Question About Creating Table Data From Incumbent Selections
Feb 26, 2007
I am trying to develop in MS Access 2003. I have a database which generates sales quotations and i want to develop it further to use for other purposes such as generating purchase orders.
I currently have a table for parent data, such as company name, and a sub table for quotations. One company could have more than one quotation. At the moment I am manually filling 'TblQuoteItems' with line items for each quotation.
What I would like to do is have pre-populated tables with items which can be added into a quotation. Then, on selection and generating a quot, is for access to take that data and copy it into another table from where i will be able to run some other queries.
Any advice on how to achieve this grateully received
I work in a school where teachers have to archive their assessments and other documents monthly. Currently they email them to a set email address but I was wondering if it would be possible for me to make something with access whereby they can do this. I'd like to make a form where they selected their name and then attached a file, this file would then be saved in an area I would have assigned that persons name to, does this make sense? I want it to be very simple so just a name section from a dropdown then a file upload section and done.
I have an access database that I use to manage my car dealership, part of it holds data of a stock vehicles, another aspect is invoicing.As part of the invoicing form, I have a part exchange vehicle section which creates a new record in the part exchange table.
What I would like to be able to do is when a new vehicle is added to the part exchange vehicle table it automatically adds it to the main vehicle table so it shows as a stock vehicle.
I did a query based on a table. I deleted some records from my new query and when I went back to the original table the same data had been deleted from there too. Help.
I am creating a table that is a master list of all of my company's product. Each "customer" that we have will always be ordering the same items, but not all of the items that we have available. I need a way to go through the master list and click a yes or no and have that item added to the "customer's list of items on a new table.
I need to create a sublist for each "customer" like individual shopping cats for each customer. These individual lists need to link back to the master list in case of product changes, description changes, and cost changes.
I would like to create a form where the end user can type in a product number, description, or manufacturer number and have that item added to the "customer's" list.
I am creating a form for data entry into my main table. It shows all the fields including a name, date, id number etc.
I am trying to put a subform on the form containing a query. The query has two filter parameters fed from two unbound boxes on the main form (date and name). Their purpose is to filter records on the query to just show those for one person on one day. It also calculates a duration based on a start and end time. The query results are ok.
I can't get the query to display properly in the subform.
Subform Properties/data/source object is set to the query name. I'm told i have to link the master fields and child fields but when I try I get the error 'can't build a link between unbound forms'. I thought all that was necessary to bind forms was for there to be a common field between the form and query? Both contain fields from the main table including date, name, start time and end time etc.
I've been able to navigate a lot on my own, but there is one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I have 1 form and 1 table. I have the form set up so that you can enter data, and then press a button, and it will "save" and refresh the form for a new entry. However, I want to be able to pull that entry back up in the form, and fill out additional fields later on.The form is set to data entry = yes because I do want the form to open up as brand new each time.
To sum up my question. I want a text box and search button at the top of my form. When you type an ID number in the text box, and then press search, I want access to populate my form with the information in my data table associated with that ID number.
If I type in the number 1234 and hit search. I want my form to autopopulate with the data in the row for ID number 1234 (all the fields I have already populated). So by searching 1234, the name, phone, background info, etc that is populated in the row will appear.
i'm in the process of creating an Access database to import data in text files and then export the data as fixed width text files, this is now working fine
My next step is to be able to setup an "Archive" Table which will hold all the data i have imported across multiple import proceudres for the last 30 days, i then want to be able to "De-Dupe" any files i import against this to ensure i never load duplicate data.
This must be pretty common but I cann't figure it out.
There is a listbox that multiple selections are allowed. This listbox is bounded with a table field. All selections must be stored. I don't mind if each selection is stored as a different record.
I've created a ComboBox and would like one of my selections: "Met" to be converted into a number value: "10" within the related field on the table.I've come up with the expression: =IF([Initial Review Q1]="Met",0,10)
Control Source accepts the expression, however when I go back to Form View and select "Met" access chimes and states: "Control can't be edited it's bound to the expression =if([Initial Review Q1]="met",0,10)".
I am trying to delete a specific part from multiple BOMs in my database.
I have a table of the BOMs that I want to look in. I called this table PartTable. I also linked my database table SYSADM.REQUIREMENT which contains all the requirement parts for all of our BOMs.
So I am wanting to delete only part number 123XX from each of the BOMs in my PartTable.
I am able to select the records with:
Code: SELECT SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.* FROM SYSADM_REQUIREMENT INNER JOIN PartTable ON SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_BASE_ID = PartTable.PART_ID WHERE (((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_TYPE)="M") AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_BASE_ID)=[PartTable].[PART_ID]) AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_LOT_ID)="0") AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.PART_ID)="123XX"));
Now how do I delete these same records.
I am getting error saying I have to select a table to delete from....
So I'm trying to populate a table based on selections I make within a form.
The form is based of a query that pulls a new product category that needs to be added to my first reference table for products.
The form shows all the new unique product codes, and there is a drop down box with product categories whose source is also the first reference table, so a new code would be:
'JBL - TRX - FVB - TRZ' And based on that new info, I would select from the drop down to select the corresponding category and click 'Add Record' button.
I'm building the event for the button and the code is as follows so far :
Private Sub Add_Record_Click() End Sub Private Sub cmbAdd_Record_Click() 'add data to table CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO tblPVMTable(PVMJoinField, SummaryPVMCategory) " & _
[Code] ....
I keep getting errors with the main portion of code.
