Hi, I am using a wet and cold holiday weekend to learn about Access. I want to create a simple sales order entry function.
I have set up 2 tables Orders and Order Details. The Orders table holds order number, customer, due date, etc and the Order Details table is to hold the line items (product, quantity, price, etc). So far, so good.
I have created 2 forms and made the Order Details form a subform of the Order Header form. So far, so good.
I have 2 questions arising from this.
1. How do I get the cursor to tab from the last field of the header form to the first field of the details subform? When I get to the last field of the header form it just goes to create another order.
2. Is it possible, and if so where do I get info on how, to enter (and show) many detail lines for the one header. This is a normal sales order situation, customer stuff followed by 5 or 6 lines of products on the order.
I have two old (Windows 95) MS Access tutorial manuals, beginners and advanced but can't find the answwers there. I am using MS Access 2000.
Any help or pointers to where I can get the help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure if I have a table structure, query or Form/subform problem, so I'll post here and see what happens
Objective - From a Sales Order form (and linked Sales order Lines subform) once the Item to be sold has been selected and quantity entered, I wish to check against a Pricebook table, where each item has 3 price/quantity breaks stored and have the correct price drop into the sales order line
Any suggestions on what is the best technique to achieve this?
ps not too bad using standard query builders etc, but pretty hopeless at code (which is one of the reasons for joining, to improve in this area)
So far found this a great place to be, lots of good advice from lots of helpful people
I have a table with historic sales values, so an Item has 36 months starting (Field names are ranging from "Oct 04", "Nov 04", "Dec 04" ... to "Sep 07") I also have a column name First month of Sale. which is filled with for example "Dec 04", for the next Item is might be "Jun 05" or "Aug 06").
I would like to get a Query where I just show sales values of the first 10 months after that first month of sale.
I have tried, and tried, and tried till my head exploded:mad: It seems a simple task, but I am obviously overlooking something. can anyone help me with some hints?
I am making a database, where 10 to 20 users will be entering data. I have queries
1. I am planning to create a form with which user will be directly entering in the table, will that b right? 2. If 2 or more users will open form its own side does they all will be entering in same row number? 3. What will be the best of these, by insert query or directly to form?
I am using MS Access 2007. Can an Access application be designed so that data entry can be handwritten, not typed nor dictated?
Is there third party software to interface with the manuscript recognition and convert and insert this handwritten data into the appropriate forms in a conventional "font" display? Or, is Access able to do this without additional software/hardware?
Am creating a Product-Sales Database, and I would like the corresponding Sales made in the Sale Table to be automatically deducted or to be reflected in the Product Table. The product table contains all my stock and has a relationship with the Sales Table. The Sale Table does not necessarily include the Stock. How can I create possibly a Sales Form that will be used as an entry point for all the products (stock) sold and automatically register the sold products in the Sales Table and at the same time make the required adjustments in the Products Table.
I have a form with a test list. Each test is a record with a yes/no checkbox, and controls for testdate and examiner. I don't want the user to be able to exit a record if the yes box is checked and either the testdate or examiner fields are blank. The code I am using is:
If IsNull(Me.Examiner) And Me.SelectTest = Yes Or IsNull(Me.TestDate) And Me.SelectTest = Yes Then MsgBox "You must enter an examiner and a test date for each test you select.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Missing Data" Me.Examiner.SetFocus Cancel = True Else Cancel = False End If
I am having trouble with which event should be used with the code, however. In both before and after update I have had the following problem. If a user accidentally checks the wrong test and then unchecks it, they still get the message as if the box were still checked yes. Can anyone tell me why and how to avoid that?
If I remove the order by clause, it works. Now, I have been programming for 30 years and for the life of me, I cannot figure this one out. It is my first use of 'order by' on this ISP so I am assuming there is a server thing? Can anyone suggest to me what this might be? Thank you very much.
I have to provide a Quote/Order/Invoice and stock control system very quickly for one of our satellite offices, and wondered if anyone knew of any "boilerplate" databases that have done all the grunt work, so that I can just edit reports and forms etc to get them up and running. We are happy to pay a (modest) fee for this service, but would expect to get full access to the design/code for later development and customisation if required.
I've tried Googling but get page after page of rubbish !! Any pointers would be gratefully recieved.
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page: a) Complete first 6 fields of main form b) Complete subform 1 c) Complete subform 2 Second page: d) Complete 5th field of main form e) Complete subform 3 f) Complete 6th field of main form Third page g) Complete three fields of main form
I have taken the Order Entry database sample from Microsoft and have added a "Wizard" type interface.
Question) I'm having trouble understanding how to get more than one Feature applied to a single new service.
