I want to record and show some referral info. I would like help on where to record and how to show the info.
I want the infor to be shown per contact, in the contact details screen. See below for details. http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/5707/accesscontactdetails2ej4.jpg I am really struggling doing this.
I have a sales form that contains a combo box lookup to tblCUSTOMERS. It allows me to select a previous customer if that person is already entered into the system. If the person is NOT in the system, a form pops up to add the customer into the table.
What I need to know is, if the person IS already in the table BUT their address etc. has changed, what is the best way to get to that record to edit it? I'm THINKING a button with a command to go to that customer's profile.
What is the code to open a form to the customer selected in the drop down.
We have a huge report in our company that includes all our customers, all the visits done by our sales reps, all the products they have and if a product was out of stock in the visit or not.
I want to create a querry that exports a table with 3 columns:
1-->customer 2-->date of last visit 3-->average of out of stock products on the LAST visit
I tried to make a pivot table, managed to grab the last visit (setting the date to maximum) but the average of out of stock products were aggregated totally and not for the last day.
I am working on a database for a Skip Delivery Company, I have all relevant tables and Forms done and can add customers and so on. I have a field name in my Skips Delivered table called Delivery Docket which contains a long list of customer dockets. What i want to do is, be able to retrieve all customer information (such as Customer Name, County, Location, Phone Number and so on ...) on my Skips Delivered form by just entering the docket number on that form. I'm thinking i need an SQL Statement somewhere?

create a check on a feild(customer id) of customer table in MS Access , as "Customer ID is of 8 characters, the first 4 are alphabets and the last 4 are digits"
I've discovered I have a problem sending text between an Access Database and ASP page.
The database contains Turkish characters (eg, i without a dot) and the output to a web page is fine when run on a server that has Turkey for its international settings. Interestingly, the database shows the correct data regardless of environment... just the written page that screws it up.
However when the same data and pages are used on an "English" server, the Turkish characters are lost and modifyed to their closest Western cousins.
I'm not sure whether this is exactly an Access or an ASP problem... I think it's the latter, but maybe someone reading this forum has som ideas too Since I need to use this data in a server hosted in the UK, is there any code I can add which will fool the server into reading and writing the Turkish characters correctly?
Obviously, I could set up a function on the page to convert the characters, but that seems like a waste of system resources.
I have a Table Sales - that lists customer and order information
Most of the customers are new - is there a way to populate Customer Name Table with a new entry each time a new customer is input into the Sales Tale
(Without having to add the custome to Customer Name Table - then going to Sales Order) OR Failing that - is there a way to use a list box that points to Customer Name Table (and if it doesn't find the one you want, will allow you toadd a new record) In the SAME form as you use to add to Sales Table.
So: Date (textbox linking to form.Sales) Customer Name (List Box linking to form.CustomerName + adding the info to form.Sale)
I have a DB set up with a debtors table (Customers) and a Customer Contacts table, I was thinking of combining these two tables into one.Most of the Debtors are companies, but a few are actual people. With the current setup, i need to have both a debtor and a customer in two different tables, but with exactly the same data.
Hello, First time poster here so I hope this doesn’t sound too remedial. Here’s my situation…
I work for a large industrial company that has locations throughout the world. We have a DB that tracks product concepts and ideas and associated metrics for those ideas. The DB resides on a file server in North America (Raleigh, North Carolina to be exact). North American users have no trouble with the performance of the DB. It takes a moment to open (several seconds), but once it has opened there is virtually no lag time to add or edit records, run reports, view graphs, etc. However, users in Germany and the Netherlands encounter substantial lag time not only in opening, but also in updating and entering records, running reports, and viewing graphs. This is true even after they have waited for the DB to open.
The size of the DB is only around 2MB so I don’t think overall size is the issue.
There are probably no more than 3 or 4 users in the DB at the same time with most occasions being a single user so I don’t think we are having a multiple user issue.
The DB is self contained – no references to external data or splitting of any kind.
So my questions are: 1. Do you think the poor performance is a function of our network or of Access or the DB design? 2. If it is the network, is there anything that I can do in Access to help get around the hardware/network issues?
I'm building an ASP based email application which is to send emails to different user groups. The email addresses in the database need to be able to be assigned to more than one user-group, and an administrator needs to be able to add user-groups to the database.
So effectively, there may be hundreds of user groups and hundreds of users.
What is the best way to store this info in an Access database? Do I let the administrator create a new table column in the userEmails table whenever there is a new user-group added, or do I store a series of userGroupIds in a text field along with each email address and delimit them so that I can split them into an array?
I'm really not sure how to go about this, so any help would be much appreciated.
The DB is for recording Quotes and Orders taken over the phone.
Is it best to have a seperate table w/ a NotesType field so that all notes are stored in a central location? Or is it better to store notes for each quote/order in the Orders / Quotes table itself?
Also, if data is entered into these fields using subforms, is it possible to have the notes displayed outside of the subform in a box format, to allow plenty of typing room?
If anyone has a good example of a smart notes system implementaion, it would be very appreciated.
I have Four tables, CustomerTBL(holds all the customers for both companies); NoteTbl; AgeingTBL1 (this is for one company) ;AgeingTBL2 (this is for a child company)
I need to keep the 2 ageings seperate.
I want to creat a form from the customer table (so you can make edits to contact info and such)
Then I would like a subform with the ageingtbl1 and the note table to be linked together, but I only want the records from the customer table and note table to come back that match the ageing for that perticular customer.
