Pathetic... I Cannot Figure Out A Seemingly Simply Query
Jan 17, 2007
Alright people... I'm ashamed to even ask but here goes.
I have two tables:
1) Employees
2) Neighborhoods
Table Employees has a comprehensive list of all employees and their information (including phone numbers).
Table Neighborhoods has lots of information about each neighborhood we're working in and it also specifies what people play certain roles in each neighborhood. For instance, there is a field for "Field Manager" and "Sales Consultant". These two fields are exact matches of "Full Name" from Table Employees.
All I want is for my Neighborhoods Table to be updated or a new table be created that imports the "Field Manger Phone Number" into the Neighborhoods Table and the same for the "Sales Consultant".
-----------------------------
To be explain one other way, this is what I want:
Table: Employees
Field: Full Name
Field: Phone Number
Table Neighborhoods
Field: Field Manager (already equals Full Name)
Field: Sales Consultant (already equals Full Name)
Field: Field Manager Phone Number (This is the field I want pulled from Table Employees)
Field: Sales Consultant Phone Number (This is the field I want pulled from Table Employees)
-------------------------------
I've tried my best to create an Update Query or a Make Table query but I have not gotten any good results. Can someone please help me out with this being very descriptive as I am certain I'm just goofing one simple step.
Thanks in advance.

Just doing my regular check-in. Wondering if Microsoft has come to grips with this yet :mad:. My form with dozens of databound controls opens instantly on Access 2003, but takes over 10 seconds on Access 2007. I can see poor little A2007 slowly drawing each control. It's rather sad, but humorous, and yet pathetic at the same time to watch Microsoft's flagship products going down the toilet along with their stock price.
The problem appears when:
- You have more than a few databound controls
- You have SQL server on the backend
Every time I try to get help, the Microsoft "MVP" of the moment declares that I have a problem with my query and "forgets" that the form opens instantly in the old standby Access 2003.
Or has Microsoft admitted yet that they have a problem? Like I said, I'm just doing my regular check-in :rolleyes:. My client is happy enough using Access 2003 and will continue to do so forever until I tell them they need to upgrade... but right now Microsoft is taking us both to the poorhouse :mad:

I have Two fields with DateWorked and EmployeeNumber. All I want to do is count the number of employees that worked on a specific date. In the employee numbers I have 4 dummy numbers that I don't want to count in my query (00001-00004), but will have entries almost each day. The rest are 5 digit numbers.
Some employee will work some days, but not others.
So I set up my query with:
EmployeeNumber
Table
Total: Count
Criteria: >4
I did that think that it would count all employee numbers great than four, but all it seems to do is give me the count of days that more than 4 employees worked.
What am I doing wrong? I feel like this is simple, but after some of the more complex things I've done over the past week, this seemingly "easy" thing has me stumped.

Hi,
i have got a database which consists of table, queries, forms and reports.
I have one problem now is that I wan to do a query that will be able to bring the figure from another field to the current one.
ok say i have got Ref_No, Event_Date, Balance_BF, Adjustment, Balance.
so if say this is the first event for this particular ref_no (1234) it will bring the amount from another table (Principle_Table) linking the same ref_no (1234) to the Balance_BF fields,
If this is not the first event for this particular ref_no (1234) it will then bring the amount from the previous event Balance field to the current event Balance_BF field.
I am very lost how to do this. Is there a way doing this using query?
This is wat i mean
Ref No Event Date Balance_BFAdjustment Balance
06/00014 31-May-06 115140-5,757.00 $109,383.00
06/00014 31-Aug-06 109383-5,757.00 $103,626.00
06/00014 30-Nov-06 103626-5,757.00 $97,869.00
06/00014 28-Feb-07 97869-5,757.00 $92,112.00
U can see that the Balance_BF is actually brought down figure from the previous Balance starting from the second events. For the first event, the Balance_BF is actually draw down from another table (Principles_Table)
Is there a way to do this using query?

There should be a simple solution to this.
I have two fields with numbers in them ( dollars ).
I run a make-table query to add a third field that will show the sum of the two fields and my results in the third field are wrong.
Whenever there is a blank in the second field the third field shows a blank as well.
like this:
(Field 1 ) ( Field 2 ) (Field 3 = Field 1 + Field 2)
100.00 100.00 200.00
200.00 <blank> <blank>
130.00 100.00 230.00
my fields have the same data type and formatting so I don't understand where the problem is?

