In the Northwind DB, there is a query of the "Ten Most Expensive Products"
After looking at it, I can't figure out where or how it knows to only pull the 10 highest price products. It's probably right in front of my nose...but it's making me crazy!
Thanks for any replies...
Wow! I just looked at the Access 2007 Northwind database sample and they have revamped it and given it some cool stuff. It is definitely not the "old" Northwind.

Hi guys,
As you all know, in the Northwind sample database there are the Invoices and Invoices Filter query. The Invoices Filter query adds a criteria to select only items that belong to the current order. OrderID is integer.
However, if I change OrderID to Replication ID, it stops working.
Any idea how to make it work? Currently I work around this problem in my DB by adding a criteria to filter by Date and Customer ID, but IMO this is less than ideal.
Hi,
I have a problem with form design,
I want a form like in Northwind sample database: Summary of Sales by Year Report.
It use Sorting and Grouping for Footer that I can't find it in Form design.
Is it any other way to do it in Form design so I can get the same result like in Report design?.
The reason why I want it, because I want to control the size.
thankyou in advance for your help.
Gunawan.
Hi
I am re-visiting access for the 1st time in a couple of years to develop a quotations system and I am just messing around at the moment with Northwind trying to work out how it all works.
I have come across a problem that is baffling me....
When displaying the order details table (referenced from products), the product ID is disoplayed in text form, not as a number. Whenever I try and do this with 2 similar tables using the query builder I always get just the other tables number. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as every field, attribute, join etc seems to be just the same as the sample tables.
Please could someone help a duffer? :)
A while back a colleague at work (who has since left my company) showed me an example of a graph within a Data Access Page in the Microsoft Northwind database. The Northwind database that I've downloaded doesn't contain such an example. Does anyone know of a Northwind DB with an exmaple of a graph embedded into a Data Access Page?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am just wondering how good of an example Northwind is?
I have been playing with the database and noticed that the number of units in stock doesn't decrease after I have created an order. I am trying to build an inventory database and would like this feature.
Am I wasting my time with Northwind?
Hi There,
I want to synchronize 2 comboboxes (actually 3, but let's start with 2)
On a form I have 2 comboboxes:
- CompanyType (FK fkCompanyTypeID in table Contacts)
- Category (FK fkCompanyCategoryID in table Contacts)
Let's say we have companytype CT1 until CT10.
For CT1, CT2 & CT3 I want to choose a catagory, so the combobox must be 'enabled'.
For CT4 until CT10 the Catagory combobox must be disabled, so that I cannot choose a category value.
Actually I want to choose 2 catgories (2 comboboxes) for CT1 until CT3.
But I think that an explanation for the example above is sufficient for me.
Both comboboxes are filled by a Select Query, and the values are filled in a separate table. (Table CompanyType (PK pkCompanyTypeID) & Table CompanyCategory (PK pkCompanyCategoryID)).
Can someone please help me on this issue? :confused:
Thanks in advance for your reply,

When attempting to select a letter in a form copied from the Northwind's Customer Phone List Form, I am now getting an error message that says "The object doesn't contain the Automation object "RecordsetClone'".
I never had that problem before.
Appears to be something in the Option Group that has gone awry, but I cannot access the Visual Basics behind the Macro.
Is there a way to suppress this message? It does not appear to be a problem in bringing up the sought after page.
:confused: :confused: Please help!!
hi,
do you know where can I get a file sample of ms access database with the following features:
- entry of persons,
- entry of projects,
- calender of projects,
- payement for their work,
- print-out of vouchers,
- on-line access for persons to DB (with password).
i've looked around the internet and couldn't find anything. I would love to have this just as an example, to build my own on-this-sample-driven database.
i've done something in PHP but since VB and PHP are not similar, i really would love to have an example.
thank you for your help
Hi all,
I am on my way to building my first relational DB. Is anyone able to look at the attached sample and tell me if I am on the right track?
The DB is being desined to record Repair information carried out on a machine. (TblRepair)
The DB will also eventually record refurbished machines (TblRefurb) and also many other situations like stock control, etc.(yet to be designed). Before I go on I just want to check:
> Is this roughly correct so far?
> If I create a new record in the existing form, why can I not enter both UnitID and EmployeeID? Relationship conflict?
> Should I be building forms on a query? (I think the answer is Yes, just need confirmation).
> Is it because of a problem with the query I cannot enter details correctly? (as per the above question).
Any pointers would be very welcome. PS Sorry its v.old A97!

I've read-up on getting random records, but I need a little help.
I have a table with 200,000 SSN records. Fields: SSN, Plan Number
There are about 100 distinct plans.
How can I select a sample (random) SSN for each plan?:confused:
Can someone post a copy of a sample mdw file so that I may observe the design of the database? I am very new to the concept of db security and would like to take a look at how the design is constructed. Thanks!

Hi folks,
I've got a questionnaire which has about 80 fields in 5 sections. all sections are linked to a person Id - which is the unique identifier.
I'm thinking that a tab form is the way to go in putting this form in Access in order to facilitate data entry. Is this the best way or is there another way to accomplish this task?
Does anyone have a sample form that I can modify to meet my needs?
Thanks
Will.
Right, I recently created a hex colour chooser using 3 ActiveX slider controls. It's kinda interesting, and should provide a good starting point for anyone interested in changing the bqackground or foreground colours of text boxes a good idea of what to do as well.
It was created as part of a simple database that could change the menu items in an asp page, what they linked to, and what colour they would switch to when the mouse hovered over them (looked like the old magic buttons, but was really just a div changing colours in a table, and the div had the hand cursor though css, so it was hard to believe that it was only text)... I can post that code somewhere too if you guys want, works in IE and Mozilla.
Beyond the colour chooser, it also had an open dialog which would create the Reletive URL from the databases location if it was in or beyond that directory. It did some stuff with file input and used the copy API too if anyone wants me to post the whole thing my employer says I can keep all the database code and objects I create so long as I delete any sensitive data.
The coolest part is the colour picker though, which I have posted here
To use it, just do a DoCmd.OpenForm. If you pass it an OpenArgs value that is a hex string (as you would see in a website, so #RRGGBB) then it will start out at that colour, and restore to it as well with the return to original colour button. You should open it up as a dialog really, then check the global variable strColourChosen (declared in the module)
It requires the two functions in the module, the ChangeToHex and ChangeFromHex, to work, and it also requires the global variable strColourChosen.
If you think this is a garbage post, tell me and I'll avoid making them in the future.

Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me out here?
I am finishing a project at my client, and they said that I could take a copy of the database I created home (i.e. so that I will support them ;) )
I have a table tblPeople, however, the only condition is that I have to change the First- and LastName columns in this table, since it contains personal information. I need to change the names for about 600 people (400 men, 200 women)
I was thinking of adding the First- and Last Names of movie stars, to keep the flair in my DB :)
Does anyone maybe have a sample database with (movie star) names that I can use to populate my DB?
Thanks in advance,
Jean
