Situation With Similar Strings!
Apr 10, 2008
I have supplier records where the supplier name in each record is different. It may be Supplier ABC, AB,C, ABC!, ABC Inc., or several other variations. In addition each of these suppliers has their own supplier ID. The supplier ID can be one of 5 different versions since the data is from 5 different ERP systems. I am trying to create one table that does not have the supplier listed many times, but has one correct name and one ID that will be able to link back to the original file with all the different names and IDs. I hope this is a good explananation. Any advise?

Hello
I have two tables with names of people in different forms.
table1 : [name] can be either in the form of :
- firstname & firstname surname
- surname, firstname
table2: [surname]
I'm trying to select all the records in table1 where [table2]![surname] is part of [table1]![name]
I've tried using
Like "*"&[surname]&"*"
This returns everything rather than the similar names.
I think this should be simple but can't work it out.

I am creating a database that tracks reports that are generated from people in the field...The statistics are tracked on a 28 day cycle, beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday. Every week the 28 day period loses the first week and gains a week on the end. I need to develop a way to generate the queries for the reports based on a clock that automatically "calculates" the current 28-day period.

Hello all,
I am trying to make a simple inventory control system. This system will only record input of products and output of products. Explanation: This is a catering service company. I buy tomatoes, rice, oinions, Oils, meat, ect. When we buy this products they usaly come in different packages. The rice can come in 100 pound bag, 50 pound bag or just by the pound. The onions can be bought by the bucket, half bucket, dozen, half dozen ect. The oil can be bought by 100 gallon barril, half barril, Gallon, half gallon, pint ect. The meat by the pound.
I am able to make the a simple invoice and PO application, the only problem is that I want to be able to select what type of packaging the product has and the invoice or PO subforms.
I started with a simple product table, I than created a packaging table and a package detail table. This gave me the chance to create a subform on the product form where I can choose what type of packaging this product uses and also tell it how many units the package has.
So far so good. Now I created a Chef table "this is my Chef to whom I give the product to for cooking" I than created an authorization slip table "this is like an invoice table" and ofcourse a authorization detail table "this is where I pick the products that I give the cook" once I print this out the chef will be able to go to the warehouse and retreive the product.
What I want to do in the detail subform is to be able to pick the product and the type of packaging that I am giving them from a dropdown box then it will automaticaly show only the packaging I assinged to that product and give me the units . This way if I pick the type of packaginh name 100 pound it will put 100 units in the quantity field automaticaly.
So basicaly is an invoice form with its detail but on the detail I am able to pick the product and the packaging that I am giving the chef.
Can you guys guide me on the right direction on how to do thsi?

Hi. - Please do not lecture me: I inherited this database and it's table designs.
I have multiple tables, each containing a SSN text field and multiple other text fields. There is some overlap in SSNs among tables.
I need to create a report with a subform for each table.
The user would ideally be asked for and enter a specific SSN and a specific string. The result would be the report showing the SSN and each table's field that contains the string.
ie, parameters would be: Specify SSN and for the string would be: Enter TEXT VAUE.
SSNs are simple enough, but the text string entered would need to be, for example: LIKE "2400*"
How do I do this easily so that each text field in each table is searched for that string, without having the user re-enter and re-enter and re-enter... it multiple times?
(I do not know very much VBA, so other ideas?)

A friend of mine who is in real estate is looking to learn about Excel. My knowledge is very limited. I can Conditional Format, IF, VLOOKUP etc but I have no idea what can be done with different Sheets in a file.
For example, in one set of data he has it is details on properties for rent. Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3 are for 1, 2 or 3bedroom properties. I assume if a 4 bedroom property is for rent then Sheet4 would be done.
With Excel how easy (or hard) would it be to link data between the sheets. For example, show the properties where the lease is about to end (or whatever) and whereby properties that met the search criteria would comprise 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units and hence be in all 3 sheets.
If what is in 3 sheets was placed in one sheet can Excel do much with that or are you stuck with data that is spread over what appears to be several acres:D
If you can do this in Excel would you need to learn a lot about Excel. To put it another way, this is very easy for anyone here to do what he wants in Access. However, for someone starting from scratch would Excel allow him to get up to speed and functioning easier and quicker than Access
Thanks for any advice

In order to find the most recent piece of data for a particular customer I need to query my table in 3 iterations.
I have a TABLE with data in it pertaining to all customers.
QUERY 1 orders all the records in TABLE by date.
QUERY 2 plucks all records related to specified customer from QUERY 1.
QUERY 3 selects the TOP 1 from QUERY 2.
My main concern is that this all happens automatically. Can I shorten this process at all?

Hi i'm after some time saving advice
i'm writing an Access database to quote for windows & doors,
there are many variants like style, width, height, glass types, security specifications and about 4 other options.
what would be the best way of working out how to add the extras for each option,
The price would be based on the style first, then depending on width and height, then on what options were ticked . i.e securtity spec yes/no, then on what glass type, the price gfor that would be based on the entered width x height etc.
is it possible to do a look up, like you can in Excel where it looks at at grid/matrix based on style number and width x height to get the price, but then how would i get it to add the other options which will depend on size and number of openings.
any help greatfully received.....

