Modules & VBA :: Populate List Box With Table Names
Jul 10, 2014I am trying to populate a ListBox with the names of the tables from another database. I have the following function which loops the table names from the database I want. The function is caleld on Form Load and passed into the ListBox but the List Box is empty.The message box in the function does display the table names when called from the form. I just cannot get the list box to populate.
Code:
Public Function ListTables()
Dim db As Database

Tables :: Possible To Have The Field Names In Table Be Set By Values In Another Table?
Jul 27, 2014Is it possible to have the field names in a table be set by the values in another table? The desire being that for a database used in various locations, the local variations could be changed in one table which would then propagate that change throughout all the forms, reports, tables etc.
View 14 Replies View RelatedTables :: Preventing Names From Being Deleted From Table
Jun 11, 2014I have an Access 10 DB that includes 299 names and other associated data relevant to these names. I have a need to drop 249 of these names that are no longer needed in the DB, and just keep the 50 names that would remain in the table.
If I am in the table is there any way to somehow "designate" or select the 50 names I want to keep and then just mass delete the other 249 in one fell swoop? If I can somehow sort the 50 names so they would appear as the first 50 names in the table, then I could simply delete all the names below.
But not sure how to make this happen. It would seem to be the simplest solution. Unless I can physically drag and drop each of the 50 names I want to keep to the top of the table, but I don't think this is possible.
Tables :: How To Alphabetize Column Names In A Table
Jul 31, 2014My employer wants me to update and revise a form with almost a hundred controls. All of the information is stored in a single table.
Is there a way that I can (easily) sort the order of columns in the table to alphabetize them? I know how to sort and filter records, is there a way to sort the columns other than the manual click and drag solution?
Note: I know that the database I'm working on for this project is not normalized. My employer isn't concerned with normalization. I've made as many corrections to the table as possible, already, but some things just won't be fixed.
Tables :: Changing Linked Table Names
Mar 3, 2015I need to update the names of my ODBC linked tables in my Access database, how can I do this without causing issues with my queries/reports?The current linked tables are to a SQL View on a database called mcsrm_live, and called e.g. vwDamagesReportNew
The new SQL views that I need to link to are identical in structure and content and on the same SQL server but different database - forkdw and are called e.g vw_R_Damages
Is there a straightforward process to do this without affecting the queries and reports in my Access db?

What Vba command will allow me to do this.
Tables :: Multiple Name IDs Link To Same Names Table
Jul 30, 2013I have a risk table containing risks and risk owners (many owners for one risk), meaning that I have two risk owners columns. What I would like to do is to connect both risk owner columns (containing the name IDs) to the Names table. But Access does not allow to connect more than 1 column to another.

Combine Multiple Tables (all Are With Unique ID Names) Into One Table?
Nov 22, 2013I have create 6 tables for library books (which are differentiated by categories). Each table has different category and unique ID name e.g. F1, F2, F3..(for table 1), G1, G2, G3..(for table 2) and so on.

Tables :: Modifying Table Structure - How To Provide Multiple Names At One Address
Jan 8, 2013I need to modify my customer table to cater for multiple names at one address.
Should I move all the addresses into their own separate table or leave them as is (name-Address-postcode- email etc in one table) and put the additional addressees into a separate table or is there a better way I have not thought of.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTables :: Populate A Field From One Table To Another
Aug 7, 2013I have a small database to keep track of some student information. Right now I have one table where a student is first entered with their contact information and then other tables that house specific information about other areas related to the student (if there's no longer with the school, paperwork is complete, etc.). The primary key for all of it is their student ID. The tables are linked parent/child with forms, etc., so that when I open a form having to deal with one of the related tables (student active status), and pull up the student's ID from the first table, it'll then populate that ID into the status table, even if something else isn't added.
What I need is really that when I create a new student on the first table with their contact information, that their ID is populated into all of the related tables, without waiting for additional information to be added. This is because I need to run reports to see who is missing information, etc., and without their ID showing up in that second table, I'm not getting accurate results. How would I set this up?
Sample of tables with smaller number of fields:
Table 1 - Contact Info (always done first for a new student)
Student ID
Name
Address
Email
Table 2 - Student Inactive Status (want the ID numbers to be the same quantity as table 1, even if Student ID is then the only completed field in this table)
Student ID
Inactive status type
Date
Table 3 - Paperwork (same issue as table 2)
Student ID
Submission Date

