After being a member on this site for a while now I would like to get some opinions on "cost of application development" I know the forum covers a wide geographic area and the members cover a wide spectrum of degrees of expertise on Access and application development. So the question is this..
What would your rates be and how would you determine your charges for developing Access applications for a business?
PS... Please include your location if not in your profile.
I have a table called Books, in that table there is 4 columns ChapterName, Auther, ITEM, Price.
Each book has a item number, and each book has a few records with the same data, just the first column is different where its the ChapterName, each book has a price, but only once, meaning in the first record of each book it will be a price in the column price
Now I want a Query where i can get which book dont have a price at all, and which book has more than once a price, how can i do that?
I have a database which every week I have to import an excel spreadsheet. Now this spread sheet will always have rows that repeat and will have somewhere between 700-1500 rows.
What is my best option to delete the rows that repeat? Meaning if a rows 1-10 have the same data then delete 9 of them. It will vary but I only need the unique record and the others can be deleted.
Would this be best way using a query? VB or something else?
There are 6 columns that will always be in the spreadsheet with the same column names:
There will be rows that will repeat on every spreadsheet everytime. The only column that will not repeat will be CONTACT_COMMENTS. This column is needs to be deleted everytime.
I guess I didnt know if when I import the spreadsheet if something was possible that would:
Delete the CONTACT_COMMENTS then delete the duplicate rows upon importing or even after since this will have to be done everytime.
I am trying to do a partial duplication query. this is the code from the SQL view in accessSELECT filtered1.Company_NameFROM filtered1WHERE (((filtered1.Company_Name) In (SELECT [Company_Name] FROM [filtered1] As Tmp GROUP BY [Company_Name], Left([Company_Name],7) HAVING Count(*)>1 And Left([Company_Name],7) = Left([filtered1].[Company_Name],7))))ORDER BY filtered1.Company_Name;the table filtered1 has 1300 records, under the field Company_Name.the 7's apparently should get it to compare the first 7 letters, and if the same show me them. A whats going wrong, its not showing me any, asthough there are none, (which i know there are) and B. How would i get it to compare the first 7 letters across tables, with fields of the same name?thanksalex
"Microsoft JScript runtime error 'null' is null or not an object line = 126, col = 7 (line is offset from the start of the script block). Error returned from property or method call." what does that mean?
Dont understand what is controlling these decimals. I dont need any decimals for this database. The currency is talking bout money in 1000's and the probability is whole numbers.
I felt scared... []Before I was on the roller coaster []When I was on the roller coaster []After I was on the roller coaster
I need to be able to query/search the database for people that were scared "before", "during", "after", "before and during", "before and after", "during and after". Then I can categorize these people. What would be the best way to do it? Should I have 3 "yes/no" fields in my table, or one text field with those 3 as the lookup field? What one would make organizing the people easier? :D Thanks!
SELECT Fields FROM table1 RIGHT JOIN table2 ON table1.Pubid = table2.PubID WHERE (table1.PubType=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Is null) AND (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] IS null) And (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] is null) AND (table2.Unfinancial=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] IS null);
even if i only have one parameter (a member type, which should bring back at least 20 for each type of member) it returns nothing. if i do the same sql statement in a query and hard codee the value in i get data. it seems to be ignoring whatever is on the form.

My database is due tommorrow and my switchboard has gone crazy on me, it doesnt work anymore. When you scrolll your mouse it then goes through the links thats the only way to get to the section you want.
So question is this, whats the advantage of using it?
Cant I just set some hyperlinks to the items I want and it would be the same. Wondering cause dont know if I should spend time trying to fix it or just make hyperlinks...and its due tommorrow.
I have a problem which hope will have a simple solution, which has been driving me mad all day
I have a client who has two prices for the same service depending on speed of turnaround These prices are entered into the Client table seperately using the CDetails form. I then wish to use this information using a combo box for selection within another form called SDetails.However I can only get the combo box within SDetails to put one of the two prices rather than either of the two choices, because of the bound column within the combo. The combo when pulled down looks something like this
Price 1 Price 2 Client Name
I would prefer for
Price 1 Price 2
so that I have the choice of the price I want to choose.
Having spent time and many brain cells, I have ground myself to a stop. HELP!!!!!! if only for the sake of my sanity
My problem is that the products being sold are so at different prices depending on the customer. (e.g I am selling 100 burgers to Mcdonalds for £50 whereas to Burger King I am selling them for £35).
Therefore I have split my 'Products' table into two. A 'Products' table which contains the product name and category. And a second 'Prices' table which contains the Product name, Customer and the price.
I have setup a relationship between the two tables based on product name
How to I go about looking up the different prices depending on which customer I have placed an order for?
can it be done in a table or do I need to create a query to sort it all out.
I am in need of some assistance. I've been looking on here for an answer, but can only find solution that would give me a by column lowest price, and I need to compare the prices by row. What I have is a table of vendor prices for part numbers we sell. What I want to do is compare all the prices the vendors for each part number and return the lowest and 2nd lowest fields in a query. Here is an example...
ok i didnt know what section to put this in so i put it here. what i wanna do is add a price change history to my database. for example is the price of an item is changed in my database i want to be able to see what the previous price was and when it was last changed, either in forms of reports doesnt matter i just need somewhere to view this info. problem is i have no idea where to start.
Before I start, please know that I am what you call a newbie to a certain extent even though I created in the last 3 years a very complex and efficient database for my business.
This is going to be hard to explain, but I'll try.
The time came to stop creating the Price List in Excel and copy and paste in Access.(mainly to make it easy for other person to maintain and understand)
I know more or less the tables that will need to be created.
My problem is how to store calculated fields in a table (I know I really shouldn't, but how else can I accomplish this), since all the costs and selling prices are the result of complex formulas.
If this information is not enough to understand my question please let me know.
I started a new thread, because it is a new subject even though is related to my Price List thread, I hope is OK.
If someone can please take a look at my attached Excel Price List (particulary the factors sheet) and give me an opinion of how my tables should be created.
I cleaned the Price List was too big to attach and it will be easier to be understood, in its entirety is kind of all over the place, exactly why I need to make simpler in Access for another user to update if I am not around.
I am below including what I think the tables should include, but not sure exactly how they should be, please be reminded that I am un unexperienced newbie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am building a database in Access which I would like to eventually link to my website in order to sell hotel bookings online. I believe I have set all the fields up properly but when it comes time to set the price I'm lost. Each hotel has about 3-5 different prices throughout the year depending on the date. How can I design a table(s) to accommodate this? Any help is appreciated.
I have a combo box which looks up vessel names, it stores the Vessel ID in a field [Vessel ID]. This all works fine, no problem, easy. However as part of the vessel details I also need to know the service the vessel is providing “transhipment” or “direct”. If it is a “transhipment” service I need to show a second Combo box with the on carriage vessels. That’s also easy, I just hide the second combo box and only show it depending on the service status of the vessel.
Now I figure I just need to have a field [Vessel Status] which is updated after the first combo box is updated and then depending on the value show or hide the additional combo box. The problem I’m having is updating the [Vessel Status] field once the first combo box has been update.
