Selecting Items And Automating Actions

May 19, 2012

I have a report, which shows all unsold items for a particular auction date, and I have created a form using this report.

I'd like my sister in law, to be able to go through and easily select which items to relist, and which to return.

I've tried using a subform, but I've either not done it correctly, or its not quite the right tool for the job. I've tried listbox control but can't get it to work properly either.

Once she has gone through the list ticking one or the other, I'd like to be able to automate with a button "Relist" and a button "ReturnItem".

I'd like Items to be returned - to automitcally close item off so it no longer incurrs a weekly listing fee and change status to "ReturnToSeller" and the relist ones, to create a new entry line into the main item table, with replicated information, except it clears out the "lot number", as they enter that manually when the generate a new list for the next auction, my ID numbers remain current and unchanged but the tableID is automated to a new one which is my key number.

then on my invoice, I get for instance, 3 rows for one Item, which could have 3 different lot and ID numbers, and get a listing fee of £1.20 for each week you see.

How can I automate the actions to relist and Return to Seller?

Selecting Two Items From A Single Field

Jan 2, 2007

I want to be able to perform an AND search on a field where both specified values must be present for an item to be selected.

I have a table with some properties of items. Each record in the table is for a specific item and one of its properties. Say for instance that I want to list the items that are described with both "red and green". Assume that there are entries for widgetA to widgetG with colors "red, blue, yellow, purple" and widgetB and widgetE also has the property "green" in addition to the others ... the query should return widgetB and widgetE only.

I tried to use MSAccess 2003 query builder but cannot get the AND result to work. I switched to an OR and verified that the two values I am searching for do exist for two items in my table.



Here is the SQL statement that did not work.
SELECT Properties.PropertyIndex, Properties.HerbOilLink, Properties.PropertyTypeIndex, Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex
FROM PropertyType INNER JOIN Properties ON PropertyType.PropertyTypeIndex = Properties.PropertyTypeIndex
WHERE (((Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=80 And (Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=15));

Selecting Multiple Items On Combobox

Nov 23, 2006

Hello to all .

Have you got any idea ?

I have a List Box in a table and it is set to permit multiple items selection
from it .

The fact is I can select, as I wanted, multiple items from it through
the Form but when I go to the correspondent table to see the results
the selected data from the List Box isn't there .

Note all data selected from the List Box is visible trough the Form but
not the table .

Has this problem anything to do with mismatch in data type configuration on the table ?


Lots of thanks in advance

Miguel

Selecting Multiple Items In Combo Box...

Feb 1, 2005

Is it possible to select more than one item in a combo box? I have attached a sample of a database I am working on. I have a table called Interests and on the Bookings form, I would like to be able to select more than one interest in the Interests combo box, but I can't figure out how to do it. In databases I have seen, you simply have to hold down ctrl or shift to make multiple selections - that's what I want to do.

Can anyone help, please?

Thank you!!

Selecting Multiple Items For Email

Jan 30, 2007

hello once again
Scenario:
I currently have a form that the users can browse through listings of items for sale. While going through the records, they can mark with a checkbox of which items to include in a report to send in an email. The check box is currently part of the listings table, and i then run a query to pull items with the box checked, then put those in to a report, then they can email.

Problem:
about 5 users use this database, so if one user is selecting items that they want it's going to cause a problem for another user to select only the items he wants since it is all updating to the same table. Ex, if I select items 2 and 3 and another person selects items 4 and 5, when I click to show the report, its going to show items 2,3,4,5. Make sense?

Solution:
Since there are only 5 users, I made them all aware of this, and also created a reset selected email checkbox button, that sets the checkbox back to unchecked so the next person can select their own items and email. There has to be a better way to fault proof this, I just can't think of one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Forms :: Selecting Between One And All Items In A Parameter Control?

May 25, 2013

I have a Parameter form which provides various parameters to my queries. The Parameter Form has a Combo box with a list of 50 health facilities which the user can select according to their needs.

There are instances when a user needs data from just one health facility and at times the data is needed for all the 50 health facilities in the district.

How do i address both needs without having to keep adding and deleting the criteria in the underlying queries?

I have added the 'if' condition below in the queries criteria so that if the user does not enter a facility in the combo box, it runs all facilities and if they enter a facility name then the data in the reports is limited to that health facility.

IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Parameter Form]![Combo27]),"",[Forms]![Parameter Form]![Combo27])

It does not work.

Is the expression or VBA code supposed to be entered in the Query or in the Parameter form and how do I make it work?

How To Have Actions At The Close Of Mdb

Jul 13, 2006

How can I perform an action when ever the db closes…
Basically I have a table, users, and when the db starts a logon form is used. Once the logon is successful it records into the user table that a user is logged in. I want to at the close of the db rewrite the record to show that the user is not logged in.

So say user A logs in successfully so then the users table would show
Key | Name | password | logged date | currently logged on(these are the column headers)
Somekey | user a | ***** | somedate | yes

I want to rewrite the yes to a no when the db closes and the user is currently not logged on.
For the rewrite I can use a simple SQL statement to update the users table, the question is where would I place this code, the on close property for the switchboard is not enough, is there an on close property for the entire db.

Prohibiting Certain Actions By Users?

