Hey all,
I'm an access noob, but decently experienced with Filemaker. I learned quickly that they are two very different animals with such a differing vocabulary, I may be in over my head with even the simplest concepts.
My problem: I am creating a quicky book order database for some professors. I have a value list (drop down menu) that references another table's column of professor names, but would like to create another value list dependent on the professor's name that would list the classes he/she teaches.
Table 1
Columns: Professor, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, etc
Form 1
a) Professor field drop-down menu/value list populated by values in the table 1's professor column
b) (need) A drop-down list that displays which classes the selected professor teaches.
Noob alert.
What I am trying to do is write either a 'yes' or 'no' to one of my access tables based on the criteria of a linked table. When I build my query, I input the following into the field:
Expr1: IIf(([5WellInformation]![LowPH]<5.5) Or ([5WellInformation]![HighPH]>10) Or ([5WellInformation]![Temperature]>75) Or ... , "Yes", "No")
My query type is 'Append Query'
The problem I am encountering is that I require 39 different criteria to come up with either a Yes or No. If anyone of those 39 criteria fail, than a Yes is written.
When I place the entire expression into the query, half of it is cut off because the expression is too long.
Any Ideas? Am I doing this right... or is there a different way I should approach this.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
I am trying to do an auto time stamp in a data access page without having to go to new record. What I am doing is farming out parts of a record to different departments, and I want to time stamp each time each department performs their query, but I want to be able to display the data for the department, and store the timestamp in the original table.
Everything is stored under the table [Appointments] and different departments enter certain things. For instance, Reception gives the customer a ticket # which they enter into the database based on the query for the customer appointment. On the data-access page, I want them to be able to see their check in time. I am able to do this with an expression, but I can't store it in the field. Here's what I have:
Expr1:Now() (this is in the query)
In the data access page I display Expr1 with no problem. How do I get the field [Reception time stamp] to equal Expr1? When I try to do it in the query, it treats it as another expression and doesn't store it in the field (Reception time stamp = Expr1)
Is there a way to assign a field the value of an expression in queries or data access pages?
In other words, for the field I have named "Reception Time Stamp" is their anyway to plug in the Now() value when I do my query? Not search for Now() but have it show Now() when I use the query in a data access page without having to create new record. I know how to do it when you time stamp it with new record, but how can I do it with a query that pulls up an existing record that more info is being updated on it.
Table Demographics:
Account Number (Primary)
Name
Address
SSN
DOB
Table Appointments:
Appointment Number (Primary Autonumber)
Appointment Date
Appointment Time
Account Number (Relationship tied to Demographics)
Reception Ticket #
Reception Timestamp
Cashier Amount Collected
Cashier Timestamp
Relationship is One to Many (One Demographic to Many Appointments)
Everybody will be entering data on a data access page using internet explorer, which makes this more tricky, as it would be easy to do using forms. So here's how it works. Appointments enters customer information, appt date, appt time, and account number.
Reception pulls up by date and name(queries) the appointment, and then enters a ticket number (Like taking a number to be waited upon) After they enter this and write this ticket number, I want an auto-time stamp to be saved under the appointment table for reception time stamp.
Then, when their number gets called, the cashier pulls up the patient by ticket number(queries) and collects money from the customer. After they write the amount they collected, I need an auto-time stamp.
The reason I need to auto time stamp is so I can calculate time difference from the customer walking in the door and going out the door. The main reason this has proven difficult is because I am doing all data entry on data access pages, and everybody will be using internet explorer. Another reason is because almost all info is being saved under appointments, and each department only enters a couple of things towards completing the appointment record.
Hi,
I am trying to put together a mailing list to send out invitations to local schools.
I have exceed documents with several school addresses and I need to add to each school, a listing for all of the homeroom teachers (i.e. 1st grade homeroom teacher, 5th grade homeroom teacher, etc.) as well as Art teacher and counselor for each grade
How do I create a querie that adds the title (art teacher, principal etc) to the list of addresses?
I am not very Access savvy so, you may need to dumb it down a bit. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you.

