I'm working on recreating my church's records in access and was originally wanting to take people from the Visitors table and automatically move the to the Members Table (and same with Deceased & Moved), but after some searching found that's not really do able. So now my question is, can I have a master table that has everybody (visitors/members/deceased/moved) and then split that into different tables while keeping the main table (that way I can go into the main table and reassign the person)?
I have a database with 7 related tables. Now the main table is called STUDENT. I am essentially creating a report card system and have broken down each part of the report into another table. Now to make it easy for teachers I have created a form which they can search for a class and in a datasheet all the students plus their ID numbers come up along with the spaces for them to enter their grades etc.
The problem I have is this. How can I get access to look for any updates from the STUDENT table and apply this to the other tables as it would not do this automatically, even though they are linked one-many I have copied the data from the main STUDENT table into each other table just so theres a reference for a teacher. Is there any magic button or something that I can make to do this so all extra student names and IDs are added to all other tables?
I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?
I was wondering if it was possible to have a master table where say 10 of my regulatory tables and their data once inputted from the forms will appear there? Is this possible? Because right now, each of my regulatory tables has a form where the data is inputted and appears within said table.
All these tables are separate, obviously. I want to consolidate all the information into one spot, is this a possibility within access?
I am using Access 2007 and have inherited a database. It has linked tables of Excel spreadsheets that are information extracted from our main system. The user wants developing a much faster and customized approach to billing the customer based on payroll related information.
There is a table of payroll billing transactions and it has the following record lay-out,
job_num, employee number, employee name, union group, rank, regular hours, overtime hours, other hours, trans_date, seq_num
On December 1st John Doe worked 8.0 regular hours as a pipefitter foreman on job number 6430 and this is record (sequence) number 254333.
There is another table that defines the union group. I am not concerned with this information at this time. The seq_num is a sequentially and uniquely assigned number given to each billing record in the main system.
There is also a Rate Master table and it has the following record layout,
job_num, union group, rank, regular_billing_rate, overtime_billing_rate, other_billing_rate
I am struggling as to how to relate these two tables so that I can develop some queries from it.
I have a database with two tables. tbl_job_information contains all the contracts info etc. tbl_data contains all the relevant work data. The first table is restricted to certain personnel, whereas anyone has access to the second table. Both tables have a column called 'job no', in the first table it is a primary key, in the second just a field. I would like to make it impossible in the second table to change the data in the 'job no' column to anything that is not in the same column in the first table. It this possible within the tables themselves, or would I have to do it via coding and forms?
So i split my database into a front and back end, now i wanted to add a table to the database. I created the table in the backend but im not sure how to make it appear in the front end. Im using access 2010. I tried the link table manager but the table i created dosent appear there.
I have got problem with ms access report. I want to make a report which is based on
1) first master table 2) first slave table 3) second slave table
I have done some research and decided to do some form with subform. So I have got the view one record from master table and many record from slave tables in one view.
But it turned out that it has become duplicate records. (the relationship are ok - it duplicate master record as many as slave records)
So: 1) how i can do ms access report from multiple tables - one master record with multiple records form slaves tables
My db is split into front-end and back-end. In the f-e's Relationships schematic, I can see the relationships as they were defined at the time when the db was split, complete with the one-to-many symbology.
I can add a new table to the b-e and set its relationship as one-to-many, enforcing referential integrity and cascading as I wish - and the schematic (in the b-e) reflects that.
In the f-e, I can then use the <Get External Data - Access Database> function to link to the new table, and I can add the new table to the relationships diagram in the f-e. I can also drag and drop to link primary and foreign keys (within the f-e), but cannot select one-to-many. I'm OK with that, as I understand that the relationship is within the b-e, and this is just a diagrammatic representation.
But I can see the one-to-many relationships between the tables which existed when the db was split, and I would like to be able to see the new table's relationships in a consistent fashion. Updating the linked tables via the Linked Table Manager does not do the trick.
Surely I don't have to split the database again in order to achieve a consistent diagram - do I ?
I have broken up by master database, table, into several tables. They all share the same ID values since they came from the master table. So each table that I split off has a unique, matching, identifier, ID, in both the master table and the new table. Plus a previous matching identifier listed immediately below.
Example: Permit the master or main table and Builder a supporting table. There are five tables that I split off and all have an identifier similar to the two listed below.
