Alrighty,
I am going to take another shot at making my inherited database like the others I see. It is an inventory questionnaire. It seems most of the information is stored in 1 table . I have read much on this forum about normalizing and I understand this is to stop duplicates. I would like to normalize this database and create it in Oracle. I have tried recreating it.
The database tracks assets and the people who own and manage them and there risk.
I have one table called
tblAsset - It holds everything about the asset including the risk rating and summary.
tblAssetformat - are the formats of the assets for dropdown query
tblImpactItems - is the risk impacts for dropdown query
tblMasterplan - are the decision teams dropdown query
tblRiskLevels - are risk levels for dropdown query
My form is usually a query and all the information on one screen.
When I tried to normalize it before it appears it should be the following:
tblAsset - Asset Name, Asset ID, Asset Description, Asset format, Asset Location
tblInventory - Conf Risk level, Integ Risk Level, Impact,
tblowner - Owner department, unit, masterplan.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
How does normalizing affect current queries and forms?I need to normalize a database here at work, the original creator made one BIG table.My concern is how will that normalization affect the current queries and forms I have created based on the current table?I tried the Wizard but that wont do the job I will have to do it manually.Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI’m working on a new database which will record furnace logs for a heat treat company. I did my best to normalize the tables. I’m trying to add new records through a select query which updates multiple tables. My problem is I don’t believe I did that great of a job normalizing the tables because I continue to get errors stating I have duplicate entries. It dose not make any sense because each table uses an auto number as the PK and one FK value from the tblProcessFurnace which is an auto number. Every new record should increment the PK. Thus making it impossible to have duplicate values.

I have a friend who is using Excel to track a Greyhound Protective Association roster. These are folks that foster and adopt Greyhounds -- thus a worthy cause. It has over 600 rows of data.
I've attached 50 rows of sample data in Excel format.
Along with contact information, there are also fields to track up to 5 dogs. I've gone through the spreadsheet and tried to set it up for import to Access 2000. I have the dogs numbered 1 through 5.
I'd like to set this up in two (or more ??) tables, with Contacts in one, and the dog information in another. I'm guessing it will be one-to-many (Contacts -->Dogs).
However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this all together so that she can use a form-subform setup to input / access the data.
I'd like to pull up a name in the form, and have the subform display all of the dogs that this person has adopted, with the ability to add more dogs. Thus, they could have one dog, or 2 dozen dogs.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am new to this forum and a rookie when it comes to Access. I inherited a pretty complex db and from my experience from other forums as well as trouble coming up with accurate queries I have come to the conclusion that normalizing the db is the only solution.
However, I really need help with this process.
I have attached a simplified version of my database with only the tables (all the #s and data are fake).
Basically what this db does is track lease hold improvements for various groups (ADT and RWA) and the tables are split up to reflect the 2 groups.
I will focus only on the ADT tables as the RWA is basically the same thing (Dont worry about GSA and the other stuff). The main table in the db is the ADT_Detail which includes all sorts of data regarding "Projects". I will provide information on each field:
Project- Project numbers numbers are unique, but often have multiple DCNs (and there's not always a project number so that can cause a null value for primary keys).
DCN - Each DCN can have multiple projects associated with it
TO - Task order can be the same for everything
SiteCode - A number that identifies various locations, there is another table that lists all the site codes and pertinent info on each.
CostBase - A currency figure on the original cost of each Project
Useful - length of useful life for each project
Complete-Expense - yes/no field
Complete-Cap - yes/no field
WIP- yes/no field
(any project can have 1 or multiple yes for these)
InServ Date - Date the project is placed in service
Start Amort Date - Date amortization starts on the project
date add LHI - the date the project is entered into the db
Fund- a number where the project is expensed
Post Fund - If a fundis not available for the project this is what is used by the DCN and is usually the more important one
Year- when the project begins
Post year - If a year is not available for the project this is what is used by the DCN and is usually the more important one
Deletion - yes/no box so that we can keep a track of what items we are deleting to compare with other periods
Deletion date - used to identify Quarter that the project was deleted
There is also a table labeled (ADT_Master) which contains other data for each project. This is pretty self explanatory when you look at the table.
Everything is also based on quarters when we ran queries to show additions, deletions, adjustments in certain quarters based on the quarters table.
This is probably more info than what is necessary but hopefully it will give you an idea of whats going on. Let me know if you need any further clarification and I will try my best to assist.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Just was asked to create a new db
Basically it's going to track provider/member information
Here is where I'm running into a issue.
I have a provider table, it has the name, rider#, and I need to list the 'clinic' the provider belongs too. I orignially thought since many providers can belong to the same clinic. I would created a clinic lookup table..
but then I started thinking, how in the world would I keep that updated? There are tons of clinics out there, and I have no way of knowing which ones need to be in the db.
So then I thought, should I just have clinic be a text field and the user will just type in the clinic name when they enter the new provider info? That would work, but it's also creates duplication in the db, and what happens if one person enters a new provider and spells the clinic name wrong? OR what happens if a clinic changes it's name all together?
I would have to run update queries to fix all that. Doesn't seem like the right way to go about this.
So how would you do it? Keep the database normalized, but also keep it easy for the users to update and maintain when creating records?
I have a 1000 records with 4 columns , now normalized.
I can use set to update and set some of the records. Perhaps there is a method I am missing. Is there some script or stored procedure I can run in sql to speed this up.
I have 181 units to match 1000 records as well as business leads any hints would be appreciated.
I am matching the DepartmentID in the department table back to the field on another table.
Thanks in advance

