Tables :: Limit Combo Box Results Based On Secondary Table
Dec 4, 2013
I 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 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.
I have a form that users can input data into and based on that data it runs a query and generates a report. These reports can be different based on user entered data on the form. My issue is within the report I would like to sum certain fields. The problem with trying to sum theses fields is that they show up on each row so I have hidden duplicates but when trying to sum the field it still trys to count the hidden duplicates thus giving a value that is of no use.
I have tried many methods to sum but one of the problems I continue to run into when I create a text box and build an equation and reference the field I would like to sum is when the report runs it is asking for a value to be entered for the field I am attempting to sum. I shouldn't need to enter a value as I am trying to obtain the value.
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10 1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
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):
I am designing a database for a marketing company. One of my tables has all of the company's contacts. On the contacts form, I have a button that opens up a query that shows the information for the company that contact works for. I have a problem where if I have more than one contact per company, it will return that many results (which is just a repeated list of the same company information). It is an eyesore to look at the same information in two or more rows, so I was wondering, can I make the query return only one result? I've been looking online, and I haven't found this at all. Thanks a lot.
I'm currently trying to create a KPI report (Key Performance Indicator) to log jobs & their response times
I can easily produce a query that gathers all the information needed but I need to find a way to limit the results to 1 record per job as one job can have many records - Primary key being the TaskID field
I need a way to only pick out the oldest record & ignore the rest
For example
A priority 1 job that was logged at 01/05/2008 08:00 that needs to be responded to within 2 hours
Two engineers have carried out the work & logged the following details
1st Engineer responded at 01/05/2008 09:00 and the other returned later to complete the job at 01/05/2008 13:45
I need the query to only pick out the entry for 01/05/2008 09:00 as it's the oldest.
Any suggestions would be most welcome
this is what my query looks like at the moment.
SELECT tblTasks.TaskID, tblTasks.DateReported, DateAdd("h",DLookUp("[ResponceTime]","[tblPriorities]","[tblPriorities]![PrID]=" & [PrID]),[DateReported]) AS DueBY, tblTaskTime.TTStarted AS DateStarted, tblPriorities.Priority, tblPriorities.ResponceTime, [DateStarted]-[DateReported] AS Responded FROM tblBuildings INNER JOIN (tblContracts INNER JOIN (tblPriorities INNER JOIN (tblTasks INNER JOIN tblTaskTime ON tblTasks.TaskID = tblTaskTime.TTLINKTask) ON tblPriorities.PrID = tblTasks.TaskPriority) ON tblContracts.ContID = tblTasks.ContractNo) ON tblBuildings.ProID = tblTasks.BuildingID WHERE (((tblPriorities.Priority) Not Like "P8*" And (tblPriorities.Priority) Not Like "P5*" And (tblPriorities.Priority) Not Like "P3*" And (tblPriorities.Priority) Not Like "P6*")) ORDER BY tblTaskTime.TTStarted;
I have a query that checks an expiration date field and displays the word "Expired" in another field if applicable. This query is used to look up items, then the user would enter whether or not it is approved right in the resulting data grid thereby entering that approval into the table being used for the query. Can I do something with the query so that if the item returned has expired, a user would not be able to enter anything into the approval field? Something like, if field1 = "expired" then lock the table? I can't use a form, I have to just do it in the basic query or forget it. I would very much appreciate any suggestions!
I have an unbound form with a subform which is bound to a query. The subform prioritizes and individually lists all projects my company has on its agenda and the project’s corresponding cost. Is it possible to enter a dollar figure (which would represent our budget) on the main form and have the subform list only the top prioritized projects whose running total costs would fit within the budget figure stated? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t even know if this is possible. Thanks.
I am querying a linked ODBC table with a date column called "db_created_tms" that has dates in formatted like "2/25/2004 8:54:02 PM" , because it is a linked table I can't edit the data type. How can I limit my query results to the last 30 days.
My query without the date limit currently looks like this:
SELECT QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line.doc_num_h AS po, QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line.quantity_qnty AS qty, QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_item.name AS REFERENCE, QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line.unit_price_amt AS cost, QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_vendorODBC.name AS vendor, "" AS LOCATION FROM (QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line INNER JOIN QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_item ON QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line.item_id = QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_item.id) INNER JOIN QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_vendorODBC ON QBReportAdminGroup_v_txn_po_line.vendor_id = QBReportAdminGroup_v_lst_vendorODBC.id;
I have an Access database with several tables and a multitude of subforms which are displayed on a single master form. The subforms are used to facilitate data entry. In several of the tables there are fields which are related and I would like to have some of these fields updated based on the results entered in the related field (i.e. the answer for one field depends on the other). Field 1Field 2 [facing][DISC_CODE] un3 up1 dn2
Field 1 is a simply a description of the basic dataset. This field is already set-up on form as a combo box that allows the user to choose one of three options. Field 2 is a code number used by another piece of software to identify a particular symbol. It is a new field being added to the database. There are 200 codes that identify a wide range of symbols for different types of data and I don’t want to have to look them up when I, or my assistants, are doing data entry.
My question is this; is there anyway to have the DISC_CODE value, Field 2, automatically entered in the table when the value for Field 1 is selected in the combo box on the form?
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.
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.
Essentially I have a table for rooms around my school and what the rooms contain. Most of the details for the rooms are Boolean (e.g. If the room has a projector, Yes/No). So what im trying to do is have a form where i can select a checkbox(s) and if i tick one, a query that holds all the room details will only show rooms with projectors in them, which i can then display those results in another form.
My question is how do I get the check boxes in the form to narrow down the room results to only show the ones with the criteria i have selected in the form?
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'.
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.
I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code: SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU FROM Calls GROUP BY Calls.SKU HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null)) ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
I basically have General Date field (e.g. 10/1/2014 6:34:11 PM) and I want to limit the results to only a specific month and only to show reuslts after 6PM. I tried everything and still stuck.
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.
I have two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.
In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
I've attached a zip version of my database (which is still in the early stages of development) as I think it will be tricky to explain what I need. I've studied lots of other threads but can't find the answer I'm looking for.
Basically I have a form "Goods-in" which has a subform in continuous view that lets you pick from a product list. I'm trying to limit this combo to products that relate to this supplier only, but (it seems) because the subform is based on a query I can't update it.
I have tried several approaches but got nowehere. At this stage I don't know whether the problem is with - how I'm linking the parent and child forms - the SQL of the combo recordsource - my relationships - my overall design - the weather! - etc.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could take a look and advise me. The items shaded grey on the forms are just my shorthand for what will be invisible in the final version.
I'm going home now and even though I may read replies tonight, I wont be back in the office until 9am.
I have a combo box that worked fine. Now it will not show any records after the 65530th record. I can remove a record and it will show the next one down so it appears to be a setting that controls the nuber of records shown. Any suggestions on how to show all the records would be great.
