For a couple of years now I have been keeping a spreadsheet record of UK football match results and statistics - I use this as the basis for gambling on future matches. I now want to migrate this information into a database so that
1) It is much easier to enter the new data(via picklists)
2) I can generate reports on particular teams to help me on future betting decisions
Being almost completely new to Access I am struggling with the design. The information I'm capturing is:
Match Date
Competition(table including five)
Home team/away team(table including many depending on competition)
Home formation/away formation(table with standard list)
Home goals/away goals(numerical)
Home corners/away corners(numerical)
Home bookings/away bookings(Numerical)
Referee(from a standard list)
All the above is in a match results records table with relationships to each data element table.
For the form for data entry, I want pick lists for all non-numerical values - eg team, formation etc. I would like to get a little cleverer and for the team pick list to only contain teams that are in the competition I've selected(eg Uk or European).
I've created some tables and relationships, but when I create a simple form with combo-list boxes, the list itself comes up blank even though I've linked the field to a particular table of options(eg a competitions table).
Can anyone help on suggestions for the overall design(should I have separate match results tables and team tables for each competition?) and with this particular combo-box problem please?
I am trying to build a database for a local football team, and am having trouble with the design of the tables. The database contains numerous tables but my main problem is that within the database there are 4 types of people information:
Players:
(a player can have more than 1 guardian attached, eg mother, father, uncle, etc A player could also be a member of staff eg coach) Guradians of the players (a guardian can be attached to more than 1 player, eg two sons playing for the same club a guardian could be a member of staff, eg manager). Staff Members (A staff member can also be a guardian) Doctors (a doctor could be a staff member and also a guardian).
What is the best way to approach the design of these tables as i dont want to have to enter the same name, address details etc, more than once for if a person is in more then one of the people information categories.
The main focus of the database is driven by the player Information.
I want to show what guardians are responsible for each player, who the players doctor is, etc.
Hi, first of all sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but I think I'm ok!
Secondly, I don't have much knowledge in access, so anything may help me ;)
I want to create a football spreadsheet something like this one: http://www.databasedev.co.uk/user_interface_3.html
It doesnt need to be too similar, but it needs to have somewhere for the user to put in results of matches - like on the form on that one.
All I have so far is two tables - one for team names and one for player names.
Do I need to make a form as a place where results can be put into the database?
Also, I need to create a league table, based on the results. 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw (real football rules) but I don't know how to make the table. Would it be a table, a query, a report? I'm clueless on that part really ;) So any help would be good.
Any help on the relationships I need would also be great
I am trying to create an Access system for a 5 a-side football company. They have both League Fixtures and private bookings. The aim of the system is to allow for input of new teams, referees and fixtures and also for private bookings.
Im really struggling with this one. I have had a go at designing it in Access but the forms wont work.
I wanted the system to have the following fields:
TBL_Booking Booking ID Pitch Number Date Time Fixture ID Customer ID (Only one of the last two fields will be filled in one being for a league fixture and one for a private booking)
TBL_Fixture Fixture ID Referee ID Team1 ID Team2 ID
TBL_Customer Customer ID Customer Name Contact Number
I have a lot of help on some reports but I keep running into a problem when dealing with ranges. A football field is 100 yards long. It is broken into field zones by yard lines. For example, -1 to -10, -11 to -25, -26 to -49, 50 to 26, 25 to 11, 10 to 1. I am trying to find some percentages for those field zones.
I know you can create an IIf statement that could give it another value, but how can I create a query asking for all plays or values when the field position lies within a certain range (ie. from the -1 to -10)?
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. I am a novice Access user and we are trying to use Access for our recruiting database and our Scouting database.
Firstly I'd just like to say HHHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I'm creating a fantasy football database for a skool project but have hit somewhat of a stumbbling block with the way to display the team. After discussion with my teacher we decided combo boxes was the best solution (im open to other suggestions) However we cant come up with method to cascade the combo boxes :confused:. I need to cascade the four defenders boxes together, the four midfielders together and lastly the two attackers.
Ive tried to do this using an update query but the problem with that is its updating all the records rather than jus the one I dont no what else i can do and im really hoping one if u's cazn help. Im also tryin to make the user not be able to select more than 2 players from the one team if anyone knows how t create some sort of validation rule for that
I'm currently trying to create a form which allows the specific users to book a seat at a football match.
I've created all the relevant tables, but I'm struggling on how to interpret the data into them to make the form work. I am new to this sort of design, this design is currently for my university dissertation and I am struggling to get it completed in time.
I have attached my document below to show how far i have come.
is it possible to create a league table on those results.
1. There is more than one competition in the table so it would have to be by compID 2. There is fixtures without results so they would have to be excluded as well.
