Is there an easy way of doing this? I have a database that I want to automatically place racers as they finish. I have four race divisions. All racers no matter the division start at the same time. I have all of this figured out, but what is getting me is the finish place (1st, 2nd, etc.) Is there a way on a continuos form to automatically place the racers? How this works is...Main form has racer info., on this form is a stop button, and after the button is clicked, it will show his/her finishing place in their division which is subform of the main form. Here is the reason I want this. Someone may have registered wrong and they are in the wrong division, and we have to change them to the correct division after they have finished and already been placed. I want to be able to move them to the right division, and then my subform requery and they placed in the correct position in the new division. Sorry this is so lenghty. Plain and simple can I make a subreport have an unbound field that shows each records place the recordset? Thanks for your help, and like I said sorry this is so long.
I am creating a DB for race results and have a field which calculates the elapsed time based on the start and finished times. What I want to do now is populate a field "position" with the finishing position relative to other competitors elapsed times in the race. But I cant see how to do this.
I understand I would probab;y have to use some sort of query but not sure how to create it.
I have a race league, I want to select the top 10 point scores for each member.
I have read the Allen Browne article (and many others) and tried many variations on his code but cannot get this working.
I face two issues - The ORDER by clause has no effect, points are not sorted with largest first - Access being unable to differentiate between scores with the same value and returning additional records. I have added an "Event" field to make the record unique, but this does not seem to work.
Query code is
SELECT qLeague.Member, qLeague.Event, qLeague.Points FROM qLeague WHERE qLeague.Points IN (SELECT TOP 10 Points FROM qLeague AS Dupe WHERE Dupe.Points= qLeague.Points ORDER BY Dupe.Member, Dupe.Points DESC ) ORDER BY qLeague.Member ASC, qLeague.Points;
This returns more than 10 results per member:
Member Event Points Alex Peters SDMC North Weald Sprint 3 Alex Peters HCAAC Debden May 3 Alex Peters GB/Harrow TAMS NW Sprint 4 Alex Peters HCAAC Debden Sprint 5 Alex Peters Llys y Fran Hillclimb 6
I am new to using access but have managed to build a database that I use to find qualifiers for horse racing based on stats I import for all the racers in the days racing. I have a query which shows the date, time, track, horse and trainer but some races have more than 1 selection so I want to add a field that counts the number of qualifiers per race. I am finding it hard to do a countif, date AND time & track are all the same within that query.
I also want to add another show the total runners in the race but this will have to look into the tables where the query is run from. Hopefully I can figure this out when I find out how to solve my original problem.
I am creating an access database for the results of my triathlon times and I am having trouble with the race results. Based on some information I found here, I am using number fields for the swim, bike and run times because I want to do calculations and also sort them and it doesn't sort properly if they are text.I have created separate fields for the hours, minutes and seconds for each of them.
Now I am trying to make a calculated field to convert the numbers to the following..For a swim time, I want to convert it to the time per 100m. I have the calculation for that, but the result gives me the decimal portion and not the actual seconds portion and I am stuck. Here is what I have so far :
So as you can see I have added up all the number to get the total number of minutes and then converted to the minutes per 100m (the race is 750m). And the result gives me 3.31. But the .31 is a decimal and I want to have seconds which is 18 seconds. I know how to do the calculation on paper but I don't know how to change my formula to fix this. On paper I have to multiply .31 x 60. But how do I refer to the decimal portion of the number and modify my formula? how to input race times as duration in an access database.
Hello everyone ..I really really really really need help with this ..It have to be work but I don know why it’s not working . This is the last thing and I finish my project so if you help me I’ll really appreciate that. Images and my db Included in my zip
I need to finish the Asset Management System I have been creating today.
The main Asset Form works fine for Data Entry. However when I view existing records, the Model of the Asset (I.T Equipment) appears blank.
