i have a table that holds Electronic Gift Card details (those plastic store gift voucher cards). it holds all details of every transaction for every card, so the card number, activations, redemptions, dates, times, transaction values etc. are all recorded in my table.
i have attached a small extraction in a spreadsheet.
a single gift card can have multiple transactions against it throughout its lifespan. there are sometimes error transactions, and i need to write a query that finds these error transactions (they are all flagged with a "1" in the [reversal flag] field, so that bit is easy) but then also then the next transaction that occurs on that card. this subsequent transaction will not be flagged with a "1", but is a reversal of the error and will have an "802" flag in the [transaction type] field.
each transaction is date stamped hh:mm:ss, but i don't know how to write a query that will
1) find gift card number that has a reversal code of "1"
2) find next transaction made on that gift card based on transaction time
3) check that subsequent transaction type is "802"
4) select both transactions
5) repeat for entire table
i can't seem to get the desired result just using a straightforward query, and i don't know much (or any!) VBA in access.
I have an existing database with multiple tables. Two tables have the same primary key Cab#.
1. When user clicks on the form on the menu form, I want to request the Cab# value from the user. 2. Then I want to get the record from the first table CabData based on the entered Cab#. 3. Then I want to create a new record for the second table Rides with five fields from CabData table inserted into the Rides record. 4. Then I want to display the new Rides record to the user for updating. 5. Then I want to save the new record to the RIDES table.
What is the ACCESS termonolgy to do each step? Are there any special details I should watch for?
I have a query that I would like to run from a form. I have created the button and the query, but want to add in a clause that will use the user selected record / field as the criteria for the query when its run.
I have a list of client stored in a table "Clients". I would like a form to present a user with the next client in the list at the click of a button, but there will be some exceptions:
Some clients will be given priority, and should be moved to the top of the list although they may not be the next logical entry in the table. Priority clients are indicated by a field "Priority" with a Yes/No option set before work begins.
Some clients will have requested a call at a certain time of the day - This time will be stored in a field named timeToCall. The next user to click the button after the time has passed should be given that clients details.
When the end of the list is reached any clients who could not be contacted will be tried again. My table currently has a field "Attempts" to track this, but that may not be needed. Clients who have been dealt with will be removed from the "Clients" table to a "Completed" table.
Whichever record is selected will be flagged as being dealt with so that 2 people don't get the same entry. I may add a new field for this, but right now I plan to use the "attempts" field to control this
I am unsure of the best approach to the above, I'm not very well-versed in Access, but if I were doing this in Excel (as originally requested by my boss) I would do it like this:
Use a form where the "Next" button will use VBA code to first check if there are any priority clients, then check if there are any timed client's ready to call and then move to the next entry that has had 0 contact attempts. Whichever record is the next one will be displayed in the form to the user.
Hello All... I'm very new to Access.. so please forgive my ignorance..
Here is the scenario..
I have a table with two fields named "item" & "description" that contains 10 records total.
I have another table with 100 records with the fields "invoice #","item", "price paid","date paid","time paid". The item fields are linked between the two, and the 100 records contain different invoices for these ten items.
I want to pull the price paid off of the latest invoice, based on the time and date... What is the easiest way to do this?
I have set up a form and only want to display the date and time that will appear automatically based on when the record was created. I definitely don't know how to do this.
The format that I'm looking for is: 07/24/13 11:45:44pm
From what I can see I would need two separate fields to accomplish this. I would prefer to only use one if possible. I would like to execute the value within the new record as it is entered. That date and time from that point should never change.
I will want to use the date and time in the future for quality control.
I would like to select a record from my combobox dropdown list and have that record populate in my subform. Currently, I am only able to select the 1st record at the top of the dropdown list to appear in my subform. But I would like to select any record from the dropdown list and have it populate my subform.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
create a macro that automatically fills in the next invoice number in sequence",,I'm assuming this macro would look at the value of the previous record and add a one to itI don't want to use a AutoNumber field as I might need
I have a form 'Players' which has a field called Contact. When adding a new record to the Players form, the user has to select an existing contact or add a new one (they cant just type in a name).
