I have a table with questions and a table with responses. The questions are all answered with Yes, No, or Don't know. However, two of the questions go on to say that if you answered yes, please specify. It then provides a list of possible specifications for the "yes". One of the possible specifications is "other". I need to know how to set up an additional table for the question/statement: If you answered yes, please specify. I then would need a table for its responses. Same goes for the option "other", I need a table for the responses for other. Attached is my paper form that I am devising my questions from. It is in part iii of the app. Question 6 and Question 11 are the questions I do not know how to deal with. I also don't know how to set the overall section up. Since each question will have a yes/no/don't know, but how do you set it up when you get to Q6 and Q11 to have it ask the user additional questions or ask for more information?
Attached is also my DB. You can view tblApplicantQuestions and tblApplicantResponses to see what I have set up so far in line of questions and responses.
I'm a Access novice trying to set up a table to record the answers to simple yes/no questions. I've got all the questions set up and yes/no fields set for their responses, but I now want to add a field that calculates the percentage of yes responses on that particular report and record that too. I'm trying to use the 'calculated' data type, but then I can't work out what to type as the expression.
My boss has assigned me the task of constructing what is basically a time tracking database. Employee info will include Employee ID, Name, Work Area, and Supervisor's name. Each day, employees will record the time they spend working on any of 40 different potential tasks for that day. The forty different tasks are split into five main categories, each with eight tasks. The boss wants each employee to be able to go into a form and/or subforms (haven't gotten that far yet!) and be able to record the amount of time they spent working on any given task for that particular day.
So, the tables would need to contain the Employee info mentioned above, the date, the 40 different potential tasks, and the time spent on each task for each day. I can't quite get my arms around how i should set up the tables, particularly where the date would go. Hope i was clear enough describing what I'm looking for. If not, let me know.
Hello everybody, I have been tasked to create a DBase which at the click of a command button will to all intents and purposes generate an examination paper...
At work we are currently using a series of 'Word Doc's'which are static in that we only have a specific set of examination papers numbered 1- 4 which are alternately used on a quarterly basis and as a consequence easily compromised.
I have currently have ten tables in total... named 'Subject1', 'Subject 2' etc etc. Each table varies in the amount of questions held within. 'Subject1' for instance might contain 20 whereas 'Subject3' may only have 5. What I would like to be able to do via an input form is to manually specify the amount of records I would like it to generate, per the questions in the table, in order to generate an exam paper.
The Search Forum has given me some help/guidance, however I am completely lost as to how to apply it to the instance of multiple tables.
Your advice and help would be extremely well appreciated.
P.S... If I have posed this question in the completely wrong forum then please accept my profound apogies!!!
I have a database for collecting evaluation responses for training. There are 20 questions, with a combo box for each with responses: agree, strongly agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree, n/a. I want to create a report that counts the number of responses for each question from a session. I don't know how to put a calculation field in a report to count the various responses and am not a programmer. Can someone help me.
I'm setting up a database for student evaluations. Students have several options as to how well the instructor did for each survey question. I've been able to set up the data entry form to my liking, and I can use a query to average the total answers to each question, including a count of how many people responded. HOWEVER, I need to calculate the percentage of responses for each option. For example, I need to know the percentage of students who picked "Excellent" for question 1, how many students chose "Very Good", how many chose "Good", etc., so on and so on for every question. How can I do that? I'm completely stuck and a novice user. HELP!!:eek:
What I'm looking to do is calculate the success rate (%) of compliance rates with Quality Control paperwork. Essentially, each record has 12 "check box" fields representing the different QC sheets that are submitted each day.
I'm working on a vacation/time off tracker and was hoping to use the collect data feature. I've created a form where a user submits their requested date and number of hours, at which point I'd like the form to be sent to their manager for approval. The manager's email address is stored in a table. Once the manager marks yes or no, I'd like that reflected in the time off requests table, and an email sent to the requester letting them know if it was approved or not. Is this possible? How would I go about it. I'm pretty new to Access, learning on the fly, but I'm pretty good at modifying code to match my situation/working backwards if you have any examples for me to look at.
I have 2 tables...a lookup table with possible responses (i.e. yes, no, don't know) and the second with 8 fields that contain the values selected from the first table. Tables are related one-to-many. I need to count the number of times each of the responses shows from the lookup table shows in each of the fields in the main table. Have tried to query with the lookup field set to "group by" and each field set to "count".