Permit->ID Permit->BLD Builder->ID Builder->BLD
All my tables have the same ID. But each table also has a identification numbers such as builder BLD, Subdivision SB and inspector INS>
Permit has the BLD, SB and INS
Builder has only one occurrence for each builder in the Permit table. As in the past it was identified by BLD number and now also ID. the use of BLD is from when I used visual dBase. The big difference here is that I have two ways to identify one is ID any other is by BLD, etc. My first thought is to identified by the BLD. I don't know why, but I guess I fear using a single "ID" to identify my various split off tables unique value or BLD.
I have a split database and need a field (Combo type) in the table to lookup values from a query in the front end. How do I do this as it doesn't see the querys because the front and back end are split?
I am putting together a database for a charity and am having some problems. At present I am working seven days a week and my time for research is so limited that I can only ask here for advice since I have neither the time nor resources to seek it out myself.
We do mail shots to various trusts and businesses to appeal for donations. At present we have two large, bloated MS Works Databases (one for Trusts and one for businesses) that contain names, addresses and so on. I have taken on the task to make our mail shoots more efficient. My vision is that the majority of time should be spent searching out new business/trusts and organising events while actually doing the mail shoots should basically be done at the touch of a button (it won't quite work like that, but previously the actual mailshots took up about 80% of the time. I want to drive that number down)
Having no Access experiance whatsoever I set about creating a Database with twelve tables, one for each month. Each month would contain a list of places that we would "hit"
I then came across a problem. When I am searching out new addresses I would have to cross reference them on 12 different tables. This struck me as being impractical but at the time of creation I didn't have the foresight to create a masterlist. Although I do have the list on my Works DB, it would be useless as time passed since no more entries would be inputted on there.
I was hoping someone could tell me how I can put together a masterlist using the data I already have and maybe if possible setup the 12 tables in such a way that by inputting an entry on one of them will automatically crossover the name of the business to the masterlist without me having to enter it twice.
I realise this may sound confusing, and if i had more time I would research the answer myself but I am stretched to the limit and know too little about this application. I did try to take on a Lyndia (sp?) course but again I just don't have the time. If you have any questions, I will check back later to answer them.
I am using Access 2002 (but my DB is in Access 2000 format - so it says)
I have recently acquired an Assistant Management position in a small restaurant and I have been given the task of creating a database of all of our Recipes with a master list of ingredients. I can easily set this up in Xcel but it is very messy and time consuming to say the least.
I would love to be able to create a master list of ingredients (1-X) With their unit of measurement (Pound, Gallon, Etc) as well as their unit price (pound of bacon= 5.00)
Now the recipes would be set up with the (ingredient-amount of ingredient-cost of amount of ingredient)
I would like to start a new recipe by opening a table, typing in a number that corresponds with an ingredient on the master table and those fields be filled in other than the amount of ingredient. Also by changing the price of an ingredient would automatically update on the recipes.
my boss wants to know how much each recipe cost as well as keep them updated when the price of ingredients change.
I'm Access 2010 newbie. I need to transfer Excel program into Access.I have a .csv file (data extracted from emails) and a Master Excel sheet. Master Excel fields are updated from the .csv - if the primary keys match, else the new records are added. Also, the .csv contains colour names, which must be translated into corresponding peoples' names.
I have database for each location. Every location will update some information in the databases and send it back to me. In those location based databases, information will be stored in one table called "consolidate_input". I will store these databases in one specific directory and then I want to accommodate the data of "consolidate_input" into one master database having the same identical table in the database.
SELECT * from mastertable INNER JOIN secondarytable ON mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield
But none of these do:
DELETE FROM mastertable INNER JOIN secondarytable ON mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INNER'.**
DELETE FROM mastertable JOIN secondarytable ON (mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield) **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'JOIN'.**
DELETE FROM mastertable WHERE (mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield) **The column prefix 'secondarytable' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.**
DELETE FROM mastertable WHERE IN (SELECT * FROM secondarytable) **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IN'.**
Can anyone help? This should be easy, shouldn't it?! Thank you.
When you open the form, it asks for a tool # (which will be a drop-down box). There will be a command button that will bring up a sub-form. In the subform, there are 2 combo boxes. One picks the group that the tool falls under, and the other has the section of the group for the tool.
When the user picks the section, I need it to filter the questions that pertain to that section (which is listed in a list table), and pull those questions, and populate the master table with them. (i.e., Pulls "where is tool?" from tblQuestions, and puts it in the tblQuestionMaster when section is selected from combobox). :confused:
I have two tables that are formatted identically....
Table1 = MasterTable Table2 = TempTable
I am taking a copy of one of the entry from the master table and Copying it to the temp table.I then open a form on the TempTable that enables the user to modify the content without affecting the information in the MasterTable.On Completion and Save I wish to take this modified content and update the MasterTable Using the Field "ID"
the tables for example look like this
ID NAME AGE DATE1 DATE2
I am guessing I need to use a
Code: DoCmd.RunSQL UPDATE "MasterTable" WHERE "TempTable"
Type of command but not to sure on the correct syntax and as everything is the same the use of wildcards for all fields
I'm having problems with an Update query. I have data coming in on one file that I am loading to a temp table that I want to update on another table in my database. The problem is that when I run my update query, it is wiping out everything that DOESN'T match. I have 5 fields that MUST be equal before the update can occur. I'm trying to update 3 fields in my "master" table.
Here is my SQL:
UPDATE NPPDcopy LEFT JOIN tempNPPD ON (NPPDcopy.Hour_Ending = tempNPPD.Hour_Ending) AND (NPPDcopy.TieLineName = tempNPPD.TieLineName) AND (NPPDcopy.AdjBalancingAuthority = tempNPPD.AdjBalancingAuthority) AND (NPPDcopy.BalancingAuthority = tempNPPD.BalancingAuthority) AND (NPPDcopy.OperatingDay = tempNPPD.OperatingDay) SET NPPDcopy.Import = [tempNPPD].[Import], NPPDcopy.Export = [tempNPPD].[Export], NPPDcopy.Net = [tempNPPD].[Net];
I have a form, a subform and a master unique table. I need the unique table to updated in the following manner: Form has certain fields that need to be assigned to every record created in the subform[id] and [info1] Subform has a unique [caseid], and contains further [info2] but needs to be bound into [id] in the main form. Example of the master unique table:
I've managed to accomplish this with a linked table&subform structure, but the master unique table looks like crap because it collapses the subform values into sub-records in the master table when the [id] is similar. The data is in the rigth place, i just want it not to be collapsed/expanded, but every unique recors shows in the table in the regular format
I have created an Access 2000 Db, and have gone through the motions of splitting the Db via the Splitting Tool. Since I have done this split, I have added forms, queries, and reports to the Front End. I have left the Back end table structures alone.
This is where my problem comes into play. To enter data into the Db, I use the forms. After splitting the Db, I assumed that the data would be stored in the tables in the BE. An issue had just presented itself and I went into the BE table structure to add a field to a couple of the tables, and when I opened the BE table in the datasheet view, I noticed that there were no records. I then became curious because when I run my reports and queries, the information is present. So I opened the FE tables and what do you know, all the data I have input since the split is housed in the FE tables.
I already attempted to Update the Table Links, but that did not solve the problem, and the data is still in the FE.
Can someone, anyone please help or offer some suggestions on how to resolve this dilemna.
I have access that is required to be accessed by multiple users and register their activities which is reflected with the tables in the background and form sends also the time that they are putting their activities.
So i split the tables and put them in a share folder in one of the PCs. however, the problem is about the timing and dates is not correct usually, and i found out some of the PCs their dates are not on sync. I asked and found out sometimes it is required to change the timing in their PCs.
Therefore, i was wondering instead of fetching the timing from their PCs why not to put the timing of share PC (i.e. timing/Date of the share PC which has the splitted tables)
so can i do like this:
User PC: (Form1) & user activity => Share PC: (Split table) & take time of the share
I have a master table with about 40 fields. In addition, I created eight child tables with read only datasheet views of limited fields from the master table. The child table views are based on certain critera in the master table and are being refreshed by using delete and append queries tied to the On Current property of a form. By double-clicking a specific child record, a form is opened to allow editing of the master record. Also, I am using Referential Integrity and Cascade Update Related Fields to update the child table when a change is made to the master. However, I do not know how to add a record to one or more child tables when a record is added to the master table. The new child record would have to be based on the same critera that the append queries use so it gets added to the correct child table or tables.
How do I know when I should split a db into multiple tables? Right now- everything is in one table. Is there a rule of thumb or method to determine when I should split it up?
For example- MY DB is running queries on properties for sale. Would I split all the Active, Sold, Expired, Off Market listings into separate tables, since I will be frequently queriing based off of the status of the property? ie- I'll be running avg prices of homes that are in each of these status. If that's the case, how do I know what relationship to give it/how to set it up (use the MLS # as the primary key in each, or do I need a foreign key or something else?)
Is there a general rule of thumb, or guide to use when designing a db?
