Hi All,
Can anyone help me count postcode instances. I have a query that looks at my customers table (tbl_Customer_Details) post code field (PostCode), at the moment I have got it to strip out the right side of the postcode leaving me the left district side eg. HG12 8EN becomes HG12. I would then like to count how many times each postcode instance occurs so I can create a report on the result so I can track which district the customers are coming from. I hope this explains the problem. Any help would be much appreciated as I promised the Boss this for tomorrow....:confused:
this is my SQL so far, it strips out the left of the postcode:
SELECT tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode, Left([Postcode],4) AS Code
FROM tbl_Customer_Details
GROUP BY tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode;
I have a query which selects a complete list of companynames and producttypes, and another query which selects a few companynames and producttypes. What would be the query to select the companynames and producttypes from the first query that do not include the companynames and producttypes from the second query?
I have two tables; "Section_Failure_Mode" and "Risk_Assessment". They are linked by a common field called section_failure_mode_id. I would like to write a query where you can delete every record in "Risk_Assessment" where the checkbox (called Selected) is not selected (i.e. equal to 0) in the table "Section_Failure_Mode". However, I do not want any records to be deleted from "Section_Failure_Mode", only from "Risk_Assessment".
I have put a link to the screen cap of the query I have tried below. Is this the correct way to do it?
I am looking for assistance creating a query on a date field that will go back three business days from the current date. It must not show inclusive days, as in yesterday and the day before. Just the 3rd day past and not counting weekends. Also holidays would need to be considered. Thanks for any assistance RW
I had a query which used to work perfectly fine, then I changed one of the field names that the query was returning. And then, I rechanged the same field back to what it was and I save it. Later, whenever I run that query, it asks for a parameter with the same field name I changed even though I don't have it anymore.
I have written 2 SQL queries which I wanted to combine using IF-Then statement, if possible. the first one: SELECT NewNumber as [Main_number] FRom try_SQL Where Type='A' OR type ='V'
The second one is: SELECT OldNumber as [Main_number] FRom try_SQL Where Type<>'A' AND type <>'V'
I want to output the Main_number as a text file on my D drive. At the moment I have to to output 2 different text files, then combine them. can someone please help me?
Can some one please tell me how I can use a delete query. I have the following code, but it does not work. Please let me know where I am going wrong --------------------------------- Dim StrSQL As String StrSQL = "Delete FROM PLANT WHERE PLANT_CODE = ' " & PLANT_CODE_txt & " ' " DoCmd.RunSQL StrSQL ---------------------------------- In the above and below code PLANT_CODE_txt is the form field that I am taking values from to delete from the table
(or)
---------------------------------------- Dim StrSQL As String dim pt_code as string pt_code = me.PLANT_CODE_txt StrSQL = "Delete FROM PLANT WHERE PLANT_CODE = ' " & pt_code & " ' " DoCmd.RunSQL StrSQL --------------------------------------------------------------
And if we are using multiple delete queries should we have the DoCmd.RunSQL <variable> after every delete statement or is it after all the statements

I have an indexed table (unique autonumber) in Access. I have in this table an other column with every X rows a number (X varies) and the rest of the rows below are empty. This situation repeats again with another number and again all the fields under it are empty. Is there a possibility to run an update query to update all fields below to that certain number? Can you define a range (by using a range in the autonumber) to update all the fields in that range to that specific number ??
Hi Folks, I have a table that has Student_ID, Course, and Grade. So each student has multiple records, one for each course they took. But what I want to return is only those people who have All F's. If I just put "F" as a criteria on the grade field then it will pump out those records that have an F, including those who maybe only have 1 F, but all I want is a list of Student_ID's of all of those people who have nothing but F's. Any ideas? HELP..i'm really in a bind with this one.
How can I get the record with a date field that is the earliest and the latest in a table.
tblSample(ID, Name, Type, ItemDate)
The ItemDate can be any date entered by the user, so the ID will not give me the earliest and the latest record. How do I make a query that will give me the earliest ItemDate and the latest ItemDate. I need to do this in Access. Thank you.
I am trying to create a sequential number field in a query. I cant use an auto number for the fact that i am combining multiple tables. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, i need some help constructing a query that will create a table for me that does not include the Type value of 'promotion' if the same ID value exists elsewhere within the query.For instance, in the example below, i would want to delete the first entry containing 'Promotion' because ID2001 exists in two other places. However, if only one instance of ID2001 'Promotion' existed in my query, i would want to keep that entry. I would prefer to write all my data to a new table called "Test", This query has to sort out about 1000 entries when executed, otherwise i'd do it manually.I'm pulling my hair out with this one, so could someone help me?ID Company Name TypeID2001 Disc plc John PromotionID2001 Disc plc Paul AgentID2001 Disc plc George Agent
I'm working with MS access only in very basic things. Rigth now I need to look some information in a Table that was created in MS Access 2000.I don't know if this is a problem with MS Access 2003, because i still have some ones. 1) The Zoom tool is not accessible. 2) The order of the items, change all the time and I need to sort them every time. If someone could help me in this matter, I'll appreciate so much
Hello all. This is my first post on here after reading many of the other threads as I try - often in vain - to pick up access.
I am in the process of building a couple of databases, the main one being one that is an amalgamation of 4 other/older mdb's. All tables/queries etc were simply imported from these older defunct mdb's and then are archived off every month so they have 3months data and no more in them. The only thing is when it comes to problem solving and/or new queries, it is impossible to tell which tables/queries relate to which sections of the Db.
