I've got a huge problem. Lots of questions I need answers to, but I'll start with this. I have a client I was doing some web design and basic Access work for, and now they want this sorta-complicated database and I'm getting lost.
It's a big customer complaint database for a big manufacturing company, a local branch. I have all this data in one table because that's what they want.
One of the items is whether or not the company has a debit with a particular complaint, and, if so, how much it is.
The thing is, this debit number (currency) might change (update), but they want a YEARLY and MONTHLY report on "how much money we've lost, altogether."
Where do I start with that?
Big thanks to anyone who can lead me in the right direction. I have some experience with Access, but I'm by no means an expert or programmer.
Whenever I export reports to PDF, the output appears zoomed and clipped. No extra pages are generated as they would be if I'm going over margins, it's just the report is clipped.
The report looks perfect in preview mode, and it looks perfect when going to an actual printer. However, when using OutputTo to save it as a PDF, this is when the report content is clipped.
I open the report in preview mode first so events are fired that show/hide various objects based on fields in the recordset.
I've tried reinstalling, and I've tried this on two different machines, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows Server 2008...both with the same results.
I have written some code that will output to a spreadsheet in a given location:
how can I rework this code so that the excel output displays on screen rather than saving to a specified location:
Code Written:
Private Sub outputToExcel_Click() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "C4C Period Final", "\uk.michaelpage.localdfsGroupDataNSCHElite Database ReportsGross Cash For Car.xls" MsgBox "C4C Period Final Exported"
outputFileName is a variable I've created for file path / name etc...When I run this command, I get a popup box asking what format I'd like to export / save the form as. I'd like to disable this and just have it save as a PDF.
:confused: I've created a form within our company database which will track hardware/software requests. I'd like to create a macro, or add code to output the data entered into a notepad file. Nothing extraordinary. I'd like for it to be like this:
Ticket: XXXXX Employee: xxxxx Reason for Request: xxxxx Quantity:xxxxx Part Number:xxxxx Price:xxxxx Shipping:xxxxx Total:xxxxx
Those are the headings of the fields and x's denote entered data. I'd like to keep the headers and have the entered data as well. Is it possible?
I am trying view the query output's in different text on the form and I do not want to see them again in query window.How do I hide this.. comments ???
Using 2010.Would like to open a new form as a popup to display the results of a query. Trying to avoid eliminating objects in my DB, so not wanting to create Query Objects, but just creating the SQL on the fly.
The purpose of opening the popup form is to display the results of the Query based on a Button selection that the user chooses. Not sure if I can pass the Query from Form to Form, or if the called Form should run the Query. The Query output is a single record which is a Memo field, which is why I want to open the new form to display the result. The Memo text can be a page long or more.
I am not getting any errors and can open the form. The problem is that I am not getting the Query results displayed on the new form. The code below is from my first form that has the buttons. The popup form is Results_frm.
Code: Private Sub InScope_bt_Click() Set dbs = CurrentDb strSQL = "SELECT In_Scope FROM Project_Scope_Deliverables" Debug.Print strSQL ResultType = "I" DoCmd.OpenForm "Results_frm" Forms!Results_frm.RecordSource = strSQL End Sub
Hi Have scoured the forum and have found people with a similar problem, but I just can't seem to get my head round this.
Basically I have a table with various fields, one of these fields is a sign off field where the user enters their name once the record has been reviewed.
I want to count all the records that do not have a name entered in this particular field thus are null/blank. I then want this figure to appear on a form thus representing the total number of records still to be reviewed.
I have tried doing this with various methods with no joy.
I've been working on creating a database for a Physical Therapist that will store patients information and information on past appointments (including the amount of money paid per appointment). I created a form that he can then easily select the patient and their D.O.B. and insurance carrier will show up.
But I need to create a way that when he then selects the treatment received for the appointment that the correct payment amount will show up and be recorded as well. The reason this is an issue is because for each insurance there is a different cost per treatment.
I have created a form with 9 cascading combo boxes. There are 59 total results or scenarios (which are based upon the completion of the form and these 9 combo boxes). Currently, upon completion of the form and the 9 combo boxes, a text box displays the singular result/scenario.
