I have an Access database, where one of the tables is near the maximum amount of fields (241 of 255), was just wondering if I could set up a secondary table that would be linked to the original table by a specific field and would store the other fields that would like to add to the table.
View RepliesI have a DB with 4 tables:
Property (used for look-up values)
Service Type (used for look-up values)
Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below)
Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.
I have a form where I am entering orders. For this, there is only 1 item and 1 customer per order. The Order_Table is the 'general' of the form. However, I want a Customer_name dropdown on the form, and return data to 'display' on the form (but capturing and ONLY storing the Customer_no), once the user makes a selection.
Additionally, in the same vein, I want to have an Item_name list, where the user selects one from the listing, and display (again, no edit) the name. Again, only want to store the Customer & Item numbers on the Order table.Here's the 'general' table layout (I've taken out what doesn't matter):
Table: Order_Table
Order_no
Customer_no
Item_no
Table: Customer_Table
Customer_no
Customer_name
Table: Item_Table
Item_no
Item_name
Hi,
I can't seem to get this right...any help much appreciated:
I have a two tables LESSON<PAYMENT (One to Many)
LESSON
Lesson_ID (PK autonumber)
Lesson_Date (Date)
PAYMENT
Payment_ID (PK autonumber)
Lesson_ID (FK)
Payment_Date (Date)
I am maintaining LESSON using a simple form. On creating each new LESSON record, I also wish to insert a row into PAYMENT, using values from the LESSON table - Payment_ID(autonumber), Lesson_ID = LESSON.Lesson_ID, Payment_Date = LESSON.Lesson_Date
What is the best way to do this?
I have tried to add an Event Procedure to 'Before Insert' but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Also, for this to work, do I need to paint all fields on LESSON form including (hidden) PK?
I have simplified the tables above but they are relevant to what I am trying to do. Any help would be much appreciated- am new to Access...rather frustrating.
Many thanks,
Simon.
PS I have searched through existing messages but can't see one that answers this, I apologise if this has been answered before- just point me to the orig post.
I have a problem... I have four tables(but my problem is limited to just two)
The tables are Orders, Customers, Items and OrderedItems
The two more detailed below creates the problem when trying to copy an already existing order to a new since the customers usally order the samethings over and over again.
Orders
IDOrders
IDCustomers
strSalesperson
strWhen
strSent
OrderedItems
IDOrderedItems
IDOrders
IDItems
iNumber
bPacked
So I have made a copy button on the order form. The copy button should do this:
1. First save the old orders IDOrders and IDCustomers (which it does)
2. Create a new order with old data (which doesnt do)
3. Copy all post in OrderedItems with a new IDOrdered using INSERT INTO and using columns
My SQL statement is like follows:
sSQL ="INSERT INTO Orders(IDCustomers, strSalesperson, strWhen, strSent, strComment) VALUES (" & itmpIDCustomers & ",'" & strSalesperson & "', '" & strWhen & "','" & strSent & "');"
But the reply I got is "Could not find output table 'Orders'" but I have checked the names over and over again but it doesnt work.
Hi all, don't know if this is possible, but right now I'm running a query and then performing Dmin/Dmax on each record in the recordset and it's running SLOOOOW. Perhaps if I can get it from a query it would be faster.
I have Table-A and Table-B with a one to many relationship. In the Table-A I preferably need to return only one row per record. From Table-B, I need to return the minimum and maximum record that corresponds to the ID in Table-A.
I am familiar with min and max, but it the join methods I've been using either return multiple rows per ID or none. Any way around this?
I built an Append Query to take records of 'Leavers' from my Primary Table and add them to a Secondary Table named 'Leavers. This worked perfectly, but on reflection I determined that I needed to append a further column 'Notes' which exists in the Main Table but not in the Secondary Table.I amended the SQL statement as follows, but the query now fails stating that it doesn't recognize the field 'Notes'.
INSERT INTO Leavers ( [Member ID], Surname, [First Name], [Address 1], [Address 2], Town, PostCode, Phone, [E-Mail], Notes )
SELECT [Mail List].[Member ID], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].[Address 2], [Mail List].Town, [Mail List].PostCode, [Mail List].Phone, [Mail List].[E-Mail], [Mail List].Notes
FROM [Mail List]
WHERE ((([Mail List].Leaving)=True));
Does this mean that one would need to recreate a new Secondary Table to incorporate the additional field? I have attempted to edit the secondary table by merely adding the 'Notes' field but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Hi All.
Need union three TableA, TableB and TableC into one table called TableX? All table has same column name. TableX shouldn't has dublications.

We have an MS Access 2010 Database that uses Local Tables, External MS Access Tables, and ODBC Linked Oracle Tables (Accessed for Read Only). The unsual issue occurs with the ODBC Linked Oracle Tables.
One of the more important aspects of the project is to modify the ODBC Links to point to upgraded Oracle Database Tables. Up until today, all of the Links had been able to be remediated with a simple refresh and test.
This morning, however, it was determined that one of the Database Tables did not exist in the Schema. Instead, it was an Oracle Synonym for a Table that existed in a different Schema. We believe that we have the proper authorization for access to all of the Schemas involved, and despite this fact, MS Access was unable to link to the Table properly.
what is the difference between creating a table using SQL and creating a table using MAOL (access object library)? I ran into these 2 methods when taking a tutorial on the internet? What are the advantages of each method?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have built an Access DB containing 3 tables: dimensions, time, companies. The tables are not linked and are to be used to look up values for the new form. The goal is to create an Access form that would allow the user to select distinct values from all 3 tables, enter some own data and then execute an append query to add the record to the main table.
Something like this:
Initially I have 3 tables:
Prepopulated Dimensions table with fields:
dimension
....
Prepopulated Time table with fields:
Date
Day
Month
Year
Prepopulated Companies table with fields:
Company
....
My form is to be able to select distinct values (combobox) from all three fields:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)
The record then is appended to the Main table containing:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)
Thanks a lot for your time and help!

