Queries :: Tracking Database - Retrieve Top 100 Records
Jul 24, 2013
I am working on a project where I am creating a database that tracks open orders (old and new orders that still need to be billed but haven't been billed for one reason or another).
I have my "Master" table built and now I need to create 2 queries, one query retrieves the Top 20 orders based on value and that are older then 30 days and the second query is to retrieve the Top 100 orders based on the same criteria but the Top 100 query should not include the orders that appear in the Top 20 query.
My Top 20 query is below
SELECT TOP 20 MASTER.COMBO, MASTER.[Customer Name], MASTER.Status, MASTER.CCD, MASTER.Area, MASTER.[Order Type], MASTER.[Order Value], MASTER.AGE, MASTER.ANALYST, MASTER.COMMENTS
FROM MASTER
WHERE (((MASTER.AGE)>=30))
ORDER BY MASTER.[Order Value] DESC , MASTER.AGE;
I have tried multiple ways to do the Top 100 query and exclude what is returned in my Top 20 query but so far no success.

I have visitors who come in from one to several days at a time through different times of the year. Usually someone visits each day. Currently I use Excel to track visitors but I often keep typing and retyping the same persons over and over.
I would like to create a database of these people but I'm stuck with how to enter and retrieve the information on a daily basis. Should I create a table with many date fields (up to several); or just two; one FROM and one TO and try to draw the information out through a query? If so, how would one ask ACCESS with a query to PRINT TODAYS LIST and another VIEW TODAYS LIST (of visitors) with a button on a form (I know how to create buttons).

I have a query which I'd like to create which would be to retrieve records from a specific month of a specific year, in this format "01/14" "02/13" etc..
Obviously it would need a prompt box for the query for the user to input the month and year.

I have two tables, One table containes customer name, etc., tblcustomers the other table contains the tbltimelog, log of activity start time end time. No issues. I want to generate a form based on the dateofentry for the time record. I am not able to get a summary lets say I spent 20 hours on ABC and 20 hours on CBS. If I spent 3 different days on ABC and 6 different days on CBS it will not add them together it will list it ABC 3 times and CBS 6 times. I have tried the distinct function but it doesn't work because the date is distinct. Is there a way to do this as an SQL or whatever. Thinking I could just create a new table and calculating the totals but that seems to be a waste.

I have a survey database that I've been using for the last year for monthly auditing of employees files. I need to be able to get monthly audit scores for each employee but grouped by their manager. The problem I'm having is employees have moved between managers throughout the year, so employees that are listed under Manager 2 now were actually working for Manager 1 when the audits occurred.
ie. Audits occurred Jan - April for Employee 1 while they were assigned to Manager 1. Employee 1 moved to Manager 2s team in May. So when running monthly reports for the year Employee 1 audits should fall under Manager 1 for Jan-April and Manager 2 for May-Dec.
I do have a history table set up like:
tblEmployeeHistory
ID (PK)
EmployeeID (FK to Employee table)
ManagerID (FK to Manager table)
MoveDate (date employee assigned to manager)
The Employee table is set up like:
Employee ID (PK)
EmployeeName
ManagerID (FK to Manager table)
The Manager table has the ManagerID and ManagerName.
That's the employee side of things; then I have the tables that store the audit results:
tblAudit
AuditID
FileNumber
AuditDate
EmployeeID (FK to employee table)
tblAuditResults
AuditID; QstnID (Composite PK, QstnID is FK to tblQuestions)
Answer
How can I use AuditDate and MoveDate to relate audits to the managers the employees were under when the audits occurred?

Is there a way to track changes made by different users to access tables? For instance if several users update or change data in various records is there a way to track when and what was changed (before and after data)?

I consider myself an intermediate ACCESS user and can get around it with little trouble with the help of the internet and the help file.
I am trying to design a database that is fairly simple in design, it is for tracking the status of documents at our work center. Basically we have personnel reports that are passed around the different people and different dates.
I have a main form that has the info on the person along with dates that it is due.
Then a sub form that has the date sent and where it went to.
My problem lies in that I want to keep track of the whole history of the document but when i print out a report or export the data to excel to put up in powerpoint I need to have just the most recent date sent only item.
I have 2 tables one with user info and another with the routing info with its own primary key along with a identifier key to link the primary and sub form.
Of course it is easy to create a report with the data to show all the different routing steps but not just the one with the most recent date.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I would like a field on my main switchboard that displays the last time the database was modified.
Simple question, and I can not find an answer anywhere.

