Usage Help Please...
Mar 29, 2006
How do you calculate usage? For example...
If I've got a field named Time, then a drop-down box with "Morning", "Afternoon" and "Evening"
How do I make a query so it displays the number of each time...
For example...
There's two times for Morning, three for afternoon and one for evening.
I tried using the 'Sum' total and the criteria of "Morning" but it says data mismatch. That was merely a guess, so I would like to know how to do it.
Like...
Time
Morning: Afternoon: Evening:
2 3 1
Thanks.

Over the last 12 months my database has grown in size.
I'd like to delete queries that are no longer used. Is there a utility I can use that will list where all my queries are used, ie used in other queries + reports.
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I have a continuous form with an unbound text box (for search critera) and a command button to kick off the search, which simply applies a filter.
When a user enters text in the unbound text box and hits "Enter", I want the search to be kicked off (instead of having to tab over or mouse over to click the "Search" command button. This is the default functionality of an HTML <form>, so users kind of expect it. But I'm having trouble implementing it in MsAccess.
I've tried using the KeyDown property of the unbound textbox, but no luck, since the KeyDown method occurs before the data in the box is saved. I'm guessing this is related to detecting what key has been pressed but my issue seems to be the order of events occurring on the form.
Any suggestions? This *must* be common situation, but I've found no related topics in searching the forum.

So I have a query which prompts the user for a username to search by, GetUsername.
Im used to TSQL usage which would be something like:
exec GetUsername 'blah'
My goal is to generate about 10 reports based on this query but with different (hardcoded) input. I do not want to prompt the user while generating these reports.
How would I invoke this query with a hardcoded parameter? (Id rather not save 10-20 versions of it).

I have a form from which people view records out of a db.
I would like to log the date/time and the key record they view into a table
The usage table has a date/time field & a string field for the viewed record.
I can run an append query to update the Usage table but can't figure out how to get the date/time into the table ?
Is it easier to write the whole lot out to a file ?

Hello All,
Is it possible to generate a query that can calculate the 'TotalMins' that an event covers our peak times?
I.e. Our peak times are 0700 to 1000 if we have a start time of 0600 and a finish time of 0900 is it possible for the query to work out that we have covered 120 mins of the peak period?
Thanks for any help provided!:)

Hi
About 10 years ago I wrote an Access application which is still in use. Over the years certain parts have become superfluous and new parts have been added by a variety of users. Thankfully they have stuck to the original ideal and only used macros and queries - and not modules of badly written code.
However, the system is beginning to creak and I have been asked to rewrite the system from scratch with a shiny new interface, cutting the dead wood and incorporating those new features that did not have a half life of one report.
I would like to be able to monitor the use of the system in order to be able to determine just which tables, forms, queries & reports are being used. I'm not interested in auditing who added what to which table, so a 'normal' audit system is not required. Can anyone tell me how I would record which of the above are being used and how regularly?
I have asked the users and (of course) they don't know.
TIA

This is very strange. I have converted two computers from 2003 to 2007. I have also installed 5 2007's on to new computers. All of these are Professional XP sp2 setups. I copied over a database to woek on those computers. Originally the performance was very good, on all of the computers (but not the lowest specified converted laptop ) exitting from a form containing a subform takes 37 seconds. The word Calculating... is on the status bar. The laptop takes 3 seconds par with what it used to do.
I have transferred the 'Data' database, the 'Apps' database, Utility.mda and another .MDA. I have also transferred all the Reference executables to one of the other computers. This has not made a jot of improvement.
Has anyone any pointers. I have exhausted all the resources trying to find a solution to this one.

I have written a large database for the school I used to work for. In the main table there is a field named "Active" which is text with yes or no choices.Is there a way to find in what objects this field is being used in the database?
For the life of me I can't remember why I put this field in or if its even used now.This database has had many versions over the years.
I have searched many of the queries but can not find where this field is used.If there isn't a way I plan to backup, remove field from table and test all the features of the program to see which crashes. However I'm hoping there might be a quicker way.This was one of the first DB I wrote and didn't pay much attention to mapping or keeping notes back then.

I have build a database with which I can create quite a lot of reports. When creating them I run out of memory with run time error "2004".
When investigating I detected that a lot of memory is used when creating the reports in PrintPreview mode. When closing the reports the memory is not automatically freed.
Is there a way to enforce garbage collection? Local variables of called routines I set to Nothing.

I have a split database made in Access 2007. Each user gets their own copy of the frontend from a script. I wanted to be able to edit the design view of the backend tables even if people were using the database so I made all the forms use snapshot source and only allowed data updates through VBA macro update queries. Having any form open locks the backend source table from being edited. In fact, I've found that just having a normal snapshot query open causes the message "Either an object bound to table 'whatever' is open or another user has the table open. Do you want to open the table as read-only?"
Is there some way to have a table be the source for a form or query, but still have it designable under most circumstances?
Attempted to late-bind a recordset on form load; result was the same:
Code:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select redacted as ft from tblRedacted ", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Set rs = Nothing