1) There are some databases here at work that I can open in BOTH A97 and A2K. I thought A2K won't open in A97, and before you can open an A97 in A2K, you have to convert? At least that's been my experience thus far. Any idea what is happening and how I can determine which version these databases are currently in?
2) With those same databases...assuming some were A97, the option to Convert them under Database Utilities is greyed out. Is this most likely a rights issue? Could it be anything else?
Recently I created a database using MS Access for the company and I am the Admin for it. The database is in the share folder and many employees are using it but if I want to take backup or modify any thing a message is appearing saying that one user open the database.
Is there any method to know which user is opening the database and in which PC (workstation) it is open. --------------------------------------
Is there any way of adding export fuction to the toolbar using modules or macro
Is it possible to have a table of 10 random questions and an inital form created with those questions in the form of checkboxes. When you chose random questions from that pool of questions a new brand form and table have the option to be created.
Basically, I have many external databases to research and some of the questions are the same in each database. Each database must be saved as individual tables and forms.
I have few questions so please bare with me 1- i want the text box to change automatically according to date so i tried this: if date>text14.text then text30.text=sea else text30.text=port but nothing happens 2-i made a form but not all the data rows in the table are in the form(there`s still some rows) so if i delete a data that are in the form how i can automatically delete the data that are in the other row ?
3-this may sound stupid..but is there a way to stop the access logo from apearing when loading the database?and how to make access directly open a specified form?
I am designing a database and have a couple of questions.
I have designed a form that I have opening at startup. How do I force this to maximize on opening?
I have set up a report based on a query. It works fine. The query requires a parameter to be entered when it is run. The parameter comes from a list (of teachers in my school). How do I set up the query so that the 'Enter Parameter' dialog box provides a drop down list of teachers from which the user selects their name?
I am new to Access and have just designed a new database and was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions.
1/ I am setting up a Macro to send an e-mail on the change of a form. When the e-mail is generated by Access I get a message from Outlook stating that "A program is trying to automatically send e-mail..." and asks you to confirm that it is ok to go. Is there any way to bypass this check or alternatively send the e-mail from a specific e-mail address rather than the database user.
2/ I have changed the background colours on a number of my forms but the Record Selector's and Scroll Bar stay the standard Access Grey. Is there anyway to change these?
3/ I have used the User Security Wizard to setup users, groups and access but I can't seem to see a way to limit the number of simulateous logins a person can have i.e. I can log in more than once with the same user when I only want to be able to login once. Any ideas?
Hey guys, I'm just doing this database and have suddenly realised I dont know as much about MS Access as I thought!
Q.1 - I need to run a query that displays the top 5 records in a table, how would I go about doing this?
Q.2 - In my tables, I have of numerical data like the following... http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/2695/11ch1.png is it possible to make a Totals column which automatcily adds up the data in the Fraud, Competition, Loss of data, etc rows? (similar to MS Excel if possible)
Say your got a database that has many users & in which quite alot of information is added to it on a regular basis. Basically its getting slower, what could be the problems & how could you fix it???
Hi all, I built a system in access for my a level IT course a few years back but haven't had need to use access since. just been asked to build simple system at work and i'm forgetting some really simple things. trouble is i think i'm overcomplicating the terms and can't find anything in the help file!
basically the system is to keep track of how many hours various people have worked on various jobs.
I've got 3 tables:
Jobs - job id, location etc etc Staff - staff id, name etc link - job id, staff id and hours worked.
the job and staff tables have the id as the primary key, and i've set the relationship to link them to the corresponding field in the link table. which is all fine if i remember rightly?!
now what i'm trying to do is set up a form for entring the hours worked etc into the link table. we use job id numbers all the time so i have that as a drop down box. what i want is to have a drop down for employee names, which will insert the employee id into the link table- basically so we can work with names rather than numbers. for the life of me i can't remember how to do it. i know is really simple but i can't find a way to express what i want to do to search for it in the help or online!
if anybody can refresh my memory it would be much appreciated!
First...I have a table called company rates which will be used to calculate time and materials. In the material field, I need to enter .10 for 10 percent. When I enter .10 the field changes back to zero. I have it set to long interger. Is this wrong?
