Tables :: Relationships - Link UserID To Each Line Automatically
May 1, 2013
One table contains UserID and information related to the user. Another table has been created and will be populated by a form. Basically the form asks approx 65 questions and I need the answers (for each question) to populate the table, so 65 records of data.
From everything I have read, for me to be able to pull all of the answers linked to the UserID (the person answering the questions), the UserID has to be in the table with each record. How do I link the UserID to each line automatically. To give you a bigger picture, I will have 5 users going into the database daily to answer the questions and I will need to link the user ID to each of the answers selected by each user. Over time, there will be thousands of records and I need to pull stats by UserID.
How do I create the form so that the answers to each question creates 65 separate records. Do I have to create a save button after each question?
Is there a way to just select like through a find dialog box, the location of a databases backend location and just automatically create all the links for the link tables...
The reason Im asking, is my boss wants the database to be on his laptop in the event that the network is down, and also so that he can work away from the company's location but I was showing him the implications of having it installed locally on his machine should his laptop go down....
So now I'm wondering if i could
1. do some automation that allows him to just choose the location of the databases backend that he would be working from, be it on the network or on his machine
and
2. using both backends to update or overwrite each other depending on which he was working from or did updates to..
Really would love all the help and input I can get on this... Im willing to work on developing a sample for this if nothing is exactly already out there so that it can be reposted cause i think this would be very useful to everyone's database applications.
i have a form frmCreditNote with a subform sfrmCreditNote. They are linked by a creditNoteNumber. As soon as i pick a customer in the main form, i want the first line of the subform to have that customer name as well. If I change the customer name in the main form, I need the first line of the subform to correspondingly change as well. If the form was new, i would open a recordset and use .AddNew to put in the new first line date If I was updating the form customer name, then I would need a .Edit to change the first line of the subform. My question is : how do I determine if the subform is empty? Is it a command likeIf subform.HasData, orIf IsNull(?)Please let me know thanks
I have a textbox on continues form which contains multiple lines and I d like to set it up so it ll be scrolled down completely when it displays the form. I ve already found a few so called solutions but nothing worked for me.
Click on someone's post. In the upper right, click on the wee little green box directly under Posts:We then see [UserID] & " is on a distinguished road", e.g."Stumpy is on a distinguished road"What do you suppose that's about?Bob
Situation: I pay all of my recurring bills (mortgage, insurance, utilities, medical, credit cards, etc..) via internet accounts. A dubious decision on my part which was driven home when my ISP (the only game in town out here in the woods)...reassigned their remote servers without informing their help desk, and failed to calibrate the new settings to equal the previous settings. Result: I was without DSL access for six to eight weeks while the help desk folks repeatedly referred to their documentation and instructed me in establishing a new connection, which was an absolutely worthless effort. Why, do you ask, did you not request for a technician to be sent to yiour site? Cause, they (the help folks people) apparently receive bonuses for blocking on-site service calls.
Having said that, my 14 – 17 accounts have varying UserID/Password creation and input criteria. It’s quite easy to assign an HTML field which, when clicked, takes the user to the initial site. In some situations, I’m allowed to click a “Fill And Submit” button, which brings up and submits previously saved criteria.
In other cases, the user is required to submit both UserID and Password, and God help you if the information is case sensitive and you screw it up.
Bottom line: The UserID/Password has been captured for each and saved in a separate database. It’s thus possible—but a real pain—to refer back in each instance to ensure the correct data is being submitted. A Google on “Automate Password” shows that this problem has been previously addressed, but not in an Access environment.
My Question: Have any of you run into this, and is there an Access-related solution?
I have a query (used in a combox) with a field called "UserID" and in the query I would like to have the UserID field get it's criteria from the "User" field on a hidden form.
I have it for the most part however, I have two users (myself and another) that when we use the combo box we se "All" the records in the query. I was thinking something like:
1. Display userid and user name on the form, how can i do it. 2. When i am adding record, user should not be able to go back to previous record. 3. A form should open automatically when i open my application.
I have a form that several different people use. I would like to capture who created or modified the record. I don't need any fancy security such as a password. I just simply want the user to select their name from a combobox and then any records that they create or modify is saved in the records table. I would like this name to be the active name for all records worked on untill another person logs on. In other words, I don't want them to need to select their name for each and every record they work on.
