Joining Flat Tables
May 7, 2014simple join my Main Data Compiling Table and Secondary Table Delete from Main Data table (Located Under main Content Tables). Basically I want it to run like a flat data table which I cannot do because I have too many fields. I want ability to further expand it in the future.Somehow I need a one to one relationship with Referential Integrity enforced with cascade Update Related fields and Cascade Delete Related fields. Problem lies in it tries to create a one too many relationship.Both Main1ID and Main2ID are AutoNumber with Main One being primary key.
I have created a tabbed Navigation Form to show what is currently happening the first Tab is from Client Demographic Form generated by fields from Main Data Compiling Table and Second from Floral Information Form generated by fields from Secondary Table Delete From Main Data Table.
Importing Flat Spreadsheet Into Normalized DB
Nov 29, 2004So I’ve been assigned to develop a database in Access which will house information on students who are participating in an internship program sponsored by my employer. I was given a spreadsheet with roughly 40 columns, so it is pretty detailed info about the students. For example personal student info (DOB, email, phone, etc), as well as school, major, year rank, school address, permanent address, etc.
Importing this given table is easy, just by using the import wizard. However I am faced with a challenge. The info I have is up to date at this point however in years to come there will be a need to import new student info. The only way my employer wants that to be done is by taking the new excel spreadsheet and importing that data into the already created database. Now this wouldn't be a problem if the DB is one flat, non-normalized, table because the columns would line up. However I feel that the DB needs to be normalized because of the vast amount of data that is repetitive, such as State or Major.
Is there a way to import an excel sheet into an existing normalized access database? Or even a way to automate it so that the excel columns would be broken up into the separate corresponding normalized tables?
Thanks!
Concatenate Text From Flat TXT Files
Jun 15, 2007I receive reports formatted as a .txt (flat) file.
Problem: I have to develop a process to manage the .txt files so the data can be separated into its own fields. The layout of the output is as follows:
Date Time User Status Customer Name ID#
06/04/07 15:51 MRF C PTRSNEEO,TBYET L 01234567
Closed By:MRF acvd per xx adv xx of prices on her xxxx XYZASSX
TBLTSXS 75ZZ 90/09ds &5.35 XMEPRAZLE CCC 20XX
90/90ds &2.15 UTZXLPIES EX CCC 100XX 90/09ds &2.15
TYERLXP 0.125XX (TPSDTRM) 90/90ds &2.15 MNTYIMPS
90/90ds &2.15 XYZCNITSASLS TTT 20XX n/s gave # to
call back mrf
1) The layout of the flat .txt file does not allow it to be parsed vertically.
I.e. Vertically: Date and Time overlap the Secondary User information.
The User initials are not aligned. Customer Name is directly over the documentation text and of a different string length.
When I try to "cut" the data by the main sections into columns (Date / Time / User / Status / Customer Name / ID#) to import into Access the text in the documentation fields is "cut" into those sections as well.
I want to be able to reconstruct the text sections that are split apart into a single "cell" that can be exported to Excel or used within Access.
2) Also, some records have 1 line of text, others 2...up to 8. Each individual line of text ends up in its own cell. How can I "code" Access to read to the end of the last line of text (last cell) of the record and then concatenate the text in those cells into one continuous string of text in a single cell?
At the end of each record in the report there is a space separating the records.
I realize this is long and complicated, but am lost and the volume of this type of work is increasing. Requests to IS to change the output of the system reports is low priority so I am stuck. Thank you for any help you may provide.
Online Entry To DB - Views On Flat File (CSV)
Feb 13, 2007Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any experience of writing to an Access database via Web.
Do you think it is feasible, for an online entry form, to have 'customers' input their details or wahtever, then this info is sent to some sort of flat file?CSV is it called?
Then the admin can check these, then import to DB quite easily?
Relational Structure To Flat Excel File?
Jul 17, 2007Hope someone can help with this.
Basically we have an Access database with a main table, and several linked tables, joined on a unique ID.
For example :
tblFeatures :
FeatureID
FeatureName
etc
tblCategories
FeatureID
Category
So each feature can have many categories in a one-to-many relationship.
What I have a requirement to do is to pull that out as a flat file in Excel, ie
FeatureID, FeatureName, Category1, Category2
etc
What's the best way to go about this?
Cheers,
Iain

Forms :: Converting Old Flat Buttons To Newer Rounded Style
Aug 15, 2013I have Access db's that were originally created in Access 2003, I have upgraded them no problem to accdb and am using them in Access 2010.
When I create a new form and add a button it is rounded/shaded/white/blue etc - looks good.
When I add a button to an existing form, or reformat the existing form buttons (back colour Accent 1, Lighter 40%, Use Theme Yes etc) it remains an old style button (unrounded, solid colour etc).
How to convert old style buttons to new style buttons ..

