Tables :: Lookup Value Lists In Table Fields?
May 16, 2013I know experienced DB developers say never to use a lookup in a table for a foreign key and instead to use it on the form level. For this reason, I am going through my tables and removing lookups from the table level now.
But how do y'all feel about lookup value lists? (so the list is typed-in instead of looking up a table value)
If you think they shouldn't be used then what should I do instead? Should I make a table for the handful of values and link with a FK field?
Or is there a better way? I would rather not have to make a million tables for these short, stable value lists.
Tables :: Sum All Fields In Tables Column And Put Sum Result Into Variable?
May 29, 2015i would like to sum all the column fields in a tables column where an id is the same as the id in that table.
I know you can use the SUM function in the select statement of your query.
But how can i set this sum result into a variable, so i can use it for calculation further on in the program?

Tables :: Column For Every Row In Another Table?
Feb 19, 2014I have 2 tables:
Trainers
-> Name
-> Date of Birth
-> Address
etc etc.
Courses
-> Name of Course
-> Course approval expiry date
-> Type
etc. etc.
I now need to make a table whereby I can have the list of trainers and tick the courses that they are allowed to teach in each column.
I can forsee the columns are being:
-> Trainer
-> Course 1, course 2, course 3, course 4 etc etc.
The problem is that courses can be added/changed/deleted.

Jan 23, 2008Hello,
I have a main form where the user can click on a button that opens another form. In this form, the user can make selections from one listbox and they are copied to another listbox.
How can I save the contents of the listbox into a field that is part of the record on the main form? Can this be done?
I have a listbox on the main form where the selected items will be displayed and each record of the main form will have different values for the listbox.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Drop Down Lists
Apr 20, 2006I am building a query for a university and the table i am working from has a column with every course run by the department.
How do i create a query that allows me to add a drop-down menu to the course instead of having to write out the course name everytime i want to query the number of pupils on a particular course.
Lists Of Names
Sep 2, 2006Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have two queries which are both similar. They consist of a list of names with a ‘count’ function to see how many times that the name occurs. Some of the names in the two lists are identical and some are different.
I am looking to create a query (or smoothing) that takes the two sets of numbers, matches them by the name (NameID). If the name does not exist in one of the lists then put a 0 (see example below). Once I have this I then want to create a stacked bar graph to show the results.
Example:
Smith, Iain23 7
Bowman, Dan12 2
Rixon, Simon06
Cooper, Lee10
Jones, Andy21
I am very new to MS Access so please make any explanation descriptive.
Any help with is will be very grateful.

Combo Box Lists Everything
Jul 21, 2005Ok! So I've binned the pivot table and gone for a continuos form option that allows the double click event that I'm after. A new problem has appeared.
On my main form I have 3 combo boxes (programme, product & company). When I click on any of the combo boxes i get a list of everything in the column it relates to. That works fine but it looks very cluttered. I'd like to have everything listed once only so that when i click on a programme it will filter the subform to show only companies working that programme.
Hopefully this little thingy I've put below will explain it a bit clearer
At the moment the programme combo box is displaying....
AAA
AAA
CCC
BBB
CCC
AAA
BBB
but i'd like it to display like this....
AAA
BBB
CCC
Every programme listed once only.
Any idea's folk's??? :confused:
Combo Box Lists
Aug 5, 2006I havea combo box on a form which looks up values from another table. The table containing the values which are looked up has another field where the data type is Yes/No. I want to limit the options in the combo box to just those which are set to Yes in the source table.
I know I need to use WHERE in the code for the combo box, but cannot find the correct syntax.
Please help!
Thanks,

E-mail Lists
Apr 4, 2006Hi, help please!
I have an access database with one column containing e-mail addresses.
How can I use them to easily send out multiple emails from this database?
If I copy and paste, the whole columns/cells are copied, but to copy them individually is clearly very time consuming.
All I need to do is somehow get them to a format that I can paste them into my e-mail address box.
Am I being thick or is this option not available?

Help Please.. How To Update One Column In Many Tables From One Form
Jul 26, 2007I was just assigned this database task couple weeeks ago, I know VERY LITTLE. I have all my tables and forms set up. My company builds custom cars....very few per year. I have dozens of tables for all the different componetns of the car....and each table has the same column "Unit" in it. I have a form that when a new car is began being built, the the first thing it does is ask the user to type in the Unit for the new car, but that only puts it in the one table i referenced when creating this form. I want/need this Unit information to be placed in every single table (20+) that has the column "Unit" in it. How can i do this, any information is greatly helped.....im getting so frusturated, i feel like i've learned a lot in the past 2 weeks since starting but i stil really know hardly anything.

