Feb 24, 2007I have a fairly simple database we are using for keeping inventory and new items get added through a form. Is there A way I can prevent a part number and its properties from being entered if that same part number has already been entered at an earlier point in time?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRunning Average Quote Based On Part Number
Apr 28, 2005I've been searching all the forums and unable to find my answer. What I want to do is show on a form the average quote for the specific model number.
On the form there is customer info, product info, etc. I want to see the average of what we have quoted every other time we have seen this product (we do repairs). The identifer for the product is the model number, Model#, the quoted cost is PRICE. I've used this function before, DAvg("[Price]","Repairs","[Model#]='013003020'") - which of course gives me the average for one specific model number (013003020). How would I use a similar function but have it do the average for the model number that I am viewing on the form?
If I am able to do that - I also need to find a way to not include nulls and zeros from the Price field.

Queries :: Get Average Repair Price Of Multiple Part Numbers With Same Root Number
Nov 19, 2013I need to get an average repair price of multiple part numbers with the same root number i.e.
8 each 8TJ124GGN1
4 each 8TJ124GGM1
7 each 8TJ124GGP1
First I used a query to average the repair price of each subset of numbers, and then queried the query to average all the subset prices together.
If I simply use the AVG function in the first query, I can use it again in the second query to get the average price of all the subset price averages. HOWEVER, if I use the expression:
AdjustedAvgLabor: Int((Sum([LaborPrice])-Max([LaborPrice])- Min([LaborPrice]))/(Count([LaborPrice])-2))
…to get a more accurate average by throwing out the high and low values, I get a:
“…expression too complicated to be evaluated”
when I try to average the averages in the second query using the AVG function.
I don’t know why the expression is “too complicated” since the first query has already completed its computations before the second query begins its AVG function.
Tricky Question - Form Part Data Entry, Part Not
Dec 16, 2004I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Date Problem - Part Constant - Part Now()
Nov 3, 2006Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,
Queries :: Rolling 12 Month Query - Keeping Track Of Orders Placed For Given Part Number By Month
May 5, 2014I am trying to create a database that will keep track of the orders placed for a given part number by month. Currently, my table houses the part number, and the ordered amount for the past three years by month (there are thirty-five columns for every part). My column headings are ORDER_MAY_2013, etc. I would like to set a query up that will look at the column headings and pull the amounts ordered for each part for the past twelve months. In other words, I have three years of data in my table. In my query, I just want one year. However, I don't want to have to rewrite the query every month so that it will pick up the new data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there a better way to build this database? I thought about just have four columns in my table - PART_NUMBER, ORDER_MONTH, ORDER_YEAR, ORDER_AMOUNT. The only problem there, is that every part (there are about 450 parts) would have to be listed 35+ times. That seemed too redundant to me, so I built the table this way. However, now I am having trouble querying against it.
My First Database Part II
Mar 13, 2006I am having more trouble with the old database I am trying to make.
Can someone have a look if I attach it?
I don't think the ID fields in each of the three tables are working togehter.
Shouldnt they be the same ID number of each record for that person across the three tables?
Thanks.

Searching A Part Of Record..
May 27, 2007Hello. Im new here and also new to both Visual Basic and Access so please be patient with me :)
I've downloaded SearchDB.zip uploaded by agehoops. Its works exactly like its supposed to but I need to update it a bit.
Im making a MovieDatabase and have a table with Orginaltitle, SwedishTitle, Director, Actors and so on. When I search in "Director" for "Francis Ford Coppola" or just "Francis" the movies which is related to him comes up. But when I search for "Ford Coppola" or only "Coppola" nothing comes up. I want the user to have that possibilty to search using the last part of the name too. Is that possible?
When searching with the binocolor icon it works fine when chosing "part of record", i think thats the english translation for "Del av flt". I have a swedish acces version so im not so sure but anyhow I think you understand what I mean.
To sum it up I want the ability to search writing only a part of what the record contain including the last part and not only the first part like it is right now.
Appreciate any help!

However you may be looking at the new resultant table and wondering what on earth to do with it. I hope to take you through the process of making it into something useful in this thread.
The first thing you will notice is that where the check box is not checked, then that whole row is redundant, for instance there’s no need to record that ID number “1” --- “Has Not” taken Maths, English, Geography, Physics etc, it would suffice just to record the subjects that have been taken , In this case Biology, PT and Social. Looking at those entries in particular, then a general rule of logic can be defined, “delete all the rows where the check boxes are false”.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1b.png
Once you have deleted all of those rows,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1c.png
then it becomes obvious that the check boxes themselves which now “All” contain a true value are also redundant, they can be deleted just leaving you the text entry identifying the subject taken by each student.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1d.png
Using the “relational” properties of the database that is one more thing you can do which will improve efficiency and that is to replace each text entry --- Maths, English, Geography, Physics etc, with a number linking that field to a look up table.
First of all you need to create a look up table; this can be done by applying a create table query to extract just the unique values for the “subject” There is a video showing how to do this here: (At time index 1min) (http://www.viddler.com/explore/TonyHine/videos/67/fullscreen)
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1e.png
This unique list should be called “tblSubject” this table is not quite finished, you need to add an identity column to the left of the text representing the individual subject, this identity will then appear in the previous table.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1f.png
Once you have completed the “look up table” you then need to replace the entries in the student subject table “tblStudentSubject” where it shows subject in text form with the number representing the link to the look up table. This is the query:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1g.png
And here is the new column created:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm_1h.png
This way your design changes to the table are making it much more efficient, holding the same information but with less data.

