Updating Information Into A Field Automativcally ?
Jul 30, 2006
Hi Folks
I’m a newbie here, so as usual it’s always followed by a plea for help.
I’m From Scotland (live in Engerland)
I used to dabble with access in 95 and I can see it’s changed quite a bit.
I need a logging system for keeping details of faults that we have passed to various departments/
When we send an email I want the guys in my team to update the database with what ever they have sent. (This willbe a cut and paste action)
I want the database to have each entry with the following format
=============================
Updated by Jimmy at 19:33 on 27/7/06
I email John the following information:-
BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH
=============================
So everything in red above , is what will be pasted by the NEW Update buton, It will put the username , date and time of the update in between some other charaters (============) so that when we print the record as a report we can easily see all the updates as they will be between the dotted lines etc
So they are just update the same field all the time, appending data to the top of the record.
So maybe when the database starts it will ask the user his name, so that if makes any updates, it will use this name that he entered in. The date and time ect are the date and time, at the time of the new entry.
I made an example database and you can see a screenshot below:-
I am making a website, and I am using ASP. In one of my pages, the script connects to a Access database, retrieves the information, and writes it to the page. I made some changes in the database, but they're not showing up on the page. Any suggestions?
I have made a form based on a query that pulls information from 4-5 tables. I would like to be able to change information in those 4-5 tables by using that form, but I am unable to do it. I opened up the properties for the form and set "data entry" and "Allow edits" and "allow additions" and "allow subtractions" all to YES. That didn't help.
Is it possible to do this, since the form is based on a query? I couldn't figure out a good way to set up the form getting the information directly from the four tables. I'm not sure why it's been so difficult.
I have one table full of all of the various titles I have. The tables are related using those titles, and each table has a different sort of information for each record. So, the "main" table is "ALL TITLES," but when I go make a form, I can't get ALL TITLES to be the controlling table. It's very frustrating. But a query works beautifully--I just can't change anything.
(I would like to have the form be a "user-friendly" way for people to make changes.)
I have a mainform in access with a subform (continous form mode). The subform's source is a query that has a criteria parameter that gets the values from a combobox in mainform.(list of projects) Combobox name= cmbProject
It works fine for some records (old records), so when I migrate new data into the table the comboxbox display the new data but when I select the record to be dispayed on the subform, the record or data is not in the subform, so the record is in blank.
Now, in the amendment field, I've inserted a combo box, with 3 options in it. Let's say option A,B and C...The thing I want access to do, is, when option C is selected, I want fields Period, Salary and Shift to be automatically "Yes".But if option A or B is selected, the the user must choose what the other fields are going to be either Yes or No
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
Using Access 2010. Fairly new to automation and macros.I have two tables (tblProductReceived and tblBins) and a form (frmProductReceived).A field in tblBins corresponds to a location the bin is at (named BinLocationID) and the tblProductReceived table tracks product that a specific bin has received.
What I need is for the tblProductReceived field PRLocationID ([tblProductReceived].[PRLocationID]) to be automatically populated with where the bin is at ([tblBins].[BinLocationID]) when selecting a specific bin in the form (frmProductReceived).
Two tables, in one there are Items and services, in the other purchases.
1st table: ID - autonumber primary key Product Name - Text Quantity - Number Barcode - Text
2ndt table: ID - autonumber primary key Product Name - Text Quantity - Number Barcode - Text Client - Text Puchase Date - Date
How can I enter data to my 2nd table using unique fields (barcode, Product name actually ID in 1st table?) Problem Is Access alows only 1 unique key field in table and that is undertandable. Is there any way out in my situation.
barcode will be entered using barcode scanner it can be only text field but information like product name must fill in automatically, Product name must be drop down box if one wan't to select it manually then barcode should fill in automatically.
Please Attach your DB if you have time to look into this issue.