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?
I have 5 tables and 2 forms. The primary form is what I input all the information into (Tracking) and the other form is to update employee information (update form).
The "Tracking" form is where I add information to 4 of the 5 tables. Here is where I'm stumbling. Would it be more practical to just have 1 table and just expand the fields, or have the form put the information into the separate tables. Those 4 tables are Employee, phone, spotter and radio.
I'm wanting to keep a running tally of who doesn't turn in what equipment on what day.
I am converting / developing a database that stores information pertaining to individual birds and their recaptures over many years. Here is a condensed version of the many tables in this database:
tblIndividual Bird: Autonumber (Primary Key) Band Number - also, unique to the individual bird Sex - M or F etc ..
tblCaptureInformation: Autonumber (Primary Key) Band Number - look-up from tblIndividualBird (using hidden Primary Key) Capture #- # which indicates what capture this is (ex. Intial capture - 1) Place Age Date etc ...
Each time a bird is captured, we record information pertaining to TIME, MEASUREMENTS, and NEST INFO. So, I have seperated the data based on these headings and made them into individual tables.
Now, my problem .... I have already created a relationship between CaptureInformation and Individual Bird. However, in the last 3 tables I would like to create a drop-down menu which shows the Band Number and Capture Number and make relationships there. What is the easiest way to do this? As of now, when I make a look-up field in the last 3 databases to show this info, the Band Number comes up with the Autonumber (because I am using the CaptureInfo table) which does not really help someone entering the data. Thanks for your help.
I am trying to create a db for service orders for customers. At the moment I have four tables, customer, service_order, parts and totals.
I have one form for customer records that has a button that when clicked opens another form for that customer's service orders. The service order form has two subforms, one for parts and one for totals.
When I try to add a new service order for my test customer it says "you cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in the table 'customer'.
As you can see here (http://www.abstractmusic.org/relationships.gif) I have three relationships setup. cust_no in customer table is a PK and so is service_order_no in service_order table.
Also I am having problems with the totals, as the fields are from different tables the equations won't work from within the subform (I guess I need some kind of query). I need the totals in a seperate table other wise I have a total for every part entry.
I am trying to set up a database to detail dances published in a magazine over the years.
I currently have all the information in an Excel Spreadsheet but know that Access would be better.
The columns in my spreadsheet are:
Dance Choreographer(s) Level Count Date Published Song 1 Artist 1 Count In 1 Song 2 Artist 2 Count In 2 Song 3 Artist 3 Count In 3 Song 4 Artist 4 Count In 4 Song 5 Artist 5 Count In 5 Song 6 Artist 6 Count In 6 Song 7 Artist 7 Count In 7
There can be two or more dances with the same name The same choreographer(s) could have written more than one dance The same count can be used for many dances About 15 dances are published on the same date One artist can have more than one song used One song can have more than one artist singing it One song and relevant artist can be used for more than one dance
I tried using Access For Dummies but it has confused me even more. I cannot work out what tables there should be and what relationships.
Not all dances have 7 songs for it - some have 1, some 2, some 3, etc.
What is listed as song 4 for one dance could be song 1 for another or song 5, etc.
I'm a novice and I'm confused. Maybe it's the way I think. I feel like there is an easier way that I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to get a satisfactory solution.How would YOU create your tables/relationships if you had the following:* The general purpose is to manage orders* You have to store information about the order (like order number, date)* You have to store information about from what company the order is from (like address)* You have to store information about from which department of that company the order comes from, each department has their own information that needs to be stored (like contact person).Keep in mind that you don't want to memorize which department is from which company nor do you want to be able to make the mistake of entering an order from a department that is not a part of that company.It seems like it should be an easy thing to do, but I'm stumped. I've thought about creating a new table for every company with a sub table for every department but that doesn't seem very practical. I tried creating one table called Company and one called Department, then merging them on a third table which is then linked to a fourth table called Orders. I'm not convinced this is the best way to do it, but it's my best guess at this moment.All help is greatly appreciated.
i know tecnically you can create a table with no relationships but is it "ok" to do so?
im using a table to store some values which are only referenced through a query but it is completly detatched and has no relationships with any other tables, im awear my database will function perfectlly happily but is it an acceptable programming standard?
