Test For New Employees
Jul 26, 2007
Hi Folks!
I've been asked to make a 5 questions test to evaluation potential new employees' knowledge of MS-Access. Honestly, I need your input on what to ask. The goal is not to make a very hard test, but rather to see if somebody as at least basic knowledge of SQL and Ms-Access.
Some background information of what we do with MS-Access
We use MS-Access as a central hub for different download from different systems. We make a lot of daily imports. We export queries in Ms-Excel. We open it from Access and format the report. We make hundreds of reports every day. We don't really use forms or reports.
What questions to ask?
I was thinking of having 2 questions about SQL. One simple query with a formula, and a query with 2 tables (perhaps a left join). On what should my other questions be?

Hi ya, the database that I'm working on has many employees for example 2 directors, 6 managers, 22 tutors (there are different types of tutors permanant temporary etc), 4 finance managers etc etc when you click on one of the employee type it expands and shows how many employee are under that section and their details etc, like when i click on director, there is this + sign beside it and when I click on it, it expands and shows me info on all the directors only.. How would I get that?? Do I have to make a seperate table for named employee type?? but then how would I add a relationship to it between employee and employee type?? how would I go about doing that...
Also I need to know how to do it since I need to use queries lateron which will only be about tutors and the courses they teach, and since there are many different types of tutors I'm kinda lost... Thank you for your help in advance!

Hey guys-
I am importing data on a daily basis- some of it contains existing records, some of those existing records have updated information, and then the rest will be new records. I am importing into a table, say, tbImport.
I have 3 tables I am splitting this info out to- tbListings, tbAgent, and tbAgentOffice. Each record can have up to 3 Sales Agents on the file- Agent 1, Agent 2, and Agent 3. Each Agent has their own Employee ID, as well as Office ID, Mobile, Home, Pager numbers. Each Agent can belong to only ONE Office, but every office can have multiple agents. I am using the Agent's Employee ID (it's assigned by another SQL db- and I will never be assigning this freely to anyone else, or new agents- they come into the DB already assigned a unique code).
Agent 1, 2 and 3 can freely change positions (Agent 1 can be Agent 3 at times, etc etc) from record to record. However, I want to store all their contact info into a separate table, going for 3rd Level Normalization...
So what I have is this-
tbImport
_____________________
fldInfoID
fldWhatever
fldAgent1Code
fldAgent1Name
fldAgent1Mobile
fldAgent1Pager
fldAgent1Home
fldAgent1OfficeName
fldAgent1OfficeCode
fldAgent1OfficeFax
fldAgent1OfficeNumber
fldAgent2Code
fldAgent2Name
fldAgent2Mobile
fldAgent2Pager
fldAgent2Home
fldAgent2OfficeName
fldAgent2OfficeCode
fldAgent2OfficeFax
fldAgent2OfficeNumber
fldAgent3Code
fldAgent3Name
fldAgent3Mobile
fldAgent3Pager
fldAgent3Home
fldAgent3OfficeName
fldAgent3OfficeCode
fldAgent3OfficeFax
fldAgent3OfficeNumber
**plus a ton of other data- but you get the idea here
AND I want it to go into tables like these 2-
tbAgent
________________
fldAgentCode (Primary Key)
fldAgentName
fldAgentMobile
fldAgentPager
fldAgentHome
fldAgentOfficeName
fldAgentOfficeCode
fldAgentOfficeFax
fldAgentOfficeNumber
tbAgentOffice
_________________
fldAgentOfficeCode (Primary Key)
fldAgentOfficeName
fldAgentOfficeNumber
fldAgentOfficeFax
So- the tbAgent table will store all the contact info for every agent, and tbAgentOffice stores info for their offices. I know I'll have relationships from tbListings.fldAgent1Code (as well as Agent 2 and 3 at the same time) to the tbAgent.fldAgentCode. I'll also have a relationship from tbAgent.fldAgentOfficeCode to tbAgentOffice.fldAgentOfficeCode. So, when I do daily imports- I will need to run an update query from the tbImport table into the other 3 tables at the same time. My question is this-
How do I cram the individual fields for all 3 agents, into one universal field in the tbAgent table at the same time? I can't get my mind around the concept here. How will it take all the fields for each agent in the tbImport table- and cram them into 1 record set (while checking for existing/update records) in the tbAgent table? How do I write that in the sql code to tell it to link Agent2Mobile into the same Record as Agent2Code, and not into the Agent1Code or Agent3Code? Right now it seems to me that there's no way to distinguish between the Mobile Number for Agent 1 2 and 3 compared to their own Codes to identify the records with. Does that make sense?
Any help you can provide is EXTREMELY appreciated!