I think I made this more confussing then it needs to be
I have a parent form (called PR_CR_Form) that has a subform called SubFrm_DefectClassification. I am trying to log all changes to the Access database. I am using the VBA code from the Microsoft website for article 197592. It works great. However, it only allows me to capture the changes to the main form. The VBA code has the following statement:
Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm
This makes MyForm point to the parent form (PR_CR_Form). What I would like to do is to make MyForm point to the subform (SubFrm_DefectClassification). However, I can't seem to do this. I tried the following:
Set MyForm = Forms!PR_CR_Form!SubFrm_DefectClassification
but this didn't work.
I would very much appreciate it if someone could please tell me how to do this.
I've noticed a few posts on the subject of images but there's lots of different scenarios and I'm hoping someone with far more knowledge can give me some basic pointers for my specific case so I can research it more fully.
Basically part of my database is storing properties, then there's a separate table for property photos as each property can have between 0 and infinity photos (theoretically, the max. is likely to be between 5 or 10).
From my understanding so far it will be best to store a path to each picture as a text field in the database as we're looking at 100+ photos easily from the start which I understand would cause a huge database using OLE linking.
I've got a couple of articles on how to take the path and display it as a picture on the form, not tried it yet but had a read through and it all seems fine.
What I need to ask is the best way to do a couple of things...
When viewing a property via a form is it easy-ish/possible to display thumbnails and captions for all the associated images? Could it then be set up so you could click each image to view it full size?
I need a slightly more user friendly way of adding the photos than just typing in file paths. What I imagine the cleanest way would be blank boxes which you'd click, get a Browse... window to pick the image then once you'd picked one it would place a thumbnail in the box, or something similar. However I'm not sure how well that would scale to a non-specific number of images (ie 0 - 10).
I have no fixed specifications for displaying/adding these images so if you have other ideas/ways of doing it then please suggest - the above is just what I imagine would be 'nice' - if it involves way too much coding then it's not worth it at this stage.
Any help / pointers would be most appreciated :) Let me know if you need more info.
I'm responsible for an Access 2000 database which three people have open more or less constantly and another four open from time to time.
The database is on a P2P network and is split, with the back end in a single location. The network is wireless.
At the moment there are no problems with this setup but changes are being contemplated which will mean that eight people will have the database open constantly with another four using it occasionally.
For other reasons ( There were only three other wireless networks within range when we started, now there are eight), we are switching the network from wireless to cable. The back end will be transferred to a new PC with a powerful processor and loads of memory.
Does anyone have experience of allowing that many users to log on at the same time in a P2P network? And was the experience good or bad?
Any suggestions on how to handle delimiters when creating an SQL query string?There's a query form with a number of text boxes. User can enter text in one or more boxes. The VBA code checks the text boxes and generates the query string from what's been entered.eg. strSQLString = "SELECT * FROM [myTable] WHERE [Surname] = ' " & txtSurname & " ' "If the user enters a name such as O'Neil this will result in an invalid SQLString because of mis-matched single quotes."SELECT * FROM [myTable] WHERE [Surname] = ' O ' Neil ' "How can I handle input text which may contain delimiters?
Thanks buddies for all ur help for the threads that i posted earlier!! Again i have some questions..
The form that i created is one that shows records that are not in a particular table , once its updated to the table through a submit button on the form, it does not appear on the form (meaning, the form shows only ones that are still not been processed,) so finaaly when it reaches the end of file, the form becomes blank and "ACCESS says it had encountered an error and needs to close" and creates backup copy..i dont want this to happen when the users use it. I tried giving a recordset.Eof condition , when true giving a message to the user that "all have been done", but as soon as it jumps into that if block when it reaches EOF condition Access Pops up that message, How to solve this???
I have below table in SQL Server which i have linked to MS Access 2010.
Create table test ( col1 int not null col2 int not null )
Insert into Test values (1,2) Insert into Test values (1,'')
Now when i link the table to access database and open up the table i dont have any issues with that. I tried to copy the test table data from access table and paste it to another access table which is linked to sql server with same schema structure thats when it says "You tried to assign the NULL value to a variable that is not a variant data type"..Its treating the blanks as NULLS when copy/paste the records from one table in access to another.
I have a database which we use to track customer orders of products that we provide to agents to sell to their customers. We have to keep track of the end-customer for redemptions/cancellations, and pay commissions to agents based on sales.
So, I have a Customer Table, Product Table, Order Table, and Agent Table. These are all tied together via the Order Table (Each Customer buys a Product from an Agent and this is known as an "Order").
We occasionally change the commission levels to the agents and the cost of the Products. However, these are mostly fixed costs and they apply across the board to all products of a type sold by that Agent. We institute changes as of a particular time period (all products sold after October 1st will cost $, etc.)
My concern is that if I change a price or commission now, it effects the commission and income reports for all time periods prior to that when the price change wasn't in effect. So if the price change takes place in October, I don't want that change to cascade to August orders.
I'm thinking that I need a price table with a date range in it and the ability to associate that with commissions and prices. I'm thinking I may have to further distinguish between prices and commissions, but I'm not sure. I'm sure that this issue has been addressed before (hopefully by someone on this forum :) ) and am looking for advice on setting this up.
I have an input form that has many fields, how do I go about fragmenting the data collection.
I thought I might group related data fileds together ie personal details, contact details and have a separate form for each data grouping or one form and make the fields invisible after they are filled in and then make the new data group fileds visible ie overlaying them so it appears to be a new form. I am not sure and would appreciate guidance.
I have a field where I'm recording the flashpoint of materials. The majority of the time, I'll have an actual number of the flashpoint (e.g. 100 or 140 or 200) but sometimes, I won't have a number or a number is not applicable.
Is using a combo box the only way to integrate an "N/A" solution for this? Otherwise, I'll have a field for the flashpoint and a second field for "NA".
I've got this database that needs some users to be read only and some users to have full control. I applied the appropriate ntfs permissions but there is a problem. If a read only users open the database, and then a full control users opens the database its stuck in read-only.
