Sorting A Secondary Form
Feb 17, 2005Hello
I have a form that is bound to a table called "date". Date has to fields "date_id" which is a numeric value and "date_description" which is the name of the month.
A secondary form is bound to a table called "Employees" which has fields regarding data about the emploees of a company (eg "surname", name" etc). I use these 2 formes together to select the month of year and show/edit the data of the employees. Everything work perfectly except one last thing. Is it possible that after I edit (or add) a record in the secondary form (table "employees") the secondaty form to be sorted by "surname"? How can I do such a thing? I would be grateful if you give me an example.
Thank you in advance
Sorting A Table, Apply The Sorting To A Form
Mar 10, 2006Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
Associating A Secondary Form
Mar 15, 2005The main form (frmMain) is fed by qryMain. I'd like to put a memo field on a separate form (frmMemoField) to avoid cluttering the main form.
Is there a way to ensure that frmMemoField offers the same record currently displayed on frmMain, please, Experts?
List Box Primary/secondary
Apr 25, 2006Afternoon all,
ac2003
I have a problem concerning how to display records dependant or depending on the current record.
Basically I have a seperate area within the db that gives you the option to set which record(s) depends on or dependant to another record(s) as primary and secondary
When trying to display this info, it is fine for a direct primary - secondary within my listbox, but the complication occurs when the secondary record could also be a primary record of another record (if that makes sense).
for example. The data is as such,
PrimaryID SecondaryID
10 12
12 13
15 10
So from this data, my list box should show 1 record that this record depends on (15) , and in another list box 2 records than depend on this record (12,13)
I'm wondering if some kind of loop code would do the trick but not sure what angle to attack this at.
I would appreciate it if anyone knows a simple solution to this.
Thanks
Kempes.
Main And Secondary Forms
Oct 9, 2006Hi
I have a main table in my database. For each record in this table there may exist 0, 1 or many records linked to it in a secondary table.
I have created a form for viewing the records in the main table, and now want to link to a second form that displays the records in the secondary table, if indeed any exist for the main record being displayed on form1.
Specifically . .
If I can detect whether secondary records exist for each record in the first, how can I pass a parameter (ie Table1id) to the secondary form so that we can view only the secondary records associated with the main record selected ?
thanks

Secondary Forms And Calculations, Pls Help
Oct 11, 2004Hello
I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers. Now , I try to add the "price" field of each record of the secondary form and then show the result in a text box in the main form, so that I can have a total price amound for each producer.I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. Is this so difficult to achieve? Pls help. Thank you in advance!
Tables :: Creating A Secondary Table
Oct 27, 2014I have an Access database, where one of the tables is near the maximum amount of fields (241 of 255), was just wondering if I could set up a secondary table that would be linked to the original table by a specific field and would store the other fields that would like to add to the table.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSharing Objects With A Secondary Database?
Aug 16, 2014Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?
I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.
Chart Primary & Secondary Axis Issue
Jun 13, 2006Hi
I have three figures to display in a chart.
The Total Ongoing Calls
The Ongoing Calls in Area 1
The Ongoing Calls in Area 2
Ideally the Total Ongoing Calls should equal the other two but this is never the case due to calls in wrongs areas etc. To display this I have the Total Ongoing Calls shown as an Area Chart on the Primary Axis with the other two figures shown as a Stacked Area Chart on the Secondary Axis.
This way if I manually fix the Primary and Secondary Axis Scale to the same then I can see at a glance the total in both areas and the discrepancy from the Total. Great.
The issue is that the Primary Axis will almost always be slightly higher than the Secondary Axis which means that whenever the Scale changes I would have to manually change the other Axis. Is there any way, programaticallly or otherwise, that I can link the two Axis together so that if one changes up or down the other changes with it.
Thanking everyone I am about to confuse in advance.

