Setting Up A New Db

Feb 15, 2007

Hi Guys,

ok I work a lot on databases but have recently been asked to set up an access database for my team. We are a marketing team within a large insurance company and need a small access database for MI and project management.

I have made a start on this and going well so far but there are some things I need it to do that I dont know how :P

Ive never messed about with Acess before so bare with me :P ok so this is what im looking for, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have set up various tables for look up wizards for some of the menus on another table I designed for the raw data entry.

I need two tables, two forms - one table for very basic generic data such as

- Job Number
- Description
- Business Unit
- Owner
- Due Date
- Completion date

I then need to drill down into this to add more information, so its basically two tables on top of each other with co-dependencies.

So for example one of my team enter a new project at the very basic lvl, they have a job number, they know what business unit it is for and they know the date its due, as time goes by and work is done on the project I want them to be able to click on a button that takes them to another form where they can enter information that is linked to the original information.

So they search for job number 00000 and come up with the above data on the first form, I want them to then click on 'Project Information' button and be taken to another form that has a lot more stuff on there, like a description, complications, notes, links to documents etc etc. I tried to do this linking two tables together but it doesnt work as the two forms/tables are not co dependend and are irrespective of each other.

Does this make any sense ? and does anyone know how I might make this work ? Please let me know if I am not clear and I will try to explain as best I can

I would also like to change the form 'theme' aswell and have my companies logo transparent behind the data fields etc, anyone know how to do that as I only have the option to use the standard themes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Setting References

Jun 22, 2005

Is it possible to set which VBA reference boxes are ticked each time a database is loaded?

A problem is created when a person amending the database to the person using it has different setups and so some of the references show as "missing" and so compile errors show on loading.

We are using Microsoft Access 97.

Any help most appreciated.

Odd Problem...is It A Setting?

Feb 14, 2007

I tried various searched and came up empty handed.

I have a user that is using a database that is on a network. When she enters records using her computer and exists the database, they don't save. If she goes back in, they aren't there. However, if she uses another computer, they save.

I can assume that it's not user error because it's the same user on two different computers.

Any ideas?

Setting Up Tables

Mar 4, 2007

I am confusing myself more and more as i read on normalization and queries and everything else. I am trying to create a database for parts that our company sells and am having trouble deciding how to lay out the tables. I figure I should use the part number for the primary key as it will not repeat. from there though, i have a problem, each type of part has different fields nessesscary to decribe its attributes. for example, one part number may be for a box and its describing fields might be brand, width, length,load rating, and height. but another part number might be for a circuit breaker which would have completley different describing fields like brand, amperage rating, voltage rating, connection type, and trip type. Should i create 1 table for everything even though many fields would be blank depending on which type of item it was or should i create seperate table for each type of item with only the required fields to decribe that item?

Setting Subform

Jan 17, 2008

Hi,

i have a subform within a form. when the form is loaded, i would like the subform to automatically be ready for a new record instead of shown the last record entered. i have tried various macros ( not VB ) but to no avail. the form shows the persons info and needs you to add a certain piece of info. this would be the only reason for the form.

can it be done?

Help With Setting Up Tables

Apr 18, 2006

Dear all,

i have having such trouble setting up some tables in a new db, and am wondering if someone could give me some tips as I really don't know what I'm doing (I am new to this).

I have one main table, called Client Information. The PK is CaseNumber. I also have 11 other tables. The PK in each of these is called things like CasedetailsID, witnessinfoID, etc. Each of these tables contains the CaseNumber field (supposed to be from the Client Information table). The Client Information table contains the PK from each of the other tables.

The way I have the relationships set up at the moment is that the Client Information Table is linked to each of the other tables via the fields called casedetailsID, witnessinfoID, casetypeID, etc. The relationships are all one to many (the 'many' side being on the Client Info table, the 'one' side being on the related tables). There is obviously something incorrect about the way I have the tables set up, however, as when I try to enter data into the form, although the data gets stored in the individual tables, none of my queries or reports seem to be working (ie, I try to run a report, but it doesn't show any data).

any tips or advice regarding a good way to go about setting up tables and relationships would be very much appreciated.

Help Setting Up A Database

May 11, 2007

17412 Hi, I am trying to set up a database for organizing Track and Field meets. I'm a newbie to a lot of the Access capabilities. I've attached a PDF of what I'm looking at doing for my Access tables. Some of the tables I think I have right. I don't know how to organize the meets, events, days. Should I have a table for each event? Can you look at my tables and give me advice on problems you can see? In the end I would like to enter the event results by race. Some races could have 10 or more heats. There are also field events that have different number of attempts depending on the meet. There are different track meets with different events each time and the order in which the events occur changes from meet to meet. Any help or advice you can give me would be great. Thanks!

