I had a text box in a contacts DB form for the State field (Named txtState). It worked fine. I decided to replace it with a combo box. Now not only will it not display the existing values, but to rub salt in the wound it won't allow me to select from the drop down list. The error message that says that the field is too small for the value. I tried changing each of the yes/no properties one at a time but none of them change the outcome.
I have a query in design view that consists of two calculated fields at the moment. One of the calculated fields is supposed to add one year onto a value from another date/time field called "Last_Date."
The expression I've written in the "Field:" box in Query design view is
Expr 2: DateAdd('yyyy',1,[Last_Date])
When I try to run the Query it doesn't work! Access just prompts me to enter a parameter value for Last_Date.
I have a database used to manage teaching assignments (which kid is assigned to which teacher so to speak). I have this relationship defined through three tables, a teacher table, a student table, both with unique ID's. The third table is used to define the assignment. Also, the kid table has an extra GroupID. The group ID is what is used to define. So in the definition table, Teacher 1 is assigned to Group 1, and so on (though their may be 20 kids in group 1). When a new teacher is added to the teacher table, I need it to add it to the corresponding field in the definition table. The groupID is in the table as an Autonumber so that will populate automatically.
I need to appendTeacherID to tblassignment (TeacherassignmentID) and have only one occurrence of the TeacherID. So, if I have teachers 1-8 listed, each assigned to a group# in the tblassignment, and I add Teacher 9, I need it to add Teacher 9's unique ID to the TeacherassignmentID field without adding 1-8 again. I can't figure out how to "check" for ID's 1-9 and add only those I've added to the teacher list that aren't already assigned to a group.
I've tried a few different SQL queries append/select queries but nothing seems to do what I need it to do....
My Combo Box is tied to a table with many entries. When I click on it to display the table values it takes several seconds to display. Is there any way I can "pre-load" the Combo Box (such as on form load, etc.) so when I click on it it displays more quickly? Or is there another way to speed it up?
I'm trying to sort and filter a continuous form. I want to sort by descending and ascending, but I also want to have a combo box for filtering. For example, there a combo box for sorting with Value List as the RowSourceType, the list would be "Ascending" and "Descending", and there should be another combo box to choose the field to be sorted with RowSourceType as Field List from a query.
My field names are: "LastName", "FirstName", "MiddleName". But I want them to appear as "Last Name:, "First Name", "Middle Name". I want to be able to change the display of the field names within my combo box which should come from my query. How is that possible? I already tried to put caption in the properties but it didn't work.
i made a query to display students results after an exam. there are 12 subjects but a student chooses 8 from that. After an exam, the results are keyed in and a result slip is printed later. The problem is that the result slip displays all subjects including those not done by the student. I typed a criteria >0 in one of the fields and no records appeared. Is there a way that i can use to display only the subjects chosen and marks attained by a student and leave out the rest?
I have a combo box that I want to display titles of discussion that fall within a date range. I set up the query as such;
SELECT DISTINCT Discussions.Discussion_Title, Discussions.Discussion_Date FROM Discussions WHERE (((Discussions.Discussion_Date) Between ([forms]![DiscussionsForm2]![txtStartDate]) And ([forms]![DiscussionsForm2]![txtEndDate]))) ORDER BY Discussions.Discussion_Title;
It works but not quite the way I want it too. I would like the combobox to display only unique titles but right now it shows the same title if it was used on another date. I guess its showing distinct titles and dates, while I want it to display just distinct titles.
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product Type Customer Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
I am trying to write a query that gets all the telephone hours from a worker done under supervision in a town (qry_svhoursbytown). I have a table that has the workers details, including town (Crisis_support_workers), then another table that has what hours each worker has done (Supervision_Hours). The town is selected from a combo box on the form (frmSearch), under the heading �total hours by location�.
I try and select Bathurst then press recalculate results and in the text box next to supervision hours, it says 66, but if you look in the Supervision_Hours table, there is only 11 hours for the workers that are in Bathurst.
In the query, I have the sum total of the hours field in the Supervision_Hours table, the Town field from the Crisis_support_workers table with the total selected as Where and in that criteria I have [forms]![frmSearch]![ComboTown], then I just have the town field displayed.
