I am trying to create a form to enter data into a table that I ultimately will create a report from. I have created a blank table with the columns I need. I created an append query to add the new records and an update query and a macro to run them on click of a button. It all runs but it doesn't append anything to the table. What am I doing wrong?
View RepliesI have a query called "Stock" containing field like (Item, Description, product_qty)
Another is a table called "Sales" with fields like (Sales_ID, Item, Sales_description, sales_Qty, date_Of_Sale) Item field on sales is a foreign key.
Now what i want is how can i make when the user enters new record, in field "Sales_Qty" the data entered here to be less than product_Qty.
NB; this is because you can not sell more than what you have.
I'm creating a Dating Database on MS access, Now I've been given the attributes for all the tables. They are five (Client, Hobby, Meeting, ClientHobby, ClientMeeting)
Now I'm needed to create a form which allows me to enter the client data + at least two interests and their age calculated from their DOB. Seeing as I was only asked to put DOB in the actual Client table, I thought I'd create an Age query and then make that form out of the Age Query. (I already successfully managed to get the Age out of DOB in that query in a field of its own)
However, how can I add the hobbies field to that age query so I can finally create the form that I am required to do?
Second, I am to create a query which will be used for ‘matching’ clients. The criteria that you will use are: gender, age (using a range e.g. 20-25), interests/hobbies and city/town, this query ill be used to create a report which lists all the clients who match the entered criteria. How am I to do that?
In MS Access form, how can I create my own message if the user enter a value that not match with the data type of a field in underlying table? Thanks a lot!

I have a table that is linked into access 2003. This table is updated by personnel in another location and I have to run a weekly report on engines that are below a certain performance level.
The column heading is MGT Margin and I have to list all of the engines that are below 20 degrees.
Can I run a query that looks at this table and produces a report of all the engines that are below 20 degrees?
I currently have to cut and paste each engine from the updated spread sheet every week onto a separate spread sheet and import that into access. If a query can be used to do what I am after I can use similar principles in other reports I have to run.
Hello.
I am new to Access. (2003)
I have a make couple of Forms and couple of tables.
My problem is how to I connect the form to the table, so it will store entered data from the form to the table.
There are about 2-4 places where the user can enter data into the Form and it should be stored to a table.
I made 5 forms and 5 tables, where the user fills out the first form and clicks next and next form opens and so on.
If possibly I would like to skip all the coding that can be used.
I have several queries that I'd like to consolidate into one report. Any ideas? I tried selecting fields from multiple queries, but I got an error message.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database in MS SQL. The users connect to database via MS ACCES ADP applications.
Some tables (like a TV Station or Names of employees) in the database have fields that serve as the flags. If the flag has a value of one, then such a record is used in the query to create a report.
Because there are multiple users of the database, frequently happens that flags overlap. One user sets the flag to one, and second sets the flag to zero. Therefore, it often happens that the received report incorrect.
I have a list (table) that I've created in sharepoint 2010.I link to the sharepoint table with Access 2010 to update mass amounts of items at once. Some of the queries have no problem updating the sharepoint items, but other queries require me to "Enter Paramater Value."
In this particular queries; I'm trying to populate field A with dates from field B, when field A is null.
---------------------
UPDATE Table 1 SET Table.[FieldA] = [FieldB]
WHERE (((Table 1.[FieldA]) Is Null));
--------------------
When I run the above, I receive the "Enter Parameter Value" input box.All records have Field B populated (it's actually the created date.)
The goal is for field A to be populated with the values in Field B, without the query asking for parameters.
Note; I can go in each individual record and update them via access, one at a time. But it's the running of the update query that failing.
Edit: Removed spaces in table and field names.
I have table which store set of number
table: parameter
field: Branch

I want to use enter query criteria so that it can filter all record from parameter table, How can I do? or any VBA code can serve same purpose?
I'm trying to create a report that contains data from a "main" form and a subform. However, I can't get the main form data to populate no matter what I try. I've been through all sorts of queries and just can't get it to work. The main form and subform are both separate tables, and there are no redundant fields.
Basically, the main form is an inventory of assets, and the subform is designed as a way to submit trouble tickets when one of those assets requires maintenance or repair.
I have a report that groups by a project name and then a repeating field to list all associated detail having to do with the project. Then the projects loop to the next.Each project row is the same height as the combined detail rows. And to be able to print guidelines just as you would with a word table.
+-------+-----------------+---------+
| Project |.-detail row 1......| Open.....|