Hi folks.
I'm going over a laboratory application that I started a few years ago, trying to do a better job with some of the table structure that I set up, and improve the application. Right now, I'm working on the very first thing I did when I started building this application. This part has users pick a sieve stack setting for a size test, and record the grams of material weighed from each sieve in the test. This stack is based on the top and bottom size of the sample. In the original, I used a field for top and a field for bottom. In the new structure, it's together. There are over 100 different sieve stack combinations, and the number of sieves used in a combination for a test varies from 3 to 8. The way I was told to set it up is not in a normalized table structure, but it has worked fine for us to date.
I've gone in and broken the tables up into what I believe to be a normalized structure. The funny thing is, the size of the db is bigger with the tables put into a normalized structure than it is with the orignial, non-normal structure.
This seems weird to me. I've done this with other sets of non-normal tables in the application, and saw a subsequent shrink in db size because of the optimization of the table structure. Now I'm wondering if I've done this right, so I'm asking if some of you experienced hands can look at this and tell me if I've gone wrong in my attempt to normalize the table structure.
I appreciate any input in this issue, as it has me scratching my head a bit. I've posted db1, which is non-normal, and db2, which is normalized (I think). I put a few records in these, so you can get the gist of the application use. File size with these few records is negligible, but the application has over 18,000 records in it, and the file size difference is over 1MB, which was unexpected.
Thank you.
I need some normalizing my data properly, and then showing the values in a form.
Currently, my table relationships look like this;
However, there can be multiple Genres per Band and each Genre will be applied to multiple Bands, and I know this is a Many-To-Many relationship, but I'm uncertain on how to create this properly and then show it in a subform in a form.
If you want to use a "DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO" command to insert data in a table and the data to insert comes from a table and a form, could this be done in one pass?
So...writing a record wit 4 values from table1 together with a additional value from a textbox in table2 as 5 values.
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
I'm using Microsoft Access 2010. I want to create a database that people without Microsoft Access can use. If I create a database is it possible to use VBA in Excel to update a table in Access and then run/export a query? I know you can use Excel to communicate with MS Access but can you do it when you don't have MS Access installed on your computer?
I have daily sales data that I want someone without MS Access to be able to load into the database and then export a query from.

I am trying to create a named hierarchy based off a table from an Oil & Gas Program ARIES. The code below is as far as I could get:
Code:
SELECT dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.PROPNUM
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.SEQUENCE
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.SECTION
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.QUALIFIER
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.KEYWORD
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.EXPRESSION
, (SELECT COUNT(*)
[Code] ....
The results are as such:
PROPNUM...SECTION...SEQUENCE...QUALIFIER...KEYWORD ...EXPRESSION...TEST
TEST1.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1
TEST1.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..1
TEST1.......4................3.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2
TEST1.......4................4.................TAG .............SHRINK.........1...................1
TEST1.......5................1.................TAG .............ATX...............5.................. .1
TEST1.......5................2.................TAG .............ATX...............5.................. .2
TEST2.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1
TEST2.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..1
The desired Results:
PROPNUM...SECTION...SEQUENCE...QUALIFIER...KEYWORD ...EXPRESSION...TEST...KEYWORD2
TEST1.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1........GTC/GAS_1
TEST1.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2........GTC/GAS_2
TEST1.......4................3.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..3........GTC/GAS_3

