I have a feild in my table that I need to increase by 1 each year.
eg.
2004- needs to change to 2005- on 1/1/2005 and keep changeing each year after that.
I am sure this is simple but all my attempts at makeing a counter have failed thus far.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.
Would appreciate any solutions!
I have been struggling with this and would appreciate any help. It sounds so simple!!! I have 4 fields (Unit Price 1, Unit Price 2, Unit Price 3, Unit Price 4) in a Orders table that I want to add together and store in a 5th field (Sub Total) in the same table using a form. I am having problems with the sum and I am unsure how to get it to show in the Sub Total box in the form as well as the table. Thanks for your help!!

The situation I am in at the moment is that I have a database for a company who does work at different building sites. I have created a database so that it has the date the work was completed. With this company in particular the last possible dates of payment are 30 or 60 days after the work was completed, depending on the work. I would like to know how I would be able to create a calculated field that would display the first day that the payment is late.
I have have 2 feilds in my database, there can be the same value in one feild but not both.....for example say NAME and ADDRESS i can have the same NAME for more then one entery and i can have the same ADDRESS for more then one entery but i cant have the same NAME And the same ADDRESS....anyone know how to do this? :confused:

i want to allow duplicates in all feilds individually, but not if 3 feilds are the same in more than one record. (ei. if the entries in a1,b1,c1 are equal to entries in a2,b2,c2; prevent the second record from being entered)
so far, i've writen a macro to identify duplicates in an existing table, but i dont know how to delete records, or access values being entered in a form
any help would be greatly appretiated, thanks
I have a table (tblStudent) containing a field named fldTeacher1. Looking at the properties of fldTeacher1 I see that it has a lookup:
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1" (id number; teacher's Name)
I am trying to run a DoCmd.RunSQL command in code and My question is how do I write a sql statement in code that updates that field with a new value?
I have tried:
DoCmd.RunSQL ("UPDATE tblStudent SET fldTeacher1 = " & Val(txtID) & " WHERE fldID = " & gintStudentID & ";")
All it does is place the id # in the field and not display the teacher's name in fldTeacher1 after the command was run.

I feel really stupid for asking this, but I am so stressed at the moment, I can't concentrate!
I have a database that stores land locations and information relating to it. In the database, I need a form that asks 13 questions and answers are given in drop down boxes (about 3 answers to each question). Each of these answers relate to a score, which I want to be able to show automatically.
What I would like to know is how to set the table for it. This table has to use the ID from the land locations table (which is sorted by the way).
Please see the attachment for a simple design of what my 'boss' wants it to look like. The form for this table will be a subform on the main form for land locations.
Please can someone help me? I would really apreciate it :)
I have tblDefaults that has only one record, containing default values. Next I have tblWebpages that has a Memo field that holds my html data. Lastly I have a Form called frmCreate with a field called Webpage. This Form is based on a tblCreate table.
Whenever I click a command button on my Form, I want to populate the Webpage field on my frmCreate Form with a template from tblWebpages. The template to chose will be based upon the WhichTemplate field in tblDefaults.
In brief, tblDefaults tells me which is the current webpage template and so the field should be populated with that html data.
Phew!

Hi,
I have a contact list about 20 people strong. These contacts are related to a certain CostCenter. Each costcenter will have multiple contacts. I want a combo box on a form where I can select a contact from the combo box' list and send them an e-mail. I also want a list box on the form that shows each costcenter and the contacts related to it. I also need to be able to add or remove contacts and have the new info shown in both the list box and the combo box. I'm stuck with setting up my table structure. Anyone wanna give this a go?
Thanks,

I want to add a column to an existing table using the sql statement Alter table. The new column needs to be a yes/no type. The following code almost works but it only sets the column to a general logical type not specifically the yes/no check box .
DoCmd.RunSQL "Alter Table TblIssues Add [" & Issue & "] logical;"
Any ideas?
Dear All,
My boss wants me to create a budget report as follows:
Rep Cust ActM$ BudgetM$ VarM$ ActMProfit BudgetMProfit VarMProfit
ActYTD$ BudgetYTD$ VarYTD$ ActYTDProfit BudgetYTDProfit VarYTDProfit
I have a table with the following headings:
Date State Product Prod Code Customer Cust Code Category Jan Feb Mar etc
State has the domain Vic, NSW, Qld
Category has the domain Sales GP
Question 1:
To the field Category, should I either
A: add to the domain actual sales and actual profit? I can past these into the table at the end of each month.
OR
B: set up a separate table for the actual sales and actual profit for the month?
I think A.
Question 2:
Instead of having a separate column for each month, should I either:
A: just have a heading Month and put the figures in that column
OR
B: Have the sales figures in separate columns for each month?
I think A
Question 3:
When I have set up my table correctly, and assuming the answers to my questions above are all "A", I am now unsure how to create a query which will give me the data for the report my boss wants.
Can someone please give me some help?
Thanks

how to set the Field Size in a new Table. I need the user to be able to type in 17 characters (as in a vehicle VIN). I don't want the user to have the ability to type in anything less than 17 characters or anything more than 17 characters.

