Opinion On Design Idea/possibility
Aug 23, 2007
Hello Everyone
I am looking to build and Overtime tracking form and have been pondering on the design of it. Here is my idea and not sure how I should go about doing it (straight forms and tables or queries). I would like to select my employees in a combobox and have their information autofill the remaining fields and/or add new ones. Additionally have fields that I can input any overtime occurred which would be stored in a seperate table but displayed in a sub-form in datasheet view. These fields that were just filled out with the overtime information would clear everytime the add record button is hit.
I know that sounds like alot and sure I can muddle my way through that part of it, the big question I have is do I need a seperate table for every employees overtime? Or is there code/query that can select the records of the selected employee and display the information that pertains just to them?
Has anyone come across or posess a sample database similar to this? If not can someone point me in the right direction for example code and tutorials?
I look forward to hearing from everyone on this.
Thank You
Jaz

Is there possibility to do unambiguous identification of file in vba ? I mean this :
- at the beginning you have file on hard drive, ex. : aaaa.doc
- some time later you will do some change, for ex: change of its name to bbbb.doc or you add some text in word document ...
I need to do some code for finding files although their names or content was changed.

I am trying to create a report that filters out certain records in a look-up field.
The field is called "program status", and the options are:
Housed
Evicted/Un-housed
Grad
GRAI
Closed
I want the report to display only records that are classified as "Housed" or "Evicted/Un-housed". Additionally, I'd like to be able to create a second report with only the Grad, GRAI, and Closed records.

I was contacted today by a staffing agency and was told that I looked like a good fit for a Data Analyst position. The agency and wanted some more information about my resume and wanted me to email them my references. Next step I would assume would be an interview.
I did want to post the responsibilities of the job and see if other DBAs thought it looked like entry level work. The only thing I know about the company is that they are automotive and pay is under 40K. I have been trying to break into IT for the past few months and this looks like a great opportunity. :) I appreciate your comments.

hi,
If I just want to display a relationship between two tables or more with a form and a subform, and I don't want the users to edit/delete/add the data - just view it. What is the best way - queries, bound forms etc? I created a form with a subform, but then ran into problems because I don't want them to be updated, only viewed.
Thank you !!!

I have a table that contains 4 columns: index (w/ auto generating number), timestamp, current user, and notes. The notes column is a Memo data type and is used to capture free-form notes typed into a text box.
I would like to display all notes typed by a specific user and do it in a single control, preferably a text box. This way someone can look back over time and review all the notes they typed / added to this table. Is it possible to display multiple rows from a table in a single text box or do I need to use a list box?

Hi everyone,
Could someone please share their opinion with me on the following:
I have a database with a Table which stores People's details, e.g. ID, Name, Surname, ...., etc (e.g. tblPeople) .
Now I have people filling out a questionnaire, of which the results I want to save in an Access table. Each person will fill out this questionnaire only once. The number of fields I will need to accomodate the answers to questions asked, is around 120. For example, an answer to Question1 will appear in a field called Q1.
I know that the limit for fields in a table are 255, and my total fields in tblPeople so far are about 20.
Should I keep Q1 and all other fields in the same table as tblPeople, or create another table to hold all answers and create a one-to-one relationship between tblPeople and tblQuestions&Answers ?
Can someone give me a tip, in particular if this will cause performance problems?
I appreciate your effort for reading this.
Kind Regards,
Jean

I have attached a word doc showing my table relationships. I would like an opinion on as to whether it is normalized correctly. It is for a bowling league that has 10 teams and 50 bowlers. The team names, lane assignments will change every year and the bowlers will be on a different team from season to season.
Also the tblScores is set the way it is because some bowlers will show up late or injure themselves so because of the awards that are handed out at the end of the year for high scores, perfect attendance etc. this is how I thought it would work best.
I wanted to make sure before I put all the bells and whistles in. Thanks in advance.

I realize that this issue has likely been beaten to death in past threads; my recent participation in one brought this issue to light.
Can I get a general feeling from participants concerning the dangers involved in the practice of compacting and repairing databases on a server? I greatly respect the advice I get from these forums, and those who give it, however there seems to be some disagreement between people on this issue.
If there is a danger of loosing records, why does this occur? Are there versions of Access where these problems are solved? Do you think that frequency of use, or volume of data have anything to do with the risks?
Thank you all!
Andrew

Folks I need your help; just wanted to get your opinions here.
I work in a small engineering group and we have lots of reference documents in word and excel which we typically use for any projects. Currently, all these files are stored in Lotus Notes database. Unfortunately, they are pulling the plug on Notes license starting this fall. Therefore, I have been asked to see if there is a way we can store these files in Access as a repository and query the database whenever we need some information.
In order to avoid the database size getting too big, my thought was to store the .xls/.doc files as an “OLE object” data type, keep the files in local hard drive and create a link in a form to give the user to retrieve the information.
Do any of you have any suggestion on what is the best way to handle this?
Your input is highly appreciated.
Shan.

Is it possible to run a query when a check box is pressed? If it is possible how would i then go about comparing the result. I would like it so that a count query is run when the check box is pressed and then if the result is 20 or greater then a command button is disabled. Any help?