TEST1.......5................1.................TAG .............ATX..............5................... 1........ATX_1
TEST1.......5................2.................TAG .............ATX..............5................... 1........ATX_1
TEST2.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1........GTC/GAS_1
TEST2.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2........GTC/GAS_2
First I will give background on the table and fields. Then I will explain the overall goal for creating of the TEST and KEYWORD 2 fields.
BACKGROUND
PROPNUM: UNIQUE ID
SECTION: Set of data responsible for a certain function EX: section 4 - expenses, section 5 - interest, etc.
SEQUENCE: The order of the sytanx in that propnum's section
QUALIFIER: Qualifies multiples set of syntax per section to differentiate other work (NOT REALLY IMPORTANT for the query)
KEYWORD: A specific word that the program recognizes and treates the expression according to the key word * the quotes keyword is a continuation line and represent the keyword above it*
EXPRESSION: are the variables that are treated by program according to the keyword
OVERALL GOAL: The main goal is to have a spreadsheet of variables used by the program to calculate it's end result. Which means KEYWORD & EXPRESSION by PROPNUM. THE PROBLEM is that the only way to tell that a quote keyword belongs is by having the sequence and section lined up. So my solution is to rename the quote keyword with the primary keyword and a number.

I am using Access 2010. How do I prevent the object typed into the textbox on a queryform being written to the table. The result from the name typed into the textbox on my query form correctly produces the result from the query, and my macros then produce the correct report, which I can either print or close due to the controls in the heading of the report. However, when I view the table, the name typed (only) has been inserted into the correct field as a new record in the table. Is there a macro I can add (I assume to an event in the query form) to prevent this happening?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have generated two queries called "qry_GetWellName_GetAPI" and "qry_GetWellProduction" that extracts all the data I need from a csv to make two tables.
My issue is that I can not gather all the production data into a query formatted properly for a make table query that contains production history by month / api number.
Ideally the data would be placed in a table called tblProductionHistory with the following unique table index --> [api_fk] [data date]. The api_fk would link to the table that was created by extracting well names using qry_GetWellName_GetAPI.
tblProductionHistory field structure I am trying to achieve:
[api_fk]--[data date]--[oil rate]--[gas rate]--[water rate]--[days produced]--[cumulative oil]--[cumulative gas]
Currently the qry_GetWellProduction shows each well name and the year it had production as a separate record from the month names and the month's production values. I need to consolidate the data so each record can be matched to the unique table index.
Is there a sub query I need to use to manufacture a data date for each month that includes the year and last day of that month for that year? Also would I need a separate sub query to match each month's production to the api number?
I have just upgraded from Access 2003 to 2010. Now I'm trying to relearn some of the small things I used to be able to. In 2003, I could just have a table highlighted and select "Insert, Query". It would then open a query design with that table. Is this possible to do this in 2010? Or do you have to open query design then add the table manually?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have made a new access 2013 database. I have created a linked table that has imported a substantial amount of data from an external data source, (an Excel spreadsheet). So far no problem. I created a select query that plucked data from the original table mentioned. Again, no problem. Then I decided to create another table, using certain fields only from the select query. Microsoft's guide tells me to start with CREATE, then Table design. I am happy to use just 4 fields from my query, but what I keep ending up with is a table, that, when I double click on it gives me the following:
ID Field1 Field2 Click to add
(New)
It is presumably expecting me to enter an ID number and it will come up with some record, but I want a complete table that should show several hundred records.
I have a table that has one field and I want to use this field as a query criteria . when i click on CRITERIA & BUILD, Access lets me select the table field and shows [tblBillRun]![Bill_Run] for the criteria but when I click RUN, it prompts me to ENTER PARAMETER VALUE. What am i doing wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table "MansComps" which includes two fields, the "Index" field which contains a number, e.g "5" and the "Tabletype" field which contains a letter e.g "T". i have created a query based on this table, which combines these two fields and displays the result to a third field which I call "Components".
field: Index
1, 2, 3,....
field: Tabletype
T
field: "Component" has to be like this:
T00001, T00002,...
I have managed to combine the fields in my query using the expression:
Component: [Tabletype] & " " & [Index]
but the results appear without the leading zeros, like T1, T2..I have set my Index content to be a number and as a primary key and the Tabletype as a text. I also tried to change the format of Index to "00000" which works for the Index field separately but not for the Component field.Should I do something in the format of the Component field?
Say you have multiple excel sheets where forecasting is done daily.
For example, sheet one headings: Depot, department, location, 01/09/10, 02/09,10, 03/09/10
and then second sheet is similar but: Depot, department, location, 02/09/10, 03/09/10, 04,09, 10 - as you can see each day the forecast starts a day after and ends one date late (14 days each in the real one)...
How to I join all these forecasts into one table; vertically with each forecast identified by the day it start for analysis later.. rather than doing cross-tabulate which would take ages, I just need to keep adding more excel sheets but the headings change as they are dates...