Hi all,
I have an Access 2002 (SP3) frontend and SQL 2000 (SP3a) backend.
2 sites, 2 SQL servers ( identical hardware and software).
Replication using Push Merge every 5 minutes.
10 users at 1 site and 15 at the other with Access 2002 frontend stored locally on each users PC.
I get random 'object invalid or no longer set' messages just appearing on the workstation screen without the operator doing anything. about 3 or 4 a week, but not on the same workstation at 1 of the sites only, but only during the working hours of the other site. We have out of hours users who never experience this issue.
Occasionally the error is preceeded by a SQL ODBC connectivity error but this rare.
I had been informed it was network issue but I have been running continuous
ping from a suspect workstation to the sql server and back.
When the error occurs there are NO dropouts in the pings.
It doesn't follow volume of data changes either as one site can make hundreds of changes and we don't get the error and then it can be after 10 changes the error occurs.
I have been researching this now for about 2 weeks to no avail, if anyone can point me in the direction of good resources you will make my year. :D

Afternoon Folks,
I have a database that multiple users have access to.
We all have new pcs of exactly the same spec.
We all have the same oracle ODBC, which is linking to tables in an oracle database on a Sun F15k Server.
The linked tables are set-up using my oracle account with saved password.
We are using the same network.
We are all using Access 97.
Queries that are run in this database are returning results in just a couple of seconds for other users, and 20-30 seconds for me.
Can anyone suggest any factors that may be causing this discrepancy?
Or things that I can run/do to improve performance?
Cheers in advance, James

I have two forms:
frmOpeartions
frmManagers
frmOperations allows the user to assign a manager to an operation by selecting the manager record from a combobox. Occasionally the user may need to setup a new Manager record if one hasn't been setup already. In this case there is a "New" "button" (it's actually a label with an on click event) that the user can click to open frmManagers and add the new manager record.
The code to open frmManagers is:
Private Sub lblNewManager_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmManagers", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acDialog
Forms!frmManagers!cboMoveTo.Visible = False
Forms!frmManagers!lblManagers.Visible = True
End Sub
Once frmManagers is open the user creates the new Manager record and then closes the form using a similar label with an on click event:
Code:
Private Sub lblClose_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmManagers", acSaveNo
End Sub
frmMangers also has an OnClose event that will refresh any comboboxes on other forms that refer to tblManagers to make sure that new Manager records will be available immediately for the user to choose from:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmPlants").IsLoaded Then
Forms!frmPlants!cboPlantManager.Requery
Forms!frmPlants!cboQCManager.Requery
[Code] .....
So the problem comes when the user clicks the Close label (acting like a button) on the frmManagers. The code successfully closes the form and the on close event successfully refreshes any comboboxes on forms that may be open, but then for some reason it attempts to run again or perhaps continue running the onClick event that opens frmManagers. Since the form is already closed it gets hung up on trying to change the visible properties of the controls and the code fails.

Hi,
I'm creating a new database for an investment brokerage company. The company invests clients' funds for a specific length of time and pays out a return on their investment on a weekly basis for the duration of the investment.
This is my first real database so I'm gonna need all the help I can get. The company has some pretty huge requirements but right now I'm focusing on phase 1 which will be very simple.
Right now I'm working on the database design but there's been one thing which has been bugging me for a while so I figured I'd ask you guys to help me get my head around this.
Let's say we have a table called Investments. This table will include data on the amount invested, the number of weeks invested for, and the ROI percentage. For example...
Investment Record Example
Amount: £10,000
Weeks: 10 weeks
Percentage: 10%
One of the requirements of the database is to produce a report that will list each week of the cycle and the amount paid to the client. This will require calculations in order to produce this data. Here's an example...
Payment Report Example
Week # | Payment Date | Payment Amount | Notes
1 | 1/1/01 | £100 | Enjoy your first payment! :-)
I can see how this can be easily done by producing a query and then a printing a report based on it. However, here's the tricky bit... for various reasons, the payment date or the payment amount for a certain week may need to be modified, and a note value may need to be added for particular weeks.
Of course, I could just create another table called Payments to contain this information, but I don't want to have to enter the data manually. It would be a lot more productive to have the database calculate these values, but somehow let the user modify these values, if necessary. That's what I need to figure out!
Can someone advise me how this can be accomplished? I've been reading up on the Make Table feature, will that do the job? Note that I do NOT want to create a payments table for every client so I'm quite sure.
I look forward to reading your replies.
Thanks in advance.
Warmest,
Zahid

This is probably a long shot, but I figured I'd post it anyways. We have a form that is used to input customer data. It was written about a year and a half ago and uses some programming in it. It's worked fine on the people's computers it was originally installed on, but recently we've tried to put it on some of the newer computers and when we run the form, it just freezes Access up instead of going to the form log-in screen. The weird thing is, it works on some of the new computers. They all have the same version of windows and the same version of Access, and the code in the form itself hasn't changed at all. I was thinking maybe the form was looking for something that wasn't there, and freezes because of that. Anyways, any ideas would be appreciated.

