Probably A Simple Question About Tables

Apr 6, 2006

I am trying to find out what the little arrow next to specific tables is, I believe it's something signifying that it's an updated table....but if I copy one to replace with a new one yet want to keep that old one for a side by side comparison, how do I remove that arrow?

I know this is probably very confusing how I am asking but hopefully there's some really simple way to do this.....or hopefully I am making sense.


Basically this is a This Year Vs Last Year Comparison with data exctracted from a main frame, brought in on a daily basis in the new table and I want the results of all of last year to remain in this other table...so basically FY 2005 vs FY 2006

Hope this makes sense
Thanks

Please Help With Simple Query (only 2 Tables!)

Sep 5, 2007

I'm using Access 2000. I have 2 tables in my query: tblPlace and tblConnection. Using a form and the Connection table I can link 2 places together from the Place table and present it in a query; for example:
SELECT tblPlace.Place_ID, tblPlace.Name, tblPlace_1.Place_ID, tblPlace_1.Name
FROM tblPlace AS tblPlace_1 INNER JOIN (tblPlace INNER JOIN tblConnection ON tblPlace.Place_ID = tblConnection.Place1) ON tblPlace_1.Place_ID = tblConnection.Place2
WHERE (((tblPlace.Place_ID)=13) AND ((tblPlace.Type)="Street") AND ((tblPlace_1.Type)="Street")) OR (((tblPlace_1.Place_ID)=13) AND ((tblPlace.Type)="Street") AND ((tblPlace_1.Type)="Street"));
http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/sydenham/access1.jpg
Here I want to find out which other streets link to street 13 (Perry Hill). Running the query shows 5 different connections:
http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/sydenham/access2.jpg
I need to somehow combine both sets of IDs and street names (except Perry Hill), so that I end up with a filtered list in alphabetical order:
17 Bell Green
38 Castlands Road
12 Catford Hill
14 Elm Lane
16 Perry Rise
Is there any way this can be done so that I end up with only the above data? :confused: Any help would be much appreciated!

Simple DB Trouble - Entities, Tables Etc

Sep 6, 2006

Hi

i currently have a simple spreadsheet in Excel containgin the following fields.

## Date - not unique
simpy shows the date of the transaction

## Debt - who the debt will be paid to - unique per date (e.g. CompanyA)

## Type of debt - what service is it - not unique by date or debtor (e.g. Wages)

## Net Price before VAT (X)

## VAT (value added tax, a UK tax) (Y)

## Price of Service (Z = X+Y)

## Running total of Net Price before VAT (X + X + X...)

## Running total of VAT (Y + Y + Y...)

##Balance - (Z + Z + Z...)

The spreadsheet currently calculates this automatically using simple formulas.

I'd like to create a nice little interface for this data entry using MS access forms. From then I can easily create queries and reports etc.

can somebody please help me out! :D I've tried to list my entities and create an ERD to no avail!

Many Thanks

Mike

Tables :: Simple Cascade Update Not Working

Oct 29, 2013

I've done this tons of times, so I don't understand what's happening... The title says it all: when I update the ID of one record of the main table, the referenced records on related tables won't update even though they have a relationship between them with the option "Cascade update" clicked.

In the attached database, the main table "Expedientes" is related to table "Actuaciones".

Tables :: Avoid Double Bookings In Simple Database?

Jun 7, 2013

I work across a number of small venues which have art cases that can be booked for displays. I am trying to build a simple data base to report what space is available and also what art is currently being displayed. The art is usually booked by month, but sometime it can be booked for a week etc.

I have set up 3 tables

Art Inventory

Art Cases by Venue

Art Case Bookings

In the art case booking form, I have set up the start and end date but I cannot figure out how to avoid double bookings of a case? Once I have that worked out I believe I know how to build the required reports for my needs.

Simple Question For A Simple DB

Dec 29, 2006

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

A Simple One For You All

Nov 22, 2005

Hi,
I have looked at some of the threads here and it is clear that many of you are working on a much higher level than me and with a high degree of familiarity with the programme.
I am hoping that someone here is able to give me some advice as I don't find the MS help files digestible.
The task I have is to join 2 databases and produce a table from which I can run a mailmerge.
I have managed to join the 2 databases and I used a customer ID as a common link. (my apologies if the terminology is incorrect)
I now have all the data I require in one table.
THE PROBLEMs I have multiple entries for some of my customers and would like to reduce this to single entries (which is understandable). Please tell me how to do this if you can, and keep it as simple as you can please.

In anticipation I thank you very much.

:-)

This Should Be Relatively Simple?

Feb 16, 2006

Not sure what the issue is here but i am trying to append a Job number from a main database into two connected databases.
The number is a sequential number i have created and the primary key.
It is an autonumber field(obviously). The format is J0000 and the numbers start from J0001

I am using two different append queries to append them into the external databases tables.
However (and here i think lies the problem) the fields i am inserting them into are text fields with the same format J0000.
When i view the numbers in these tables, they are displayed as J1 or J9. The 0's are missing.
Any ideas.

Thank you in advance

This Is Probably Really Simple!

Feb 21, 2006

Hey guys, I'm just wondering how I could limit a field to using from 2 - 20 letters. If I placed the letter "a", I'd get an error saying how at least 2 letters must be there, and a maximum of 20. How would I do this?

Lastly, how can I make it so when I enter data into a form, I can click a button which adds it all into the table?
When I do it normally, it's automatically transferred into the table as I type it into the form.

This is incredibly simple I know, but I am a n00b at Access. ^_^

Thanks guys.

Should Be Simple.....

May 18, 2005

OK, I have a strange problem... This doesn't seem to work..... It did... then I made some changes.... Can someone clue me in on what I am doing wrong? A query, simply summing some values in fields... no biggy...... BUT...
The field
TotalHours: ([SundayHours]+[MondayHours]+[TuesdayHours]+[WednesdayHours]+[ThursdayHours]+[FridayHours]+[SaturdayHours])

So why isn't this working?
Can I use a simple VBA statement to sum these fields?


:confused:

Probably Something Simple

Oct 18, 2006

I am trying to create an IN query (ACCESS) which will firstly show the customers table (specific details) then the orders details should be in the IN query, I formulated this but it won't work:

SELECT s.CustomerID, Address, City, PostalCode
FROM Customers s
WHERE
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1996')
AND
s.OrderID IN
(SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p
WHERE s.OrderDate = '1997');

Here is the one I did to show the customers and orders who made orders in 1996 and 97:

SELECT Customers.CustomerID AS Customers_CustomerID, Orders.CustomerID AS Orders_CustomerID, Customers.Address, Customers.City, Customers.PostalCode, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
WHERE (((Orders.OrderDate) Between #1/1/1996# And #12/31/1997#));



it is probably something simple I am missing here! Sorry to keep asking :(

IIf - This Has GOT To Be Simple...

Mar 16, 2007

but I can't seem to figure it out. All I get is Null values when I run the query.

I have a form with a start text box and a end text box. I use the form name sucessfully in the criteria row so I know there is no problem with the form name. I also know there is no problem with the qry name. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?!?!

The query I am working in is labeled [qry_old_summary_date_range]. Just wanted to clarify that is not a problem.

1st Pay Increase: IIf([qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]>=[Forms]![Human Resources]![Start] And [qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase]<=[Forms]![Human Resources]![End],[qry_old_summary]![1st Pay Increase],Null)

This Should Be Simple ...

Mar 30, 2007

and presumably it's only me who's irgorant.

I have a table with dates of deadlines and another with dates of submissions. For each deadline I want to know who submitted first. I figured that all I had to do was compute the difference between the dates and the select the minimum. However, Access rejects the Min() function in the WHERE clause. How do I avoid this?

Thanks a lot !!

This Should Be Simple ...

Jun 27, 2007

I have a table (imported from excel) that is a pricing grid for blinds. The header row at the top is widths(mm) and the header row down the left is heights(mm). The data is the price. The import process makes the widths the column names.

height 600 800 1200 ...
300 $60 $80 $100
600 $80 $100 $120
900 $120 $140 $160
.
.
all I want to do is to take that table and make it flattened, like this:

height width price
300 600 $60
300 800 $80
300 1200 $100
600 600 $80
600 800 $100
600 1200 $120
900 600 $120
900 800 $140
900 1200 $160

I can't think how to do this in a query - I could take the flat version and create a crosstab to go the other way. Any clues - I don't want to change too much about the way the imported excel file looks becasue I have no control over that (I already discard miscellaneous heading and junk before I import it)

Hope you can help

This Should Be Simple

Jan 15, 2008

My Brain has completely lost all of it's gray matter.

I have two tables tbl_Employers and tbl_Services that are linked via a one to many relationship. Each Employer can have Many Services. The field i am useing in the relationship is EmployerID

If I build a simple select query using these tables I will see all of the employers that have a related record in the services table. Any employer could be listed there many times as per the relationship.

What i want is a simple count of how many employers actually have recieved a service.

Why is this so difficult for me to get my head around.

Really Simple One

Mar 12, 2008

this might be a crude roundabout way of doing things
but it works as is, and i'm trying to streamline a little.

i have a database that contains all of my customer's details.
once a month remove those whom no longer want my mailout,
and export the remainder into excel so that my printer can print and stuff envelopes.

i record customers that no longer wish to recieve my mailout, by putting something(anything) in a column that says rts.

what i'm trying to work out is, how in a simple query i can prevent any record that has any value in the rts column from displaying the name/address etc.

if there's a code to say

if anything in rts exists then hide name address state postcode

G'Day:

I am working on a simnple form that has just a few simple calculations in it. One being wieght difference and the other being percentage weight difference.

I get Access to calculate the wieght difference easily, but Ican't then get it to calculate a percentage weight difference (in another cell).

This is what I have down for code.

If Weigh1 <> 0 Then
WeightDiff = Weigh1 - Weigh2
End If
If WeightDiff <> 0 Then
PerWeightLoss = WeightDiff / Weigh1
End If

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

A Simple One.....

May 15, 2005

:confused: I have a logon form which works well and authenticates users via a table. The problem is when the form is loaded the user has to click into the text box to type their name. I want a cursor to be flashing in the text box when the form opens so the user can type their name straight away without having to touch the mouse. I have ensured that the tab index for the text box is first however this has not resolved. Is it something to do with focus? If so how to I ensure that the text box has focus on launching the logon form??

Should Be Simple, Right?

Sep 27, 2005

I have a very basic form (frmHalfTab) based on a basic table (tblHalfTab2). The table is uploaded periodically from excel, overwriting the original table. I'm trying to determine the best way to accomplish the following:

I need a query, Dlookup, SQL statement, or something, that will look at the contents of one field (MBRDrug) and populate the following field (MBRDrugAlt) based on what's in the first field. For example, if MBRDrug field has "Pravachol 10MG" in it, I need it to fill in MBRDrugAlt with "Pravachol 20MG". I am hoping to set this up in the form's OnOpen event to occur automatically with no direct user input, as this is what my boss is asking for. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Also, in my failed attempts, I have the original drug and it's suggested alternate in it's own table, tblHalfTab1, if that helps with any suggested solutions. Help?

Simple Is Not So Simple

May 22, 2006

This has racked my brain. Problem=
The "simple problem" is to create a 2nd subform that alerts the user that a vendor order has already been generated and show a listing of what forms they are. This is determined by field VendorOrderID. So I thought a little something like this would work.

If BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.VenID = VendorOrdersub.Form.VendorOrderID Then
BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.AllowAdditions = False
VendorOrdersub.Form.Visible = True
Else
If BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.VenID = VendorOrdersub.Form.VendorOrderID Then
BidOrdersSubDetail.Form.AllowAdditions = True
VendorOrdersub.Form.Visible = False
End If
End If
:( then came Error 2427 :eek: expression has no value.

Now i have lost the last of my hair to pull and rewrote the code several ways. It will not let me assign a value of 0, I cannot figure the propper use of IIF, true, false, :confused:

any help, the vendor id is not generated untill after the order is created. They can review an order, which is the reason to block additions to the main sub form, and to notify the user that it is complete and what vendors were used. There for there is no value to vendorOrdersId for a new one which is the only identifier I have.
