So I have an event table with a muti value field with all the people on that event. This people field is look up column from my people table (so shows the name but stores the key).Anyhow what I now need to to do is record logs from the event for each person (from that muti value people field). I want ideally be prompted to enter the log data for each person, and show it related to the event it is for.

I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values?
Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?
I have 4 fields in a table that when combined must be unique.I know you can setup multiple fields as a combined key, but I don't really need these to be the key (I will auto number a unique key). I just need to make sure the same combination of codes is not entered twice.Do I set this up as multiple key fields anyway?

I have created a multi-field pkey with the ModelDescription and VersionNumber fields. I did it the way that didn't require code as I could not find any online and am not versed enough in VB to do it on my own. I just highlighted both the fields and pressed the "Key" button.
My question is linking the tables. Should I just join them via the ModelDescription field? It won't let me join on both fields. Is it going to matter which field (ModelDescription vs. VersionNumber) I use to join the tables? I've never run into the need to have a multi-field pkey before.
I'm currently using Access 2010 and I'm working on a database project. My question is related to table relationships. Within that project I do have a table that is related to other three tables where that table is the parent. The problem here is that once that table is updated or have a new value it never cascades it down to the other tables.
1- How to have multi relationship to the same field on the same table from different tables?
2- how to cascade the updates to the related fields?
3- Is there any way to force the data update to other tables?
I'm having a big struggle with adding a multi-value lookup field to a table. I need to provide a long pick list of items (from a source table) but these items must not be output (in forms or reports) in alphabetical order, they need to remain in the order that they are in the source table.
Access wants to alphabetize the output even if a I add a number field to the source table and sort by that.
Is there any way I can persuade access to just give the selected items back in the same order as in the source table ?
I am working with MS Access. The database has 2 tables.
-Parent and Student and ParentID is the Primary key as a parent may have multiple Students
-There is a form that lets me add students for a particular parent
One of the fields in the Parent Table is FeeDue. I added a field in the Parent Table called NumOfStudents..What I want to do is as follows: When a student is added on the Student Form, I want fee to be calculated automatically for display AND update the FeeDue field in Parent table. Event handler executed when a student is added (checkbox clicked)
OnClick()
{
Read NumOfStudents from Parent Table
if(student_added = true)
NumOfStudents++
else /* This is to cover student withdrawl*/
NumOfStudents--
if(NUmOfStudents = 1)
Fee= 400
else
Fee = 500
}
student_added check box is on the student form NumOfStudents and FeeDue are fields in Parent
problem using MS Access 2010. One of my database field's is using multiply values (you can add one than more values in that field by checkbox). So, for example, one record in that ONE field looks like this: "Gastropoda; Mermithidae; Nematoda; Oligochaeta; Scorpiones". When I'm going to "PrivotTable view" I have only "Ga" for instance instead of full names...

I have a table named PRODUCTS:
ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer)
ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS:
ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer)
FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.)
FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen)
CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS]
from PRODUCTS
where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how to make this work.
I have three tables.
tblIntakeMain
[IntakeMainID]
tblIncidentDetails
[IncidentdeatailsID]
tblPersonnel
[PersonnelID]
On the main form I use subforms to link tblIncidentDetails and tblPersonnel to tblIntakeMain. Both subforms can, and do, have many entries. This all works fine. What is not working is the search form I am using.
I am using Gromits most excellent Search Form. The problem is when I create a query, qSearch, to bring together the three tables I get a multiple records which makes the searches very confusing and near useless. Is there anyway around this? Is there something I am missing? Is there another search method I could use that would work in a similar way as Gromits? Please help before the Prozac runs out and I lose my mind--what little it left.
Hi everyone. Apologies if this has come up before, but the search terms I've tried here and on google keep turning up the wrong information.
At work I manage a large database with many tables. It stores data for participants in a research study. Each table stores the data for a different test, so one participant may have multiple records. Primary keys for these tables are defined by a combination of the participant and date of test fields. (Everything is dependent upon a table that stores the static info for participants, so the database is normalized.)
I want to be able to make a table that lists target participants and dates, and then create a query that looks at this table and pulls all the available data from various tables for those individuals that was recorded within one year of the target dates.
I've successfully made queries that meet these criteria while pulling data from only one table. The problem I'm having is that when I try to pull from multiple tables, each with it's own date field that needs to be used as a criterion, I end up excluding almost all the data, because most of the target participants do not have all the requested data within the target dates.
I've tried being inclusive with my criteria (using ORs), but then I end up with tons of data that I don't want and I need to filter through it, which defeats the purpose of the query.
Any advice on handling this issue, or do I basically just need to create a separate query for each table?
I'm sorry if this is too vague, but it's illegal for me to upload any of my own dataset. I could probably come up with an example if it's helpful, though.
Thanks!

