The below isn't the actual use but it is easier to explain like this...
I have a system set up on access and I have a front page (form) where I can enter the reference number (1141#2) of a building (YELDR for example).
This then fills in information in the other fields on the front page. For example address, number of doors and entry codes.
My problem is that this only displays one door and one entry code. I need it to display all doors and all entry codes so that I can just type in my reference number and have something that looks like the below but for all of them. It works fine at the moment but only for one of the results when there can be up to 10.
Reference No. YEDJR <---------------- I ENTER THIS
Address - high Street - London - UK <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Doors - Green - front <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- Red - side <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- Orange - back <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Codes - 10111 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- 10221 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
- 10256 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
I know this is probably nowhere near enough information but is this possible? I don't know SQL so i would have to use the designer.
This is the SQL which I have at the moment though (I didn't write it i just copied this from design view on the query)
Code:
SELECT [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Name],
[Site Info Data].freq, [Site Info Data].status, [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Owner], [Site Info Data].[NGR #2],
[Site Info Data].[Address #2], [Site Info Data].[Postcode S2], [Site Info Data].[Dish size #2],
[Site Info Data].[Dish height #2], [Site Info Data].[Dish Bearing #2], [Site Info Data].RCLO
FROM [Site Info Data]
WHERE ((([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2])
Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141]));
I have a switchboard which runs a google style search query to find people based on their first name, surname, date of birth or NI number on clicking the search button. It uses the following criteria in the query Like "*" & [Forms]![SearchF]![Firstname] & "*" for each of the above fields.
This works perfectly until someone inputs a record that doesn't have anything in one of the fields. ie, full name and DoB, but no NI number. When a record is entered in this way, the table stores the record but the search query cannot find it.
I am working on a report that has some special characteristics.
Let's say I have a list of groups of Vendors in a table, complete with VendorID. I have 3 other tables that use the VendorID: Complaints, Complements, and Terminations.
Each of these tables has a date that the Complaint, Complement, and Termination notice was received.
Every Fiscal Quarter, a report is pulled that looks back over the 4 preceding quarters to determine if a 5% threshold has been crossed by any of the vendor-groups in regards to the amount of Complaints they received.
The equation used for that is : (complaints/vendors_in_group)*100
It is imperative that the information has the current fiscal year and fiscal month (which I am tracking with functions from MS website), and I need to be able to store the information attached to the fiscal year and month.So when a user goes to the form and inputs the desired Fiscal Year and Fiscal Month, the database can display the 4 previous quarters of information...split into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.
What I would like to have happen is to be able to have one table where the information is stored, quarterly, so that it can be retrieved for the report.
Questions: 1. Is it possible to have one line, per VendorID, that has the total number of Complements, Complaints, and Terminations, as well as the threshold percent stored in a table? Right now, I am getting LOTS of duplicates and blank lines when I try to put them all together. It has the right data, but takes about 10 rows per VendorID.
2. It is very important that the total number of Vendors in a group be captured on that quarterly report, so maintaining that number, in the same table, is essential and must be tied to the VendorID.
3. I have looked at Union Queries and Crosstabs, but I just dont know enough about them to make it work.
My SQL is fairly basic so excuse me if this is something simple.
This isn't my database, I am trying to create a report on someone else's and it's a poor structure (sound familiar :-).
If I have created two queries; one of which selects results on students from one table and the other selects results on students from a completely different table. This means I have two Hi,
My SQL ability is fairly basic so excuse me if this is something simple.
This isn't my database, I am trying to create a report on someone else's and it's a poor structure (sound familiar :-).
If I have created two queries; one of which selects results on students from one table and the other selects results on students from a completely different table, how do I combine these results into one query so I can run a report on it?
To outline the situation, I have two different queries with identical data types but from two different tables. I need to query these two queries and (possibly) link in another ‘student information’ table so that I can display the results from both queries as if they all came from the same place.
The addition of the extra table in the final query would only be so I can add extra student data into the final report.
I have an access database which is going to present a front end webpage form. The form has several drop down lists and I need one of those drop down list to display only certain results dependent on what the previous drop down list has selected e.g. if Box A is selected as Aces then I need the next drop down box to only display A building
1-A building 2 A building 3 and not the entire list.
I have a approximately 70 queries in my database. I would like to be able to run a query which would run all of the queries and output the number of records for each query. Ideally, these would then be written to a table so that the user could then just read the values from the table for the latest results, rathe r than have to execute the whole thing again.
