i would like to have a table where i can track price changes, however i don't want this to based on an inventory order.
i have a table which has the amount of hours to be charged. i then have another table which has the price per hour charged. the price keeps on changing. both tables have the date. tableHours has the date of occurance and TablePrice has the date when the price was last updated.
i need to know how to structure the TablePrice. currently it is set as BillableHourType, Rate, EffectiveDate. If this is correct, i don't know how to run a query.
i need to multiply Hour*Price, criteria: Effective Date must be most recent date as of Date of Occurance.
All Help will be appreciated.
I posted this post on the Microsoft site and i got no good responses, i am new to this site, but if it is a problem of reposting, please let me know. i will not do it again.
Hy, I have this db where a user can purchase and item and total stock number needs to be updated.
I can calculate how many items are left but how to update the warehause table?
I can live without table updating, but if the same item is purchased multiple times my query return incorrect values as the number from which the formula subtracts is never changed.
I must admit I am a "newby" to Access but I have bought my Access 2000 bible, as I am running Access 2000, and attempted to create my desired database. I have linked to 2 tables that I download on a daily basis. This is my inventory from two different suppliers. I then have created two queries that filters each of these files to only show positive quantity items, filters out item specifics, etc.What I want to do is join the 2 queries with their data already filtered. Both of the files from 2 different suppliers contain some of the same data. Once joined if there is an item that is the same I want to delete the higher cost item and only show the lower cost item, I also want to show the rest of the items that do not match. It is easy to identify the same items as every item contains a 12 digit identifier called a upc.I can create a UNION ALL query that shows every item from the two queries. However, I am unsure as to how I go about deleting the higher cost item and only showing the lower cost item if the item is the same. On a side note after I get the results desired I will then be createing an append to query and append all this information to another file that is then uploaded to another system.I will try to attach some sample data that I am using from the two queries I want to join, this data is only a sample of a much bigger file.Thank you and any and all comments or suggestions is much appreciated.
Any way to filter the average price of of a Product within the last 5 occurences (Line Items). It would pull a week back so WHERE: Between Now()-7 and Now(). Example:
I am trying to find out if there is a way to track the order in which items are selected from a list. I am a dabbler and any keyword searches that I can think of don't bring up what I am looking. So, here is what I am trying to do:
I have a table of symptoms with 3 fields (ID, Category, and Symptom).I have a combo box that will allows the user to pick a category (using select Distinct on category field). I then have a list box populated with all the symptoms that have a category of whatever the user selected. The problem I am having is that I need to somehow track the order in which the user selects symptoms and then save that order for future reference and to be printed on a report. The order is important because the most severe symptom needs to be listed first.
I can use barcode scanning to track items through the process, on the condition that the relevant field on a form is highlighted.
The issue is I want the scanning/tracking with wireless scanners to be going on in the background while an operator can use the other functions of the database.
I'm thinking the solution is two computers, one to run the barcode scanning & tracking the other for the rest of the database functions. The problem is we only have one work PC and getting money for a new PC will be like pulling teeth.
I'm completely new to Microsoft Access. This project was thrown my way. I have an accounting database to track payables, receivables, financials, and deliquencies/collections. Is there a way to generate a report for any of the items in the previous sentence that haven't been completed to keep track of workload.
I seem to be have trouble resolving an issue whereby data entered via a combo box based on another combo box from separate tables/queries is not able to be retained when the data in the original table has been "discontinued". The database in question has changing items that are continually updated and/or discontinued. However when these items have been checked as "discontinued", the old entry data is then updated and the fields are empty.
The forms on my access database no longer will show a correct autodate. Instead it just says "Name#?" This is a networked database and the date on the same file will show up correctly when pulled up on any other computer on the network.
The date and time are accurate on all other programs on my computer, i.e. Word, Excel, Publisher, etc, so I cannot just change the time on my computer.
Does anyone know what might keep the date on the form from showing up on my computer only?
I have a table called Books, in that table there is 4 columns ChapterName, Auther, ITEM, Price.
Each book has a item number, and each book has a few records with the same data, just the first column is different where its the ChapterName, each book has a price, but only once, meaning in the first record of each book it will be a price in the column price
Now I want a Query where i can get which book dont have a price at all, and which book has more than once a price, how can i do that?
I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000 B=3000 C=3000 D=3000 F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
I have a table in access which is updated weekly; I need to create two tables from this updated table.
1st table will consist of all the new entries for the current week
2nd table will consist of all the entries from the previous week - an amalgamation of all the entries which are not from the "current week" (table) For example; the table below shows the two entries from last week.
ID Name
1 Adam
2 Ben
This week I have three new entries New entries
ID Name
3 Charles
4 Richard
So when I run the same query next week I will get something like this.
Old Entries ID Name
1 Adam
2 Ben
3 Charles
4 Richard
[code]....
How do I get a query /queries which divides up the weeks new entries and also all the old entries.
