Is there a way to have Access send an alert message when a particular date is getting close? I have a database that tracks automatic step increases to pay and when the dates occur. I would like to create a pop up that could alert me when a date is getting close so that I can inform the budget person that a certain employee will be getting a bump in their pay starting on a particular date? Is that possible in 2010?
View RepliesI am hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure this one out! I have a database I just created which houses approximately data on about 500 physicians/practitioners - from their personal info to information regarding their licensures, liability coverage, and DEA. In order for us to be compliant with administration and government criteria we have to monitor expirations of their license, liability, DEA, and other things. We do this by sending letters/e-mails out 30 days in advance of expiration dates (which is a field in my database). What would really be great if when I bring up my database it would automatically give me a pop-up saying these licensures are expiring in 30 days and send out reminders. I am a rather new user to Access but I do recall a few years ago hearing something about databases that have crystal reports??? I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
I do have parameter queries set up from date to date but it sure would be impressive if I could get it to do the above. Or maybe another way to do this. Any suggestions????????? CMElady in :confused: distress!!!
Thanks.
I have an Access database keeping track of the number of cars registered under the company. The cars have details like type, make, license plate number, road permit dates, etc.
I would like to get alerts 3 days before the expiry date of the road permit. which is the best way to go about it?
Thanx in advance
Hi
I am trying to create an alert function so that when a user open up a form and displays a record, it will also display any alerts that have been created for that record. e.g. missed payments etc.
I have created a table to store the alert data along with the job number to which the alert relates so in essence I can have more that one alert per job record. I amtrying get one of the alerts to display ok using the following code
alerts = DLookup("[Job _Number]", "Alerts", "[Job _Number]='" & Me.Job_Number & "'" And "[Start_Date]" >= Date)
You will see that I am trying to only display alerts that are within the valid date range (I have not yet included [End_Date] as I cannot get the code above to work.
Can anyone help me correct this code please?
The other thing is that because I am using a dlookup, I am assuming it will only display the first alert it finds in the table and that's it? If so, how do it get it to display all 'active' alerts with a matching job number. By active I mean where the Start date is >= Date() and End date is <= Date()
I would really appreciate any help on this..
Thank you all for reading.
I have a table with tasks in which are allocated to specific staff members. The start date of the task is currently inputted by the user and then an estimated time frame is inputted which automatically enters the planned end date.
When a task is complete a Yes/No box is ticked so that these tasks don't show up on the current list anymore.
I wondered if it is possible, for the second task allocated to a certain person to have the start date automatically inputted depending on the planned end date of the precious task.
So if the planned end date was 12/06/2015 then the start date of the next would be 12/06/2015 and so on.
I am trying to create a form that creates an automatic identifier with a value one greater than the previous identifier. I was able to create something that updates in batches of two: That is, I end up with identifiers that go 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, etc. How do I get it to create consecutive identifiers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)?

I have a table called MiscORders where all the orders are tracked. There is an ID, order number , other fields and ParentorderID fields in it. Whenever an order is modified they create a new order with ordernumber and have the previous order number as the parent. The next time it is amended or closed another order is created with the parent order attached. Here is some sample data
Order ID OrderNum Parent order id
1 MISC 2013-10
2 MISC 2013-10A MISC 2013-10
3 MISC 2013-10B MISC 2013-10
Now I am creating a query that shows the lifecycle of the order
MISC 2013-10 Issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10A issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10B issue and deadline date.I tried to create a query using self joins to the same table. SQL is attached
SELECT MISCORDER.OrderNum, MISCORDER.[Date Issued], MISCORDER.[Deadline Date], MISCORDER_1.OrderNum

