Query Needed To Solve Candidate Skills Database
Jul 30, 2007
Hi there,
The recruitment database I have designed for work is okay in the main except for where I need to filter candidates depending on their skill sets. What I need to be able to do is filter candidates that possess ALL skills selected in a multiselect listbox...
Table structure runs as: Candidates (many) linked to Job Role (one) (because candidates can only have one job title (in theory anyway)
Candidates linked to Skills table via junction table (candidate having many skills / one skill belonging to many candidates blah blah)...I'm sure this set up is as normalised as I can get (I aint no expert tho)...
My solution so far (suggested by another forum) was 3 listboxes on a form that runs like...
ListBox 1 = Job Role (Manager, Team Leader, Clerk, etc - set to SINGLE SELECT because an employee can only have ONE job title (supposed to anyway LOL)...
ListBox2= Skills (Payroll,Audit,Taxation, etc - SET TO MULTISELECT because employees can have more than one skill)...
ListBox3 = Candidates (populated by making selections in ListBoxes 1 and 2)
It all works well but is VERY slow as I was told to use make table, append queries and quite a bit of VBA to make the WHERE clauses as SQL statements, etc
I've searched high and low all over the net and have found things that come close but I'm just not adept enough to work it out (I started Access late in life). I feel I need some kind of subquery that first of all finds all candidates that e.g. have ALL 3 skills selected in Listbox 2 (creating a recordset of one row per skill meaning each candidate is listed in the recordset for as many skills selected and then filtering again with a count function that only displays candidates with a count of 3 skills - this subquery would then be used to populate Listbox 3 -
Sorry if I've overcomplicated this but it seems such a simple thing to and I'm getting a lot of pressure at work having being trying to solve this for weeks...
Any help putting me in the right direction or if you know of any similar example databases that would help me learn more would be much appreciated
Regards

Hi All,
I am slightly concerened that people seem to think that developing access solutions using access seem to be something of a joke job compared to doing something say of something of the sql server/oracle flavours - obviously this depends on what is needed etc but I often wonder whether its worth keep my access skills fresh and up to date. I always find that wherever i work there is a dear need to work smartly make customised tools which is where access, vba, and excel really tend to shine - but i also wonder what they are worth in the IT industry.
Any comments regarding the above would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on a school project called employee skills. I have a table of skills, each has a check box, which if checked is true. I am trying to write a query that will find who has a specific skill.

I am having the same issue.
Can't seem to find a solution to my problem here or in a few reference books I have on my shelf here at work.
I inherited several access databases from my predecessor a while back and although I’ve fixed most of the pre-existing problems and re-programmed most of the queries and reports at this point I’m stumped on one issue. One of the access files forces me to save every query, form or report I create no matter what. If I create a query because I want to do a quick one time query I can’t just close it and say no to saving when I’m done, I have to save it and then go back and delete it if I don’t need it anymore. I can’t track down any setting or code anywhere in this one access file that would cause this behavior to be different than all of the other dozen or so databases I inherited. This becomes a big issue in the case of if I accidentally do a major change I didn’t mean to that the undo command doesn’t correct, if I go to close it saves the query if it’s been saved before and makes my error permanent and I have to go dig out the nightly backup to undo the mistake.
Any thoughts on where to find or change this setting would be great as I’ve run out of ideas on my own.

