I have previously posted this on another message board with no responses. I am hoping that someone here can help.
I have a form that has several subforms. The forms are linked Child to Master using a Company Name Contol. In the table where the Company Name is set up, it is not indexed.
It is not a primary key. When the EU (in test) enter data with the company name a second time (a second record for the same company), all the information in the first record populates the second record. If any changes are made to the second record, then it is also reflected as changed in the first record. I hope that I am clear in my explanation. What have I done to cause this?
Hi. I have a table with contract numbers and acceptable start date and end date for training. And I have a different table which has records for individuals with fields which include a contract one that is a combination of a vendor name and the contract number, plus the individual's training start date.
Anyway, I need to run a query which would check to verify that the individual's start date falls within that contract's acceptable start range.
How would I link the 2 tables? There really isn't a 'firm' related field. Or, is this impossible.
Hi. I have a dtabase (Access 97) and all ahs been well. I needed to adjust some field sizes. But if I try to even reduce 1 field's size or to increase 1 field's size and save the table, I get a message that it cannot be saved due to too many fields defined. But I am only adjusting size of an existing field.
I have a list of events and what the out come was on a particular day or date.
To give you some idea, the event is basically number given to a day and the outcome is all possible things that “could happen” and that did happen (so not all 160 possible Outcomes are used all the time).
So it is quite possible to have:
Event 1 (This could be “Monday”) Outcome 12 (This could be “Rain”)
Therefore as you collect your data over time the “Outcome Diff” would = 12
The problem comes when I try to create a report to automatically calculate the “Outcome Diff” this in a Query as the “counter” that should have been added at the time this was created was not done at the time. I also do not mind if this has to involve creating to a table, as long as I get the “outcome diff” calculated in MS Access, I do not mind how this is done. I also cannot use date diff as event mean more than just an index for the day.
Event, Outcome, Date, Outcome Diff 12, 1, 14-Feb-95, 12 (0 to 12 = 12) i.e this is the 1st event outcome of 1 22, 1, 19-Apr-95, 10 (12 to 22 = 10) i.e this is the 2nd event outcome of 1 29, 4, 07-Jun-95, 29 (0 to 29 = 29) i.e this is the 1st event outcome of 29 34, Ect... *This is just a representation with test data.
Just for further clarification: the reason this is need this is to find out difference in "event" days as opposed to just an average.
I have a flat file sent to me today that contains a number of fields with the same issue. As an example, I have a field named Coordinators from a table named Audit and the data within it is formatted as follows:
Mark Hollings;#14664;#Judy Thompson;#10169;#Tammy Wilson;#3608;#Tim Levy;#2785;#David Simpson;#1251
Is there any way to extract only the names while leaving in either the ";" or replacing it with a ","? My desired output would look like this:
Mark Hollings;Judy Thompson;Tammy Wilson;Tim Levy;David Simpson
This field can be populated with one or more names so that's a variable in all of this as well.
Someone decided to be clever and send a text file with a stupid date format, is it possible to show off a little here and get a working date format, it's a text file I am working with: Dec 18 2014 01:12PM.
Not that is an exactly cut/paste so spaces are as they are here, ideally would like to get 18/12/14 13:12.
I'm trying to import data from our current Database Pro v1.0 DB to an Access DB that I'm creating.
Our DBPRO is essentially a flat-file data entry program. It has a "subform" for history events that isn't actually in it's own table, but all concatenated in a single [History] field.
Basically, when viewed in DBPRO, it's broken into different records, yet it's actually stored as one. DBPRO uses °, ±, □, and 0's to separate the different "fields", but Access can't seem to break it down automatically.
When I export the data to a CSV file, everything else comes through with minimal problems. The [History] field, of course, comes in as a huge block of concatenated records.
I've attached an example of this below. I included only the field in question, ([History]), and the primary key, ([Last Name/Cust]). The first tab in my example is a single record, recently imported. The second tab shows how I need it to be, broken into multiple records.
Is there anyway I can split these records, while maintaining the primary key? It's my goal to have all the other information in one table, and the history records in a separate one.
Thanks so much for your help! I've researched all over, and just can't seem to find a similar problem, or solution. :(
What I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
Bit of a nightmare, put loads of information into my database, and when i look in the table all information is still there but can not get it to be displayed in my form, what has gone wrong??
I am attempting to place a label on the top of a tabbed form and I am having a problem. Here are the important parts of my database:
tblInstructors InstructorID Autonumber PK RankID FK to tbl Ranks LastName FirstName
tblRanks RankID Autonumber PK Rank
I have a tabbed form with a combo box for RankID and text boxes for FirstName and LastName. Obviously there is more information than this on this form, it is tabbed and I would like a label on top of the form that shows the name and rank of the person's record that is being edited or viewed while the user is on another tab. Normally I would use =[RankID] & "" & [FirstName] & "" & [LastName], however this isn't working since the RankID control is passing the Autonumber from tblRanks instead of the actual rank (yes this is military rank abbreviation). For example I get the number six instead of TSGT. I need to find a way to show the text value instead of the autonumber that represents it.
