I have been using Excel for many years and have just got to the stage where I need to build a database. I have managed to work out how to import the data ok but within the single table that I will be using I need to have a column which will add up the contents of four other columns.
EG.
Cells in Column T to be the total of cells in the same row from columns C, E, F and G.
Please would someone be kind enough to let me know if this can be done and if so how I can go about achieving this.
i've got a field in a form where u need to pick gender(in dutch) Now there's an Attention further on and i need the proper attention:(in english= Male=Sir,Female=Madame) Which is in dutch: Male= M = De heer Female = V = Mevrouw, Unknown = O or B = De heer/mevrouw, So my code became: =IIf([Geslacht];"M";"De heer";(IIf([Geslacht];"V";"Mevrouw";"De heer/mevrouw")))
1. list of all countries, with one Bogus "All" representing all countries
2. When i select a Country from drop down list, i should get list of States in that Country. Again with one Bogus "All" representing all States in that Country
3. When i select a State from drop down list, i should get list of Cities in that State. Again with one Bogus "All" representing all Cities in that State
thanks for all ur help in my previous posts.......

I have read as much as I can about using access and have decided it's time to have a play - so please forgive me if this is a silly question. Here goes.
I have a single table - it lists staff by name and staff number and shows 3 qualifications that they may or may not need (yes/no columns).
I have managed to produce queries/reports that show, for each of the 3 qualifications whcih personnel that require that qualification have not achieved it.
I now want to produce a query/report that lists any personnel that are outstanding any of their required qualifications and if so which qualification they are outstanding.
ok guys i know this is really stupid and silly but i cant see for the life of me what i am doing wrong i have a query where i want to only show records between to dates (including first and last)
when i do both or less than one date nothing shows using the code below SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY1, Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS VALUE1, DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY] FROM ITEMTBL INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE") AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1] And (HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)<=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATETO1])) GROUP BY DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]);
when i do greater than the from date it this code below works SELECT Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_QTY_1) AS QTY, Sum(HTRXTBL.HTRX_VALUE) AS [VALUE], DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]) AS [DAY] FROM ITEMTBL INNER JOIN HTRXTBL ON ITEMTBL.ITEM_NUMBER = HTRXTBL.HTRX_ITEM_NUMBER WHERE (((HTRXTBL.HTRX_TRX_DATE)>=[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1]) AND ((HTRXTBL.HTRX_REC_TYPE)="ITMSALE")) GROUP BY DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmCOMPARISON]![txtDATEFROM1],[HTRXTBL]![HTRX_TRX_DATE]);
:( i cant see what is different or missing help please
I feel like a goober for even asking this, since I've been using Access for three years now for work-related databases, but this is actually the first time this has come up and I can't, for the life of me, figure it out.
I need to find out if there is a way to copy something (a year, for example) and paste that one thing onto multiple rows within one column of the datasheet (Year Attended, for example.)
I don't want to have to type in the year 1,296 times; I'd like to see if I can highlight the portions of that column I want (all of the people who attended in 2005) and paste "2005" into all of the highlighted cells at once. In Excel, for example, you can copy something, highlight an entire section, and it will paste into each cell.
This is executed by an event in another form that loads the new form and starts dumping in values. For some reason I'm suddenly getting "Object doesn't support this property or method. 'Object' is simply a textbox that is enabled, but is also locked altho to my knowledge this isn't a problem. It's late and I've been working for hours so this may be something simple I've overlooked...need to step away for a while.
I have the following fields in a query: "Employee_number", "shiftname", and "shiftdate" And I have the following code on the criteria of "shiftdate": >= dateadd("d",-7,Date()) so that only records from the past 7 days are displayed which is fine, however when I run the query it displays the following
which is not quite what i want.....Is it possible to make it only show the same shiftname with the same shiftdate just the once instead of showing it several times for each employee?
Here's the situation. I have a Database in Excel (~3000 rows & 7 Columns)
The first Column has numbers like this (3-10-34 or 223-7-45) the other columns have names, addresses and other stuff.
What I'm trying to do is to eliminate the use of huge binders. I want to have a Blank screen with only one input box where I can type a number and retrieve a specific row from my Database. Time saving.
Now, when I'm searching, I usually only have the first numbers before the dash (such as the 3 or the 223) not the other numbers. So I cannot input 3-10-34 for instance. I can only put 3...:confused:
I've already imported it to Access and it works fine but have no idea how to do what I just described!
sorry if this question is answered somewhere else i did check through the forum a bit first
anyway to the question
is there a way in access 2003 so when i change a value in one table it creates a new record in another table
example
i have a table called tickets and one called fixes, when i change a value in a record in the tickets table i want a new record in the fixes table to be created for me
I am not sure if i am supposed to post in this section......

Using Access 2003.
I am very new to Access and have started off very well building my first project..
My help is that i would like a macro button to delete a record once you have put in to the database if that is possible also i would like a save button if that is possible...
I have put a Tab Contol on and want to change the backgound but i can't see on the properties box to change this. Is there a piece of code that allow me to do so...
I am still very new to Access 2003 and have started off very well..
Just a few help please:
Help 1. I need a macro button that will allow me to delete a record from the database via a form.
Help 2. I need a macro button to save the database if that is possible via a form.
Help 3. I have a Tab Control on my form and i want to change the background of the Tab Control but can't find it on the properties is there a piece of code i can put in to VB which will do this for me or is there another way.
hello guys i m very new to access and i need some help! if i had a form that contains a field like salary and i need to add all the salaries from all the records into one total salary how can i do it? plz take into consideration that i m totally new and dumb:p in access thank you
Alright here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have A, and B. Then I have 6 different tables that relate to the six different things B could be and contain all sorts of other information.
