What I have is a database that I am using for 3 different sites; NE, NCA, & SCA. What I want to do is have the form ONLY show information for the specific site that the Leader is a member of. I have a security table that contains the persons name, & site location. For example: John Smith works at the NE site; so when he goes to open a form to add/modify/delete members from his site I want him to only be able to see date for NE from the table. So in the listbox NCA & SCA would be filtered.
How can I go about doing this? The forms Record Source is set to the Security Table. Please help so I can do this without having to create a seperate form for each different location. :)
I have two tables which contain the following fields (simplified);
Table 1: ID Startdate Enddate
Table 2: ID Unitdate Treatment
The tables are related (one-to-many) through the ID field.
In operation, the user first enters the Startdate and an Enddate for a patients' hospital stay in Table 1. Following this, the user enters the Startdate again in the Unitdate field in Table 2 and selects a Treatment from a drop-down list. After this, the user enters the following in the Unitdate field and selects a treatment. This is repeated in consecutive order until the Enddate is reached.
The end result looks like this;
Table 1: ID Startdate Enddate 123456 01/01/2005 04/01/2005
Does anyone know if there is any way to restrict the Unitdate field in Table 2 to only allow dates to be entered that are between the Startdate and Enddate fields in Table 1? Ideally, I would like the Unitdate to populate automatically with the dates, starting with the Startdate value and ending with the Enddate value and filling in all the intermediate dates. Also I would like to make sure that there is no way of having duplicate dates in the Unitdate field.
If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful.
I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
If i split my Data base into a front and back end how would i restrict certain users only to input data on certain forms. Also how would i prevent them from accessing certain information.
Hi people. I'm having fun with this one. I want to open a form frmOldRec from a list on frmSelectOld, only if there is data. I'e tried code such as: Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rst As Recordset Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No Records logged in this service area"
DoCmd.Restore,
'close etc etc
End sub
But I haven't been successful.
As it stands it opens a blank form if there's no suitable record. How can I stop this happening please?
1. I'm in need of some way of preventing a user from opening form B unless he has entered information in form A.
Right now it is possible to open form B without entering data in form A (form A being the date/time info and form B being the case technical info) due to which a record is created for clientnr 0 (which should be a non existing client). Querying for clientnr 0 from time to time and deleting those records is easy enough, but who knows what kind of relevant data could be stored accidentally in a record that doesn't belong there.
This happens by the way, even though referential integrity is enforced throughout the dbase. Maybe I should say, because of that. I want to keep it that way of course to prevent orphans roaming around. But having orphans for clientnr. 0 is also not a good idea.
2. What is the wiser thing to do: keep all information concerning one case for one client (date/time info per case, techinfo per case, maybe even products sold info per case, payment info per case) in one table and have the data needed for each thing entered in seperate forms, or have all data split up into seperate tables like I have now. One for clients, one for dates and times, one for the technical info for that case etc.... ?
It is starting to seem a bit ehrm... useless to have all that data for one case floating around seperate tables. I don't know... it seems so much more complex (having to create multiple relations, multiple PK's per table etc.).
Where do I draw the line? For example the image attached (relationship2.jpg): now I have one PK in the table holding the clients (clientnr), two PK's in the table holding the case date/time info (clientnr and casenumberdatetimeinfo), three PK's in the table holding the techinfo (clientnr, casenumberdatetimeinfo and casetechinfonr). And what's next? Four PK's in the table holding the sold productsinfo? Five PK's in the table holding the invoice info? And what about the relations between those tables? Right now I can still comprehend.... but when I start thinking ahead, I'm starting to get dizzy. So some advice on this would really be highly appreciated.
3. Which build up of the relations between the tables in the dbase is better? The one in relationship.jpg or the one in relationship2.jpg?
IThe db has a form called ClientFormNew which logs client details into a table called Clients.Each client has a unique client ID in the table called ClientID. Sometimes Clients call back for further information and we want to log that information into a related table called ClientHistory.Each record in the ClientHistory table has a unique ID called HistoryID which is the same number as the ClientID so these fields are related.
When a client calls back and the telephone adviser opens up the ClientFormNew form and discovers they have called before they need to click on a button called Client History which then opens up the ClientHistoryForm..I am struggling with the code to put on the Client History button as I want the new form to display the details of the clients first contact then allow details of the second contact to be added in a new row. Also the new form needs to show all that client past history which would be in the form of the following fields from the ClientHistory table.HistoryID, ContactDate, Name, ContactMethod, ContactReason, AdviceGiven, Notes.
