I want to automatically create interview slots. On a form I've got an interview set up and there is a one to many relationship with a table containing interview slots. I want the user to key in the start time of interviews and the end time and the duration of the interview. It should then create the records (time slots) and display them.
I assume it will be some kind of append query, but to be honest I just don't know where to start.
Please help. A cyber pint goes to the boffin that susses it.
Could you please post me the VBAunbound.zip file so I can start getting to grips with unbound forms within Access. All the links in the forum seem to take me nowhere.
I am trying to create a database to schedule customer visits. I would like to enter a beginning date and a frequency (IE every week or every two weeks) and then be able to print a schedule by entering a date range. Very similar to how MS Outlook calendar performs. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks Chad
I have a main form called FrmCalls with a button on, which when pressed brings up a pop up form called FrmSurround, within which is a subform in datasheet format called FrmContacts. This has 3 fields within it. I want the system to tak a value from Frmcalls (numeric value) when the button is pressed and place it as a new record in one of the fields on the datasheet (FrmContacts).
I have a database with over one hundred employees in. Attached to each employee is a relationship where they can do many activities. How can I automatically create one activity record per employee at the beginning of a day and give the date field in the many part of the relationship the current days date.
I assume you've got to create a recordset and do something along the line of - do until EOF docmd.acrecnew. But haven't got a clue where to start.
I was reading a post from a while back titled "MS Acess Security Logins" posted by pi4Paul. You sent him a sample security database. Since I just joined ASP I am not able to send you a PM with my email. If you still have it, please send it to me, or if anyone else has something similar that I can refer to while building mine, that would be great! Thanks a bunch!
Here is an example of what I was talking about re: private message and storing calculated fields. Any help is much appreciated.
Also I received your email in regards to a sample secure database but I am getting a "Memory could not be read" error when I try to open it. Does this have anything to do with how it has been converted to 97 format or is it an error at my end? (I've been able to open other dbases from the forum).
Thanks,
Dearnne
PS Thanks also for your help with adding to option groups.
Hey thereI'm currently doing an ICT project for some school work, in which we all have to make access databases. My database is based around a fictional company that provide driving lessons. I've set most of the tables up including clients employees, bookings etc, but i'm wondering if its possible to implement a schedule within access?I would like to know if its possible for say if someone booked 2 hours of lesson, 2 blocks within the schedule table would be filled, or similar to a calender function, e.g. each day has 6 openings within it, and as these become booked the next day is filled.i've searched around a bit and can't really find anything but i'm very new to access so any advice would be much appreciated, or just being told that it isnt possible to implement such a schedule or calender would also be useful as then i wont be wasting time looking :PHope i've posted this in the right place, sorry if i haven't.Thanks in advance.BenJust found this website: http://www.aislebyaisle.com/access/calendartool.htmkinda similar to what i'm looking to do, just wanna know if theres anyway of doing this thats less complex? or free?
I'm relatively new to Access and would like a few pointers...
I have been asked by work to create a schedule database. We would like to be able to put in dates and see who's working on that day, pull up an individual and see his/hers rota for a week. Also see if they have meetings, annual leave, sickness etc.... We want it to be a very primitive WFM tool. Is this possible and is it relatively easy? The database doesn't have to create the shifts, they will be imported from Excel....
Which leads me to believe I need to think of it differently to excel... Attached is an excel rota, which would need to be importred - but maybe I need to be think a lot differently.
I know thats a big question but any help would be appreciated, or pointers to more resources... Thanks Neil
I am looking at setting up appointments and having Access automaticly schedule the next appointment in either 6 months or a year depending on the Vender. I've search the forum and can't find anything.
For Example if their last appointment was 12-1-05 I would like access to automaticly schedule the next appoint 12-1-06.
Hello Everyone I need to make an employee schedule in access. I am not sure if it is possible, but here are my constraints:
20 employees
5-6 different truck locations (sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, sm6) These locations are scattered within our service area.
2 employees must meet at the same truck, (each truck has 2 employees working on it)
some employees can only meet at certain locations (ex. paul can meet at either sm2 or sm3)
all employees are PT so they can only work on certain days or a certain amount of days per week. (ex. paul can work up to 4 days a week and jim can work only sat and fri)
I would like to make a program in access that will take all these factors into consideration. EX. if i try to schedule paul on sm4 the program will not let me do it or it will give a warning or if i try to schedule paul for 5 days it will give me a warning. It would also be great to have a counter that will show how many days each employee has left to be scheduled for, EX: if i scheduled paul for 2 days it will show that he can actually work 2 days more if i need him to.