Hi, I've lost touch of Access few years back & now I'm back again using Access... kinda rusty & yet rushing for a proj... so I'll very much appreciate if someone can help me on this..... :)
I've a database storing inventory details & after adding these details, i'm supposed to have another form where i'll start assigning these assets to different employees..& of cos, i'll need to edit this form over time if the employee left the company or asset is being transferred to another person. However, this asset list is quite comprehensive with thousands of records, so it isn't feasible for me to list all assets at one go & start assigning different asset to different employee... any idea how I shld go abt assigning? shld i minimise the search by invoice key & track no? (each invoice contains a few grp of items & each grp will contain several items, therefore, i've assigned an invoice key for each invoice & track no for each item.)
any help is very much appreciated.... thanks :)

On my form I need to limit the number of employees that can be entered using OnCall as the criteria or use ExpName or Employee ID
If this criteria is NOT met then disable On Call. In other words if they try and enter a 5th employee then the field On Call/checkbox is disabled
name of field is OnCall and actual control is named On Call
I need this to fire on the OnCurrent Event for the form which is named frm_Employees_on_Call_What_Order
In other words, no more than 4 employees are allowed to be on call at the same time. The fields for the query the form is based on are:
All are form the Employees table
Employee ID Employee autonumber primary key
ExpName name of employee, includes first and last name
On Call Yes/No checkbox used for if a employee is on call or not
query used is named qry_On_Call

I have a Access database of employees and I need to count how many worked for each organization in the company by month. I can't figure out how to break this problem down and solve it. I can do this ten ways from sunday in VBA, but I'm looking for an SQL solution.
My data looks like this (simplified) example...Table.jpg In this database, a process runs nightly and adds any new employees with the [CreatedOn] date. This value never changes. The [LastUpdate] field is updated to the time the nightly process executes as long as the employee is still at the company. So when an employee leaves, the last update field is no longer updated. So in my example data the employees in the 1st, 4th and 7th line no longer work for the company.
I've been trying to produce a query(s) with these results...Results.jpg I've tried several incarnations of various queries with subqueires to filter [CreateOn] and [LastUpdate] so that I can count the total employees in each organization at month end. None produce correct results.
My goal is to ultimately produce a chart that looks like this...Chart.jpg

Attached i have a Database with 3 Tables.
-Table MA's. is the just a table were you can select if an Analyst is at the office or not. so if the check box is selected the analyst is available.
-Table Backups. We have Alias which is a reference code to a supplier the 1 Analyst and then Backup 1 and backup 2
-Table suppliers are just de supplier details.
what i whould need is when in the MA's table an Analyst is not selected a macro or query should search for backup 1 and replace it. when the backup 1 is not available as wel than backup 2 should be put in place.
When no backups are availeble then a message can put in the cell like"No Backup Available'.
This result can be put in a new table named. Decksplit with then the Supplier Alias, Supplier Name, Analyst

and so on for each department
would only like to show one instance of a department (distinct) with the total hours done by all employees for that department?, if any one could please help me out that would be great!?

I'm developing a database that tracks monthly metrics of employees. These employee are at several different locations.
Here's what I would like:
A table of the employees and their location.
A table of the metrics.
A form that you can select an employee and it would autofill the location and then you could fill out the metrics.
the ability to change an employee's location without it effecting past records.
A report, by month and location of the employee's metrics. (pretty sure I can do this on my own, just can't get to this point.)
I've tried to use a auto lookup query but that then changes the employees location on past records.

I'm creating an Audit form with a combobox from which the employee name performing the audit can be selected. The data source is the EmpNames query which selects from the Employees table, linked to another database. The EmpNames query includes a record selection criteria where Employees.TermDate is null so that terminated employees will not appear in the dropdown list.
This is fine as audit records are being added in the form for current employees, but in the future, if an employee is terminated and we go back to one of his audit records, the name will be blank because EmpNames won't include it. The Audit table doesn't store the employee's name -- just his employee ID, and the combobox has a two-column data source where the column 1 width is 0 and column 2 is the name. Is there a way to have only current employees be selectable but still be able to see terminated employees in existing audit records?