Nov 20, 2014I have 2 Table that I will like to search in. I want to be able to search on a date and get the “ID” and the name of the column the date was found. Is that possible? I am thinking some kind of a Search-box, that will give a table/report.
The names of the tables are “2_PT_datoer” and “2_PT_CG_datoer”
In the first I want to search in the columns: “2U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “2U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, ““4U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “4U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “8U_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”, “6M_PT-O_rykker_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)”.
In “2_PT_CG_datoer” I want to search in the columns: “Tjek_at_blodprove_er_taget_1(udfyldes_automatisk) ”, ”2U_CG-O_sendes(udfyldes_automatisk)” etc.

Tables :: Column Width In Table
Aug 19, 2015One of the Tables in my membership database is named [WaitList] and has a linked Form.
The Form is configured to pull data from another Table named [Groups]. The fields are [Group ID], [Group name] and [Leader].plus others from a second Table.
When the [Group name] is selected from a Form Combo Box it succesfully records the [Group ID] in the Form and Table, but repeats the [Group ID] in the [Group Name] column of the Table. I am convinced that the problem lies with the Column Width setting on the Property Sheet which is currently set at 0;2.54, but trying various combinations has not solved the problem.
The Row Source for the [Group Name] field is
; SELECT [Groups].[Group ID], [Groups].[Group Name], [Groups].[Leader] from [Groups] and the Column Count is set at 1 (2nd in Table)
I believe the [Leader] field is a different problem in that the Form correctly finds the ID and the Name but not the Leader. I have checked the property sheet for anomalies, but without success.
I have built this type of Table/Form relationship many times but have failed on this occasion.

View 14 Replies View RelatedTables :: Populate A Column Automatically
May 21, 2015I made a bunch of tables by importing them from excel. Then I had someone ask me a question regarding a specific instrument. My tables have a bunch of parts and id's but I don't have the instrument associated with a specific part in the table.
Is it possible to add the data into the new column automatically using a query. I tried the append query, but I'm either doing it wrong or it won't do what I'd like it to do. I just want every record within that table to have the same instrument in an instrumentId column.
Creating Call Lists
Nov 15, 2006I am trying to create call lists which will compile one-to-many relationships.
For example, suppose I have 1000 employee records with the following fields:
Manager's Name
Manager's Phone Number
Direct Report's Name
Direct Report's Phone Number
Each Direct Report has only one designated manager, but managers may have more than one direct report. Further, for roughly half of the records, the manager and the direct report are the same person (independent workers).
When I run the report, I want it to print the Managers' information, and have the Direct Report information below. I have added an IIf query stating that if the Manager's Name is the Same as the Direct Report's name, leave all of those cells blank. When I create a report, however, the labels for Direct Report will still show but the data does not. It looks somewhat shoddy.

I am putting togther an venue database - with all the usual fields: Name, Address, Capacity etc... of which i have set up YES/NO, Free Text and Number fields. No problem!

The choices are:

Now, some venues may be suitable for SEVERAL of these uses - so how do i select multiple uses from this list as opposed to just one?
Many thanks in advance for your help - im learning fast! :rolleyes:

Cascading Lists On A Form?
Feb 6, 2006Hello all,
I’m building a database for my studies and have hit a major snag with the final form build/design. The db is for a mug ordering system. The mugs are defined by…
The supplier – The Category – The Type – The Style
(whereby The Style is the final name for a mug).
The relationships have been designed as per the first attachment.
(see first screengrab)
Before I go on, do these relationships look realistic?
What I want for the final form to provide is 3 option boxes on the left, which would have to be setup as cascading fields. So when a Category name was chosen, it would then list the relevant Types in the next option box, and when the Type was chosen, the relevant Styles would be listed in the Style box. When the customer had chosen the final mug style, I would then assign a macro to copy the details to an adjacent form which would include customer details and final purchase cost.
(See attached second screengrab)
Can anyone please shed some light on this, particularly the cascading field’s option, as I am at my wits end trying to solve this?
I have looked at the help file “Cascadinglistsdemo” to no avail.
Cheers
SR