The reason for this is: I have three tables linked in the following way: Manufacturer > Model Group > Model
When an Asset is recorded in the DB, the user must select a Model. To minimise duplicating data I decided to only store the Model ID in the Asset Table. This way, if I need to view the Manufacturer and Model Group, I can just do a reverse lookup based on the Model ID.
Problem: The Manufacturer and Model Group are unbound combos. The Model is a bound combo filtered by the Model Group filtered by Manufacturer (aka Cascading Combos).
However, as I am not storing the values for Manufacturer and Model Group in my Asset Table, when viewing existing records, all combo boxes are blank.
Has anyone got a solution to this problem. I downloaded an example by Pat Hartman that requeries the filtered combo on the forms current event. However in that example the main combo was stored in the underlying table.
Any suggestions. Would really like to knock this one on the head today.
I have the below in an SQL query that is called by a button (At present) that creates a table with an autonumber Primary Key (Can do a single Autonumber PK or a multiple field PK at the moment with the SQL code), and i want to create a table but the table name (An maybe some fields) to be from a field in the table. How can i do this, and is the below correctly written?? it works OK, but may be untidy.
I'm using hte Shell() function but this doesn't wait for the executable file to finish so I'm looking for a command line function that would wait until the executable file is finished executing...
I saw this function WaitFor but it is not supported in MS-Access? So, what do I do?
I have a subform in which I want to calculate the difference between a start time and finish time, the problem I am having is when the start time is on a different date to the finish time
Start 23:15 on 14th Jan finish 00:015 on 15th Jan, also I want the answer to be the number of minutes. The fields I have are
BatchStartTime Short Time BatchFinishTime Short Time BoilTime ([BatchStartTime] - [BatchFinishTime]) General Number.
There are many batches to enter per job and the MainForm has the StartDate as I didn't want to enter the StartDate for each batch.
I am calculating number of weeks between start and finish date. Some of the users have questioned the validity of calculation as they are not too sure if this is being calculated as Monday to Friday week or does it work by calculating 7 days. If the latter is true, then I should see a decimal value. I am using date diff formula.
I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.
1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?
2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?
3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?
4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.
In a form a have a field wich contains for exemple 'ABCD', is it possible to place focus in this field after the last character (after the D in my exemple). Thanks in advance. VINCENT
Hi again, This might be a simple answer, but I have tried several event properties, the last in the OnCurrent of the main Form. But most of the calcs work most of the time, and occassionally I get an 'Error 2001'. I have a couple of years VBAing, so still a teenager?? I am curious as to wether I am placing the calcs in the right event. I really only want them to do the calcs when the leave tab is selected (see enclosed image) and/or if a new employee record is navigated to. I will also attach code of calcs. If it needs to go into the Tab control what is the best event? NB pink fields on form are visible=No and for troubleshooting
Coding: ' Run Calcs here for Leave other than Sick Leave. If IsNull(EmpStartDate) Then DaysWorked = 0 Else DaysWorked = DateDiff("d", EmpStartDate, Now) End If ' Calc number of days between Employee Start Date and Now
TotalLeaveAlloc = DaysWorked * (Me!AnnualLeaveDue / 365) ' Divide Allocated days by 365 and multiply by number of days worked
If IsNull(DSum("[DaysTaken]", "[qryLeaveRecords]", "[LeaveType]<>'Sick' And [tblEmployees]![EmployeeID] = [tblLeaveRecord]![EmployeeID]")) Then TotLeaveRecorded = 0 Else TotLeaveRecorded = DSum("[DaysTaken]", "[qryLeaveRecords]", "[LeaveType]<>'Sick' And [tblEmployees]![EmployeeID] = [tblLeaveRecord]![EmployeeID]") End If ' Calculates the number of leave days taken from leave records in database based on qryLeaveRecords ' Used IsNull to check if there are no records found - set calc result to zero
