Relationship Types

Jan 12, 2006

Hi,

I'm a student trying to get to grips with relational databases and Access is a great tool to learn.

Does access support 0..1 and 0..many relationships? I've been playing around with Access for a while and can't seem to model the 0..1 and 0..many relationships.

Thanks for your help

Modules & VBA :: How To Get ForeignTable Field And Relationship Types Using It

Jul 25, 2014

For reasons I need not get into as it generally proves to be a distraction, I need to document the relationships in databases.

I've been playing around with .Relations with some success.

I can easily get the relationship's name, Table Name, Table Field, and ForeignTable.

Code:
For i = 0 To objDestDB.Relations.Count - 1
With rsMigrateRels
.AddNew
!RelNumber = i
!RelAttributes = objDestDB.Relations(i).Attributes
!RelFields = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields.Count
!RelFieldsName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields(0).Name
!RelForeignTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).ForeignTable
!RelName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Name
!RelPartialReplica = objDestDB.Relations(i).PartialReplica
!RelProperties = objDestDB.Relations(i).Properties.Count
!RelTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).Table
.Update
End With
Next i

However, despite lots of digging into the other properties and attributes associated here, I cannot yet figure out how or where to get the:

ForeignTable field
The type of relationship (1:1,1:many,many:many)

Data Types

Sep 5, 2005

I have an Excel file (sourced externally) linked as a table. All fields are defined as text fields. In some of the Excel cells, data has somehow been entered as numeric (eg phone number). When I query the Excel file thru Access, these fields show up as errors (#num!).

I need to find a way of interogating the field, and if in error (like these ones), then ignore it, or replace with zeros etc.

I cant find a way of doing this. Help :)

Types Of Drop Down

Sep 8, 2006

I need to display a drop down list to users.
I know that in a combo box, the user can also type text. However, I want to stop them from doing this and only be able to select values.

Is there a better control I could use? I tried the listbox but this does not seem to "drop down" the data like a combo

Field Types

Sep 10, 2006

I am building a table where one of the fields is a yes/no field type. When the yes box is selected, I need to "jump" to a different set of field names than field names for selecting no. I have researched on internet and have done some reading but have found no information. Is it possible to do what I want to do in Access? My skill level is that I can build tables, create forms, create reports and run simple queries. Any help offered is appreciated.

I'm trying to append a group of fields to a SQL table using ADO in VBA. One of the fields I'm writing back to is a datatime and in certain situations there won't be a value, however, when I try this it throws in the beginning of time 1/1/1900 or whatever it is. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Appointments With Three Types Of Roles

Dec 16, 2004

hi everyone, i sort of run into a dead end trying to figure how to structure this. I have three tables for the 3 roles, tblClients, tblDoctors, tblBusinessContacts, each with a Primary key and some unique information about each role. I'm not sure how i can track appointments to each of these roles, i know how to do it if it was one role. I want to be able to later view all appointments for that day with all 3 of these roles.

Also, for clients i have a multiselect listbox describing their reason for the appointment and somewhow would like to associate that to the appointments. Some info i would like about these appointments:

1. date and time
2. details of contact
3. date for next appointment

What would be my best bet?

Thanks!

Different Types Of Entities In The Same Table

Apr 20, 2005

Hi,
I am designing a database.
It is going to store data from questionnaires.
The natural way seems to be to have a table - that stores where the data comes from, what is it about, what is the question and what is the answer, like this:
DataProviderID; FocusID; QuestionID; AnswerValue

My problem is that a Focus could be a eg. a Person, a Company or a Job - meaning that somebody may be giving info on an other person, on a Company or on a Job.
Now Persons, Companies and Jobs would have very different properties.
So how should I solve this shold I have a common table for Peoples, Companies and Jobs and use a very complicated structure of properties for them or should I store these entities in separate tables but than how will I store the results?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Replace And Data Types

Jan 26, 2006

Hi all!
I'm experiencing an apparently simple problem, but it's taking me too long to solve :confused:
Two tables with a "text" (100) column on each. I want to select those who are identical. ¡So easy! thats the where clause:

AND a.sDesEntidad = b.sNombreLargo

That works fine. But... i want to "relax" the clause, by not considering dots ( . ) when comparing, and i do like this:

AND (Replace([a]![sDesEntidad],'.','') = Replace([b]![sNombreLargo],'.',''));

and i get a run-time Error 3464, Data type mismatch in criteria expression. Oooops!
My access version is 2003, spanish. I would really appreciate ur help, since this matter shouldn't be keeping me busy for so long :(
Regards and thx in advance!

Access Data Types

Feb 9, 2006

I am trying to do a comparison between two values and am getting the following error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

The code that is creating the error is as follows:

sb = Request.Form("storyboardscreen")

if Not Lcase(Request.Form("AllStoryBoard")) = "all" then
whereClause = whereClause + "theStoryboard = " + sb
end if

I am using the statement to build the where clause of my query. The sb value is retrieved from a pull down menu and "theStoryboard" column is the db is of data type "text". The values stored in the field are 12 digit numbers. I have tried doing a cstr to sb but that doesnt work, any tips on what I am doing wrong? I am using asp with an access db....