I know this might be a lot, but i also know there are so many talented people here so i am sure it is feasible. Please let me know if you know how to do this or if you could guide me through it.
or if you know about a different program that can solve this please let me know Thanks in advance
Hi i would like to know if it is possible to schedule a a task in access, at the moment i refresh all my excel report by using a button on a form in access and would like ot know if i can do this automatically
I have a database that is split. We want to be able to schedule a compact & repair on the back end. Is there a way within access to schedule a compact and repair?
I have 6 machines that run jobs Monday thru Friday but I will focus on doing one machine to avoid confusion.
The machine will be running 23 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and 18 hours on Friday and is shut down on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning at 5am (start of the work week) Job A starts. The job will run for 30 hours. Then Job B will run for 160 hours. I need to know when Job B will start and end. Although it would be nice to know the time of day, just knowing the date would be good enough.
As I said I have 6 machines and each one is running anywhere from 7 to 10 jobs. My end result could be nothing more than a report, but a datasheet form would be ideal. On Mondays, new jobs are added and schedule is updated based on actual productivity from the prior week.
how to go about creating a report that lists a traditional style class schedule?
I would like the times on the X axis and the days of the week along the Y axis. Ideally, the name of the class and student list would be included.
I have all this information in a database, but right now my classes are being generated in an excel program (by hand) and I'd like to automate it somewhat since some class information is being changed on weekly basis.
What I would like to accomplish is to make a report similar to this, except make it automated so I won't have to change the dates. Users would be able to bring up a current schedule without worry that it's updated or not. The schedule repeats itself every 6 weeks. I made a cross-tab query, but I must admit that I'm not too familiar with working on them.
I have a database which I use for scheduling production. I would like to know if there is a way to "push" the schedule dates. I have multiple products scheduled for production but at times I need to adjust the production dates by pushing all the schedule dates ahead by one day. I don't want to re-enter all the dates to do this adjustments.
I want to add a system of getting unique numbers into my database based on the month followed by a unique 3 digit code. For example, if it is February and this is the first record then the reference will read 02/001. Any ideas how I would go about doing this. I've set up a seperate table called Reference numbers as these reference numbers will be used on any number of forms.
I've set up a DB to monitor employee hours. I have an employee table with a relationship to work done (one record = one days of work), so everyday is a new record in the work table. This is fine to monitor daily work patterns. However I need to calculate weekly work and other calculations (such as sixth and seventh shift payments, 15%payments, 25% payments etc). Is there any way that I can create a query that will give me one record for an employee that gives me start and end time for a Sunday, same for a Monday etc.
In other words I want to put start and end time for a Sunday to Saturday ( 7 records) into 1 record at the end of the week? (for each employee in the DB.
I'm working on a database where I enter a series of assets and their costs, and I'm trying to build a query that will generate an amortization schedule for each asset.I'm using an amort methodology that amortizes a certain amount each period based on a calculation. I've got a query that generates the amount that would be amortized based on that calculation.
My problem is in the last period of amortization before the asset is fully amortized. In that last period, the amort methodology may generate an amount to be amortized that would be greater than the total value of the asset. In such cases, I want the amort for that period to be the total value of the asset less the cumulative amort up to this period.
So, for example, I may have an asset that is worth $225. My amort calculation generates an amort amount of $50 per period. For the first four periods, the amort would be $50. But in the final period, only $25 would remain unamortized, and in that instance I want the final amort amount to be $25 instead of $50.
[AssetName], [MonthStartDate] (i.e. the first day of the month for the period of amortization), [BusUnit], [RawMonthAmort]. [RawMonthAmort] has an expression that performs the calculation that determines how much to amortize. I've tested this part and it all works (except for during the final month of amortization, as noted above).
I tried including another layer of conditionals in the [RawMonthAmort] expression that would calculate a cumulative total amort and check that against the total asset value (by bus. unit) and give the difference if the cumulative total amort exceeded the asset value, but I couldn't figure out how to make that work.
I have a report in MS Access. It needs to be converted to pdf and sent to a list of people as mail through MS Outlook at 12:00 Noon on Monday and Thursday. How can I achieve this. I don't have much knowledge regarding macro programming. Any relevant links.
I need to create a database use access that the access can update the database based on a schedule, like daily.For example, in the table there are several columns, and each column stands for a meter point, and in real world, each meter will have a reading every 5 mins. Now the database consists of all the readings till yesterday 11:55pm, by right, tomorrow for example at 8am, the database will update the readings till tonight 11:55pm, today's readings will be placed right after below yesterday 11:55pm row in the same table. The data source will be generated in CSV file every day 8am and put into a specific folder. What I need to do is to update them into this database.
How can I specify the list that appears in a combo box by programming it with VBA. I have eight unbound text boxes on a form and I want a combobox to generate its drop down based on the values in these boxes. I think I'd have to create 8 variables and take the values from these text boxes and assign to the variables. The bit I get stuck on is how to make these variables appear in the combo box list.