Hey everyone,
I have a crazy idea that I think would be very cool if I got it working, but have no idea where to start. I have a database that is broken down into a front end and a back end, and there are about 10 users who use it off and on throughout the day. This database has an entry form to enter new records. I am wanting to put a text box or a label on that main form that would turn green if the database was in use by another user, besides the one that was currently looking at the form. It would be red if there are no other users accessing the database. Is this even possible? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Yesterday I redesigned some of the forms in our database and all was working fine. It works fine on every pc in the office except 1.
On his pc he gets the following error when opening the database:
"An error occurred while loading form_ContractChargessub. Do you wish to continue?"
If you choose yes the database will open but it doesn't work. I have no idea how to even begin to solve this problem.
I did notice that he was running Access 2003 and everyone else is on 2002. Could this be the problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Looking for some advise and help. I think an array will be recommended and if so, please help with code on how to do this.
I am trying to track prescription (Rx) dates (RxOutDate) going out to medical professionals on a particular order. There can be mulitple Rx going out so there will be multiple dates of when those Rx went out. What I would like to do is have the earlies date posted. ie one Rx went out on 10/13/04 and another goes out on 10/14/04. I would like for the 10/13/04 date to show. I'm using a continuous form to display all Rx's per order, on frmRx. I'm trying to display the date out on the form containing the order (frmOrder).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If an array is suggested. Please help with code on how to it. I've never written one so I would definitely be in the dark.
Thanks ahead of time,
Shane

hi ,
see below for the current code to find a duplicate surname (this works Fine)
now that ive properly thought it through what i need to do is insert a surename and if (by Chance) when i insert the Date of Birth if this is the same highlight it as a duplicate record. However if these people are twins then i need the option to insert the duplicate record.
any ideas on how to go about this, see code below.
Private Sub Text24_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SID As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone
SID = Me.Surename.Value
stLinkCriteria = "[Surename]=" & "'" & SID & "'"
'Check StudentDetails table for duplicate StudentNumber
If DCount("Surename", "tblData", stLinkCriteria) > 0 Then
'Undo duplicate entry
Me.Undo
'Message box warning of duplication
MsgBox "Duplicate Name " _
& SID & " has already been entered." _
& vbCr & vbCr & "You will now been taken to the record.", vbInformation _
, "Duplicate Information"
'Go to record of original Student Number
rsc.FindFirst stLinkCriteria
Me.Bookmark = rsc.Bookmark
End If
Set rsc = Nothing
End Sub

My primary key for my database a WorkOrder Number. The issue is that sometimes problems span a selection of WorkOrders. For example, if we get a lot of bad parts, 3 different WorkOrders might be affected, and each may have different resolution to the effect.
To speed up data entry, I've had a request to make a button that copies the all the information from a current record into a new one.
If much of this information repeats, it this a poor way to handle this data?
Currently it is pretty straight forward with ostly one->many relationships, and this would make things pretty complicated with a bunch of many<->many relationships.
Just want to know ya'll opinions.

I’m working to ever-improve a Help Desk-like database and I got this idea for “templates.” That is, a quick way to fill out the as much of the ticket form as possible when common issues come in.
So I’ve created a table (Templates)that mimics the structure of my ticket table (Incidents). I’ve gone into Templates and put the values I want automatically entered in each field and I’ve added a combo box and a button on my ticket screen. The combo box is populated, from Templates, with the name of each Template.
My problem is that I have no idea how to make each field on the Incident form populate with the values from the Template table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most of the data for this is in a spreadsheet now I know I can import it where I want it. The main concerbn is that the main piece of information would be the Job Address. Because of all this other information I was not really sure how to setup the tables here is what I have started .

I may be oversimplifying my idea here, but I'm trying to have Form A, which has a source of Table A have fields automatically filled out with values from Table B when I select a template name and click a button that's on Form A. I simply have no idea how to make something this simple happen. Any ideas?

I've got 20 checkboxes which i need to do the same thing but individually.
If IsNull(DLookup("[question 1]", "qryQuestions")) Then
chkQuestion1.Visible = False
Else
chkQuestion1.Visible = True
End If
I tried this:
Dim loopy As Integer
Dim tmpquest As String
For loopy = 1 To 20
tmpquest = "question " & loopy
tmpCheck = "chkQuestion" & loopy
If IsNull(DLookup(tmpquest, "qryQuestions")) Then
tmpCheck.Visible = False
Else
tmpCheck.Visible = True
End If
Next loopy
tmpquest works.
tmpcheck doesn't.
I tried dimming tmpcheck as lots of things but no luck.
Any help?

I am thinking of adding a Request form to my database so that if the user wants to add a code to the system, they could fill out the form click send and i would then be able to retrieve all the requests via a report.
I have designed the form to something like what i am after...
i have a few issue's here:
A)
i have set up an option wizard so that user can select if this is a new code or a failure mode request
if the user selects "New Event Code" i want the the text box and label for Eventcode Description to become visible and all others to become inactive.
i will explain what happens if the user chooses "Failure Modes" in a minute.
B) I have no idea what is the best method to sort the following section, if you look at my form at the bottom (Highlighted in red) i need this to be a continuous option as the user may wish to add more than one Failure mode to an Event Code.
C) going back to my options if the user select "Failure Modes" i need the bottom section to become active.
D) If that was not bad enough i have no idea on how to store this in a table.
Definitions:
Event Code ---> Top Line Code
Failure Mode --> Is the Event code description but broken down further
Any Advice or help would be much appreciated
All the best
Andy

Bax, I am still dealing with that problem of getting my statistics form to show. Is it possible for me to set it up so that when a new player is added into the player information table that the statistic table will populate itself with the [Uniform #], [FirstName] & [LastName] and default 0's to all statistical fields?
Just a thought....

Hi! I have a client who wants a training tracking software built that will allow for simultaneous use by up to 850 users. Is Access a good idea, or should I use SQL, and if yes to SQL, can you point me to some great documentation supporting this? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
