Table Structure - Not Duplicating Records

Feb 10, 2007

Here's another one I'm stumped on. What would be the best way to do this... if it can be done:

The tables in question are the following:

1. Exhibitors (stores exhibitor data, i.e. name, age, address, etc)
2. Livestock (stores livestock data for each exhibitor, i.e. breed, weight, gender)
3. Shows (stores data about each show, i.e. title, date, location)

I would like to have the Shows table to also store which exhibitors and livestock participated at this show. For example:

County Show: Jane Doe (exhibitor) - blackie, whitie (livestock)
John Smith - spot, blue, cutie-pie
James Black - smokey, sassy, fluffy

State Show: Jane Doe - blackie
James Black - spot, blue, cutie-pie, snuffles
Christy Meek - baby, apples

The problem is that each show will be associated with multiple exhibitors (and their different livestock). AND each exhibitor (and their livestock) will be associated with different and often times multiple shows.

So what would be the best way to have the Shows table pull the exhibitor and livestock data without having to duplicate exhibitor records for each show?

Supreport Duplicating Records

Aug 18, 2004

I have a report for parking tickets. In the report is a subreport listing each violation on the parking ticket referenced on the report.

Everything works fine except for tickets with multiple violations. For example, some tickets with two violations come out correctly on the subreport (both violations listed). Others show one of the violations listed twice and the other violation not listed at all. The queries behind the report and subreport show the correct information without the duplications.

I've tried sorting and grouping to no avail.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Duplicating Parent And Related Child Records

Dec 18, 2006

I am creating a purchase request form for my company. The main form contains the PO Request # (autonumber) and general vendor and shipping information. The subform contains the item numbers on the order, the quantity and costs. What I am trying to do is make it so that users can click a "duplicate" button on the main form of an existing PO Request and have all the data replicated into a new PO Request. A lot of what we order is repetitious and it would time saving if users could just duplicate an order and modify as necessary. Can anyone help me with this one...
Thanks!:confused:

How To Prevent Duplicating Records When Importing Data

Oct 14, 2011

We are a travel company and I am just setting up a new database with two tables - [Client_Table] & [Enquiry_Table].

Most exisiting clients call in when they want to make a new enquiry so the 'user' can go it to a form which creates a 'new enquiry' for that client.

We also download 'new enquiries' from our website. This data includes info that goes in to the [Client_Table] and [Enquiry_Table]. They download in to a XL spreadsheet. Currently I copy and paste the data (not sure if there's a better way) from the XL speadsheet in to a query. This query creates a new client record & a new enquiry record which are both linked by a primary key [Client_ID].

This all works however the problem I have is that sometimes existing clients enquire through the website. They do fill in a field to say they're an existing client but if I paste them in to the query as explained above it creates a duplicate client record.

The only way around this I can think of is it to take out any exisitng clients from the XL spreadsheet first, search for their Client_ID and then paste these enquiries seperately with their Client_Id's in to different query which only adds a new record to the [Enquiry_Table] and links them to their exisitng record in the [Client_Table].

Duplicating A Record In A Table

Dec 4, 2007

I have a table that contains financial data on projects. Each project has one record consisting of numerous fields.

I want users to be able to archive off copies of these records at certain points in time so I can track the financial data - a bit like storing different versions or issues.

On any one day I want users to be able to access the live record and review the archive.

Question : Is there a simple way of duplicating a record in a table ?

At the moment I am using a form by copying all of the field values from this form, moving to a new record, writing the field values back to the form hence creating a copy. This seems somewhat laborious.

Can't I access the table directly somehow and simply cut and paste ?

Also, is there a simple way to check for a duplicate record before cloning the record i.e. if the data has already been archived once don't do it again.

Modules & VBA :: Copy Structure Of A Table To Make A Temp Table

Apr 20, 2015

I'm trying to copy the structure of a table to make a temp table. I'm using CopyObject (which also copies the data). So when I delete the data from the temp table, it also deletes data from the source table. Is the data linked? It should just be deleted from the temp table. Below is the beginning of the code. I've stepped through, and at the last step shown, the data in the source table deletes.

Code:
Dim strFile As String
Dim temp As String
Dim tbl As String
Dim db As DAO.Database

' error handle
On Error GoTo F_Error

[Code] .....

Need Help With Table Structure

Oct 28, 2004

Here’s a little scenario:

An engineer requests that “x” amount of computers are ordered for the company. The estimated costs of the system(s) are determined. The estimated cost of the systems is forwarded to a manager, and the request must be approved by a manager before the order is placed. Once the manager approves the request, the order is placed through the ordering company. After the ordering company approves the order, an order number is assigned and serial number(s) specific to each computer is associated with that order number. At this point it is possible to track the order status via existing programs using the assigned order number and serial numbers. After it is determined through the existing software that the order has been shipped, invoiced, and received by the Receiving department, I need to physically go pick up the systems and submit them into my Central Inventory. From the central inventory, systems will be checked out to employees as needed, checked back in when testing is finished, or transferred internally between employees......

3nf Table Structure, I Think, No What?