Hi
Im building a web application to control the stock of a small company.
I already made the database with all the items and descriptions in one table.
This table would be the main warehouse. so now i have to create 3 different departments in different tables where i have to move stuff from the main warehouse.
So if i have 10 boxes in main, and i move 4 to department1. then i would get 6 boxes in main and 4 in dep1.
My web app would be constantly updating the stuff being sold in departments 1,2,3.... so here is my question.
how do i make the database to update the quantities by itself in the main warehouse table if department X sells anything...?
Like in Excel, when you work with different sheets that can update the other ones if you change a number. the rows can be linked... can i do this in access?
Otherwise i would have to write a lot of extra SQL code in the ASP scripts and im really out of shape cause i don't program in ASP sisnce very long time ago... years.
Thanks!
I need to be able to update all the date records in a table using an update query. Any ideas of what i have to put in the 'update to' box to get all the dates to change from dd/mm/2005 to be dd/mm/2006
cheers for any help
I have a table which contains dates in the format (mm/dd/yyyy) as well as other information, I am trying to get an ASP website to update the date with values chosen by the user. The problem is that when using the UPDATE command it returns an error, saying the syntax is wrong. Here is my SQL statement and the error message it produces, if anyone has got any ideas, please let me know -:
"UPDATE Users SET Name = '"& UpName &"', DOB = #"& AddMonth &"/"& AddDay &"/"& AddYear &"# WHERE ID = "& ID &" "
The error message I get in return is -:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in date in query expression '#//#'.
Thanks in Advance

I was wondering if anyone knows any way to have the date/time field in my database automaticaly update itself to the current date when I change part of the data in that same line.
For instance, if I change the entry for last name, is there anyway to have the date field automaticaly change to the current date without me entering it manualy? Thanks for your time.
How do I set up a date field so that it changes to the current date whenever any other field in the record is changed?

Hey everyone,
I currently have an Excel Spreadsheet w/ 20 columns and 800+ rows. The columns are such things as Product, Product Code, Description, etc. It has clearly grown to big for an Excel file so I created an Access table from the spreadsheet called All.
Goal - have employees open a form and select a product from a dropdown box and then place check marks next to the info they would like to see for the product they chose.
I created a seperate table called Product, and a query for table All, and a report for the query. I created a form w/ a combo box that lists table Product and has a submit button. I added a criteria in the query under the column product that looks at this combobox. When you run the form, select a product, and click submit it opens a report that shows the results of the query for that product.
The part I cannot get is the check boxes that determine what columns are show in the report. I added a checkbox to my form and then went to my query and unchecked show and added a criteria to look at the checkbox in my form. All that did was erase the column from the query permanently.
I'm sure I'm going about this is the wrong way, but this is my first hack at Access and I'm trying to learn as I go.
thanks for any suggestions,
-Eric

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a complete newbie to MS Access, and I'm working on my 2nd database.
Just a small and probably retarded issue: I have a table which includes a field, which contains four numbers. In a query I want my users to be able to enter a number, like 6, and the three numbers after that will have to be wildcards.
Example: The field has these entries:
8243
8184
6423
When the user enters "8", it should show the first two records. When the user enters "6", it should show the third record.
How can I accomplish this?
Hi Guys
i have created a table and am trying to run a qry that counts specific data, i have been searching but cannot find the answer. I have a standard qry that has the criteria of "staff name" and dates between ## And ##. Now when that information is returned, how do i get a count figure for the results. So for example if there were 15 entries for september it would say september = 15 (ish). I have been told to assign a recordset but no other information was forth coming. Can anybody help with code or qrys for creating a recordset.
Please remember the noob status when it comes to access - lol
Cheers Guys