I am creating a table that is a master list of all of my company's product. Each "customer" that we have will always be ordering the same items, but not all of the items that we have available. I need a way to go through the master list and click a yes or no and have that item added to the "customer's list of items on a new table.
I need to create a sublist for each "customer" like individual shopping cats for each customer. These individual lists need to link back to the master list in case of product changes, description changes, and cost changes.
I would like to create a form where the end user can type in a product number, description, or manufacturer number and have that item added to the "customer's" list.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was asked to create a table within an existing database using these SQL commands;
CREATE TABLE Vehicle (reg_no TEXT(10)
CONSTRAINT VehicleKey PRIMARY KEY,
type TEXT(10),
purchase_date DATETIME,
last_service_date DATETIME, mileage_at_last_service INTEGER);
I was told to save the query and check the new table had the required records in it.
I had huge problems when I tried to save the query and kept getting error messages like: "query must have at least one destination field" and "syntax error in field destination". This was strange since I was sure I typed the query exactly as it had been written on the worksheet.
Having not changed the SQL command at all it eventually worked when I skipped the 'save query" stage and just went to the "run query" stage. I still don't know why it actually worked in the end and why I kept getting error messages.By running the query am I supposed to just click on "RUN" or can I check the information first by looking at datasheet view?
I have a Client database table in Access. I now need to add a simple order table (related) to the client table. I have a client ID field set to autonumber in the client table. As I start to create the orders table I'm not sure how to link the two so that I'm not entering data twice and have assurance that they are tied together.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy application is a series of checklists, represented each by a table. They all have a common "Job ID" which is entered by the user in the first form/table. This "Job ID" is a common value with all other tables.
What I want, is that the user doesn't have to enter the "Job ID" every in every form. I just want him to enter it once in the first menu, and then it's copied automatically to all the other tables (creating a new record in each table).

Hey everyone,
Is there any way that you can do a secondary sort on a field?
Any help would be of great!
Thanks - edawson
The main form (frmMain) is fed by qryMain. I'd like to put a memo field on a separate form (frmMemoField) to avoid cluttering the main form.
Is there a way to ensure that frmMemoField offers the same record currently displayed on frmMain, please, Experts?

I have a problem concerning how to display records dependant or depending on the current record.
Basically I have a seperate area within the db that gives you the option to set which record(s) depends on or dependant to another record(s) as primary and secondary
When trying to display this info, it is fine for a direct primary - secondary within my listbox, but the complication occurs when the secondary record could also be a primary record of another record (if that makes sense).
for example. The data is as such,
PrimaryID SecondaryID
10 12
12 13
15 10
So from this data, my list box should show 1 record that this record depends on (15) , and in another list box 2 records than depend on this record (12,13)
I'm wondering if some kind of loop code would do the trick but not sure what angle to attack this at.
I would appreciate it if anyone knows a simple solution to this.
Thanks
Kempes.
Hi
I have a main table in my database. For each record in this table there may exist 0, 1 or many records linked to it in a secondary table.
I have created a form for viewing the records in the main table, and now want to link to a second form that displays the records in the secondary table, if indeed any exist for the main record being displayed on form1.
Specifically . .
If I can detect whether secondary records exist for each record in the first, how can I pass a parameter (ie Table1id) to the secondary form so that we can view only the secondary records associated with the main record selected ?
thanks

Hello
I have this problem. I've made a table called "producers" and a main form based on this table. I've also made a table called "orders", with several data regarding orders, and a secondary table based on the "orders" table. These tables are linked. So these forms show the orders made by each producers. Now , I try to add the "price" field of each record of the secondary form and then show the result in a text box in the main form, so that I can have a total price amound for each producer.I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. Is this so difficult to achieve? Pls help. Thank you in advance!
Hello
I have a form that is bound to a table called "date". Date has to fields "date_id" which is a numeric value and "date_description" which is the name of the month.
A secondary form is bound to a table called "Employees" which has fields regarding data about the emploees of a company (eg "surname", name" etc). I use these 2 formes together to select the month of year and show/edit the data of the employees. Everything work perfectly except one last thing. Is it possible that after I edit (or add) a record in the secondary form (table "employees") the secondaty form to be sorted by "surname"? How can I do such a thing? I would be grateful if you give me an example.
Thank you in advance
Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?
I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.
Hi
I have three figures to display in a chart.
The Total Ongoing Calls
The Ongoing Calls in Area 1
The Ongoing Calls in Area 2
Ideally the Total Ongoing Calls should equal the other two but this is never the case due to calls in wrongs areas etc. To display this I have the Total Ongoing Calls shown as an Area Chart on the Primary Axis with the other two figures shown as a Stacked Area Chart on the Secondary Axis.
This way if I manually fix the Primary and Secondary Axis Scale to the same then I can see at a glance the total in both areas and the discrepancy from the Total. Great.
The issue is that the Primary Axis will almost always be slightly higher than the Secondary Axis which means that whenever the Scale changes I would have to manually change the other Axis. Is there any way, programaticallly or otherwise, that I can link the two Axis together so that if one changes up or down the other changes with it.
Thanking everyone I am about to confuse in advance.
