I hope (boy, do I!) that someone can help me with Access 2007 amd SQL.
I'm a graduate student taking a course in databases. I'm NOT techie, but I figured my husband or kids would be able to help me - they can't!
I am absolutely stumped and am hoping someone will be patient enough to chat with me about SQL and Access.
(You CAN query in SQL with Access, right?)
Thanks,
Bev
Hi, I am currently stuck on making a working one to many table relationship, I will post what I have so far, what I am stuck on is forming a proper working relationship.
tblCustomers
CustomerID
Name
Address(street)
City
Region
PostCode
Telephone
Discount %
tblOrders
OrderID
ProductID
Description
Qty
UnitPrice
tblProduct
ProductID
Description
Room
Finish
UnitPrice
Stock Qty
The desired output is a working order form, that when, for example you enter the product ID into the appropriate field automatically brings the rest of the product fileds such as description and unit price. And when the customer ID is put into the appropriate field all of the relative customer info is shown.
I am new to access and I apologise if my post is unclear or incomplete, any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Access Geniuses,
I am currently in the midst of conversation over at utteraccess.com about a large database project I am working on.
I will post the most recent updates here, but if you want to download the database for your own review, you'll have to go over to the other forum. By the way, this is NOT an advertisement. I am a real person with a real, significant, and immediate need of as much assistance as possible for this project.
Before I go on, a few things about me. Though I am in the legal profession, my technological background is very strong, including a high level of proficiency with MS Office apps with the exception of Access. I know my way around the program (the result of its homogeneity with the rest of Office), but have not made a real database in the past. I also do not know any programming languages.
I have recently indulged in an Access crash course of sorts, including some book and online study on things like planning, design, and normalization, but I am still having difficulty wrapping my head around making it work.
That said, the link to the other discussion is: [W W W DOT]utteraccess.[ADD DOT COM]/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1590364&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1
Feel free to gloss over it to see how things have progressed. Below is a paste of my most recent substantive post. Any help anyone can give me is of great value to me and I really, really appreciate it.

Hi Everyone,
Attached is the most updated version of my database project for your review. I have also attached a sample of the output we would like to have for each product. This sample is not based on actual data, but it clearly shows what we are trying to achieve via a form of some sort. More on this in a minute.
The following changes have been made to the DB:
-Changed tblTrustProspectusVersion to include the appropriate data, based on our business model.
-Added descriptions to all non-PK fields.
-Created relationships to illustrate how things fit together. Note that these are NOT the actual relationships, but are for illustrative purposes to help everyone here (including myself) further understand how things fit together.
Our Business:
I am part of my company's legal department. Our team handles a number of different things primarily associated with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). filings. We have two major product lines. Everything that happens with one in this DB happens with the other as well.
Each product within a product line has certain features and other necessary information we need to see when doing our filings (see the attached sample output). These features and necessities include, but are not limited to, various statuses, various numbers associated with the SEC, various important dates, etc.
In addition, each product has a certain "fund lineup" associated with it. These funds are made up of two components: the name of the fund (aka "portfolio") and the name of the subadvisor to that fund.
Futher, each of these funds is associated with a certain Trust. The SEC requires us to send prospectuses to clients based on these Trusts, which, as I mentioned, are comprised of the said funds.
Basically, we need to be able to select a product from a drop-down list and have all of the aforementioned information populate instantly.
Before I close, one question with respect to my "tblProductFeatures". Like I mentioned, each product has a certain set of features associated with it. Each feature has a certain fee associated with it. These features come in four basic categories: Living Benefits + fees, Death Benefits + fees; Maintenance fees (just short list of the possible fees); and 12b-1 fees (another short list of fees).
Since the features can be so easily broken down, should I add them to their own tables?
Please consider this as you give your advice on how to acheive my desired goal.
I hope this makes sense.
And again, thank you all so very much for your help thus far.
Best,
Gilbert
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
Hi All,
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.
Having a problem here after installing 2007. All my previously created databases work fine in 2007 (after clicking the enable, which is a pain,but don't know any other way) When I return to 2002 and try to open the databases I get different errors all something like this on....... "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events. Whats up here?????I have found a site here...http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.htmlMentions this problem,but refers to Vista..... Does the same apply to XP? And which is the best fix?

I have an Access 2000/2003 database which opens up and displays correctly in Access 2007, but when I go to use the File>Print command, or for that matter any of the other pull down menu's nothing happens?
Has anyone else experienced thisproblem, or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have created database but I now have 3 questions. I havce changed a subform to view as a pivot chart but I am unable to split and group in a similiar waay as in excel, is this just something I have to accept because otherwise my "lets have a works database" theory is shot.
2nd I would like to create a switchboard how do I do this.
and lastly some of the data I would like to utilise for mail merge document ( name and address stuff) are these easy to set up??
thanks very much