Group,
I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I'm sure this is absurdly simple.
I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
This is a skeleton view of what I'm going for:
Master Table:
tlbAuditReportHeader
- AuditDate
- AuditArea
- Auditor
Sub Table:
tblDiscrepancy
- Discrepancy
- CorrectiveAction
- ActualCompletionDate
- VerifiedDate
- Notes
Sub table to Sub Table
tblFollowUp
- FollowUpDate
- AssignedTo
- SpokeWith
- EstimatedCompletionDate
- Notes
Sometimes tasks change hands or are pushed back depending on work load. It would be nice to be able to track something like this.
I 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.
I have started work on a database to track the many (several hundred per annum) projects my company undertakes. A 'main' table lists projects, their fees, their key dates, their project numbers, etc. I have created another table for tasks. Each task is assigned to a project (via the project number), and may be 'open' or 'closed'. I have separated the tasks table from the projects table as there may be several different tasks for each project. It is also good to keep a record of the tasks.
I want to prepare a report from the projects table that lists projects IF they have any open tasks.
In my mind, this means 'If a task, with the corresponding project number, is open, put a 'Yes' in the 'Tasks open' field of the Projects table.'
I am working on a database which has two tables used as part of a registration and login process.
I would like a couple of fields from table one to automatically update in table two, once the fields in table one are populated without using an 'on click' event.
The reason I would prefer not to use an onclick is because the completion of the form used to generate the users table does not require any buttons for the data to save.
I am using collect data via email process to collect data by email, purpose is to update not to add new records but to update. The condition for update is to have data from one table only.
I have 4 tables data from which should be sent by email. These tables are related. I made a query based on tables and query is update-able. When I use this query, wizard does not give option of updating the data but only of adding new records.
I tried to first make a make table from a make table query but that too have the same result.
Any ways to make treat these tables in a single table? Almost all fields except one shall be just to read and one field shall be updated.
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.

I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
Table1 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
Table2 contain Two fields (3Months) and (6Months)
the table 2 is the source of a form that will let the user change the numbers. table 1 should change Date1 and Date2 Fields based on the two fields (3months) and (6months) if i want to make a lookup wizard it should be changed manually and if i make a calculated field i can't find other tables in the expression builder
I have a main table which is autonumbered on unitid, I have another table which is linked via the unitid which holds items purchased for the main table, so the second table is a subform of the suppliers and will have multiple entries of the same unitid. What I would like to do is when an item is entered into the second table, check the main table to see if it exists, if it does populate the unitid field with the unitid from the main table, and if not exist create a new record in the main table with the next unitid number.
This in essence is what I want, bearing in mind that the tblinvoices is a subform and the tblmain is not open.
If ([tblinvoices]![Unit] = [tblmain]![Unit]) Then
[tblinvoices]![UnitID] = [tblinvoices]![UnitID]
End If
Hi Everyone,
I have read several tutorials on linking tables to store data, however I cant seem to get this right. I need a little help with my table design and structure. What I am trying to accomplish is a database that captures the following:
-Name
-Employee#
-Group # (1-25 One person can be in more than 1 group)
-Referred By (Only one name for each Group the person is in)
-Priority # (Can be a 1 or a 2 for each group # the person is in)
-Outcome of group (Just a small text explination of the outcome)
-Date Scheduled (Can be mutiple dates scheduled for each group)
So basically what I want to do is be able to retrieve a list of what Groups an emplyee is in, Who reffered them to that group, the Priority # of that person in the group and what dates they are scheduled for each group along with the outcome of each group they have attended. I know I need to join multiple tables but I am a bit stumped on how to go about doing this. Any help with my database and table design would be much appriciated. Thanks.
I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?