I'm thinking I need to do it with vba putting each into a variable then set the field to be the value of the variable. but i'm also not sure how to do that as it repeats like that.
Hi All,
I have a database with two memo fields. Both have exactly the same properties in table design view.
One field is called 'notes' and when I want a new line I just have to hit ENTER. Result is as wanted.
The other field is called 'responses' and when I hit ENTER, the cursor jumps to the next field (as if these were a text rather than a memo field). it does not start a fresh line. However, this field has not length restriction; I can copy and paste any number of lines into it. But I must not hit ENTER, and I cannot produce a line break.
As I said above, both fields appear to have exactly the same properties in Design View. Why then do they behave differently?
What's wrong? What have I overlooked?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can create a form which asks for the name or lastname of the customer and does a search throuout the database and brings up all that customers informtation. And if their is more than one thats are the same you can switch through them untill you find the right one.
Thank you
I am trying to create a query which will return records which are from a specific month of the previous year...
To better explain:
If I have sales from 2013 and 2014 in Jan, I want a query which will show me the results from Jan in 2013 only... I'm just unsure on how to make a query do this and it's probably really simple.
But then in 2015 I will want it to show results from 2014 without having to change the expression or criteria.
I'm creating a simple database to document our supplier's contact information, addresses etc. However, when I create a combo box on the form and try to enter a record not on the list it gives the message "The Text You Entered Isn't an Item in the List".
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dilemma. I need my app to print out legally binding property schedules for insurance purposes. A property can have any number of schedules created during a year according to how many changes are made.
My instinct is to use a set of nested queries to generate the reports and then save them as snapshots should they need to be referred to later (they will!!).
However I have just been wondering if I should create a new table that gets populated with the full data for each property schedule when one is printed so that there is a definitive and tangible record for each schedule.
The latter seems like not good practice within Access as I know it but I have this niggling hunch that it might be the right approach for this app. On the lazier note it would also make re-creation or subsequent investigation very much easier than having a whole sequence of horribly dynamic queries!
Does anyone have anything similar (sure someone does) and what did they do?
Thanks for any input
Hi there :)
I'm not sure if I've picked the right forum topic for this... It's not a straightforward table question, and I think the only way I can do what I need is with a query of some sort. Apologies if it should have gone in 'Tables'...
The situation is: I'm creating a database (using Access 2003) in which our secretaries can enter exam marks for students. The difficulty is that there are ten papers (exams), each student's exam is marked by at least two examiners and there are at least 6 examiners per paper. Every examiner also marks more than one paper, but doesn't mark all papers.
So, I've got a table with all of the examiners and the papers they're marking and I've got a table with all the students and the papers they're taking. Because we have to enter the marks in such a way that we know both which mark an examiner gave and (obviously) which mark a student received (e.g. so we can look at statistics for each examiner), I thought the best way to do this would be to run a query that created a new table per paper in which the field names would be: Student_ID, <name of examiner 1 for the paper>, <name of examiner 2 for the paper>, <name of examiner 3 for the paper>, etc until the end of the list of examiners for that paper. The student's number would populate the Student_ID field and then the secretaries would enter each examiner's mark in their named field. Like this:
| Student_ID | A.N. Other | J. Blogs | J.Q. Public | Agreed_Mark |
1234A 72 74 73
2345B 65 68 67
3456C 71 73 72
4567D 52 51 52
Listing the name of every examiner (including those who aren't marking that particular paper) isn't an option (and would have to be hard coded into a table in any case, as far as I'm aware, either in a query or in a table design. This is something I'm loathe to do). Ideally, the secretary would be able to press a button on a form and have all the mark entry tables for all the papers created automagically.
The examiners for the different papers change every year, and not every academic marks exams every year, so this data will not remain static. Hard coding a table with examiner names would make more work for the secretaries. (I want to avoid this as all mark entering for all students is done in a single day. This means over 600 students at 3 marks per student [mark 1, mark 2, and final agreed mark] with time to contact examiners with questions... and only 2 secretaries, each of whom deals with a different section of students).
Because of the nature of the marking, it would also make quite a lot of work for the secretaries if we had to cross reference a generic Examiner_1 field with a different examiner for each paper, so the field name really must be the examiner's actual name.
Can anyone help me? I'm happy to do it with either VB or SQL; I'm not a programmer, but I can usually work out what code does even if I can't write it myself. I should be able to adapt anything presented as long as it's complete and doesn't assume that I know the basics. :) I've also got two reference books to hand: _Microsoft Access 2003 Forms, Reports and Queries_ by Paul McFedries and _How to Do Everything with Microsoft Office Access 2003_ by Virginia Anderson.
Thanks very much for your time. :)

I have a text file linked to this database, and I'm trying to create a Query that will pull all of the data out of this text file, and add a rank if two of the values match in multipe records.So in other words, when multiple records have the same [JOBNBR] , I want to evaluate the [TIMESTAMP] value to see if it is the smallest one, and so on.I don't want to create multiple queries to do this, is there any way to do this? Here's what I have:
Code:
DDR: (Select count(*) from tblMyDataImport Where [tblMyDataImport].[TIMESTAMP] < [TIMESTAMP] AND [tblMyDataImport].[JOBNBR]=[JOBNBR] )
I need to create a query that strings data horizontally that corresponds to the primary key.
Example of what I am looking for
Fields:
Part_No,
Mfg_No,
Mfg_Name
Query Columns: Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No: Mfg_Name)
Also if the part_no (primary key) has multiple values I need the data to string horizontally like this:
Part_No, Mfg_Info (Mfg_No1: Mfg_Name1),
Mfg_Info (Mfg_No2: Mfg_Name2).......
This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.
I am trying to create an expression to pull data from 2011 to present date. I need the data for 2011 to only reflect 1/1/11 through 10/7/11 (today's date in 2011). I need the same for 2012 and 2013.
I don't want to have to enter dates each time I run this, therefore, a formula would be preferred rather than hard numbers.
How do I create a daily table from monthly data? I have a monthly table and want to split it into a daily table by dividing each monthly value by the number of days in that month. I need this so I can compare the new daily values to other daily values.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Date field in the format X/XX/2012 for all my records.
I want to create a field that labels each record according to its quarter. So if a date is 3/29/2012, I'd want the corresponding field entry to be: Q1 2012. If it's 3/29/2013, I'd want it to be: Q1 2013, etc.
I guess I would run an update query, but I don't know how to build the proper expression in order to update my table with a new field.
I have figured out how to create a quarter #, but I actually need output in the format mentioned above.