I have searched to the best of my abilities to find anything on this forum about this as I am sure it has come up before but have been unable to find anything.

I've got a form that has certain information and I would like to be capable of clicking on a button entitled "add a client". When that button is pressed I would like another form to open and provide a search query asking for the client's name. When I hit okay I want a list of clients to be viewed based on a partial search. Once I have found the one I want I want to be able to click/do something to get me back to the original form. At this time, all the client information all will be put on the form and introduced to that particular table row.
If you have any questions regarding what I just said please ask.
Okay, here's a question that should hopefully be simple. I have a form that I am setting the default value of two text boxes based on the form previous. Here's basically the rundown of what happensfrmForm1Input Month: FebruaryInput Year: 2012OK - Opens frmForm2 and then closes this one---------frmForm2Month_Default_Value: #Name?Year_Default_Value: 2012---------And this always happens for every month and every year. So could you tell me what could possibly be wrong with my "Month" default value? Here's the code...Private Sub Form_Load()Month_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Month]Year_Query = [Forms]![frmStatementDialog]![Year]Me.Month.DefaultValue = Month_QueryMe.Year.DefaultValue = Year_QueryEnd SubThanks!--Mike
I have a patient information database which uses a filtered form to show records for only one patient at a time. All the records in the database are linked together using one number, the patient's unique identifier.
I have designed a report which draws information from separate tables and generates a complete summary of information. This report depends on having the ID number of the patient to generate the report.
Originally, I had envisioned having a command button on the data entry form, which would then automatically take the ID number from the form, and generate the report. Though good in theory, it never worked out in practice, as I could never figure out how to make it happen.
Is there a way to design a macro or some other thing that would take the ID number from the field on the form, and use it to generate the report? Currently, I have it configured to prompt me for the ID number. When I enter it manually, the report is generated perfectly.
I have created Form1 with a button and after I click the button Form2 appears (frm_Rollover_Progress). Form2 is a (poor mans) progress indicator that makes some labels visible after a section of a query has run. I have set the first label on the form to Me.lblProgress1.Visible = True but I keep coming up with Compile Error - Method or data member not found. However, when I put a button on the second form and copy in the exact same code then Me.Label1.Visible = True works. I have tried to SetFocus to an item on Form2 but still does not work.
'Open progress form to show progress indicator DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Rollover_Progress", acNormal, , , acFormReadOnly
I a a new user to Access having only every ceate a couple of small databases using the wizards. I have just started a database where I have created my tables and I am now creating a form to display information. The problem that I am having is that when in Design mode I can see all the information and fields that I have used to create the form, however when i save the form then opening in display mode I do not see any of the fields, revert back to design mode and hey are all there.
I have a form with payment information and need a list, what date the payments are due. These can be only 2 or 3 payments up to maybe 24 payments. The result I want is something like this:
Date Amount Total paid 1.7. 500.00 500.00 1.8. 500.00 1,000.00
The list itself is not a problem, but I need a list who only shows the number of payments as agreed, 2 lines (with paydates) if 2, 12 if 12 payments. I have the information of the total amount, the number of installments and the first payment date.
I am totally new to access and i want to be able to extract information from my database using a form. Basically I am using the database to generate a bill of materials. I have a product that has many different options. SO I want ot select a checkbox on a form for a particular option and hten have that extract the correct data from the DB into a report or spreadsheet.
I'm making a customer survey database. Also be aware I'm not proficient with access.
All the customer information is being imported from an excel spreadsheet. That will include ServiceRecordID, ServiceDate, TechID, CustName, ServLocation, PhoneNum, and DeptID.
Another table will include records for answers to 5 questions that will be asked by a manager on the phone. That table is called TblQuestions. This table will also have ServiceRecordID to go with the answers.
What I'm trying to do is create a Form that at the top has a box for ServiceRecordID. I'd like to be able to type in the Number for that ID, and then all the information shows up on the form for that specific ID. And below all that, fields to add the answers to TblQuestions for that specific ServiceRecordID.
The reason I'm doing this is because the manager will get a report with the customer information that needs a follow up call. So I want them to be able to call up that information on the screen with the ServiceRecordID number, and also be able to add in the information that they get back from the customer with the questions that will be asked.
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with this. But I'm not experienced with access or VBA both.
This im sure is an easyone to most of you but for me I cant find away around my problem!!
I have a form I use to enter infomation and I have also made a report that I am trying to get the infomation from the form onto the report.
I would like to have a command button on the form that once I click it, it then prints out the report. How do I get the information from a form to a report as when I have tried doing this myself it only allows me to use information from a query or table.
