why do we need to order MS Access application when the user request it in the company?
Suppose one user buy MS Access application, then we can install the other workstation, right. But, everytime, we need to order MS Access for that user account/workstation.
In contrast, ms word, ms excel, powerpoint, we don't need to order it, every workstation must have them, except ms access.
Can anybody response me why we need to order ms access for each user account/workstation?
I'm quite new to access, and have a pretty straightforward problem (I hope):
I have a table with 300 records in 10 columns. I want to: 1. filter the data based on column A (gives me 150 visible records) 2. Copy from an excel spreadsheet which exactly matches the access table (single column only, 150 rows) 3. Paste into a new column I created in the access table
Unfortunately, when I hit paste in access, it loses the filter and pastes the data into the complete dataset (i.e. into the wrong records).
I've no idea why access won't keep the filter I set. I also tried numbering the records and sorting them based on this new column. Again, Access lost the sort order before pasting the data.
Help!
I really need to be able to paste my excel data into the table in access!
I apologise if this has been posted in the wrong place.
I am currently making changes to a VB front end for a database of jobs in our company. we have approx 2000 job records in the job table. The program uses a recordset to move sequentially up or down the table, record by record as it searches.
The code is doing its job fine, but for some reason or another, the records in the database are not in order. They loosely follow the order you would expect from 1 to 2000, but every now and then deviates. Obviously, when pulling data out one record at a time, this gives the data in the wrong order.
I did not design the database. There was orignally no primary key or indexing. The new job number (an obvious choice for a primary key) is generated by the exectuable program.
I have spent hours trying to apply sorts in different ways, and reading about how records are stored, and my limited understanding has led me to believe that merely sorting records in access is not enough to change the order that they are physically stored in.
My coding abillity is not good enough code round this problem, and the ideal fix would be to find out some way of forcing an ordering from now on (ie would making job number and indexed primary key now prevent this happening to future records) and to find some way of re ordering the previous records (not just sorting them to be viewed in order).
Am I being really silly and missing something or is this a problem people have had before?
I am trying to create a work schedule, some customers are scheduled for morning and others in the afternoon. I am trying to figure out how to sort AMs and PMs so I get a line with every other one.
Hi, okay completely new to access. I'm trying to create a chart based on a query with 1 record 8 fields. I can not figure out a way to rearrange the data into two fields 8 records.
The background is I have a hundred units, each with 8 wheels. I have a table with the following fields. -Unit part number -Diameter of wheel 1 -Diameter of wheel 2 -Diameter of wheel 3 -Diameter of wheel 4 -Diameter of wheel 5 -Diameter of wheel 6 -Diameter of wheel 7 -Diameter of wheel 8
So, the query tells me how many wheel diameters between a certain range, with the following fields: - Diameter >530 - 530> Diameter >540 - 540> Diameter >550 - 550> Diameter >560 - 560> Diameter >570 - 570> Diameter >580 - 580> Diameter >590 - 590> Diameter >600
Now I want to plot the range on the x axis and # wheels in that range on the y axis of a bar chart.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve this? How do I create the diameter range as a record rather than a field?
Access 97 does not display records in their original order of entry in a report or its query whether they are indexed or not. Results are always in ascending or descending order even when sorting and groupings are not set. Any suggestions?
I have a query that Counts the number of times a model number is used. I use totals and the count function under total to get that count. I have the top 10 models used and the query returns my information correctly but. When I make a form or report and place a chart in that uses this query, the results are in alphabetical order not in the order of usage. I need my chart to either go from descending or ascending order of usage and not by alphabetical order of the model number or name. What am I doing incorrectly? It seems like the chart would display the same way my datasheet would in the query.
Here is my sql statement.
SELECT TOP 10 Count(tbl_Closed_Jobs.OEM_Model) AS CountOfOEM_Model, [OEM] & " " & [Desc] AS Expr1, tbl_Closed_Jobs.Desc FROM tbl_Closed_Jobs GROUP BY [OEM] & " " & [Desc], tbl_Closed_Jobs.Desc, tbl_Closed_Jobs.OEM_Model, tbl_Closed_Jobs.OEM, tbl_Closed_Jobs.Plant ORDER BY Count(tbl_Closed_Jobs.OEM_Model) DESC;
I have report which record source is a Union Query, The query contain Order Details and a single row for "Freight Charges", I just want to set Freight Charges show in Report at last row.
I have a problem getting pages of an Access 2002 report to print in the correct order.
