Need A Flag In A Database
Sep 28, 2006I need a flag(indicator) for my database. This flag would be read by many different functions and depending on the value of the flag, would do one of two things.
Example: If the flag is "A", when I click a button in a form it does "C" function. If the flag is "B", then in case of the previous button it will do "D" function.
What I'm having a hard time with is where to store said flag. Mind you the flag is either one or the other ("A" or "B") for the entire database, not just a specific record(s). I thought about adding a field to my 'master' table and then use an update query to change all the values from "A" to "B" as needed, but that seemed a bit like storing redundant data.
How or where should I store this flag?
Queries :: Database With Two Tables Structured - Yes / No Criteria
Mar 18, 2013I have a database with two tables structured as in attachement. In a nutshell I have a list of values with two criteria associated in one table and a second table with a 3-rd criteria.
What I need is to have a query with a list of values (corresponding to Criteria 1=yes) if Criteria 3 is on "Yes", and with another list of values (corresponding to Crirteria 2=yes) if Criteria 3 is on "No".
Can this be solved only in one query?

Queries :: Unable To Import Tables From FoxPro Database Using VBA Code

Queries :: Multiple Tables In Database - Inverting Results Of Select Query
Feb 5, 2015I have a question where I need to effectively invert the results of a select query.
I have multiple tables in the database, but the 2 I'm looking at are TBL.Trip and TBL.TripDiary
A trip is logged in the trip table, and then an operator logs a diary entry against the trip. One of the options that the operator selects is when they receive an email back from the traveller, this is logged as a diary entry.
I need the query to look at the DIARY_Action field and select all records in the TBL.Trip that DO NOT CONTAIN an entry for Diary Action "4".
I can produce a select query that gives me the results to see all trips that HAVE had a response, with a simple IS LIKE "4" query in the action field.
If I change this to IS NOT LIKE "4", I get the results that I need, but duplication due to the various other "diary" entries in the table".
I simply need the inverse of the IS LIKE query but cannot see how to remove the duplicates?

Flag Dates

View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing A Query To Add A Flag From One Table To Another
Jul 8, 2005Hi, just so you are aware, I am totally clueless when it comes to Microsoft Access. I tried finding tutorials and help online that I could use to do this but I'm having trouble understanding what I'm supposed to do. I have two huge tables linked to each other by an ID number. One table contains multiple records with the same ID number while the other does not. There are records in the first table that don't appear in the second one, and there MAY be entries in the second table that don't appear in the first table. The second table has a flag that I would like to add to records in the first table that appear in the second table. What is the easiestt way to do this? This may be an extremely stupid question or it may be very hard, I'm not sure which, though I'm leaning toward it being a stupid question. Thank you in advance for your help.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFlag Record When Printed
Apr 26, 2005I print a certificate for each person attending my class by sending the form (StudentForm) to a report . To save time I print and sign certificates for all preregistered students then during class I enter all students that enroll the day of class. What I would like to do is flag each preprinted record so when I select the print button after all students are entered into the database all certificates except the preprinted records will be printed. Any ideas on how to flag a printed record?

Jul 3, 2013I have a list of locations in a sub form where a chart has been and the last record is it's current location. I'm generating a building report which should show a list of charts on that building, but it also shows it on old locations. So in the example, it shows for building 43 and building 83. I just need it to show on 83, how to accomplish this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedComplex Duplicate Entries - How To Flag Up Etc.
Jan 8, 2007Hi everyone,
I'm aware of the wizard in MS Access that creates a new table containing duplicated entries that have been entered under one column, however, my problem is slightly more complex...
A contractor of mine has recorded information from CCTV surveys of sewers (not very glamorous I know!) in a Microsoft Access database. If you can imagine - the camera can be pushed along a pipe from both ends. Sometimes, the survey is abandoned in one direction and then repeated along the same length of pipe but from the other direction. The database contains (amongst other columns) a "start manhole" reference and a "end manhole" reference.
eg:
16014
As you can see, the information contained by both entries will be the same (as they are the same length of pipe). Therefore, I was wondering how I could get MS Access to:
1. Recognise these 2 entries as duplicates
2. Create a table that hides the duplicated entry with a shorter "SectionLength" value.
Many thanks in advance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Creating A Favourite / Bookmark Flag?
Nov 5, 2013I have a knowledge base database which lets the user search for articles containing answers to common problems and issues. Some of the users want to be able to bookmark certain useful articles. The DB is a front end/back end design so I am thinking if I have one table stored in the front end which can be used to store that particular user's favourites then that would be great. However, I a little stuck on how to implement this. Ideally, I'd like a simple checkbox option next to each article, which when ticked, would store that article ID in that user's local front end.
View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: Display Flag Corresponding To Selection In Combo Box
Apr 18, 2015I'm trying to create an access database to make an inventory of my model trains.
I have a main entry form (frmTrain) where I enter all sorts of info regarding e.g. a locomotive. This info is then stored in a table (tblTrain).
In the main entry form, I've put a combo box (cmbCountries) linked to a query (qryCountries) which queries the country codes from a table (tblCountries) that has three fields:
ID (autonumber)
CountryCode (short text) (containing the country codes UK, FR, DE, ...)
FlagFile (short text) (containing the name of the flag picture, e.g. UK.png)
The flags are stored as *.png files in a folder Flags that is in the same folder as the database file. I have chosen this approach instead of putting the flag pictures in an OLE field in tblCountries because I'd like to avoid being stuck to *.bmp files (don't support transparency). I'd also like to avoid having to mention the complete file path in the field FlagFile
I created a form (frmCountries) to easily add countries to tblCountries as needed.
Now back to the main entry form. The selection made in cmbCountries is stored in the field 'Countries' in tblTrain. When a country is selected in cmbCountries, I'd like that the corresponding flag is displayed next to the combo box.
I found an example on the web where an image field was used to display the flag, let's say with the following code:
Private Sub cmbCountries_Change()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.ImageFieldName.Picture = Me.cmbCountries.Column(2)
End Sub
and where the combo box had as row source (not using qryCountries):
SELECT tblCountries.ID, tblCountries.CountryCode, [Application].[CurrentProject].[path] & "Flags" & [FlagFile] AS Expr1 FROM tblCountries ORDER BY tblCountries.[Code];
The problem with this example is that, if you select in frmTrain e.g. UK, the UK flag is then displayed across all records in frmTrain. So the image field is not the appropriate field to display the flag in frmTrain and I guess an unbound/bound (?) object frame should rather be used.
How to display correctly the flag picture for every individual record in frmTrain corresponding to the country chosen in cmbCountries.

