I have items, but some of them have multiple names for one item. Is there any way to tell Ms access that that item has those other names? I have 5 fields, named "Model" "2nd Model Names" "3rd Model Names" "4th Model Names" and "5th Model Names."
View Replieshow to associate the request with column and rows with an existing form?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have this form that contains subforms to hold different types of infomation for different clients. At the top of the form it has the case #, first name, last name, and then a tab element in which each of 6 pages (tabs) holds subforms for other information associated with the client.
I have a table that holds only client number and name.Then each of the six subforms operate off of a table, and all the tables are connected through relationships using client number, first name, and last name.
How could I make the subforms autofill their cooresponding tables using the case #, and name fields from the main form without having to repeatedly input the client #, names for each tab/subform?
I have a list of customers in a table (tblCUSTOMERS) and a list of hundreds of items in another table (tblITEMS). The relations ship between customers and items are many to many.The form i'm using needs to have a coverage panel showing what parts are associated to the customer when updating their information. Ultimately, the data will be queried by what customers associate to specific parts.
I have an array of check boxes with the different part numbers displayed, but i don't know if or how this can be queried against.how I can go about achieving this many to many relationship.
I have a database that is tracking attendance for several 100 employees. The Db is mainly used to log any policy occurrences (no call, no show). If an associate doesn't have any occurrences for a month, then they get a point credit. Right now, I set it up so the credit can be manually added. the problem is a supervisor (the user) may not know if their associate should receive this credit unless they review their attendance report. Opening the form to add a policy occurrence, then running a report to only re-open the same attendance form is inefficient. What I'd like to have is a way to have a credit automatically added if they did not receive any points for a particular month.
ps. My office does not allow uploading any data/files so I am not able to upload a copy/sample.
I've been running into this problem in Access. I have records which have more than 255 fields. The easiest solution would have been to get a table with more than 255 fields, but I can't do this, so I've had to split up the tables. The next easiest solution would be if there is a way to link the tables--I have a data field "IntAccNum" identified as the primary key in each table--so that when a new row is formed in one, it is formed in the others. This wouldn't waste space, since any row in the first table would necessarily need a corresponding row in other tables. Is there a way to do this?
If not...
The problem I run into is when I populate a row in the demographic table and then try to fill a corresponding row in another table. I use a command button to for a macro to "OpenForm", and then try to "SetValue" of the appropriate field in the second table. This adds a new row in the second table. This does let me populate the correct row of the second table the first time I try for each row. However, after this initial population, when I switch back and forth between the first and second table, I get an error in access since obviously I can't keep adding a primary key with the same value in the second table.
Do I need to do some sort of query to see if that row exists in the second table already. Or is there some simple solution to what must be a very common situation that I am overlooking?
I've created a table utilizing certain fields that may be necessary during scenario A. However, if scenario A doesn't apply to the situation...then scenario B can come into play. The fields are the same, but can be recorded in either situation...not both. When I run a query or a report will I be catching data from either table?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a report in Access that sums the number of instances of items listed in two separate tables.
Tables:
Impact (Customer Impacted, Customer Not Impacted)

Hi just started working for a Company and I found they have tons of
databases but no structure or standard, so I would like to build a tool that will go thrue a list of databases and get all the table names, the items and type. Is there functions in vba that can get me a list of the tables in the database and the get all the items in the database ?
Thanks on any input
So I've been reviewing cascading combo boxes and I am finding some good stuff. But here is a preliminary step I need. I need to tag each record with something like what month are they assigned in, and what products. Then I need the combo box to display what that month is that they are tagged in, and then populate the second combo box. It is the second combo box that will show the record on the form. Its possible that there will be two items they are tagged with.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have an Access DB with hundres of queries and reports, now I have to use an external DB (Oracle) and export data keeping the rest, no problem with that, I have added linked tables through odbc and works fine.
My problem is that some of the tables have field names with spaces, and Oracle doesn't admit them. Does anybody knows how to solve it without having to modify all the queries, etc?, I've been thinking about aliases or views over the linked table but I haven't found a way to create these.
Any help?
Thanks
I have a db with about 30 tables. What is the easiest (if possible) to copy field names to paste it into Exel or Word? I need to distribute it to other people.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
My 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.
I 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?
I have an access database which import the .csv file but after importing it is creating the tables
"google_ImportErrors"
If i won't delete this, for next time i would open the database it will create the tables and follow the same sequence like stated below and it increase the size of the database so deletion must be required which i do manually.
"google_ImportErrors1" (table names)
"google_ImportErrors2"
"google_ImportErrors3"
"google_ImportErrors4"
I want to delete/drop all tables with a query that have the names like "google_ImportError...", how to do that in automation?
I want to populate a table with the database's reports.
And somehow be able to select a row and open a report in design view.
I need to delete all the field names from my table so I can import a new excel file with different field name headings,
currently I run:
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from table1"
this deletes the data in the table, but not field names.
What Vba command will allow me to do this.
I 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.

I have a form with a combo box named 'Venue'. The combo box values comes from a Table with a list of about 200 countries. As of now a user is able to select only one country. However, I want users to be able to select more than one country.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am making a database, but lets say I have 12 locations and have say between 2-100 named people at each location.
I want to be able to link 2 databases together.
I can use lookup wizard to select either a location, but I also want access to display the names at ONLY the location previously selected (IE: Paul and Bert are in Brazil, Steve and Carl are in Cuba, I want once Brazil is selected only Paul and Bert to appear as options). I'm sure it's fairly basic but a having a little trouble with it, and not knowing the technical terms is making it hard to look up.
I have
Field1
Field2
Field3
I need to concatenate these three fields into one but for each record the order can be different. What I want to do is have another field in the table to store the concatenation order as the field names not the field values.
I also need to display the concatenated field as the actual field values and not field names in a form or a report
So if field4 was the concatenated field store it would store the information like this
[Field1] & " " & [Field3] & " " & [Field2]
In a form or a report
Field4 should show as Values of those fields

I 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. How do I combine all those tables into 1 table for easy search for a book rather than open up each table? Tried append query but its ID run as 1, 2, 3... , not F1, F2, F3 and it only append 1 table, not the rest.

Hi. Please do not lecture me on database normalization, as this truly is not in my control.
I have 2 dozen tables, each with 13 fields. All of the field names exist in at least 12 of the tables. And all tables share a ssn field where values are common.(Confused yet? Sorry, if you are...)
If I design a query showing all 2 dozen tables and their fields...
Can I set up a query criteria where I enter the requested ssn and then the required field name and have the result show the values of all the fields with that name, among the ones of the 2 dozen tables where that field name exists? (for that specified ssn)
If I am only as clear as mud, please let me know, and I will try again.
Or, by asking if I can search for field values querying by field name, am I any clearer?