I have a report which prints one of four pages per record. The data source for the report was initially sql which retrieved records from 2 tables. The sql was working fine. The order of the records was set by the ORDER BY clause. ORDER BY ON is set to Yes. ORDER BY is set to a text field called SortKey. Because the report was not printing the pages in the correct order, someone suggested that if I create a table (I called it SortReports), make sure that the table is sorted by SortKey, and make the table the data source, it should work. But it does not.
The pages in the report still do not follow this sort order. I have also made SortKey the primary key field. No matter what I do, the report continues to sort by another field called SystemKey, as well as something else. I have been looking at Microsoft and other websites for a similar problem and solution, but no luck yet. Any ideas?
I would greatly appreciate any help, or a push in the right direction.
NOTE: Im working in MS Access 2003, only results in this SQL/database (not mysyl, MSSQL etc)
I want to be able to ORDER an SQL query and put the NULL values last.
I have a basic databse:
Table name: PeopleTable Field names: TableID, PersonField, PersonID
The aim is to order by PersonID and put the NULL values last
See pic1.jpg;
The picture (pic1.jpg) shows the database as it is without a query.
See pic2.jpg;
Picture 2 (pic2.jpg) shows the query results when I use the orderby statement (SELECT * FROM PeopleTable ORDER BY PersonID As you can see it shows the results ordered by the PersonID however the NULL values are first.
See pic3.jpg
Desired results, it is ordered by the PeronID and the NULL values are last (NOTE this is an editied screenshot).How can i achieve this is MS Access 2003?
When I make the column graph the data seems to not be in any order. The report is in order by the number of days in ascending order.
How can I have the columns with the largest number show up first and the columns get smaller. I would like the largest column all the way to the left, proceeding the next one in size so it goes from largest to smallest.
I have a pivot chart based on a crosstab query. I would like the items on the category axis (x-axis) to appear left to right in the order that they appear in the query results.
Some specifics: Tables: tblFreq FreqID (PK, Number, Range 1-7) Frequency (text)
tblResp RespID (PK,Number, Range 1-5) Response (text)
tblResults ResultID (PK,AN) FreqID_FK RespID_FK
Query: TRANSFORM CInt(Nz(Count(tblResults.ResultID),0)) AS CountOfResultID SELECT tblFreq.Frequency FROM tblResp INNER JOIN (tblFreq INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblFreq.FreqID = tblResults.FreqID_FK) ON tblResp.RespID = tblResults.RespID_FK GROUP BY tblFreq.Frequency, tblFreq.FreqID, tblFreq.FreqID ORDER BY tblFreq.FreqID PIVOT tblResp.Response;
[code]...
Which I suppose is alphabetically ordered.I am unable to use OrderBy in the forms property sheet because tblFreq.FreqID is not an available field, even though it's an expression in the query.
I am trying to use the template provided in the Access database wizards, pages and projects. Its called Order Entry. What i would like to do is edit the template to fit my needs but i need to change the Product ID feild from Autonumber to a product id of my own. I would however like to keep it as the Key.

I have an acces form to input client orders. Each order has its own order number a different client. On the same form I have a button to generate a report based on the inpuuted data on the same form which works perfectly fine.
Now I need to use same report to save each order in a specific folder on my computer in pdf format. However I would like to have the file generated as follows ordernumber "-" clientname.pdf. This way each order is saved in the same folder without overwriting the previous one.
Is it possible to direct the placement/order new of fields when modifying an Ms Access database in code?
I need to modify the schema of an MS Access database via code - but I want to be able to direct the order or placement of the fields within the tables.
For example - if TableOne has 3 fields - Field10, Field20 and Field30.
I would like to be able to add say Field15 between Field10 and Field20 - not just append it to the end of existing fields.
I believe it is possible as you can do it within Ms Access itself. I can use ADO, DAO, ADOX or SQL for that matter - but it seems all of these offer no placement of the field within the table.
So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name If Me.txtLastName > "" Then varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND " End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
I have a startup form with three buttons. All three buttons have Tab Stop set to No. However, when I open the form, there is a highlighted box around what would have been the first button set in the tab order had Tab Stop been set to Yes. Is there a way to not display the light green box around the text in the button?
My tab order is the way I want it and when the user enters after the last field on the form, they get a new record. Problem is, the cursor is putting them in the last field on the form instead of the first one. I don't get it. The first field is first on the tab order list. Help.
