I'm not sure if this is possible but I've been asked to devise a way of viewing past record entries from an old form on a new form. Our database contains yearly records of student details; each year has a separate form. What my manager would like is that when a student ID number is typed into this year’s form, that old data from previous years is retrieved and placed in the database OR some sort of command button that searches past records for that particular student ID.
Hope that makes sense, I'm completely confused about the whole thing, I'm not sure if it’s even possible...any kind of help will be gratefully received!
I have a query that returns a set of records which details stock items that are older than a date given in a form. However i need to limit the results to the number of items held in stock i.e say i want to look at stock over 1 year old, i get a list of all the stockids, and the date added. Say there is a stock level of 3 for a particular stockid the results should be limited to the first 3 records that are over 1 year old. Rather than the whole list of dates I get now.
Any help or direction with searching terms would be appreciated
I trying to create a query that just returns all of the records in my database for the past year. I've tried to somehow do it using the date() function but haven't had much luck yet. Any help is most appreciated.
I am trying to run a query to print invoices that are 30, 60, and 90 days past due. What expression do I use to search for records that were purchased 30, 60, 90 days prior? I was able to find the expression to add time for the due date but was unable to find the expression to subtract time for my search. Thanks for any help!! Beck
I have a form for creating new entries in a table. In it there is a textbox for a City field that I would like to have some kind of auto-complete based on past records in the database--similar to how Excel provides auto-complete options within a spreadsheet based on entries in previous cells.
In other words if "Binghamton" has been entered in a past record and the user starts typing "Bing" in the textbox, then "Binghamton" will become an autofill option. Is there a way to set this up?
Hi, can anyone please help me. I've just set up a form with 2 pages which I can add data into, but for some reason, I can't view all records. I've tried using the switchboard to add buttons to both add records and view (but they both only add), and i've also set up my own button with the instruction to view all records, but it just won't work. On the first page the data source is tbl_CompanyInfo, and on the second page, the data source is a subform with the data source tbl_Contacts. The subform will link contacts to the company info via the CompanyID field. I hope that makes sense. Can anyone please tell me how I can view all of the data via the form. Thanks very much
Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
My new form won't paste all the data into the table, only the first two fields will go in, the other fields are empty. The other fields are brought into the form automatically from another form. Is there something I have to turn on to get this data to go into the table?
I have a split database with the back end on a sharedrive. I have the front end saved on my own drive and the same for my colleague.
When I view the front end version of my colleagues, I can see a records on there that she has input but I can't see them when I open my own copy of the front end plus when I view the back end I can't see the records there at all.
I deal with different blood test reports for same patient on different dates. Because tests are so many, so i have arranged them on different pages of the same main report. But the problem is, that access shows different records of the same tests for different dates one under the other as a set...while i want it to show in parallel columns with test label on left side and column heads as different dates.
I've used Access 2003 to create a database which contains a table linked directly to the "Orders" table on my mysql server. This table holds all of the customer orders placed on our website. I next created a form in access to give me a nice justified view of the orders.
My Problem? The field on the mysql server that holds the line item details for each order is a "Memo" field, and all of the text is formatted in html it appears. When viewed on the form, I see the all of the raw code, and not the nicely formatted text. If i highlight a section of the code from the form, and paste it in a Html editor (Frontpage for example), I see the line items nicely formatted as intended.
Is there a way to get this memo field to display the formatted html text instead?
My access skills are pretty limited, so detailed steps would be appreciated.
I have got a form with summarised data (of records) on view for people to look at. (this is a continuous form). For each record I would like to have a button that displayed another form with more details on it. So by pressing the button opposite a particular record it would take the Id value of the record and open another form (with more details) at that particular record.
I would be very interested in seeing this done with a macro if possible but beggers can't be choosers!
I have a macro which runs from a form. The macro just opens up a subform. The problem is that the subform gets opened up in a new window. I have changed the property to modal, but this then still opens up the subform in a dialogue box.
Basically I want to be able to view both the form (top half of the screen) and the subform (bottom half of the screen) on the same screen.
I have made a table and I enter data in that table through a form. The form also include two sybchronized comboboxes. When I select a category in one combo box, corresponding items are selected in second combo box. The problem is that when I select the category in the form (with ID+Category Name), it stores only the ID in the table. How can I see the Category Name in the table (which is the control source of the form) instead of ID?
I have a button on my main form that allows me to view one of my reports. In order to view the report I have to close my main form. My problem is how do I reopen my main form when I close the report that I have viewed? Some code that would reopen my main form when clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner of the report to close it?
I have a database with customers/orders etc. I need to create a form or something which will show if a duplicate customer is entered. I know about the duplicate records query wizard, but I also need an easy way to consolidate and delete records. When a duplicate customer is found, move the customers order/s [OrderNumber] to the existing customer and delete the new/latest customer record.
Customers are in tblCustomers, their orders are in tblCustomerOrders, [CustomerNumber] is the joining field.
I was thinking of just a date/time field for [DateCustomerEntered] with default value Now to keep track of the later customers?
I have a form in which the user inputs crane inspection results (a series of check boxes). When the user clicks the save button, I would like to run a query (I guess a query is how to do this) that searches records for the past seven days (less weekends and holidays) and alerts the user to days that inspection results were not entered for that particular crane (cboCrane.Value) and that particular shift (cboShift.Value) via a message box.
How do I get it to only look at records for the past 7 days (less weekends and holidays)?
I have a query that I need to always pull data from the newest past 3 months, so if this query were ran today it would take from months 2,3,4 (Feb, Mar, Apr). Any clue on how to do this?
I want to populate the Class Code field based on the class they select. The code works fine except that the Class Code field does not update until after I tab past it. There is a field in between Classes and Class Code so I have to tab 3 times before the textbox populates. I expected the textbox to populate immediately after I selected the class. I also tried putting the code in the On Click event of the combobox but that didn't work either.
If I just keep clicking on different classes I'd like the class code to change each time without having to tab to another field. Is that possible? What am I doing wrong?
I have a field that works out the difference in time between two fields. However, whenever the end time goes past midnight, it calculates the difference as a minus figure. I understand that this is because of the date issue, but I cannot seem to find a way around it.
Here is what I have so far:
time_of_referral field. This is the start time. It is a short time field that is filled in by the end user.
time_of_arrival field. This is the end time. It is a short time field that is filled in by the end user.
Text31 field. This is not visible to the end user, and has the following control source =DateDiff("n",[time_of_referral],[time_of_arrival])
Text33 field. This is an unbound text box with the following control source =[text31]60 & Format([text31] Mod 60,":00")
This works out the time difference and presents it as hours and minutes.
I have seen solutions that add a day to the end time, but unfortunately this does not work when the end time DOESN'T go past midnight. Some will go past midnight, some won't.
Hi, i have a query which looks at a table named "attendance" the query includes the fields: "employee number", "absent code" (a 3 letter code), "absent reason" (list of different reasons) "shiftdate" (weekly shift dates in format: DD/MM/YYYY). If possible i would like to be able to promt the user to enter a employee number, then a absent reason (ideally from a list box) and show all occurences (with all the shiftdates) only of that particular absent reason within the last 12 months, and ideally calculates in another field the number of times that employee has been absent for that particular reason for the last 12 months.
Does this make sence?, i know how to promt the user to enter a employee number but not sure how to go about the rest, any help with what seems to be quite a challenging task to me would be excellent.