The user may wish to select which queries to run. I was thinking that I would need a table as follows called say tblQueryResults:
So my first dilema is to work out how to run all the chosen queries that the user wishes to run. The user will probably have all 70 ticked as Yes initially.
Should I run this from VB code with a whole lot of VB statements. I would like to loop through the whole table and collect a list of all the queries to run based on a positive Yes for some or all of the queries. The results must then go and be written into the same table under the date it was run and the number of records that was found for each query.
The whole reason for doing this is that queries which return no records need not be run by the user - saving the user time etc. I appreciate that this query will take a considerable amount of time - given that it could be as many as 70 being run one after another.
Right now i have a qry that takes ID - Name - Order - RepeatOrder - Month - Department.
Now when i run the qry what i want is a grand total of Order/Repeat Order by Name for the Month, what is happening is the qry is creating multiple entries for different departments. I even have Department "Group by" but still causing the issue, For example:
For APR:
4/1/14 Dep A 12 2 4/1/14 Dep B 10 2
However i do not want them separated, how to i merge the data into 1 entry? 4/1/14 22 4?
Im making a database about past bid results. In one table i have a list of bidders and which place they came in (along with some other information). I have 20 positions (1st place, second place and so on...), so i made 20 queries that search through the table for my company's name so we can see how many times we came in first, second, third and so on. Now i would like to bring the number of records in each query to a single form. I tried making another query to using the count feature on the other 20 queries but it keeps returning 0 as the number of results per query. But when i open each query up there are obvisouly more that 0 results in each. Is there a way i can bring up the number of results per query all on one form?
I 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?
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I have a large database of students and parents which charts their weight, waist circ., lifestyle etc. When I then create reports, is it possible to change the colour of the entry so that I can differentiate between students and parents results? In other words, can I have all student entries in red and all parents in black, for example? At the moment, when I try to change the colour of one of these, the entire column changes to that colour and I don't know how to amend my reports to do this. Please see attached.
I am trying to create a movie database that uses a table and data entry/view form for films (title, year, director, and actors, etc), and another table that uses a data entry/ record view form for each actor including bio information and films that have appeared in.
The problem I am trying to solve is how I can relate the two tables by entering the film/actor information on the movie form, and have each film an actor has appeared in show up as a list on the actor form. Every time an actor’s name is added to the film table, I want the title of that film to be added to the list of films the actor has appeared in when viewing their bio form.
If I have a single field for “actors” on the film form, it creates an inexact match for relational purposes, due to multiple names being listed. If I use multiple fields (“actor 1, actor 2, actor 3”, etc) I have both the relationship problem and the inevitability that I will not have enough fields on the form for the data entry person to add all actors.
Is there a way to create a relationship between the tables using an inexact match? Is there some way to have a combo or list box for each actor nested in a single field? Would the tables still relate correctly?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Basically a student is allowed to be late three times before they get detention.
I want to record
1. Student Name 2. Late Date (a maximum of three late dates need to be entered) 3. What time they arrived on the corresponding date 4. Whether they have a note or note 6. Their reason for being late. 7. A checkbox for detention.
It would be great if someone could help me with this, I understand it needs to go into seperate tables but I run into difficulty when I want to record the dates.
For example I created 3 tables, LateDate1, LateDate2 and LateDate3 all with the relevant info (time, note reason) but I think there must be a clearer and simpler way to do this?!
Im having a real problem in creating a query to return the results that I'm after. I have a wargaming Database. Units are created on seperate forms i.e Armour, Infantry etc. There could be a number of Battalions of each say Armour1, Armour2, Infantry1 Infantry2, the amount is endless. All of these battalions are linked to a game name i.e Battle 1, Battle 2 etc.
Im trying to show in a seperate table the name of each battlion that is involved. At present whaen I create my query I use the Arour Table and the Infantry table but if Ive only created 1 Armour unit and 2 Infantry unit, it shows the record twice. ie:
Hi I have a form and sub form, the sub form is populated from a query and has a column of checkboxes. Basically these checkboxes get checked as part of the form, but only a maximum of five are allowed to be checked. Is there a way of achieving this? Cheers Dan
I have a very simple database that keeps a track of line performance figures, i have attached a part of it as an example:
In my lines table are 8 production lines
in my log table i need to keep a track of the data,
what i would like to happen:
i need a form that when i open it all the production lines i have are displayed and next to each line are 2 data entry fields so i can enter a performance and an output figure for each line in one go, so in this instance i would like 8 lines and 2 entries per line.
at the moment i have to do each line individually.
i would also like this to grow should i add more lines
I have a master to child table relation which is one to many. Each one is represented by a different form.
