My database is due tommorrow and my switchboard has gone crazy on me, it doesnt work anymore. When you scrolll your mouse it then goes through the links thats the only way to get to the section you want.
So question is this, whats the advantage of using it?
Cant I just set some hyperlinks to the items I want and it would be the same. Wondering cause dont know if I should spend time trying to fix it or just make hyperlinks...and its due tommorrow.
I have a database which every week I have to import an excel spreadsheet. Now this spread sheet will always have rows that repeat and will have somewhere between 700-1500 rows.
What is my best option to delete the rows that repeat? Meaning if a rows 1-10 have the same data then delete 9 of them. It will vary but I only need the unique record and the others can be deleted.
Would this be best way using a query? VB or something else?
There are 6 columns that will always be in the spreadsheet with the same column names:
There will be rows that will repeat on every spreadsheet everytime. The only column that will not repeat will be CONTACT_COMMENTS. This column is needs to be deleted everytime.
I guess I didnt know if when I import the spreadsheet if something was possible that would:
Delete the CONTACT_COMMENTS then delete the duplicate rows upon importing or even after since this will have to be done everytime.
After being a member on this site for a while now I would like to get some opinions on "cost of application development" I know the forum covers a wide geographic area and the members cover a wide spectrum of degrees of expertise on Access and application development. So the question is this..What would your rates be and how would you determine your charges for developing Access applications for a business?PS... Please include your location if not in your profile.
I am trying to do a partial duplication query. this is the code from the SQL view in accessSELECT filtered1.Company_NameFROM filtered1WHERE (((filtered1.Company_Name) In (SELECT [Company_Name] FROM [filtered1] As Tmp GROUP BY [Company_Name], Left([Company_Name],7) HAVING Count(*)>1 And Left([Company_Name],7) = Left([filtered1].[Company_Name],7))))ORDER BY filtered1.Company_Name;the table filtered1 has 1300 records, under the field Company_Name.the 7's apparently should get it to compare the first 7 letters, and if the same show me them. A whats going wrong, its not showing me any, asthough there are none, (which i know there are) and B. How would i get it to compare the first 7 letters across tables, with fields of the same name?thanksalex
"Microsoft JScript runtime error 'null' is null or not an object line = 126, col = 7 (line is offset from the start of the script block). Error returned from property or method call." what does that mean?
Dont understand what is controlling these decimals. I dont need any decimals for this database. The currency is talking bout money in 1000's and the probability is whole numbers.
I felt scared... []Before I was on the roller coaster []When I was on the roller coaster []After I was on the roller coaster
I need to be able to query/search the database for people that were scared "before", "during", "after", "before and during", "before and after", "during and after". Then I can categorize these people. What would be the best way to do it? Should I have 3 "yes/no" fields in my table, or one text field with those 3 as the lookup field? What one would make organizing the people easier? :D Thanks!
SELECT Fields FROM table1 RIGHT JOIN table2 ON table1.Pubid = table2.PubID WHERE (table1.PubType=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Is null) AND (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] IS null) And (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] is null) AND (table2.Unfinancial=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] IS null);
even if i only have one parameter (a member type, which should bring back at least 20 for each type of member) it returns nothing. if i do the same sql statement in a query and hard codee the value in i get data. it seems to be ignoring whatever is on the form.

I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
The current challenge I have in MS Access in really giving me a headache. I can’t seem to find an answer or indeed think “outside the box” so I am hoping there is someone who can help.
Below I will outline the design of my database, the problem I have and my proposed solution. My solution is “What I want to do” rather than “How I do it”. If you have the time and patience to look at my problem and suggest how I proceed, I will be really grateful.
CURRENT DATABASE DESIGN
I created a database that imports daily telephone data. The design below is a simplified version of the real thing but it contains the essential information needed to understand my database.
I extract data from the phone system for “Lines” (3 digit code) e.g. ‘301’,’302’ which each have a corresponding line “Description” e.g. ‘New Customers’, ‘Accounts Queries’. There are three main daily extracts (1) Inbound Calls (2) Outbound Calls and (3) Time. Each extract has either “Line” or “Description” as the unique identifier but not both.
There are 50 lines with matching descriptions and each is allocated to one of 20 teams. I have a query which links all three extracts, groups the data by team and date. Therefore this query creates 20 records (teams) for each day (date).
CURRENT QUERY AND TABLES
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team
Tbl Inbound Calls Line Date Offered Calls Answered Calls Abandoned Calls
Tbl Outbound Calls Description Date Outgoing Calls
Tbl Time Description Date Answer Time Abandon Time Talk Time Wrap Up Time
Qry Grouped By Team Daily
Line – linked to line in Tbl Incoming Calls Description – linked to description in both Tbl Outgoing Calls and Tbl Time
Team – Grouped field Date – Grouped filed Offered Calls - Sum Answered Calls - Sum Abandoned Calls - Sum Outgoing Calls - Sum Answer Time - Sum Abandon Time - Sum Talk Time - Sum Wrap Up Time - Sum
PROBLEM
Customer Services “Team” is made up of six lines (301-306) and Business Partners “Team” is made up of three lines (307-309). For each day my query creates a record for each of these teams based on how the line is allocated in Tbl Line Lookup.