I know this is a simple question. I searched but could not find what I was looking for. Or it is handled in differently than what I am thinking. I have a field where I enter a dollar amount. But if I do not enter a dollar amount the field displays $0.00. How can I make this field blank if no dollar amount is entered.
We have created a program with Access and we have all our records in it. We created a field and we need to find a way to have all our existing records use default information to automatically populate that field.
Table A contains a list of Projects that evolve over time. Example:
Table A ID Project Name Comment Comment Date __________________________________________________ ________ 1 Name 1 Comment 1.1 12/22/13 2 Name 2 Comment 2.1 12/20/13 3 Name 3 Comment 3.1 12/02/13
Now, let's say that Table A changes over time - just with the Comment portion. Example:
Table A ID Project Name Comment Comment Date __________________________________________________ ________ 1 Name 1 Comment 1.2 01/20/14 2 Name 2 Comment 2.2 02/14/14 3 Name 3 Comment 3.2 01/02/14
Obviously, I would use an Update query to override the previous information.
But let's say that I want to preserve the previous information for historical use? How would I set this up?
I have 2 tables, "Counselors" and "Appeals". There are several names in the Counselor table but it is not a fixed number of names (rows) usually around 7. There is also some variable number of records in the Appeals table, could be 0, could be 50, depending on the day.
I need to, in a round robin fashion, assign the counselor names one by one to the records in the Appeals table. How to loop through the 2 tables and update the name field in the Appeals table with the name in the Counselor table.
I have a field "Permit_Date_Expired" field automatically is created by adding one year to the "Permit_Date_Issued" field.
when the "Permit_Date_Expired" field exceeds TODAYS() date I want it to automatically change the field "Permit_Holder" to say Expired is this possible?
I have a DB to keep track of my employees. I have one table with named EmployeeT with the basic information like name, address, phone number, etc. And another table named EmployeeHistoryT which tell me about there hisorty in the company, basically, If they were Late, did not show up, cancelled from that day. They share a relationship threw the employee ID. IN the history table, I have DateofAction:, TypeOfAction:, and Description:. In the type of action area I have it set to were you type in what they did, wether it be Late, Did not Show up, Cancelled, etc. I want to be able to get a total about of Late, Cancels, etc. I want to know that John Smith was Late 16 times, cancelled 10 times, and Did not show up 2 times. Is this possible with only one feild.
I have an historical database table that contains information relating to soldiers. Additionally I have many photographs, and other documents appertaining to these individual soldiers stored in folders on my PC hard drive and I would like ideally, to be able to have a link from my database to these other items, so that when I open a a soldiers record I am able to click on a link that will take me to a folder containing the photographs, letters and further documents relating to him.
However this is where I am at a loss as to how to proceed, and how I could have this facility, I run Access 2007 by the way.
How can I create an alert message to tell the user that there are an existing work order number in the table? I don't want it to restrict the entry, just inform the user that there is an existing work order number, do they want to continue.
Btw, the code will be attached to a combo box (cbowonum).
My idea is to have a field in my table that have ratings for example - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

If it isn't is there any other way i can make this?

I have a Contact table and imported data into it from another Access Contact table. All but one field inserted correctly - the "Notes" field from the table I was importing FROM was inserted into the WebPage field of my current table. So now I am trying to update my Notes field in the Contact table from the WebPage field in the Contact table - or move the data over rather. I created an update query but when I try to run it it is asking for the Notes and WebPage parameters.
My report is grouped by a Billing Group #...within each billing group there are sub invoice numbers that are tied to the main billing group # (they all have the same billing group # but different general invoice numbers). I need to pull data if one of the general invoice # invoice dates is greater than or equal to a specific date entered.
In other words: If a Billing Group # and one of the Invoice Dates is greater than or equal to a specific date entered then pull ALL GROUP data to report.
I am trying to create a report that will show me any record that does NOT have a specific field met. I have a basic query set up to display the information desired, but need it to refine the search to just the records missing a specific part in a different table. The missing information does not have to be shown in the report.
