Hello dear experts!
Will this table structure work? - Please help!
I need to be able to see if certain members have paid subscription, see if stakeholders have paid for their room bookings, etc. Will it work, does it look ok to you?
Im trying to brush up my normalisation skills and logic.

Thanks, Very much, Ant...
So I have say 3 columns in my table:
ID | Title | Link to file(eg. c:/test/test.wav)
Usually I only have 1 link to a file, but sometimes some people want to add more than 1 file. How would my table structure and code work if i wanted to add a button to my form which says "add another file"
Thanks.
hello all, I am very new to access (my background is in VBA Excel, but I am not using VBA for access yet).
I was wondering if some of the more advanced people can give me pointers on how to accomplish (or work my way) to make the kind of form I am trying to do.
What I am trying to do is the following:
I have a vending company with couple of products such as espresso, latte, black coffee, etc.. (all of the products are sold at the same price for each customer, so I might sell the products for company A for .75, but for company B for .55 etc) and I am selling these products to many clients company A, B, C, D, etc. As A start I created a table with my products, then I created a table for my clients (this one includes name, address, contact person, and machine number ).
I would like to make a readout input form where it would get the customer name, machine number, each of the product's total for the readout period (this is usually every week), and the date of the readout. Now I would like the form to add a record in a table for the client machine number that was selected and maybe also in another table for the overall machine ( I am not sure how queries work, and weather I would need that or I can use queries for it).
My ultimate goal is to be able to do the following with the data:
- check (and perhaps graph) the overall statistics for a each of the products for all clients
- do the same for a certain client
- do the same for a certain machine at a client
- check the overall sales of all products to all clients for each month of the year
- do the same for a particular client or for an individual machine
- do the same but for each year
I have done all of this in a VBA Excel based program but I was hoping to change the program to be access based instead of excel based, since this would make the data more centralized and easier to maintain, backup, check, and update.
So if anyone can post any hints or suggestion about how I should build my tables, the usability of quarries, and especially the construction of the forms I would very much thank you for that, since these are my first days getting to know access and I am absolutely confused with it, all the language you are supposed to put into text boxes, combo boxes etc....
Also if anyone knows of any good links to some online tutorials would be great, since most for the tutorials I found on a search was for constructing a for or a query using the wizard, but with no real discussion of how to bound the data to certain fields etc.

I thank you all in advance.
Hi all
I am currently building a holiday planner for my employers and I would like to try and display the days of the year as rows and the staff as columns (Fields). When someone adds a new member of staff, I would like it to also add them to the calendar table as a new column and name the column the same as the individuals name. Is this possible using VBA or SQL string?
If anyone has a better idea as to how I can display the forthcoming holidays for a team I would really appreciate your comments.
Thanks

I have created two tables, I want to copy one column from one table to another table column with repeat value in rows.
example :- copy "Material number" column from Table1 to Table 2. In Table 2 Material number will repeat in 20 rows.
Like in excel we give one cell reference to multiple rows.
How I can link table and give reference of column.
Hello, Im creating a database for a charity. Im in work based learning at the minute as part of my degree course. Basically, I have my ER-D which im going to use in a few days to produce the database. Please have a look at this and criticise it!
Here it is: 17333
Well, basically, i want to know if its going to work... (anything ive missed too)
Please help, Ant...
Hi,
we ran into quite a serious problem the other day whilst batch printing a large number of reports from Access 2000.
For some unknown reason the print job got interrupted part way through, resulting in a large number of reports not printing at all.
Our database uses an sql fragment to set the field 'isPrinted' to true upon sending reports to the printer. This is primarily to prevent records being printed more than once.
However, if, as above, the print job doesn't successfully complete the db still, as expected, marks the record as such. This provides us with a somewhat flase account of the status of the print job.
My question is this, is there a way in vb that Access can verify the success/failure of a print job?? Are there modules or code examples available that might help us interrogate the printer and perhaps abort on error?

