I am new to Access and not a sophisticated user of computers. I've been given the task of redesigning some forms on an existing data base. I understand how to put the new fields I'm adding into the table associated with the forms I'm working on, but I've having a hard time actually moving stuff around the screen and getting it lined up.
Is there an online tutorial or reference I can go to that will teach me the layout basics?
Hi,
I have some basic VBA and ADO recordset exposure, and would like to create a form, that:
- allows a user to search 4-5 fields (client & business name based information)
- return options of records to view that match that data
- allow user to make a selection, which then provides another form with full details of that client's record(about 20 fields)
Can anyone provide an example or perhaps guidance on a good tutorial, that will take me through this process gently (and help me understand the process)!
Regards and thanks
Mack
I was using this form tutorial to password protect my administrative tools. When I went to run it I received this:
"User defined type not defined" and the line Dim rs As DAO.Recordset was highlighted.
I have little experience with VB and I was wondering if someone here had any idea if it was their code that was wrong, or if it was something I did...
I’ve recently added form functionality on my website, which runs with the aid of a perl script and sends the results via an email message.
I’m currently able to import, or link, data from a specific mail folder (Outlook 2002) to an MS Access database (Access 2002). However, my problem is the message body, which contains the data I’m interested in, is all placed in the one field.
I would like the data contained in the message body to be imported into separate fields but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.
I can arrange the data within the email message body to conform to a particular format if needed, even HTML, but I can't work out how to import the data into separate fields.
Tried searching this forum but couldn’t find the answers. Perhaps there is a better way of processing online forms, one which I’m not aware of.
My web service does support mySQL and also has ODBC dirvers for Access but this to me seems like an over kill approach particularly since I don't need access to data from the website (active pages)
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?

Does anyone knows a good VBA for Access tutorial or documentation i can download so i learn how to write the Event Procedures in MS Access?
Thank you for your help.
I have been selected to do a project by my department head. It involves programming an Access database to do various things. It has to have forms and all that good stuff. I'm trying to get the higher powers to get a web server for me to do this as a web application, but I may need to fall back on the Access idea. So I need a good tutorial on programming in an Access environment. I know it uses VB and I am pretty decent when it comes to programming with that language. What I need help with is how to do certain things like close a form using an onclick event or to print a report. There's a lot I need to be able to relearn so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it much. I'm doing this for a Commander in the US Navy...(several ranks above me )...so I need to be able to pull this off!!
Thanks much,

Hi All
I have just spent 30-40 minutes reading through this forum. So many solutions. Excellent. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif
Smile I am just starting Access and I want to find a course where there are exercises which will take me to a reasonably proficient level.
If anyone has done come across a book CD or online that they would recommend then I’d be most appreciative.
All the Best

Hi
I am new to Access and would like to learn by taking on small projects.
Does any body know any good tutorials for beginners that could show how to start a database for a list of customers or something similar?
I have looked at the ones that can be created with the Wizards but obviously this doesn't help you understand the mechanics.
I would like to learn the 'nuts and bolts' so that I can expand the database and create new ones the more advanced I become.
Any good suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Now I have been working for a few months with ACCESS but one thing that keeps giving me trouble and that is the "Expression Builder". I look at the Microsoft Help and it is not good in explaining this part of ACCESS. I have Access books and they are not good with explaining this aspect of Acess. Is there anyone with a good source to point me in the direction to learning the Expression Builder better then I know now?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello all!
I have been searching online for the past couple of days for a thorough tutorial that aids the user to make his/her own detailed database based on example data (that does not necessarily have to be adhered to) supplied as the tutorial progresses.
As a student participating in an advanced computing class, I feel that this would benefit me as I can do as the steps ask and see how certain things are done. I am not a complete Access mug... I have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals, but stumbling accross an in-depth tutorial that details all of the standard features (tables, queries, forms etc) along with possibly some example modules would be excellent and beneficial.
All I have found so far is various snippets - "SQL basics" and "Macros: what they do and how to implement them" for example - these miss the bigger picture I am looking for. Surely a step-by-step tutorial on "Designing and working a fully-featured database from the gound up" is not that rare!
Thanks in advance for any help. :)
Hi,
I'm using Access 2000.
I currently use a form to enter my customer details. As soon as the info is entered I need to send out a "thank you for joining" letter, but I can't figure out how to print out a single field, it prints them all.
Ideally I'd like to have a button on the form so I can print it out on a template.
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to do this, or offer any advice please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
New member here. I've searched this forum and the internet but came up dry and sure could use some guidance.
There are plenty of references to being able to use Access 2003 VBA to open a separate program (in this case it will be Internet Explorer 6.0) and scrape data from the window, importing it into a table. But all of the references only mention that it can be done, not how to do it. Apparently, it is such a common thing that pretty much everyone except me already knows how to do it.
Can anyone please point me toward a tutorial that walks step-by-step through the process of using VBA to open IE and extract data? If there isn't an online tutorial, maybe someone has an example I could use to figure it out.
Any and all help is appareciated.
Thanks,
DiverGuy
I am very new to ASP and Access. I need to learn how to create a database full of images and text to feed dozens of webpages for a new site I am doing. I have googled many times and can't really find what I am looking for. I've come across ADO several times. Is this similar to what I am looking for? Thanks.