Insert Row Into Secondary Table From Maintenance Form.
Sep 24, 2005Hi,
I can't seem to get this right...any help much appreciated:
I have a two tables LESSON<PAYMENT (One to Many)
LESSON
Lesson_ID (PK autonumber)
Lesson_Date (Date)
PAYMENT
Payment_ID (PK autonumber)
Lesson_ID (FK)
Payment_Date (Date)
I am maintaining LESSON using a simple form. On creating each new LESSON record, I also wish to insert a row into PAYMENT, using values from the LESSON table - Payment_ID(autonumber), Lesson_ID = LESSON.Lesson_ID, Payment_Date = LESSON.Lesson_Date
What is the best way to do this?
I have tried to add an Event Procedure to 'Before Insert' but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Also, for this to work, do I need to paint all fields on LESSON form including (hidden) PK?
I have simplified the tables above but they are relevant to what I am trying to do. Any help would be much appreciated- am new to Access...rather frustrating.
Many thanks,
Simon.
PS I have searched through existing messages but can't see one that answers this, I apologise if this has been answered before- just point me to the orig post.
Min/max From Secondary Table Without Returning Extra Rows From Primary
Mar 9, 2006Hi all, don't know if this is possible, but right now I'm running a query and then performing Dmin/Dmax on each record in the recordset and it's running SLOOOOW. Perhaps if I can get it from a query it would be faster.
I have Table-A and Table-B with a one to many relationship. In the Table-A I preferably need to return only one row per record. From Table-B, I need to return the minimum and maximum record that corresponds to the ID in Table-A.
I am familiar with min and max, but it the join methods I've been using either return multiple rows per ID or none. Any way around this?
Queries :: Append Records From Main To Secondary Table
May 14, 2014 I built an Append Query to take records of 'Leavers' from my Primary Table and add them to a Secondary Table named 'Leavers. This worked perfectly, but on reflection I determined that I needed to append a further column 'Notes' which exists in the Main Table but not in the Secondary Table.I amended the SQL statement as follows, but the query now fails stating that it doesn't recognize the field 'Notes'.
INSERT INTO Leavers ( [Member ID], Surname, [First Name], [Address 1], [Address 2], Town, PostCode, Phone, [E-Mail], Notes )
SELECT [Mail List].[Member ID], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].[Address 2], [Mail List].Town, [Mail List].PostCode, [Mail List].Phone, [Mail List].[E-Mail], [Mail List].Notes
FROM [Mail List]
WHERE ((([Mail List].Leaving)=True));
Does this mean that one would need to recreate a new Secondary Table to incorporate the additional field? I have attempted to edit the secondary table by merely adding the 'Notes' field but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Forms :: Display Data On Form From Secondary Tables
Apr 17, 2013I have a form where I am entering orders. For this, there is only 1 item and 1 customer per order. The Order_Table is the 'general' of the form. However, I want a Customer_name dropdown on the form, and return data to 'display' on the form (but capturing and ONLY storing the Customer_no), once the user makes a selection.
Additionally, in the same vein, I want to have an Item_name list, where the user selects one from the listing, and display (again, no edit) the name. Again, only want to store the Customer & Item numbers on the Order table.Here's the 'general' table layout (I've taken out what doesn't matter):
Table: Order_Table
Order_no
Customer_no
Item_no
Table: Customer_Table
Customer_no
Customer_name
Table: Item_Table
Item_no
Item_name
Modules & VBA :: Adding Secondary Function To Existing Command Button
Nov 12, 2013I have a command button that basically saves the record that i just finished entering. here's the code:
Private Sub cmdAddAnother_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdAddAnother_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70
Exit_cmdAddAnother_Click:
[Code] ....
What I'd like to do now is add a second function that will make all the controls on the form go to null after the record is saved. so the user can start from scratch and add another record.
I tried adding me.refresh right before "end sub" but that didnt work.
I tried adding "me.controlname.value = null" for every control on the form, and that didnt work either.
I also tried adding this code that i found on bytes.com:
On Error Resume Next
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
ctl.Value = Null
Next
That didn't work either.
Tables :: Limit Combo Box Results Based On Secondary Table
Dec 4, 2013I have a DB with 4 tables:
Property (used for look-up values)
Service Type (used for look-up values)
Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below)
Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
Copy Table Post And Secondary Table
Jun 26, 2007I have a problem... I have four tables(but my problem is limited to just two)
The tables are Orders, Customers, Items and OrderedItems
The two more detailed below creates the problem when trying to copy an already existing order to a new since the customers usally order the samethings over and over again.
Orders
IDOrders
IDCustomers
strSalesperson
strWhen
strSent
OrderedItems
IDOrderedItems
IDOrders
IDItems
iNumber
bPacked
So I have made a copy button on the order form. The copy button should do this:
1. First save the old orders IDOrders and IDCustomers (which it does)
2. Create a new order with old data (which doesnt do)
3. Copy all post in OrderedItems with a new IDOrdered using INSERT INTO and using columns
My SQL statement is like follows:
sSQL ="INSERT INTO Orders(IDCustomers, strSalesperson, strWhen, strSent, strComment) VALUES (" & itmpIDCustomers & ",'" & strSalesperson & "', '" & strWhen & "','" & strSent & "');"
But the reply I got is "Could not find output table 'Orders'" but I have checked the names over and over again but it doesnt work.
Sorting?
Jun 14, 2007Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
Many thanks for any help.

Sorting Out By Dob
Jan 1, 2008I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.

Jun 26, 2007In Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".
When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.
For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:
Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse.
Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eulalie.
The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.
Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?
Sorting...
Jan 10, 2007Yet another question! When I run the report, it gives me the results in alphabetical order (i.e. April August, etc) instead of monthly order... Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Oct 4, 2005I have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?
Question About Sorting
Jan 11, 2006I have a table with an alphanumeric field I want to sort on. If I sort the usual ascending way, data that is numeric is sorted before data that is alpha.
Is there a way to have the alpha data sorted ascending come out ahead of the numeric data srted ascending?
Ex:
Currently,
1
2
3
A
B
c
Desired:
A
B
C
1
2
3
Thanks in advance to all who reply!!!
Sorting Numerically
Jan 25, 2006i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!
