I have three list boxes. Two of them has data from a database in them. I want to chose one piece of data from one index, and choose two pieces of data from the other list, and click a button to send it to another list(database, that would later be exported to excel). Does anyone know how I would go about doing this?
View RepliesI am creating a database for a hyperthetical car hire company. I have a table for the customer details, a table for car details, a mid table with current car hire information. I want to create a table for previous car hire information. Is there a way that i can transfer the details from the current car hire table to the previous car hire table without copying and pasting? (when the customer returns their car)
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there, this is probably a very simple problem for people with experience of Access, however i have been having problems with being able to tranfer information from a query to a table.
I have made a query which displays a number of different items with their prices and who bought them (ie. booking ID)
I have then made a query which asks for the booking ID, then once you have input that it searches the items and adds up the price for all the items which that booking ID has.
both these queries work fine. The problem i am having is that i want to transfer this total price into a table. I have been able to do this by manually typing into the sql code the price, however when i try to get the query to collect the price itselfs, it gives the error
"operation must use an updateable query"
btw i am making the query as a update query,
sorry if this post is a tad long and messy,
thx in advance for any help
Hey All,
This may have been covered already, and if it was I appologize. Searched for it but couldnt find it.
Any how, I have a large table of records (problem is its growing). It lists customers and dates. My table has way to many records, so i need to condense it a little bit. What i need to do is transfer contracts that have been fulfilled (by date) transfer to another table that contains records of contracts that have been fulfilled. I want to do this by a push of a button, automatically transferring any records that the date has passed to the pastcontract table.
Any ideas? Im not quite sure how to proceed.

I am currently studying for my A levels and need some help with microsoft access. What I want to do is transfer information from one table in my database to another. When it transfers however, I want it to alter under a certain validation. This is what i want to do;

This is an example of the information. The letters regard to a GCSE result. I want the grade to be transfered to a table called "point score". Each grade has a value, A* = 8 points, A = 7 points, B = 6 points and so on. When the data is transfered to the point score, I want it to just state the point score and not the grade. Can anyone help?

Hello everyone,
I am still trying to solve the following problem:
I am trying to transfer data from one table to the other in a different folder using the follwing command:
Private Sub Commandtransfer_Click()
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb", acTable, "tblSanTV", "tblSanTV"
End Sub
By using the above command I could be able to transfer "tblSanTV" table from D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb to another table in a different folder but it transfer the table and data together. But that is not what I want to do. All I want to do is to transfer the new data from one table to existing data in another table. These tables have the same names but different field names.
I tried the following command to solve my problem, but I end up with more problems than solution:
PPrivate Sub Commandtransfer_Click()
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb", acTable, "tblSanTV", True, "INSP#; MAINLINE ID#;US MH ID#", "tblSanTV", True, "INSPNO;MAINLINE; SAN_MH_FROM"
End Sub
In the above command, I was trying to import data from "D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb", tblSanTV" table to the general database. But I want data in the field "INSPNO;MAINLINE; SAN_MH_FROM" in "tblSanTV" goes to the corresponding fields in general dabase "tblSanTV" table, fiel "INSP#, MAINLINE ID#,US MH ID#" consecutively.
I want somebody help me out with this issue. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I have still an issue with tranfsfering data from two tabels to another two tables which have parental relationship. A while a go on this forum someone have suggested to me to use the append query but that only works to append to one table, which is not my case.
If I don't transfer these two tables together or at the same time, they will loose their relationship because of their relationship which is auto number.
I have tried to modify the append query SQL and didn't work for me. Please someone help me solve this problem or tell me other alternative way of doing this. Somone look at the following modified append query and see where I made a mistake or cannot do it this way:
INSERT INTO tblSanTV ( INSPNO, MAINLINE, [US MH ID#], [DS MH ID#], [ADDRESS#], [STREET NAME], [CROSSING STREET], [FL TYPE], [P SIZE], [MT TYPE], [MH DEPTH], [P LENGTH], [SITE CONDITION], REVERSE, HEADING, [INSP DATE], [TAPE#], [TAPE START], [TAPE STOP], [INSPECTOR NAME], [PROJECT NAME], [PROJECT NUMBER], [REP TYPE], [REP PRIORITY])
INSERT INTO tblSanTVmk (DISTFROM, DISTTO, [COUNTER], [OBS TYPE], CATEGORY, DIRECTION, [SC PERMIT#], COMMENTS, [PHOTO CLIP] )
SELECT SANTV2.[INSP#], SANTV2.[MAINLINE ID#], SANTV2.[US MH ID#], SANTV2.[DS MH ID#], SANTV2.[ADDRESS#], SANTV2.[STREET NAME], SANTV2.[CROSS STREET], SANTV2.[FL TYPE], SANTV2.[P SIZE], SANTV2.[MT TYPE], SANTV2.[MH DEPTH], SANTV2.[P LENGTH], SANTV2.[SITE CONDITION], SANTV2.REVERSE, SANTV2.HEADING, SANTV2.[INSP DATE], SANTV2.[TAPE#], SANTV2.[TAPE START], SANTV2.[TAPE STOP], SANTV2.INSPECTOR, SANTV2.[PROJECT NAME], SANTV2.[PROJECT#], SANTV2.[REP TYPE], SANTV2.[REP PRIORITY], tblSanTVmk2.DISTFROM, tblSanTVmk2.DISTTO, tblSanTVmk2.COUNTER, tblSanTVmk2.[OBS TYPE], tblSanTVmk2.CATEGORY, tblSanTVmk2.DIRECTION, tblSanTVmk2.[SC PERMIT#], tblSanTVmk2.COMMENTS, tblSanTVmk2.[PHOTO CLIP]
FROM SANTV2 INNER JOIN tblSanTVmk2 ON SANTV2.[INSP#] = tblSanTVmk2.[INSP#]
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
I tried to modify the append query to the above format but didn't work. I even tried "inner join" to put the above table together but I could be able to make it work. Anybody knows how to solve this, please help. Thanks.

