I am considering creating a form to use as a cash register or simple POS system. Where I could start looking into this? are there any templates or sample code I could refer to? Using access 2003 version...
View RepliesHow would I update my cash account account table through a form? I have just started working on access and am fairly new to it.
What I am trying to do is to update my master table with all the daily sales through a form. Would I need to write a query into my form?
Hello,
I'm interested to know how I can select a (1) student and assigns to multiple classes.
Attached I have the database with some tables and forms. Please take a look. I can assign a student to a class, on a specific day but I couldn't figure out how to select multiple classes at once.
Thank you for your generous help.

I'm creating a database where I have a customers and invoices table, obviously there is a relationship between the two tables using a customerID field where I have referential integrity enabled. However not all invoices require a customer account as some are cash sales where no customer details are required.
I'm unsure of the correct procedure, all I can think of is to create a separate table for cash sales??
I have a combo box which looks up a set of values from a table, some of these I have got to store, others I merely want to work with and calculate from. These columns are:
DutyNumber
WeekendOrBHPayment
Sun-ThursNightsPayment
FriSatBHNightsPayment
OTRate
WRDRate
AHDifference
SKPayment
UnSocPayment
Now for most of these, I 'think' I have it planned where they will go or how they will be used, but the OTRate is flummoxing me a wee bit.
On the form, I have an OT(time) field - the idea being that the user will enter the hours and minutes of overtime they have done (short time format - is this correct?)
Then, I would like the form to calculate the cash value (has to be stored in a field) by multiplying the hours/mins worked by the OT Rate - - but I don't want to store the OTRate unless I really have no other option. Once the calculation has been done, if the Rate is then 'forgotten' then that is no issue, as the only time it would be needed is if the field is revisited to amend any errors (so I am thinking the calculation should be done as an After Update event on the OT(time) field?)

Help! I am trying to think of a way I can use an excel worksheet as a data form in Access. A little background to the problem. A pre-school that I have been helping have a excel spreadsheet in place that they use as a kind of booking register which also works out the termly costs for each child based on the number of sessions attended. Is there any way I can inport or link this to a database so monthy invoice's and goverment figures can be printed automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have an Access database that opened some cash drawers attached to the computer through USB and it is working perfectly. We have some of the cash drawers that are attached to the EPSON Receipt printer and we also want to open those Cash Drawers attached to the receipt printer. Looking for code to open the cash drawer attached to the receipt printer, Is there any command available that I could send to the receipt printer and it would open the Cash Drawer.
I have also taken the screenshot of the utility program that will show the information regarding the printer and I am very expecting to get this working soon as we have build the Microsoft Access database that would checking the cash drawer status and also open the USB cash drawers.
Hi,
Well I'm stumped...
I am creating a new database system for my cadet organisation, and I am in the early stages of learning how to use Access. (I am using this as a learning curve, as I need to get to grips with Access for University, there's no better way to learn than by doing.)
I want a system that stores the attendance of cadets on each night we meet, so far I have:
|Table| Cadets
CadetID - AutoNumber (PK)
FName - Text
LNAme - Text
Flight - Lookup from Flight Table
|Table|Flights
FlightID - AutoNumber (PK)
Flight - Text
|Table|Attendance
AttendanceID - AutoNumber (PK)
Attendance Type - Text
The table that actually contains the register I am unsure how to structure, it would have to contain Cadet Name/ID, the date and Attenance type, from attendance DB.
The table would be updated every Tuesday and Thursday, when we meet. I've been thinking for a while about how to do this and can't find a good solution.
As the data will be entered by a user (who won't know Access from Adam) I'd like a form that lists all the cadets in the Cadet table, as each of these will have to be registered, and then a drop down box listing the options from the Attendance table next to each cadet, doesn't have to be drop down, can be optionbutton, image....
In the final version I would like the cadets to be sorted by flight in the form, but lets not go mad yet!
Can anyone help me with this? Or am i simply being silly?
I haven't used Access for long, but have used VBA in Excel before and am a fairly experienced user; I will attempt anything but bare with me if at first I don't succeed.
Any help appreciated

I just recently bought a new computer and it doesn't have any Microsoft Office products installed. So, I pulled out my old Office97 CD and tried to install it. However, I got the following message:
htmlmarq.ocx was unable to register itself in the system registry.
Any ideas how I go about fixing this problem.
Thanks
I'm using an activeX control and access gave me an error message showing that "I must register the ActixeX control. how can i do this?

