So the problem is that I make one Database in Access (Really nice and simple program) .It;s about one Insurance company and my tables is
1 Customers
2 Agreements
3 Traffic (about the money)
So the customer is one but he can have a lot of agreements (In this case it’s about cars and I use Card Ids) and in the end I can see about the car-agreement traffic. 1 costumer 1 or more agreements and in the end the agreement traffic
My problem is that the agreements are for 6 months and for 1 year …I don know how can I I separate them… I need a switch (with 2 only types) Here is the relations in my Database … if you can help me that I would be nice form me ..Thank you

I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
I am designing a database to enter daily/monthly performance numbers for employees and department totals. However, I don't want to have to enter the month and/or day for every category for each employee entered. In looking through these forums, nobody recommends a separate date table. But it seems time-consuming to have to enter the reporting month for every sales category for every employee. To wit:
I have a database with a field LNAME with last names preceded by maiden names in parentheses. I would like a query that would update fields (LAST and MAIDEN) with the corresponding data:
Example – LNAME = (Jones) SMITH LAST = SMITH MAIDEN = Jones
:o I know this isn't rocket science, but since I'm not a rocket scientist (read no VBA - I have registered for a self-taught course, so my annoying questions may become fewer) you may have to bear with me. :o
1. I'm trying to get a subform opened using a command button. The mainform is AddNewTransactions and the subform is SiteDetails. The linking field is TransactionsID. I've tried using the command button wizard, and tried doing it manually with a macro. The SiteDetails shows ALL sites, not just the one connected to the main form. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I haven't found it here yet.
2. I have to convert English decimal numbers to French numbers with a comma. Replace() did the trick except for one small annoyance. It trims trailing zeroes. 0.240 becomes 0,24. Is there any way to force it to display the zeroes? Unfortunately they're not same number of zeroes from one value to the next, so I can't just add them. This more for visual appearance than accuracy so it is not critical.
While trying to "normalize" a developing database, a question has come up. I have two sets of information that will probably never change. Hair color and Eye color. Should these be put into a separate table or can I include those two fields in the table containing information about the person and then use the lookup wizard function in the table design and "type in the values I want"? I am using '97. Thanks.
I have a field that consists of a combo box with 8 items in it. Each of these 8 items is a label for a type of income. I also have a separate field that is the amount of income. Is there a way to show on a report the 8 types of income as 8 columns, and separate the amounts of income into the correct column? I know this involves a query, but I'm not sure where to begin.
I need some advice as to what is the best way for me to update a program in 3 different locations.
I have developed a program that I now have running in 3 separate locations. Each location uses the same program structure and tables, but they will have different data.
When I make a change to the one in our office, I would like to update the other 2 offices so that we all are using the latest version. CURRENTLY: I make a database file with the “forms, Reports, Queries, and modules” necessary to accommodate the changes. Then I, email the file to the other offices. I then try to walk someone there at the office through; “Get Files: Import”, then delete the old files and rename the new ones. This is risky!!!!!:(
I know there is a better way of doing this, I just don’t know it. Can some one help me on this issue? Thanks for all your help….ENVIVA :)
I've been doing a lot of research and reading on databases and normalization and things of that sort because I need to create database from scratch. I've been maintaining a db that someone else made, but it turns out I will have to recreat the whole thing because it's not useful anymore and the users need a more user friendly db. I have a couple of days some are:
The ones I have the arrows for will be a combo box on my form. My question is should I make each of these field a table of its own? For instance make the Product field a table and list all the 13 products there? Or keep the Product field in the tblTOItems and in design view of tblTOItems use the Lookup Wizard and type in my values there to make a lookup column.
I have seen it done both ways, and I was just wondering which way is more efficient.
I created a report where is lists sales volume by day. I was asked to create a table where data can be excluded from this report. The exclusion table consists of only three fields:
Date Department and a check box
What do I need to do in the query to have it exclude the data listed in this exclusion table. The table only holds data we want excluded, not all dates and departments.
