Hi, Newbie problem. I want to display on a form the last entry or (record) from a particular field of a table (the date field of the last club event). I have set the Form Property of 'Data Entry' to 'Yes' to prevent the user from having to scroll through records to get to the next blank record. Could someone kindly give me a clue how to go about displaying that last record of the field. Thank you.
Hi, I don't want to abuse anybody's patience but I have yet a couple of other quick question about transaction table. I am using a summation query for the stock on hand where by keeping it simple: stock = sum of movement in the table. What hapens if a simple function is used to calculate the stock. ie: Stock=[Qty Declared-(Qty Declared-Qty Received)-Rejects]-Qty Allocated
All those Qty belong to the same field then I can't just run a sum.
My other concern is that: Qty Declared Qty Received Qty Rejected
are three values entered at the same time but in the same (transaction type) field so data like the date would need to be entered 3 times for each item received?
Thank you very much for your time and patience again,
I currently have a form to manage inventory. On the left side of the form, I have a list box that shows all of the items in the database and finds the record on the form based on the selection.
I would like to have toggle boxes or something underneath the list box that when clicked will sort the box by vendor and item and another that when clicked will sort the list by part number and then select the record on the form based on the selection at that time.
I have no idea how to accomplish this...can anyone help?
I have a Table ASSET_COMBO that links to the above tables.
I have a form to create amend an ASSETS table. The form uses combo fields to filter the options available to the user. I.E the User Picks Manufacturer then selects from list of Asset Types provided by that Manufacturer, then selects from list of Models.
I want to create a form to allow create and amend records on the ASSET_COMBO Table.
The problem I have is that I want to ensure that there are no duplicates on ASSET_COMBO Table. I know that I can Select Multiple keys from the table with no duplicates allowed. But from what I have read this can cause problems. Is there a simple way that I can detect that a query on the ASSET_COMBO Table has returned a valid record or has not found a record.
I am trying to use a query to search 2 many to many relationships but i keep getting duplicate results because each record is slightly different.
I have a table with cameras, another users and another formats. I have a table linking cameras to users and another linking cameras to formats so it looks somthing like this:
When i add all the tables into a query i get loads of results as expected because i get a result for every possible combination.
What i want is when i search for all cameras that are suitable for a user who is a beginner is to get just a list of unique cameras. When i do that search at the moment i get a duplicate record for each different format the camera can do.
I have a query which is compiling monthly transaction of fee, the students paying through voucher. To every month the query is building records for students (Grouped), my problem is i have to show the arrears in the same query which would be on minus/plus of paid amount from actual fee both are in this query i can populate the arrears by simply subtracting both fields but the thing is that i am looking for a arrears which would be the adding total of previous arrears as to date transaction.
I'm developing a database to handle various aspects of quality control reporting. I've got a working structure however, i think, i have gone off the track slightly... First I'll show you part of the structure:
(please see attached .jpg)
(hope that makes sence)... so effictively I have a many to many relationship.
I have forms for each of these entities (frm_parts, frm_Suppliers). The problem i have noticed is you can assign the part a supplier in frm_Parts but it does not appear in the transaction table as a record. Is this because i have based the field "Part Supplier" (a combo box) in frm_Parts on a query? If this is not the right way to go about it. how do i go about it?! I have an idea... on this.. If i create a new combo box on the form I can use the wizard to select the supplier ID from the Supplier table (i believe) and "store" it in the transaction table... i think! But I want the user to select the Supplier by drop down list showing Supplier Number and Supplier Name.. not the ID. Any help is much appriciated!
Next job...
I have a form where I would like the user to be able to enter, for example, a Supplier number and see if a record of the Supplier exists yet. Next I want the user to be able, assuming the Supplier record exists, to search for a record of a Part number from that supplier. Next I want them to be able to "select" that part and be able to open a form with a new record using that part number (this form holds details of a report rasied against that part). See what I'm getting at? I've had a go at this but it's been a couple of years since i did any detailed work on an Access database so somethings are a bit hazy! I'm not asking you to do this for me, but I would much appriciate some pointers on how to create this sort of thing!
If I have four date Fields in a query, Astart, Bstart, Cstart, and Dstart and want to have a calculated field to find the latest date for each record how would I do that? I have tried things like:
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
I'm trying to make a form with a single text box that will search for the contents of the text box in a table. Once it finds a match, it moves the record into another table. Anyone know how to do this?
After a lot of searching, printing and highlighting I want to double check that I have the right idea.
I have a simple inventory control database. From reading the forum, it seems the best approach is to drop the detail lines table of the purchase order (incoming) and the detail lines table of the sale invoices (outgoing) and make one table for all transactions.