Forms :: Text Boxes Showing In Design View But Not Display In Form View
Apr 19, 2014I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)
May 16, 2014Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
How Do I Show The Subform As Form View Instead Of Datasheet View :confused:
Jul 19, 2007See title :)
I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
!!??? All My Forms Are Blank Under Form View - But Fine Under Design View!!!
Jul 13, 2006Anybody ever heard of this before? I open a form, and it is empty, just a blank window. I open the same form in Design View, all appears well. :mad:

Jul 2, 2007I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber.

Any ideas why it is not showing?

Forms :: No Filters - Cannot View All Records In Form View
Aug 27, 2013I have 4 tables and around 440 records but can only view up to 417 in the form I have designed. I have been adding new records via form and it has been added to my main table, but when i try to view it in form view - the record is not available to view. What do I need to do to correct this problem?
I have checked that there are no filters, data entry is set to No, Auto deletions, additions and edits are set to yes.
Also to mention it seems that the problem has arisen since I set up some new queries, there is a one to one relationship between the tables!
Forms :: From Pivot View To Filtered Datasheet View
Nov 14, 2013I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI Want Datasheet View... Why Does It Keep Showing Form View?
Apr 6, 2006I have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks
View Records In Form View
Apr 6, 2006Hi, I am in the process of creating a new database - I am a bit new to this. I have a main form, which also contains two subforms. The record source of the main part of the form is 11 tables, and then each of the subforms is based on one table each (so there are 13 tables altogether).
Everything seems to be linked up ok, and when I add new information to the form (and the subforms), the information gets saved to the tables as it should be. However, I want to be able to view past records in the form view, so that users can regularly update past records using form view. I can't do this. Each time I open the form view, the thing at the botton left says 'record one of one.' THen if I put the curser in (for eg) the box called 'client name' and click on the search button, I get a message saying:
"you can't find or replace now, the fields are not searchable due to:
- the fields are controls;
- the fields have no data;
- there are no fields to search."
well I don't really know what that means. There is definately data in there somewhere, because I can view it in the table view, but I'd like to be able to view and update old records, and search, in the form view.
any tips?
thanks for helping
Design View - Where'd The Table View Go ?
Apr 18, 2008You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
Normal View -v- Design View
Jul 20, 2005I am wondering why the alteration to my form in design view is not reflected in the "normal" form view. I have included the two views. In design view I moved "Staff In"/"Staff ID" to the top of the form believing that as I work left to right thay would appear on the left hand side in normal view.
However, in the image of "normal" view you can see that "Staff In" is way over on the right hand side of the form.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you

Design View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query
Jun 5, 2014I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
Blank Form In Form View But Fields Present In Design View
Oct 19, 2005After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte
List View
Dec 13, 2005I have a list view in my form
I add new rows in the list view by code
here is my code:
ListView.HideColumnHeaders = True
With ListView.ListItems
.Add , , name_book, , 1
.Add , , name_pupil, , 3
.Add , , MAX_DATE, , 4
.Add , , KAT, , 5
.Add , , "__________________________"
End With
my problem is that when i add more value, the new value add at the bottom of the list view that I cant see it just have to use the scroller.
is it possible to add new value but to see it on the top, that in the list view I see the new value and to see the old value I use the scrollers.
thanks!
Create View
Feb 3, 2006Can MS Access do "create view"?
CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT columns

WHERE predicates;
When I put it in the SQL View in the query, it does NOT run.
I put it in modules, it doesn't run, too.
Thanks.

Conditional View
Mar 2, 2005hi all,
how do i create view based on a condition.
For example my database consists of a Employee table
*Token ID
Name
AGE
Location
Division.
Now the users of this table would be employees from different divisions.
And i want to create a view for each division for records only belonging to that particular division. And use this view to update records of that division.
Or should i create tables for each division and then give access of each table to the respective division user.
Any response is welcome..
