Urgent Assistance Required - **Beginner**
Jul 21, 2006
Hopefully someone can assist me. For an advanced user, this will probably take only few minutes.
We have conducted a survey online and now need to analyse the data. As the online questionaire is about 25 pages long and about 20 Managers were asked to fill out. Each manager had to describe the different positions they maintain for example, Business Analyst, Business Consultant, Postion description ..... Now the results are trickling in, its pretty tedious to go through each response one by one and compare how many common job functions there are....
It has been suggested to build a dB in MSAccess with the "questions" that were asked and upload all the responses from the online questionaire to the dB. The online questionaire & responses from each individual has been converted to excel flat files.
Can some one assist me in building the dB with the ability to upload the excel flat files one by one.
The point of this exercise is so that the analysis of the result process is not cumbersome.
Hopefully I am making sense?

Hi all,
I am a novice database user, having only ever used simple databases.
I need to produce a database which stores the path to images.
I want to design a database with a table of Items with fields such as :-
ItemID
ItemName
ItemDesc
ItemCategory
ItemPhoto
each item may have many photos of the item, but I will not know the exact amount, although probably less than 10 photos per item.
Photo will have details (fields) such as :-
PhotoID
PhotoName
PhotoPathURL
PhotoDesc
I realise that each item can have many photos, but a photo can only have one item.
Would I need a table to link these two tables?
Your advice greatly appreciated.

Hello gentlemen,
My main form contains a Entry_No (Text – Not duplicate) field. I used following code in the same form in a command button’s OnClick event to increment integer value of Entry_No to “Issue-1”, Issue-2”, “Issue-3” & so on.
Dim strmax As String
strmax = DMax("[Entry_No]", "T_Drug_Receiv_Head")
Me!Entry_No = "Issue-" & Right(strmax, _
Len(strmax) - _
InStr(1, strmax, "-")) + 1
No problem with above code. It works fine.
The record source of the main form initially was based on query which I removed later. I placed following code to display only the last record while form opens (on Open event). This is a try due to very large table and I don’t want my form / query to load all 90,000 records into the memory at one time that takes time.
I placed a unbound text box (TxtMaxt) to disiplay Entry_No field of last record of the table which is ok.
Txtmax = DMax("[Entry_No]", "T_Drug_Receiv_Head") ‘ This is OK.
Dim NSSQL As String
NSSQL = "Select * from T_Drug_Receiv_Head where [Entry_No] = Txtmax"
Me.Form.RecordSource = NSSQL
Me.Refresh
When I open the form, it asks me ‘Enter parameter value’ for ‘Issue’. When enter something then dialog closes and form appears with blank record except showing displaying Entry_No field of last record of the table in the Txtmax unbound text box.
When I removes code from on open event and selects query that was set before as record set, it works.
Where might have gone wrong?
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have received a Access97 database which has a date field filled with numbers.
The date of birth field is in the format : 19970131
And the date of birth field is a text field.
The software requires the date to be in dd/mm/yyyy order and also to be a date/time field.
When I try to change the text to date/time, Access deletes all dates of birth.
I am not sure how to solve this as I am very new to databases.
Can someone please help me soon?

I'm looking for advice on the best method to accomplish the following from the esteemed members of this Forum (You all have provided excellent advice in the past to this Access Dummy, with my thanks), (I've also searched the forums without result):
I would like to make several fields "required" fields on my form, easy enough, in that I set the Required property on the table to "Yes".
What I would like to happen on the form is that when a user tabs out of a required field, a message box pops up that says "This is a required field" and/or when they click any of the following command buttons I've created, "Save Record", "New Record" or "Close Form", that a message box pop up and list the required fields that they missed.
Any ideas, with code, macros, or other solutions would be greatly appreciated, keeping in mind that I'm just not that swift to start with.
Many Thanks,
Photoguy

I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?