Following program i have written in access. what it does is from the query i have created picks up the sizes of doors. calculates hit1 by qty then it needs to put the value into another table alongside the correct sizes. the problem im facing is how do i update the value into another table. heres the listing.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim Db As Database
Dim Rs1 As Recordset
Dim Rs2 As Recordset
Dim lf, rh, drw1, drw2, drw3, drw4 As String
Dim q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, qty As Integer
Dim hit1, hit2, hit3, hit4, hit5, hit6 As Integer
Private Sub Command70_Click()
Dim rs1fieldcount As Integer
Dim counter As Integer
''Assign a mdb
''+++++++++++++++
Set Db = CurrentDb
counter = 0
Set Rs1 = Db.OpenRecordset("custdoorsize")
Set Rs2 = Db.OpenRecordset("cusdoorsbase", dbOpenDynaset)
rs1fieldcount = Rs1.Fields.Count
If Rs2.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "No record found in query"
Else
this is where the value will come from
Do Until Rs2.EOF
If Rs2.Fields!left_door_size <> Empty Then
lf = Rs2.Fields!left_door_size
hit1 = 1
q1 = hit1 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
If Rs2.Fields!Right_door_size <> Empty Then
rh = Rs2.Fields!Right_door_size
hit2 = 1
q2 = hit2 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw1_size <> Empty Then
drw1 = Rs2.Fields!draw1_size
hit1 = 1
q3 = hit3 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw2_size <> Empty Then
drw2 = Rs2.Fields!draw2_size
hit4 = 1
q4 = hit4 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw3_size <> Empty Then
drw3 = Rs2.Fields!draw3_size
hit5 = 1
q5 = hit5 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw4_size <> Empty Then
drw4 = Rs2.Fields!draw4_size
hit6 = 1
q6 = hit6 * Rs2.Fields!qty
End If
Do While counter <> rs1fieldcount
This is where it finds the correct sizes where it will display the qty value
If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = lf Then
Rs1.Edit
Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q1
End If
If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = rh Then
Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q2
End If
If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw1 Then
Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q3

Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q5
End If
If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw4 Then
Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q6
End If
counter = counter + 1
Loop
If Rs2.EOF Then
Set Rs1 = Nothing
Set Rs2 = Nothing
Set Db = Nothing
MsgBox "Finished ....."
Exit Sub
Else

I am fairly new to access and am curious if this is possible. I have a x number of procedures, I will use 4 as an example, with those 4 procedures I have a reference table that has certain devices for those 4 procedures that need to be compared against the device charges. ie
Procedure
1A
2B
3C
4D
Procedure Device Reference
1A has AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD
2B has AAA,EEE,FFF,GGG
3C has AAA,HHH,III,JJJ
4D has FFF,KKK,LLL,MMM
Device Charges has
AAA,III.LLL.ZZZ
Is there maybe a case statement that I can use to have access try to solve for the best combination of the devices with the procedure to give me the most matches possible and not match say AAA with 3C and LLL with 4D giving 2 out of 4 matches, instead of the result AAA with 1A,III with 3C, and LLL with 4D, and flagging ZZZ as not a match or it matches 3 out of 4
Im not sure if this is the best place for this but any help is greatly appreciated and if more information is needed please let me know thank you for your time in advance

I have looked all over for an answer, and I think there may have been a few examples on this forum that may have helped, but I only have Access 97, so can't open the example databases to fully understand!
Bascially, in the database I am trying to set up, I have Museum items, for instance a photo, and the database users would like to have a list of the names associated with that photo. (obviously for some items there will be no people associated with it, and varying numbers of people for other items!).
I need some way of having the 'associated people' data displayed on the item information form (or somewhere handy). And I need it to have the flexibility to account for differing numbers of associated people. Would using a subform solve this? And if I use a subform, where will that data then be stored? In its own table??

I have constructed a seven table database for dealing with holiday cottages.
The seven tables are:
Bookings
Cottages
Customers
Ratings
Owners
Regions
Sales Reps
I have created the 7 tables and created the primary keys (BookingID,CottageID,CustomerID,RatingsID,OwnersID ,RegionsID,RepID)
The ratings table because cottages come under different ratings (Family, Sporting etc..).
I need to create a form which
*Adds a new booking, and also adds the new customers details
*Checks the avalibility of the cottage for the chosen week
*allows the user to choose a rating from a combo box, which then filters the cottages availible for selection in that category.
If anyone could help me with this I would be very grateful, I have emailed my lecturer but he is not replying and the assignment needs to be in on the 12th!

