Bear with me, im just starting to learn Access and don't have firm grip on terminology or anything like that. With that said.
I have a Table name Products, that has a field called ProductID which is set as the primary key ( its not an autonumber ). The field is numbered 1-245 with each number representing a product.
What i would like to do is update the numbers when i add a new product.
For Example, when i add a product between numbers 2 and 3 i would like the new product to be numbered 3, while the rest of the numbers autoupdate, 3 updates to 4, 4 to five etc. If theres a way to do this I would appreciate help finding out how.
Thanks in Advance.
Im trying to make a query which will allow me to run a query update so that all my listings will get a new random number generated for them,
Ive got it selecting any listing with a ID of >0 (so basically thats all of the listings)
What id like it to do is then assign a random number to the randsort field, (prefer a number like 0.812 or 0.342 etc etc)
To start with ive tried using the Rnd feature, but its updating all the listings with exactly the same number (though granted the number changes each time the query is run)
I see in some of the other comments regarding rnd that you may need to put a randomize statement somewhere,
Im very new to programming in access and was just wondering am I on the right track, and if so where abouts should i declare the randomize code since its in a query?
Thanks for your time and look forward to your replies Cheers Ezy
Access doesn't seem to recognize the values in a table I am updating. I am using an update query to revise prices in a column Titled "Price". I am comparing the prices in the Price column to the prices in another column with a simple IIF statement (i.e., IIF([Price]=[Column2Price],"Yes","No"). However, oddly, the formula produces a "No" result, even when the prices are plainly the same values, and all formatting for both columns is the same. Whenever I manually type over the price with the same value, the formula works and Access seems to work as intended. For example, I simply type "12.95" over the same value that is displaying in the column that I updated that is already showing "12.95". Then, after I do that, the formula works and produces a "Yes" value.
I have a query it correctly displays output as i require. i want to update/store the output query to a table named ustate. my query is as under
Code: SELECT Auth.nit, UC+UL+UC AS Aut, (select count(NO) from Pers where nit=Auth.nit and rOrd>4) AS Present, (SELECT COUNT(no) FROM pers WHERE nitFrom = auth.nit) AS DIn, (SELECT COUNT(no) FROM pers WHERE nitTo = auth.nit) AS DOut, Present-Dout+Din AS Held FROM Auth WHERE (((Auth.Type)='tata')) ORDER BY Auth.nit;
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:]) Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*") Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
I have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1 1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.
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.
My brain has locked up, I just added a field to an existing db and I need to to hold exactly 8 intergers / numbers; typically the first few numbers are 0's, but the 0 do not display; still using 97, what is the field size/format/ going to be?
Not sure if this is easy or not, I have searched the forum but am not finding what I am looking for. I need to see if there is a way, in a query to extract data specific to either even or odd numbers. So if I have a field on a table with data like this:A01AA02AA03AA04AA05AA06AI want to pull just the even or odd numbered values.Any ideas??
Is there a way to write a query where it will only capture numbers? For example, if I have the following:
"Testing transactions 11100202020 in the following order"
What I would like to do is capture the numbers that is in the middle of the sentence. I have tried using the len, left, mid, right functions in my expressions, but the sentence length may change from time to time. Is ther a way to tell access to only capture the numbers?
The database that I will be referring to in this querstion ws developed to help track interviews at a local helth care facility (dates, times, location, ethnicity, age, state etc.)
I am trying to develop a few queries to pull certain information out this database. Specifically I am trying to pull out information in NUMBER or % format. Currently I can only figure out how to pull out the information that is currently listed. For example: We have had 57 interviews come into the door this month. All of these inteviews are going to different areas and they all are of different ethnic origin and all have an age difference. When I go to query how many total interviews we have had, I am getting names and not numbers. When I try to query how many different ethnicities have been interviewed, I still get names attached to what ethnicity they are.....so on and so forth. What I would like to do is turn these names into statistics or numbers. Is there any way to query this information and get it to come out in number format? The following is an example of different metrics that I am trying to get from this database.How many total out of state interviews per monthThe number of interviews per state per monthHow many african americans interviews peer per month, how many pacific islander interviewed per month, how many hispanic interviews per month........etcHow many internal candidates iterviewed per month/How many external candidates interviewed per month.The information entered into my fields are not entered in a numercial format. They are intered as names, places, dates, times, etc....My question is can I query this information in such a way that I can generate a report that would allow me to view it in numerical formatAny help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you soooo much!!!!!
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers
I get an error "update or cancel update without add new or edit" which seems to point to this code.I am using MS Access 2010.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) 'Store when record was last modified and by who. 'Initially stores when the record was entered. If Me.NewRecord = True Then Exit Sub 'Exit if new record Me.DateLastModified.Value = Now() Me.LastModifiedBy.Value = getUser() End Sub
Hello,I am new here and new to Access. I have started to build a database that will be for storing the results of horse races. However my problem arises when inputting the weight a horse carries.
The weight can be input as, for example, 11.12 or 11.00 or 10.10 however whilst I have no problem with 11.12 the other two appear as 11 and 10.1 is there any way round this.
i want to have a position field that will say which position the runner finished in. This is complecated as there are many different races.
At the moment the best thing ive been able to do is set up a query with a parameter on the race no. then the time taken is put in order and i have to manually put in the positions.
Manual is bad!
does any one have any idea about how i could make this automatic.
Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
I have 8 databases (A97) (don't even ask me why) they are identical. I want to combine all the tables from them into one big table. There are two tables 1 called Transactions and it has a transactionID (number) (parent of DetailID) and the other table is called Detail and it has a DetailID (number) (Child of TransactionID). The problem is in all 8 databases the transactionID is an autonumber starting at 1 so I will have duplicate TransactionID & DetailID numbers. Each of the databases comes from one of eigh different "Regions" of our company and we assign Region numbers I can use as a prefix to the transID/detailID. I tried to put a "25" (region#) in front of the one of the TransID# by using the format property in the table design and that seems to act as some sort of gost because while you can see it in datasheet view when you click on the cell the "25" disapears and all you can see is transID#1...#2....and it also gets dropped on paste append to the new combined table. The question: is there an easy way to put a region number prefix on transID# so I can merge all 8 transaction tables together into one combined table?
Can you please help me out--give me some guidance-if you have knowledge about random numbers. Say, for instance, I have 2,000 records and I want to randomly create a final list with 800 of these records, how do I go about it? Thanks.
Soon I'll be starting a new DB which will be used to issue receipts to people who attend courses run by a business. I don't want or need it to be very complicated so was thinking a something like the following; TblClient (ID,client name & address fields) TblCourse (ID,Date, course name & Price fields)
Each client will eventually have numerous (many) Course records because they often complete more than one course, over many years. When I issue clients with Receipts I want each receipt to have a unique receipt number. On each receipt I will need the Client name, Price paid, date(s) & course name(s) with the unique receipt number. How can I impliment the receipt number?
