Super Easy Newb Question/s
Mar 4, 2006
I am brand new to Access/VB as of Thursday. I am an aspiring programmer still in college. My proficiencies are more to the c++/HTML side of things right now, but I am in dire need of some assistance. I was recently given a series of projects to determine if I am qualified for a particular job. I have completed them all but one. I am modifying an invoice form in Access. I have accomplished all but two of the tasks on this last project. I need to modify the invoice form so that whenever a payment amount is entered, the payment date box I created populates with that date. I know I'm really close to it, but I keep getting errors and the only thing populating the box is #Name?. I also need to open up the print/preview mode of the invoice report when I click the print button as opposed to the current form it opens up to print from right now. If anyone could offer any assistance/advice on anything...even a tutorial that might point me in the right direction that would be excellent. I have until Tuesday to figure this out =) Thanks a bunch in advance!
P.S. This is where I thought I needed to execute the update for the payment date since it is where the payment is entered. If this doesn't help at all then I apologize.
Private Sub I_Payment_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Me.I_Tax = NullToZero(Me.I_Subtotal * Me.I_TaxPerc)
Me.I_Total = Me.I_Tax + NullToZero(Me.I_Subtotal) + NullToZero(Me.I_ShipChg)
If Me.I_PaymentLock = True Then
Else
' Me.I_Payment = Me.I_Total
End If
Me.I_Balance = Me.I_Total - NullToZero(Me.I_Payment)
End Sub

I have one PC running win98,acc97 and Access is CRAWLING. I'm seeing this on ONLY this one PC, and in multiple databases.
Any ideas? Possible places to look to fix this? I've tried reinstalling Office, I'd rather not have to rebuild this pc.
Thanks,
-Mike

Well Super Complicated to me. I have setup two queries as follows,
Query 1
The function of the query is basically as follows.
1. If Field 1 is blank do nothing.
2. If Field 2 is blank then Add 7 days to Field 2.
3. If this falls over a weekend then Add another two days.
The expression I have added to do this is,
IIf(IsNull([Field1]),"", IIf(IsNull([Field2]),DateAdd("d",DateDiff("ww",[Field1],DateAdd("d",7,[Field1]),7)*2,DateAdd("d",7,[Field1]))))
Query 2
This query check whether the result of query 1 is a Weekend and if so adds another two days to it,
IIf(Weekday([Field2]= 1 Or Weekday([Field2])=7,DateAdd("d",2,[Field2]),[Field2])
My biggest problem is if I try and do any filters on this information then I get "Expression to complex" errors.
Am I over complicating things here?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This Forum is a God Send and everyone is so helpful. Ghudson's Audit Trail code saved me many hours of hair pulling :) Anyone out there who may be able to help with my Audit Trail Query?
Anyway, I've been developing a database for the last 2 weeks (night & day it seems!) to track "bugs" found in the code we (not me) develop, suggestions & new requirements and just when I thought I'd got it cracked they came up with the next requirement they'd forgotten to mention!! :eek:
I need a super snazzy search function. The top half of the screen is a form with various combo boxes of which some or all of the values can be selected i.e reference no. author, between dates and a keywords field (a bit like the search page at the beginning of this forum!). On clicking the 'Select' button all the records that meet the input criteria appear in the bottom of the screen in a data sheet view (Ref No. Description & Date). The user can the Double Click on the record they wish to view and they will be taken to the full record in the DataEntry Form.
I'm sure this isn't as complicated as it seems to me at the moment but I am so stumped I don't even know when to start. I've been writing databases for years using the wizards within Access but only recently started to experiment with code. I would really appreciate any assistance forum members can give me but as I am new to these complications please provide 'idiot proof' answers so I can understand what I am doing. :)
Thanks in anticipation

I have a form that I created using autoform from my main table. The form is just for the user to enter a new record. But when opening the form, how do I get the fields to be blank and on a new record by default, rather than starting on the first record with the fields already populated?
And then if I make a button that says "add" but just closes the window, the data should automatically save right?
Thanks.

I am fairly new to access so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I am using Access 97
What I am trying to do is create a system where I ask for a zip code, then disply the closest 5 results to that zip code.
I currently have every single city with ZIP code in Michigan. I also have the list of results with their zip codes.
Since you cant relay on ZIP codes going in order, I also have the Latitude and Longitudes for each ZIP code. Of course I have the lat and long for my possible results.
How can I get the 5 clostest results based on two different factors (Lat & Long)? Would I want to construct a Query to do this?
Any tips or sites you can refer me to would be great! Thank you!

hey,
Am new to the forum and it seems a good place for help,
Am having some big problems with a database that i am using for a company. The problem being that users need to enter ref numbers for each record on to the database called "c3" numbers, there could be a unlimited amount of these numbers(they do need to be able to reported on though) per record
At the moment i have a serperate form linked to my original form with a lot of seperate fields labelled like "c3number", "c3number1", c3number2" and so on which the user enters the c3 numbers into ans saves
however it is becoming very hard to do counting reports with it set up like this.
has anybody any ideas's on how i could make the setup simpler?
many thanks
Steve

Ok, I have studied up on relationships, and read a lot of these threads but, I still have yet to find help. It seems a lot of the people on here have difficult problems that require dificult answers. Basicaly I have two tables Tblresort and Tbllifts, now there can be many chair lifts for each ski resort, so this would call for a many-to-one relation ship. Now, I create a relationship for the fields, and enforce refrencial integrity and all that. Now what do I put into the related field in Tblresort to get the lifts with ID#'s 1-8 to be related to the first resort.
I hope this all makes sense, so far I can only get one lift conected to the resort.
Thanks in advance

I have to create a new table for some data I have from work. The data was imported within quotations though, so it won't let me copy and paste it untill the quotes are removed. I have over 3000 data values in each column, so I can't just go through and delete every quotation mark. Is there any way for me to select a column and remove the quotations around every value?
I have the XP version, by the way.
Thanks !

Hi. I'm quite poor with Access, so sorry if this sounds dumb.
I have a table of customer records (tbl_customers), including name, address & postcode etc
I have a spreadsheet of customers their postcodes from a different system that shows customers who have bought a particular product.
Is there a way that I can create a query that lists those records in tbl_customers whose postcode is matched in the spreadsheet?

I have a number of smaller queries that I want to join together to create a super query to display on a report. It works fine when I have a dozen queries joined, but as soon as I add any more, the query takes at least 10 minutes to run (although it eventually works). Is there a limit to the number of queries I can include in a query or is there some other underlying problem?
NOTE : the smaller queries only contain half a dozen records with totals.
Any ideas?

I don't normally work in access so I am sure I am asking a really easy question.
I have a table that is connected to a form where users enter survey data. Currently they have a drop down form to mark the responses to the survey as "Fully Completed", "Partly Completed", etc.
On the table I want to add the text "Awaiting Completion" to all those without any entry so that we can find out how many are left to do.
I can filter the table to give me the correct records, and assumed I could paste the text directly into the column (as with Excel).
Can anyone please let me know how to update the column easily.
Thanks for your advice.
Chris

Warning - Complete newbie post!
Hi all,
I have 2 Access databases setup, each containing 1 table. Let's call them A and B. These two tables contain some of the same fields.
Table A is used for collecting new client registration info through our website and gets updated by SQL.
Table B is on a different server and is used for company newsletter mailings.
Table A is the one which is automatically being updated so I don't need to do anything with that table. Also, some fields in Table A are auto-incrementing numbers so we can differentiate a clients interest and provide a more informative newsletter for them specifically on their selected interest.
Whenever an entry in certain fields of Table A is made, I would like the same fields of Table B to be updated with that same information automatically. For example...
Client subscribes to our newsletter on our site and selects their interests, the email field now contains the subscribers email address and the various 'interest' fields contain a '1' telling us they are interested in that particular area of our business. As this takes place on Table A, it needs to be also replicated to Table B.
Surely this is possible, but how?

As I am an SQL novice I need some help
I have 3 tables
Table - Fields
SalesLedger - TransactionID, ProductID
Vouchers - TransactionID, Voucher_Ref
Products - ProductID, Product_Description
The Salesledger has fields TransactionID and ProductID
The Salesledger is linked to the Products table by the ProductID field
The SalesLedger is linked to the Voucher Table by the TransactionID field
How do I produce a query to list all the items in the Salesledger but if there is a Product in the Products Table matching the ProductID the Product details, and if there is a TransactronID in the Voucher Table list the VoucherRef.
At the moment, it only shows transactions if there is a corrosponding TransactionID in the Vouchers Table
Probably not explaned this at all well. I will try to elborate if required.

I have a list in Xcel of approximately 1100 client #'s that I have to match to our master list of 10000's.
I can create a query to pull these Clients, but I'd like it to only pull the 1100 requested. Is there a way to import an excel file to bump up against a query so that it only pulls the requested clients?
IE do I have to create a table and bring that data in then use them both in the query?
Sorry if this is a simple question, I'm just being thrown into the fire and have very little access background.

To start: Running Office 20003. I have created a survey with Frontpages wizard. Basically It has a topic and the end user rates that topic on a scale of one to five like so:
1. Work Environment
a. I enjoy my work place. 12345
b. I think my office has a good reputation. 12345
1-5 are radial buttons. It takes the users input and stores it in an access database as im sure you all are aware. Looks kinda like this:
1a 1b 2a etc.
3 5 1
What i would like to do is this: When the users are done submitting i would like to go back and take results. I.e. we had this many users select option 3 for question 1a and we had _ number of users select option 2 for 1a, etc.
The thing is i was wondering if there was a way to create a query for it. I know i could just put =1 or =2 but that would require running 5 queries on each question.... not fun. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Viko

Hi - I think this can be quickly sorted.
I use the following code in my query to merge together my customers details to 1 field:
LeadName: [Title] & Space(1) & [FirstName] & Space(1) & [LastName]
I want to do it for their address, what do i use instead if SPACE so that i get a NEW LINE each time rather than1 space to the right?
Thankyou

Hi all. I need to know if there is a way to show the last entry for a record. In my database there is a set of numbers i.e. 3000, 3001, 3002 etc which have multiple valuation figures with them i.e. 3000 could have valuation 1 £1000, valutaion 2 £1245. So as mention what i need is my query to show the last valuation entry for the selected reference number i.e. 3000 and valuation2 only.
Any ideas?
