Hi I am in the process of designing a new database using Access 2003 for my company. I have very little knowledge of access and what knowledge I do have is self taught!
The database is to hold medical records about patients that we see (we run a small medical centre)
The information that we put on it will include the patients personal details (name address etc..) and also details about treatments given to them.
Could anyone give me some advice on what type of database sounds best for this type of information. At the moment the database will only be used in the medical centre but will be accessed by more than one person at a time (not sure if that is relevant !
I really would appriciate some advice as some of you guys have helped me before and i value your opinions.
I have created a query showing locations of a company's facilities, and product groups associated with that facility. Unfortunately the the products groups are located in one column and, if the facility produces more than one product, the product group is divided by a |, as shown below: CABLE TRAY SECTION [05CT]|STEEL CONDUIT AND ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING SECTION [05RN] In my query, I only want to show the product code, which I resolved by creating another table and associating the code with the product group. However, this query will exclude those plants that produce multiple products. How can I show just the product codes for all the facilities, including those with multiple product groups?
In otherwords, I would like the above example to look like this: 05CT|05RN (or something similar to this).
I have not developed a database application before. At my work I was seconded to fill in as a team lead for a change management team. We are in a production environment and need to track the progress of product improvements. The current system is very complicated using an enormous Excel spreadsheet and a very bid MSProject schedule. It is very handraulic in the way it is maintained.
Before I started I reviewed who inputs data, who uses the data, and what metrics are reported. I can reduce the amount of data that is recorded by only generating many of the existing Excel fields through calculation run when a report is generated or a chart populated.
I need to track the state of several hundred minor changes through the production run. The reference data I need to store is serial number against production batch. This is fixed data that is not changed, only used as to show the entry point of a change into the production line and which serial numbers the change is applied to.
I have two third-party library programs that allow you to type in an ISBN and the software searches, say Amazon, and grabs particular missing data: author, cover jpg and summary etc, and imports the info to the program. I'd like to replicate this process with Access. If I can type in an author, title or ISBN to Access, I'd like it to search Amazon to gather and input the missing data to my assigned fields. Is this possible? Or am I stuck to typing in the information separately.
I a a new user to Access having only every ceate a couple of small databases using the wizards. I have just started a database where I have created my tables and I am now creating a form to display information. The problem that I am having is that when in Design mode I can see all the information and fields that I have used to create the form, however when i save the form then opening in display mode I do not see any of the fields, revert back to design mode and hey are all there.
I am using Access 2010. I have a database that on a form uses a multiselect listbox. That part works just fine. The list box is for selecting additional people to email. Now I have had no luck with returning just the email address that are in a hidden column (the persons actual name is seen and "selected"). The names come from a separate table and is used as a forgien key. On that same table are the indivuals email addresses. What I did was loop through to get all of the ID numbers I am getting from the list box (the ID numbers are stored in the table that the form is based on).
Once I have all of the ID Numbers I thought that maybe there was a way to retrieve all of the email address associated with the ID Numbers. This is what I have so far. I know that AllQuery returns the first email address from the list box. I just have no idea if the query is returning more than one record, or if it is how to then go to the next record. I have tried a few things with little to no success.
Code: Dim ListItem As Variant Dim AllItems As String Dim AllQuery As String For Each ListItem In Me.EmailAdditionEgineers.ItemsSelected AllItems = AllItems & Me.EmailAdditionEgineers.ItemData(ListItem) & " or " Next ListItem AllItems = Left(AllItems, Len(AllItems) - 3) AllQuery = DLookup("EmailAddress", "AdditionalEmailRequestQuery", "[ID] = " & AllItems) & ";"
I see a lot of requests for this operation, but apparently .DB files are so general that sometimes it's impossible? Any all-encompassing program that can read files like this? I believe they come in different formats and are produced by a variety of different programs. The only thing I ever see though are files with [.db] as the extension.
If I open the one I have with notepad on a windows machine I see some of the info but some of it is not there and is garbled.
I have created a form and a subform within it, I have managed to populate all the dropdown boxes from the tables I need. but I need to save all the information in putted to a table called bookingstbl and I do not know where to begin?
I downloaded a student template from microsoft and have been able to figure out most of it. I cannot see where to enter the emergency contact information. Also, when I try to see the student and guardian table/list, the guardian list comes up empty even though I entered this information when I entered the student info...
I have a field "Permit_Date_Expired" field automatically is created by adding one year to the "Permit_Date_Issued" field.
when the "Permit_Date_Expired" field exceeds TODAYS() date I want it to automatically change the field "Permit_Holder" to say Expired is this possible?