While searching for Access help through Google, I found your forum which has greatly helped me in building my database in Access. I got all answers through your forum for many of my doubts and ‘How To’s. I thank all the members for their excellent and simple way of explaining for a novice like me.
As to the Database I built, it is almost complete and working fine. I have built a switchboard with menu choices. I have distributed this to all my colleagues and they are using fine.
I have three problems still to be addressed. I have tried to protect my database tables, forms etc through the security wizard, user permissions etc. But nothing is working. I have hidden all tables, forms etc. and unclicked the ‘Display database window’ in Startup so that only the switchboard is visible. I have also changed the switchboard properties to cover the entire screen and no maximize/minimize/close button. When a user double-clicks the desktop icon the database file opens with the switchboard menu. There is an Exit button in the switchboard which the user can click to he can click the close button of the Access window. Apart from this, the user can do nothing to corrupt the tables, forms etc., so I believed. However, one colleague clicked the ‘View – Design View’ in the Access menu bar and the Switchboard became ready for modification. Is there a method to block the View – Design View’ option in the Access menu bar?
My second problem is that we want a new database file first of January every year. Is there a method to create a new DB file with the same table, form and settings from within Switchboard? (The only option I found was to copy the DB file to another location, delete all records and rename it for the new year). Is there any other procedure?
My third problem is that I designed a Crosstab Query as given in the Help menu with criteria LIKE “*” & [Enter any character to search by: ] & “*” but when I execute the query it displays all records containing the character entered. This is not what I want. My search criteria everytime changes (it is text based). So I am unable to save Query form with a specific criteria as it will execute only defined parameters. Is there a way to make Query form where any user input (i.e. any word or number) is taken for search?
Shall be grateful for reply.

Hi, All
I am designing a database to keep track of part prices and their trends, the part numbers and all their related information are stored in a "Unified Parts Database" containing all pertinent information about the parts, their vendor, current price, material, sub-material etc...Now in the new database I am making I wanted to have one table that has these field.
The tables name currently is "Main", fields are as follows:
MainID (Primary Key)
PartNumber
PartDescription
VendorID
UnitAmount
CurrentPrice
Notes
ApprovedBy
ApprovalNumber
ReasonForChange
and then I have a "Prices" table which stores the different price changes for each part number:
PriceID (PKey)
PartNumber
Price
PriceChanged
now I what I am trying to do is have the "Main" table pull all the part numbers and their descriptions from the Unified Parts Table which is a linked table and I am not sure how to get it to fill all this stuff automatically inside a table not a form, would a "Main" Query be the correct way to go and completely skip the "Main" table??
Brain hurt......

Ok here is what was going on. I have an option group, I would select an option,
type in my search criteria into a text box, and click an event button. The program
would then search my database for that criteria and grab the emails of the individuals
meeting that criteria. A message box would then pop up, listed all the emails it had grabbed
I would click ok (my sendobject command is set to edit the email) and at this point instead of
opening the email to edit the program would crash.
After scratching my head for several days I moved on and have come back to this problem again
two weeks later, and within 15min I realized what was wrong. I guess it is good to walk away
and come back fresh sometimes.
What is happening is that the program does not account for entries in my database that do NOT
have an email.
Example, let us say we want to search a state...lets use the state of GA for example. If I have 5 entries
from GA with email addresses and one entry from GA without an email address, it will crash the program.
My only guess is that the way the program is setup is that it is grabing whatever data is in the email location.
It that location is blank, its grabing blank and crashing the program.
I need a way to discard the entries it searches that don't have email addresses or something...
Please help, this is the last item for this project.

Hey guys , I was wondering if you can help me with this one cos I am clueless. I am in charge of updating this website which sells stationeries, office equipments etc. Well the catalogue in our website is kinda messy since there are lot of the product items inside the catalogue page which has no images.It is embarassing for those customers who wants to buy a product but couldnt see the picture of the items. For example , http://www.mellon.com.sg/catalogue/s_searchresult.asp?searchby=category2&searchfield=laminating%20materials.
The product items are generated from the Access database where I also included a column field in the database called "Picture" where those product items with images have checked(tick) in the box and those without images are unchecked(no tick) in the box I am not sure if I should filter anything or set up any criteria for the pictures from the database. I need help as i am not a total expert in Access

Hi Access World Forums,
I'm an audio/video technician at a college and wish to use Access for a simple camera booking system, but do not have time to go through all the extensive help menus and tutorials about this program, and none I have viewed seemed to help.
I want four columns in the table. First, the user inputs a student ID number. Now my first problem is that I want the student name to appear in the 2nd column after entering their number. I don't know where to create the list of names or how to link them to their student ID numbers.
My second problem is I would like the 4th column simply to display the date seven days from the current one (as in whenever the db is used) for the return date without having to input it manually.
Any help towards these 2 problems would be most appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm using Access 2003.