The business had decided that line 304 calls are part of the Business Partners with effect from 01/05/06. If I change the team name associated with 304 in Tbl Line Lookup this will, incorrectly, allocate all information (from 01/01/06 to present) to Business Partners.
I need a mechanism to allocate 304 to Customer Services prior to 30/04/06 and to Business Partners after 01/05/06.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
I want to introduce a new field in Tbl Line Lookup called Effective Date.
Tbl Line Lookup (50 records) Line Description Team Effective Date
Then I want to introduce a new query which links the data in the three data tables and allocates the correct team name by comparing the date in these extracts with the effective date in the Tbl Line Lookup.
I would then run my original query (Qry Grouped By Team Daily) over this query instead of the original tables.
Please can someone tell me if it is possible to look up values in another table to determine the value of a field in the way I have described?
Have a button on a form that when pressed opens a file browse, allows you to pick a text file (May contain different values and in future the structure may change slightly), then import the text file contents into a temp table (2 fields, Setting & Value), then run a query to take different values from the temp table and put them in to different fields in to different tables linked to the same main record where the button is, then save the record and all linked tables data, and then delete the temp table, and display a message box saying something like done.
Each import file will be a single record, but has to many fields to be in one table
I also need to extract only part of Field 1 (Sample Below), the part after the = (150 in below)
Many will look at this and laugh but its real. My Access Dbs are opened in hidden state and i dont see my forms. This must be the cause. I tried to hide the menubars using ghudsons code,i disabled the shift key. But i dont know what has happened.
I can nolonger view them. I have tried every method out and i think the only option is to repair OS, may be it will work.
I have enabled the database which i disabled the shift key but when i hold down the shift key, it loads but the forms are totally hidden, STRANGE! ijust see the grey access background and when i click on it twice from the task bar.It pops up.
I have tried to make another database, use the autoexec macro to call a form which enables all command bars, but this works only for this database and when i press the shift key down, this database hides the toolbars and i only see the grey access background. This is happening on EVERY DB ive developed on this machine. I thought it was the access that is totally corrupted but i tried to reinstall my office and i still get the same results This is now a NIGHTMARE to me.
When db is shifted to another machine it works fine as before. This is REAL but can i get some suggestions from you folks before i repair my OS.
"relationship must be on the same number of fields with the same data types" data types are same, numbers.
Primary table has just jobnoID that are all unique (primary table) ie 6907, 6908, 6909 etc
second table "jobs by order" (secondary table) has unique orderno(order numbers) in column one say 69071 and 69072, 69073 and jobno in second coloumn say 6907, 6907, 6907 for all the above.
trying to link JobnoID primary table (one to many) to Jobno secondary table (many)
Also need to note. This database is a purchase order database. so am trying to load in all past data from excel. data is in already. so primary table above with jobno is an auto number so will generate the new jobno for us. but had to copy and paste blank fields into table to get records upto the number we are upto now, ie job number 7112. I have only put data in secondary table for jobno's 6885 through to 7112, and even some of these have blank spaces.
Any ideas? Also how do i do a screen capture and dump in here so you can see relationships etc, which would be a whole lot easier to explain. thanks heaps Alastair:rolleyes:
I am building a database for a Real Estate business.
I have 2 tables tblPurchasers and tblVendors.
I intend to write a query that will match the requirements of the purchasers to the properties for sales (from the vendors).
My issue is this (best illustrated via an example);
I run my Query on the 1st April and four properties are produced as being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' immediately deems properties 1 and 2 unsuitable and views property 3 on the 6th April. Property 3 is subsequently deemed unsuitable as well.
I re-run my qury on the 10th April and five properties are produced as now being suitable for purchaser 'A'.
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so i don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Purchaser 'A' has already dismissed properties 1,2 and 3 so I don't want to show him these again ....... how do I just ensure that properties 4 and 5 appear ?
Something involving a yes/no box on a form would be the best method for me of implementing this (as it would fit in with the scematic of the database to date).
I imagine the properties (with a small photo) appearing and tick boxes headed 'Unsuitable', 'Viewed' etc be used to dismiss properties, which do then not re-appear.
Detailed search cannot answer my time problem. Returning after long break in programming, I am trying to create a form to display TimeIn and TimeOut fields such that actioning an OnClick command (or separate tick-box), TimeIn field will hold current time for that record. Need to set the same for a TimeOut field. Both cases time always to be < 24 hours.
Am so rusty on MS Access putting default value as =now() produces an error!! Any basic help to wind up the old mind always appreciated.
Ok, I have access on my computer but my boss does not. (I use my personal laptop). When I finish my project is there a way to allow him to use it without access? Like can I just make it a windows application? If so can somebody please point me in the right direction? Thanks
Hi: I try to get the value in a real time. There are two subforms inside a mainform. First user enters value into mainform. Than comes to subform1. And after that on the basis of a choice in subform1, the 2nd subform is open. In 2nd subform i create a listbox with that query.
SELECT [tbl_Events].[PPVVOD_Outlet] FROM tbl_Events WHERE [tbl_Events].[ticketnum]=[Forms]![tbl_PPVResearch]![ticketnum];
But it shows empty. [tbl_Events].[PPVVOD_Outlet] is a subform1