Thanks

Trying To Consolidate Information With Different Value Types

Jul 10, 2013

I have a database that, vaguely looks like the following

NAME Value Category A Value Category B Value Category C

Name A -50 0 0
Name A 0 50 0
Name B -100 0 0
Name B 0 75 10
Name B -25 0 0
Name C -100 0 0

Etc. etc.

What I'd like is to find a query that will first, generate a Category D which should be a total of all the values in the three different categories and consolidates the names to one line. So it should spit something like this out.

NAME Value Category A Value Category B Value Category C Total
Name A -50 50 0 0
Name B -125 75 10 -40
Name C -100 0 0 -100

After this, I'd like to have another query that will only display the values that are NOT zero.

NAME Val Cat A Val Cat B Val Cat C Total
Name B -125 75 10 -40
Name C -100 0 0 -100

WorkID is a look-up field, so its Data Type is Number.
In the same table, DailyGrind is a field with the Data Type of text.

I would like to update WorkID with the jobs in DailyGrind.

Surely there must be a way to do it, gurus?

Survey - Multiple Answer Types

May 16, 2007

I am struggling with an answer table for multiple type answers. Some questions have yes/no answers, some have option group answers (agree, neutral, disagree), and some require text input.

I have reviewed posts on normalization on survey design. In it's simplest form I would have 3 tables.

tblQuestions
QuestionID
QuestionText

tblAnswerCodes
AnswerID
AnswerText

tblResponses
PersonID
date
QuestionID
AnswerID

If all answers required an option group value then I would use the structure above.

If all the answers were yes/no I would eliminate tbl AnswerCodes and simply have an answer field with data type yes/no in tblResponses.

But if an answer requires a user text comment, I would need either a memo field or a 255 length text field. This is where I get confused. It seems inefficient to use a memo or text field for all answers when most of the questions require a yes/no answer. I feel the answer is somewhere in setting up another table with answer types, but I am struggling with this.

On a further note I am struggling with the response data entry form. For an option group answer I could setup an append query for each new survey response. But how about for multiple answer (check all that apply). I guess I need a form based on a query linking tblQuestions to tbl AnswerCodes. This would be a subform on the master form for tblResponses. I keep getting all the answers for all questions. But handling multiple question types on one continuous form seems awkward.

Thanks.

Union Query Data Types

Dec 11, 2007

Hi All,

I have a Union query that brings together several tables into one. This works perfectly well however there is an occassion when a field in one table has its data type changed to text from date. This is to allow N/A to be entered rather than a date. When this occurs the union query changes all the dates from the other tables to text also and therefore other queries I am running based on the Union query now fail.

Is there any way to have the Union Query ignore the data from the table where and when this this occurs as it is not necessary to show in the query and can happen with any of the tables at a users discretion

Thanks Again

Opening Other File Types From Within Access

Nov 16, 2004

I have a database application that I have to get to display some external PDF files.

I thought that I would create a command buttone and use that to open the files, but that doesn't want to work. Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to open a Word document or PDF file from within an access form? I only need to display it and then close the file so it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Modules & VBA :: Mixing Variable Types

Jul 26, 2013

Dim MooringLines As String
Dim MooringLinesPrice As Double
MooringLines = DLookup("TotalComponent", "ComponentT", "[TotalComponent] = '" & Me.P_MooringLinesCmb & "'")
MooringLinesPrice = DLookup("EuroPerMetre", "ComponentT", "[TotalComponent] = '" & Me.P_MooringLinesCmb & "'")
Me.P_MooringLinesTxt = (MooringLines + " - " + (MooringLinesPrice * Me.P_LengthMLTxt.Value))

In the first variable I'm trying to get a string and combine it with a double in the second. Is it that I can't mix a string and a double in the one variable and if so how do I convert the double to a string?

General :: Attachment Field Types

Apr 12, 2013

I have a database for recording jobs and invoices for our transport company. I was thinking of adding an "Attachment" type field to my invoice table to store pdf's of scanned copies of the delivery notes relating to the invoice. How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?

Compare Two Types Of Records From One Table

Aug 9, 2011

I am trying to create a query based on a transaction table which compares the time between two types of transactions.

The initial record would have "A' in the type field and the second record would have "D" in the type field.

each pair of A and D records would be matched on o_time and idnum fields, and I would want to pull each pair and us the datediff function on c_time, using records marked with A as the initial time and records marked with D as the followup time.

Is there any way to accomplish this in a single query or do I need to create two subqueries?

Hi Everyone,

I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.

I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.

My Requirement:
When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".

When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.

How can I achieve this???:mad:
