I've got a working database with pretty good structure etc. How I would go about creating 3 prepopulated records on a many side of a relationship on entering a new record in the one side of the relationship.
View RepliesI have a feed from ODBC to Access DB. I need to populate several new tables with the contents of the original table. I know I'm being stupid but it's been a long week.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a database which has 9 tables, the first table being the contact information, but in all tables there are fields for firstname, lastname. Is there a way when you enter the firstname/lastname fields into the main table that it can populate the same information in to the same fields in the other tables? If so how?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have the following tables:
Inquiry (This is the main table I want to populate through the use of a form)
Programs
My question refers to two columns in the Inquiry Table
Program
Group
The program column is populated by a drop down menu that is linked from a programname column in the Programs table.
I I want is the Group column in the Inquiry table to autopopulate based on the selected programname (There is a group column associated in the Programs table) so the form field will be autopopulated.
What I have tried is autopopulating the form (form name is Inquiries) Field called Group by using =[Program].[Column](1) in the source code of the text box. This works well, but it then does not populate the main table.
I need to either
- Learn how to populate the main table column called Group based on the form autopopulating
or
- Learn how to autopopulate the column Group in in the table so the form will autopopulate
I have created two tables. One table list of 100 Categories that I monitor each month. The Categories are never changing month-to month, however, each might be associated with a different client month-to-month. Presently, I am manually typing in the Client information month-to-month with information pulled from the Client's table. The Client's table has a Category Field which is populated when a Client has purchased space to use it.
In essence, I have the Category Table (Fields: Record Number; CategoryName; Client Name; beginning date the client will use the Category and Ending Date the client will stop using it). The Client's Table has a lot more fields/information but it still has the same fields as the Category Table. I am trying to be able to use the Category Table and have it automatically populate with the client who is using the Category at that time. Any Category not being used by a Client then the Query should write "Open" in the Client's name field. I have tried many different scenarios but can't seem to get it to work. I must see all 100 Categories each time I run a report. It doesn't have to say "Open" but where ever a client did not use the Category it should be left blank.
I have 2 tables tblworkdone and tbltests, both have a date field and are both subforms in a tabbed form on the main form. When I enter a date into the tbltests subform I would like the date to automatically be entered into the tblworkdone date field and create a new record so that when I move to the tblworkdone subform with the date already there.

For example I have a job parts table (ID= JOBPARTID). There is a specific part that may be replaced several times. I keep these parts on a separate table called swaps. The swaps table is purely
SWAPID (KEY)
JOBPARTID
PART
PARTDESCRIPTION
SO on file I'll have
SWAPID JOBPARTID PART PARTDESCRIPTION
001 1234 PART1 DESC1
002 4231 PART2 DESC2
003 1234 PART3 DESC3
004 1229 PART4 DESC4
005 3241 PART5 DESC5
006 1230 PART6 DESC6
007 1234 PART7 DESC7
008 3289 PART8 DESC8
For JOBPARTID I want to be able to get the first record (SWAPID =001 for PART1) and the last one (SWAPID = 007 for PART 7).
How do i go about it?
Hi, I have 7 tables in my database and 1 form corresponding to all the fields in these tables (linked by a query by recordsource). My problem is that the form will only show a record if ALL 7 tables have manually had the primary key entered (not good when i have information that needs to be added at different times). How can I make it such that if I create a new record on the form that all primary key fields will be updated, and this record will be present every time i open my the form??

I'm trying to create a table with an entry for month/day, no year. I want to create a report that can will sort the birthdays based on month in ascending order.
I'm currently using the text field to put in, "10/30" or "1/3" but when I try to order the dates, instead of "1,2,3,4,5,6..." I get "1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3.." etc.
I am creating a table for data entry. Three fields in the table are going to be Firstname, Lastname, and Address. I want the choices for data entry to be read from a master table which contains first and last names and town of residence.
That being said I would like the choice of Lastname to be all last names from the master table, and the choices of Firstname to be those from the master table but are limited to having the Lastname as entered in the previous field, finally I want the Address field to be limited to those records which match the lastname and firstname. I have been playing around with lookup queries for each of the fields to no avail.
I am new to Access in a way, and developed a small tool as a warehouse management system. the system is working great but I need to add a rule or condition to this tool.
I have Tables having warehouses locations (LOCATION1,LOCATION2, LOCATION3, etc...)
Some items (products) will be entered into a transaction table where with queries and reports, can see each item in which location it is or in a particular location what are the products stored in.
however, if there is no limitation or condition in a way or another into the access application to limit users from entering an item OUT in the transaction from a location which doesn't have this product, I need access to tell me a message or stop me from entering that transaction.
To explain more, if I have ProductA in LOCATION1, and one of the data entry guys entered a transaction in LOCATION2 for the same ProductA, access will not allow him since there is no quantity of that particular product in that LOCATION2.
How to do it? I checked in Data Validation and Validation rules, but its either hard for me to understand or am not getting how to do it?
I have created a query from two tables. One table is Job information the other is job notes. How do i populate the query with the job # and job prefix from the job information table?

Thank you!
I have two tables created. One contains only names of people, the other contains the names along with other information stored about those names. The names consist of first, middle, and last on both forms, but for some reason, I can only get the middle name onto the names only table and not onto the other table with all the other information. if you'd like to see the db I have it posted to yahoo briefcase, just send me a message for the username and pw.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHere's the scenario:
I create a temp table structure, which works fine.
I create a recordset from SQL pulling data from a DB2 connection. This works fine.
I want to put the entire recordset result into the temp table.
I have a working means of doing this, but it is very inefficient and leaves the user staring at an hourglass for a minute or two.
What I am currently doing is iterating through each record of the recordset and appending it to the temp table. Desired results, yes, but takes way too much time.
Is there any way to simply 'dump' an entire dataset into the table, instead of on a record-by-record basis?
Here's some code from how I am currently doing things:
Set cmdP1 = New ADODB.Command
Set cmdP1.ActiveConnection = cnnP1
cmdP1.CommandText = "SELECT DISTINCT distribution_id FROM " & sDB & " ORDER BY distribution_id"
Set rstP1 = cmdP1.Execute
Do Until rstP1.EOF
With rst_Temp
.AddNew
.Fields!distribution_id = rstP1!distribution_id
.Update
End With
rstP1.MoveNext
Loop
Any help will be most appreciated! Thanks!

I have two tables in my Db: tblMaster & tblAddresses. They are joined with a one-to-many relationship, with the addresses being the "one" side. Many entries in tblMaster have the same address.
I use a form, based on a query, to add records which creates the new vendor in tblMaster, and (if I have contact details), a record in tblAddresses. The problem is that while the PK is created in tblAddresses once I add the address info, the related FK field in tblMaster is not populated with that #.
I haven't used access for a long time so I am very rusty.
I have a few tables but I'll just use two for an example:
Table A
Ticket No
Part No
Defect Code
WorkCenter No
Clock No
(Ticket No is Primary Key)
Table B
Clock No
Supervisor
Employee
(Clock No is Primary Key)
Is there a way for me to create a form, that when Clock No is entered it will be placed in both tables?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to create a database which will act as a timesheet and management system.
I have several tables set up. some are:
01-Staff details containing Staff ID, Names, etc
11-Timesheets containing Timesheet ID, Staff ID, Timesheet Period ID
17-Timesheet Periods containing Timesheet Period IDs, Start Date and End Date.
13-Hours containing Hours ID, Timehseet ID, Project ID, Hours
etc.
I want to set up a Combo that lists Names from Table 01-Staff Details, and when the user selects their name, enters the Staff ID on a new row in the tabll 11-Timehseets.
I am able to create the Combo to list the names from 01-Staff Details, but am not able to get the selected name to jump into 11-Timesheets. The field is not available in the Control Source.
Could you please assist? I am not an Access expert, nor have I done any programming, so a step-by-step solution would be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks in advance
Sunil
p.s. I would then like to ensure that users can't edit data in certain tables (eg. they shouldn't be able to create a new Staff ID/name, etc)
My next task will be to create a sub-form (which I am able to do) where the user can select a project from a combo-box and enter the hours worked on it. I would like the project and hours to be entered on a new row under the table 13-Hours
I look forward to your reply!
Many thanks
i have made two tables with data from an excel sheet. The excel sheet has many duplicates and im trying to eliminate this. The tables are:
tblTasks and tblTeam. Both have autoincrementing primary keys, and the tblTasks table has the TeamID (primary key from tblTeam) as a foreign key.
My question is, how do i populate the TeamID field via perhaps a query, as it is blank on all records. I have over 5000 tasks so a manual approach is what im trying to avoid. A sample of the fields in the tables is as follows:
tblTasks
TaskID - PK
Task Name
Team ID - FK
tblTeam
TeamID - PK
Team Name
there's also a Staff table. tblTeam has a one to many relationship with the Staff table. tblTeam also has a one to many relationship with the tblTasks table.
I have an Access 2007 database with two tables (I will call them table 1 and table 2)
Both tables contain the same two fields. (I will call the FirstName and LastName)
Table 1 has an associated Form where the user enters the two names. When the value in either one of the two fields in Table 1 change I want the corresponding field in Table 2 to automatically update with the same value that were entered in Table 1. Basically I want Table 2 to automatically replicate the same data in Table 1. So if I type the text "John" into the FirstName field in Table 1 then the FirstName field in Table 2 will automatically update with the text "John"
I am new to access and am struggling with the automatic updating.
If the automatic part is too hard then I will be happy to attach the update action to a command button.
I have uploaded my database file with the two tables for reference. I want to get the fields (for all records) in table 2 to replicate table 1 so that when table 1 updates table 2 values changes to show the same text.
I need to make one database with information about torque values according to one defined table. I make 3N so I can avoid duplicating data, by my problem now is how to enter data into the related tables and save the data using a save button. I want to have control about when data is saved that is the reason because I used unbound controls to enter data and I want to use also a new button to add new records.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have created 2 tables: Client and Routing.
Each client record is unique. A client can have 'several' routing records.
Key field in Client is 'Client ID'.
Routing table has foreign key of: Client IDFK
I created a relationship of one to many from Client table 'Client ID' to Routing table 'Client IDFK'.
I created a form for the Client table and works.
Where I am having issue is: Client data is not populating into the following Routing form.
* I want a 'Routing form' that you can lookup client info and place it into that form.
* The bottom of the form will be all the routing table fields. The new routing info will be entered into it.
My client needs that form printed for the driver. Client will have many routing forms(records) but only one client record. The driver will have one completed form for each time he picks up client.
What I have is a database setup with multiple tables in which different areas of my DC can input information simultaneously into their respective tables. I then have another database linked to it for myself to have a live view of each updated record. I would like to see all the records of each table in 1 single table (possibly just sorted ascending by time). Each table has the same Field headings but may have different qtys of records. As I will then have it linked to an Excel table to VLOOKUP from it.
I have tried Union coding but always get Syntax Error etc.
I want to achieve Access data updates to two tables through the use of a single form. Fields are identical in each table. I set things up this way in order to view the whole report or a single page of the report, and to this effect I am using the two tables. Can anyone help?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I understand that this is against any database rules but I need to add data to my database concurrently in two tables.
I will use one form (frmMaster) and write my data to my main table (table1). At the same time, I need some of this data to be stored into another table (table2).
I do not want to use an append query.
Is this possible via code withough having to close the active form?
Can anyone help with with some code?
Thanks.
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.
I have an Access Table with about 28,000 Automobile dealerships across the country shown. I've joined a new/small phone contact table to this to keep up with our phone contacts with the dealership and followup efforts. When I search/filter on the dealership table all is fine. However when I search/filter on the phone contact table with a few test entries, I get nothing at all. I supposed that after joining the tables, I'd be able to do a search on the field named follow up date and find/filter today's date or other dates and locate which dealerships to contact when the correct date arrives. But nothing.
