I'm working on an inventory database for video tapes. Each tape has a Catagory, Sub-title, Sub-Sub-Title, Professor, Location, and Format. What I'd like is to be able to do is select a catagory from a lookup, and only the sub-titles related to that catagory appear in the sub-title lookup, not all sub-titles in the database. Following suit, I'd like the sub-title I select to bring up a limited list of sub-sub titles. I'd like a lot of things with this database. Unfortunately I have no clue how to go about doing this, which doesn't help me much. I've tried six different ways so far of attacking this, and nothing works (I've been at it for about a week). Does anyone have any suggestions, solutions, reccomendations, whatever? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I've created a table that take the results of a questionaire, with
0 = No 1 = Yes 2 = N/A
For each question I want to count the number of Yes, No and N/A in one query. I can get the result for one question by using Count with the critera set to = 0 or =1 or =2, but can't do it for multiple questions in one query and I don't really want to create 33 query for each answer and then join them.
I have attached the table that I'm using cos I'm not usually very good at explaining things.
I want to create a new field called Tax Deducted that if the tax discount is no, the Tax deducted = Gross Payment * (22/100) but if tax discount is yes, then Tax Deducted = 0.
I'm not sure if i'm supposed to do this in a query or in a report but that's what i need to do. I ask if anyone can tell me what i need to do so that i end up with something like this:
I am trying to figure out how to create a cumulative sum field for a test report I am working on. On a very simple level, I can run queries to get my data into the following format:
Test # | Article # | Test Time | Test Parameters 1 | 1 | 8 | A,B,C 2 | 2 | 5 | A,B,C 3 | 2 | 7 | A,B,C 4 | 2 | 9 | A,B,C
For each test number, I want a separate report page showing the article number, test time, and test parameters. Also on each page, I want to display the cumulative test time for all test numbers up to the displayed test number, but only for the article used in that test.
For this example, page three would have test number 3, article number 2, test time 7, test parameters A,B,C, and cumulative test time on article 2 of 12 (5+7), while page four would have a cumulative test time on article 2 of 21 (5+7+9).
How can I convince Access to do this for me? So far I've only been able to have a cumulative test time for all test articles, not just the test article related to the test number. To make this more complicated, Access needs to be able to have another article added at any time without having to rework the code to create the test reports.
I appreciate any help you can give me that will get me on my way.
I have a two level security system to protect my date. The first uses the MS Access security, the second is a simple login system wherby a user enters their name and personal password to gain a customised view of the data eg if the user is me, I can see all tool bars, other users cannot. What I would like to be able to do is write a query wherby I can use the users login details to diplay only their data. An example of the script I built is as follows
'IF USERNAME AND PASSWORDS CORRECT THEN LOGIN TO THE MAIN SWITCHBOARD
If Me.qpwd.Value = DLookup("PWD", "AUTHORISED", "USERID = '" & Me.quserid.Value & " '") Or UCase$(Me.qpwd.Value) = "abcd" Then DoCmd.Close DoCmd.OpenForm "Course Booking System" Else MsgBox "Invalid Password" End If
Is there a way of including a select criteria like the following
SELECT USERID, DETAIL FROM COURSE WHERE USERID="Me.qpwd.Value"
I have tried several differnet versions for this syntax without success!
I have a DB with 1000+Records. Each record has a "History" field showing the date I last visited (about 20+Visits each). When I re-visit I print Report (A4 size) which gives me the address and previous visits, however I only want my report to show the last 6 visits.
I have tried both a Query & Subform and changed the "Top Values" from ALL to 6, but this only gives the last 6 visits from all records. I need to see the last 6 visits for each record.
I have a table 'Project Details' to which I have recently added a new field 'Last Invoice issued'. This field is a text field with a lookup and will default to 'No' for new records being added. When the related record is updated in my 'Invoices' table, I have set up a query to change 'Last Invoice Issued' to yes. This is all working fine, but it requires all the records in 'Project Details' to contain 'No' already in order for it to work. As there are over 1000 records in 'Project Details' I made a list in Excel of the right number of no's and copied it in. Most records were fine with the exception of 127. I can edit any of the other fields from the 'Project Details' datasheet or my data entry form, but when I try to edit one of the 127, I get a DataType mismatch error. I can't understand since the records are all in one table and have exactly the same DataTypes set up for each field, why I can edit some and not others? Is there some other place where DataType can be set up that may affect some records and not others?
I have tried to copy my table to post here but when I do that, I get a 'Index or Primary Key cannot contain a Null value' error due to the (New) record having the default values already in but the primary key not being filled until I save,.
I am tasked with creating a scientific database of fish catches at various different sampling stations. I envisage the entry form having hierarchy levels, ie year, season, date, sample station, species caught, and then the specific associated data with each species (weight, abundance, length etc) will form each distinct record.
In each year there are 2 sampling seasons. In each sampling season there are up to 20 dates on which samples are taken. On each date there are up to 50 sample stations recorded. And at each station up to 20 species can be recorded.
In order to enter each species caught in a survey, the end user will potentially have to fill the season box with an entry 40,000 times. For each season there will be 20,000 date entries to be made. For each date, 1,000 station code entries, and 20 species entries for each station. What I would like to happen is this.
When the end user is entering the data, he or she will be working through the hierarchy from the ground up. Ie., they will enter a particular species' data (abundance, weight, length etc) at a particular station on a particular date during a particular sampling season. The next entry will be a different species at the same station on the same date during the same season. I would like the duplicated information from the previous record to be copied across onto the new one so that all the end user has to do is enter the species name, abundance weight and length data.
Once they have finished entering all the species data for that particular site, they can move onto the next site which they would fill in the data themselves for the station code. So, in the hierarchy, the first button would copy all the previous data except the species name and associated weight length abundance data. The next button would do the same, except leave the station code blank. The next button would leave the species name, station code and date blank. And so on up the hierarchy. The end user would be able to selectively choose which data is copied over by using these buttons, saving lots of potential extra work doing repetitive entries.
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.
Well, I am facing one problem..in my application; I need to show all forms / reports name of other database( .mdb ) file without opening the other database physically. I tried a lot but didnt succeded. I tried with below code..
Set AcApl = New Access.Application Call AcApl.OpenCurrentDatabase(strfolder, True) Set AcProj = AcApl.CurrentProject
Set frm1 = AcProj.AllForms

But here wen the second line AcApl.opencurrentdatabase get executed at that time the database get open physically, and i dont want that..So is there any other way around..If so..please please help me..
i have a database that runs updates from within itself.what i need is, this database to then open a another database run a update query, then close it.
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.
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.
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 am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
Is it possible to access a table in one Database (Database A) from a separate Database (Database B) and if so how. I should clarify that this is an Access Database.
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.
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)
i havent been able to figure out how to get my subform to work properly.... i've posted in the forms section (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=99624 )
it is really important that i figure this out so that i can keep my job..
how else can i obtain help? even if i have to pay for it?
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.
