Hello,
Does anyone know of an off the shelf application I can purchase to allow users access to my Access database over the web? I have select data I want to allow my customers access to dynamically via the web.
I am familiar with ASP however I am not at a level to develop something from the ground up.
I have access to a Windows Server, an established database and a great desire to get this done.
My vision is to have a daily upload of my back-end (for the sake of current data)to the web server for access via the ASP front end or whatever the case may be.
I am sure to all who read this you understand what I am looking for.
I will definitely entertain hiring someone to work with me on this project if need be. Best case scenario is someone has already done the work and I can just buy it...
Thanks.

I read about your different topics/discussions but still have issues.
The group I work for needs to track Customs entries, compile them for payment and make reports. They used to track the entries in Excel but they wish to do this in a Form = INVOICE TRACKING, be able to query and make reports. My Access knowledge is limited but I have created two tables and the above mentioned Form
The main table= Invoice Tracking (as per the group request) as 37 fields. Starting at the 8th field, data is updated by the users on a daily basis.
The source table = XLS 1127 as 7 fields and is refreshed and updated 2-3 times weekly by a live report on the Internet.
Up to now, when I need to update the main table, I run an APPEND QUERY. Once this is done, I run a FIND DUPLICATE QUERY and I delete the duplicates manually because some of the first 7 fields will get updated this time or some other time and therefore it will create duplicates Entry Nbr in the Main table. Meanwhile the other 30 fields are populated by users with the information supplied by the invoices.
Is there a macro or an expression that could be created to avoid the Query from selecting the duplicates randomly? I have a very basic knowledge of macros and VB but would it be possible to write something that would be like In record #1, IF the field 2 or 3 is empty than look at field 9 and others and if Not Null then get the data in the duplicate record #2, merge the
information from the two records??
When the Main table will grow bigger, it will be too much time consuming to delete XXX duplicates and can cause errors.
Thanks

Hello, I am working on a database of translators. Each of these translators can have multiple Source Languages, and multiple Target Languages. I understand that I must use a many-to-many relationship, but as the Language fields for both Source and Target Languages comes from one table (tblLanguages), I am having difficulty conceptualizing how I can get the table relationship to produce the desired effect; i.e. having a datasubsheet for each translator with fields for each their Source and Target languages.
My current table structure:
tblTrans
TransID
(name and contact data)
tblLINK_Language_Trans
TransID
LanguageID
tblLanguages
LanguageID
I thought that maybe if I create a separate LINK table for each Source and Target Language, I might get the desired effect, but this was futile, as only one datasubsheet was shown.
Any advice for a humble Access beginner would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Last week some very altruistic folks here helped me solve a many-to-many relationships quandry, and I am hoping that there may some others out there who can help with another question.
I have a feeling this is simple, but I can't quite get my head around it, and have not been able to find it in the past forum threads, but....
I want to create a tblJobs that has information about our clients' Companies, as well as Contact. As there can be many Contacts for each Company, my current setup looks like this:
tblContacts
ContactID (Pkey)
Name
Lookup_to_qryCompanies_to_Contact(shows Contact's company)
tblComanies
CompanyID (Pkey)
Company Name
(Client info is included as embedded table based on qryCompanies_to_Contact)
qryCompanies_to_Contact
Company (from tblCompanies)
Contact (from tblContacts) (one-to-many)
In my new tblJobs, I would like to have a combo box in which I can input the company name, and then the next field will have another combo containing ONLY names of the contacts affiliated with the chosen company. (I will also eventually like to make a form that allows the same function, but am assuming that the process will be the same for updating the table trhough a form as it would be updating it directly).
Thank you for any advice!!

Hi
I run a small domestic house cleaning company in the UK. We are currently franchising our concept throughout the UK. I have a requirement for 2 databases, one for my clients & one for cleaners.
Would anyone be interested in creating something like this for me? One of the most frustrating things about databases on the market is that they do not come with a functionality to key in a letter code so that you can easily send letters/e-mails to the people in the database.
If anyone is interested please email me at csinclair@easynet.co.uk (put Access World in the subject box) I will then supply you with screen shots of the type of database I'm looking for.
Thanks

I had some work done on my Database a few weeks ago and it works great.
I just got an email from the guy who did the work and he wants me to pay him more money....he said he forgot to bill me for 6 hours.
I told him I didn't think that was fair and wasn't really willing to pay for more hours....he then said he never sent the "non-expiry" versions of the databases.....he also said I have 15 days left until they expire.
Considering I done additional work on them I was wondering if this is possible?
Bruce
P.S. I hate being taken advantage of.....he was really good to work with but now he's trying to rob me.

Hi all,
I am new here, I am never one to ask for help, but I am desperate to get some assistance and hoping someone may be able to help me. I have just basic knowledge of MS Access, but no where near the skills needed to acheive what I am needing.
To explain, I am involved with a national memorial of all the Truck drivers who have been killed on our roads. I have a database in access, (near 1000 individuals and sadly growing) but wanting to create it into a form style. I also need to add a photograph of each deceased person and a second photograph of the plaque which they are on. Years ago I saw a form which I was impressed with, it looked so professional but never had the oportunity to investigate or disect it :)
I am hoping sks who will enjoy the challenge may be able to assist me.
more about the memorial can be seen at www.tarcuttamemorial.com
Thanks Dianne

Not sure what this covers so if someone could point me in the right direction, so I can get started.
I want to do a search of customers through a button on a form with names, and there you get a list of customer that match your criteria. When you click or double click on that customer you get sent to the main form with all the customer details on it.
thx

We have a small business selling computer products and now we have a website to sell the products on. We have 3 main suppliers each with a few thousand products and currently I am using a macro (many infact) in excel to combine the current data files we get from each supplier into one file that gets uploaded to the website for import. However we would like to move the whole thing over to access to hopefully speed up the daily process of creating the file for upload. I get similar data from each supplier although obviously the columns arn't in the same order etc and one supplier has info that the others do not but what is the best way to set something up so that it pulls all the products in from each supplier and rearranges the data to fit what is wanted.
I haven't used access before but I have time to put into this to try and get it to work well.