i have 3 databases containing data in the same format.
basically i work in a school, and have a database for 3 different classes.
each database has a table containing the childrens details(table a), and a linked table (through primary key in table a) to targets and points scote for each week.
--table a--
child number
name
carer
address
etc
--table b--
index
child number (linked)(displayed as childs name in table, but stored as a number)
week starting
target 1
target 2
target 3
points 1
points 2
points 3
etc
now this database has been working really well. but if ever a child has to be moved class then i need to be called to transfer the records manually (because nobody else can do it) and i have to get the records manually and copy and paste them between databases. This works fine and i've had no problems. And the auto number in table a is changed from the original. but this seems to automatically corrolate to table b when i paste that over. so everything is working fine.
but....
first of all, it creates lots of work for me when kids move classes, and also if i'm not there nobody else can do it.
so....
i've tried using an append query to transfer the data. I tried using 2 append queries (1 for each table).
but....
it works fine for table a, but i'm having trouble with table b.
the append query for table b pastes all the records into the equivalent table on the other database through searching all records related to childs name on table a, therefore retuning all records in table b for that child.
the problem.......
when this data is transfered it transfers table a data fine. but table b is fine except for the fact that it doesn't transfer the childs name data (number), which i can kinda understand, but from what i can understand, my queries are doing the same thing as if i was to cut and paste manually and it works fine when i do that.
ok so its all very confusing, and i hope ive explained adequetly.
oh and btw, i can't put it all in 1 database, because each class may need to access the database at the same time.
thanks

Hi,
I have a subform called "Earthwork". I also have a query called earthwork200 and I need to dynamically transfer data from the earthwork to the query based on a certain column.
for example, the earthwork column i am using to transfer data to the query is "Desc" (the name of the column). How do i get data to dynamically goto the query as I click on a new item under the "desc" column?
Kindly HELP!!
I have a tbl called table1 which has 3 fields. i have a form called form1 which list field1 for all records in table1. when i double click on field1 i want to open form2, retrieve the data from table1 using field1 as input and display the results onto form2. can this be done just using Access or do i need visual basic? i am new at Access and have not ever used visual basic. i do know java. can you tell me how to do this or suggest a book which could explain it. the access book i have does not go into this type of detail.

