Is their a way to highlight a feild. I am using the duplicate function but after the record is duplicated their are certain feilds that have to be changed, how can i highlight them somehow. ANy ideas??? The feild is Price???
The situation I am in at the moment is that I have a database for a company who does work at different building sites. I have created a database so that it has the date the work was completed. With this company in particular the last possible dates of payment are 30 or 60 days after the work was completed, depending on the work. I would like to know how I would be able to create a calculated field that would display the first day that the payment is late.
i want to update data fields (time fields) in a table based on a number input by user (so it will search for record in table using the number and then update the relevant fields)....How can i do this am quiete confused there PLEASE DO HELP
I have have 2 feilds in my database, there can be the same value in one feild but not both.....for example say NAME and ADDRESS i can have the same NAME for more then one entery and i can have the same ADDRESS for more then one entery but i cant have the same NAME And the same ADDRESS....anyone know how to do this? :confused:
Im having a problem with controling duplicate records in a table
i want to allow duplicates in all feilds individually, but not if 3 feilds are the same in more than one record. (ei. if the entries in a1,b1,c1 are equal to entries in a2,b2,c2; prevent the second record from being entered)
so far, i've writen a macro to identify duplicates in an existing table, but i dont know how to delete records, or access values being entered in a form
1. Cat NA 2. Dog NA 3. Rat NA 4. Bat NA 5. Garfield NA
table: felines 1. Cat 2. Garfield 3. Simba
what I want to do is:
UPDATE animals.field3 (which starts off as NA's) to "meow" if animals.field2 matches any item in felines.field2.
it is a recursive operation and I'm not sure how to do it
here is what the animals table should look like if the UPDATE query runs as it should
1. Cat Meow 2. Dog NA 3. Rat NA 4. Bat NA 5. Garfield Meow
Any help would be great! I prefer SQL view of the UPDATE query if anyone knows how to do this. Note: I like cats and dogs equally, this is just to learn how to do such an update.
Hi, I'm trying to create a table which needs some feilds to be automatically filled up when the control goes to it. Say my table has feilds, "size" and "result". In each row, the result cell should be filled up corresponding to the size value of that row. This needs to be looked up from an existing table.
Hi, not sure if this is possible or the most economical approach but here goes:
I have a lookup table (tblHolidays) with a list of holiday dates (fieldname "HolidayDate") in it.
I need an update query that can check all "StartDate" values on a table called "tblMasterLog" and where this date matches the ones on "tblHolidays", will add 1 day to the "StartDate" and then keep repeating until there are no more dates to change.
I have several lookup tables in an Access database. These tables are used to populate fields in the main table and act as filters for viewing record subsets.I want to create a form that does the following:
1.) List the lookup table via a combobox.I was able to accomplish this with the following code:
Code: SELECT MSysObjects.Name AS [Table Name] FROM MSysObjects WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name) Like "tblJob*") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0)) ORDER BY MSysObjects.Name;
2.) When a table is selected from the combobox, display the table in a subform for updating.
I have two tables, one table (1) hold three fields, one of those fields is the master key (index). The other table (2) has a field which I want to lookup from table 1, that part is working. In the combo box I get all three fields displayed as I make my selection. I want to copy the other two fields as text at the time the lookup index is selected. I do not what the fields to automatically update each time the table is displayed. I have looked at update macros, I've looked at VBA.
Is it possible to run an update query to increment the value in a lookup field on all records, if the values are not numerical?
For example if the look up field contains Unit A, Unit B etc? can a query be executed so that anything with Unit A will be set to Unit B, and Unit B records will be set to Unit C?
I have been struggling with this and would appreciate any help. It sounds so simple!!! I have 4 fields (Unit Price 1, Unit Price 2, Unit Price 3, Unit Price 4) in a Orders table that I want to add together and store in a 5th field (Sub Total) in the same table using a form. I am having problems with the sum and I am unsure how to get it to show in the Sub Total box in the form as well as the table. Thanks for your help!!
I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.
However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.
I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.
But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.
Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.
For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?
Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?
So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS: ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer) ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS: ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer) FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.) FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen) CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS] from PRODUCTS where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
My membership database has worked fine until recently. Now I cannot save inserted data. On attempted saving "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" appears.
The problem. relates to 2 tables Member and Addresses. PK in the parent table Member is ID. In the Addresses Table the FK is ID. There is a One to One relation between the tables and Referential Integrity is set. I know 1 to 1 is not good but it worked fine in this small database.
I have an Invoice & Address file I want to know how I can for example enter customer number in the Invoice file and get the information form Address file in the Invoice file.
Hi all Im trying to create a database where one field has a lookup to another field in another table (easy enough done) the the next field in the first table has another lookup, however the items the user can select change dependent on what was selected in the first feild eg: SelectA -A1 -A2 SelectB -B1 -B2 So the user can only select B1 in the second field if SelectB was picked in the first field
I wonder if anyone can help. I have 2 tables. Table1 (lookup table)has 2 fields: 'rate' and a 'minimum amount'. The rate applies to a range of values eg up to 1000,rate=20, up to 5000, rate = 22 etc. Table 2 has 3 fields: 'UniqueID', 'current_rate', 'amount'. The 'amount' field in table 2 increases on a monthly basis and when this reaches the next amount threshold (in Table1), the 'current_rate' needs to be updated in table 2 to the appropriate value. I have searched this forum and Dlookup seems looks to be the only way to do it. However, I think this only returns one result and some of the suggested solutions use a form to input the 'amount', when I have many entries that need to be updated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
i'm sure this must be pretty simple but when i search for lookup i keep finding stuff about translating names into numeric id's which is not what i mean
what i have is a table TBL_EnergySavings with these fields
IDFuel, IDProperty, IDMeasure, EnergySaving
its a lookup table so that given the three ID numbers (of a type of energy saving measure like loft insulation, installed in a certain type of property which uses a certain type of fuel) we can say how much energy is typically saved in GWhrs
I have another table of installed measures (jobs) which has property type, fuel type and measure type amongst its fields and what i need to do is to fill in a column in that table with the energy saved by each measure
so how do i look up the relavant record from TBL_EnergySavings?
Hi, im fairly new to access. im creating my 2nd access project for my 2nd year of A levels and i need a bit of help with lookups on a form im using
heres a screenshot of the form

What i want is for when you select an option from the category combo box, for the sub category to have limited options. Example: i choose Drinks from the main category combo, the sub category combo will only have a list of types of drinks available.
This has probably been posted before, but to be honest i didnt know what to search for.
