Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details
Field name = ID (auto-generated)
Field name = FirstName (text)
Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter

I created a form and created on it a list box which is a query that grabs certain number of fields from different tables. I would like the user to select from this list box of a choice and then store their selection into a table.This list box has three fields, but it needs to store the id rather than the item, the user would see the name of the item but the id of the item would be store into another table, called bid. It store all these three fields when a user selection one of the item from the list.

The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain.
Setup:
Table1
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
Table2
FieldID = Number
FieldName = Text
T1_ID = Number
Relationship
Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1.
Table1:
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
Table2:
1st,January
1st,February
1st,March
2nd,April
2nd,May
2nd,June
3rd,July
3rd,August
3rd,September
4th,October
4th,November
4th,December
Table3:
Table1Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table1, BoundColumn=1
Table2Field = Number, ComboBox-Source: Table2, BoundColumn=1
If Table1Field = 1st then
Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something?
Thanks

Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
Access 2003.
Situation: 3 tables. Manufacturers, Countries & Provinces/States. 1 Form for data entry in Manufacturers.
Countries table contains ID, Country and CountryCode fields. i.e. 47, Great Britain & GB
Provinces/States table contains ID, Province/State and CountryCode. as in 1, Alaska and US.
In the form the country is easily selected from a list refering directly to the Countries table.
Problem: How to make a list in the form from which the user can simply select the province for the country that has previously been selected. And not a list with all teh provinces and states from every country in the world. (This would be a really really long list...)
I have a form that I am working on.
When you open the form, it asks for a tool # (which will be a drop-down box). There will be a command button that will bring up a sub-form. In the subform, there are 2 combo boxes. One picks the group that the tool falls under, and the other has the section of the group for the tool.
When the user picks the section, I need it to filter the questions that pertain to that section (which is listed in a list table), and pull those questions, and populate the master table with them. (i.e., Pulls "where is tool?" from tblQuestions, and puts it in the tblQuestionMaster when section is selected from combobox).
:confused:
I have 2 questions/problems:
1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated

I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
Hiya guys,
I have got what seems to be a pretty straight forward task i need to do!
I have got a table named tblInput, with four fields Type, Collection, Value and Reason.
I need to give the Type field two possible options "a" or "b", i then need the Reason field to display a list of values depending on whether "a" or "b" was selected in the Type field.
Values for "a" need to be "Success", "Failure" or "Rejected"
Values for "b" need to be "Status Change" or "Amendment"
I have been playin for a couple hours now trying various differnent methods but i am commin up short, its this something i am able to do from a table?
Many thanks

Hi,
I have a list box which is bound to a field in a table - however, when I select a value (which comes from a lookup query) it is not writing the value to the table, which is basically making my database useless!
I've also tried using an update query using the following code (before trying this I made the list box unbound):
UPDATE tblgroup SET tblgroup.Price = [Forms]![frmMain].[lstPrice].[value]
WHERE (((tblgroup.Group)=[forms]![frmMain].[txtGroup].[value]));
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.
How do I add fields from a different table when constructing the form?
Thanks in advance.

When you use a Yes/No field in your table and then want to have another field that will allow the user to list if yes...
_______________
Example that will be used in my form:
Are there any dependencies? Yes/No (they will choose from a drop down, yes or no)
If yes, please list dependencies: ??
_______________
How do you set up the if yes field in the table? I want it to be able to have it show as a list, not as one long text field with everything seperated by commas or semi-colons.
Is this possible?
How would i set up a table for a list,.. ie.
For each product there is a list of 5-10 things?
Product1.....Product2
a...............f
b...............g
c...............h
d...............i
e...............J
There can be new products added and new subs in the products. How can i build my table to correspond with data integrity?
Hello all. I am new here. I am making a database involving some countries. What I would like to know is:
How could I list the records present in a table and then count how often they appear. For example:
http://i11.tinypic.com/4lp849e.png
I may just have to list the records of Top 20 column to see what records appear in the table, but how do I count them? Say, for Peru, it appears in all the columns...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would not like to manually type in the records to count them, but rather use the list and for each record in that list, count how many times that record in present in that table.
I have a master table with several pick list columns. One field in particuliar has 3 options(fed from a separate table):
a
b
c
But, the user will have a need to select more than just 'a' for example. they will need to select 'a' and 'b', or 'b' and 'c'....etc
Can this be done in a table within Access?
Thank You,