I've built a table and used it to build a form. One the form I have three boxes, one to enter the DoB, and two others that record the age and also put the individual into an age bracket.
In the latter two categories I have entered a formula in the Properties Box under Data & Control Source (the formulas are below) to automatically work out what the age and age bracket is when the DoB is entered. This works fine but the information isn't transferred back to the table.
Do I need to do the info in the table first and then update the form? And if so where do I enter the info in the field properties in the table design view?
=Int((Date()-[DOB])/365.25)
=IIf([age]>=50,"50+",IIf([age]>=35,"35-49",IIf([age]>=25,"25-34","16-24")))
Many thanks in advance

Currently our main database is made in access.

As this is a new job i would like to be able to do this myself, is it hard to do?
Could someone provide me with some information of how to do this? or where to start.
Much appriciated.

Hi
I am creating a database but I am having a problem with one little bit (so far!!)
I have form (and table) 1 and form/table 2. When I am in table 1 (which is company details) I want to be able to click a button which will open form 2 and allow me to enter a new record of incoming mail details regarding the Co. selected in form 1.
I have made a relationship between the Company ID on both tables.
I cannot seem to work out how to make Access take the Co ID no from form/table 1 and stick it into form/table 2 when I push the button.
Can anyone offer any advice??
thanks heaps

I wonder if anyone has a quick fix for me. I have two tables in a project management DB that I am making. The first table is a projects table and the second is a tasks table. I would like to have a list box in the projects table containing all the tasks completed for the specific project. However, the current list box is showing all tasks rather than the ones specific to the project ID. The project ID is the primary key in the projects table and the foreign key in the tasks table. I am not sure if/how setting up a filter would correct this or if I just need to adjust the relationships. An example of the DB is avaiable if helpful.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have a client who wants his Accs db converted to MySQL. I have no problem understanding MySQL. However, my knowledge is limited with Accs.
This db is quite large (53mb) and has several tables, queries, reports, forms, modules, etc. I suppose he tried to create a backup and sent it to me. The problem is that all I have are the tables...nothing else.
Did he do something wrong or is that standard w/ Accs? Is there anyway I could have all of the information saved to some type of txt or .doc file and send that to me? I understand that would make it larger. The problem is right now Im on his computer (networking) and it's running too slow. I'm having to make screenshots and what-not (and that's when his secretary ISN'T WORKING...so pretty much at night). Really need some suggestions with this.
Thanx,
Tim
I am brand new to Access(I started yesterday). I have a ListBox that gets its selections from a Query. I set it for MultiSelect, and now I have to figure out how to store the selections. The list is organized in accending order, which does not match the table that the Query is based on. I have no experience with VBA. The form name is Trouble_Ticket and the ListBox name is List24.
Thank you
I have got a set of information that has a mixed bag of names. Some have only a first name but some have a middle name also.
I am looking to shortern the information just to the firstname (i.e. in stead of the results showing "Bill William" as the firstname, i want to just show "Bill").
i tried using the Left function but because the strings are of varied length i need the cut off to be the space between the various names.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I seem to remember - way back in my access class that I have not used regularly, therefore have forgotten much - that there is a way to put a description of the query or form or table that pops up in a kind of box when the cursor is placed over the name. I hope that makes sense - if not, read on.
I have a lot of queries and would want anyone using them to know what they will do before they click on one - because it might mess things up.
Thanks in advance,
Peg
I am having a hard time linking some certain information. I think I have my relationships formatted correctly but not all the information is connecting.
For example: I have a form where I am creating a sales quote. In the form I have a combo box where I select my product ID. When I select the product ID, the product name automatically populates but the price does not.
I have attached a screenshot of my relationships. Can someone please look it over and see if anything stands out to you as being incorrectly formatted? Or offer any advise in getting my price to connect to the product ID I enter?
Hi there..
We have Access 2000 database. Everythign is working fine but suddenly it have started loosing information. I entered one record last week and its not showing up now.
I am not a remote user. I entered the data from local machine.
Do someone have any idea about this issue.
Thanks

I am implementing a quoting system at work. Many times, a customer wants the same job that he asked for last year or 2 years ago, so basically it's the same information. So when the customer calls, I look for his last quote, and then would add a button that would create a new quote (record) but with the same information. It would be a burden to enter all the same information each time the customer calls for the same job over and over again.
Thank you
