Searchable Database
Apr 15, 2008
I want to create a database of my employees. I want it to include their name, an assigned number, a list of their certifications in certain areas, and a date certified/expires to go with each certification.
I also want to create a form that displays all this info the same for everybody, like a profile page that just draws the info from the database. I also want to be able to put it online and have someone be able to do a search, type in the assigned number or a name,and have the profile page be displayed. If anyone has any ideas or could help, it would be appreciated.
Thank you

Is there a way to make an MS Access database searchable and sortable when it is online? I have used asp to display records from a database, but would like to know if there is a way to make it sortable/searchable. For example: If there are 300 records displayed, how to make it so that an online user can sort by certain fields, or search for certain records? It would make it easier for the user to "group" things to suit their needs.

I have been tasked with creating a database but I have no previous experience using access. I will be using version 2007. I have to create a database of vendors. These are vendors from all round the world who sell my company different products. So far I have 9 spreadsheets with lists of hundreds of vendors from different sections of the company.
I need to create a database that allows someone to search for a vendor and all the details will appear. The excel sheets have columns for vendor name, country based in, commodity type, address, contact name, phone number, email address and which part of my company use the vendor (an abbreviation). Not all of the information is available for each vendor.
Ideally I would be looking for something with search buttons, filters and the option to just show all vendors.

We have a database that has the records of the artwork that we own. (We are a textile company). This database is used mainly to record any new artwork that we buy and to add information such as size, category, style, etc. We now want to be able to link all the scan images for this artwork to each record in the database. I know how to do one record at a time by linking it to the scan image, but is there a faster way to automatically do it because we have about 13,000 pieces of artwork? Each record has a unique artwork number that we also used to save the scan image and all the scan images are in one folder.
Then once we accomplish this, we need to be able to create a way that the design staff can quickly search the artwork. The goal is for the designer to specify certain parameters, like size, category and style and then have Access provide all the images that follow the parameters.

I've attempted to attach a Word Doc that shows fields I've labeled (customer, date, application & so on). Is there a way to put all this into an Access Document, and create a database that I could search by customer, or by serial #? I've got about 400 of these, but it's all in folders on paper now, would be much easier to do it in an Access database.

hi
I'm currently designing a searchable ceramic gallery and have a problem with my SQL querying.
I have the artworks entered in the database as unique entries and have entered the artists forename and surname in separate columns so that they can be seached for by the first letter of their surname.
The problem is that when a user searches for an artist the results return as many results as there are artworks, rather than artists, in other words if 'harry potter' has 20 pots he appears 20 times.
Please can anyone advise me how to best ammend my query so that he appears only once!

Default Searchable Tagged List...I'm trying to create a list of items that allows me to tag each item with essentially unlimited tags and perhaps a limited number of other fields. Later, I'd like to be able to search that list for specific items by the tags that they have. Finally, I'd like to either export or copy/paste the results.

I have a searchable form that display information on agreements other companies have with us. If a company requests an inspection we have 30 days to go out and complete it.
I am trying to create a message box that will display all inspections that are due within 5 days when the form loads. No luck so far, only broken dreams.
Is it possible for message boxes to use expressions and display information that fits the criteria?

I'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.

Database: 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?

I 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?

I 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!

I'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.

I 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.

I 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. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,
~Kilch :eek:

I have a car dealership database and have a servicing section.
I want to create a form to service these vehicles.
The only vehicles which will be displayed on the from are the sold ones (because you cannot service a vehcile which hasnt been sold) which i have a query for.
I also want the form to display the customer who owns the car the service details (eg what they need), the parts availiable and the parts required for the service.
The calculations i need to make in this form are as follows
quantity needed (parts required table) - quantity in stock (purchasing customer parts table)
quantity needed (parts required table) * price (Parts Table) + labour (servicing table) = part/labour costs (servicing table)

Hi all,
I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.
I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?
I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.
Please help
Thanks!