Hi all,
I am new here, I am never one to ask for help, but I am desperate to get some assistance and hoping someone may be able to help me. I have just basic knowledge of MS Access, but no where near the skills needed to acheive what I am needing.
To explain, I am involved with a national memorial of all the Truck drivers who have been killed on our roads. I have a database in access, (near 1000 individuals and sadly growing) but wanting to create it into a form style. I also need to add a photograph of each deceased person and a second photograph of the plaque which they are on. Years ago I saw a form which I was impressed with, it looked so professional but never had the oportunity to investigate or disect it :)
I am hoping sks who will enjoy the challenge may be able to assist me.
more about the memorial can be seen at www.tarcuttamemorial.com
Thanks Dianne

Hi all,
please note that I am trying to create a database regarding the inbound shipment management of a warehouse.I have the following tables that I need to link:
SUPPLIERS
ORDERS
PRODUCTS
INVOICES
CASES
Every supplier has many orders.One order has one or many Products.So far is easy beacause I link them with one to many relationship.The problem is that one case has one or many invoices and each invoice has one or many orders.
So there is a conflict because the primary key of orders should be linked twice.
Any suggestions?
please help.
thanx

I need some assistance with how to use the Nz function. If you could please help me rewrite part of my SQL (shown below), I would appreciate it. I am a newbie and don't understand some of the programming syntax.
Background
-----------
I have two columns, RevisedRequirement and TotalFCbyS in which I need to do some calculations and insert two new columns named Variance and VariancePct.
Issue
-----
Both the RevisedRequirement and the TotalFCbyS fields can have nulls. I need to convert any instance of a null to a 0 so that I can perform the calculations and not get any error messages.
Current SQL Excerpt
-------------------
This creates the Variance column:
IIf(IsNull([qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement])=True Or [qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement]=0,0,([qryOpPlanForecast].[TotalFCbyS]-[qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement])) AS Variance
This creates the VariancePct column:
IIf(IsNull([qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement])=True Or [qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement]=0,0,([Variance]/[qryProgramFundingAllocation].[RevisedRequirement])) AS VariancePct
The SQL shown, if I understand correctly, treats the Null as if it were a zero, but does not replace the null with a zero. Again, please help me with how to re-write the SQL so that it converts the null to zero.

I have two tables in my database. The first is a list of email addresses and the second is a much smaller list of email addresses I would like to remove from the first table. Is there a query or SQL statement that I can use to accomplish this task. Thank you from grateful Kenny.

First time poster, so I hope someone shows me the light and makes your forums shine! :)
I have a POS system that was designed in house which uses Access. I am trying to create some queries outside of the system to retrieve some data that has been being stored. I am basically wanting to know which items have been in stock for over 6 months and have never sold.
I have a query designed to show me this data for one store at a time, but nothing that shows me if an item is so poor it has never sold at any stores. This is my single store query:
SELECT Inventory_ProductTable.Artist, Inventory_ProductTable.Title, Inventory_ProductTable.Quantity, Inventory_ProductTable.Category2
FROM Inventory_ProductTable
WHERE (((Inventory_ProductTable.Quantity)>0) AND ((Inventory_ProductTable.LastBuyDate)<Date()-"180") AND ((Inventory_ProductTable.masterStoreID)="CDT001") AND ((Inventory_ProductTable.DepartmentID)=1) AND ((Inventory_ProductTable.LastSaleDate)=""));
It is pulling the artist, title and category of the item out of the database to display the informtion that I am needing (for the most part). Quantity of 0 and last sale date "" basically means there is no record of it being sold, so this gives me my zero quantity sold criteria for anthing that has been in stock for 6 months or more (the last buy date criteria).
I am not sure what other info I need to provide, but I would be happy to do so. I am a n00b at this and really love to learn, so lay it on me!
thanks in advance.

I created a form using a text boxes by using the field list icon and dragging the field I wanted to make into the text box onto the form. In the properties of that text box, under the format tab I set the format for "short date". Under the data tab in the properties of the text box I put in the control source this forumla =DateSerial(Year([Date of Service]),Month([Date of Service])+10,Day([Date of Service])). "Date of Service" on my form is the name of the source field it calculates from. What the forumla does is calculates from the date entered into my Service Date field and whatever date is in that field it adds 10 months to it. This field with this formula in it caluclates the date of my contacting the customer to setup an annual service for them. I also have another field that calculates the annual service date using the same formula only changing the +10 to +12.
When the Date of Service it entered the Contact Date field automatically adds 10 months to the date entered into the Date of Service field. Same of the Date of Next Service field only instead of 10 months it adds 12. So my formulas are correct. However when I go to my table I can not see any of the caluculated dates entered into the table. I can see it in the datasheet view of my form. My question is how do I create a query to pull only contacts dates from this form for a specific time frame? When I attempt to create a query I can only see table fields which do not contain the formulas for calculating the dates. Or can the fields that calculate the dates on my form be linked so the calculated dates are linked into the table and updated on the table when I update the form?
Keep in mind I am new to access so please give very detailed and specific instructions on a solution for this issue.