Here's my question: Rather than utilizing a text box to display the result/scenario, is it possible to output a PDF or Word document? If so, is there a general VBA code for this that I could manipulate?
Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.
I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.
In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a sql string that is used to populate a form and now I'd like to export that set of records to a spreadsheet but I can't get 'OutputTo' to work. It wants a predefined query name - !? Any suggestions?
guys the below works a treat on a single qry -(pinched from samples) however I will have 20-30 qry that I want in this 1 workbook all on seperate tabs . Now I have also tried getting this done cross refer to "qryto excel automation" and have had some particual succes - but does any one know how to do this
I've created code to export data from a query to a spreadsheet and it works fien. My question is, is it possible to set up an SQL statement in code and export the results of the SQL to a spreadsheet instead of using the saved query?
I’m reading “Selecting the Data” from Running Microsoft Access 2000, pp. 87-94. The confusing part is the input/output explanation. When I think of input I think of typing, keying, or entering raw data into the computer. Output to me is information displayed or printed.
Okay, here is what was printed:
“A data item is an input for a task if you need to read it from the database (but not update it) to perform the task. For example, a customer name and address are some of the inputs needed to create an order. Likewise, data is an output for a task if it is new data that you enter as you perform the task or that the task calculates and stores based on the input data. For example, the quantities of items you enter for an order are outputs; the shipping address and phone number you provide for a new order are outputs as well.”
The above is confusing me. Can anyone explain it better so this dummy can get it? Thanks!
I have a select query that selects certain customer email addresses and I want to output the results as csv, which can be used directly in a "To:" field to create a group email.
The SQL of my query is:
SELECT [Customer Details].[Email Address] FROM [Customer Details] INNER JOIN [Orders] ON [Customer Details].[Customer ID] = [Orders].[Customer ID] WHERE ((([Orders].[Licence Declaration])=No) AND (([Orders].[Licence Status])="Unlicensed"));
I have found some SQL code on the internet as follows:
"SELECT Field1, field2 FROM table WHERE field1='" & [FORM]![PARAMETER] & "';"
but adapting my code with that is a little bit beyond me...can anyone help?!
If I open a query in Access and uses the "Export to Excel" button everything works out just fine. But when I want to make the export with a button using the code: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryToExcel", acFormatXLS
I only get 255 chars from the PM-fields to excel. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
I also want to make some filtering, with code string, to the query before I export it, could use some suggestions there also.
I have a query which pulls key fields from a Table and exports to an excel file through the Output to cmmd.
In the table, i have defined a few fields with Look-up criteria and Combo / LIsts. When the Excel sheet is created the Lists are not downloaded. The purpose is to scrub the data and provide users an excel sheet for update of the Combo box for upload in another MS access table.
Please help, this feature is extremely critical for our work. Thanks in advance.
Attached is a real simple database. What I want to be able to do is insert new payment details, and I have a couple of issues.
I have two clients and need to be able to select which client I want, select the payment details from the drop down list and enter in some appropriate amount.
Its been a while since I've created a db from scratch so this is obviously where I am having my difficulties. However I think I need to use a sub form.
How can I input the details as above, and how can I always get the combobox to default to the first entry in the list rather than defaulting to zero?
I have a control button on a form that outputs the current record to disk using an on click event. The user currently has to select the format (rtf) the path and the filename and I would like to be able to automate this process.
The format should be rtf, the path will always be the same and I would like the file name to comprise the unique record number (4 digits) followed by the current date string (format ddmmyy).
I think is just a matter of setting some parameters after the DoCmd code event that saves the report to file but I have had a go but can't get the syntax right.
Any ideas how to automate this process to eliminate the risk of user errors?
I am having a problem getting Access to output to an excel file.
I want to take a form that I have that has 20 or so records with 6 or 7 fields for each and put it into an excel file that is formated the way I need everythign to look.
I also need it to make the file name such as CCCAAAMMDDYYYY (3 letter company abbreviation,3 letter initials and then todays date) I am thinking that the company abbreviation will be pulled from a query, then initials will be a form that opens, and the date can be pulled from access' date function.
I tried using vb code and doing an output to comand but that did not work. I am confused someone please help if possible.