After being a member on this site for a while now I would like to get some opinions on "cost of application development" I know the forum covers a wide geographic area and the members cover a wide spectrum of degrees of expertise on Access and application development. So the question is this..What would your rates be and how would you determine your charges for developing Access applications for a business?PS... Please include your location if not in your profile.
I have a problem which hope will have a simple solution, which has been driving me mad all day
I have a client who has two prices for the same service depending on speed of turnaround These prices are entered into the Client table seperately using the CDetails form. I then wish to use this information using a combo box for selection within another form called SDetails.However I can only get the combo box within SDetails to put one of the two prices rather than either of the two choices, because of the bound column within the combo. The combo when pulled down looks something like this
Price 1 Price 2 Client Name
I would prefer for
Price 1 Price 2
so that I have the choice of the price I want to choose.
Having spent time and many brain cells, I have ground myself to a stop. HELP!!!!!! if only for the sake of my sanity
My problem is that the products being sold are so at different prices depending on the customer. (e.g I am selling 100 burgers to Mcdonalds for £50 whereas to Burger King I am selling them for £35).
Therefore I have split my 'Products' table into two. A 'Products' table which contains the product name and category. And a second 'Prices' table which contains the Product name, Customer and the price.
I have setup a relationship between the two tables based on product name
How to I go about looking up the different prices depending on which customer I have placed an order for?
can it be done in a table or do I need to create a query to sort it all out.
I am in need of some assistance. I've been looking on here for an answer, but can only find solution that would give me a by column lowest price, and I need to compare the prices by row. What I have is a table of vendor prices for part numbers we sell. What I want to do is compare all the prices the vendors for each part number and return the lowest and 2nd lowest fields in a query. Here is an example...
ok i didnt know what section to put this in so i put it here. what i wanna do is add a price change history to my database. for example is the price of an item is changed in my database i want to be able to see what the previous price was and when it was last changed, either in forms of reports doesnt matter i just need somewhere to view this info. problem is i have no idea where to start.
Before I start, please know that I am what you call a newbie to a certain extent even though I created in the last 3 years a very complex and efficient database for my business.
This is going to be hard to explain, but I'll try.
The time came to stop creating the Price List in Excel and copy and paste in Access.(mainly to make it easy for other person to maintain and understand)
I know more or less the tables that will need to be created.
My problem is how to store calculated fields in a table (I know I really shouldn't, but how else can I accomplish this), since all the costs and selling prices are the result of complex formulas.
If this information is not enough to understand my question please let me know.
I started a new thread, because it is a new subject even though is related to my Price List thread, I hope is OK.
If someone can please take a look at my attached Excel Price List (particulary the factors sheet) and give me an opinion of how my tables should be created.
I cleaned the Price List was too big to attach and it will be easier to be understood, in its entirety is kind of all over the place, exactly why I need to make simpler in Access for another user to update if I am not around.
I am below including what I think the tables should include, but not sure exactly how they should be, please be reminded that I am un unexperienced newbie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am building a database in Access which I would like to eventually link to my website in order to sell hotel bookings online. I believe I have set all the fields up properly but when it comes time to set the price I'm lost. Each hotel has about 3-5 different prices throughout the year depending on the date. How can I design a table(s) to accommodate this? Any help is appreciated.
I have a combo box which looks up vessel names, it stores the Vessel ID in a field [Vessel ID]. This all works fine, no problem, easy. However as part of the vessel details I also need to know the service the vessel is providing “transhipment” or “direct”. If it is a “transhipment” service I need to show a second Combo box with the on carriage vessels. That’s also easy, I just hide the second combo box and only show it depending on the service status of the vessel.
Now I figure I just need to have a field [Vessel Status] which is updated after the first combo box is updated and then depending on the value show or hide the additional combo box. The problem I’m having is updating the [Vessel Status] field once the first combo box has been update.
Here are my relevant tables: I have a table called Items which has itemCode (primary key), itemDescription, and price. I have a table called bidItems which has bidCode (primary key), itemCode (primarykey), and some other info I have a table called Bids witch has a bidCode (primary key), and a bidDescription
Here is a form that I use to enter data into these tables and (want) to view prices and totals: I made a form based on the Bid table with a continuose subform based on the bidItems table, with combo boxes that lets you select Items by itemDescription (then it stores itemCode automatically with the correct bidCode)
What I can't figure out how to do is get each item's price to automatically display on the form (remember price is in Items table, not bidItems). I've tried a number of things that havn't worked out.... any ideas. Then, ideally I would like the form to display the total of all the item prices. (if you have a pointer on that as well it would be much appreciated)
For an assignment I am required to do the following:
Quote: Use an expression (in field name of design view by using the build button) to create a new field (in Design View of a Query) called "Discount Price" in table "Stock" which is a 25% discount for all stock items from the new inflated price in query B (use expression builder if needed and create it the field name of a query; it will not appear in the table if you try to open the table).
So sorry to bug again. Any ideas or processes on how to go about this would be welcomed