Updating Query Flag If Child Records Exists
Jul 12, 2006I have a stock-type record and a stock-item record.
I want to update a flag on the stock-type record called instock to be true if there are related stock-item records and false if there are no related records.
Does anyone know how to run a updating query that will do this?
I am fairly new to this so I'm sorry if this is a bit of a basic question.
Thank you for your help in advance.

If Filed Hasnt Changed In 24hrs...flag It And Dcount The Results ?
Aug 3, 2006Another question on how might be the best way to do things with dates ?
I have a simple database which is a fault database.
I get an email request to investigate something and I log it and give it a ticket number. If I email back , I put the comments that I sent in the email in the update field on the database.
When I create the ticket its in an open state with a date and time stamp of now()
When I close (drop down box with open and close as options) the ticket it automatically updates the time in the closed filed to Now()
What I want to do is when I updated my comments field , this sets a date value in a hidden field on the form of Now()
So then I need an expression that looks at the difference between the updated time and the now time
i.e. I update a call on 29/7/2006 at 10:00 am
Its now 30/7/2006 at 10:01
i.e 24hrs and 1 minute later
As its more than 24hrs this flags and output to a filed e.g. 1
I then total all the "1" and therefore I have a ticket count of how many calls have not been updated in 24hrs.
So Im assuming I will need an after update event on my comments field put today's date in this hidden field ,and then maybe some sort of code which is maybe on my switchboard which looks at the difference of these dates and if greater than (or equal too) 24hrs it will output a value of 1.
And If I can do this I can also have a flag if its more than 2 days , then clear the 24hr flag an increment a 24hr flag etc.
My tickets should all be closed with 24 hrs , so this is something to capture anything that is open and hasn't been updated in 24hrs
Id appreciate some guidance on the best way to do this ?
Cheers

Question On Query To Flag A Field Based On Calculated Data
Apr 25, 2005I have a table with numerous fields including timeIn and timeOut field (these are date/time format). I need to find out how many people were clocked in during each operating hour (based upon their time in and time out). How can I run a query that will allow me to use the times in and out to 'flag' each hour that each person was on duty (a new field for each hour) so that I can run a count on the completed data for every hour?
View 4 Replies View RelatedForms :: Automate A Membership Status Flag - Invalid Use Of Null
May 20, 2014I am trying to automate a membership status flag based on comparing today's date and a recorded expiry date. The expiry date control is on a sub-form. I have the following code in the OnLoad event of the master form:
Dim DateGap As Integer
While Me.CurrentRecord < Me.Recordset.RecordCount
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
DateGap = DateDiff("y", Date, Forms!PersonalMasterF!MemberSubF.Form.MemberExpire )
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
[Code] .....
With debug pointing to the DateGap = statement I get the error 'Invalid use of Null'. As you can see, I've tried to trap any new records it might run into to avoid nulls in MemberExpire, and there are no null values in the MemberExpire field of the underlying table. I've also tried defining DateGap as Variant, which does not work at all.
Database Size Limited To 2GB / Query Multiple Database Without Linking Tables?
Sep 7, 2011I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
Tables :: Two Identical Database - Importing Tables By Linking To Data Source
Dec 3, 2012I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)
Tables :: Splitting Database - Front End Does Not Link To All Tables In Back End
May 28, 2013I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end...