I have been having problems with opening a form to add new records only. I have gone through all possible solutions but somehow the problem persists.I want to add new records only and not view any of the existing records. I have set the form properties to Date Entry Yes, Allow additions to Yes, Allow Edits to No. The form opens through a command button on another form and the vba code is the following.
I have a main form "FrmTimesheetEdit" that I open in edit mode to review data in a query that uses two tables TblEmployee and TblTimeSheet. The TblEmployee has two fields called EmployeeID, and Employee. The Tbltimesheet table has a field "Weekendingdate" and "EmployeeID".Prior to loading the mainform I launch a form "frmEmployeeReportRange" that allows me to specify via combo box the Employee I am interested in and also the time periods I am interested in being "Beginningdate" and "EndingDate" These in turn are criteria for my query that supplies data to the main form "FrmTimesheetEdit" Everything seems to work ok.
However the first time I open the main form It open a form/window saying "Enter parameter Value" for EmployeeId, BeginningDate and Ending date respectively. Then the subform loads "frmEmployeeReportRange" which allows me to specify Employee plus beginning and ending dates. I select Employee from the combo box say "Emp1" and specify Beginning and Ending dates of 1-Jun-2013 and 30-Jun-2013. I then make the form invisible and the mainform opens up.I do this but get no records. If I close the main form "FrmTimesheetEdit" and reopen it the subform pops up as expected. It is preloaded with the data I entered the first time i.e. Emp1 plus 1-Jun-2013 and 30-Jun-13...If I leave the dates the same but select the next employee "Emp2" and them make the form invisible the mainform opens in edit mode as expected but with the records and dates specified for Emp1.
Bottom line it would appear that although the filter data is specified for the query that feeds the main form it is not requerying prior to opening the form. I have tried having the "frmEmployeeReportRange" launched as a VBA event on each of 'On Open' , 'On Load' and 'On Current' but no matter where I put it the results are the same in that the mainform is not requerying the data prior to opening.
i am currently developing a database what i need to do is to restrict user to view selected record and change them. i have build a login form in which i have two areas as a user name in combobox and a password text box. i have another form in which i have a combo box named area what i need to do is to limit the area combo based on the selection of the user login form previously. for example if a user select LAS VEGAS in user combo and enters its password after clicking the button login the another form appears in which thier respective stores and sales are saved, their is a combo box named area in which i want to limit it by LAS VEGAS i mean it would only show LAS VEGAS in drop down based on the previous selection in login form.
I have a form that displays a stock inventory, one of the fields I use is called [ItemCode].
On the Stock_Inventory form I have 10 command buttons that open other forms to display additional product information.
These were previously sub_forms that sat in a tabbed control box within the Stock_Inventory Form but as it now takes a while for the form to load (lots of queries running each time you search for a product) users are getting slightly frustrated.
So, what I decided to do, was move each subform from the tabbed control into a new form and open that form when it is needed by the user.
OK, when I open Stock_Inventory and search for a product [ItemCode = "ABC123"] and then want to see the Sales_History, I have to open my new form, Stock_Inventory_Sales_History, within this form are two sub-forms, each subform has a field called [ItemCode].
However, when Stock_Inventory_Sales_History opens it asks me to input the parameter [ItemCode] twice, I presume this is because the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History does not have a record source and that the subforms need [ItemCode="ABC123"] to run each query and return the data.
I need to pass the [ItemCode] from the Stock_Inventory form to each of the 2 Subforms that are on the Stock_Inventory_Sales_History form automatically.
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
I have made up an Access database form for our Sickness Administrators to fill in when someone is off ill. I want the form to only show (on the drop down list of names) the people that that particular SA deals with - for example, Jill would enter sickness records for the Democratic, Legal & Personnel section. I am not sure how to go about this:
a) if I have one table with all of the employees names on it, is there a way of restricting Jill from seeing any names other than the ones that she deals with?
b) if I have separate tables for each section, would that be easier? and if so, do I just make a "switchboard" for them to click on the appropriate list?
I just wanted to ask whether it is possible to restrict records/rows in a table that has the same values (same date to be exact).
For example, I have an order form and wanted to restrict to only 20 orders per day (could be of any date; not restricted to the current date only). Therefore, if more than that, a message box will appear and no more record will be allowed to be saved.