What do I need to change to get it to sum correctly?
I have attached the database below so people can take a look.
I am pretty new to access, I will get right to it.
I am scoring rating scales. I want to be able to enter just the responses from a person, say on 80 questions (preferably into a form), where all the answers are 0 to 3 and have Access add the questions into the right groups to calculate all the sub-scores of the rating scale. For example, Scale A may consist of Questions 1, 6, 15, 29, 35, and 70 I need access to add those up and save them so I can use them in a report. I also need access to add the frequency of certain questions that were responded to with the answer 3. I have gotten Access to calculate the scores in a form by adding extra variables to the form, erasing the variable name out of the white box and putting in the syntax =[Q1]+[Q6]+[Q15], etc. in place of a variable name but it just sits there on the form and doesn't store it anywhere. Thanks
I've been racking my brain the last couple of days trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and I believe I've reached the end of my rope. I have a feeling that this isn't very difficult to a more savvy Access person, but I am at a loss.
Here's the situation. I have received a fairly large DB containing CCTV data for sanitary sewers. There are primarily two tables I'm dealing with, one lists a number (auto-number) for each pipe that was televised. Simple enough. The other uses this legacy number to show all deformities or service leads within a particular length of pipe. For example, for run X, there may be 7 rows in the table with X as the ID, one for each service lead along that length of pipe (I hope this is making sense :()
Ultimately, we need to tie this database into our GIS theme. To do this, I will need to add to the PipeID number from our GIS theme to the access table. What I've done so far is to create a new table in the DB with the number for each pipe televised, and I've manually added the corresponding PipeID number from the GIS in the second column. What I'm hoping to do is add a new column to my occurrence table so that for each occurrence X, I can add the GIS PipeID number. Perhaps this would make more sense:
I've gone ahead and created the relationship between the newly created table and the existing table based on that auto-number field, and I've made the new PipeID column a combo box. This shows all of my PipeID numbers, which is a good thing. I'm hoping there's a way for it to automatically recognize the auto-number field and populate the PipeID field accordingly.
Have you ever known what you want to say, but not quite understood how to say it? That's kind of how I feel about this question, and I do apologize if I've made no sense. But if I have, and anyone has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated.
I have a combo box which gets its values from sql server using a query which is called "get_query_reason", which works fine. Now I want to update combo box values based on a user selection, st string. Have written the code, but does not work:
Dim qDef As QueryDef Dim Query As String Dim st As String Dim rs As Recordset st = "SOV" Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_query_reason")
I am having an issue with duplicates in my table. I have a table, called "Part Mods", that has about 12 fields in it. the first 2 of them are "Mod" and "Part Number". I have a form where someone can insert data into this table and what i want is for them to NOT be able to insert a record with the same Mod/Part Number combination of an already existing record. I have "indexed" turned on but I am pretty sure that is for every field.
My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
productId ( which is filtered from combo boxes on main form) . productId contains two columns 1 bound column(id) ( hidden with width 0 ) 2 column (desription) ( shown with width 2 )
Now after entering the data when i come back to the form again . It hides the data from the productId field on subform , because data in combo box (on main form) doesn't match. Although the row is showing up , only the text in field (productId) is hidden.
Now when i change data in combo box on main form to match the ProductId , then the productId field text shows again. after changing combo box it hides . What i need is the existing data should not hide when i change the combo box selection.
see pic 1 where product matches and pic 2 where not. please note i am using master child relationship on the form/subform.
I am trying to open an Access database which was created a few years ago... When I open it to edit one of the forms I fail to see the forms etc that are in there.
Is there a hot key you hold down when opening the database to be able to open Access in full edit mode showing all forms queries etc
Hi am a forensics student taking a course in Database management and we use microsoft access 2003. I opened an assignment already started in 03 format, I am now running access 2007 and I need to make modifications to a previous query but I can't find the query table. how do I view my pre made queries on the 2007 version?
I have several comboboxes (6) on my form.How to populate these comboboxes with values depending on selected value in previous combobox.
Example.Lets say that you select value "Audi" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "A4","A6","TT" etc. and if you selected "BMW" in combobox 1, then available values in combobox 2 should be "3-series", "5-series" etc...