What I want is to make a form that lets you type in A, and B. Then the correct table/form for the respective B will pop in to the subform area. Then as soon as you select or type in a new A and B, the subform will change, or stay the same if the B has not changed, but a new record will have started.
"A" is just an ID... something like AA001, AA002, etc. "B" is the stage each ID is at... like beginning, middle, end, etc.
Sorry if it is a bit confusing, I am willing to explain any details that could help. I consider myself a somewhat advanced Access user, but this just stumps me for some reason.
Im looking to create a frontend and backend for a Dojo (Martial arts center). Basically, it will log in people(record their training time, by day not hour) either by Number or name. Secondly, I want to be able to have all these fields seen by the admin: Dojo Number Date Joined Last Name First Name Male/Female Address City Zip Home Phone Work Phone E-mail Birthday Occupation Adult/teen/child Rank Active/ Inactive status Martial Art Exp. Staff Y/N ASNJ Dues Info USAF Dues Info USAF Membership Number Misc. Notes
So the backend/ admin would be able to update this field and keep records up to date.
There would be around 800 entries/people, and only one admin accessing the db at any time. The frontend would be used to log in..
Can some kind soul help with pointing me in the right direction to a problem below?
In my database (property database), I have some old properties which are now sold. There are relationships between property, rent received, billing, lessees, etc. I want to be able to keep the details of the 'sold' properties.(i.e., who owned it, what they paid in the past, when they paid etc. in case I need it, but don't want it shown any longer on the main working database). I want to be able to delete the properties that are sold from the main table. Any ideas how I go about this? Hope I've explained myself ok.
I have recently created a database which exports a daily report in Excel. The problem I am having is that the reports are sent out in Excel 95 which cannot be opened by Blackberry. We used to create this report from an excel database and send it out but it went out in excel 97 format which was readable. As a complete "Access" novice I am at a loss on how to cure this problem short of copying the excel 95 report which we create automatically and cutting and pasting into excel 97. Over to the experts.
Very much a novice here What im trying to accomplish is so simple its silly, but i cant figure it out for the life of me I have a field id like to restrict entries to the words Buyer and Seller, and i'd like it so that in the form, if the user hits the letter B, Buyer fills in and if S seller fills in ... What can i do in the table to accomplish this? Thanks so much
Hi, I have used access in the past but very little. I need help setting up a table that I can make relationships to another table. Here's what I need.
I need a table(s) that I can log samples of medications into. It needs to have a drug name, dose, lot #, expiration date, and #of samples. As we get samples, these will be logged into here via a form made from the table (I've already done this exactly as stated). I will need to be able to get a total from the number of a certain dose of medication i.e. amoxicillin 500mg (all of the lot numbers added together).
Now, another table(s) needs to have samples signed out. It needs to include pt. name (first and last), date, drug, dose, lot #, exp. date, #of samples, ordering practitioner, and clinic. What I want to happen is when I sign out the Amox 500mg #30 with a specific lot #, it will remove the number from that specific lot # in the inventory table and reduce the number of Amox 500 total (all lot #s).
Does this sound too complicated. I tried to set up one table for the sign out process, but suspect it's too many variables. The primary key I was thinking would be the lot # but i need to be able to use it more than once if I get 100 samples and only use 30 at a time.
Would someone be willing to offer some advice!!!?? Thanks, Robin.
I made a simple Table with a couple of fields.Each record shows what a job needs to be done ...Now I'd like to add simple checkbox and each time I would check this box (that would mean that job has been done) Access would automatically delete or hide that record.
Thank you
Also could you point me to good tutorials?Thanks a lot
I've created a simple access database for my deparment, that I want other departments to be able to query data from. I don't want them to have to open the entire database each time they pull data, because I'm afraid they'd become confused by the program.
The company seems much more comfortable with excel files, and I've been trying to use an Excel-based query to display selected information. The problem is this: Nobody can update their excel queries, because only my department has full access to the .mdb file that the data is stored in. Everyone else has read-only access to the file and the folder it's located in, so they are unable to run an update.
Is there a good workaround for this? I feel like I'm overlooking something incredibly simple.
Ideally, I'd like to create an .xls file with the necessary queries in it, and then just email that file around, allowing other users to just save the file to their desktop and open it/update it when they need to check on something. Other methods of accomplishing the same thing are welcome too, but that's what I'm going for right now.
I need help. Now I've written a post so that some one could help retrieve current information and they told me to use Dmax. Great but I don't know how to use Dmax. Basically I need step by step instructions.
This is an example of what my table looks like:
Date of Order --Product--- UNIT COST 20-May-05----- XYZM---- $8.87 20-Jun-05------ XYZM ----$9.39 21-Jul-05 ------XYZM -----$9.24 19-Mar-05----- ACE ------$7.85 20-May-05 ----ACE------- $7.89 20-Jun-05 ----ACE-------- $8.01 21-Jul-05 -----ACE------- $8.13 22-Jul-05------ACE ------$8.05
What I need is a report that will show me the last ordered price of the product.
Date of Order --Product-- UNIT COST 21-Jul-05------ XYZM ---$9.24 22-Jul-05 ------ACE ----$8.05
How do I get a query that will allow me to retrieve this information? I'm still in training and need step by step intructions. Please Help!!!!
