Project Database

May 4, 2007

Hi all

I have extensively searched the forum to try and find an answer.

Im trying to develop a Project tracker database which will track the progress of my ongoing projects, does anyone out there have an example or another link to get me started.

I know MS Project would be the answer but we do not ned it in as much detail as this and they definately want it written in MS Access.

Many thanks for any help

Create EXE From Database And Have Several Project Using Same Database

Oct 24, 2013

I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.

the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.

Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?

I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open.
and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.

Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.

This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.

Help With Project Manhours Database

Feb 15, 2005

Hello. This might sound silly but I am totally lost and confused. I have been given an assignment to create a Project Mahours database. This is a place where the project managers can go in pull up information about an employee from a list box or combo box it then pops open a subform that has all the projects and manhours by percents this employee is working during any given week. I was thinking that I could use cascading Comboboxes to pull the employee information and the week information but unsure how to do that since they are on two separate forms. Also, they would like to have each week calculated for a total of time to equal a total of 100% of time.

The would also like to do this with the Projects where is lists what employees are working on each project and for how many hours each week.

They would also like to query the information and print reports to be taken into meetings for an overview. Eventually they would like to use the database as a way to do a cost analysis of what to charge the client for with regards to manhours on the job. There is a lot and the file is 4MB and attached.

You can see that I have created 5 tables and a couple of forms - one of the forms is complete data entry but I have no clue how I did that. And I have not made any subforms because it is all very confusing to me. I am unsure if my relationships are okay and I can't seem to get a query to work by pulling information from 2 tables. Please if you can help, I am in desparate need of it. Thank you.

Access 'project' Versus 'database'

Apr 5, 2005

I seem to be missing an understanding of the difference between a project and a database. I am using a .mdb and writing code with success until I try to use the recordset feature which I took from my "VBA programming" book.

My code is simple...

Dim db As Database
Dim rec As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim listEmails As String

strSQL = "SELECT Email from Member"

db = CurrentDb()
rec = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)

Do Until rec.EOF
listEmails = listEmails & Chr$(10) & rec(Email)
Loop

rec.Close

MsgBox listEmails

But when I run it I get a compile error because in line 1 the term 'database' is only a class in "a project".

Can anyone explain the issue and better still the solution.

Thanks

Phill

Guidance Needed For A Text Database Project Please

Oct 30, 2007

I'm kinda lost in here so I'd appreciate some help in pointing me in the right direction please. I've no doubt the answers are out there but I'm having trouble finding what I need, probably because I don't know how to frame my questions!

Basically the story is this - there are three guys covering various aspects of the business, they each visit three separate locations - all guys visit all locations. We have made a "big plan" that has 14 key deliverables in the locations as a "region" .

For each Key Deliverable there will be Actions, some Actions will be done in all locations, some might only be needed in one location. Each owner will describe the Action and link it to the Key Deliverable it supports.

What we want to do are things like
Take Location 1 and Guy A and show all the things he is doing to support Key Deliverable X.

or

Show all the Actions in Location 2 that are being done to deliver Key Deliverable Y by all Guys.

That sort of thing - progress reporting and identifying where we have nothing happening to support a Key Deliverable or too many actions in one Location etc

We have all our plans in Excel spreadsheets at the moment, each guy fills in a sheet and at present the idea is that we copy and paste it into the mother of all spreadsheets to present to the Gods - it's not happened yet because it's clumsy and well, it's my job to present it and I thought "there's gotta be a better way!" I can import the sheets into Access but then it all gets a little tricky and I run out of tallent.

OK so if you've read this far you're wondering if I have any idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Access! Well I am pretty much self taught and rusty but I can see that Access could help us get organised and

My limitations - I'm using standard Access 2007, I doubt corportate IT security would allow me to add in any useful plug ins or upgrades etc.

Am I using the right tools? I'm limited to MS Office really so I mean should I stick to Excel or carry on pursuing an Access solution?

Thanks for reading this far :-)

Jan 28, 2007

Hi,

I am finishing an Access database for a customer that may want, in a later stage, to have a website(probably ASP) that would connect on the same database. Is that possible? I mean can an Access project on a pc connect to remote database(mdb or SQL server) used by the website?

If so can you give me some quick steps to do so or a good article on it?

Thanks.

How Do I Complete This Project? Need A Few Answers To Finish DB Project.

Apr 25, 2005

I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.

1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?

2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?

3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?

4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.

New Project

Apr 18, 2006

Hi guys. Back on the development trail having enjoyed a long break after the birth of my son :)

How quick one forgets!!

Project: My father-in-law would like me to develop a DB for his new company. They buy and sell plant hire (all done the old fashioned way, on paper).

His requirements are a little beyond anything I have attempted in the past so was hoping for some sound advice.

He would like to be able to record both Sales and Purchases. I have never worked with Stock before. What is the best method, any examples (did a search on stock prior to posting). He would also like to have VAT as an option (this stumped me on my last project!!).

Many Thanks,
Phil.

A Little Project I Need Some Help With.

Mar 13, 2008

Hey guys, new here and I need a little help with a project my boss wants me to complete.

Basically right now, he has a huge directory of quote sheets that he fills out whenever he wants to generate a quote for a customer (they are excel files, i've attached a picture of one). He wants me to create something that will scan through this directory file by file and extract certain pieces of information from each excel file, and put them into a database. The company I work for isn't too big, so i'm going to use access as the database.

I've also suggested building a new quote sheet in VB, and programming it so everytime the form is closed, the certain pieces of information he wants will be saved into the database. So I guess after this we can forget about Excel. But also, he wants to be able to bring up the entire quote sheet again if need be.

If you guys could please help me out, what would be the best way of going about doing this? Am I heading in the right direction as far as my thinking goes?

I am new to this forum and to Access. I have expierience with visual basic.

I am making a program in access for saving data when someone borrows something from you, to keep track of all your borrowed stuff.

Here are my questions.

1) How can I write code for buttons to change the records (movenext, movelast,...) + how can I change the current record? + how can I control a scrollbar via code?

2) How can I change the current recordsource via code and how can I run previously made query statements via code?

3) How can I change the ShowDropButtonWhen property from a combobox via code?

4) How can I control a FlexGrid via code?

5) How can I open another Form with a press on a button via code?

6) How can I save and load an OLE/object image and how can I show them via an ActiveX control?

Thats about it folks

If anyone can point me in the right direction or can give me an example database, I would be very happy:)

Project Management

Dec 1, 2006

I have over the last few months been building my own Project management system.This is based around A Phase task principle but the phases and tasks are used to create an estimate for a project depending on how much time is assigned to each Task.The system can use multiply Estimates with different billing codes plus their is a billing code system where billing can be done by a default list of codes (Rates 1-5) Or assigned rates for a client.I'm not after any money for it and will make it available to members hear.If anybody want to look at it and maybe make suggestions on improvements or let me know of any errors that would be greatIt would be an mde with an mdb back end.You should be able to update the back end that I don't think will be a problem LOL When it comes to new versions.As I said I don't want ANYTHING For you using it but would be nice to get it working better.mickp.s Ill Post some pictures if ya want. And It is a work in progress?Please use this topic from now on http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=121117 this is where the beta 1 downloads available from.