Hello
I have a database (Access 2007) that has two tables, reports, queries and so far all seems to be working and going well. Quite impressed with it to be honest for my lack of skills.
However, I've run into a bit of trouble and need assistance getting a combo box to work with another combo box to produce list kind of thing.
The database is a vehicle database and I need the 'Vehicle' combo box to give me a list of vehicles. I then need the 'Model' combo box to produce the models of the car selected in the 'Vehicle' combo box.
Example - If I select 'Ford' from the 'Vehicle' combo box list I want all the models to be displayed in a list form thing in the 'Model' combo box so the user can easily select make and model of the car.
I have two tables:
CarMM
VD
The 'CarMM' table contains a list of around 1,500 records of car makes and models. First column has the 'Vehicle' make and the second field coloumn has the 'Model'.
The 'VD' table contains all other information like the charges, name, the make and model of car once selected in combo box.
I then have the form called 'VD'. In this form contains the combo boxes I want to be cascading.
Any advice on how to do this? I'm quite new to this so any help would be nice. Thanks you very much.

I have DB with a Switchboard that has a button for Bin Number (Part Number). It is based on a parameter query that asks you to input your Bin Number. Once you enter the Bin Number it pulls all information for that Bin Number from a table that contains the Bin Number, description, Manufacturer P/N and Manufacturer and shows this in the query.
What I need to do is have this information each time a different Bin Number is entered to be stored in specific table (datasheet style) for printing out just a list of specific Bin Numbers and their information. As the parameter query stands now, each time I input a different Bin Number it clears the previous information. Can I tie in a make table query in some manner that will store the selected Bin Number info?
Can someone make suggestions on the easiest and quickest way to set this up? Keep in mind I am still learning Access so please be detailed in your comments. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have created a query based on two akwardly designed tables that ultimately relate a member of Congress to a specific Committee and Subcommittee. Unfortunately I cannot alter the tables, as I receive weekly updates from an external source.
This being the case, once I have created the query, a "-" appears in the Subcommittee column, where the Member of Congress serves on the Committee, but no Subcommittee or the Committee does not have a Subcommittee. Although I could exclude the "-", however when I do this certain committees are removed from the final results. So I attempted creating an expression, where "<Not Assigned to a SubCommittee>" appears if the Committee does not have a SubCommittee. Unfortunately there are a few committees that fall under this. I created the following expression:
=IIf([HMC_Name]=("Committee on Budget""Committee on Standards of Official Conduct""Committee on House Administration"),"<No Subcommittee Assignment>",[HSC_Name])
Yet this expression returns #Error. Any suggestions?

I know to most this is simple, but as a newer user putting everything in its right place is hard. Have checked multiple posts for my situation and cannot locate. I know I need to use DLookup.
Membership table used to built form has among others, a contract #1 field (9-digit Soc.Sec. #) and a Contract #2 field with another randomly assigned 9 digit number. Current form set up to accept contract#1 in an unbound text box which then autopopulates other fields pertnent to this member. Member should be giving us Contract #2 but that will not always happen. Want a DLookup so that if the #1 num is put in it will automatically input the correct #2 number.
Not sure where to put it and exactly how to format. Can someone please help me. Both fields on the same table.

Hi,
I am fairly new to access and still am not sure I fully understand how to do what I would like.
I have a fairly large database for community participants... On the "master database" if you will, I am entering either the child or parent who may participate in the programs - with their demographic information.... (some participate in various programs, or only one)
On master table, each participant is given an autonumber and identified by which programs he or she may be participating in.
On a sub tables, I would like to take attendance for each program.
Is there a way, I can create a table for one program and for access to identify all particpants from a particular program, pull in participant name and allow for entry.
1. Is this possible?
2. IF so, will this create a problem if the participant is in multiple programs?
3. I am trying to minimize the reentry of participants, and if new members are added at a later date, that access automatically places these names on the sub tables of attendance///
Thank you for any and all help you are able to provide....
