System Tables

Oct 24, 2006

Hello,

My application I develop should retrieve some meta data from Access system tables. It should find:
- What tables are stored in database.
- What columns have each table in database.
- What relationships are between tables in database.
I opened systems tables of some .mdb file and took interest in such kind of information. But I got some problems by looking for what exactly I need. Please, could someone help me at these points:

1) I found that in system table MSysObjects I can find names and ids of tables created by user (for example by me). But how to determine that these tables are created by user and they are not let’s say a system tables?
2) I didn’t find any meta data about columns of tables! How to determine what columns has each table?

I created application which uses MS SQL Server to retrieve such a kind of meta information and there where no problems. But I stuck using Access.
I was looking for some information in Internet but ineffectively. Please, help me...

Tables :: Primary Web Based Inventory System - Update Raw Data From Another System

Mar 13, 2014

I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.

Need Help With System Tables And Front-end/back-end Applications

Oct 29, 2007

I currently have a front-end/back-end database, but at some point in time one of the tables has been modified and whenever the front end connects it comes up with a parameter request for a field that no longer exists. I have narrowed it down to MSysQueries, where there is a reference to this field. Is there anyway I can avoid this or change/repair the system table?

Compact and repair doesn't work unfortunatly.

Thanks

General :: Extract PID From System Security Tables

Apr 7, 2013

I have inherited a 2003 db with unknown PIDs for the Group & User security.When trying to alter User details, I'm asked for a PID, so I'm trying to find the PID for the existing users.

I've gone to unhide the systems tables to get a dump of the data & hopefully find the PIDs but no luck so far.There is a Parent ID & if I run a query from the Users DB file, it appears as if it something like japanese writing ???

Tables :: Timesheet Structure - Check In System

Apr 12, 2013

I'm creating a timesheet/check in system (log in when the person starts work so it logs it and when they log out it logs that also for the manager or someone with high power to see.) for a fictitious scenario for an IT major project but I'm not sure where to start!

At the moment I have a few tables that are like this.

Table: Employees
Fields: EmployeeID, First Name, Last Name, DOB

Table: PayRates
Fields: RateID, EmployeeID, HourRate, TotalHours

Table:WorkTimes
Fields: EmployeeID, PayPeriod, WorkDate, StartTime, EndTime, TotalHours

I'm not entirely sure if this is all correctly structured, it just doesn't look/sound right to me.

Tables :: Creating Invoice System With Subform Within Main Form?

Nov 24, 2013

I'm trying to create an invoice system with a sub-form within the main form. The issue I'm having is that the data in the sub-form keeps getting overwritten each time a new record is created for the main form. So when I go back to edit an older record, the data in the sub-form is changed to whatever the latest record had in it. Is there a way to lock in the data in the sub-form so that it stays with it's own record?

Tables :: Attendance Tracking System - Adding Hours For Each Student Enrolled In Class Session

Jul 12, 2013

I'm creating an attendance tracking system, the attendance system needs to : Allow an instructor to enroll students into one or more classes, and then add attendance by date to each class(es). The problem that I'm having is, attendance is tracked by the number of hours that a student attends class. For instance, if class1 is in session from 8a.m. - 12p.m. student1 may only stay 2.50 hours of that class and student2 may stay 3 hours. The teacher needs to be able to add attendance to class1 for July 12, 2013 and add hours for each student enrolled in this class session who attended on that day. I have the following so far, minus the attendance:

Students -This is just the basic demographic information that instructors will need to enter on students.
StudentID (PK)
StudentLastName
StudentFirstName
DateOfEnrollment
LevelOfStudy
DateOfBirth

Location - These are the locations in which our students can attend classes
LocationID (PK)
LocationName
County
City
LocationPhoneNumber
LocationFaxNumber

Classes - These are the classes that our students can attend.
CRNNo (PK)
ClassName
LocationID
InstructorID

Instructor - These are the instructors that teach our classes.
InstructorID (PK)
InstructorLastName
InstructorFirstName
InstructorEmailAddress

Enrollment - This table enrolls the student into a class
StudentID(PK)
CRNNo (PK)
LocationID (PK)

System.MDW File

Jun 18, 2005

I am still a bit confused about the system.mdw file.
I create FE and BE on my local computer and change name of system.mdw to say Jobs.mdw, after backing up system.mdw I then join jobs.mdw with my jobs FE and jobs BE and set secutity settings, etc. I then place
FE, BE and Jobs.mdw all in the same folder.

