Hello all
I got a chance to make some extra money outside of my usual job.
I am creating a billing system for a plumbing business. It's pretty easy and shouldn't take me long to do. The only thing is I'm not sure what to charge.
Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance
tblTimeEntry records individual time slips for attorneys keeping track of their time. Each slip records the client, attorney, time, rate, and value (time * rate) of the slip.tblPeople holds all the timekeepers and their current rate. Their rates change once a year.tblCustomRate will hold the exceptions,
How I imagine tblCustomRate will be set up is as follows (and this may be how it's wrong):Columns for each timekeeper. Each record is a client entry. When a new time entry gets entered, as it gets saved into tblTimeEntry, it should check to see if the client number is one that has a record on tblCustomRate. If it does, it should find the column for the timekeeper and use that rate. could add columns to the tblPeople for each client that gets a custom rate and use IF statements to get it to add, but that's a lot of legwork and code for a few clients.
tblTimeEntry
TimeID (primary key)
ClientID
TKFN (Timekeeper First Name)
Rate
Value
tblPeople
PersonID (primary key)
TKFN
CurRate (Current rate)
If it matters, this is Access front end with SQL Express tables. It's few and far between that I set up new People and it would be few and far between that there would be any custom rates (currently, there would be 2 out of 2000). People's rates change, but the time slips they entered at their old rate should stay at their old rate. If they were only worth $100/hour in 2010, but now they're worth $200/hour, the 2010 slips stay at the $100/hour rate.
I read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?
it is possible to Open access application like desk application done with java or vb, or install access application as exe or similar methods. My requirements is to giving a access application to customer with data base for printing an invoice. when he running the aplication he can see access open and tables, queries forms left hand. how to hide these thing ?

I have just upgraded to office 2007 and was wondering if it was possible to make my access database into a stand alone application so users cannot edit it?
I would very much appreciate any help
thanks
Hi guys,
I was given a task to make an application that will enter/monitor job assignments of our technical staff on a daily basis (roughly 15-30 assignment per day), so I created a table which has all the fields and it worked well.
So after the dressing up the database, I split the table and saved it on our server, copied a FE on workstations but the data is not refreshing the way it supposed to be, what I want is whenever a user accessed the application data will be refreshed on diff. workstation in real time.
Can someone point a link on the forum regarding my problem or can someone help me to solved this problem from ground up?
Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have an extensive reporting application in Access and would like it to be available through a web application. I've went down the road of migrating this application to SQL to use SQL Reporting Services; this is a good tool but I am wondering if MS Access has an easier solution for me other than migration to SQL.
I'm looking for a solution that will make these reports available over the web for many users. Price tag is a consideration...need to know if there is any.
Please help...thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!!
I am using a basic Order form and Order Details subform to capture my information. Customer is selected, then Products and Quantities are filled in... the subform calculates the total price. This all works great. Then I have a problem.
I have some national customers that require shipping to multi regions. I would need to select the regions and it has to calculate a new case cost for each product for each area. Could be up to 100 (10 products x 10 areas) new calculated prices.
Then for other customers, I will use just the case cost for the whole order (multiple products) and add one shipping fee to cover the drop. 3 products and only 1 fee added to the total.
Currently, my Order Form uses a Tab page and the Order Details are on the first tab. I could put the Shipping Info on the second tab, I just don't know how to add up to 10 different shipping regions to generate 10 new prices or the one drop fee to the total price.
Never tried complicated formulas in Access and at a bit of a loss... What I am trying to do is calculate a utility bill based on stepped rates.
For example:
Usage up to the first 500KHW is billed at .067 per KWH
Usage after the first 500KWH from 501 to 999 is billed at .044 per KWH
Usage from 1000 up is billed at .0318
So if my usage was 1200 KWH...
((500 x .067)+(500 x .044)+(200 x .0318)) = 61.86
I was assuming it would require an complex "if" function to split the 1200 into steps and then calculate charges per step?
I have created a make table query and using expressions for two of the fields. I have set the field properties (format) to "Percent". The expressions are calculating rates based on two other fields. The expressions are currently as such:
PTD_CM_PGM_RATE: IIf((IsError([PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])),"0%",[PTD_CM_REPT_PGM]/[PTD_CM_REPT_ER])
I'm using the IIF function to avoid potential errors should one or both of the values ("PTD_CM_REPT_PGM" or "PTD_CM_REPT_ER") be zero.
However, when running the query, I am getting the "...type conversion failure is caused when the data in one or more fields doesn't match...." error.
Hi
I have this Access application. Now I want to see the databases and fields defined.but when I open the access file, it straight opens the access application.
Then when i press Alt+F11, it opens VB Editor. Then when I click on Design mode it comes back to access in the design mode, but still does not shows the design mode for databases and reports and all.
I can remember there is one more step I need to do after getting into the design of the form.But I cannot remember that
Could anyone please help me out
thanks

I am developing an application in access xp (2002) and want to distribute it as a runtime application. I do not have the Office xp Developer version and thus need to buy the MS Office Developer. It is still available and if so, where can I buy it? Or can the Visual Studio Tools for the MS Office System make a runtime version from access 2002?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I have created a website that includes an Access database providing a directory of manufacturers and suppliers to complement a magazine version.
The requirement now is to distribute the catalog on CD as well and the challenge is how to supply a query function?
I created a cd version of the website and it works fine - except if the user does not have Access installed the queries dont work.
I know the MS Developer Edition is the preferred route but it is very expensive for a simple application like this - does anyone know of an alternative approach?

Hello,
I have an Access application which was written on Access 2.0. I need to run it (as is). I saw that it was possible to run it using some kind of Access 2.0 runtime environment - my client uses the following command to run the application:
Msarn200.exe application.mdb /ini application.ini
Where can I get this MSARN200? Do I have to find the Access 2.0 installation itself?
Hello everyone. This is my first post (for not asking help :) )
I look at topics for start up options etc and I think all of this it’s ok but there is a smarmiest way to start your application. So here we go..
We make a vbs Script
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run """C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE""/RUNTIME ""C:Documents and SettingsEvalDesktopDataBaseUI.mdb"""
And we start The Access In runtime and open your Db
Note this working with Access 2003 .If you have an other version just change the access directory “C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE”
Where is your Office Access
Then you can make a shortcut of your .vbs script and rename it ass you like
You’re Application Name. You can change the Icon (If you have a Program File’s Folder Place your icon) Right Click Properties/Change Icon
Then your app is starting in Access /Runtime and everything is fine :)

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy MS 2000 Access application is crashing and returns a msg something like this: "Your Access application caused an error and Access must be closed"
This occurs only when I execute some forms; always the same forms cause the problem.
Somebody told me to copy the .mdb to another place in my HD and change the names of the forms.
I did it and it always works well!
Any good reason for that?
My app is not yet splited in FE and BE. Splitting would help?
Thanks a lot