Here is the problem. Im sorry if im not too clear with this.
I need to create a register system E.G. A child comes into a club, he is registered. At the end of the session the child leaves the club. His depature is registered and his departure time is also recorded down.
Like a paper based school register but electronically.
How would I go about implementing this into a system?
Would I need a child table (with fields such as Child ID, Forename, Surname etc.) and a register table (not sure on the fields)?
k, this bit below probably goes in the forms section...
How would I get this to work on a form so there were boxes to check for arrival and departure, and when a button is clicked the depature time is filled in for each day of the term?
This idea has been sending me nutty for months!
I’m a travelling music teacher. So my many pupils are split into many small groups (of 1, 2 or 3 pupils).
What I want is to open a form with lesson details. I’d select a date and then a group and then the details of the pupils in that group would come up (probably in a subform). I could then enter data for each pupil for each lesson e.g. whether they were absent.
That’s it!
My current tables are
[pupils]
pupilID (pk) (autonumber)
pupilname (text)
[groups]
groupID(pk) (autonumber)
[lessons]
lessonID (pk) (autonumber)
lessondate (date)
group (text)
[pupilinlesson]
pupilinlessonID (pk) (autonumber)
group (text)
pupilID (number)
absent? (Y/N)
lessonID (number)
This last table is supposed to store the data of each pupil in each lesson.
Relationships
[groups]groupID 1 – M [pupils]group
This is probably quite easy for someone who knows how. Lots of people must need registers of pupils!
Thanks
I am building a student register for a school for disabled children. There is a screen listing all students, one showing detailed student data chosen by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", one listing all the guardians, choosing a guardian by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", to diaplay Guardian details.
From the student list, I select and view student details, including a pointer to their guardian details. After selecting the first student details, and then viewing their guardian data, any subsequent student details and guardian details updates the prior guardian data with the next guardian's data.
How can I prevent the successive guardian details from updating the prior guardian table when it is exited? I view the guardian details using ADO recordsets populating a form. When I exit, it updates the previous record.
Hello everyone,
I tried to post this yesterday but it didn't go through for some reasons.
I've attached my database that contains student, classes, and couple other tables. I also created couples of forms and I wanted to register a single student to multiple classes at once.
For example: There're 3 classes (Math, English, History) on 1/3/2006. Student A wants to register 2 classes, Math and English. I should be able to check those two and submit and I'm done.
Currently, I have to select Math and assigns to student A, then select English. That's not good at all. What if there're 10 classes in one day and a student just want to register 8 classes? I have to do eight times.
It'd be great if you could help me. Thank you in advance.

I have a drawing register database which notes the revisions for all drawings issued. One drawing can be revised several times so I have a details table which notes the revision letter, date issued and the notes for each revision. Using this table I created a max date query to show the latest issue date and revision for each drawing. This query is used for a transmittal form for issuing drawings. Both the form and report is working perfectly.
The TBLTransmittal consists of the following fields
ContractName
IssueDate
SubSup
DwgNo (multi-value checkbox)
Using the TBLDwgRegisterDtls or the query QRYDtldDwgReg (which includes the drawing titles) I would like to create a query that would look up the latest revision at the date of issue and show the revision letter.
I started a query combining TBLTransmittal and TBLDwgRegisterDtls and in the criteria for DateIssued of the TBLSDwgRegisterDtls (which is when the drawing was issued by the architect to the contractor) I put "Not > [IssueDate]". This is filtering the information to show revisions issued up to the date we (the contractor) issued the drawing to our sub-contractor but I need now to pull the max revision only from this information.
Before I go I will give you an example of what I want from the end result
Drawing BK2-02 rev. D was issued by the architect to the contractor on July 17th. This drawing was in-turn issued to our sub-contractor (Sub "A") this Saturday, August 9th. The same drawing was revised this morning and rev. E was issued to Sub "A" today, August 11th.
I want the end report to show that Sub A received Rev. D on 09-08-14 and Rev. E on 11-08-14.
I'm wondering if another max date query on this new query would work? I'll try and see what happens.
I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.
Basically I have a Customer Form, which I have a New party button on it,this button opens up the party form to a new party, what I would like it to do is open up a new party but make the new party for the customer I had selected in the previous form.I have tried the GoTo macro's but cannot seem to get it to work.
I am thinking on clicking the button it will need to get the Customer ID, and then open the party form, create new party, and paste in the Customer ID, which then updates the Name - Date - Address - Company Fields.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
On the form: User enters first name, then last name. Upon updating the last name field, I would like another form to pop-up and display all the people with that same first name and last name that the user just entered.
On the pop-up form: All of the matching first names/last names are listed with a button control beside each record that says 'Select'. The user clicks the select button beside the record he/she wants. This pop-up form closes and all of the data from this selected record is now showing on the original form.
So far, I have a query/form that pops up only showing the matching first/last names. I'm having a hard time getting my original form to auto-populate with that record that the user selects on the pop-up.
(Also my main form is actually a sub-sub form - so in my trials I could've been massacring my syntax trying to point to it.)
I am trying to create a user form with sub form using the form wizard. I have only 2 tables, Employee (main table) and Vacation (subform table). I pick the fields from Employee Table then fields fro Vacation, but the wizard treat the Vacation as main form and Employee as sub form.

View 9 Replies View Relatedhow to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.