I have created a new Access database and need a few additional things that I would like to add. I created a database for inventory within my company. Only a few people will have access to it so security will not be an issue. However, I have a couple questions. Is their a way to have a popup when you open the database to insert let's say the serial number of the computer (already in my forms) and then it will automatically bring up that information. Also, I do not want any of my forms edited. I want this done strictly through the tables. So this leads to my next question. Is their a way once you have a form up that you can enter a different serial number and the information will automatically populate. If not, can you add a search query or option or what needs to be done. Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right section, but i'm sure someone will tell me.
I have 2 questions, first is about concatenation. I've looked endlessly & have tried a few scripts, but all to no avail.
eg db: Name: Dpt: Tom sales John sales Jerry mgm Albert sales Keith mgm
eg report that I want Sales - Tom, John, Albert MGM - Jerry, Keith
What is the best way to do that?
2nd Question. In the same db, what i'm wanting to do is if I change the data in any record, it will track the changes.
eg Albert has changed departments from sales to management (mgm as above), and so when you view albert's information, you can do something to pull up any & all changes made to that particular person. Any ideas there! Once again, i've searched the net and can't seem to find the best result.
I am just a new greenhore learning ms access and I am planning for a warehouse/inventory storage database.
My question :
1) I have 4 product division (Do you think it is good to have 4 tables):confused: 2) The calculation field. (How does the mechanism work when I take the the item out from the inventory, it will show as total storage -1 (eg, the storage have 5 units and I took 1. it show balance left 4).:confused:
About question 2, is it that I have a to do separate table again.
Temporary, I have these 2 problems and hope all access expert can help.
I am fairly new to access and am trying to put together a project for work. I need to be able to create a list of all of the employees and which team they are in. So no problems with this.
I also need to be able to mark in their records where they can advertise and the quota they have. Each employee may be able to advertise in more than one location.
What I would like to create is a form for each team that displays the employees and where they can advertise. So far I have managed to get a subform to show this for each office but each employee has record for each job board. See Picture1.http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n170/nharri/1-1.gif
Ideally I would like something like picture 2. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n170/nharri/2-1.gif
Hello!First of all I am new to these forums and I'm also a beginner with Access so have patience :) and I don't know if this thread is in the correct part of the forums so if a moderator feels like it's not feel free to move it.Me and a friend are interns at a company in US and the company assigned us to gather data from several excel sheets and build a completely new database. This database contains several tables.This isnt the correct names of the tables, it just to give you an idea how it looks at this moment.Customer information. (key: Customer ID)Resellers (Key: Reseller ID)Newsletter subscriptionsProducts (Key: Serial Number)Software (Key: Licence) Product2 (completely different product from the others) (key: Serial number)Invoices (Billing information, debit, credit, etc) (key: Invoice ID)OK, that explains how our tables looks like. And ofc in the tables we have different fields.Our problem at this moment is our form. Because we want to use a form to enter the data. We believe that it will be the fastest way and the easiest.I have a picture for you to show you our problem.It seems like the FORM is looking in the same table. But we want all the "fields" in the form to represent its own table. We tried to gather all tables into 1 Query and use the query when we created the form, the problem dissapears BUT a new one comes along. If we use a query in the form we can fill out all the fields but we can't create a new "record" with empty fields to enter more data hence leaving us with only one record of information. This is realy starting get on our nerves. Can someone help us?
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes. I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
Hi there, Heres my situation I have a basic form for a customer shopwing all general details the top field is Customer ID in which I would like to enter a customer ID and for the rest of the data to appear for that customer in the remaining fields, I have a small amount of knowledge with access and believe I need to a Dlookup but I am unsure where and how to put this expression i'm thinking maybe in a query. Any help would be great, My field names are listed below to make any help a little clearer
Hi this should be very simple, but it's not for me. I am creating a database logging machine error's. Each error has a recorded start and end time, which I enter. I want the database to enter the elapsed time into a third field, 'ElapsedTime'. I see how to do this in the builder, just subtracting the two fields. But I know not to make it a condition of my query, that doesnt make sense. Where do I put my expression so that my table updates itself with the new field?
I am creating a database concerning products sold.
I am a beginner of using Access Database and would like to know if this is possible...
At the designing stage of tables and relationships is it possible to link and construct, so that the stock quantity of each product is kept up to date. so, when an order is made of produc '123', product '123' updates it stock quantity be deducting the quantity ordered.
I need to figure out how to program an expression that will reset a value on a form to zero if the product of it's calculation is less than zero.
I am figuring out sales commissions for listing Ebay items and there are some instances where the item doesn't sell, so it's a net loss because of the fees Ebay charges to list the item. I have programmed the form to take 10% of whatever the net gain is and use that as the salespersons commission. But in instances where the item doesn't sell, it actually takes money away since 10% of a negative number is a negative value.