Would like to hear from anyone that has designed a database that can be used to track employee compensation on a year to year basis. I am current designing a database to do just that but I'm having a hard time deciding on how to setup the tables. What they use this for is yearly reviews so I need it to be able to pull data from prior years and the current year. I've designed one but don't think its going to work for me. Just interested to see if and how someone has done the same thing.
Thanks,
Chester

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to setup my tables. The tracking system i am trying to create will have these information:
the Tables will contain these information
- Package number
- Received date
- Sent date
- How long have we had the package
- Status (Sent or Pending)
I will also need to figure out who received and sent the package
- Employee name
Please advise if I setup the tables correctly.
I will also need to query these info:
- all packages received 3 days ago
- how many packages an employee received and sent
- How many sent or pending
Thank you for your help.

How to track deleted records? I have a database that users login to and it tracks which records they make changes to but I do not have a way to track a deleted record. I read online about doing like an archive of the record to a table that will hold the deleted record and that made the most sense to me.

Hello Everyone,
I've been looking at all the fine db samples and advice provided in this forum and they are giving me a huge boost in my new job as a DB Admin. :D
Since this forum has a very active group and you guys know and done it all, ;) I thought I would ask if anyone out there has done or could give me an idea on how to buid the following db:
I need to create a db that will keep track of a specific item from the moment it comes in 'til it goes back out. This could be weeks in the process.
What happens is that this is a program where people donate old worned out wheel chairs and they get totally overhauled. As the chairs come in they need to be tracked from start to finish to see where they came from (Somewhere in the USA), what process it took to overhaul it (ItemID and Current location [Storage, Repair BIN, Repair Table, Completed Tabe, Outbound Table, En Route to Destination, etc] and status [For parts, fixable, paint room, repair room, completed]) and where they were donated to, a city in some foreign country (Africa, Asia, Mexico, South America, Etc.).
If someone has something I can use would be great, but if not any idea on how to do it best, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
René

Our office needs a way to track reports that are due to us, so I'm trying to build an Access database to do that. What happens is this...
We put out a weekly tasking document (called an AFCTO) every Friday that tasks our outside agencies (units) to do various things. Each task in the AFCTO directs a single unit to do a specific thing. Units may be tasked multiple times in the AFCTO (one-to-many relationship), but each task only applies to one unit.
Some tasks require the units to send us reports on the status of that task, while other tasks don't. The reports that are due can occur at different frequencies. For instance, some tasks require our units to send us reports weekly on Thursdays; other tasks may require reports to be sent to us monthly on the 1st; other tasks may require daily reporting.
Now, with all that said, we need a way to see what's due to us each day. What I would like is a report that displays what's due for this week, similar to this:
So far I have a very rough mockup of what the form should look like (fmAFCTOTasks in the attached db):
The user can type in the AFCTO Task Number of the task, the start and end datetime group, the unit assigned to that task, the task desc, what type of report is due, what triggers the report, and the frequency at which the report is due. Reports can have one of two triggers...
1) event driven (something happens that requires a report to be due), or
2) date driven (report is due on certain date or day(s)).
Obviously if a report is event-driven, then there will be no frequency or date/day associated with it. How to structure the tables and the form.

I am developing a database for a friend and have all the relationships,
tables, forms, queries and reports working well. I used the orders template to
build this and just made a few changes. I have an orders form with an orders details
subform that works beautifully. There is also customers table, employee table,
products and inventory table. The inventory table has product ID, units in stock and reorder level
as the only fields. I need an easy way to have the orders detail form decrease inventory as
items are ordered and also some sort of way to enter restock. Can anyone offer advice that a
beginner can understand in regard to this?
I wrote an update query that he can run that will subtract the qty ordered from the units on stock
for orders with order date >= whatever date he enters, but if he enters a date he's previously updated it will update those records again. I think this is not a good way to go but the only way I could accomplish. I have him using the same order entry form with customer name Restock to add items to inventory by putting an if then else statement in the before mentioned update query. This just adds to inventory if customer name="Restock" else the qty ordered is inventory units in stock -qty ordered.
I'm sure someone can suggest a better way. A friend mentioned dsum function but can't explain how to apply it in this instance. Thanks so much!!!!

I am looking to create something called a "transactional" database that tracks historical information.I want to track and keep a record of employees at my organization who have had disciplinary action. We currently have a 5 step approach leading to termination.Eg. Step 1: receive Letter #1 Step 2: receive letter #2 + manager meeting step 3: receive letter 3 + manager and director meeting, etc etc.
I believe this is transactional because for each employee, we would need to see when they received the letter in the past, and an employee may receive two or three "step 1 letter 1" notices due to whatever circumstance.I stumbled upon this database and I found the bottom part where you Add/Edit Employee is what I am looking to do...except I can't Design view or anything to see how all this cool stuff is done! The link is: access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=154187
Essentially, I want to create a user friendly database like the link above where a clerk/admin assistant can open Access, search for an employee by name or department or manager, and then be prompted to add information such as Letter #2 delivered, manager meeting occured, employee signature, etc.