I haven't built a relational DB in years and I realise I'm pretty damn rusty at it. Any help would be appreciated.
Basically I've compiled a list of software applications our offices use, and I'm compiling which PCs have which software installed. Ideally I'd end up building a form with checkboxes for common software apps and text fields holding serial numbers or login IDs where applicable. But I'm stumped already on just the table layout. I currently have:
tblSoftware:
SoftID (Autonumber) - Primary Key and identifier for individual software apps
Software (Text) - Software title
Description (Text) - Any additional information (Licence, etc)
tblComputers:
NetID (text) - The Network Identification of the PC, also acts as Primary Key
User (text) - Name of user assigned to the machine
and having a One to Many relationship between NetID and SoftID. This should be a simple DB but I've been separated from all my manuals and the net is proving more useful for specific fault finding.
How can I set up the tables and relationships so that a query can be used to update the software for each computer?
:( Hi Guys,
I have a very basic DB of customers names and addresses. What I want to do is find all the enquiries within the months of August, September and October, send all these enquiries to a new table so that I can use this new table for a mailshot.
The date of the incoming enquiry is in a field on it own and written as dd/mm/2006.
If there is an easy way to create a mailing list from the original table please let me know.
Best Regards

I've just been upgraded to Office 2003 (from 2000) and I'm trying to create an append query. I have three tables but only two are displayed on the table list drop down. I can type in the missing table and the query works but I don't understand why all the available tables are not being shown. Does this happen for anyone else and what can I do?
TIA

Hi,
I have a form with various list boxes that display options based on a query. When options are selected the text relating to them is populated in a seperate text box at the side.
The problem im having is when I select options from the list box I want it to store the selected options in the table that holds each record when the form has been filled out and submitted. At the minute it populates everything into the table apart from the options selected from the list boxes.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have got the control souurce of the list boxes set to the correct field in the table.
created a main form called "frmPatientDemographics" that contains
txtFirstName (Text Box)
txtLastName (Text Box)
txtDOB (Text Box)
txtCountry (Text Box)
cboGender (Combo Box)
it's record source is a table called "tblPatientDemo" that are populated based
on the information place in the above text boxes
Here is my problem
I have a subform called "frmPatientLanguageSub"
Source Object......... frmPatientLanguge
link Child Fields..... PatientID
link Child Fields..... PatientID
When list box Multi Select is set to "Simple" and I add a new patient and click on
multiple selections in the list box it does not populate the "tblPatientLanguge"
But if I change the Multi Select is set to "None" it populates the "tblPatientLanguge"
for that patient
Any Ideas why access populates the "tblPatientLanguge" if I set the Multi Select property to "None" but not for "Simple"?
If so How do I make access poplulate when the table when muliple selections are selected in the list box?
I have the following info in a table - I am trying to make a file to import into a label printing program. I have qty 5 of item X13 and so need 5 labels for it, 3 of X24's and so on. The output is basically a print file that will print the right quantity of labels for each of the names equipment.
Name; number
X13; 5
X24; 3
X77; 1
I need an output file as follows, in excel or query result:
X13
X13
X13
X13
X13
X24
X24
X24
X77
How do i achieve this in a query or do I need code and if so what would it look like..
Thanks

Hello, I'm having a spot of bother ....
I have a form that populates, in a list box, the tables within my Access database when it opens. I need to be able to do the following;
1 - Populate another list box on the form with the field names of the table I've selected
2 - Check to see if the table has a specific field, and if not, add that field to the table
Is there anybody out there that has done something similar or knows how to do this?
My programming skills are fairly basic, so I would appreciate an example of the code.
Thanks in advance.
It is essential that i use MS access to do this, what i need to do is have a drop down list on an ms access table to make sure the data in the field is exact, i could use validation if this is not possible but i would prefer this method also i dont need an answer to this but is there a way to make the key field dependant on whatever is selected on the dropdown menu? sort of use a general input mask but alter something dependant on the drop down menu to have it as specific characters, i have some experience with VB if there is a way to link vb programming with access

I am in the process of trying to merge two large databases. I have four tables that really should be one to work in the new DB. I just need to be able to print a list of fields in each table so that I can work on the new combined structure before making the changes. I know I can use the documenter but this produces a very comprehensive list which is much more than I need.
Is there anyway of producing a similar list without the detail, just showing the field names.
Thanks
