Small Code In Need Of Review
Jun 24, 2005hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Help is appreciated.
Here is the code that I was thinking of, I don't think its right but it might be a start.
Dim Count As Variant
Dim CountImplementedTotal As Variant
CountCost = 0
CountImplementedTotal = 0
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordSet("ECM Details")
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst![AUDIT ID] = Forms![audit info]![AUDIT ID] Then
If rst![Has Measure been Selected] = "YES" Then
Count = Count + rst![Total Measure Cost]
End If
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Text47.Text = Count
Review Date Calculation
Aug 28, 2007Hi
I have a database for maintaining procurement contracts which includes a start date for each contract and a frequency of reviews required (monthly, qrtly, bi-annual, yearly). I need to be able to generate a report that will tell me when the next review is due for each contract, taking today's date into consideration.
This is the setup so far:
tblRegistry - contains field 'Commence' for the start date of the contract and 'Review Req' to indicate how often a review is required (monthly, yearly etc).
tblReviewReq - contains field 'Review Frequency' (monthly, yearly etc) and 'Days' to assign the number of days eg monthly = 30, yearly = 365 etc.
Next I have a query that includes the above tables using the fields 'Commence' and 'Days' and have created a calculated field to give me the next review date ie contract start is 1/08/07, review freq is monthly (=30 days), therefore the next review is 1/09/07. "NextReview:[Commence]+[Days]"
But how do I get it to tell me the next review date after the 1/09/07? Ultimately I'd like to be able to pull a report at any stage which will tell me all the reviews that are coming up.
Thanks
Review Recent Changes Made
Nov 6, 2005Hello,
This is my first post.
I have built an access database (Access 2002) which contains around 370 records.
It would be useful to be able to click a button on a form to review which records (forms) have been amended or what records are new.
This could be presented by either (1) sorting the records so the newest/or latest changed records came first, followed by the next most recent etc etc, or by (2) presenting a list of record names which could be followed manually.
I have tried several text books but have been unable to find a solution so any help from the experts would be very welcome.
Thank you ~ David.
Please Review And Critique My Table Design
Sep 23, 2005I'm trying to create my own events (issues, action items et al) log database for project management.