I am designing a shipping container tracking system for my work and would like to know what the best design is for this.
There are many excel sheets that provide data on the status of containers along the supply chain i.e. shipping schedule, data from the logistics supplier showing status at the wharf, data for movements on our site etc.
Each container has a unique identifier according to what stock it carries and also a container no. designated by the shipping line. I was planning on use the first one as a primary key.
My first instinct was to have a main table that contained all of the information, with queries that updated the fields from the other data sheets.

:confused:
I have been working on a normalized db for the past few months and it works wonderfully. But now I need to find a way to create a form so that the rest of the company can update their data.
My Table has the 5 following fields. Also listed is an example of the types of data I have there
StoreID_Catagory_Customer Year_Month_MixPercentage
IN00001_Japanese_____2005_____Jul_______.01______
IN00001_Japanese_____2005_____Aug______.02______
IN00001_Japanese_____2005_____Sep______.01______
IN00001_Chinese______2005_____Jul_______.35______
IN00001_Chinese______2005_____Aug______.25______
IN00001_Chinese______2005_____Sep______.26______
IN00001_Japanese_____2006_____Jul_______.01______
IN00001_Japanese_____2006_____Aug______.02______
IN00001_Japanese_____2006_____Sep______.01______
IN00001_Chinese______2006_____Jul_______.35______
IN00001_Chinese______2006_____Aug______.25______
IN00001_Chinese______2006_____Sep______.26______
As you can see I have multiple StoreID's for one store, IN00001. My db goes up to IN00419 so it ends up displaying 29,664 records. There are 4 different categories (Japanese, Chinese, Local, and Other). Until now everything has been taken from a datasheet and put into an Update Query but now that other people have to quickly access the system I need a slick interface.
What I need is a way to have a form that can update the table and add new entries that looks like this in the form:
IN00001____2005________Jul__Aug__Sep__Nov__Dec__EC T.
Japanese MixPercentage__.01___.02__.01___.03__.01
Chinese Mix Percentage___.35___.25__.26___.33__.30
Local Mix Percentage_____.60___.70__.69___.62__.65
Other Mix Percentage_____.04___.03__.04___.02__.04
IN00001____2006________Jul__Aug__Sep__Nov__Dec__EC T.
Japanese MixPercentage__.01___.02__.01___.03__.01
Chinese Mix Percentage___.35___.25__.26___.33__.30
Local Mix Percentage_____.60___.70__.69___.62__.65
Other Mix Percentage_____.04___.03__.04___.02__.04
I hope this gives you a clearer picture. I need to be able to update 96 entries at a time (12months, 4 customer types, 2 years) but do it in an efficient manner. The table only has 5 fields so I need to figure out how to display multiple entries on the same form. I also need a way to add new entries. In other words for me to add another StoreID such as IN00420 then I would have to enter in a value for every field for 96 records in the table. When in reality I should only need to update the mix percentages since the months and years remain constant. HELP!!
Any help would be much appreciated. Due to the variable nature of the db I cannot establish very many one-to-one relationships. So therein lies another problem.

Hi,
I have a list of 500 PDA users, spread over 7 offices.
I want to keep an eye on what happens with the devices and their SIM-cards. As they are often swapped between offices and SIM-cards get lost.
I am pretty sure that I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Do you have any idea of a free/shareware tracking tool for PDA's and cell phones ?
Thanks in advance !

I'm creating a Gym Database and need to be able to track attendance for specific classes. I need to have a system in place allowing me to do a register for attendance for each activity.
I also need to be able to calculate fees based on attendance. So if a person attended Gym 5 times in the month (£5 per session) and then Swimming 3 times in the month (£2 per session). My system should automatically calculate this based on the attendance tracking.
Also: In the booking stage, I need to have a field telling me how many spaces are left on each activity. Say for example I'm booking Person 99 in for Swimming and there is only 11 places left I need the field to display 11 places left. After that booking it should update saying 10 places left because Person 99 is booked in.

Hi all,
I want to retrieve a set number of records from a table, using a query. I'm not sure of how to do this.
I can't use the ID, because the table gets its data replaced contantly by imports (so the ID doesn;t start at 1...)
I want to be able to retrieve, say, the first 25 records on that table.
Any help is appreciated

I am planning my new DB and am contemplating the best design. It will be used for warehouse stock rotation and control of pallets. I want to track each pallet (product/time in/time out etc) to each pallet space within the warehouse. There are a total of 400 pallet spaces or 'locations' as i will refer to them as.
Now, would it be possible for me to have a table set up for each location? Will access object to having 400 tables in my data base?? Is there a limit?