Also, I am working on the form that will calculate all of this. I have a field that needs to look in a flex price field. If there is a number in the flex price than that is the labor, if not, it needs to multiply the estimated time (Text43) times the quantity, times the CurrentLaborRate contained in the CompanyRates subform. I can't seem to get it right...
Allrighty, some questions about replication. I have gotten the Replication Manager from the helpful IT folks here, have made the database, and it works well to synchronise between different files locally on this computer. However, ideally the other people in the department would be able to carry replicas around on their laptops, while ideally the design master and overall database tidying should sit on mine. The setup is typical intranet here - computers are invisible to one another directly, and so are their virtual My Documents drives, while shared network folders are visible to all.
Questions;
1. Since I can't see any of the other laptop drives, and the database would have to be accessible offline, I assume indirect synchronisation is the only choice, correct?
2. Does the Replication Manager need to be installed on each of the laptops that will use the database offline?
3. If yes, what's the process? Do I install RM on each laptop, then use the Create Replica function to create one locally on each? No hidden pitfalls here?
4. If yes, is it sufficient to keep RM shut all the time unless specifically wanting to synchronise? Would happen at least once a week.
5. If Replication Manager doesn't need to be installed on other laptops, how do I move replicas there? I tried moving one through copy/paste, but that broke the link to the Replication Manager.
6. (Optionally - I've seen some references to 'replica farms' - what is that?)
Very much appreciated if anyone is able to answer..
I am trying to build a db for the office I work at. And I have a few questions about how I should design it.
1. My vendor number should be an autonumber, but it has a relationship to the vendor name on a report. I cant create a relationship btwn text and autonumber.
2. Right now I have 3 main tables. Vendor, builder, and job. All of this is for the marketing aspect of the business. But I want to include other aspects, like collections and payroll. Should I add columns to the jobs table, or create a new table? For example, on the jobs table, I already have job info like details on the job and who referred it to us. Should I add invoiced amount, amount collected, etc., or create a table called collections to store all of this info? Im really confused about this.
Hi I'm new to the forum, and i have a question (don't we all)
I need the following, i tried some turorials but couldn't find it.. I'm creating a form, that has 2 fields that I want to relate,
let me explain a little: the database if for a Church I work for. The church has 3 sites (3 different buildings in 3 different parts of the city) Each site has it's own schedule of day and time. I need to create a field that asks for the site, and depending on the site that is selected, it should display in another drop down menu the possible days and time of only that site. I have no idea how to do this. I have created a table with the sites, days and time How do i make one field depend on the other.
The other question is regarding a field that I want to add for the Cities of States. I want the field to remember the new ones, and add them to a drop down menu, so that if it is there it can be selected without not having to write it again, and if it isn't there yet, it can be written and then it would be added to the list....
thanks I want to thank you in advance. hope i can be of help soon enough:cool:
I've run into a problem with my db :( When I'm trying to create users for it, apparently Access won't accept them when they try to log in from different computers.
Is it a general problem with Access, or is it just me who's a noob with this?
I've been working on a database for a while now and I believe the outline of it is complete, all that's left is the data inputting and security.
I tried to make my own security based around usernames and passwords but I was hopeless at applying MD5 encryption on the password field and working with the permissions afterwords.
I went through the user level security wizard and I set up the accounts and there's permissions to read tables, etc.. but there's no good tutorials or help files to do anything more complicated and I wouldn't know how to without reference materials.
Now.. the thing I wish to do is limit users by record, each record has a "worker" assigned to it. I want the user to log on, open the main menu form, open the client's form, then only that worker's clients would be available to go through with the forwards and back arrows, or the drop down list would be filtered.
Is this too complex to do with the user level security built into access?
Are there any alternate methods of doing so?
I can upload my database if anybody wants a better look.
T_Problems F_ProblemID (PK) F_Title F_RelatedProblems (FK to F_ProblemsID in same table)
1. Is having a FK to the PK in a one-to-many relationship in the same table allowed and desirable? 2. How would I ensure that, say, if problem ID 20 was related to problem ID 50 then ID 50 was similarly related to ID 20 or would this happen automatically? 3. Is this the 'adjacency list model'?