I originally added the table to the source query and made the criteria "False" for the check box but when the query runs it does return any data at all.

I am having trouble parsing the month from a date like 05/12/2007 and I want to return the leading zero with the month. Example of 05/12/2007 and I want to display 05 only.
[General Info] has 2 fields. Name(is a primary Key as well) & Organisation
[Details] has 4 fields. Primary Key, Name, No of products & Type
[Details] is a sub form for [General Info]
It is a one to many relationship. With Name from [General Info] linking to Name from [Details].
I can update via the table directly and [Details] links the name fields automatically. I created a form but the form just cannot register the field automatically and requires the user to type in the Name from [General Info].
I have attached the DB file. Pls help... your help is greatly appreciated!
Hi, I think what I want to do is simple but I can't figure it out. I've tried searching the forum for the solution but I'm having trouble with what I've found. Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm composing a text string on one form (recipe ingredient) and, once it is complete, I want to add it to the records in a subform on a separate form (the recipe). The string composition works great, and I can use:
to paste the string into the textbox on the subform. The problem is "finishing" the record in the subform. When I prepare a new string for the next ingredient, it copies over the previous string. So, I'm not moving to a new record in the subform. I've tried:
but Access tells me the form isn't open, which isn't true.
So, what I want (I think) is a way to direct the subform to move to a new record before I paste in my text string. Or, to direct the subform to move to a new record after I paste in my text string.
By the way, the subform has a before insert event that copies in the record id of the recipe for the new record holding the inserted text string, so the table relationships will be fulfilled:
Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer) Me!lngRecipeID = Me.Parent!lngRecipeID End Sub
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple here, and I really appreciate anybody's effort to help me get it right.
I use the events afterInsert of a Form frmA and the onChange of a field in the same form in order to make some changes to another Form frmB.
Everything goes as expected when the field (with the onChange event assigned) of an existing record changes. The problem starts when I add a new record which triggers both AfterInsert event (desired) and onChage event (undesired).
Is there a trick to separate the two events? Basically I want to call a Sub when the data on the field change (onChange) and a different Sub when I add a new record (AfterInsert).
I have a form with contact info, which also has a subform with other data on it. The subform is a continuous mode form. If I go to the "New" line (last line) of the continuous form, I can add information, and the records are linked via the customerID field on both the form and subform.
I want to have a button on that subform that says "New" that opens up a different form in a popup. I can do that part just fine, but when I try to enter data onto the popup form, the customerID field does not populate with the ID number of the person on the main form. It defaults to a value of "0".
So, is there a way to link the 2 forms like you can with forms and subforms? Or is there a way to have the customerID field in the popup form just populate based on the other form?
Not sure if this makes sense, but please help if you can. Thanks.
Hey, does anyone know how to set up a formula that will allow me to turn either one column on, or another, but not both at the same time for data entry eg. one column for dollar figures and another for sterling currencies?
I would like to separate my list box in two categories.Indeed it is composed by 2 types of criteria but arranged in the same List box (I can't create another List box, it's forbidden).how can I proceed?I've thought to insert a dash but it has to appear all the time and I don't know if it's possible to do that.
I've also thought to enter a title IN the list box above each category but it has to appear all the time too..when I click on one item in the List box it becomes highlight.May be code the 2 titles I could add for being always selected (highlight).I don't want to have to select the 2 titles every time!!!
I have multiple queries that I need to have filered by the same parameter (Client). There is a list of clients that receive this report (the report has a pre-made template with multiple tabs, hence the multiple queries).
Currently the user of the database has to filter the exported excel file for each client re-save and email basied on the client. The above is done when the user pushes the specified button on a form (which just says run report a on it).
I am trying to figure out how the write a code so that a parameter (or table if that would work better) pulls the first record of the Client query to filter the other queries being run. Then to loop that process with the second record and so on through the Client query until all the clients have had the report run for them.
Attached are the current VBA being used and the current SQL for the first query that needs the parameter value added.