- For example, If I add a new SERVICE to an ORDER, and I need to add all available FEATURES to that SERVICE, how do I do that? *see my attached database & relationships. The form of FEATURES is also attached. I just want to be able to check off the ones that apply. (is this many to many? I tried a junction table but can't make it work)
I would really appreciate some advice on my Forms, and definitely advice on my Table / Relationship structure.
ps: My tblServices use to be called tblProducts. I then added the tblCategories, tblPaid, tblTeleServ, tblLongDistRate, tbl800Serv & tblFeatures.
Access 97 does not display records in their original order of entry in a report or its query whether they are indexed or not. Results are always in ascending or descending order even when sorting and groupings are not set. Any suggestions?
I got this to work easily on another form but on this particular form it doesnt work. I enter a command button and name it d1, then I enter this code for it to populate the current date in the field next to the box:
Private Sub d1_Click() Date_Entered.Value = Date End Sub
Can anyone see why it doesnt work :eek:
ERROR IS: Run-time error '2465':
Database cant find the field 'Date' referred to in your expression.
When I enter a date field it enders whats in that field (blank) into the field I told it (Date_Entered) on my form.
Newbie Access user here, with what I hope is a fairly easy task-- I have a form which contains fields for info about clients and a subform which has only one field for a corresponding video tape number. Is there any way to limit the record for this subform to one single entry, so that when I hit Tab after entering the single number, the second record in the subform will not appear, but rather I can jump to the next record in the main form? If not, then can I just tab through the main form, into the sub form and then onto the next record? Is there a shortcut to create the next record other than having to manually mouse click the next record arrow at the bottom of the form?
What I am trying to do is create a data entry form to an "order table" using 2 cascading combo boxes. I have created a data entry form based on a query. I can't get the cascading combo boxes to work properly.Here is the code:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate() Combo2.RowSource = "SELECT L2_ID,L4_Element_name,L5_Category FROM qry_ord WHERE L3_ID = Combo0.Value;" Combo2.DefaultValue = [Combo2].[ItemData](0) Command4.SetFocus End Sub

My requirements is to giving a access application to customer with data base for printing an invoice. when he running the aplication he can see access open and tables, queries forms left hand. how to hide these thing ?
We have an extensive reporting application in Access and would like it to be available through a web application. I've went down the road of migrating this application to SQL to use SQL Reporting Services; this is a good tool but I am wondering if MS Access has an easier solution for me other than migration to SQL.
I'm looking for a solution that will make these reports available over the web for many users. Price tag is a consideration...need to know if there is any.
Please help...thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!!
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
I'm creating a database where I have a customers and invoices table, obviously there is a relationship between the two tables using a customerID field where I have referential integrity enabled. However not all invoices require a customer account as some are cash sales where no customer details are required.
I'm unsure of the correct procedure, all I can think of is to create a separate table for cash sales??
Hi There I Need A Querry For Commission Sales. I Have 10 Items 7 Items At 2% Of Commission 3 At 4%. Each Salesman Have To reach A Min Of 5000 USD Of Sales Per Month Then All Sales Above That Amount Commission Will Be Calculated. I Need A Querry To Calculate Sales And If Salesman reached The Min Sales Commission Is Calculated .
If I have left anything off that may be vital please ask and I will supply the info. I need this info ASAP though. I think the answer has something to do with the Date() and CurrentDate() but I have no clue. Please let me first know the queries I need to run and that should be it. I just need to put MTD and YTD Sales in a report.
I REALIZED THIS SHOULD BE A QUERY THIS WILL BE POSTED IN QUERY INSTEAD
I have two tables - sales 2004 and 2005 - both showing account number, product, quantity, sales and margin. When I link account number and try to show both years the results are incorrect.....I know I am doing something wrong!! I have tried creating new table with blank fields for 2005 basing the table on 2004 and then updating 2005 - but no go.....
I have been looking around the forums for a little while now... and cannot seem to find anything which will help me.... heres my query..
I have a stock control database.. which allows for sales transactions via a barcode reader...
my first query is.... when the user scans a product.. how can this be 'looked up' in the (UPC data table)... returning the correct information.. ie.. description.. but then taking the price from the product table.. the query doesnt seem to let me be able to join the two tables.. no idea why!?
secondly.. I want to create a form.. for the 'sales transaction'.. when the user clicks 'pay' i want the form to clear and store all these items in the sales table.. (deducting the units in stock at the same time..)
I hope anyone has any suggestions.. or pointers! Many Thanks :)
I have a salesman that has a negative "Net Flow" goal (sales goal). Others have positive goals.
His YTD Net Flows (Sales) is say...$1062 (million) and his goal is "-266 million" Of course he is doing quite well, when I use the following code to get a % to goal I get "0" whenever there is a negative goal involved.
% to Goal: IIf([NetFlowsGoal]>0,([Total Net Flows]/[NetFlowsGoal]),0)
But it works fine if all numbers are positive as you might guess.