VB Noob! Gentle brow-slapping only please!
Hey all,
So I'm pretty much done with this database project, but I've got a few minor snags... 3 actually.
1) get error when use delete button and select any option other than "yes"
2) my listbox selection does not load the record in the main subform area as it is supposed to (but I think I just don't know how to set this one up)
3) the frmAdd does not allow user to enter values into the fields for some reason, don't know what's up with that one
If anyone could take a peak, check it out, let me know if there is anything I need to fix, or more importantly, how to get those above things sorted out. It would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
I searched everywhere, but I think my ignorance of correct terminology is preventing me from finding the answer I need.
I have a form that holds two cascading list boxes. I want to be able to incorporate another list box that holds a record of which selection that was made, and how many per selection. The idea is to give user a visual feedback of what they selected, and be able to modify the selection.
I tried
Let Me.IDSelection.Value = Me.CategoryID.Value And Me.Specifics.Value
but the box stayed blank.... What am I doing wrong?
Just wondering what the consensus is on MS Office 2007 package. I find it tasty and is quit different from the past versions. That being said, I am relearning the options and finding many new features that weren’t available in the past.
I am very impressed with it thus far.

I had trouble figuring out how to 1) register a group of people for a class, 2) create a list of dates to meet for a class (which I call sessions), 3) track attendance per sessions. Having looked for templates at Microsoft, I found plenty of Excel templates, but no Access. The closest is Student Registration template, which doesn't track attendance at all. So I figured I'd make a prototype to help me understand how everything works. Since I got so much input from everyone, I figure I'd return the favor and perhap make it a sample database, especially for those who desire a spreadsheet-like data entry while maintaining a properly normalized data structure.But I would prefer that other has tested and given feedbacks on the prototype before I put this in sample database forum (if that's okay with you admins) as this is my first time and I don't want to give others bad template. So anyway, here's the prototype.Note: The database is 100% undocumented, 100% error-handling free, and 100% unsecured. Use it wisely. :)PS: The attachment will reference a extraneous library. If you are getting an error, clear the reference for MS Office 11 Web Components.PSS: I knew I forgot something: There is still unsolved problem of correcting sorting the columns in datasheet view. While the underlying query correctly sorts the recordset, it seems to be ignored entirely in datasheet. If anyone has a solution, I'm all eyes here.

So when I delete the data from the temp table, it also deletes data from the source table. Is the data linked? It should just be deleted from the temp table. Below is the beginning of the code. I've stepped through, and at the last step shown, the data in the source table deletes.
Code:
Dim strFile As String
Dim temp As String
Dim tbl As String

Here’s a little scenario:
An engineer requests that “x” amount of computers are ordered for the company. The estimated costs of the system(s) are determined. The estimated cost of the systems is forwarded to a manager, and the request must be approved by a manager before the order is placed. Once the manager approves the request, the order is placed through the ordering company. After the ordering company approves the order, an order number is assigned and serial number(s) specific to each computer is associated with that order number. At this point it is possible to track the order status via existing programs using the assigned order number and serial numbers. After it is determined through the existing software that the order has been shipped, invoiced, and received by the Receiving department, I need to physically go pick up the systems and submit them into my Central Inventory. From the central inventory, systems will be checked out to employees as needed, checked back in when testing is finished, or transferred internally between employees......

I also need to keep track of students daily class attendance, at the end of the tern, or year to find out how many students dropt out of a particular class etc. Is this a new table?
thanks in advance.

I have been reading up on normalizing table structures. I have this database that I am working on, to work as a hiring database. It should hold information about people applying to the law firm I work at.
I am looking for advice on if this table structure is normalized and sound. I am also looking for specific help on creating good forms.
Thanks for any help that can be given!
ps. I am attaching a zip that has a jpg view of the tables and their relationships, as well as the db with the table structure.
I would love any and all advice. I want a very clear concept for this db before I do anything!
Thanks again!
:D
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about this... and I couldn't come up with the best explination. Hopefuly someone here can point me in the right direction.
He has a table
Recipies(Id, name, item1, quantity1, item2, quantity2, item3, quantity3, item4, quantity4)
I don't believe that this is the proper way to create a table. What happens if you happen to come across a Recipie that needs 6 items?? or more??
After researching it, I believe it violates 2NF. Is this correct?
Instead I think a better structure would be
Recipies(Id, name)
RecipiesIngredients(Recipies.ID, Ingredients.ID, quantity)
Ingredients (Id, Name)
The problem my friends sees with this method is the fact that the Xref table will get giant.
In the example... Speed is of utmost importance, as the tables will most likely contain thousands of records and be queried against frequently.
Thanks for any input.