Situation: I have to seperate tables(table A and B), both have a part numbers field, manufacture field, and manufacture p/n fied. But only one of the tables(table B) has manufacture and manufacture p/n filled in. Also, some part numbers are missing from table A that need to be in B and some are missing from B that need to be in A.
Goal: My question is how do I make a query or whatever i need to tell access to find all the manufacture and manufacture p/n info(related to its designated part) in table B and put it into the fields in table A respectively. I guess i'm basically trying to join two fields in two different tables, i mean i need to the manufacture and manufacture p/n copied over to its related records in table A.
The reason for this is because we are migrating from Quickbooks to a program called Shoptech E2(access based) to do all our supply chain management. Things were correctly imported from QB except for the fact that the manufacture and manufacture p/n was not imported for some reason. Now E2 only looks at table A to pull its info and does not see the relationship, thats why i need manufacture and manufacture p/n copied over to table A to its respective parts.

OK, this form has a series of buttons that lead to other forms or open up into reports. The problem is I can't figure out how they do that. On the click event procedure of one of the buttons it says =HandleButtonClick(1) .
This is NOT a macro.
I don't think it's a command button either usually those say [Event Procedure] in the click event.
I can't figure it out. Anyone have any suggestions please?

First of all, thanks for any help in advance, I really appreciate it. This is my first big project in Access. I am trying to design a database for timesheets for all the departments at work. We have 21 departments with various numbers of employees in each department. At this point, I would like this database to be able to have users enter their own hours each week and print their individual report of hours worked then designated users add employees, look at previous payperiods and print out a master report as well as past reports. One pay period here is two weeks, with the days starting on Saturday, though I would like the database to keep track of one week at a time and then be able to group two weeks together to make a pay period. Each employee can work regular hours in a day and can also take up to 6 type of leave plus work overtime. So there will be 8 types of hours that could be entered. So far, I made tables for each different type of hour and created fields for each day of the week and created relationships to the employee table and pay period table. I made a form in datasheet design, but it didn't work out well. For lack of a better thought for them to enter their hours, I was going to design the form to look like this (but with spaces like a table);
Employee(fn) Employee(ln) Payperiod
Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Frid Totals
Regular Hours
Vacation Used
Comp Used
Sick Time
Overtime
Holiday
Unpaid Leave
Paid Leave
The only thing is that I can't get the forms right and it seems like a lot of wasted space since employees will rarely take holiday, paid leave and unpaid leave. Is there a better way to design this?
I also have to take into account security. I eventually have to be concerned about departments only having access to their own records and employees within those departments only being able to access their own hours (except for designated users to do the master sheet). I haven't had any training or experience in access database security. Is there a way to limit records in a table or would I need to create a seperate database for every department?
I am attaching my table relationships in case I didn't describe this very well.
Thanks again for any help. If you need any further information, let me know.

Hi to everyone. I am trying, have been trying, will probably kill myself trying...to figure out the best way to make tables/relationships with the information I have already imported into my db. If someone could please PLEASE help me, I would appreciate it. I'm a visual person, and I have so many pieces of paper around my desk that I can't even see the top of it anymore!!!
Background info, I am building a db for employees and courses they MUST take. However, there are 60+ courses, only 4 of those courses are frequently taken (the others are more "train the trainer" and such). But which of those 4 courses you need to take depends on whether you're a supervisor or tech. So if you're a supv, you need to take courses 1, 2, and 4. Tech, you need to take 1, 2, and 3. My "dream" is when I later make a form, I can get the boxes to darken for the courses that don't apply to the employee.
Attached is a print screen (sorry it's .doc but I'm limited with the programs on my PC) of my current ONE table in design view so one can easily see how many fields there are.
Now, I realize to normalize, it's ideal to have only ONE subject matter per table. So, in a dream world, the tables that SHOULD be created to be completely normalized are as follows:
T_Employee
LastName
FirstName
MiddleName
SSN
T_EmpDetails
RNK
Supv
PPOCCGradeStep
EOD
DOBbasdSCD
T_Job
ParaLine
Para
T_JobDetails
Unit
DutyLoc
Activity
PositionTitle
Type
T_Courses (contains date course taken, IF taken)
NSPAE
NSPAS
.......etc..
So, hopefully you can see why I'm having such problems. I know that I could only create lookup lists for "Type", "Para", and "Rank". All other fields, although some do have repeating information, would result in HUGE lookup lists of probably more than 200 things.
Does anyone, anyone have any ideas??? Please!

