I have a database containing 3 tables: Book, Member, and Loan. A relationship exists between the 3 tables(the relationship has no problems, I have enabled referential integrity). I created a query named Loan Query which uses all the 3 tables.
In the loan Query, the Member ID field is in Loan Table and the Member Name field is in the Member Table. This allows the database to automatically type the Name when the Member ID is entered into the query retrieving the information from the Member Table. This also works fine. But the problem is that the Name field of the Loan TABLE (not query) remains blank.
All I want to do is for the database to also write the Name in the Loan Table along with the Loan Query. I will also have to apply the same for other fields also.
I am a beginner in Microsoft Access and so whosoever replies, please elaborate the solution.
I have a field in which I wish to post several contacts. The contacts are listed in a table and populate the specific field via a drop down. In this specific field I want to select "mary" "bob" and "fred" (all three to display) however only one is displayed.....
I have two tables, one with a list of accounts (ACC), the other to post data about the accounts (DATA). I created a form for DATA and a combo box to select the account it relates to.
In the DATA split form, the account name shows up correctly in the datasheet. But when I select the DATA table, the ID of the account name shows up instead. How do I get the table to look the same as the datasheet in the split form?
I hope someone can guide me in the right direction. I have developed a database to keep track of Service Calls we receive. We manufacture and/or service a wide range of products from Automatic Laundry/Kitchen chemical dispensers to office furniture. We are currently using this data base and it works well, I'm trying to make it easier for the user.
I have a form to enter information into a table, tblService Calls. In the form I have a ComboBox labeled Issue Code which looks up information in a table tblService Issue. I also have a ComboBox labeled Service Issue which also looks up information in the tblService Issue.
tblServiee Issue looks like this: Issue Code Service Issue 101 Laundry Install 201 Kitchen Install and so on
What I'm trying to do is when I enter issue code 101 in ComboBox Issue Code, I would like the Service Issue (Laundry Install) to automatically post in the ComboBox or TextBox labeled Service Issue. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me! Larry D.
I have some code that checks if a file exists, its file size, creation date and date modified. The code works fine..however..
I need to import the file it is checking and that file can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to complete its posting. In fact I used the code to check it the other day and the code showed that it exists, its creation/modifed date and also its file size - however, the file size was what it was at that moment I ran the code. If I immediately re-run the code, the file size changes - obviously due to the fact that the file is still posting (and growing due to the date being posted to it). Also note that the (completed) file size will vary each day the file is posted
So, what I would like to know is, is their a way to check to see if a file has completed posting? Something akin to .filecreated like .filecompleted (yes or no) type thing?
Here is the code:
Public Sub sub_chk_files2() Dim obj_fs As Object Dim obj_folder As Object Dim obj_files As Object Dim obj_f1 As Object Dim db As DAO.Database
I am trying to create a database for a company I work with which creates a food product which needs to be traceable from creation to finish. I have created a table with all of the necessary information for the creation of a batch.
1. During this batch creation, we add water multiple times which we record each time, i.e., 2cups, 2 cups, 2cups, etc. I have a field for "water", and wish to record each instance and amount of water added, but only want one record for the complete batch. Also I only need the total water amount in the batch record, but want to be able to expand to see the individual amounts as needed.
2. Also, we need to record various readings (temp, etc.) throughout batch creation. Again, same problem as before.
What is the best way to do this? I want to be able to reference this info anytime I want to check creation specs for each individual batch.
I have a form designed to execute a query with a prompt for a particular record. When the record being searched for is not there the form become blank with nothing on it. I would like to return a message that indicates that the record was not found and give he user an option of reexecuting the query of exiting the form.
Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.
I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?
I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type 12345, 67890, 1 12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345 12345, 54321 ...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.
I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs 1 Max Maximus 5 2 Min Minimus 0 3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name 1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty 2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .
i have 4 supplier tables with identical field names but different databases in sql.I want to have them all in one table and only want the information for reference i do not want to edit any of the data.I need to create a new primary key number for the complete table. The data will need to be refreshed as the data comes from MMS Sage looking at company PLsuppliers.
I have tried a linked SQL union view- but this has no primary key.I need to keep the Primary key consistent as the data saved in other tables will use this field.The overall goal is creating a Purchase order system and this list will be my complete supplier list.
I have a form displaying the 11 fields of the parent/primary table using a selection from a combo box. I am using queries and vba code modules respective to form, combo box and command buttons. I have initial code that uses the two fields from the combo box selection to append same to a new parent/primary archive table. I now want to add to the append SQL the remaining fields to the parent/primary archive table. When I add the second sql string for the remaining fields to the same procedure and execute I keep getting 'null in primary key'. If I copy the primary record and paste same into the archive table it works.
Private Sub Command26_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Archive_Primary_Click
Dim strSQL As String Dim strSQL2 As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ARC_289325045 ([Survey Point ID], [Survey Area Detail], [Date On Site]) " & _ "VALUES ('" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(0) & "','" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(1) & "'," & _ "#" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(2) & "#)"

The next step is to do the same for the child table and append related records to the child archive table.

I'm looking into storing query data in temp tables for my reports run better. From what I'm reading, it seems best to have the temp tables in a separate db, and to break the links to avoid bloating of the FE database. I'm unsure how to do this with VBA, especially since my temp database will be password protected. When do I break the link - when I close the FE database?
In my Membership Database (Access 2010), I have a Table entitled [Foreigners] in which are stored the names of prospective members of the organisation and the name and ID of the Interest Group they are proposing to join. When a formal Application to join is received their personal details are recorded using an Entry Form related to the main [Mail List] Table.
The current procedure then is to manually delete the entry from the [Foreigner] Table and finally to record their Interest Group data using another Entry Form entitled [GroupMembers]. This relies on an operator remembering to do the necessary.
It occurs to me that this process could be automated. I wondered whether it could be entirely automated or would be best effected with a button on the main Entry Form, such that on completion of data entry of personal details the button would be activated to do the necessary deletion and addition.
The [Foreigner] Table is an entirely stand-alone table, having no relationship with the other concerned tables. The only common factor will be the Member Name, which in the main table is a concatenation of First Name & Surname..
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?
I am new to Microsoft Access. I have built two entry forms for product release information. I have a drop box under the label customer for each specific customer. I would like for this form to send the data entered in the form to the customer specific table from the customer names in the drop box. I have tried to research and execute this myself thus have been very unsuccessful.
I have created an Access 2000 Db, and have gone through the motions of splitting the Db via the Splitting Tool. Since I have done this split, I have added forms, queries, and reports to the Front End. I have left the Back end table structures alone.
This is where my problem comes into play. To enter data into the Db, I use the forms. After splitting the Db, I assumed that the data would be stored in the tables in the BE. An issue had just presented itself and I went into the BE table structure to add a field to a couple of the tables, and when I opened the BE table in the datasheet view, I noticed that there were no records. I then became curious because when I run my reports and queries, the information is present. So I opened the FE tables and what do you know, all the data I have input since the split is housed in the FE tables.
I already attempted to Update the Table Links, but that did not solve the problem, and the data is still in the FE.
Can someone, anyone please help or offer some suggestions on how to resolve this dilemna.