The problem is, the user enters the primary key "JobID" on the master form, then he needs to enter a few records on the child list with the same "JobID" which is the foreign key in that case. I don't want the user to enter the "JobID" every time he enters a new record in the child form.
Is there a way I can copy the primary key to the foreign key each time the user enters a new record in the child form?
I have a Comments field on a form. I would like to set it up so that multiple comments can be added and logged at different times by different users. I have attached a picture of what I am looking to do.
I have a form with a "WorkerID" field. Once the worker enters his ID once, I want the same ID to show up for all the subsequent records so that he doesn't have to type it over and over again. Is there any way to do this? Sorry if I sound totally new to this (I am)!
I have been trying to figure this one out for a while and I can't seem to find anything helpful. I'm going to present a simplified version of my problem to help keep it simple.
I have an "Activities" table that contains fields: ActivityID ActivityName
I have a table of 7 Risk areas which contains fields: RiskID RiskName
What I need to do is to create a form that will allow the user to select an activity and then, for each of the 7 risk areas, input a risk measurement.
This involves the creation of a 3rd table to collect the user input which would contain fields:
MeasurementID RiskMeasurement ActivityID RiskID
I can do a dropdown of the Activities and have a subform that links to it but the problem I'm having is trying to get that subform to list the 7 Risk Areas AND collect the RiskMeasurement information from the user. How can I have a listing of these 7 areas from one table that are tied to inputs that go into another table? This seems so basic and simple yet I have tried numerous things and all have failed.
I am coding in VBA and use Microsoft Access as the front end. My question is : I have a table(tblStudent) which has two fields Student Name and Gender.
I want to add multiple records in this table through a form at a button click....(Say I want to add least 5 students at a time) So, I have 5 textboxes for student name, 5 textboxes for Gender and an Add button. How do I so this programmatically?
I am trying to customize one of my query table, so that it shows the latest review date of an employee (with multiple entries). I have gotten the SQL statement to work so that it shows the latest employee review date which is greater than the current date. But if the employee has 2 records after the current date and I want it to show the latest entry of the 2. I don't know to put add a sub-Select statement or whether to add another criteria in the Where criteria.
e.g. Current Date = May 25, 2005If Employee A's next review date is set for June 1, 2005 but has already been reviewed (the next review date is May 31, 2006). The query will show the June 1, 2005 and not the latest entry of May 31, 2006.
Because there are 2 review dates that are after the current date. What should I do to make only the latest entry appear?
Below is the my VBA code so far, which produces the above result.
SELECT tblEmp.fname, tblEmp.lname, tblEmpWorkHistory.[current store], tblEmp.position, tblEmpSalaryHistory.salary, tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date FROM (tblEmp INNER JOIN tblEmpSalaryHistory ON tblEmp.ssn=tblEmpSalaryHistory.ssn) LEFT JOIN tblEmpWorkHistory ON tblEmp.ssn=tblEmpWorkHistory.ssn WHERE (((tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date)>Now() And (tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date)<=[Please enter the Next Review Date])) ORDER BY tblEmpSalaryHistory.next_review_date;
My brain is stuck and can't figure it out. I hope any fresh mind could help me out. Thanks in advance.

I am having an issue with a database I'm creating. It is a root cause analysis database. One of the fields is Target_Date. I need to set up queries that alert us if the target date is coming up, (in a week or so), or if it is past due. The issue is that some target dates are simply, "Next Run", which is to say that the corrective action must happen on the next run of the particular item which, at that point, has not been scheduled.
In order to do the above query, the dates must be formatted as Date/Time as <date() will bring up all dates regardless of whether they are in fact less than today if they are in text format. However, this restricts the ability to put in the target_date of "Next Run". Next Run will be required for another query in which we will specify the products coming up and it will let us know which "Next Run" items associated with those products we will do.
Essentially, I have taken the long route to ask, is it possible to create a field format that measures dates as dates and text as text?
I am currently working on a form that involves several linked tables. Since our personnel got so used to a certain form format, I have scanned the form and imported into an access form as a background and have laid corresponding fields on top.(I have attached a snapshot of the form). This works great for a view only form, but I can't seem to add/edit records using this form because of the table relationship. I have done some research, and found that one way to get around this problem is to use subforms, but that would kill the form format. Another way I have seen (which I am not sure how to do) is to have a temporary field and once you hit the submit button it will then fill out the tables.