(There is a contacts table)
So, i want a button next to the contacts field.I want it to:
1. If there is already a contact selected on the form, the contacts form open at this contact, so can be edited.
2. If there is no contact selected, the button will take the user to the contacts form, but will display the first record in the contacts table. From here the user can select the contact they want.
This is what i have (code below). With this code, if there is a contact already entered, the contacts form loads with that contact select, which is correct. However, if no contact has been selected, the contacts form opens with a blank record; whereas i want it to open at first record!

I have a subform containing a list of Funds and attributes such as Asset Type, Fund Manager, etc.
Currently, I have a textbox, where the the control source is set so that it will be updated with the Asset Type from the subform.
I also have an unbound combo box that contains a list of Asset Types queried from a table via row source, where user can select the Asset Type.
What I would like is when a record is selected from the subform, the Asset Type is selected on the combo box as a default value. User can select another Asset Type if required. How can I do this?
what I want to be able to do is use the main form and search on postcode surname and display the records that match in the subform and then allow the user to select which record to add additional data to
I have designed an UserForm in Excel, the aim is to copy selected data from Access (tblIndex) to Excel. The form of the Access database is as following: Country Type Date Index ....... ...... ...... ......
The UserForm contains a ListBox "ListCountry" and a ComboBox "ListType" to select country and type, and a ListBox named "ListCT" with two columns for selected country and type, and two TextBox (TextDateSta and TextDateEnd) for the user to Type in start date and end date. What I want to do is to copy the records of the selected Country, Type, and Index from the start date to end date. I suppose I should use SQL like:
strWHERE, I do not know how to define the condition here. The clause below is what I mean, but it looks weird and it does not work.
Num = LiqForm.ListCT.ListCount For i = 0 To Num - 1 strWHERE = "WHERE tblIndex.Type = LiqForm.ListCT.List(i,0) AND _ tblIndex.Country = LiqForm.ListCT.List(i,1) AND _ tblIndex.Date > LiqForm.TextBoxSta.Text AND tblIndex.Date < LiqForm.TextBoxEnd.Text"
I posted this in the table section however it is better suited here I think.
I have a field in a table that I imported in. This field has the first/last/ and Middle initial all in one. So name=Frank H. Urtz.
So I want to set my criteria to say something like give me everything up to the first " " as expr1. Give me everything from first " " to second " " as expr2. Give me everything thing from second " " to the end as expr3.
Hi All, I hope I can explain what I am trying to achieve.. I have a "Top 1" query (Qry_Avail_StockItem), which selects the next available record in a table. I have a main form (Frm_MasterStock) with a command button "Add Record". If the user clicks the "Add Record" button, I need the form to go to the record that the query has selected.
is it possible to create a new record based on the information on an existing record? I would hope to do this from a form view - as an example, I would be hoping to create a new invoice based on a previous invoice. So if you search a previous invoice, then I would hope for a button that would then create a new record with some of the fields completed using the current record details - such as customer name, customer address etc. Nothing too specific, but a few things that would mean you didn't have to input everything all over again.
Possible example below: Existing Record
Customer ID Customer Name Customer Address Customer Phone number Items Cost
Hello All, In my table, I have some records that are duplicated (aside from the primary key). How can I select only one record from each set of duplicated entries? (There may be more than 2 of each of the duplicated records, but I only need to pull one of them...doesn't matter which one.)
i.e...Like a 'Find Duplicates' query, but only returning the top 1 primary key from each duplicated set.
The last version of Access I've used was 97 but I'm getting back into it. I've read a couple of things that recommend creating a form based on a query, not a table, especially if a calculated field is involved.
When I create a select query based on 1 table, I can change/add/delete records right in the results of the select query, which will carry over to the form just fine.