I export a query as csv to upload to another database on a web site. When that csv file has been exported I'd like the query to be emptied, so that the next time I export I don't export duplicates. What's the easiest way to do that?
I've been thinking of having a field in the table with a check box that is checked when the file is exported. The query then selects only those records where that box is not checked.
But how can I check those boxes on Export rather than when I run the query? The reason being that I may want to preview by running the query, without having that affecting the check box.
I am trying to create a new Table using a MakeTable Query
using the following sql:
Code:SELECT qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.WeekNumber, qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.Line, qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.Description AS Above, qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.[%] INTO mkCPPlannedStopsAboveFROM qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotalsWHERE (((qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.Description)="Above"))ORDER BY qCPPlannedStopsOnTargetTotals.WeekNumber DESC;
However i want the new table to have a Primary Key, (Week Number) can i set this as the table is made?
Please help

I have two textboxes in my form bounded respectively to check-in and check-out dates of my Hotel_Bookings table
When a user enters the check-in date, I'd like the date-picker of the check-out date to display the same month of the check-in date instead of the current month.
I know that the built-in date picker cannot be manipulated. I cannot work on check-out default value because it will not be updated on the current record.
The only way that I've found until now is to set the check out value to check in + [some days] but I do not like it because it could generate data entry mistakes
How can I solve? If there is no way to get the job done with the built-in date picker, what kind of ActiveX control could I use instead? And where to find it?
I am currently working on a Database to automatize some process.
The User can import a CSV (Text) File via a DialogBox, which gets imported into a Table. After this, the content has to be filtered, setting conditions on 4 different rows. The new Table gets exported into a new CSV (It has to be CSV, since it later gets imported into SAP)
How can I set a Filter on a dynamically created Table (using VBA)?
Best case would be to save the filter into my Import spec, but Access doesn't seem to have this option (?)
This is the first time that I have done any major work with forms. After I thought I had finished a problem came up. There are several forms that are use to input information into a table. When the form is opened it grabs an automated number for tracking. The problem is, that if the form is opened and then closed it creates a line of data with all null values.
What I would like to do is have the form open, the user fills out the information, and upon pressing the "save" button, the data will save to the table. I think I need to have each text box write to a variable and then save on the click event. Or I could be completely wrong and need to do something else.
i'm guessing this is something I would learn in Forms 101 if i had ever taken that type of course
Thanks
I need setting up a history table for contacts and the companies that they are associated with. I am sure this will be obvious to some of you database veterans but I am fairly new to Access and I can't seem to figure out the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do.
Here is what I need to do:
When a contact's employment status changes, I need to change the contact's current company association but somehow maintain his or her association with the previous company so that s/he can still be associated with past projects.
So, in my contacts table (TBLContacts), I have a foreign key field "CompanyFK" that links to my companies table (TBLCompaniesPK). There is a one to many relationship between TBLCompanies and TBLContacts.
I want the CompanyFK field to be the current company but somehow link the person with past companies too so that the project directories and subforms will continue to show the contact's association with the parent company.
Maybe I don't need a history table but something else?
I have a similar problem with companies that change name, too. How to deal with takeovers, name changes, mergers, etc.
I have a contacts database and I am trying to set the relationship between the contacts table and the locality table. The contacts table has a LocalityID field that is a long integer and the Locality table has an autonumber as the PK. When I drag the LocalityID on one table to the other LocalityID I get the Can't create this relationship. When I look at the Edit Relationship dialog box the primary table is the Locality table not the Contacts table. I want set up a lookup on the contacts form that relates to locality.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a table that has several percentage fields, for which I want to display 3 decimal places in datasheet view (and later in forms and reports). I've tried to set up the fields in a variety of ways, but either I don't get a percent format, or I get 3 decimals with 2 zeros at the end. For example, 73.913% shows up as 73.900%. This, of course, causes problems in calculations, so that for a total percent field I'm getting things like 99.900% instead of 100.000%. I've tried various combinations of formatting properties for these fields (Field Size, Format, Decimal Places, and Scale) but I have yet to hit on the right one to simply display the correct value in the format of a percent.
View 8 Replies View RelatedAccess 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.
For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.
If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
I have a database that I import data from an excel spreadsheet into multiple times daily. The table that this data is imported into has several key fields that if the data already exisits in the table, and I attempt to import data that is the same except for one or more of the key fields is different. At this time the database it creates a different record. I am trying to get the database to overwrite the data in the database.