Hello,
I am new to this forum and Access databases in general, me and a colleague have been given the task of recreating our course brochure into an online searchable webpage. The web side of things I am ok with, its just the designing of the database that is causing us both endless problems.
Before I go into more detail about what it is that we need and showing the example Access database we have created so far, can I ask if I am posting this is the right section and secondly can I attach a database to a post?
Many thanks

I have a Department status report that each of our department uses to determine in which order to process our cabinets. Management would like to create a form based on this report, so that it is listed in the same order where the user could click a checkbox on each job that was completed. When finished this would update our history table with the checkbox date for the related department.
Report example
JobCode Run Lot SpecialColor Completed(unbound checkbox)
GHHT A 131 Y Y
HHTY Z 13 N
FRBG F 23 Y Y
I created a datasheet form that shows this information. I added an unbound checkbox but if you check one, they all check. I want to able to select lot by lot. I guessing at that point I would need to create an update query that would update tblHistory and the correct department date with date() on the ones that were selected.
Not quite sure how to proceed with this one. The special color field makes a difference on where the date goes. For example if the Mill completes these jobs and it's a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Assembly. If it's not a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Prefinished. The primary key between the two is DelID.

Dont use access much but I have basic db dev. skills. That said, here's my dillema:
I have a front desk entry form fro service calls. There is a entry field for customerID. I would like to auto populate f_name, l_name etc... from just entering customerID. I know what I would do in an SQL situation, but how does that transfer over to access? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi guys,
I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.
I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.
Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.
Let me give you an example:
A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.
I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.
Simple question really...but how is this done?
A million marks for someone who breaks it! Hehe
Thanks

The idea is that I have a table with products. It is joined to another table that has each products ID and then a series of fields that correspond to each month of this year (so 12 fields). These fields contain how many of each product sold in that month. However some products did not appear in inventory until a few months into the year, so they have zero's for those months in which they didn't exist yet.
What I need to do is find the first month that each product went on sale, and pass that field back to my main table to do calculations with.
First I tried to do with with a query, but I ran into a road block and realized that maybe a query wasn't best as I likely needed a loop. So I started writing a function at that point... but it is obviously non functional.
As an example, if I had a product like this:
Product: X
SalesID: 1111
Price: 9.99
Month 1: 0
Month 2: 0
Month 3: 1582
Month 4: 2790
Month 5: 4501
Month 6: 4210
Then the idea of this function would be to look at Month 1, see if it contained a zero. if it did, move to month 2. If it doesn't, then send whatever that value is to a new field in the database.
So in the new table, I would have:
Product: X
SalesID: 1111
Price: 9.99
Month 1: 1582
Month 2: 2790
Month 3: 4501
Month 4: 4210

I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom.
How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs?
Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
I've read this forum for quite a while, but just now registered and this is my first post. It's full of great information and I really appreciate all I've learned!
I'm looking to contract / hire an Access Developer for a small project. Essentially, it's taking a CSV file, importing it into Access, then exporting the data within certain parameters into an Excel spreadsheet. There are a few other small details that pertain to how the data is handled in the actual db itself, but that is the overall picture of the project. It's rather small, but is above my Access knowledge level.
My most important goal is getting the DB functional, but then taking the finished product and breaking it down to learn from it.
Please PM me if you're available to assist on this project. Have a great weekend!

I am looking to create a catalog database. It is to serve as a finished product warehouse, as well as a product development tool. There are a number of fields, most of which are straight-forward.
One large problem I have is that the product descriptions are roughly 700 characters. Is there a way to have this information entered into Access and stored either in this database or elsewhere?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am fairly new to developing with Access.
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.
Thanks in anticipation of any help. :cool:

I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:
Code:
Dim PctBZ As Double
Dim PctBA As Double
Dim PctKI As Double
Dim PctMA As Double
PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)
[Code] ....
It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.

I occasionally run across this term. If the members of this group have a clear boundary between themselves and members of other groups, then please tell me the names of the other groups. If what members of those groups work on is not intuitively obvious, than will you give me a super brief description of what those group do? Thanks so much.
Regarding the term I asked about (and the others presumably), is this term relevent today? Does it have a precise meaning that a professional should clearly understand. Thanks if you can help.

Im in the process of building a database for a friends business, and im a bit of a newbie with access.
Id like to get some opinions on structure and overall how i should build the Database.
My goal is to have two types of clients ... donors and buyers.
A client can be both a donor, a buyer or both.
When a client is a donor, they get a certain amount of credits added to their account.
When a client is a buyer, they will be purchasing those credits from a donor.
heres an example of what i want to accomplish;
John smith donates 500 credits; I enter John Smiths info and credits into his profile;
Jim Doe buys 100 of John Smiths credits; I want the DB to automatically update Mr. Smiths Credits, and then add 100 credits to Jim Does profile.
Also, I want John Smith to be able to purchase credits from Jane Johnson, and again, have the credits added to John Smith and deducted from Jane Johnson automatically.
Get my meaning here?
The tables will also contain the typical client info ...ie; Name, Address, Phone, SSN etc...
Can i/Should i do a seperate table just for credits and link it to the client tables? Should i create seperate tables for Buyers and Donors?
Also, I have an excel spreadsheet with formulas to do credits already, but when i tried to import it into a table in access, it didnt work so well.
Any opinions on table structure, design etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks all for lookin in