I now email jobs database with jobs.mdw file to client which places FE, BE and jobs.mdw in Jobs folder on server. Shortcut for fe is placed on each local machine.

My question-Does Jobs FE and Jobs BE still access Jobs.mdw even though placed on another computer and possibly another version of Access?

Does the shortcut have to reference Jobs.mdw?

I need to understand this.

Thanks,

Jim

Set An Equiry System

Dec 15, 2005

Hi, I am trying to implement my Database with an enquiry (or quotation) table and I am not sure I am heading in the right direction:

-We use assemblies made of components and the data are held together in the database with a 'Bill of Material' set up.
-A typical assembly is made of 1 or 2 bodies + Fasteners (straps and screws),
-The body price is calculated depending on his weight and an extra costs can be added with extra tooling and machining,

The costumer ask us for a quotation for various number of assemblies and we send back the estimation of the price,

I am really struggling to see if my tables are set right and this is what I came up with (attached rr.zip):
A main Enquiryfile Table is linked to an enquiryDetail Table which would record each individual item information for each Enquiry.
I have also added a Extracost detail table that would record all the Machining and extra pattern making cost for each assembly.
And finally, and that's what I am far to be sure about, a TblChildItemCost where the price of each components would be recorded (for each enquiry detail). The body price is based on his weight but also depend of various market exchange rates, that is the reason why I have created a table for the price of component for each enquiry.
I really hope someone can help me on that one...Thanks in advance.

Slot Reservation System

Oct 7, 2005

Hi there,

I'm working on my A2 IT Access project atm, and my aim is to produce a fully functional db for use by a golf course, incorporating membership information and tee-time reservation system.

I've got the membership side pretty much sorted, so now I need to start work on the reservation system.
But where to start?

Basically, the user needs to be able to view slot availablity on a specific day, and make/change/delete bookings quickly and easily. The booking also needs to contain the party size. The bookings themselves should relate back to the specific member that made it via the MemberID field.
The user should be able to make bookings upto 6months in the future.
Block bookings should also be possible, so that the admin can block an entire day out for a tournament therefore preventing member bookings.
The first available and last available slots also need to be editable by the system admin to take into account time of year, light conditions etc.

Right, so i know there's quite a lot there, and i'm sure i'll come up with more features that would make it better.
But as it stands, that's something to get me started.

I'm not asking for someone to do the project, just to point me in the right direction as to suitable table structure, how to "make" the slots, how to store the bookings in the table, etc.

So, any input and ideas are greatly appreicated.

Cheers
Gavin W

Is It Possible To Loop Through System Objects?

Jul 25, 2006

Is it possible to loop through all forms within a project and look at its controls? I was requested to change some object names to a more generic name, but I would like to find all references of the form within the Access application. Is there an easy way to do this?

I know that the MSysObjects contains the listing of all forms, but I don't know how to generically type cast a local variable to the form name listed in the table.

Does this make sense? There has to be a way to do this, but I haven't found anything in searching this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Order Management System

Jul 29, 2006

I have little experience using Microsoft Access, but am attempting to create an order management system.

I have designed a system to store customer details and allow the entry of orders. I now want to develop this so that the system can handle delivery notes.

There are currently two tables for order information, since each order can consist of multiple items. So, general information, like the order date, order number and salesperson are stored in an orders table. A second table, Order Detail lists the items and item specific information along with the order number of which they are a part.

A whole order (i.e. all items assigned to one order number) may be delivered at once, or in smaller consignments. However, every consignment must have a delivery note with a unique number. So, there may be several delivery note numbers associated with each order, relating to different shipments.

I therefore need to create a system which allows the user to select which items from an order are being dispatched and then get Access to do the following:


Create a new record in the delivery notes table. The delivery note number will therefore be created (it's an autonumber). The user should be prompted to enter the delivery date and this should be stored in the date column of the delivery notes table, alongside the delivery note number.
Enter the delivery note number in the "Delivery Note Number" field of the Order Details table, for every item that the user selected as dispatching.

Once this is in place, I will then be able to pull all the required details together with a query and then print the delivery note.

Bearing in mind that I'm very new to Access and so don't have any knowledge of scripts/macros etc, can anyone tell me how I can achieve this?

Many thanks in advance,

Gary