I have no idea WHY I can't seem to figure out how to construct relational tables, but I just can't get it! I've built 2 other databases, but always had to come here for help on making the tables. So here I am again, only this is a bit more complicated than those I've posted about before. So I apologize for the length, but I'll try and post EACH field now so whoever may answer can possibly understand my frustration and confusion. The fields I need to have are as follows (separated by categories to shorten length here):
SoldierLastName (txt)

LastUpdate (date)
SoldierPhone (#)
SoldierNOK (#)
SoldierAlt (#)
SoldierCell (#)
MomPhone (#)
DadPhone (#)
SpousePhone (#)
ChildPhone (#)
EmployerPhone (#)
Ok, now perhaps someone can at least see where I'm coming from...or perhaps I'm making a mountain out of a molehill...it's possible. But the hard thing to remember is that one soldier can have more than one mom/dad (with divorces and such), more than one child that may live at more than one address, as well as more than one spouse (former and current), and last, more than one employer.
I'm pulling my hair out...strand by painful strand...trying to figure this out. Can anyone, ANYONE please please please help?!? I'd be soooo appreciative of any advice!

I finally am figuring out this Access db stuff. I have managed to produce what I believe are normalized tables, built a query or two, and now a report. However, what I need to do now is something that I don't even know is possible. Further explanation is that I need to produce a query that automatically counts how many of a particular course has been taken. So, in a sense the query would show that 500 people have taken course A. If I have to build a query for each course, that is fine (because there is a course B, C, D, etc.). The problem is that the tbl the courses are contained within has the following properties:
EmployeeCourseID [auto#]
EmployeeID [#]
CourseID [#]
CompletionDate [date/time]
I thought the easiest way to build a query would be by the CourseID. Problem? Well obviously ALL courses are contained within this field/column.
I was able to produce a query with the following SQL that produced totals for all courses...which was fine.
SELECT tbl_EmployeeCourses.CourseID, Count(*) AS Expr1
FROM tbl_EmpoyeeCourses
GROUP BY tbl_EmployeeCourses.CourseID;
But the problem is that I can't get these totals in their OWN queries. When I print the report, I want it to say in the report footer (obviously in separate textboxes) "Course A total:___" or "Course B total:___"
I know I will later be able to build on that to produce a grand total if the need should arise. but it's pulling these apart now that's whipping me.
Does anyone have any pointers or can tell me what I am doing wrong please? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Very new to Access and not a VB programmer. :confused:
With that in mind, I have created form for users to record address changes of members. I want to have a button that will "undo" what a user entered if they change their mind/decide an address change not necessary. My address change table has an auto-number field (ID) that is the index and I believe Access automatically creates a record regardless so how do we get rid of it?
I did a search and keep reading about a button wizard - Huh??? I don't know how to activate a button wizard (told you I was new). Also, I read about adding code but to where? and how? It also appeared the code examples might be using psuedo-names for tables or something ... how do I know a "real" name from a psuedo-name?
Can a "Delete" query be written? if so, what is the criteria to use?
I've looked at the properties of the button and all I can see is a place to add a macro or an expression. Am I in the wrong place for what I want to do?
Can anyone offer some help here?
Thanks!

hey guys i been working on this issue for a long time and still cant figure it out...please help me out if you can..
i have a inventory table that stores items, a customer sales table that stores customer information.
i have a form that i named the "sales invoice" it stores and gets the data from the customer sales table...
within that form i have a subform that gets the data from the inventory table... or at least thats what i want it to do...
here is a printscreen of what my form somewhat looks like....(see attachment)
my issue is that i cant get the subform to work properly... i've tried many different ways but i am some what new to access...
in the subform where is reads LOT# thats basically my SKU or unit product code... all this data along with everything in the subform is stored in the inventory table..
the information in the inventory table is already pre entered so what i want is to click on that LOT # and what ever # i select it will autofill the rest of the subform record..
just like a regular sales invoice... i want to select the item and have it fill up the description, price and so on....
:( :(