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006 and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
Hi, I am in need of help to sort out some records. I have tow existing queries I would like to combine and get one final set of records out of. They go like this:
Query 1. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 x x (check boxes) Y ACD 2 x x
Query 2. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 8/8/05 9/8/05 10/8/05 (query performs Y ACD 2 8/8/05 9/8/05 10/8/05 calculations)
What I am looking to retrive through the third query is this:
Query 3. (unique #) Lot Protocol Sample # 1 mth 2 mth 3 mth X ABC 1 8/8/05 9/8/05 Y ACD 2 8/8/05 10/8/05
Where the third query only shows the calculated dates when the check box is true. I have tried to go through the expression builder, but to no avail. I either get all records, like query 2 or I get nothing reported. I am not sure how to limit the records based on the check boxes.
I would like to set up rules/constraints such that the value selected in combo box A determines the available values in combo box B. For example, "Combo box A" is bound to the [PartnerType] field and "Combo box B" is bound to the [PartnerRole] field. Let's say that the two choices in Combo Box A are "LLC", "LP", and "Corporation". There are 5 possible choices in Combo Box B: "X", "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U". If a user selects "LP" in Combo Box A, I would like Combo Box B to only show choices "X" and "Y". And if a user selects "LLC", only choices "Y", "Z", "Q", and "U".
Similarly, I would like to set this up so that Combo Box B is not initially visible--it becomes visible when a user selects "LLC" or "LP". If a user selected "Corporation", Combo Box B would remain hidden.
I am trying to add a new email field to my existing database of 900 employees. I have imported an excel worksheet of email addresses into a new table that has lastname, firstname, employee#, email. The primary key on the new table is email. The primary key on the employee table is employee#, and there is a new field titled email.
The email field in both tables are text fields. In running an append query, it either adds 900 to 27000 additional fields of email only or it says cannot complete because of key code violations. On the join properties I have clicked on #3 all records from source to only equal fields of destination.
Hi guys, I need urgent help on a simple question. I hope you will be able to help me. I have a table CustomerMaster which stores customer number and name. (Customermaster) I have another table which stores the product details for customer. (customerProduct) I have another table which shall store order details. (CustomerOrders) On the form, the user selects a customernumber, the system then displays the customer name. The user then picks up the product ordered by customer (picked from combo box). On the combobox on recordsource I have given a select query which fetches the records matching the customer selected from table Now I want the Product Price, tax and duty of the product to be displayed for the selected product. Somehow, I have to again make that as a combobox and then select the price (although there is only one record... Can anyone tell me how to do this? Regards K
Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.
I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.
example: Permit-SC might have unique record 532442 An image file would be name 532442.
If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.
I'm trying to write a query that will validate a field in an existing table. I want the query to show where any of the 412,000 records fail this strict validation:
AAnnnnnnA
...where A is any letter A-Z and n is a digit 0-9
Clearly I can use the LEN function to check for invalid lengths (anything <>9), but I'm looking for a simple neat expression I can use that will check the format. Does an existing function already exist before I resort to writing my own function in VBA (again)?
I am attempting to normalize an existing database. I've created the table structures necessary and now I'm designing a query that will update the new field in my primary table: "LabelBaseProduct" with the primary key from my new table: "tblBaseProduct" where the old field from my primary table: "tblLabels.BaseProduct" equals the description field from my new table: "tblBaseProduct.BaseProductDesc".
A visual of my tables:
tblLabels (Main table) - LabelID - BaseProduct (old field with text data) - LabelBaseProduct (new field, needs to be updated with PK from tblBaseProduct)
tblBaseProduct (new table) - BaseProductID (PK and FK to tblLabels) - BaseProductDesc (Field that should be matched to tblLabels.BaseProduct)
I tried to design a query using design view of the query design and this is what I have:
Code:
UPDATE tblLabels, tblBaseProduct SET tblLabels.LabelBaseProduct = [baseProductID] WHERE (((tblLabels.BaseProduct)=[tblBaseProduct].[BaseProductDesc]));
When I attemted to run the query it told me that it was going to updated over a million records. I only have just short of 2k records in my database.
