we haven't received 2 items for them from a possible 4. I can't seem to get my head around it! At the moment I have:- Recd Date 1Recd Date 2Recd Date 3Recd Date 4 Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null Is Null
But obviously this isn't correct as it would return all records! I only want to show records, which haven't got 2 received dates. I thought about counting the number of received dates in a record but wasn't sure how to code this up?
I'm trying to add items received to my inventory table. If the item is already in the table, I just want to update the number and cost etc. If the item is not in the inventory table I want to add it. My problem is determining which item in the source table is already in the target table so I can either update of add. how to find an item number in target table by looping through the source table?
Here's the code I've written which doesn't work.
Dim I As Integer Dim db As Database Dim rs As Recordset Dim rs2 As Recordset Set rs = Nothing Set rs2 = Nothing Set db = CurrentDb
I am trying to convert a CSV file that I receive from UPS to a simpler table. I have over 3000 entries from 25 different locations and I need to evaluate the shipping cost. Is there a way in Access to convert the file as attached or should I be trying to use Excel?
I have a query that lists the total number of parts received by month. I would like to be able to compare those monthly totals with a rolling 12 month total. I've been able to get the rolling 12 month total, but I can only get it to work for one 12 month period.
Is there a way to get a 12 month total for each month? In other words for April, I would like a 12 month total of May 2013 through April 2014. For May, I would like a 12 month total of June 2013 through May 2014. Is that possible? If so, how would you go about doing it?
I have a field in my table titled REL_MONTH that shows a negative number for how many months ago something is (i.e. 00 = May, -1 = April, -2 = March).
I'm trying to automate some processes. My company uses Outlook 2010 and every day we need to go into our "Sent" folder and rename the Subject line of all of our sent emails. We change the subject to a standardized format depending on the content of the email and who the email was sent to. These are then used as part of an equation to tally our Transactions Per Hour. (TPH)
I've already designed a small Access 2010 utility to track the TPH, but I would like to add the functionality to parse some data from the subject lines of my "Sent" folder, and automatically make changes to save some time.
Here is my thought process:
- Click "Process Sent Emails" button from TPH utility. - Access runs through each email in the "Sent" folder (or perhaps only selected emails) and changes the Subject line per simple Select Case criteria (I can figure that part out).
I would like to create a query to show only the Work Orders that all parts ordered have been received.For the Work Order, each part ordered has a "complete" yes/no checkbox.If I use that field in the criteria of the query, it does return only parts that are "complete." However, it still shows me a Work Order where there are parts ordered but not received "not complete." how to set the query to exclude those cases and only return Work Orders that all parts ordered on the Work Order are received "complete."
I have a database that I use for keeping track of clients and printing invoices using a form/sub-form and report/sub-report. I want an image to be visible on my sub-report when I choose Received Payment in my sub-form. Right now I have my image set to visible = no.
How to use combo box that drops down the date received from which the user can select todisplay "receipt form" on and after that date. [need to use macro]
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
Well, I am facing one problem..in my application; I need to show all forms / reports name of other database( .mdb ) file without opening the other database physically. I tried a lot but didnt succeded. I tried with below code..
Set AcApl = New Access.Application Call AcApl.OpenCurrentDatabase(strfolder, True) Set AcProj = AcApl.CurrentProject
Set frm1 = AcProj.AllForms
intCount = frm1.Count
But here wen the second line AcApl.opencurrentdatabase get executed at that time the database get open physically, and i dont want that..So is there any other way around..If so..please please help me..
i have a database that runs updates from within itself.what i need is, this database to then open a another database run a update query, then close it.
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.
I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.
Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.
I am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
Is it possible to access a table in one Database (Database A) from a separate Database (Database B) and if so how. I should clarify that this is an Access Database.
I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open. and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have a car dealership database and have a servicing section.
I want to create a form to service these vehicles.
The only vehicles which will be displayed on the from are the sold ones (because you cannot service a vehcile which hasnt been sold) which i have a query for.
I also want the form to display the customer who owns the car the service details (eg what they need), the parts availiable and the parts required for the service.
The calculations i need to make in this form are as follows
quantity needed (parts required table) - quantity in stock (purchasing customer parts table)