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been running 5 reports to gather company information. I then take the data from these 5 reports and manually load them into an Excel spreadsheet to calculate a grand total. I would like to be able to run a query or report within my database to get the same information. I have attached a copy of my spreadsheet for review.
Could someone please review this spreadsheet and help me design an easier method of calculating a grand total.
I'm having trouble creating a query to give me a count of all the males with a certain ethnicity and females with a certain ethnicity. I have a table that is setup for those two categories. It has the ethnicity and gender listed with check boxes (requested by the user) and when ever I run the query with the count total, for example : Caucasian Males, it returns all Caucasians whether male or female. I've tried a few different ways to get this done, but with no success.
Here is a screenshot of my table :
I have two tables that look like this:
Table 1
LOCATION NUMBER , SIZE
1.12 ,100
1.13 ,100
1.14, 12
1.15, 12
1.16 ,150
1.17 ,150
1.18 ,100
Table 2
ITEM , SIZE
A , 12
B , 12
C ,100
D ,12
E ,100
F ,100
G , 150
I would like to do a query that Joins the "Size" in each table, and then matches an "Item" to a "Location". However, because of how a normal join works, I cannot seem to figure out how to limit the "Location" field from producing duplicates in the match.
I only want to have 1 location for every 1 Item.
I have played with this problem for 3 days and have come close but not quite solved it. My problem, I have several drivers delivering several orders, the orders are named 101, 102 and so on lets say to 150. Due to locations of the drivers, some deliver more orders then others. I want to be able to create a report that looks like
"Driver #1 101 - 106"
"Driver #2 107 - 110"
Driver 1 delivered 6 orders. Driver #2 delivered 4 orders and so on.
I have tried the 'count" which gives me the number of orders per driver but having trouble figure out the design of the calculation in the query.
I currently have a database that has the following tables:
t_Employees
t_Cost_Centers
t_Changes
The [t_Changes] tracks what cost centers the employee is in with a start date and end date:
Change_ID
Employee_ID
Cost_Center_ID
Start_Date
End_Date
I want to run a query that will show a single line per employee, and different columns for each of the cost centers the employee was in. If the employee was in 3 different cost centers, the query would have 4 columns (1 for the employee, 1 for the first cost center, 1 for the second cost center, 3 for third cost center).
I saw another thread to linked to a concatenate example by Allen Browne, but that places multiple values in a single cell. I want different columns per cost center.
I am writing a small program for my sons school for there athletics day. We want to register all the students on a data basis. I have a form where you capture all the child's information and then tick box for each event that there will be for the day. So we will only tick the events that the specific child will participate in. I design the table to just import the information from each school from a excel spread sheet directly into the table. What my goal is to print report for each event that will only show the child's names that has register for that specific event and all the different age groups separate. I am stuck at the query and can't seem to get my mind around how to define the query.
View 2 Replies View Relatedway to merge various fields from a table into just one using a query.The purpose will be for easier copying and pasting in to an email.So we have a table to stores information such as Site Contact, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, Postcode etc.
I want to be able to run a query that will put the address in to just one box, either in the query or on a report then it's much easier to just highlight the full address and copy and paste it into an email. Rather than copying each field individually.
Tried to find things but being a mix of a couple of different actions havn't been able to actually find it
So basically I found a awesome form somewhere that builds the SQL query based on all the users selections.
When you hit the create button it will save the query and update the sub data sheet below with your query results.
From here the part I'm lost on is getting the TOP x number of records and moving them to a new table, I wanted it to work on the 2 drop down boxes that are on the form. select your values and hit the button.
I'd imagine it would be a sub query that I'd use for the top x like I have in the past but I just can't seem to get it to work
Quick steps
1. create your query
2. check your data in the sub datasheet
3. decide the number of records to move to the new table
4. select the name
5. hit the button
This would copy the ban, xcv & dfs fields from the importeddata table to the moverecordshere table & also update persname in the moverecordshere table with the name selected in the form.
Sample db attached ....
I have just upgraded from Access 2003 to 2010. Now I'm trying to relearn some of the small things I used to be able to. In 2003, I could just have a table highlighted and select "Insert, Query". It would then open a query design with that table. Is this possible to do this in 2010? Or do you have to open query design then add the table manually?

I am hoping to create a field name in a query that will change every month. Right now the filed name is qryTechQuintileMonth-7.am_quintile. this designates that the data is for October 2012. There are 6 other fields named similarly for Nov 2012 through April 2013.
Is there a way to name these fields with the proper month-year (mmm-yy) so they automatically update each month?
I have a table (let's call it "tableA) with about 7 fields. One of the fields contains information that I need to do a query on so that I may find specific payees, for example:
The field is called "Payee" and in that field for each record, the information could be "At&T", "A T and T" or "Abercrombie & Fi", but there is also other information in that field along with At&T, etc., so the field for a record may look like this:
A T AND T MOBILI A T AND T MOBILI 10 90034 Bill Pay
or
ABERCROMBIE & FI 3042 PP 10 9111 DIRECT
Is there a way to set up another table (let's call it tableB) to have all the Payees names (such as AT&T or whatever) in it and by the push of a button (maybe macro), have a query go out and find all matches from tableB in tablea?
So, basically have the query look in tableA and find all the matches from TableB. Please understand that tableA could have records that contain the same name, but spelled a number of different ways, for example, AT&T or A T and T or ATandT or ATT. Again these names may or may not be embedded in with other information in a field.
Or is there a way that an Access query can look into an external list and find the records, example:
Have a text (file) list with all the names (separated by a comma or space - AT&T, AT & T, Amercrombie and FI, Abercom&Fitch, etc. Now have a query go to that list and find all records that match in my tableA?
Hi,
When you use the wizard to create a form and a subform in A2003, the wizard automatically creates a query for the subform; however, the wizard doesn't seem to create a query for the parent form.
My question is:
Is the parent form pulling data directly from table?

I have developed a database, which holds the information about different policies we use in the organisation. There are people responsible for reviewing and updating these policies by a dead line. All the information is tored in the main regarding each policy and person responsible against it.
Is it possible to send a notification to the person responsible saying that this is the reminder or is is possible to fire a report to this person with detials of outstanding policies he/she is responsible for.
I have 3 select queries which Im trying to output to a combo - Ive tried a UNION query but I get an error
ODBC-- call failed ODBC Driver SQLBase.....
Firstly is do the results need to match within a union query? I mean they have no relationship what so ever Im just trying to populate this combo with the same results.
Secondly is there a better way to do it? 2 of the select queries query a linked SQL table and the third is a local table. All of the select queries work on their own.
I am developing a database for our fleet of company vehicles. What I'd like to know is is it possible to set up some kind of alert where a dialog box appears (like the sort of thing in Outlook with reminders).
What I'd like is, for example, if a vehicle requires a service a pop up would appear, a couple of weeks before, when the database is opened to alert the user that it will be required soon.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