I am a beginner at best with Access. (I'm using Access 2003) I have a small in home business as a second job making silk flower arrangements. I am now to the point that I need to track my inventory, quantity used, COGS, etc. Most of my arrangements are in gift shops on consignment.
In lieu of buying Quickbooks Manufacturing ($$$), I want to start tracking everything with Access so I can at least get some nice reports at tax time.
The problem I am having is I cannot translate the tutorials that Microsoft supplies to this application, they only cover setting up basic tables. (ie: in a retail/inventory application - do I set up 1 table, 1 table & subtable, 2 tables????)
I set up a table so far with 4 basic inventory fields:
Item description (record includes: flower, vase, foam, etc) / Color / Qty on Hand / Cost. Then (on the same table) finished goods fields of: Qty Used / Arrangement # / Qty Left / Sold for. While trying to figure out how I am going to track how much each arrangement cost, I'm not sure this set up will work.
I probably went into too much detail for my question, but I wanted to give some kind of background. Is there a CD/Book/Tutorial that specifically guides one through setting up a retail/inventory table?
Sorry so wordy.

Have any of you ever used some really good online training? I really need to get good with ASP.NET, VB.NET, ADO.NET and SQL 2007 Server ect. I want to do some self pased online training, anyone used a really good service for this?
Thanks you!
Greetings,
I have created a database to track applicants’ eligibility process. Mainly, a Head of Household will call or apply in person for a medical assistance for self or for child #1, child #2 etc. I created two tables tblHeadHouseHold and tblApplicants with a (one-to-many relationships) and, a main form (frmHeadHouseHold) and a subfrom (sfrmApplicants). So far, the database works fine and just recently, I was approached first, to make this database available online, so that applicants can go to a given center (clinic) to fill in the application, and we then pull the application from the office. Second, to add a new field (source of Application) where applicants learn about our program (Friend, School, Doctor, Advertisement, other) to create a ‘Source Report’, how many from friend, how many from school, from Advertisement etc.
I’m using access 2003 and would like to know:
1. What I need to make the existing db available online
2. Given the type of report I need to generate for ‘Source of Application’ shall I use check box, drop downs,
or a lookup table?
Thank you in advance,
OCM
Hey guys,

We are working on an access2000 database that will incorporate various "tutorial" or "training" elements in the db on how to use the db (mostly links to outside PDF files, etc.); the training elements guide users on how to do various data entry tasks, report generation, etc.
Is there a way, in Access, to track which "step" of the procedure a user is on? For instance, if they make it through Exercises 1-5, is there a way we can add some sort of indicator that lets them know, when they come back to it a week later, that they left off on Exercise 6? I have seen this done in various software tutorial packages, but I'm not sure how it is accomplished?
Any suggestions?