Hi,
I want to make an access database but Im struggling with the relations a bit.
I understand the one-to-many and many-to-many concept but seems like there is more then that
I want to make a database that keeps track of things we lend.
I have several items with different properties we lend out:
eg
TANK
-ID
-Volume
-Weight
MACHINE
-ID
-hours
-fueltype
...
I made the following tables to keep track of it:
RENT
-ID
-Customer
-...
One-to- many relationship between these
RENTLINE
-ID
-RENT_ID
-Item
My problem lies with this Item.
I want this Item to have a relation with the ID of the different items we lend out. there needs to be a one-to-many relation here.
one rentline can exist of one TANK OR of one MACHINE.
A TANK or a MACHINE can exist on many orderlines.
So I made 2 one to many relationships from Rentline to the id's of Tank and Machine
the problem is that Access does not let me fill in the rentline with the id of a item. If I fill in the ID of a TANK it says a ID of a machine is needed and vice-versa.
I tried to solve it with an intermediate ITEM table that looks like this :
ITEM
-ID
-Sort ( Tank or Machine)
-ItemID (Id of the tank OR the Machine)
But this generates the same issue as directly in the rentline...
I guess this is pretty common stuff Im asking here but its confusing me like hell :(
thanks in advance for all advice

To receive data from a form (eg name, email, pin number, results etc)
check wether a particular data (eg pin number) is in a specified table in the database
insert data to the database at the point where the pin number exists, if it exists
of course the language is ADO (ASP/Vbscript)

Hi,
i need to design a database but am abit unsure the best way to go about it and am looking for sum thoughts and suggestions.
I need to create a database for part numbers and competitior cross references, however the problem i have is were we list one number a competitior could list upto 5, and where we list 5 numbers a competitior could list one, so there could be literally thousands of duplications per competitior both ways around.
for instance we list DG897, our main competitor would list AB458, AB459, AB 487 etc. Basically the part number is a car part, and we say one part number fits serveral vechicles, but out competitior says its one part per vechicle. (sorry for the poor explaination)
has nebody came up against a database where the possibilty for duplications is so high before and how did they go bout designing the tables, I am far far from a regular user of access, however am very keen to learn.
hope you all can help

Hi
I am quite new to access and i can grasp things quite easily.
Basically i am make a stock control data base for a food company. I am making it so theres an order table and a stock table. Basically i want to know how to change the Quantity avalible in the stock table fom the orders table.
I dont know if i have explained that very well. But basically i have related the product name in the stock table to the product name in the order table. So i can add a number so that that the quantity of the product will change on the stock table.
If there are any easier ways of doing this rather than having 2 tables it would be useful
Ive tried all types of things and i cant get it to work. Any help would be very much appriceated.
Thank You

I'm kinda lost in here so I'd appreciate some help in pointing me in the right direction please. I've no doubt the answers are out there but I'm having trouble finding what I need, probably because I don't know how to frame my questions!
Basically the story is this - there are three guys covering various aspects of the business, they each visit three separate locations - all guys visit all locations. We have made a "big plan" that has 14 key deliverables in the locations as a "region" .
For each Key Deliverable there will be Actions, some Actions will be done in all locations, some might only be needed in one location. Each owner will describe the Action and link it to the Key Deliverable it supports.
What we want to do are things like
Take Location 1 and Guy A and show all the things he is doing to support Key Deliverable X.
or
Show all the Actions in Location 2 that are being done to deliver Key Deliverable Y by all Guys.
That sort of thing - progress reporting and identifying where we have nothing happening to support a Key Deliverable or too many actions in one Location etc
We have all our plans in Excel spreadsheets at the moment, each guy fills in a sheet and at present the idea is that we copy and paste it into the mother of all spreadsheets to present to the Gods - it's not happened yet because it's clumsy and well, it's my job to present it and I thought "there's gotta be a better way!" I can import the sheets into Access but then it all gets a little tricky and I run out of tallent.
OK so if you've read this far you're wondering if I have any idea what I'm talking about when it comes to Access! Well I am pretty much self taught and rusty but I can see that Access could help us get organised and
My limitations - I'm using standard Access 2007, I doubt corportate IT security would allow me to add in any useful plug ins or upgrades etc.
Am I using the right tools? I'm limited to MS Office really so I mean should I stick to Excel or carry on pursuing an Access solution?
Thanks for reading this far :-)
