Queries :: Creating Dynamic Copy Of Database
Jan 20, 2015
I have a relatively small data base.
There are a number of what I call reference tables. These are fairly static and in the main will not change.
There are a further half a dozen tables all linked together.
The system basically takes an enquiry which may lead to a repair taking place. The repair will have a number of jobs and each job may have parts replaced.
What I want to do is have an identical database which to begin with will have exact copies of all the reference tables. The remaining half a dozen tables initially will be empty but grow with time.
The user wants to be able to copy the completed repairs he selects over to the 2nd database (which is initially empty). As weeks go by he wants to select further completed jobs that have not already been copied over to the 2nd database. The 2nd database will be updated so I can't just copy over all completed repairs each time.
I had envisage him doing this by using a front end to the 2 databases and firstly selecting which of the completed jobs which haven't been copied over. This is a fairly straight forward query that will update a field on the repair table.
Once he has done this I was thinking that I could run a query that would pull all the rows from the 6 tables from database 1 and update the corresponding tables/rows on the 2nd database.
I don't actually know how to approach that. The process needs to be simple for the user. ie 1. select repairs to copy over 2. run something to copy them over.

I have MSAccess 2003 running on WindowsXP. I have multiple users sharing a single database. When more than one user opens the same database, a copy of the database is being created?? I don't know if this is a standard trait of Acccess or something else. Any explinations would be helpfull.
Thanks

I'm a access novice who is looking to create a database to store training records for permanent and agency staff, and contractors staff. I need the database to be able to produce reports on how many courses were trained over each month, and the total duration of the course completed (in hours).

I want to create a drop down list that is dependent on a control button. Drop down menu changes depending on the value entered in another field.
Example:
If ListBox1 = 1
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = a,b,c,d
If ListBox1 = 2
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = x,y,z
If ListBox1 = 3
Then ListBox2 drop down menu = l,m,n,o,p

Welcome,
i am making a database project for manufacturing purpose. I have made tables in MS Access and connected them with MySQL (ODBC). I have created data access pages for employee to access data to database. I have copied these page to my locale appache server and it works as a web page.
I could(employee) insert data from a web page to MySQL tables, but now I want to make some reports and templates(made in Access!) be accesible from web page for managers. Graphs made in access too.
I will look like this: User will log in on a web site, when he log in as a manager there will be available reports and graphs(data from MySQL) that I made in Access.
Data Access pages made in MS access <2007 work perfectly, can I make the same thing with reports, graphs, templates? I mean save them as a dynamic web page with links to databace?
Thanks for help.

Hello all,
I'm relatively new to Access programming, so I am mostly at a loss as to what methods, whether by query or VBA code, to do this. I am building a patient log for medical interns, so that the individual entries would include information of an individual visit to a patient. Part of this would include a function where I could, at one click, create a new record for the specific patient with fields such as patient ID, name, etc already filled in, with the values coming from the record that was open at the time, a sort of "dynamic default" value. I still want to be able to create blank records with the default ">*" button at the bottom of the form, so ideally this would be a new function. Would this be a relatively straightforward task, and if so, could someone give me some basic pointers to it? I'm in the process of reading some VBA self-help books, but have yet to figure it out. I have some experience in C++, so if I were to take the VBA approach, all I would need are the variable names and how to call/access them, and I should be able to knock together a working draft that way. Thanks in advance to all.

I am using access 2010 and am trying to create a dynamic search like the one google uses, it will feature a drop down that will populate with results but when its not in use the drop down is not shown.
I'm looking to add a menu system to the form its self so that the users will be able to do certain functions. third image is what I'm looking to create with the menu bar at the top of the screen.

creating dynamic RibbonXML where statement will depend on user that is accessing access database. I created DynamicXML no problem and it changes context depending on user but my main problem is refreshing ribbon. I see that UsysRibbons tables changes fine but it's not being loaded. I have to restart access in order to this to take effect. I tried gobjRibbon.Invalidate method but it doesn't refresh ribbon for some reason... Here is my code:I created new module with name "Ribbon" and put this in there:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public gobjRibbon As IRibbonUI
Public Sub CallbackOnLoad(Ribbon As IRibbonUI)
' Callbackname in XML File "onLoad"
Set gobjRibbon = Ribbon
End Sub
and then in form that validates a user I put:
If (Not gobjRibbon Is Nothing) Then
gobjRibbon.Invalidate
End If

Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon

i have been trying to create an employee database to record:
1. Name , Address
2. Telephone
3. Date of birth
4. employee ID#
5. Emergency contact -name, address, telephone
6. Photograph
7. Other pertinent information related to employees
So far I have incorporated the contacts database forms into my new database but I am unable to link the forms into one form that will incorporate all the information needed. Is there an existing employee database that I may edit to suit my purposes?

Hi Guys!
How would I make a copy of my Database, but only copy the structure and not the data.
I know that you can do this with tables (Copy, Paste > Structure Only), but can you do it with the whole DB?
Cheers!