Dec 15, 2004

I have been reading up on normalizing table structures. I have this database that I am working on, to work as a hiring database. It should hold information about people applying to the law firm I work at.

I am looking for advice on if this table structure is normalized and sound. I am also looking for specific help on creating good forms.

Thanks for any help that can be given!

ps. I am attaching a zip that has a jpg view of the tables and their relationships, as well as the db with the table structure.

I would love any and all advice. I want a very clear concept for this db before I do anything!

Thanks again!

Structure Of A Table

Apr 27, 2005

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about this... and I couldn't come up with the best explination. Hopefuly someone here can point me in the right direction.

He has a table

Recipies(Id, name, item1, quantity1, item2, quantity2, item3, quantity3, item4, quantity4)

I don't believe that this is the proper way to create a table. What happens if you happen to come across a Recipie that needs 6 items?? or more??
After researching it, I believe it violates 2NF. Is this correct?

Instead I think a better structure would be

Recipies(Id, name)

RecipiesIngredients(Recipies.ID, Ingredients.ID, quantity)

Ingredients (Id, Name)

The problem my friends sees with this method is the fact that the Xref table will get giant.

In the example... Speed is of utmost importance, as the tables will most likely contain thousands of records and be queried against frequently.

Thanks for any input.

Table Structure Help

Jan 29, 2006

I need some help trying to setup tables on a new database. I want to setup a house analysis database where I can evaluate each room for it’s condition broken down by feature. I can’t seem to figure out a good way to tie all the rooms and evaluations back to that house’s address (primary key). I want the fields to work as shown below with the room evaluations tracked to each room and house address. If possible I would like to be able to enter the as many room names as needed for each address.

House Address

Bedroom 1______________Bedroom 2_______________Bathroom 1

Ceiling condition –Good____Ceiling condition-Fair____Ceiling condition- Good
Floor condition – Fair______Floor condition – Fair____Floor condition - Fair
Wall condition – Good_____ Wall condition – Bad____Wall condition - Good

Can someone please explain to me how I should structure the tables to work. As a novice Access programmer I am out of ideas. Please help me!!

Table Structure

Jan 30, 2006

What's the best way to setup this db?

I have the following information:

Company
Company ID
Program A
Program B
Program C
Program D
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
The years indicate the year the Program participated in the company. For example, Program A participated in Company Z from 2000 to 2005, Program D participanted in Company Z from 2001 to 2002.

Should I have a table with the Companies and Program A and the years from 2000 to 2005
and a table for the Companies and Program B and the years, etc? I was going to add a yes/no field for each program, too. There must be a simplier way.

I want to be able to query participation of workers in any of the programs.

What is the best way to set this up?

Thanks.

Help With Table Structure

Sep 4, 2007

i have been asked to design an access databse for a friend who is a bricklayer. He wants to use it to store all the work he does so he can produce his timesheet quicker.

He works on building sites and has to show a plot number next to all the work he does. He wants to be able to search for a plot number and see what jobs he has already booked in for a particular plot number.

For example, if he is working on a block of flats, each flat will have individual plot numbers. If he is working on the outer wall of the flat his timesheet has to show all plot numbers for that block so he will normally show this as plots 100-110. however, if he works on an internal wall in one of the flats he will have to show just one plot number on his time sheet, for instance plot 104.

my problem is that he wants to be able to search for plot 104 and have it list both jobs he has done even though one job is shown as plots 100-110. How can i structure the database tables to allow this to happen.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Table Structure

Oct 10, 2007

hi everyone,i'm new to access and despite reading quite abit im just not grasping how to set up tables and relationships for what im wanting to do.I need a customer contacts table/form to keep track of my customers info (name, address, etc) & who's placing orders, easy enough.Now with some of my customers its always the same person who places the order but with others it can be anyone of up to about 15 different people who place the order each one can have their own direct phone no.So what im wanting to do is create a customer contact table/form and then linked to that who in that company placed the order with their phone no. Ideally i'd like it so once I have entered the info I can just use drop down menu's to select the company name then it opens up a list of all the people who I deal with in that company so I can just select the person/phone no who is placing the order.Can anyone help & advise me through best way of doing thisthanks alot

Help On Table Structure

Jan 18, 2008

Good morning,since this is my first post I hope I'm not making to many mistakes.I'm making a database for school in Access 2003. In this database I have 2 parts.. A part for Patch connections and a part for PC repairs. The PC repair part is doing okay. The patch part is where I'm having some trouble.I don't exactly know how to start with it, and I'm hoping someone here can help me out.The form, I want to make based on tables should look something like this:A ComboBox filled from a table with about 10 entries in it. (Patchkasten)A textfield in which I have to enter something like this: XX-00 (x stands for alphabetic - 0 stands for nummeric)(Patchnummer) This will have around ~3000 entries.Those 2 should somehow be connected in a table as 1 field. (if that is possible offcourse)If not, is there another way to do something like this, because the combination of (patchkasten)and(patchnummer) has to be unique.. And at last a combobox (ruimte) with around ~ 150-200 entries.Now my question is if someone could help me setting this up somehow. Help would be appriciated.Thanks,F3dde
