I am working on a school project called employee skills. I have a table of skills, each has a check box, which if checked is true. I am trying to write a query that will find who has a specific skill.
View RepliesI need to find whether a memo field contains a specific word. I know how to find whether it contains a specific string.
Let's say I am looking for the word "run." I would not want a positive result when searching "I don't like gerunds," but I WOULD want to find the records with "I know how to 'run' a search."
So I am looking for WORDS, not matching strings.
I am perfectly willing to use a user-defined function, to put involved processing into the query, such as
Code:
...
WHERE FieldHasWord("run", memoField) = True
AND ...
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.
how to read a specific line in a CSV file (using VBA), to see if the phrase "There are no records available." is present.
If it is present, then I'm going to do a debug.print stating that there are no records to load - and then the script will move on to the next file. If the phrase isn't present, then I'm going to upload the file to Access, parse the information, and then upload it to a CRM. (I already have the latter portion of the code up and running....I just need to account for the first part, where I can determine if the file has data or not).
The structure of the file never changes. The first row is composed of eight column headers (Post Date, Card Number, Card Type, Auth Date, Batch Date, Reference Number, Reason, Amount) and (if) the phrase "There are no records available." is present, it will show up on the second row, in the first column (under Post Date).
I have a Access database of employees and I need to count how many worked for each organization in the company by month. I can't figure out how to break this problem down and solve it. I can do this ten ways from sunday in VBA, but I'm looking for an SQL solution.
My data looks like this (simplified) example...Table.jpg In this database, a process runs nightly and adds any new employees with the [CreatedOn] date. This value never changes. The [LastUpdate] field is updated to the time the nightly process executes as long as the employee is still at the company. So when an employee leaves, the last update field is no longer updated. So in my example data the employees in the 1st, 4th and 7th line no longer work for the company.
I've been trying to produce a query(s) with these results...Results.jpg I've tried several incarnations of various queries with subqueires to filter [CreateOn] and [LastUpdate] so that I can count the total employees in each organization at month end. None produce correct results.
My goal is to ultimately produce a chart that looks like this...Chart.jpg
i'm trying to create a query of all employees doesn't have any transaction for a certain range of date and will also shows the last transaction date they have.i have two databases one is the transaction file and the other is the user file.

I am slightly concerened that people seem to think that developing access solutions using access seem to be something of a joke job compared to doing something say of something of the sql server/oracle flavours - obviously this depends on what is needed etc but I often wonder whether its worth keep my access skills fresh and up to date. I always find that wherever i work there is a dear need to work smartly make customised tools which is where access, vba, and excel really tend to shine - but i also wonder what they are worth in the IT industry.
Any comments regarding the above would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there,
The recruitment database I have designed for work is okay in the main except for where I need to filter candidates depending on their skill sets. What I need to be able to do is filter candidates that possess ALL skills selected in a multiselect listbox...
Table structure runs as: Candidates (many) linked to Job Role (one) (because candidates can only have one job title (in theory anyway)
Candidates linked to Skills table via junction table (candidate having many skills / one skill belonging to many candidates blah blah)...I'm sure this set up is as normalised as I can get (I aint no expert tho)...
My solution so far (suggested by another forum) was 3 listboxes on a form that runs like...
ListBox 1 = Job Role (Manager, Team Leader, Clerk, etc - set to SINGLE SELECT because an employee can only have ONE job title (supposed to anyway LOL)...
ListBox2= Skills (Payroll,Audit,Taxation, etc - SET TO MULTISELECT because employees can have more than one skill)...
ListBox3 = Candidates (populated by making selections in ListBoxes 1 and 2)
It all works well but is VERY slow as I was told to use make table, append queries and quite a bit of VBA to make the WHERE clauses as SQL statements, etc
I've searched high and low all over the net and have found things that come close but I'm just not adept enough to work it out (I started Access late in life). I feel I need some kind of subquery that first of all finds all candidates that e.g. have ALL 3 skills selected in Listbox 2 (creating a recordset of one row per skill meaning each candidate is listed in the recordset for as many skills selected and then filtering again with a count function that only displays candidates with a count of 3 skills - this subquery would then be used to populate Listbox 3 -
Sorry if I've overcomplicated this but it seems such a simple thing to and I'm getting a lot of pressure at work having being trying to solve this for weeks...
Any help putting me in the right direction or if you know of any similar example databases that would help me learn more would be much appreciated

I am wondering if there is a quick way to find a database object (table, query, form, report) other than having to scroll through them in the database window.
E.g. I have many many queries and when I need to find one to make changes to it, it often takes me a while to find it when scrolling thru the queries in the database window.
Has anyone ever programmed anything whereby you can type in the object type and name and then it will be highlighted in the database window?
This would be a great time saver.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a table with various customer items, a current price and the date the price changed.
EXAMPLE DATA
CustID/ItemCode/DateChanged/Value
AAA 21 01/01/2004 £3.00
AAA 21 01/06/2005 £5.00
AAA 21 01/03/2005 £4.00
AAA 22 01/01/2005 £6.00
AAA 22 01/06/2005 £7.00
BBB 25 01/01/2005 £8.00
BBB 25 03/07/2005 £9.00
BBB 26 01/06/2005 £1.00
BBB 26 01/09/2005 £2.00
Note: Dates are in "dd/mm/yyyy" format. Also, not all data is in order in the table. It’s not how I would have designed it but that’s what I need to work with!
I would like to run a query that groups by custID & itemcode and also the most recent date for any price change. I would then like the query to display the relating price for the record it pulls out. (EG for custID 'AAA' and item 21, it would display the price of £5 as that is the value for the most recent price as of 01/06/2005)
I then want to link the custID & itemcode to another table that has sales in, to check that we are using the most recent price.
Is there a way I can do this via a query or do I need to put some code together?
Cheers

My problem area is highlighed (index and seek) which I receive an error stating "method or data member not found". Any help would be appreciated on how to finding a specific record.

I have many queries for separate types of income that when criteria is entered on the switchboard, a report is created for either a specific month or range of dates. This works fine. Now I need to create one report that shows all 7 types of income in one spot, but once again based on a specific month or range of dates. I have a query that produces the entire income for all dates, but can't get it narrowed down to the specific criteria.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi well as the title says i have a database with a LOT of tables, and i need to find the tables that contain a certain heading, eg reference 6, is there an easy way of doing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with 5 fields:
Build ID Process Product Product_De Operation_
What I am trying to accomplish is as follows:
Each Product can be in the table mulitiple times depending on how many Build ID's it has. So if Product 123456 has Build ID's G004, E818, N005, F813, D024, C879 it will show up one time each for each Build ID. What I want to query is unique Products that are for Build ID's D024 & C879 only and not for G004, E818, N005, & F813.
How can I accomplish this with a query. I am sure I am making this harder than it is but I sure need help.
Table Name: Admin
Field Name: userid, admin (Y/N), Password, ConPw, PasswordReset (Y/n), Createdby
Trying to run a vba to find and delete records that was "createdby" the current user. Enviorn("username")
This query returns a running asset balance for 60 months. Each month is 1 column.
1) I need to create a query based on those results that can cycle through each column and determine if it is NEGATIVE. Then if it is negative, I need to perform some math on it to determine how to get it back up to being positive.
2) I need to loop through X columns based on the assets lead time. Each lead time varies and I have a master table that contains it. So if the assets lead time is 3 months, I need it to move over 3 columns and return that value. If it is 6 months then I need it to return the value in the 6th column.
I have a custom form setup for 1up 1.5inch labels on the print server. We are printing these on Okidata Printers using an Epson driver.
I want to know how you can find the specific printersize number value for a form called "1_5upLabels" which is a custom form.
I am not looking to do this manually in the page setup for the report but to programmatically so that it's dynamic.
Is there a way I can loop through the forms for this printer and check for the form name?
I'm using a function to find all files/folders in a specific directory, then copy each one to a specific destination folder. I'm going to use this on a weekly basis to backup files on a computer. I would like to use the vbarchive in GetAttr/SetAttr so I only need to copy these if they have changed since last backup.
Something like:
If GetAttr(strFile) And vbArchive = 32 then
filecopy xxxx, xxxx
else
rs.movenext
As I understand it, a value of 32 indicates that the file has been modified since it was last backuped up (i.e. since the file attribute was "reset"). How do I "reset" the file attributes to clear the vbArchive?? I've read some google searches and the only thing I could find was the files were set to vbnormal however I'm concerned that this will erase program files that are vbReadOnly or VbHidden.
I'm new to Access but comfortable with Excel and VBA.I'm trying to transform a VBA-heavy form from Excel into an Access database, as multiple accessing is required, as well as data analysis. The situation is I have a form where users enter data (name, account number, date, etc). The account number is unique, and I have a table of approximately 14000 account numbers which contains the company name, address, and other details for each account number. I've set the account number as the primary ID on the accounts table.
What I would dearly love to be able to do is: when the account number is entered on the form, it is searched for (e.g. by the user clicking a button) from the accounts table. If it is located, the 7 fields in the relevant row are displayed in 7 textboxes on the form. I do not want to record the address, just display it on the form so the user can choose whether or not to use it.
So far, I have found GetRows, which seems to be able to convert the fields into a 2D array... this could be usable. But how can I do the first bit - find the correct row in the accounts table based on the account number entered into the textbox on the form? Is it possible to do this behind the scenes? In other words, Access finds the right row and displays each field in its textbox on the form, without producing a report form first.
I am relatively new to Access and i am wondering why i cannot find a specific field from a table on the control source when i am and attached it to a check box.
I have created the field on the table, and now i want to attached it to the check box on a form however when i go down the list of control sources i cannot see it.
I have 5 textboxes and a multiline textbox in a form in my Access Database. I am going to type several keywords in those textboxes and I am going to type an article in the multiline textbox.
What I need to do is I want to calculate the keyword density in the article. I can do that if i know how to search the whole text in the article and count the specific word. And I want a function to count all the words in the article too.
I'm looking for some type of custom function that will search a specified column for any keywords listed inside another table.
I can run a query on each keyword individually, however there are 50 and it takes a long time each time I do it. I was hoping to write in a function for that column and it would just select all records that match.
These would all need to be a "like" with an " * " on each end of the word.
With SQL it would look something like:
Code:
select a.address1
from main_tbl as a
where a.address1 like '* north *'
or a.address1 like '* park *'
or a.address1 like '* south *';
I just want it to read each of the table values instead of hard coding them and the column name would be the function name so it can be used in any column I specify. I'm just not sure how to incorporate this into a custom function.
I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee

12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe

I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
Hi ya, the database that I'm working on has many employees for example 2 directors, 6 managers, 22 tutors (there are different types of tutors permanant temporary etc), 4 finance managers etc etc when you click on one of the employee type it expands and shows how many employee are under that section and their details etc, like when i click on director, there is this + sign beside it and when I click on it, it expands and shows me info on all the directors only.. How would I get that?? Do I have to make a seperate table for named employee type?? but then how would I add a relationship to it between employee and employee type?? how would I go about doing that...
Also I need to know how to do it since I need to use queries lateron which will only be about tutors and the courses they teach, and since there are many different types of tutors I'm kinda lost... Thank you for your help in advance!
Hi Folks!
I've been asked to make a 5 questions test to evaluation potential new employees' knowledge of MS-Access. Honestly, I need your input on what to ask. The goal is not to make a very hard test, but rather to see if somebody as at least basic knowledge of SQL and Ms-Access.
Some background information of what we do with MS-Access
We use MS-Access as a central hub for different download from different systems. We make a lot of daily imports. We export queries in Ms-Excel. We open it from Access and format the report. We make hundreds of reports every day. We don't really use forms or reports.
What questions to ask?
I was thinking of having 2 questions about SQL. One simple query with a formula, and a query with 2 tables (perhaps a left join). On what should my other questions be?
Hey guys-
I am importing data on a daily basis- some of it contains existing records, some of those existing records have updated information, and then the rest will be new records. I am importing into a table, say, tbImport.
I have 3 tables I am splitting this info out to- tbListings, tbAgent, and tbAgentOffice. Each record can have up to 3 Sales Agents on the file- Agent 1, Agent 2, and Agent 3. Each Agent has their own Employee ID, as well as Office ID, Mobile, Home, Pager numbers. Each Agent can belong to only ONE Office, but every office can have multiple agents. I am using the Agent's Employee ID (it's assigned by another SQL db- and I will never be assigning this freely to anyone else, or new agents- they come into the DB already assigned a unique code).
Agent 1, 2 and 3 can freely change positions (Agent 1 can be Agent 3 at times, etc etc) from record to record. However, I want to store all their contact info into a separate table, going for 3rd Level Normalization...
So what I have is this-
tbImport
_____________________
fldInfoID
fldWhatever
fldAgent1Code
fldAgent1Name
fldAgent1Mobile
fldAgent1Pager
fldAgent1Home
fldAgent1OfficeName
fldAgent1OfficeCode
fldAgent1OfficeFax
fldAgent1OfficeNumber
fldAgent2Code
fldAgent2Name
fldAgent2Mobile
fldAgent2Pager
fldAgent2Home
fldAgent2OfficeName
fldAgent2OfficeCode
fldAgent2OfficeFax
fldAgent2OfficeNumber
fldAgent3Code
fldAgent3Name
fldAgent3Mobile
fldAgent3Pager
fldAgent3Home
fldAgent3OfficeName
fldAgent3OfficeCode
fldAgent3OfficeFax
fldAgent3OfficeNumber
**plus a ton of other data- but you get the idea here
AND I want it to go into tables like these 2-
tbAgent
________________
fldAgentCode (Primary Key)
fldAgentName
fldAgentMobile
fldAgentPager
fldAgentHome
fldAgentOfficeName
fldAgentOfficeCode
fldAgentOfficeFax
fldAgentOfficeNumber
tbAgentOffice
_________________
fldAgentOfficeCode (Primary Key)
fldAgentOfficeName
fldAgentOfficeNumber
fldAgentOfficeFax
So- the tbAgent table will store all the contact info for every agent, and tbAgentOffice stores info for their offices. I know I'll have relationships from tbListings.fldAgent1Code (as well as Agent 2 and 3 at the same time) to the tbAgent.fldAgentCode. I'll also have a relationship from tbAgent.fldAgentOfficeCode to tbAgentOffice.fldAgentOfficeCode. So, when I do daily imports- I will need to run an update query from the tbImport table into the other 3 tables at the same time. My question is this-
How do I cram the individual fields for all 3 agents, into one universal field in the tbAgent table at the same time? I can't get my mind around the concept here. How will it take all the fields for each agent in the tbImport table- and cram them into 1 record set (while checking for existing/update records) in the tbAgent table? How do I write that in the sql code to tell it to link Agent2Mobile into the same Record as Agent2Code, and not into the Agent1Code or Agent3Code? Right now it seems to me that there's no way to distinguish between the Mobile Number for Agent 1 2 and 3 compared to their own Codes to identify the records with. Does that make sense?
Any help you can provide is EXTREMELY appreciated!
