General :: Random Selection From Large Dataset

Jun 25, 2013

I pulled a report from this website my company uses and it has around 7,000 orders and a corresponding employee to each record. Since each employee has around 20-50 orders, I was wondering if there was a VBA code or different Access tool to randomly select only 2 orders from each employee, thus reducing the data set from 7,000 to a more manageable number?

General :: Raw Data And Random Join

Aug 22, 2012

I have almost all of my info with the exception of few hundred pieces of data entered into my database. After looking it over and looking for ways to improve it, would it be easier to import all the tables into a brand new database and starting fresh with everything? I have made a lot of changes since the inception of the database so there are forms and queries and reports that no longer work because of the changes. Or should I go back and change them?

Also, if I am looking to join to tables can they be joined by their foreign keys? They are listed below:

tblEmpInfo
EmpInfoID <PK>
EmpIDFK <FK>
JobNumberFK (joined to tblJobs)
EmpType
CraftCode (would get rid of this)

tblEmpRating
EmpRatingID <PK>
EmpID <FK>
EvalDate
SuptID
StatusChange
CraftCode

I want to join the tables based on the EmpID can this be done or do I have to add another field to EmpRating ID?

Tables :: Random Missing Data After Importing From Excel To Access

Mar 8, 2014

I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.

When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.

Modules & VBA :: Data Selection And Checkboxes

Sep 13, 2013

We have a small lab database where we insert the results of a water plant test. The results can be either Before treatment or After treatment.

And it can be treated numerous times a year.

I have created form with a drop-down box to select the customer and a button to show reports for the selected customer.

But I also want to add 2 check boxes: a Before treatment and After treatment box. And also add a date range.

So when selecting to view reports our users can select a date range example:

01/01/2013 to 01/10/2013 and a check box so users can select if the results to be displayed are Before or After treatment.

Forms :: Displaying Data Based On ComboBox Selection

Jan 20, 2014

I'm building a new db for tracking tests/results, using Access 2007.

On this issue, I'm working with 2 tables, Sample and Equipment.

On a form to enter sample info, I have a combo box to select a piece of equipment.

When the equipment is selected, I need to have a sub-form populate with several fields of data from the equipment table, based on the equipment selected.

I'm not trying to save the equipment data again, I just need to display it, based on the equipment the user selects. This is just a kind of second check to remind the user what the equipment he's selected will do.

Forms :: Nomination Form - Combobox Selection List Not Updating After Each Selection

Oct 27, 2014

I am designing a nomination form (web database so no vba macros can be used).

The form has 3 combo boxes: cboStaffName, cboLevel, cboNominee.

The form is bound to the tblSubmit table where the submissions are populated.

I used a select statement:SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List; to populate the combo box for the Staff Name selection.

This is the select statement to populate the job level combobox:

SELECT Staff_List.Level, Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Staff_Name)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboStaffName]));

The select statement to populate the combobox for the nominee combobox:

SELECT Staff_List.Staff_Name FROM Staff_List WHERE (((Staff_List.Level)=[forms]![frmtest]![cboLevel]));

The problem is that the staff_name in the first combobox is still found in the nominee combobox which should not be because a staff cannot nominate self. There is a field in the Staff_List called YesNo that should be activated for each staff that is selected so that the select statement on the nominee combobox can be updated accordingly to remove items with the field "Active"

How to get the checkbox selected for each corresponding staff.

Sample of the database has been attached.

Modules & VBA :: Populate Data Sheet Subform Based On Combo Box Selection ALL

Aug 20, 2013

I have an unbound combobox on a form that is used to filter the records of a subform based on who they have been assigned to. The combo box is based off of a query to the personnel table and utilizes a UNION querry to add the option "**ALL**" with a id number "111111" as the first option in the combo box.

In other words: the combo box has a list of names to choose from and the word "ALL" at the top as the first selection. The idea is that when "**ALL**" is selected, the subform should display all records regardless of who they have been assigned to. I'm trying to accomplish this with VBA. I've started developing the code to try to impliment this, however currently when "**ALL**" is selected, I'm getting a datatype missmatch that seems to be caused by my use of recordset.

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboTaskListName_AfterUpdate()
'On Error GoTo cboTaskListName_AfterUpdate_Err
Me.Refresh

[code]...

Also once the queried records are saved into the record set, how can I communicate that to the subform so that it displays them?

Third Table called Points which has a column for Section, and SubSection, need to have the section combobox selection filter the SubSection combobox selections. Any help would be appreciated!

Rnd Not Very Random

Aug 10, 2005

I have a small unbound form which has a txt box with code something like =Rnd((20-1+1)*Rnd()+1)) to generate random numbers. When the db and form are first opened the field always contains the same number. Using F9 to refresh will generate another number but it is always the same too.

If the form is closed then reopened (db is not closed) the field will happily generate a random number each time the form is opened or if F9 is used.

I have tried Recalc in numerous events but each time it failed to work. It's late at night here so I'm hoping the morning will bring a clearer outlook???

Has anyone got any suggestions? :confused:

Is Random Really Random?

Jan 5, 2005

Was playing around, and when using the
Code:Me.txtNum1.Value = Int((51 - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1)
format, I noticed that, with 6 differnet text boxes, that after opening the database, the "random" numbers repeat in the same order. That is, with 6 randomly generated numbers, the first set is always the same and the second the same and so on.

Why is it not really random?

Random Deletions

Oct 4, 2005

Hi, I have a DB that is basically a big electronic form. Each table is a section of the form and the main central table stores the ID's from the other tables. Most of the relationships are one to one but without referential integrity because sometimes sections need to be skipped.

It's been growing fairly rapidly lately as bit's keep getting added but now a weird deletion problem has started appearing. Every once in a while when a user goes to complete the form (right at the end) it suddenly dissapears. The records in the related "section" tables are still there but the main table storing all the ID's loses the record.

There are NO cascade update/delete's on any of the relationships, also no-error message appears it just goes. I think there is a problem in actually saving the record because I moved a DoCmd.RunCommand acSaveRec command from the complete button to a slightly earlier process and the point at which the record dissapeared also moved.

Does anyone know what may be causing it? It only happens to about 1 in 30 forms and there is no obvious link between the problem and
a) the machine it happens on
b) the person using it
c) the data entered into the form

If it happens the same user can input exactly the same data in exactly the same way and it saves it fine.

It really is random!

People are starting to get really frustrated. I was tring to "sell" the idea to a new department as well and had 15 people sitting in front of a projector when it happened to me. I was mortified :eek:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Tom

Random Error

Feb 11, 2008

Hi,

everything was going fine until a random error appeared and now wont go away.

here is my code

MainFormPay()

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = " Payment Numbers" ' name of form t open
ANumber = [LastOfVerificationID].Value ' set value of latest Verify number

stLinkCriteria = "[ContractorID]=" & me.ContractorID ' filter to contractorID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Docmd.GoToRecord, , acNewRec

Forms![Payment Numbers]![VerificationID].Value = ANumber

end sub

this was working fine but now i get the following error message:

Run-time error '40036'
Method 'Item' of object 'Forms' failed

when i debug, it highlights the line
Forms![Payment Numbers]![VerificationID].Value = ANumber

the purpose is to get the LastOfVerificationID value from form 1 and then open Payment Numbers, create a new payment number, set verificationID to the new value. this was working fine and without even woring on the forms code, this error has arisen.

how can i fix it?

Creating A Random Number

Jul 8, 2006

Quick question, how do I have access generate a random number between 1 and 8? I want it to generate either a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8. (no zero, no nine)

Expr1: Fix(Rnd(8-1)*10*Rnd()) is what I have been using, but this always generates the number 2? I do want the decimals to be rounded to the nearest integer, thus I have Fix.

If someone could please help me, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