I have a training matrix that lists employee names and certifications on various operations. The objective is to choose an operation and run a query to display everyone who is certified on that op. There are additional variables.
Code: Name EMP ID OP1 OP2 OP3 OP4 OP5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Doe 526261 C C C Bob Doe 555622 C C C Sheila Doe 066600 C C C
Okay that looks about right for the data itself. The listbox has all the ops, you choose an op and hit a button and it goes and finds everyone who has a 'C' in that op column and pulls their record.
I am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:
1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK) 1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table) 1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table) 1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)
I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.
I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I want a Text Box Query on my form to display the Status, Workshop, Time, Enrolled and Limit. The problem is these values come from two different tables and the Enrolled value comes from a single field that contains the different workshops.
What I mean is: In Table[Attendees] a row contains a customer's Number, First Name, Last Name, Workshop and Phone Number. The workshops vary for each customer so one row on the table could have John Doe attending Cover Letter Writing and the next row could have John Smith attending Resume Writing. What I want is to be able to count the different workshops within the Field[Workshop] and total them and then display the total in a Text Box Query. I have a Text Box Query set up displaying Status, Workshop, Time and Limit as these values all come from Table[Workshops].
So basically I need to Query to also display a result that is the Total for each workshop from Table[Attendees] and display the total for each workshop in a Query with data from Table[Workshops].
Here is a link to an Example Database [URL] ....
I'm trying to avoid putting things on different reports and the like because the people using this are basically computer illiterate and if they have to click a button (no matter how well labeled) they won't do it and the information might as well not exist.
And if there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears. The only thing is, I have to update these workshops month by month. Since they are dynamic, I want to avoid creating separate tables for each workshop.
How do I create a table that can cross index items in another table. Maybe I am not using the right terms here so let me show a small example.
Say I have a tables of words. tblWords numWordID txtWord
Then I have some entries, all more or less synonyms of each others fresh new clean
Now I want to create a cross-index table, related to the table "tblWords" where I can select synonyms from words already in the table "tblWords", so if I for the word "fresh" add "new" and "clean" as synonyms or entries, if I then go and look at the word "new" it will already have the synonyms "fresh" and "clean", likewise the entry "clean" will then have the synonyms "fresh" and "new".
Kind of a many to many relationship junction table but only with one table!
I hope my explanation have not been to confusing, but let me know if you need a clarification.
I want to create a new data base from an existing one in Microsoft Access. I want to use all the fields but not the data. Can I do this? I also want to keep the form that I created. Can anyone give me suggestions? Thank You!
I have the detail data in a query working fine in MSAccess 2000 sp3 and I'm trying to create a summary of the data. My query is as follows:
SELECT CUH.CULevel, CUH.AREA, TYPES.Asset, Count(TYPES.Asset) AS Counts FROM (TYPES LEFT JOIN Broker ON TYPES.[Owner/LastLogin] = Broker.LOGIN_ID) LEFT JOIN CUH ON Broker.COSTUNIT = CUH.COST_UNIT WHERE (((TYPES.Asset) In ("T30", "DESKTOP"))) GROUP BY CUH.CULevel, CUH.AREA, TYPES.Asset;
I am trying to make a DAP for data input into a table.
I used the wizard and it has the fields I want, I can scroll through them and view the entries, but they are not editable.
I read about changing the Page DataEntry property to True, but I still cannot select any of the editboxes on the DAP and now the DAP just shows blank non-selectable editboxes.
I decided to create a dummy table to work with to test creating a DAP, my dummy table looks like this:
Group Name Number Text 1 Bill 3 pink 1 Adam 5 green 2 Charlie 7 blue
I ran the wizard on the above table and again I can scroll through but not select any of the fields, and with DataEntry set to True I still cannot select/edit the textboxes.
Is there something else I need to do to be able to make an input form?
Once I get that sorted out I have a followup question: The dummy table above is where the input data goes, but on the input form I would like if possible to get the Group and Name from a different table using drop-lists. The real table has over 5000 names split into groups of about 30-50 so picking a group first would help find a name in the list which will eventually be input to the table above.
Hope that all makes sense, and thanks in advance for any help!
I am not sure that I am in the Correct Section for this question but I am sure I can be forgiven for that :
I am attempting to build a db for a friend who has all his data in one table. During normalisation I have seperated the various threads of data into various tables of usable information. My problem is that I need to seperate his clients fullname into First & Surname i.e. Fullname: Mick Burke to FirstName: Mick and Surname: Burke - in other words make two fields from one.
Here is my problem. I have created a dbase that takes a download of financial data on a four weekly basis to produce an report for my users. The data always comes across with the same numer of columns but at each four weekly period the date moves on. To show this data in a meaningful way I need to change the field heading automatically, based on the date in the data to show the current Period and Year. The dates given in the download cannot be used as the field names as they are not in the correct format.
I am doing my internship now and am new to vba and excel. I need help with the following.
I need to create a form which allows the user to enter records into a table. The fields for this table is [product type], [Reasons] and [Breaks]. However for each [product type] there is a specific list of [reasons] and [breaks]. I need to reflect this onto the form using drop down lists or list box. That is if the user selects [product 1], the associated [reasons] and [breaks] will populate the other 2 list box. And then the user will click the update button to insert a new record into the table.
Can somebody help me out here? Thanks so much in advance.

I have a form that allows users to input data into a field called "Checked out". I was wondering how I can create a report that shows the forms (I have about a couple thousand) only with the "checked out" field filled in.