I am creating a database of medieval labor contracts and have come across an issue.
I have a table of Contracts, and a second table of People. I want the table of People to show every contract in which that person appears. Each contract has multiple roles - there is always at least a Laborer and an Employer.
The same person might appear as a laborer in one contract, and an employer in a second contract and I want my People table to pull every contract in which that person appears, regardless of the role they play in the contract.
So far I have not been able to get this to work. I set up two different one-to-many relationships which link the People table primary key (personID) to two separate columns in the contract table. However, in the People table, instead of pulling contracts in which the person appears as either Laborer or Employer, it will only pull contracts in which the person appears as both Laborer AND employer (a situation which will never occur in my actual data but which I tried out as a test).
I have one database called asset management. It consists of one main table called cyber assets. Most fields in this table are linked to a manually created lookup table inorder to restrict user input. There are also two additional, none lookup, tables used to list a) the IP addresses (there can be more than one) and b) another similar 1 to many type table. Basically this DB is used to manage basic cyber asset data, excluding most items related to configuration management.
So, this above DB serves the purposes of asset management. Now I essentially need a similar DB for Patch Management. What I've done for this is to assess each patch initially (i.e. just by looking at the patch title and determining if we even have any of those device. i.e. this assessment is not based on OS, model number... just a general 'may' or 'may not' be applicable). Here's what this SEPARATE DB looked like:
Since each patch is essentially assessed against itself, or maybe a better way to describe it is against the users memory of what we do and don't have, only a single table and form was needed.
So now we've been thru this process and the DB is filled, all initial assessments are complete. The next step is to take all the ones that are applicable to our company (based on the initial assessment when you answer, yes is applicable) and do assessments based on each device we have.So what I want to do is to link the two DBs on a new table called Patches_by_device, inside the original patching DB... so the relationships would look like this:
But as you can see, the linked table CYBER_ASSETS has some sort of undefined relationship type, which is causing my issues.So the next thing I did was to autocreate a form based on the Patches_by_device table, and here's the result.I need to change the patch_key to the Patch_ID+Patch description+URL, etc, and to change the device key to the the UNID+IP+functional description, etc...so I changed the form record source like this:
Now I should be able to change the control source of the Patch_key and Device_key to more useful information. so I changed: Patch_key control source to Patch_ID and Device_key control source to UNID (which is in the cyber assets table)
As you can see, it worked for the patch_ID but not the UNID which is part of the linked table.Must it be within one DB, because we have a ton of other modules to implement (e.g. config management, vulnerability assessments, audit stuff, and more...) and I'd like all these to be in individual DBs, all liked back to the main cyber_assets/Asset management DB.I've considered just modifying that patch table so that each device has its own column heading in the table, but this will cause issues when new devices are added.
I want to build a Financial Database. We are provided a certain amount of budget under different heads each year. Every month we spend some money from some or all heads. Then we provide a detail of expenditure during the month under each head and the balance thereof. My request is how many tables I need in my database. My opinion is 5 tables each for Years, Months, Heads of Expenditure,Budget Allotted, and Expenditure.
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.
I have a main form with 3 sub forms. The main form is tied to a table called QUOTES_MASTER. The first sub form is tied to a table called QUOTE_ LINE_ ITEMS_DIRTGLUE. It calculates the subtotal when selecting items. The relationship is one-to-many linked on QUOTE_ID.
The second sub form adds up total of all line items and is not tied to a table.The third sub form adds ESTIMATED FREIGHT to the PRODUCT TOTAL and is not tied to a table. how to get the values from the line items form inserted into the QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE table as they are added.
I also want to insert the total value from ESTIMATED DELIVERED into the LINE_TOTALS field in the table QUOTES_MASTER.I tried this code on the product total sub form but it doesn't do anything and there are no errors:
Private Sub PROD_SUB_AfterUpdate() DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE SET QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE.SUBTOTAL = Me.PROD_SUB WHERE QUOTES_MASTER.QUOTE_ID = " & Me.QUOTE_ID
I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG) Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer
