Hi Guys,
I am really stuck here. For some reason I am not able to link tables together.
I am not sure if i have separated the tables correctly.
The Employees are related to the ODF number
Here's what I want to happen
2 tables
Employee
- LastName
- FirstName
- Extension
ODFNumber
- Queue
- ScanDate
- Status
- SentDate
Please help.
Also, I am having problems with creating the forms
I want to be able to just enter the ODF number and know what the status is and who is processing it.
Thank you very much.

I have a database which I have written for part of my coursework for school. However I have a small comany interested in it, I have added security to it using the wizard in access and what I would like to be able to do now is to be able to see when each user has logged in and logged out so I can track how much use it has had when I go to carry out maintance on it.
I know this one might be pushing it but I would also like it to say what each user has accessed while they have been logged on.
Do any of you know how to do this? or could you give me some pointers about were to start?
I would like to keep track of 5 seperate funds (or stocks) by price, daily change, total change...etc.
I was thinking of having a table with date as the primary key containing the daily price of each fund. I will enter the prices into this table manually every day.
A second table will automatically makes appropriate calculations and save these changes on a daily basis based on the date. With no user input.
Is this possible?
Can I have the second table automatically grab the dates from the first table? Would the second table use date as primary key for calculations?
Thanks,

I'm currently attempting to setup a small database to track a few things for the company I work for, namely attendance. Currently they use an excel spreadsheet that covers the current year. This worked great for them when they were still a small company, but with the number of employees shooting from 50'ish to a couple hundred the spreadsheet is just not a viable option any more.
What I need is suggestions on the best way(s) to go about implementing this.
First, I need to do a 1 year look back, on a montly level is fine. So from January 2008 back to January 2007 will work fine. What i have currently setup is a form with 12 of the basic Calender controls built into access 2003. Unfortunatley these wont quite work.
Basic layout of my database so far will be an employees info table, a lookup table for Attendance codes and their infraction values and an attendance (or I suppose more technically an absence) table. I would like to have a form that displays a calendar view for the last 12 months, that will allow me to view / update any absences for an employee. I would also like a way to insert company holidays / shutdowns in to the attendance table in a way that marks it on any employees calendar as a scheduled day off. I assumed i could do this with a simple "all" employee along with the dates and have the calendar search for entries with the Employee ID as well as the All flag and mark those on the calendar.
I think if i can just get the calendar setup covered I can figure out the rest of the data aspects, I'm just stuck on finding a decent way to implement the Calendar Aspect.
Thanks in advance!
I've been asked to come up with a method of tracking outbound calls for my company. This is a new job for me and I'm aiming to impress.. but I'm a touch out of my element so I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here.
I've found this starting point: [URL] .....
But I'm having difficulty conforming it to function the way I need it to. Basically, I want the applet to
-store the employees name
-store customer names that were called
-a checkbox for whether or not an appointment was set
-a textfield storing an appointment date/time [if applicable]
-four radiobuttons to select which area of the business the call pertains to
The employees would submit new values everyday, and ideally I would like the data to be accessible in a real time line graph.. I totally assumed this would have been done and redone before and that there would be a plethora of templates to choose from online, but for the most part my search has been fruitless and the only solid lead is the one posted above.
I am currently preparing a time tracker in my office where there are similar task assigned to different users.
I created a form and split it for front end user and back end user. front end database was copied by each user in their local. However problem is that whenever a front end user update their database it is also reflected in other users database. Is their anyway front end user can see their database only....
My Main Table in my Database is "Quotation", what do i need to do in order to create a new Main Table called "Quotation Tracker" and "Quotation" would now be under "Quotation Tracker"
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
Browsing the all of the existing records is fine.
Hi Guys,
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.
Any suggestion guys & gals?
Many thanks

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
I am trying to stop access displaying the "You are about Update 1 Record" etc message when i run an update query. I know i can do this in Tools/Options screen but the problem is that the database is going to be used by multiple users, and rather than changing each persons Action query option I was wondering whether there is something i can put in to the code Globally to halt the message.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to remove random characters from a field. The field [assycode] contains a string similar to say, FGEJBF1 or ABFGYRUKC I want to remove any occurrence of "F1" normally at the end of the string but not always at the end. I used: Like "*f1*" to find the correct records, that worked fine, I then used [Assycode]-" f1" in the update to box, It wants to update 146 records I click ok then it says It couldn't due to a type conversion error. Just messing around I tried adding "F1" to these records using [Assycode]+" f1" and it worked fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

I have a database where two tables contain information that I need to update based on the 4 right most digits of a field. There are only 11 values that will need to be updated out of a large list of values. I'm not quite sure how to set up the update query so that I can do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
I have two tables, each has a "status" for a project. In the left table there is only one instance of each set, but in the right hand table, each set may be used more than once by different Projects.
I need the Status field of the left table to be set to "Assigned" if ANY of the sets assigned to projects in the right hand table are "Assinged"
Here is the update query I have setup but when it runs, it updates "0" rows.
8 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the SetStatus table
2 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the Status table.

Hi,
I read on the Access help about the 'Before Update' property; however, I still don't understand what it does.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi:
After I made the query "T1",
I made another query "T2", but this query need query "T1" to work with.
So, when I change the query name from "T1" to "table1", I need to open the query "T2" to add the "table1" and remove the "T1" and change the table name in the query.
So, how can I update the query name? Because "T1" is same "table1' query. I just change the name, change name cause another query does't work. How can I update the query info.?
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
Two Tables:
module
workbook2
UPDATE workbook2 INNER JOIN [module] ON workbook2.ID = module.ID SET workbook2.bankimpid = module.BAImpID
WHERE ((([BASortCode])=[Sortcode]));
Any ideas why this changes 0 records when some records contain the same data in BASortCode and Sortcode??
Cheers
I can never get this right and it's frustrating.
I have a field on the form called OverallProjectStatus - it's a combo box and it has values: green, yellow, red.
If a user selects green as a value I would like BackColor of the form to turn green color.
I tried both before update and after update events on this combo box as well as on the form's before and after update events and it's not working.
Could someone please help me put this code in the right place.
If Me.OverallProjectStatus = "Green" Then
BackColor = 13434828
End If
Thanks!
Can someone tell me if this is the correct/best way to do this.
I have a calculated field "savings". It is calculated on the AfterUpdate event of the "month" field.
I have 2 text boxes (std cost & quoted cost) that have manually entered amounts and one combo with "modules" To get the savings calculation my code looks at the month selected then the module selected in my query and sums up the volumes.
It then multiplies the volume X the std cost minus the quoted cost.
Std Cost Quoted cost Dif Volume Savings
3.00 1.5 1.5 200 $300
Anytime any of the four fields change (std cost, quoted cost, module or month) I need the Savings field to recalculate.
My first thought is that I need to put in the same code calculating the savings in the AfterUpdate event of all of these.
Is that the case? What better way is there?
Thanks!
I have a form that has a combo box, once a user selects the required entry it the form performs several tasks after update.
If the required entry isnt listed the user clicks on the add button which opens a form to fill in the necessary details for that entry. Once complete the user clicks on the save button and the form closes updating the combo box on the previous form. But the after update tasks do not happen.
I have tried things like....
[Forms]![Frm1].reload
[Forms]![Frm1].refresh
etc
But cant seem to get it to work. Any ideas?? Thanks
Hey Guys,
I had a problem a while ago about changing the value in one field and having it update a different field in another table.
I have a table Order Details where I want the user to be able to select a quantity when ordering a particular shoe.
I then want a field named UnitsOnOrder in a table Products to update its value based on the amount ordered by the user in the quantity box in the other table.
The Order Details table is a subform not that it makes any difference.
I started receiving help by a Mr M Walts, but he hasnt been around for ages and I'm so very deperate for a fix as the code isnt working correctly and I've no idea how to fix it.
Private Sub Quantity_AfterUpdate()
'will hold the SQL which will update the Products table
Dim strSQL As String
'will hold the new total quantity after the change
Dim intChange As Integer
'see if the quantity had a previous value, might have to seperate into two
'nested if's if it gives an error on the second part of the condition
'when OldValue is null. It might
If Not IsNull(Quantity.OldValue) And (Not Quantity.OldValue = "") Then
'ok, there is a previous value, let's see which is bigger
'the change will be the new value - the old value
intChange = Quantity.Value - Quantity.OldValue
'ok, now we have the value that needs to be added to the
'quantity, if the old value was bigger then it will be negative
'which is what we want
Else
'if there was no old value, then all the really need to do is get the
'new value as the change
intChange = Quantity.Value
End If
'ok, now we create our SQL statement.
strSQL = "UPDATE Products " & _
"SET Products.UnitsOnOrder = UnitsOnOrder + " & intChange & _
"WHERE Products.ProductID = " & ProductID.Value '<- or whatever your control on the form is
'called that is bound to your productID field in
'the order details sub-form
'now we have created the SQL we need, time to run it
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
'uncomment the next line to see the SQL that was generated
'debug.print strSQL
'that should do it for the first one, and it should give you an idea of how to carry on
End Sub
That is the code. I get an error message upon leaving the field sayin 'one of the required parameters is missing'
Any ideas?
Any help greatly appreciated. I'm way behind the rest of my I.C.T class as they have al finished their projects.
Surely somebody knows the answer
THanks in advance

I have a customer table with all the usual customer details (customer ID, name, address etc...), a transaction table (Transaction ID, Order Number, Customer ID, Title ID, Date, Status (order received, payment taken, ready for dispatch etc...)), and i have a Title table (Title ID, Artist ID, Name, Record Label, Quantity, etc...)
what would be the easiest way to update the title table everytime a new transaction was added to tblTransaction so that the quantity field in tblTitle would go down by one for the right title?
Hi All,
I have a combo box on my form that is retrieving its list of values from a table. After I choose a value I want to write it to another table's field. I can get this to work where it is writing to the other table's field, but when I open the form to see the field of where the information is supposed to be writen to it is not refreshing. What property on the combo box should I used to ensure that the field of the other table is instaneously updated when the combo box's value is chosen.
Thanks
Greg