I have taken over the Access DB from Hell.....
Recently our system crashed and so I fixed compacted and repaired, and all seemed to be good to go. However, next day a bunch of random fields that our reps were once able to add information to are no longer able to add info to. They seemed to be locked out, however, I go into the various forms that were set up and enable is set to Yes, and Locked = No.
Any ideas?
This also effected a Check box field of 4 also.
Thnx for any help
I want to update my date field in my database everytime when the record is changed. I do not want to do this by using a macro and I cannot make it word by using the before update function. In the before update I have tried the following without success (nothing happens):
Private Sub Modified_Date_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me![Modified Date] = Now()
End Sub
I'm having a problem trying to update a date field from a button.
I have a form called Add_New_Domain which runs from a table called Domain_Names.
Within the form there is a field called Expiry_Date which tells me when the domain is set to expire. When I first create an entry I manually enter a date in here.
However, every year when the domain renews I would like to increase this date by exactly a year by clicking a button which is also on the form.
Hope nobody minds but I don't really know Access and I have a table that needs sorting pretty desperately.I have a table with 5 columns that I need to filter out so just the remaing records are left over.http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7328/untitled1wb8.th.jpg (http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled1wb8.jpg)The column 'fax' is the column with the records in it and the following columns need the record removing if the box is ticked.TimFPS, OurFPS, OnFPS, NeedsToBeFPS, however the column 'NumberWeHave' I'm not too sure about so I'll ignore it for now (I may need to take them out later)Sorry to be a complete noob and if anyone can help it will be muchos appreciated.

Hello im new to this and i been working since yesterday on a database. Basically I have 1 table that holds names and numbers asociated with and also the current state. that would be "ACTIVE" or "INACTIVE" and after a week or so (actually after i run a report) should change to "ACTIVE Z" and "INACTIVE X".
Now I have all the querrys and tables and forms and all. but what i want to do is to automate something im doing manually.
I run a querry that shows me only the records that have the state "ACTIVE" and i need to change them to "ACTIVE Z". Now what i am doing is, after running the querry i select all and go Control H and replace "ACTIVE" for "ACTIVE Z".
Is there any way to automate this.
cus i tryecd to do a macro that 1st open the querry and then executes the replace command but that just opens the replace pop up. I still have to tipe "ACTIVE" and "ACTIVE Z" in the fields to replace it.
Is there any way to automate this??
I would apreciate the help

As the title suggests i am brand new to Access (about 2 days). I am trying to create a query that will group the fields according to their names and then add the income for all orders for each individual customer. After that i simply have to sort them. I want to sum the total income per customer and put them into descending order.
Here's a small sample of the list to get the idea:
Customer NameIncome per Order
Sanchez, Cindy$1,326.00
Lizzack, Mark$1,326.00
Patel, Mitesh$1,092.00
Sanchez, Cindy$1,000.00
Patel, Maria$780.00
Mui, Sylvia$780.00
Patel, Mitesh$500.00
And what I'd like the results to be:
Customer NameIncome per Order
Sanchez, Cindy$2,326.00
Patel, Mitesh$1,592.00
Lizzack, Mark$1,326.00
Patel, Maria$780.00
Mui, Sylvia$780.00
Thanks immensely for any help you can offer. I realize there is probably a very simple solution to my question, but after 5 hours of searching the help button, and various online forums, I'm at my wits end.
Hi. I just started using databases and I am at a loss with some of the definitions. I could do with some help as these are part of my school work! Thanks.:D
What is the role of a 'form'
1.to hold data
2.to provide a 'form' format for reports
3.to provide a tool which sorts the data and prepares it for export
4.to provide a user-friendly data input 'front-end', which can additionally validate user input..
Thanks for any help....much appreciated:cool:

I am currently updating an old Db which rosters staff. One of the enhancements will allow the user to automatically allocate staff details to a Roster after a given date. i.e. Roster date 20th Feb 15, repeat for 3 days. 21st 22nd 23rd Feb 15. I have created a form with a medium date field and then a Combo box with drop down values of 1 thru 7 days. I want to link the combo box value to the Date box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHey everyone,
I'm new to access, I have been using Excel for quite a while and I am familiar with VB and macros.
I have never been much of a book learner, mostly hands on, which means a lot of reverse engineering to figure out why/how things work.
I have a scenario, and found a DB that had some functionality that I liked and I had reverse engineered it to do a lot of what I want.
Where I need some guidance:
1. on my opening form (Clients) I would like to be able to type in Client Number and have it return the correct info.
2. in my Who Has It is there a way to do data validation (or dropdown box) I mean I only want them to be able to enter valid names not crazy stuff like MickeyMouse.
Thanks a bunch!
