I have a database where students use a Form to sign in for computer help. I would like to have a queue displayed on another screen that shows the students what position they are in for help. How would I go about doing that? I thought that having a query on a seperate screen (with no keyboard lol) would be a good way of displaying the student's order, provided I can get a query screen to update automatically or refresh say every 30 seconds. Is this possible, or am I way off base?
I have a Navigation form which contains a subform and on that subform is a datasheet.
Navigation Form -> Navigation Subform -> MyForm -> MyDatasheet
I have been having a hard time getting the datasheet to update - I've tried several methods (refresh, requery, repaint, etc). Even pressing the "Refresh All" button on access takes 1 or 2 refreshes before my data is updated.
i'm very new to access and its functions. i need to run/update query, say weekly, and generate a report to be dispatched via email. is there any way i can do that automatically, preferably triggered by system calendar?
Behind a command button, i have 3 queries being run. 2 of these queries are append queries, copying the specified record into another table (criteria set to ID of the main form) and the other query is to delete the record from the current table once it has been copied. This is then followed by another delete (not query)
When each of these are run, boxes pop up asking if you're sure you want to do it. I was wondering if it would be possibly to bring up my own box to ask if the user is sure they want to continue, and when they click yes, all the questions that the query asks about wanting to do it, are automatically chosen as yes.
I.E there is only one option box, yes and no, and no others appear.
hey all, In my database (For a doctors practice) I have individual patient records with information about them on there. There are 5 boxes showing the current medication, if any, that they are on. The form is all linked up and so when I go through each record for each patient all the data changes as it should. I have a seperate table with all of the drug information on it and I want to be able to click on the box on the patient form (One of the boxes that has one of their medications in) and I want it to be able to automatically put the name of that drug in a search query and bring up the results in a report or form view. Is it possible to do this?
So far I have managed to create a control button on the pateint data form and when clicked, it asks for a a parameter value i.e. the name of the drug. I'd like to be able to miss out this step and for it to automatically enter the name of the drug from the text box into the serach criteria.
I have created a parameter query that uses a combo box form. The people who will be using it when completed do not want to see the results in query form. Is there a way to have the query update a form or report without having to create and reformat each time?
I have a main form which has 2 subforms. The main form is the name of the Student. The first subform is the data entry form. It has 2 fields. One for the Trimester - a drop down which has "1, 2, 3" listed. And the second field is the benchmarks (again drop down). Now the second subform is a more elaborate way of viewing (only for viewing purposes) which standards have been chosen for which trimester. Now this form's control source is a Crossstab query, which updates the Trimester field for each of the benchmarks for the particular student.
Now my problem is I am trying to update this subform which is for viewing purposes only, automatically, so that the moment a benchmark is chosen on the other subform, the [trimester] field automatcially gets updated on this form. All the benchmarks are listed on this form (view form) and a field which is the trimester field. Data entry is not allowed in this form. So the information has to get updated automatically. It does when I close and open the form, but thats not how it should work.
I tried everything I thought possible (requery, refresh, a button to click) but couldn't get the form to update.
Please help! I would really appreciate if you could help me find a solution.
I have a form with tab set one tab called "Enter Receipt" and another that houses 2 queries called "Reconcile". My issue is when I open that form, I have an On Current Macro to go to NEW record for my Enter Receipt, but I am getting a delay while the query status bar runs the other queries. I was hoping not to have those ran until i enter the parameters and hit the run button on that "reconcile tab".
Everything else works, i just need the queries to keep from running when i load the form. my queries i moved from EDITED to NO LOCKS thinking the On Current new record may affected them, not change in delay.
I am using Access 2007. I have an ODBC source feeding data into a table, to which I made a crosstab query that displays the useful data from that source. I need a way to add data(new field), using a form, that is a associated with the lines in the query. I've tried creating another table that uses the sample ID as the primary key, but I need it to automatically create a new row for each query line. Is there a way to do this, or better way to add data to a query. Examples are below.