Modules & VBA :: Populate Combo Box With Names Of Installed Fonts On Computer
Jan 22, 2014I need to give users the ability to change the font of a field in a report. The field shows a barcode.
I thought of using the CommonDlg class to show the Windows font-selecting dialog box, but installed barcode fonts show as a barcode. I need to show the font name.
So I need to populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer.
The fonts reside in C:windowsfonts
I have searched Google for a solution but cannot find one.
How do I populate a combo box with the names of all fonts installed on a computer?
Reports :: Populate Table With Price From DLookup In Form To Total In Report
Apr 25, 2013I am working with a database that I downloaded and am trying to modify to fit my needs.
This is an inventory database. The products table contains a description and pricing. I want the description and pricing to populate in the Purchase Order form, so I added Dlookup fields in the Purchase Order form. I was happy.
However, the pricing information is not populating to my Inventory Transactions Table from the Purchase Order form by way of this Dlookup feature, and therefore will not show on my report, and in turn does not show in my Total of my Purchase Order report.
As a work around, I tried creating a calculation in the purchase order report, of =[UnitsOrdered]*[Products.UnitPrice], and the pricing totals show fine on my report, but the subtotal doesn't work.
I was unable to upload my file...so a few notes of info...
There are no queries set up in the database for this report.
I had tried a sorting grouping thing (in the Report) by Subtotal, but now can't get rid of it.
When I show the field list for the report, across the top of the window reads:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Employees.*, Products.*, [Inventory Transactions].*, [Purchase ORders].*, Suppliers.*, nz([Inventory Transact
Looks like it runs out of space
I am trying to attach a couple of images to support my comments.
Since this issue crosses both reports and forms (and tables!), I am not sure where to properly post. The end result I am looking for is on my report.
I am using Access 2003...
Tables :: Auto Populate Field In Table
Feb 15, 2015I have a table ([AllNames]) that a field ([Past_Employers]) is being auto-populated, and I don't want it to.
[Past_Employers] population is setup form a form, which references a separate table of employer names [Employers].
If I enter a new record directly in the [AllNames] table the [Past_Employers] field populates.
[Past_Employers] is a multi-value field (yes ugh - I know!!!) and is not required.
Tables :: Populate Lookup Table With Data?
Nov 22, 2013I have problems understanding lookup tables, especially how to populate them with data. I'm working on an exams database, and have many such tables...
Table for Students
Table for Subjects
and a lookuptable for studentsubjects
Table for Classes 1, 2, 3, 4
Table for Subjects Eng, Math, Geo, Chem... 11 subjects in all
and a lookuptable SubjectClasses
Having inserted data for all subjects and all classes, should I then go ahead and Insert data for SubjectClasses? There will be 44 items!
Even more appalling, studentsubjects table will have (no of students * 11) for my small school, it will be 1,760
Populate Junction Table Related To 3 Tables
Dec 8, 2013I explain , I have 5 tables :
Class ( classID , classname,... )
Student (studid , firstname, lastname , classID ,....)
Course( courseid , coursename )
Term ( termid , termname , begindate , enddate )
Score ( scoreid , studid , courseid , termid , score)
Note :
1) A class can contain one or more students (one-to-many between Class and Student tables)
The table "Score" is a junction table between three tables : Student , Course and Term because it contains three foreign keys ( I could use a combination of 3 foreign keys to make a primary key ! ) .
The tables ; "Class", "Student", " Course ", "Term " already contain data for each table I created a data entry form .
My biggest problem is how to create a form to enter students' grades or scores for each student that belong to his class.
I do not know how to do it especially since the idea is that :
On a form I would like to use ComboBox to select a class that displays student's list from class selected and a ComboBox in same form to select course and another ComboBox to select a term and then enter grades or scores for each student
This is my general idea to enter students' grades. The rules are :
A class contains one or more students
Each student takes one or more subjects.
Each student gets scores for each subject and each term(quarter)
Tables :: Get Table To Populate When User Moves Onto Next Record?
Sep 20, 2012My form has been set up to enter and display info.However, the table it goes into is not populating until the user has finished his/her session and closes the form down. We need this info to update earlier, preferably on entry, as we require certain elements to be able to populate other forms.
The MainForm displays all information and the School or Team name is entered through this form, going into the School or Ministry table.This generates an autonumber which is then used in the TeamMember table to identify team members within each team. the only way we have access to this autonumber is by shutting the mainform down and then reopening it. Which event in the property sheet do I require to get the table to populate when the user moves onto next record?