Hi. Back again with a badly designed number of tables that I inherited.
Anyway...
I have 20 tables each with an ID field and a dozen-or-so text fields. - (I planned on using a master report with sub-reports, but perhaps I am ahead of myself here.)
I need the user to enter the ID and a value which would only appear in one of the dozen+ fields for that record, in that table.
I set up queries with parameters for the ID and the desired text value.
However, when run, I get the correct client record, but also all of the fields for that record... Not only the field with the desired value.
Is there a 'simple' way to do this knowing ho wmany possible fields froma ll of the tavbles would have to be searched? And not all tables have the same field names!

I'm trying to sort a combo box alphabetically except for one value which is always at the top of the list.
The row source of the combo box is a query. record to remain at the top of the list is static- same value and ID number always. I've fiddled around with a few things, but at the end of the day, i'm just not smart enough! (or its not possible -which i doubt)..
any suggestions?
cheers.

Hi all.
I have 2 strings:
strSQL1 = SELECT FieldA FROM table WHERE FieldA = xxx
strSQL2 = SELECT FieldB FROM table WHERE FieldB = xxx
I need unit this two strings to third string strSQL3.
I must have result StrSQL3 = SELECT FieldA, FieldB FROM table WHERE FieldA = xxx and FieldB = xxx
Is it possibly unit strings (not Select Query)?

I am normalizing data from a spreadsheet of just over 4000 records. The spreadsheet has a "Model" field that contains both the model number and a model description, separated by a space. I would like to split this field into two different fields: "Model_Number" and "Model_Description". The model number is one word of varying lenths.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I am having trouble with a query. I have a number of blanks for a field and I tried using the expression from the help:
=IIf(IsNull([fieldname]),"Unknown",Format([fieldname],"@;LS"))
But my result set is still a lot of blanks.
This is the expression I was trying to use:
IIf(IsNull([tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2]),[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine1],[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2])
On most of these, the result was a blank, instead of MailingAddrLine1. If there was visible data for MailingAddrLine2, it appeared.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Guys,
Just wondering how I would go about comparing two strings, and spitting the results out a similarity percentage?
E.G. (String 1) Postal Address: "11 John St"
(String 2) Street Address: "11 John Street"
(Output): 80%?
Cheers

Hello,
I would like to put a restriction on the SQL statement such that if one particular field contains the character "MO", then we take in the record, else we ignore them. May I know how could this be done in the "WHERE" part of the SQL statement? I do not think SQL would read things like Instr(). Thanks!
Regards,
Anyi

This is a database that was handed off to me for upgrading.
The person who initially created it made the Name field in the table contain the entire name... So a single entry in the field looks like
CHRIS R LOUNSBURY
The table is in the attached table. This is merely a sampling. The main table has over 3,000 names in it. Is there an easy (or maybe not so easy) way to automatically parse that data and split the names into their own fields.
An example would be the string CHRIS R LOUNSBURY. Run code which takes the string left to right to the first blank space, and splits it off into First Name field. Take the last part of the string (right to left) to the first white space and put it in the Last Name field.
Is this possible? Or do I need to find myself a temp employee to data entry all this over again

Hi all
I have a Row source string which I use quite often. Currently, I declare it in each procedure and copy and paste it in. The problem is when it needs changing, I need to change it in a billion places.
can I declare the string as public and set it as public too so that I can just make a reference to it rather than copy and paste entire slabs of code into each event??
perhaps I need to place it into a module?
Suggestions are much appreciated.

I have 5 tables which comes from different departments in our company.
All of them have the same key "project no" but hold different information in other colums.
As a starting point I have secured that they all have same no. of records meaning all "project no" are in all tables but some table might not contain other information in that record than the project no.
I have put them into a quirie and on a form I am able to look at all data from all 5 tables.
I have linked them one to one and it works fine untill I add a record to one of the tables. Afterwards I am not able to write into fields from other tables because there is no automatic creation of the record in the other tables.
Please How would this be best/easiest to make for me. ?
The reason why I have to keep the 5 tables is that regular updates are avaiable form any of them.
Appricate any comments which can make me any progress.

This is a tough one. I am developing golf management software. There is a table of caddies. And there is a table of members. The Caddies carry two bags each one for each member. They are assigned their jobs through an assignment form. Therefore, a single caddie will carry for Member1 and Member 2.
Now I need to produce a report of how many times each member plays. So how can I query the assignment table where Member 1 and Member 2 fields exist so that I can have a single field of allMembers so that I can count their rounds in a report.
Thanks.....Jeff

Hi,
I am trying to query on a table, predominantly made up of check boxes, so that I can get a summary which essentially shows the number of 'checks' in each field within a given date range. I have attached a Word file, which should explain exactly what I would like to achieve.
If anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks and best wishes
Russell