I have a database and form that is used to register times and various codes for employees to enter their work schedule for the day. Right now I am using a split form where they enter a ID code in the form and it auto populates with their name/department/and date. They then go and fill out a few boxes regarding time spent, machine used, and purchase order.
Once the information is added it is seen below due to it being a split form.
My question is this: Can I make the bottom portion (split form) filter and display only that specific employees ID number and his previous entries? Right now it is possible to view all of the entries placed and due to it being used on a network connection there are many submissions, I want it to narrow down so that once the employee enters his/her own ID only their previous submissions for that day can be viewed.

Currently if an employee attends a mandatory training session the details are entered individually into in a single table which contains all the employees' attendances to training, this is achieved via a bound form.
Works Fine.
My question is, if the training is carried out by a number of employees can this attendance be recorded on one form and assigned to each of the employees who attended?

I need the ability to assign employees to a different task in each of four different timeslots on a daily basis. What I would like to do is as I assign an employee to a task in timeframe 1, I would like for them to become unavailable to assign to another task in the same timeframe.
For Example: Three employees to assign to three tasks at the 8 AM to 10 AM time slot.
Employee
Task
Time
Assigned
Emp 1, Emp 2, Emp 3
Task 1
8 AM to 10 AM
Emp 2-Task 1
Emp 1, Emp 3
Task 2
8 AM to 10 AM
Emp 3-Task 2
Emp1
Task 3
8 AM to 10 AM
Emp1-Task 3
It would be nice to set this up in a form where my person doing the scheduling can assign an individual to a task and that individual name disappears from the combo boxes, list boxes, or is "greyed-out" in a listing of employees available for the time period for the remaining assignments.

Hey all, I'm trying to design a Test / Survey database.
I have posted regarding this problem before if it looks familiar to you.
Please look at the .jpg attached
I have looked at some previous survey/tests design posted on this forum and had a good table design based off of a Pat Hartman suggestion. Now i am wanting more out of the database and need more advanced options.
The main problem is how to tell which answer/OptionDetail is the correct answer for both Surveys and Tests. Maybe it would be better to separate the two? All suggestions welcomed.
Case Survey
Here is what i am trying to do. When a user decides to make a new question for a survey they will have to choose what type of question the question will be. For example say the user wants to make a survey with a answer grid question. They would choose Answer Grid from the tquestionstypeMaster combobox. Then they would have the option of choosing a type of answer grid (Satisfy3) from the tQuestionTypeOptionsMaster combo box. Say the user chose Satisfy3 then they would be presented with a list of all possible answers that the test taker would see for the Satisfy3 choice ( Very Satisfied, Somewhat Satisfied, Not Satisfied).
This is what i want as far as the survey section goes.
Case Test
A user decides to make a new question for a test they will have to choose what type of question the question will be. For example say the user wants to make a test with a Multiple Choice question. They would choose Multiple Choice from the tquestionstypeMaster combobox. Then they would have the option of choosing a type of answer grid (Single Answer, Multiple Answer) from the tQuestionTypeOptionsMaster combo box. Now comes the part where im stuck. I have to somehow get the Multiple choice selections that the test maker is entering into the tAnswers table and figure out how to tell the program to look at tAnswers insted of tQuestionTypeOptionsMasterDetails when the test taker opens up the form. I also need to figure out how to tell which multiple choice selection is the correct answer.
I hope this makes sense to everyone.
Thanks Hooks

I need to evaluate a string, if the string is ?-* or ???-*, then I return the string, if not I use the Left function.
I would like to do this with IIF statement in my query, or a VBA function that I could place is my query.
This is what I have so far:
VBA:
Function change()
Dim str_sku As String
If str_sku = "???-*" Then
str_sku = str_sku
Else
str_sku = Left("str_sku", 5)
End If
End Function
I get a type mismatch error. I tested on change(Function change(983-00245)
In the IIF statement, I am not able to figure out the Or part.
SKU: IIf([ITEM] Like "???-*",[ITEM],Left([ITEM],5))
Missing the "1-*" part.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