I have searched and have not been able to find anything on creating a read-only copy of a back end DB with VBA. I am creating backups of my back end file and would like to create a local read-only copy to use in the event that the regular back end is not available. The code I am using to create the backup is:
Code:
Public Function BackupBE()
'On Error GoTo BackupBE_Err
Dim sourceFile As String, destinationFile As String
Dim aFSO As Variant
Dim path As String, name As String

I am tasked with creating a scientific database of fish catches at various different sampling stations. I envisage the entry form having hierarchy levels, ie year, season, date, sample station, species caught, and then the specific associated data with each species (weight, abundance, length etc) will form each distinct record.
In each year there are 2 sampling seasons. In each sampling season there are up to 20 dates on which samples are taken. On each date there are up to 50 sample stations recorded. And at each station up to 20 species can be recorded.
In order to enter each species caught in a survey, the end user will potentially have to fill the season box with an entry 40,000 times. For each season there will be 20,000 date entries to be made. For each date, 1,000 station code entries, and 20 species entries for each station. What I would like to happen is this.
When the end user is entering the data, he or she will be working through the hierarchy from the ground up. Ie., they will enter a particular species' data (abundance, weight, length etc) at a particular station on a particular date during a particular sampling season. The next entry will be a different species at the same station on the same date during the same season. I would like the duplicated information from the previous record to be copied across onto the new one so that all the end user has to do is enter the species name, abundance weight and length data.
Once they have finished entering all the species data for that particular site, they can move onto the next site which they would fill in the data themselves for the station code. So, in the hierarchy, the first button would copy all the previous data except the species name and associated weight length abundance data. The next button would do the same, except leave the station code blank. The next button would leave the species name, station code and date blank. And so on up the hierarchy. The end user would be able to selectively choose which data is copied over by using these buttons, saving lots of potential extra work doing repetitive entries.

I am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?

I am building a database which tracks tasks assigned to employees. I want to have one of my forms displaying a view which shows at a glance which tasks are assigned to whom at what times of the day, with a click opening a task for editing. My current attempt is to create a crosstab query with the employees as the column headings ("dynamic crosstab" query) and a table of time values for the hours of the day providing the row headings, with the task as the value.
I then created a form based on the query with Datasheet view as the default view (apparently necessary to set properties/event handlers to query values. I got the idea from the Northwind sample database) However, the form fields do not update to reflect changes to the employee list and therefore the onClick handlers are not applied to newly added employees. What to do, besides for programmatically setting the event handlers?

i have a database that imports files with dynamic amounts of fields, runs querys on the data and outputs it to a speadsheet. The The problem is instead of making it run querys on each column, i have it running on them all collectively. Now i want to change it so a query is run on each column then output to its own spreadsheet. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've got a database that I need to import a vacation days table from an excel sheet. The biggest deal with it all is that the excel file & range it needs to search for the data is dynamic, actually I also need to be able to scan different sheets within the excel file.
Now, im not new to all this stuff, ive done all sorts of complicated excel manipulation in VBA as well as queries and custom processing, but I've been away from it all for roughly 8 mo. so im rusty.
If anyone has a suggestion about how i could go about loading the excel file (dynamically) and pulling information from it (i will be doing aggrigates like SUM & Count, however i can program these manually if need be.)
Thanks

I have several fields that have a drop down list. Say the Field is called "Age" and I have choices in the drop down menu as 1, 2, 3, and 4. How do I create a query that would accept input from the user to show 2 of the 4 or 1 of the 4 or all of the choices using one query that has checkboxes, and possibly using a form to do so. I have a form that has a list of all entries. Now I just need to make it able to filter based on user input.
Say I have checkboxes for 1, 2, 3, 4, and all choices. Can a list filter only what I check? Can I create a form that would have all the choices on it and just click a button that says "submit" and have it filter, or print the form. How do you get the checkboxes to filter when checked, but not when unchecked? Where does Access store the true/false, on/off, yes/no responces that come from the checkbox? Is there a variable that gets set to a 1 or a 0 based on the status of the box?

What I am wanting is to be able to build dynamic form content/elements based on entries on a table. This is for a gym membership system. What this form is going to be used for is to allow the front desk to scan a membership card which then performs a search on the database. Part of this search is going to be on a table that contains various add-on classes, tanning sessions, etc that a member can add beyond their base membership.
On the left side of the form, I will display a picture of the member and their name. What I am wanting to do on the right side of the form is to build a dynamic list of the add-on perks they are enrolled in.
I know I could hard program elements on the form to be visible or invisible, but that would be static and leave gaps when I have to turn things off b/c that member isn't enrolled in that class, etc.
Is this even possible with Access and VBA? I know I could do this sort of thing with a webpage using PHP, PERL or whatever. I don't know the limits of Access Forms and VBA.

Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?
I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.