I need some help trying to setup tables on a new database. I want to setup a house analysis database where I can evaluate each room for it’s condition broken down by feature. I can’t seem to figure out a good way to tie all the rooms and evaluations back to that house’s address (primary key). I want the fields to work as shown below with the room evaluations tracked to each room and house address. If possible I would like to be able to enter the as many room names as needed for each address.
House Address
Bedroom 1______________Bedroom 2_______________Bathroom 1
Ceiling condition –Good____Ceiling condition-Fair____Ceiling condition- Good
Floor condition – Fair______Floor condition – Fair____Floor condition - Fair
Wall condition – Good_____ Wall condition – Bad____Wall condition - Good
Can someone please explain to me how I should structure the tables to work. As a novice Access programmer I am out of ideas. Please help me!!
What's the best way to setup this db?
I have the following information:
Company
Company ID
Program A
Program B
Program C
Program D
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
The years indicate the year the Program participated in the company. For example, Program A participated in Company Z from 2000 to 2005, Program D participanted in Company Z from 2001 to 2002.
Should I have a table with the Companies and Program A and the years from 2000 to 2005
and a table for the Companies and Program B and the years, etc? I was going to add a yes/no field for each program, too. There must be a simplier way.
I want to be able to query participation of workers in any of the programs.
What is the best way to set this up?
Thanks.
I've got some tables, and I want to make sure I relate them in the best possible way.
Table1 has a one to many relationship with Table2
Table1 has a one to many relationship with Table3
Table2 has a many to many relationship with Table3
Would it be best to set them up this way or is there another way that would be better?
Fields for Table1
Table1_ID
.
.
Fields for Table2
Table2_ID
Table1_ID
.
.
Fields for Table3
Table3_ID
Table1_ID

i have been asked to design an access databse for a friend who is a bricklayer. He wants to use it to store all the work he does so he can produce his timesheet quicker.
He works on building sites and has to show a plot number next to all the work he does. He wants to be able to search for a plot number and see what jobs he has already booked in for a particular plot number.
For example, if he is working on a block of flats, each flat will have individual plot numbers. If he is working on the outer wall of the flat his timesheet has to show all plot numbers for that block so he will normally show this as plots 100-110. however, if he works on an internal wall in one of the flats he will have to show just one plot number on his time sheet, for instance plot 104.
my problem is that he wants to be able to search for plot 104 and have it list both jobs he has done even though one job is shown as plots 100-110. How can i structure the database tables to allow this to happen.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
hi everyone,i'm new to access and despite reading quite abit im just not grasping how to set up tables and relationships for what im wanting to do.I need a customer contacts table/form to keep track of my customers info (name, address, etc) & who's placing orders, easy enough.Now with some of my customers its always the same person who places the order but with others it can be anyone of up to about 15 different people who place the order each one can have their own direct phone no.So what im wanting to do is create a customer contact table/form and then linked to that who in that company placed the order with their phone no. Ideally i'd like it so once I have entered the info I can just use drop down menu's to select the company name then it opens up a list of all the people who I deal with in that company so I can just select the person/phone no who is placing the order.Can anyone help & advise me through best way of doing thisthanks alot
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello, I want to fix a database I built and I needed some help on the table structure since its saving the data and not the ID number. I have it done and it works but its not correct since I dont understand normalization very well I took the easy way out and now its killing me and I want to fix it. Please take a look and give me some advise or show me a structure on what I need to do to normalize the DB... This would be my first DB so bare with me....
The comments section of each category will have a list of positive phrases and negative phrase equal to the subject like Safety, Quality, Quanity ect. "I didnt pur the phrases in each table yet"

Does my relationships and table structures look ok? am i starting in the right lines?
Has anyone come accross a similar db?
Appreciate any advice.

Good morning,since this is my first post I hope I'm not making to many mistakes.I'm making a database for school in Access 2003. In this database I have 2 parts.. A part for Patch connections and a part for PC repairs. The PC repair part is doing okay. The patch part is where I'm having some trouble.I don't exactly know how to start with it, and I'm hoping someone here can help me out.The form, I want to make based on tables should look something like this:A ComboBox filled from a table with about 10 entries in it. (Patchkasten)A textfield in which I have to enter something like this: XX-00 (x stands for alphabetic - 0 stands for nummeric)(Patchnummer) This will have around ~3000 entries.Those 2 should somehow be connected in a table as 1 field. (if that is possible offcourse)If not, is there another way to do something like this, because the combination of (patchkasten)and(patchnummer) has to be unique.. And at last a combobox (ruimte) with around ~ 150-200 entries.Now my question is if someone could help me setting this up somehow. Help would be appriciated.Thanks,F3dde