Using a combo box in the form "product details" I select a "part number " of which the part number and the associated description of the part comes into a fields called "part number " and "part description "
The part number selected then goes into a table called product details
Is it possible that when I select the part number , both the part number and the part description go into the table called product details.
I have a database where on the form we are just put in total deductions. We want to make sure that the total deductions is correct so while we are entering this number we want to do an excel thing by hitting = 1 + 1. Anytime we do that we are getting an error message. I really didn't want to have to set up a table to store these different amounts because we really only need the total. Is there a way to do that? I changed the format from currency to general but I'm still getting the error.
I am having a problem with retrieving the information I am looking for. Basically I am checking to see if a user has selected a TRNumber from a drop down menu and if that TRNumber matches any other records in the table in that field. If it does, is that Number already associated with the user selecting it. If it is I want to get the ID number so I can simply update the record with new information. Here is what I have so far.
Code: Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset Dim Tech As String Dim MsgStr As String Dim IdMod As String Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PrepStartDateBlankQuery")
I have tried on different forms using more than a few different methods to make recordsets happen and to no avail. My current reason for needing to use recordsets is because I am loading a form with information from different tables. Instead of using multiple DLookups, opening the recordset only looks for the information once, speeding up the load time on the form.
Code: Dim Rs As Dao.Recordset Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PreviousTRRetrieval2Query") If Rs.RecordCount > 0 Then ProjectNumber = Rs!ID Agency = Rs!WitnessAgency FileNumber = Rs!FileNumber
That is the start of my code and I keep getting an error, 3061 Too Few Parameters. Expected 1. Now when I run the query I get the results I desire, which is all the information I need at this particular junction. I am using Access 2010. Why I may not be returning any results for my recordset when the PreviousTRRetrival2Query returns results on its own.
I have a form to record student information. On my student table i have a school I.D that links to the primary key of my school table.
My problem is that in my form, i want to be able to fill in the rest of the fields about the school info based on the I.D chosen.
i.e.
student table: Student id name address school I.D (FK)
School info table: School I.D (PK) school name contact name email address
My form that's linked to the student table needs all the information from the school info table in separate fields but i can only select School I.D in the Control Source Property.
I have a query that gathers information from the tables in my database and returns something like this:
Code: Field Pest 1 Insect1 1 Insect2 1 Insect3 2 Insect1 2 Insect3 2 Insect4
Field and Pest are fields in two separate (but joined) tables. Field exists only once in its table, and multiple pests are attributed to each field. I'm looking to create a table or query in which the values would be listed as follows:
Code: Field Pest 1 Insect1, Insect2, Insect3 2 Insect1, Insect3, Insect4
The purpose for this is to create a legend for a map used by another program based on the information gathered in the database. I do have other criteria for which fields and pests show up in this query.
The interface being used is a main form with various tabs and a subform on each of these tabs.
There is one field ('max power density') in my database that is calculated using 'Max Rated Power' and 'Cylinder Capacity' however these are in different tables and subforms. The 'max power density' and 'max rated power' are in table and subform 1 but 'cylinder capacity' is in table and subform 2. Is it possible to keep them in separate tables/subforms and still calculate the field?
I have visitors who come in from one to several days at a time through different times of the year. Usually someone visits each day. Currently I use Excel to track visitors but I often keep typing and retyping the same persons over and over.
I would like to create a database of these people but I'm stuck with how to enter and retrieve the information on a daily basis. Should I create a table with many date fields (up to several); or just two; one FROM and one TO and try to draw the information out through a query? If so, how would one ask ACCESS with a query to PRINT TODAYS LIST and another VIEW TODAYS LIST (of visitors) with a button on a form (I know how to create buttons).
I created a database to record lesson information (see attached sample). When there was only one student per record, everything worked fantastic.
However, management would like to have one record per lesson, which means that up to eight students would need to be accounted for.
Adding additional Student_IDs to the lesson record table and the associated links to the student table was simple. Inputting lesson information was pretty straightforward.
The problem arises with output. There is one report to review an individual student's past lessons. Also, there is a form in which to export the lesson's public comment.
Both use different queries, but with the same name as the form and report. Both the report and exported Excel file are blank, no data.
I'm building this in A2010, but saved as A2003 (working environment).
I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.
Hi, looking for help big time!! I am a novice at using MS Access and struggling like hell. I have been set a project at University that requires me to import data from Excel, sort the data (i.e the data imported will be for a whole year and I am only interested in looking at single months), use calculations on the data imported and display this graphically. Is this possible with Access?? Any help will be gladly received as Im desperate.:(
I have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?
Sorry, i dont know where should i post this( under which category)
so i just post it here,
I want to create a login page using access, and then i wanted to record down the name of the user and the time and date(login and log out) when he/she is using the database.