Hey guys- New here, and fairly new to Access as well (although I can stumble my way around). I am building a database in which I have to import the data on a daily basis (there won't be much, if any, data entry- just manipulating/Queries of the imported data). One of the fields I am importing is a 'category' type field. There's no way to restrict the data entry aspect of it before I import it into my DB- so I have to work with what I got.
The users type in the categories themselves- many all match the same name/spellings, some do not. So I assume I'm going to have a Category table with all the acceptable categories already entered into it. What I need is some way for the ones that don't fit the acceptable Category names to be flagged- once flagged I need to be prompted for each record if I want to ADD the category to the Category Table, or, if I want to match it to an existing category in the category table. If I choose to match it to an existing category, it will always keep that new category name so that queries and whatnot are consistent.
An Example- The acceptable Category name might be 'Fruits'. Upon importing the file- there might be entries that match that exactly, or- some might be entered as-
The Fruits Fruits II The Fruity Ones
If these three were to be in the import file- I want to be prompted to change the field entry to 'Fruits' or create a new category name, and associate that with the new name.
I'm working on a data-entry form and would like to restrict the data that I enter on certain fields to alphabetic characters only i.e. a -z, A - Z and Spaces.
I have created a db and would like to apply the format of the attached zip file
I cannot seem to work out how it was done cutting and pasting the code is not working either if someone could take a look and give me a simple method of creating the desired solution i would be very greatful
The button to access the password will be called DCC Log In.
This will then allow the Command Button DCC to be Clicked (Previously Hidden as in the example)
This opens the DCC Form (already achieved by =openForms("DCC")
I want to restrict the number of times each person can open a database, but give them the option to force close the database on another PC, if they have left it with the database still open, prior to allowing them to have full access / functionality of the database on another PC.
In order to achieve this, I need advice on how to automatically record the computername as each person "logs in" to the database and secondly, send a command to close the database / Access on a PC with the stored computername.
In a table I have 3columns with the primary key of MemberID. Of the columns in question, one is StudentID and the other is StaffID. What i want to do is that if a use enters the information in MemberID, he will not be able to input in the field in StaffID and vice versa.
I am trying to set up a database to track truck maintenance, repair, and inspection records for a trucking company. Parts are ordered from vendors, and I have forms set up to facilitate the entry of the information regarding those orders. The problematic form is based on a query. In that query (this form and query deals with the purchase details - product, price, extended price), the product ID is gathered from the inventory transaction table, the product name and price are gathered from the product table (I did this so that price would enter automatically).
Of course, when I change the price, it is changed across all related orders, including those that have been saved previously. I know that the problem more than likely stems from having the info pulled from the products table. I'm just at a loss as to any other option to have the price automatically pulled.
I am new to Access and am currently learning it so that I can construct a database of trivia questions.
I have a "Questions" table with question, answer, type, etc. This table is linked to a "Categories" table with a many-to-many relationship using a junction table called "Questions_Categories". The "Categories" table is also linked to a "SubCategories" table with a Categories as the parent and SubCategories as the child. I have attached the database for ease of understanding.
When I enter data into the "Questions" table using datasheet view, I open up a subsheet that shows me the Category and SubCategory fields which have their own lookups.
My problem is the following: I want each category to have its own set of SubCategories. For example, the "Region-Specific" category has "Canada", "London", and "Ontario" as sub categories. However, the movies category should not have any sub categories. The problem is that when I choose Movies in the sub datasheet, the subcategory lookup still shows Canada London and Ontario when I don't want it to show anything. It doesn't make sense to have a Movies category with a London subcategory.
Basically i have a single database with several tables in it. I want certain tables such as Ireland, UK, US etc to only be accessable by employees from those countries. Is this possible and if so, how?
I have looked at user/group permissions but can't figure out how to assign passwords to users etc.
To the point: I have a column which is a combo box (list) consisting of all the departments of company. I don't want 4 of the departments to show up in my query results. In the criteria field I have tried to use the following:
// Note: I've even attempted to place those departments inside parenthesis. And use ; between the names.
Other criteria I have attempted to use without the results needed are:
1.) Not In
Note: some of the department's name consist of a single name; some are two names with a space between the two names. I have entered the names in the same letter case as they were created in the table's combo list.
I have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.
The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.
What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.
