I've got a table [Devices] with some number fields that are already in there for another purpose.
In a different exercise I will manually collect more information from a layout drawing and give each piece of information I collect a unique reference(this could be as simple as a PK ref) and attach a "type" and "location" . This will be done randomly in a batch exercise any time.
I need to put the above into access and hold it until I choose to individually allocate these records to the number field that already exists in the [Devices] table.
I would like to add "say" a combo/List box in [Devices] where I could search for the PK Ref which when selected against a number would populate the [Devices] table with previously unallocated information. I would like to keep any combo/List box down to unallocated PK refs to make records easy to find. I guess this a kind of cut and paste exercise.
What is the best way to allocate a record number to the end user?
I have had problems where users have come back to me saying that both of them created the same record number at the same time and I am not sure why that is happening.
To be certain, I am using INSERT rather than UPDATE which was my initial concern (an update would just over write the previous record)
How can we check the last value, uniquely assign that value to a person at the point of creating the record and ensure that no one else can take it...
Is it possible that a laggy server would cause these issues? (as the code executes roughly the same time as another person also executes code, they overlap?)
1. I created a table that contains information about people and their details (mainly numerical info). 2. I created a form containing a command button and a label. 3. I have written a VBA script under the button so that when the button is pressed, the result of the calculation appears as the caption on the label.
My problem is...How do I get the script to run so it does the calculation for every record and places the result as a field in a query.
tblmntlyalloc (Three fields and 12 rows i.e. one row for each month) 2015mnth, 2015allocation, 2015wrkdays jan 98 20 feb 93 19 etc etc etc
So in order to handle seasonality of sales, the sales department is given 1,200 points. you can then allocation any number of points (75 - 125) per month. But the total number of points must equal 1,200. So I created a table with the monthly allocation and workdays. I could hard code the % and work days into the formula like this
And this does work very well to get me my daily sales amount per month/wrkday
However I know sales will change the monthly allocation (still totals 1200) and HR could even have a change to the holiday schedule. So I want to utilize the table.
So my query brings in both tables, but they are not linked. And this is my formula.
I have a table with a field name compliance level which is filled with drop down list and having like this;
poor good excellent IR
Now what I want is if i select poor from list then in query it generate -10 in query field named analysis, same if select good then generate 10 and so on means i will assign numbers for each field...
One can select only one item like, poor at one record entry...
I have a database for taking orders for books, leaflets etc, what i want to do is this:
When I receive a delivery of stock I enter how many of each ‘Product’ I have received, I then want Access to allocate these to the various orders to make then ready for collection.
For example, if five people have all ordered 3 of ‘Product Guide’ and I only receive 15 then the first three to order are allocated three each.
Not got a clue how to do this, guessing I’ll need to code it?
We have a model at my job which shows every job code one can do (there are only about 25 of these jobs) For example, let's say one job is called "Trade Settlements" and it's been estimated that we spend about 1000 minutes a day doing this particular job across the entire floor.
Well, I want to come up with a way to allocate the minutes of this to certain hour blocks and determining whether our group is over/understaff given the results.
So let's say I want, 30% of it to be done from 9-10 am, 10% done over the next 4 hour time blocks, and 2-3 pm for the remaining 30%.
Thus, we'd get something something like 300, 100, 100, 100, 100, 300 minutes and 0's for other time blocks.
These percentages would be input fields so if anyone types in a percentage, they get # of minutes spent for that hour on that job. Ultimately we would add these numbers up with other jobs and be able to easily update from there for any job type we wanted.
I have been using a table with queries with no problems. Now the queries wont recognize the last two records of the table when doing a Count. there are no null or empty spaces. I am using the drop down access standard menu to place the "Count" command. Is there a solution to this problem ?
I have a very simple query on an accounts form to show a running transaction history.
Identifying from the TransactionID (shown for display purposes only - normally hidden) three or four postings make up one transaction.
Using TransactionID 10 as an example, I'd like to have a sum of total [Credit]-[Debit] and have the query display on one line (either at the top of £1,429, or at the bottom of £16,995) to identify this is in fact one transaction, having three posts.
Transaction 9 will have obviously have one total, as this is a single post.
11 the same as 10, by having one total Transaction Value either at the top of the row or bottom.
i want my data to have only 2 decimal places. So i change the property of the table to only allow 2 decimal places and i did the same to the report and they are still all over the place....for example a field would say 8.12233444 and another 1.17.....what do you think is the problem?
So an employee in this database can have many different positions. The tables are linked using an EmployeeID field.
I want to construct a query that will list each employee and the last job entered for them in the database. Right now my query simply returns all the positions held (where there are more than one)?
I've got stuck in preparation of this sales query. The primary sales table contains a mix of Canadian and the US detail invoice sales records. All sales records are in their native currencies The secondary lookup table contains daily US/CAN foreign exchange rates (FX).
I need to multiply every $US sales record (marked with U) with the FX rate in order to convert it to the Canadian currency. Unfortunately, this FX lookup table is missing over 50 daily rates in the last two years and as a result I cannot match them date-by-date with the sales table.
As a workaround, it is acceptable to use the previous FX rate in the table. The previous rate can be one or more days before the transaction occurred.
Attached is a sample database with the query that I've already built. The query contains two sample US records that are missing the FX rate on Jan 6. The FX rate of $1.0639 that needs to be applied to it should come from Jan 3rd entry.

I have this table that records sales events for properties, with multiple sales records for some parcels. Each parcel has unique field: MapTaxlot. I want to create a select query or make table query that shows only the most recent sale event for each parcel. Instrument_Date is the date field for the sales records.
I am using a software drawing program that intelligently link information from a drawing to a database and vice versa. I have many tables and queries that I have created over time that enable auto populating of tables, creation of tables and so on. All of which enable me with tabular documents for ordering purposes.
The problem I currently have is: - I want to create a table that looks at an existing table, analysis various fields for duplicate information and then adds one record to a new table. This is to enable me to create a spares list based on the entire list.
I have a full valve list with various items, some duplicates some not. I am required to produce a spares list that considers only one of each type.
(1) a query that returns the latest record (newest) in a table called 'Invoices' and then
(2) places this value in a form called 'FrmInputInvoices' as the default value when the form opens. Newest record is by Autonumber and the table defaults this to top of table as views newest down to oldest.
Re (1) Query is called 'QInvoices'; the values I want to return in my query is ID (my autonumber) and Invoice_No . Must be a simple answer to put in the criteria, but I can't find this.
Re(2) What code do I use in my Form field named 'Invoice_No when the curser defaults there on opening?
I am trying to open a form with some records taken from one table, then alter couple of data in it and after that most importantly to append current records into a different table. The reason I need to append is that I need to keep track on every occurrence on same fields.
I have a table with multiple fields and each record in the table may not have data for all fields. I need to write a query that will pull only the fields that are populated for each record from the table.