In cases like this, I need the expression to just show a zero, if the number is negative.
If anyone could help, I would be greatly appreciative.
Hi all. Had a quick peruse and this place seems really helpful, lets hope you can help me out here.
I have a project to do which roughly described is engineers doing jobs on aircraft. Three main tables:
Engineer Booking Job
The job table denotes the work required on an aircraft, with a unique barcode for the "job card". The Engineer table contains information about our engineers, with a unique ID.
Now here's my problem. The booking table needs to store information from both of these tables, but store it seperately. So I need to take some information from Engineer (ID, name, trade etc) and some from the Job table (barcode, description etc) and store it again in the "booking" table along with a few other "new" fields unique to the booking table. When this "booking" is made, it must record the start time, furthermore when the record is returned to later and closed, the duration of it being "open" must be worked out (total job time).
Ideally I'd like to create a form whereby I drop down a combo box and select an engineer (or type and autocomplete) it fills in the rest of his details, I then drop down another box and select a barcode (or again autocomplete) and that completes the rest of the job details. I then type in the new fields I also need, and this all gets stored in the "booking" table.
Any help greatly appreciated :)
I'm working with A2K3 for clarification, and can post/email my current database if required.
I've searched and could not find what I was looking for. I have NO database experience but need to learn quick
I have an html page with an iFrame (flash menu on left - iFrame on right) When I click a product image on the left this is what I need to happen. - Flash send a variable - The iFrame to load an HTML page that will populate with an image, 2 text fields, and 3 hyperlinks dependant on what product is clicked in the flash.
I am using access since it is what i have at work, and i can just add all the products in a table pretty quickly and easitly. I set up a table in access with the image, hyperlinks, and text that needs to populate in the html page. The HTML page is set up in tables if that makes a difference...
I just don't know where to go from here to make my connections and how to set it up.
I downloaded a database of historical baseball stats recently and having been playing around with Access for a bit although frankly, I haven't been able to learn or do much. Anyways, here's my question:
I have one table that is a master list of all the players. The two main things I'm worried about are the playerID and the birthyear (year of birth). In another table I have batting stats from the players from each year they played. However, it is missing the year of birth which I need to calculate the age in that year. So, I need to get the birthyear from the master table and put it into the batting table next to the corresponding ID. Most players played for multiple years so then for everytime a playerID occurs in the batter table, I have to insert the corresponding birthyear from the master column. Hope that makes sense.
As I said, I'm completely new to this kinda stuff so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all. Would anyone be so kind as to help me out with this beginners problem. I have a lot a books which i'd like to sort into categories. I'd like to be able to select a category from a combobox on a form, and for relevant books in that category to appear in a listbox. Upon clicking on a particular book on the listbox, relevent info should appear on the form eg. date purchased,author etc. Is it also possible to have an option to view all books from a particular genre in spreadsheet format embedded in the form, and an option to view every book regardless of genre. I'd then like to be able to print reports on each/all. I'm sure i'd be able to manage if someone could kindly get me on the right path with an example.
Hi all, I am a novice database user, having only ever used simple databases. I need to produce a database which stores the path to images. I want to design a database with a table of Items with fields such as :-
ItemID ItemName ItemDesc ItemCategory ItemPhoto
each item may have many photos of the item, but I will not know the exact amount, although probably less than 10 photos per item.
Photo will have details (fields) such as :-
PhotoID PhotoName PhotoPathURL PhotoDesc
I realise that each item can have many photos, but a photo can only have one item. Would I need a table to link these two tables? Your advice greatly appreciated.
later on down the road, we will be inputing other fields, is it possible to have another form for specific information, that would be linked to this....
I apologize in advance if this question is completely obtuse, but I'll pose it to the group nonetheless.
My task is to analyze accruals versus actuals for the past quarter (i.e., July-September). What is of particular interest are the variances between the accrued and actual amounts. I have several fields of data, but the common field is Shipping Unit (SU). My initial plan is to upload the tables with the accrued and actual records separately and query SU's to pull in all instances in which there are matching accrued and actual SU's. This is where it gets a bit fuzzy for me. I would export the resulting queries into Excel, unless there is a means to produce the analysis directly from Access.
I haven't used Access in ages, so I don't recall how I might best proceed. Please advise with your thoughts. :confused:
Hi everyone, i 'm a begginer at access so forgive me. i have a table that looks like this:
polygonID tree species other.atributtes 1 a .... 1 b ..... 1 c .... 2 b .... 3 a .... 3 a .... 3 a .... 4 b .... 5 a .... 5 c .... what i want to do is to create a query or querries that will show me the polygons that have only one tree species. for example in the above table it would be polygon 2,3,4. thanx in advance