Me.Taken01 = TotLeaveRecorded 'visible option = no ' Display this on screen
If IsNull(Me.LeaveAccrued) Then LeaveBalance = TotalLeaveAlloc - TotLeaveRecorded Else LeaveBalance = TotalLeaveAlloc - (TotLeaveRecorded + Me.LeaveAccrued) End If ' Check if there is any Accrued Leave [reduces the need to load historical Leave Records] and subtract them
Me.Bal01 = LeaveBalance ' Display Balance
' Run Calcs for Sick Leave here. If IsNull(DSum("[DaysTaken]", "[qrySickLeaveRecs]", "[tblEmployees]![EmployeeID] = [tblLeaveRecord]![EmployeeID]")) Then TotSLeaveRecorded = 0 Else TotSLeaveRecorded = DSum("[DaysTaken]", "[qrySickLeaveRecs]", "[tblEmployees]![EmployeeID] = [tblLeaveRecord]![EmployeeID]") End If ' Calculates the number of leave days taken from leave records in database based on qrySickLeaveRecs ' Used IsNull to check if there are no records found - set calc result to zero
Me.Taken02 = TotSLeaveRecorded 'visible option = no ' Display this on screen
I'm playing with my DB a bit and I need help in determing which way to go. When I print out labels for Envelopes or directly on envelopes, sometimes I have people living on the same address (a family), so I would like to save some on printing and actually sending several envelopes to the same address. Now, I was thinking of doing this through the code in VBA but now I'm thinking if there is maybe more simple and faster way in building a qry.
All the data for the labels and envelops comes to a temp table from where I'm printing out reports...so what I'm not sure, is there a way to make a querry which would go through my temp table sorted by address, pick address1 then address2, if they are the same, check if lastname1 and lastname2 ise the same and then name1=name1 & Name2, delete record2 and go on...
When I try to set it to round to the tenth it fails. I tried using Total ATR: Round((([Total Resolved] / ([Total Resolved] + [Total Escalated]) * 100) & "%"),2)
I am building a database from a detailed Excel file which has upwards of 22 decimal places. Access restricts the decimal usage to 15 characters. Even when selecting the 15 characters, Access rounds the entry. The only way it will work so far is as text, but it is a calculated field. Any suggestions?
Hey everyone - is there a way within Access to set the decimal places so that it holds a 0 after the decimal if you put it in that way, but also uses Auto for the # of decimal places? For example, I'm trying to create a DB in which one of the fields is to hold GPAs. It obviously looks silly to have it displayed as 4 if it's 4.0, but I would also prefer to not set the decimal places at 3 and have it displayed as 4.000. I can do this if I have to, but what would be most preferable would be to have it record the number exactly the way I put it in, whether it's 4.0 or 3.875 without cutting off anything (0's or multi-digit decimals) after the decimal. Is this possible, or do I have to customize the output in ASP?
I have made a powerpoint presentation from inside Access. I have a form that populates the fields based on user input. I would like to put a copy of this form into a powerpoint slide after the data has updated. Is there a way to do this?? I have tried numerous code variations and can't seem to get anything to work.
I am using Office 2003. My supervisors are comfortable with the display of the form the way it is. So I really need to use a picture of the form and not just the info contained in the form (otherwise i would just fill the slide with the data from the query)...
Hi, I want to create an access app that will allow a user to see the number of pages printed by various printers.
These are the data that I have: Model Type (various are available) Printer's name (unique to one printer) IP addr (unique to printer) Quantity printed (such as Single Legal, Double Legal, Single Letter,etc)
This is what I have (2 tabels with 1-many relationship): Printers PrinterID Model Name IP
ModelTypes ModelID Model
Now, where do I place the quanties of paper printed? Do I just leave it in Printers?
I have a query that is run off a form. When the query opens up there is a field you can enter data into. Once you close the query the data saves into the proper place in the table. That all works great.
I'm trying to make this as user friendly as possible. Instead of having someone go up to the "x" in the top right hand corner to close the query can I place a command button in the query that is very noticeable?