How to use the Normalization Form (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=143983)
Using the normalization form --- Download Here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=20619&d=1202664804) we converted part of a spreadsheet type table into the beginnings of a relational table.
From this table we derived a “look up table” now giving us a total of three tables, the remains of the first table, “tblStudent” (the student names), the next table “tblStudentSubject” stores the subject(s) related to each student, and finally a third table, “tblSubject” a “look-up table” to store the actual subject description.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/ThreeTables.png
From the table “tblStudentSubject” we created a form in datasheet view:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DataSheetForm.png
Now all we need do is combine this datasheet view form with a form based on the students list, and this will give us a form for correctly displaying the student names and the subject(S) the student is taking in one Form:
Using the wizard create a basic form from the student table and name it “frmStudent” arrange its size so it has some open space as shown.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/StudentForm.png
Now open “frmStudent” in design view
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_1.png
And drag the subform “sfrmlStudentSubject” into the clear area on the student form “frmStudent”
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_2.png
You may wish to delete the text box, you don’t have to but I usually find it looks better without it.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_3.png
Size the form to suit
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_4.png
Now save the form and have a look, you will notice that it incorrectly shows all of the records in the subform,
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_5.png
Now the next bit is tricky, for two reasons, the form isn’t really on top of the other form, it actually sits in a subform window and you need to gain access to the properties of this subform window by clicking on the tiny line that you can just see around your subform. This can be a difficult task to master first time.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/UncleGizmo/DragSub_6.png
Now open the “subform field linker” dialog box by clicking on the ellipsis (…)

Filtering Out Part Of A Field
Apr 7, 2008Hi,
Apologies, I have no idea if this should go in reports, queries, macros or modules and VBA as I'm a bit stuck but hopefully it's fairly simple.
I've been teaching myself access and it's been going well. What I have now been asked to do is produce a report that generates the shift patterns for everyone in the office as an HTML document. Now, the data is all exported from another program and I've had no problem getting the data into access easily. The problem I have is the format some of the data is in.
The major one that I need to solve is showing what time people are meant to take their lunch break each day. The field for break is filled in in the following format.
07/04/2008 12:45:00
Now, I have the date from elsewhere so I really don't want the date to show up so I need something that removes the date from this field. Is this going to be easy to do? (Ideally I'd like it so that the above example actually just returned 12:45 but if it has the 00 on the end that would not be the end of the world)
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of your forum.

Extracting Part Of A Field
Jul 27, 2005I found a thread from last year that is close to solving this question but not 100% so I'll post this new thread.
I have a field called ITEM_NUM in a database with the following structure:
XX-YYYYYYYYY
XX-YYYYY
XX-YYYYYYYYYYYY
I need to extract the Y portion of the data and a Query format would be the best.
FYI, the X portion consists of 2 Letters/numbers then the Hyphen and the Y portion is variable in length.
thanks for your help!
How To Select Part Of A Field
Sep 6, 2005I have joined 3 tables using the query design and I have 3 different fileds. There are fields that have information that I don't need. e.g. I don't want the first 10 characters of field 1. How do I do this in query design (even in SQL view). Or do I need to do this in the table itself before joining the table. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks for any input.

I may be missing something here, but can any one help?
I am using a Iif statment in a query to filter records as follows:
If([value from a form]= "all holidays",("weeks hols" or "days hols"),"not a holiday")
This is returning a to complex to calculate error - I think it is a Syntax error but could be wrong
but if I enter The string "week hols" or "days Hol" as the criteria without the Iif statment that works fine.

Dec 12, 2005Hi.
My name is Amanda, and recently Ive started using Access again for work. I havent touched the program in about five years, so I am rusty. In addition, it turns out that I am the only one in my department whos ever even opened Access. Ive tried hunting down a manual around here, and it seems to be an ever ending scavenger hunt. I also have not been able to find the answer to my question via web, FAQ, and experimentation, although, I feel its a fairly basic question.
So here it goes. I want to return all fields that contain part of a text. For example, I want all fields that contain the word lux, regardless of what else the field contains to be returned. So if a field contains lux. cars it will be returned in my query.
Ive tried goggling Microsoft Access with text formulas, however, all I receive are excel formulas.
Thank you.

Updating A Field With The + As Part Of The Value
Jun 12, 2007Hi all,
I am trying to update the value of a field from say, "Word" to "Test120+". I am using the SQL code as below....
UPDATE tblTable SET tblTable.Field = "Test120+"
WHERE (((tblTable .Field)="120") AND ((tblCurrent.Field02)="TT"));
But the end results are that the value has been changed to just Test120 !! The plus (+) sign has been excluded. Is there anyway I can force the plus sign to be used in this update query or has Access some sort of bug because the plus sign is used as an arithmetic character that prevents it from being used as a value in a query ?
Any workarounds or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