Jan 6, 2007

Hello all,

About 2 years ago, I created a database (my first real one actually) which is extensively used. I havent had to maintain it too much in this time but I was looking at the live table data and noticed that the users are placing inappropriate entries in fields designed for other data such as listing the Company name where the last name of the person should appear and also they are using the first name field for the entire name of the person (lastname, firstname). Knowing this is an issue, I contacted the user who didnt seem to care as thats how they chose to use the database. Since Im the person who created it and Im ultimately responsible for it, I would like to prohibit these types of entries in the future. Does anyone know of a way to force integrity in an example such as what I outlined above? I thought about trying to prohibit the use of a comma in the form field, but then I suspect they would probably choose something else or nothing at all and we would be at the same point with no resolution. Im not trying to be a jerk, but the point of the DB is being tossed away because the users choose to be stupid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve

'Exceeds The Limit Of 1,000 Row (actions) For A Macro' But Does Not Apply!

Jun 17, 2005

Hi.
I have a table used for years. I added new fields bringing number to 160.
When I go to insert another row, I get message saying 'Row inserted in the grid exceeds limit of 255 rows for table or 1,000 rows (actions) for a macro.'

BUT as the number of records had not increased and I am under the 255 limit why the error message?

I tried in vain to copy and compact/repair the database, but still no luck.

Ideas?

Forms :: Buttons To Store Actions And Dates?

Apr 8, 2015

Suppose I need a database with customers, able to store: what different events, were performed on what date.

So let's say possible actions are: a customer called, emailed or visited.

(note, it might be possible that a customer both called, emailed and visited on the same day)

Should I start with four different tables for: customers, called, emailed, visited? Or would the three actions just go into one table?

Another aspect that I don't understand at all yet is how to proceed with the dates.

Should I create another table with a long list of possible dates for the coming x-years?

I would like it to work:

I am thinking about creating a form with buttons behind the terms 'called', 'emailed' and 'visited'. When one of those buttons is pressed, I want an entry for that action, day and customer entered in the database.

So that later on I could e.g. look up on what day how many customers called, etc. etc.

Edit A Query In SQL View To Perform Multiple Actions

Aug 11, 2005

Hi,

How can I edit a query in SQL view to run multiple lines of SQL?

For example I can use the GUI to create a query, then in SQL view enter the following:

DELETE
FROM Employees_copy;

which clears the Employees_copy table. Perfect. But what if I want to do this for mulitple tables in the same query eg for a second table Employees_copy_2 as well? I've tried


DELETE
FROM Employees_copy
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;

which gives a syntax error, as does

DELETE
FROM Employees_copy,
DELETE
FROM Employees_copy_2;

any suggestions?

Automatically Updating Client Settings For Confirm Actions

Feb 27, 2014

how I can automatically change the Client settings either with a macro or code. Specifically for the three confirm actions (Record Changes, Document deletions and Action queries). I have a database that is distributed to end users in different offices around the world. The old way lazy way, was to go to each computer and set these settings to "off" manually, but this isn't possible. I want to be able to run delete queries and action queries in the back end without the end users knowing its happening and having to select yes all the time.

Forms :: Data Not Updating When Open Form - Refresh Actions?

Jan 31, 2014

Test findings showed that when I open a form the data does not update. I added a refresh action after the openform action. If I want to open three forms via the macro, do I need three refresh actions, one after each openform action, or simply a single refresh action that would apply to all three forms.

Scenario 1:OpenForm1, Refresh, OpenForm2 Refresh, OpenForm3, Refresh
Scenario 2:OpenForm1, OpenForm2, OpenForm3, Refresh

General :: How To Manage Items In Set And Individual Items

Jul 31, 2013

I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are

individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F
and 3 pc set = G,H,K

How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.

E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000

A=3000
B=3000
C=3000
D=3000
F=3000

Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.

Automating A Query

Oct 27, 2007

After running an UPDATE or DELETE query I get the typical Yes/No screen (ie. Do I want to procede to carry out the changes?). Is there anything than can be added to the query that would automatically answer YES, and eliminate the Yes/No screen from appearing.

Automating Table Deletions

Aug 30, 2006

Hello,
I have a general table question. I have a VB programmed user interface logging information to a MS Access Database Table. I want to automate it so when you open up the table to view what was logged -- any table entry older than 2 weeks is removed from the table. Will this be difficult? Any suggestions on how to start? Are there any access functions that will do something similar to this? Thanks in advance.

When runs, it tells me the number of rows to be deleted and I have to click "Yes" for it to run. Is there a way to run the query and not have the prompt so it will run without human input?

Automating A Datatype Change

Feb 1, 2006

When I export or do a make table query from Oracle to Access, the new table has some of the datatypes changed. Many of my numberic fields are decimal instead of Long Interger. I then need to go and manually cahnge them back. If I forget or miss one, it crashes another application we use.

Has anyone come up with a solution to automatically go through the table structure and change the datatype from one format to another? This would be a great help.

I am using Oracle 9i and Access 2002.

Thanks for you time

I would like to automate this daily process: In this order import or link, (not sure which is the best option) a fixed width table, add an ascending number to the end of each of the records, reverse the order, and finally export to fixed width .txt documents depending on the quantities in one field. There would be 3 text files exported, max.

Automating Periodic Repair And Compact

Jun 6, 2005

Hi All!


I have Access 97 client and server databases linked together. My system is setup so the database is aware of how many users are currently logged in so Ill know when it is being used exclusively. What I want is some code to check every week that a repair and compact has been performed and if not start one on both the client and the server databases (assuming no one else is in them). Do I need code to delete the LDB files beforehand aswell just in case?

I kind of imagine this check will be performed when the first person logs in of a morning.

Client: rentals_prod.mdb
Server: rentals_data.mdb

Regards,

Dalien51