However, when I use an additional table and join them in my select query, I can no longer update any of the fields that show in the query result. The link I'm using is just a 1 to 1.
How can I get around this? I'm using the second table just for lookup purposes (use the value of one of the fields in a calculation), but I want to be able to update the fields from table 1 from the form.
I don't quite know if I am heading down a blind alley here. I want to filter a form to show a subset of the records via a toggle button. Click again and you go back to the full record set.
The form is based on a query and the filter is to be based on a copy of the query with several criteria and sorts added. This will result in a record set of active projects comprising about 20% of all records (65 out of 253). The sorting sets the record order to match the main management report and so the Planner can update the active records by navigating through the record set rather than having to search for each record using the Find button.
If what I am trying to do is not the way to achieve the desired result, I'd be grateful for any pointers elsewhere.
I want to try to restrict the user not always changing the record, so i need a Disable combo box command. And i did try it by using "Name.Enabled = False" after user select the value from the combo box, but the program won't let me do that because of the record is on focus. So what can i do? I only have an idea of after the user select the value from cbo then jump the cursor immediately to the second column, but anybody can tell me how to do that? Thanks alot!
Hello! I am building a report that tracks excessive call-in's for my hospital's employees. Data is entered into a form which then is stored in the table (duh!) "Call-In's." I have a query that lists all those who have more than 5 call-in's.
Here is the problem: In order to get the sum of callin's per person, I did a totals field in my original query and counted on Name. But now I needed to know the sum of each person's, and so I had to do a cross-tab query that included the name, department, the count (from the first query) and then I summed on the count field. What a mess, right? Also, I added a field for If >5, Yes, No.
I based my Excessive call-in's report on the final (above) query. Like this:
Call In's table Name, Department, Date of Call in, Call in type
Call-in's query Name, Department, Date of Call in, Call in type, Count of Name
Call-in's crosstab Rows: Name (GROUP BY), Department (GROUP BY) Columns: Count (SUM) and total of Count (SUM)
Excessive Call-In's query Name, Total of count, iif >5, Yes, No
There are already 54 records in the table, one of which has excessive call in's (more than 5).
Is there a way to run a report that not only lists the person's name and number of call in's but also the date of each one and the call in type? Both of these are fields in the call-in's table.
When I try to combine my Call-In's query with my Excessive Call In's query I get the matrix. Example: I get the same record for however many callin's they have. Thank for your help. I'm so sorry this is complicated. I've got to be doing something wrong, or at least inefficiently. Does any of this make sense? Thanks again.
Okay - have hunted the web for the answers to this query on and off for months. Thought I had something but it didn't work.
Problem - basic form with subform of a 'select * from table' dataset. So far I've added one textbox. I'd like this textbox to show the recordnumber selected in the subform or the KeyID of the record selected in the subform. This is so I can populate other textboxes with details of that record for editing and then control/validate data entry.
Have tried: form timer, form load and some version of seltop (not bothered about selheight at this stage) - sort of worked but not properly - at least it gave 'an' answer but not always the correct one and you had to click in and out of the subform to generate an answer.
Private Sub MySubform_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Text4.Value = MySubform.Form.SelTop End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.TimerInterval = 10000 End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer() Text4.Value = MySubform.Form.SelTop End Sub
I think the _MouseUp sub isn't working as its not a recognised event for a subform.
I started looking at various DisplayRowID, SelRecord functions (in a separate module) run from a command button in the form footer but that's not really the right sort of thing and the referencing to the subform is a bit iffy.
I'd be grateful if anyone could advise on, even complicated, code. Thanks, Lez
I have a table that stores price records with a field for the effective date but there is no field for the inactive date. How can I write a query to return the price for a date that falls between recorded effective dates?
Example: A record exists for 12/03/2005 and the next is 01/04/2005. How can I find the effective price on 18/04/2005?