The Transactions Table would also keep records of inventory adjustments from inventory counts, etc. Each transaction would be given a type so I know in which direction the stock count moves in (adding or subtracting) when I sum the totals for each item.
Otherwise, I need union queries to ensure all tables are considered in my calculations.
My database is simple (thankfully). Let me know that I am on the right track I like the solution but like any new student, a little reassurance is appreciated.
I have a table called login and inside that table is three columns: username, password and admin.
I have the username saved in a global variable called GsUser. How can i find the record in that table with the same Username as the string stored in GsUser and use that record for an if statement which sees if the value of the admin column is "Yes". Im trying to do it using VBA. Im not using a form where everything is bounded.
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've got two tables, both are indexed by customer ID, with a series of dates against the customer ID. One has a list of all dates a customer was visited, the other is a list of dates where activity happened on the customer account
I want to get a list of the dates when the customer was visited but where no activity happened on the customer account, i.e. where there is a customer visit date on the customer visit table but no record for that date on the activity table.
How do I do that? I can find all dates where was a date was on both tables, but how to find where its on one but not the other
I'm currently busy with something for my thesis as a student and I need to use Access for this. I'm not too new at access, I know how to do the very basics, let's say on the level of [if field contains *"text*", return x].
However I am struggling right now on something that shouldn't be too hard... I could do it immediately in Excel if there werent millions of rows..I have 2 tables. Table 1 regards a list of patent publication numbers (eg. WO2012024604A3) and additional data (publication date, title, etc), only the publication number matters for me now.
Now what I'd like to do is to create a third table which has for each of [Table 1].[Publication number]:
Column 2) A count of how many times the [Table 1].[Publication number] is found in [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] ...
Column 3) In case a patent is cited more than once, return the [table 2].[publication Number Citing Patents] value of the earliest citing patent (so with the lowest Publication Date value).
For Column 2 I had expected it to be an easy count(iif( [Table 2].[Cited Refs - Patent] = "*"&[Table 1].[publication number]&"*")) command but apparently it's harder than that..
I've got 2 tables, same structure, one [T-temp-Target] holds number of training units split by module a trainee needs to finish the course, the other [T-temp-Actual] holds what they've completed so far.
Both tables have structure TRAINEEID MODCODE CountOfUnits
I'm trying to find the modules that they've not done yet so I can add up the units for them, only modules that have been started are recorded in the table of what they've done [T-temp-Actual], modules they haven't started yet aren't included in it. Here's the SQL
Code: SELECT [T-temp-Target].TRAINEEID, [T-temp-Target].MODCODE, [T-temp-Actual].MODCODE FROM [T-temp-Actual] INNER JOIN [T-temp-Target] ON ([T-temp-Actual].TRAINEEID = [T-temp-Target].TRAINEEID) AND ([T-temp-Actual].MODCODE = [T-temp-Target].MODCODE) WHERE ((([T-temp-Actual].MODCODE) Is Null));
I wan to build a form with a blank text box (txtbx1) where users can enter a part description, this will search records in Table1>part and return a list of parts that match the textbox input.
Here's what I've done -
txtbx1 - property sheet - control source - part event - on enter - ...
I've built an expression -
[Table1]![part] = [txtbx1]
hoping that this would match records 1n Table1 to txtbx1
I have a database that I use to put in orders for our shop and keep track of our part informations as well as paint and packing materials. Everything works good on this but I am trying to create a table for adjusting quantities on hand for packing material based on the part quantities and for adjusting paint in stock based on information given to me after the job is run.
There is already a relationship between parts and packing material as well as parts and paint. When I put an order in I would like to have it adjust out that many packing materials that are related to that part. Once a job is run I need to be able to adjust out the amount of paint used.
For the paint side of this I want it to track the paint used by order, we are trying to get a grasp on how much paint we are using for parts so it is important for me to know how much and when.
I am thinking I need a table that connects paint to orders and has quantities in it, then create a query and do the calculations from there... I do not know how to accomplish that but it sounds like it could be right...
I wish to open a form based on the transaction table populate one of the foreign key fields with a selected value from a combo box from the switch board (with going to a mainform&subform). I know how to get the value of the combo box on the switchboard. I just know how to then store this value in the foreign key field. stSelectedCustomer = Forms![Switchboard].[CustomerID] gives me the value from the combo box on the switchboard. I then want to open the transaction form to open a new record and have Customer ID on this form be the stSelectedCustomer storing this value in the transaction table when the user enters values in the other fields.
I'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.
I have a table where csv files get imported to on a daily basis. The key fields I am working with are a supply number and date. The problem I have is that sometimes the csv file will contain information that is correcting/updating information held in the table. This is creating duplicated records.I need to either create a query to find records that have the same supply number and date or find a way of overwriting the records in the table with the new data.