A field in a table can be populated by a lookup up but it has to be done manually or with a form.A "new" table can be created with a query that matches the data.
Is it possible to skip these steps and create a field that automatically populates with the data from another table based on other common data?I can do this in Excel but not sure it can be done in Access.
Is it possible for a query to automatically get updated each time a table is added. For example I am looking at prices and each month a new table of information is added for that month and I use a query to view each month next to each other. Is there a way that each time I add a table the query will automatically update?
Basically, if Calendar date > Date(), if Calendar Date not Saturday or Sunday, weekday(Calendar date<>1 and <>7), AND Calendar Date not in (Holidays table).Then repeat the last not = 0 value of MyValue. I thought of changing the default value but the value is already 0, while default is null + I need to set the default value under certain conditions.
I use Access 2013. Is there an easy way to do the following: I have a contract that starts on eg 01/07/2015. Tenant has to pay 100 each month. Is there a way to create a query/table/... where access automatically makes a due date? EG: Joe needs to pay me 100 each month, starting 01/01/2015 until 31/12/2018.
This means:
01/01/2015 - due 100 from Joe 01/02/2015 - due 100 from Joe ... 01/12/2018 - due 100 from Joe
I am hoping to create a field name in a query that will change every month. Right now the filed name is qryTechQuintileMonth-7.am_quintile. this designates that the data is for October 2012. There are 6 other fields named similarly for Nov 2012 through April 2013.
Is there a way to name these fields with the proper month-year (mmm-yy) so they automatically update each month?
I am trying to create a form button that will automatically email each row of a query result to myself. At first the VBA code worked fine with a standard query. However when I use it with a query that contains a reference to a combobox form such as "<=[Forms]![Reminder]![Monthsleft].[Value] And >=0" I get the 3061 run-time error and "Too few parameters. Expected 1." I have included the VBA code below.
Private Sub Command9_Click() Dim MyDb As DAO.Database Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset Dim sToName As String Dim sSubject As String Dim sMessageBody As String

If you intend to renew the lease, terms and conditions will need to be submitted for ECC for approval (regardless of changes or not in lease rates). If the terms have yet to be confirmed, it is important to begin the negotiation process as soon as possible with a target to provide the ECC submission at least two months prior to the commencement date of the renewed lease. To ensure sufficient time for ECC approval before the contract expiry date, please prepare the ECC paper and obtain necessary endorsements. Submission details can be found here. The ECC submission template and PSD Questionnaire could be found from this link
I am giving two tables and I need to create a macro that automatically updates these tables depending on the value of a Yes/No field. If it's No, it's in the 1st table TableOne, if it's Yes it automatically updates to TableTwo.
So, the best way I saw to go about is to set up an append query and then create a macro that runs it
So my tables have the values FirstName, LastName and isValid (more but keeping it short)
So for my append query, I put TableTwo in the pop up I get. Then, where it asks for the field I put it
I do this for all (it was autocompleted except the Criteria field). I tried to keep Criteria with data only for isValid but that didn't work. I wrote it for all the field names, still didn't work. Whenever I click run it says it'll append 0 rows.
I want the system to automatically log off if user has not used it for 5 min. I am not sure how to detect that no button is pressed/ mouse has not moved.
I have a table that pulls data from a linked text file daily with an append query. The data pulled is RecDate, Description, Count, Code, Type and Category.
I'd like to pull the first two characters from the Description field to insert into the code field.
Also, every days data should have a record for each code A, BS, E, M, N, O, and RB.
If it doesn't, I'd like to automatically add a record with that code.
In our company, passwords expire every 90 days (NO EXCEPTIONS) for DB2. This means that all my linked tables can't be accessed. There are many other users using the DB's and when I have to reset my password, I get locked out a lot because I can't seem to re-link the tables fast enough. It also seems that "refreshing" the tables from the Linked Table Manager doesn't work very well.