Tables :: Auto-populate By Matching Data To Another Table And Selecting Corresponding Field
Sep 16, 2013I have with my database. It's holds cost data including purchase made in foreign currencies which need to be converted to GBP using the correct exchange rate so a variety of reporting & stats can be performed.I have a table called Costs within which there are 2 fields
Purchase Currency
Exchange Rate
I also have another table called Exchange Rates 13/14 within which there are 2 fields
Currency
Exchange Rate
When a value is entered in the Purchase Currency field on the Costs table (this is a look up field linked to Exchange Rates 13/14 so it shows the listed currency in drop down) I need the database to automatically populate the Exchange Rate column in Costs i.e. match the value in the Purchase Currency field to the Currency field in Exchange Rate 13/14 and populate with corresponding Exchange Rate from Exchange Rate 13/14.I have tried the following and none work:
SQL Tried
1.
UPDATE Costs
SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rates 13/14].[Exchange Rate]
WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
2.
UPDATE
Costs
SET
ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rate]
FROM
[Exchange Rates 13/14]
INNER JOIN
[Exchange Rates 13/14]
ON
Costs.[Purchase Currency] = [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
3.
SELECT [Exchange Rate]
FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14]
WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
I know it is possible to have a drop down for Purchase Currency which shows 2 columns (both Currency and Exchange Rate) you can then use the exchange rate figure for a calculated field. The problem I have is that I am importing data into the costs table from excel. In Excel I can only have 1 value in the Purchase Currency column on the upload template. If I just have Euro in this column the database does not match it to the Euro in the Purchase Currency drop down and also store the correct exchange rate.
Or is the alternative to put this into the calculation of GBP Unit Cost where this somehow matches the Purchase Currency in the Costs table to the Currency field in Exchange Rates 13/14 tables and uses the appropriate exchange rate from Exchange Rates 13/14 to calculate GBP Unit Cost in Costs table.
Auto-populate Junction Table Based On Equal Fields In Different Tables?
Jun 24, 2014Is there an easy way to auto-populate a Junction table [in access 2010] given the following two tables with a many-to-many relationship for Tasks? The two tables are
Table 1) tblTasks (TaskID (PK), Description), and
Table 2) tblMeasures (MeasureID (PK), Description, Tasks)
If JCTN table is JCTN_Tasks_Measures (TaskID, MeasureID), is there a way to populate when tblTasks(TaskID) == tblMeasures (Tasks)?
Tables :: Auto-populate Table Field From Calculated Field In Another Table?
Jan 15, 2015I am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)
Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.
Reports :: Select Records From Report To Populate Second Report?
May 24, 2015We have a shift log that includes both personnel actions during any given day as well as operational actions. (We recently switched from a word document to an Access Database to allow multiple users to input events while another has the logbook open already (which you couldn't do with Word))
At the beginning of each day, my manager reviews the previous days log and forwards up pertinent data (some personnel, some operational) to our higher authorities. Is there a way to allow him to select which records he'd like to include on that higher-authorities report straight from the local-level report?
I'm not a fan of allowing him a "Save As" feature because that kind of defeats the data integrity purpose of an events log where he could save as an RTF and then edit any of the log entries without any checks or balances.