Review Dates Query Results
Apr 18, 2008Hello everyone,
Using Acess 2007
This is what I have:
I have one Query with the following:
Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main.Last Name, Main.Assigned Date
I created a Daily Report using this Query to tell me when I need to meet again with these people.
I have a Report that has the following:
Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main. Last Name, Main.Assigned Date, [Assigned Date]+30,[Assigned Date]+60,[Assigned Date]+90,[Assigned Date]+120,[Assigned Date]+150,[Assigned Date]+180
What I would like to do:
The current report shows ALL records with the requested information. How can I have the Query or Report filter out the records that do not have any of the review dates falling on today's date?
I hope I explained myself. If further explanation is necessary let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Car Event Db 95% Finnished - Please Review A Few Small Errors
Feb 5, 2006This database is for a car event that's held once a year. It has been a work in progress for about 15 weeks now and is basically finished. There is only a couple of errors and not sure where to start. The database is so big it is getting a little out of reach for me to organize everything.
Idea of the database is that I can enter entrant's information, there car details and any merchandise they want.
Main errors I’ve noticed are;
In email form if you select one user it still emails everyone.
In the car details form the induction box does not show the value list I created in the car table.
when entering a t-shirt in the products form you select the shirt size. Is this the best way to lay this out.
In the Order Form what is the best way to add a freight box between Sub-Total & Total where you can type the freight in and it's automatically added to the Total Box
Have a look over the db and let me know what ya's think.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedReview - Table Design - Meter Reading / Adjustments
Aug 3, 2005I am working on a database to keep track of meter readings from several meters. Am at the table design stage and have come up with two seperate table designs but am wondering what would be best.
Each individual 'Meter' tracks more than one 'Fuel'. All of the regular meter readings should occur on the last day of the the month. The difference between the current month's reading and the reading from the previous month is the usage for the current month.
Though rare, there are occasions when there could be adjustments to the meter. A meter may be reset to 0 or to any other number due to a number of issues (replacement, maintenance).
The usage for a Meter-Fuel combination calculated by the current meter reading & previuos meter reading is assigned to current readings' date, As readings should onlt be taken at the end of the month, all other readings should be adjustments ONLY!
Here is my one version;
tblMeter
MeterID (PK)
strMeterDesc
tblFuel
FuelID(PK)
strFuelDesc
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
tblMeterAdjustments
MeterAdjustmentID (PK)
dtMeterAdjustment
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReadingOLD
dblMeterReadingNEW
My other idea was to incorporate meter adjustments into tblMeterReadings and not have a sepereate table for meter adjustments
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
blnAdjustment
The I would create a multi-field index of dbMeterReading, MeterID, FuelID, blnAdjustment.
So data with an adjustment may look like this
dtMeterReading, MeterID, FuelID, dblMeterReading, blnAdjustment
01/31/2005, 1, 1, 900, False
02/15/2005, 1, 1, 1000, False
02/15/2005, 1, 1, 0, True
02/31/2005, 1, 1, 100 , False
I think that the second version is the way to go, since I would still have to create a query to join data from both the reading and adjustment tables in the first design that would look like the data above.
Here what I consider to be the drawbacks to either table structure
Version 1
The first version requires more complicated queries to calculate the difference between meter readings.
Version 2
The second version will require some coding/querying to make sure that there are always two adjustment records for one date and determining which is the pre-adjustment and post-adjustment meter reading since it may not be true that the meter is reset to zero; it may even be set at number higher than the pre-adjectment reading.
Any thoughts on which design is better? Or any problems I could run into later with designing forms/queries/reports that perhaps I have not thought through?
THANKS!

View 2 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Tracking Form - Code Does Not Review All Subform Records
Jun 5, 2013I'm having some problems with VBA code I'm writing that references a subform. I'm pretty new to VBA and am not sure what the problem could be. The parent form (TrackingForm) tracks dates different tasks were completed. The subform (Child2) tracks exceptions that also need to be marked completed. I need ALL dates to be marked as completed before the entire tracking record can be marked as completed.
I have the following code entered into the OnFocus event of the tracking records Me.Completed_Date field:
Private Sub Completed_Date_GotFocus()
If IsNull(Closing_Date) Or IsNull(Package_Received) _
Or IsNull(Upload_By) Or IsNull(Initial_Review_Date) _
Or IsNull(Me.Child2.Form![Date Exception Completed]) Then
Me.Completed_Date.Locked = True
MsgBox "Completed Date cannot be entered - outstanding items.", vbOKOnly, "Warning!"
Else: Me.Completed_Date.Locked = False
End If
End Sub
What ends up happening is that, if there is more than one exception record on Child2, the code only seems to care if one of the records (usually the first record) has something entered in the [Date Exception Completed] field. I can't seem to make it look at any successive records in Child2 to ensure they are also completed prior to unlocking the Me.Date_Completed field. I have googled this extensively over the last day and the only response that seems to recur involves using a Recordset function that I have never used and am unsure how to.
General :: User To Review Address Register - Auto Alert When Changes / Additions Made
Sep 27, 2012I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.

Database Size Limited To 2GB / Query Multiple Database Without Linking Tables?
Sep 7, 2011I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.

Sep 12, 2012Database: Access 2007
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
General :: Database For Metal Market Prices To Be Used In Another Database
Jun 24, 2015I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
Jet Database Engine Error On Non-shared Database
Jul 7, 2005I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.
I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.
Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.
Thanks!
Best Way To Import SQL Database To Local Access Database?
Dec 25, 2005I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCreate EXE From Database And Have Several Project Using Same Database
Oct 24, 2013I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open.
and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
Linking To Another Database From On Database
Nov 20, 2006I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate.

Does anyone know how this is done?
