My boss has asked me if I could take a look at the following problem and whilst I've searched around and tinkered with it myself I'm not making too much progress!
Here is an example:
I have forecast data for working weekdays Mon-Fri. For the weekend I need to replicate data from Friday across the Sat/Sun rows. This is just outside my remit! The data is then exported to Excel where imbalance costs etc. are calculated.
Background: The result will be that management will be able to tell what value *weekend* work will have. At present I already have a set of results for all DF activity. If we take that figure and subtract THIS result we'll be able to see how much benefit working on the weekend has.
Something management are very keen on looking into :)
Any suggestions on where to start would be much appreciated.
I have a training database in which I want to make a text box that data only needs to be entered once for 50 records (not once for each record). But I need to include the information from that box in a form that is already getting its info from another table. When I try to do this with a second table I get this- #Name. And if I include the needed field in my query I'll have to update each record rather than just one time. I have a different database that does this, but I inherited it from someone else, who locked out design view, and I can't contact him to find out how he did it. PLEASE HELP!
I do not know if I'm shooting for the moon here (I haven't seen anything like this yet). I have a database that keeps track of different flights for screw conveyors. The part number on these flights are based on many fields in the database, with a couple characters that aren't. I am trying to make a validation rule that checks to make sure the feilds that are a part of the Part Number match up, or if there is a way to have it auto-fill everything except the 2 characters that have to be entered manually. I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense (Story of my Life).
Thanks to anyone who can help, and those who wish they could.
im creating an error reporting database. for this the hardware/system items need entering they will have a unique id to assist identification i would like the unique id to start with a 3 letter code refering to the type of hardware/system/periferal followed by the number e.g a printer will ahve the id "ptr 00000" and a computer will have the id "cpu 00000" with the 3 letters automaticaly comeing from a combobox field in the same table (form to the user) i have allready been able to get autonumbers with 3 letters before when i created the tecnitian id they are "TEC-00000"
any help thanked. im an A2 student so i know all the code stuff.
I have an insurance policy database keeping track of insurance policy details for household and commercial shops and businesses.
Tables I have are tblPolicyHousehold, tblPolicyCommercialS (Shop), tblPolicyCommercialB (Business). They each contain the following fields (the other fields they contain aren't relevant to this)... SumInsured, extCover1Desc, extCover1SumInsured, extCover2Desc, extCover2SumInsured, extCover2Desc, extCover2SumInsured
I want write a query to list all the policies with the building sum insured. Easy enough... Heres the catch.
In some of the extended cover fields it will say in the description... "Building of 123 AnyStreet" so I want to get the value of that extended cover item where the description for it contains building...
So I want to get extCover1SumInsured where extCover1Desc LIKE "*Building*" and adding that value to the SumInsured field...
I have attached a file which I need a help from, I need the subform to be populated based only on the Employee Code and the Dates where the employee logged-in a Job Order.

In Access 2003 we use an mdw file (unfortunately named system.mdw) that people are joined to (by using Workgroup Administrator) when they become a new user on the system. This works well except that it is time consuming to go through the process for every new user. I am aware that you can create a new mdw file using the user-level security wizard however I have extra problems. This was set up originally when access 97 was in use and the no of users was about 4, there are now 50 plus and growing. We have numerous databases that are all secured through the use of the same mdw file, however as people are only joining this mdw (by using the Workgroup Administrator), when we get someone with a little computer savvy they will figure out that by creating a generic system.mdw file they can escape all security levels that are in existence in the system.mdw file that we want them to use. Is it possible to somehow get a database to associate itself with an mdw after the mdw has been extensively modified? I am aware of short cuts that have the mdw file in them but they are easily bypassed. Furthermore as we have numerous probably 100 databases all pointing at the one mdw file is it possible to get them all associated with the same mdw file? I have looked through the forums and various others but have not found an answer that will help me. Can anyone help?
Ok, I have a table that contains a number of yes/no fields depending on location.
There are two main parts of my db that use this, one is users (for their departments) and the second is changes (for secondary locations)
I want to have two fields in the table used to reference a set of locations. Meaning i can reference the table and get locations where userID = 3 or alternativly where ChangeNumber = 6
Can somebody help me in making this work. Im currently having issues with duplicate values etc
In table 1 I have some document #s e.g. 320 321 322 170 171 172 151 152
In table 2 I have some document #s e.g. 170 171 151
I would like to create a query, that will look at the document #s starting with 17* and 15* in table 1 and look for it in table 2, if the document #s do not exist, I would like the query to spill out the following:
Hi all - I am not sure if this is even possible, but I know if it is someone here will know how to do it. I have a table with a list of dogs names. The dogs run in a team so I have another table with their run record. Currently, the form would have a text box where you select the dog's name and then another text box where you select the position in the team so it looks like this:
name1, position1 name2, position2
and so on. I would like to create the form where the text boxes are aligned to look like the team and the person would just have to select the dog's name that ran that position and the code behind would create a record that looks like the one above. For example, here is what the form would look like:
I would like the person to be able to select the dog's name in the text box labeled Position1 then move on to select the dog's name in Position2 and so on. I am imagining the record will still look like the one above. Meaning,
name1, position1 name2, position2, and so on.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks so much for all your help. This forum has been so helpful in the past, I thought I would just put this out there.
Hi all, I have a table that has a long date format for example 05/05/05 02:40:34 AM how can I add an 8 hours to the date and time. Please help if you can because I"m going nuts!!! thanks. I want it to look like 05/05/05 10:40:34 AM
I'm probably approaching this wrong, as I'm definitely out of my depth - maybe someone can offer some advice
I have 2 spreadsheets. One is a simple parts list with a code and some other info - I've loaded this into Access no problem.
The second sheet is used for ordering - it contains one text field with a company name at the top, followed by a list all in one column of all of the item codes, and another column with a description, and a third column with an x in against each item being ordered.
What I would like to do is set up a new table with the company name, and then each of the item codes which have been selected (there will always be a maximum of 10 ordered so I envisage a field per ordered item code).
I haven't got a clue how to do this - Can anyone help?
I can then link the two tables and print a report - I could probably do this bit.
I have a reporting interface providing users with a multitude of reporting options and capabilities. One aspect involves utilizing the ability to allow users to save their settings on the interface due to the number of options provided. One of the aspects revolves around working with listboxes.
Each listbox is pre-loaded every time with a list of items from a master table pertaining to the listbox. The user selects their desired choices, saves*, etc...Once loading a setting, I'm looking to have the listbox pre-loaded (easy) but then auto highlighting the items selected or rather pulled from the user settings table (each listbox has own table for user saving of options). So, if a user selects items Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Falcon from a list of 100 choices, then those 4 items would be saved under that user setting, within the code table (user specific). When they load the setting back onto the user interface, it should pull the 100 choices and auto highlight the 4 items. Hopefully I've explained that properly.
*A user is able to save, save as, load settings, unload settings, etc...from the reporting interface. When a user saves settings, these settings are saved within the user settings tables. Each table varies depending on the nature of the values within the reporting interface. Listboxes have their own tables connected to the primary settings table.
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
Hi, I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation, but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this impliemented? Here is the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167659/en-us Thanks!

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri Masonry NSW');'
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