I am completely new to Microsoft Access but otherwise consider myself to be a Tech Geek. I have made a very simple and small database. It contains the name of my customers and the orders they have placed with my company over the past three years.
Now i want to generate report which when given the name of my customer would give me all the orders placed by that specific customer. I know how it can be done query but i want to do it through some kind of access page so that my subordinate who is very technically challenged can manage that.
Though i know it is a very basic question but i tried everything and could not do it....can somebody please please please help me.!!!!
Hi. I have a problem. I want to make a search form that will collect info from several tables and show the results in a list box, like a list(for example with the same name but with different other attributes ). I know it is possible and it is not hard but i'm novice to access. Thanks in advance :)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a database from scratch and have never used Access before. It's being set up to hold information gathered from a survey of roughly 2000 people on their fave Manchester songs and artists.
It's going to include their name, email, city and 1,2,3,4,5 choices of fave songs. The aim is to have everything in a simple datebase where I can work out who has voted for what in each section, how many votes a song got a position 1 and so on. But I also want to be able to work out the total number of votes over the five catagories.
Is there a way of doing this? I can bring up information by using query but can I be specific as to what information the query brings up?
This is probably a stupid question but any help would be very useful. I'm using the Idiots Guide to Access and as I said this is the first time I've ever used the program only installed it yesterday!!

Hello, this is my first post. I am very much a novice and have come across a problem that I'm sure is simple to solve but so far the solution has eluded me. All I want to do is subtract a field in one record from the same field in the next record in a query or report but I have no idea how to do it. Can anyone help please ?Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHI all,
I am a beginner at access, please help me.
I need to create a customer id filed that has letter and number together, i.e. ZH72773. And the id must change incrementally, but no number 00000. Also it should change the letters after the number reaches 9999, i.e. ZH9999 --> ZI0001.
Would anyone tell me how to do this, please.....thanks in advance

Hi everyone, heres a question I hope is easy to answer:
I have two tables, one containing about 1500 entires another with about 43,000.
I want to find out which entries in table1 are also in table2.
I really appriciate the help, thanks so much!!
I am quite new to access and am not sure if what i am trying to achieve is quite simple or needs some VBA Code written.
I have a large table (about 10,000 records) with a varitey of different fields, including "Member ID", "Banker Name", "Location" etc. I would like to develop a form where I can filter on a field such as "Banker Name" or "Location" (using a list box) and below (maybe in a subform??) for all of the records to appear that fall under that banker or location in a datasheet view.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm brand new at Access and would appreciate your help.
I have an existing database (table) and would like to make a duplicate table so that I can modify the new one without messing up the old one. How do I duplicate the table either w/ or without the data?
I've created a name tag. I'd like to create another name tag that's the same format except for a different group of people pulled from the database. How can I do this without having to re-create the name tag all over again?
Thanks for your ideas!
The database has three tables:
Equipment: 3 columns - ID, Nomenclature, Location
Procedure: 3 columns - ID, ProcedureNumber, ProcedureName
PMHistory: 4 columns - ID, Nomenclature, ProcedureNumber, CompletionDate
The PMHistory-Nomenclature is linked to Equipment-Nomenclature so that when an entry is made into PMHistory-Nomenclature there is a drop-down window showing all the equipment available. PMHistory-ProcedureNumber is similarly linked to Procedure-ProcedureNumber.
Assume four entries into the PMHistory table:
Equipment1, Procedure1, 3-September-2006
Equipment1, Procedure1, 19-September-2006
Equipment2, Procedure1, 4-September-2006
Equipment2, Procedure1, 20-September-2006
Equipment3, Procedure2, 5-September-2006
Equipment3, Procedure2, 21-September-2006
How to write a query so the result will only contain the latest date for each Equipment/Procedure pair.
The desired result is:
Equipment1, Procedure1, 19-September-2006
Equipment2, Procedure1, 20-September-2006
Equipment3, Procedure2, 21-September-2006

Hello friends.
Do you know anything about a new Developer Extension for Access 2007 ?
Thank :) :)
I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.
I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.
Any help? Thanks.
Hi,
I work in the quality control business and recently purchased a system which on first inspection seemed like the way forward, however I have since discovered that imputting the data is very slow.
I wondered if Access could be programmed to create a better database.
When a sample is tested, I would like the numberical values to change colour depending on whether it is inside or outside the specifications. (Is this possible?)
The main problem I can see is that samples of different substances will be analysed and each substance has different specifications. (Is it possible to set this up?)
I hope this question makes sense to you all
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

In the interest of speed in my current project, I'm working with bound forms, where in the past I have developed mainly using unbound forms. Hence, the word novice in my subject line.
Is there a way to do the following, and is it typically done?
The layout: A typical, record by record data entry main form, with a linked datasheet subform. The underlying query contains person's names and other associated data. The subform is a datasheet with an alphabetical listing of the person's names.
My goals (2 of them):
1. To have the datasheet subform go to the record selected on the main form.
2. To have the main form also go to the record selected in the subform.
The forms' On Current events conflicting with one another, as the subform's Current event fires whenever the main form's does.
could anyone advise how to get a date written to a field when a check box is changed to "yes"? i'm useless at VB!
thanks.
Hi everyone,
Basicly I am doing an Access Project for my school coursework, but I am really confused and my teacher isn't that great.
My coursework is based on a video rental company.
The database (in breif) has to be able to bring up a customers details, and add a loan to/under that customers details. (as you would expect from a video shop).
Now, to be honest, I dont know if I have the correct items in each table, but was wondering if someone would be so kind to have a quick look to tell me what to change and where to put the relationships for the database to work correctly.
I have taken a screen shot of my current database:

I am really grateful for this!