So my question to you is can I rename tables and queries in any way so that any queries that are using these tables are updated at the sametime, and if so how is it done? I have asked my colleague who is working with me to develope my understanding of access and he is at a loss. We are in the process of trying the old fashioned way ..... getting a book from the libarary ... but thought I'd try this new fangled internet thingy first :D . The thought of having to trawl through around 100 tables and queries to rename or even re write the entire query/formulae is so daunting, I simply dont have that amount of time. Im using Access 97 and would greatly appreciate any help on this. Thanx
I have been asked to look at setting up and access database to do the following
To keep a record of pupils and 9 tasks the pupils have to do and also the total amount of time it took a pupil to do this task They have a total of 25 Hours to do all tasks but this is spread out over the year.
What I need is someone to tell me the best table layout to do this
The pupil record has to have the following First Name Surname Form Total Hours taken for all 9 Objectives A description of what the pupil did to achive each Objectives record if that task is complete Also Date Task was Complete
I have done a test database with just one table in it and inside that table had all of the above but apart from name, form and total hours I repeated the rest nine times. This just does not seem right
What I want is to pull up the pupil name and then select Task say from a Drop down box this would then insert a new field if it did not allready exist in pupil recored and then you can fill in the task details of course if the field/s all ready existed then to open that up to allow you to update this
It would then need to update the total Hours field in the pupil record with the hours it took to do that task/objective.
I have basic Access knowledge but i cannot think of best way to achive this can anyone help please
I have a very strange request from a client who wants to do something simple that they can't because of poor database design (not mine!) . I can't think of an elegant solution so I'm wondering if anyone on here can?
They have multiple tables containing address information, for example they have one containing information about certain buildings. They can use the softcopy of the database to retrieve information about the building but for backup they now need a hardcopy.
Now part of the building information includes the alternative names for buildings (for example "City Museum" and "Art Muesum" might be different names for teh same building). The hard copy needs to have a line entry for both names (proper and alternative) and this is where the difficulty lies.
Using a simple example the table might be:
colour fruit red apple orange yellow banana
The output I would need in the report is therefore:
Red (Apple) Apple (Red) Orange () Yellow (banana) Banana (Yellow)
Now I may be being dense but I can't see how I can do this! All help very gratefully recieved :)
I have a Access 2000 db, been working fine for 6 months+ and suddenly today, two out of three forms give "not a valid password" error on trying to open them.
There has never been a password set on the db, nor on the forms - and the same user who used it successfully yesterday now gets this error, along with any other users.
What has happened and how do i fix it? All ideas welcome!!
Each time a person enters a part number into the form they will have an option to pick and load other forms. Looking to have 1 form with a cmd button that when pressed will go out and retrieve an object or objects (spreadsheet, word document and etc) and then place in the OLC’s and rename and store this object on a drive with the name of the part number and form name I want the templates never to change or be updated. Only the objects store on the drive after the command button is pressed or the Ole object is double clicked can be edit.
I've tried hyperlinks, do not want to have operators do save as, also I would have to have all the forms entered for each part number prior to versus just using templates and having them be stored.
Example of save forms names c:mydocuments racking12341234-Template-1 c:mydocuments racking56785678-Template-2
Not even sure this can be accomplished. See attachment for a visual idea.
I will explain this situation using a scenario. Let's assumed that i'm working on a library system where i need a loan form that will only show books that are available for loan. In this case, this form has a main form that shows library member's details and its subform shows the details of the books that are loan by library member. In this subform, one of the fields (ISBN no) displays its values using a combo box. Once a value is selected from this combo box, values in other fields found in the subform will be shown too. These values are based on a table that contain books info, where only the value (ISBN no) in the combo box comes from a query. This query will only show books that are available for loan.
If a library member wants to borrow 'booktitle1' then this book will not be available to be loan by other members and assumed that there is only one 'booktitle1'.
I tried to update the field manually by changing the status field every time the book is loan out. I hope to solve this problem in an effective way.
I am new with access and i have difficulty to explain it in a much better way. Sorry, if my description cause any sort of confusion.
These are the tables.
book_info (table1) ------------------------------- bookTitle ---------- text ISBN(pkey) ------- text authorName ------ text category ---------- text dateReceived ---- date publisher ---------- text status -------------- text
user_info (table2) -------------------------------- name --------------- text userID(pKey) ------ text address ------------ text tel ------------------ number hp ------------------ number occupation -------- text DOB --------------- date
loan_info (table3) ------------------------------ userID(fKey) ------ text ISBN(fkey) -------- text dateReturned ---- date dateBorrowed ---- date dateDue ---------- date remarks ----------- text
I am thinking of adding a Request form to my database so that if the user wants to add a code to the system, they could fill out the form click send and i would then be able to retrieve all the requests via a report.
I have designed the form to something like what i am after...
i have a few issue's here:
A)
i have set up an option wizard so that user can select if this is a new code or a failure mode request
if the user selects "New Event Code" i want the the text box and label for Eventcode Description to become visible and all others to become inactive.
i will explain what happens if the user chooses "Failure Modes" in a minute.
B) I have no idea what is the best method to sort the following section, if you look at my form at the bottom (Highlighted in red) i need this to be a continuous option as the user may wish to add more than one Failure mode to an Event Code.
C) going back to my options if the user select "Failure Modes" i need the bottom section to become active.
D) If that was not bad enough i have no idea on how to store this in a table.
Definitions:
Event Code ---> Top Line Code
Failure Mode --> Is the Event code description but broken down further
I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.