Setting Up A Table

Nov 9, 2007

Hi

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 :)

Setting Up A Query

Mar 27, 2006

Hi,
I have a table I am trying to set up a query. I got into the query and set up the fields as follows: Name, Address, Landlord, Lease Date, 90 Day Reminder, 30 Day followup.

I want to show all these columns in my query. I need to set up formulas for the 90 Day Reminder and the 30 day followup from the Lease Date field.
The 90 Day Reminder is the date 90 days prior to the Lease Date, and the 30 day followup is 30 days after the lease date.

I am having trouble setting up the formulas. I did it in design mode, and I tried filling in a formula and when I tried going into the dababase mode, it asks for for a parameter. I am having difficulty understanding what to fill in for the parameter. I am not sure about the formulas either.

Can someone help me???

Thanks,

Marilyn

This is driving me mad. I'm trying to copy a table and form from a template.
They both copy fine, but when I try to change the new forms recordsource property, nothing happens.

DoCmd.OpenForm ("BLANK")

Setting All To False

Jun 20, 2005

I've got a form which shows all the records in a list, with a check box next to each which is for choosing which ones to print. i have created a "de-select all" button, using a macro with simple SQL behind it -

"UPDATE companys SET print = false WHERE print = true"

when i test this button, it sets all the boxs to false except for the last one that was set to true. it also doesnt update the form straight away, sometimes the checks say until you scroll so the record is no longer on screen.

does anyone know how to rectify these problems?

Thanks

Setting Yes/No Value Through Code.

Jul 14, 2005

This has to be a simple solution for you gurus. I need to reset a CheckBox flag on a form after a business rule is carried out.

I noticed the check box gives the value -1 for Checked, and 0 for Unchecked.

So, when the box is checked, I want to clear it after carrying out a business rule. The code I tried doesn't work, it's as follows:

'Turn off WarehouseFlag after linking to Account
If Me.WarehouseFlag = -1 Then
Me.WarehouseFlag = 0
End If

How do I do this? It must be the fact the values are numbers, and the checkbox isn't a number field??

Thanks in advance!

Mike :cool:

Help Setting Up Forms

Aug 16, 2006

I'm doing a little database for work and I'm having alot of problems figuring things out. This is my first attempt at anything access. I've been getting help with this so far.

What the database is for is keeping track of clients that come in and go on trial for hearing aids. Clients can have one hearing aid or one for each ear. Also for the trial they can have multiple hearing aids from different manufacturers. What we want to do is keep track of who has what and who there audiologist is, if they accept them at the end of the month then invoice cost etc. If they don't accept them then we return them back to the manufacturer as a return for credit, and would like to record there reason for not going with them.

I have my table normalized and now i'm starting to make the forms but i'm getting really confused on the process.

Right now in my thinking I think i need a form for client info, Invoice, Trial Info, Aids on Trial, and return for credit. Some of these I need fields from different tables but do not know how to do that. Maybe I should change my forms needed, I don't know.

Here is what I have so far. I just have the main page and the client info form. In the client info form I am using the notinlist event for the city field, but was wondering if there is a better way to have that set up, doing it this way is the user giong to have to enter a number into that field? How would they just enter in what city and province the client is from??

Basically my question is how to I set up forms for this database?

Need Help W/ Setting Up Database

Aug 30, 2004

Hi, I'm working on this huge project and would like to see if anyone has any advice on how to structure and
build my database. This is for the Accounting of Payroll for Staff, Contractors, and Per Diems (untaxed travel and
housing exp) for a theater company about to do a major production.

The problem is there are several categories of Staff (Directors, Producers, Actors, Orchestra, Sound / Light, Costume, etc.) and each one gets paid differently. Some may get a weekly salary, a per diem, or paid contract in installments throughout the performance (e.g. 500 on openining night, 500 on closing night). Some get paid a combination of the above. The hard part is some get processed through an online payroll, while others are paid through manual check (yet in this case, certain deductions must be made). That's what made this so complicated as some will require a % of gross paid to their agent, a % to union, and balance to them.

I thought I had this figured out w/ a massive spreadsheet showing who gets what and in what period, To further complicated it, payroll is bi-weekly, so then my data within a spreadsheet became just too much to even make sense of although the data is correct.

So my question is, what tables should I create? Pay Periods / Actors / Agents / Pay Type / Contractors / or all of these in one table? I don't expect anyone to reply to this as it is asking so much and not clearly defined. But if anyone has had a similar experience I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks
