I've been playing with my Access at home and creating a wine database of my own.
My goal is to use the database both to satisfy my hobby as a novice wine collector (only about 40+ bottles) and Access...so I can use the database to try on new Access tricks.
Anybody here interested to share experiences/database?
So far I've just played with combo box (after trying to build it from scratch, I gave up and just used the wizard)...my next one is to add picture to each bottle, but haven't done that yet.
First I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't decide and guessed someone may move it if required.
I am currently attempting to create a database for a wine cellar. This requires to be able to count in cases of 12. I want to express the stock as number of cases and number of bottles. For example 38 bottles would be 3 cases and 2 bottles (ie "3-2"). I am not hugely experienced with Access and would appreciate any help.
For each company, I would like to compare the rating from 201201 and 201202 (and keep going for each month) and if there's a change in the rating, update rating_change to the difference in rating values.
I currently have 2 tables in a database that I'm trying to build a query off of. The first table lists personnel & their position #s, and the second table has a column for "rated person", "rater", "senior rater" and "reviewer" which are all part of our annual evaluations. I'm trying to program the query to display the names of the person attached to a position #, but can only get the query to return the actual position #s.
I'm using the table to assign each position # appropriately, i.e. position # 10202 is rated by 10103 and senior rated by 10101; I do this with the lookup data type. Once each position # is assigned, I'd like the query to display the name of the personnel instead of the position #, i.e. when queried, it would return under the rater column JOHN SMITH instead of 10202, and in the senior rater column JOHN JONES instead of 10103, etc.
I have fought hard to try and figure this out and I have gotten 50% there.
I have a query that generates the following calculated fields through numerous calculations etc....:
[De-Merit Marks] [No Del with Major Faults]
Now the way it should work is that a supplier gets a rating (A-D) depending on both their De-Merit Marks score and the amount of deliveries with major faults. I used the following function in the query and it does the de-merit mark grading.
However I have no idea how to integrate the Major Faults part.
Basically:
0-10 = A 11-30 = B 31-50 = C 51-100+=D
If the supplier has one major fault, the rating should drop one from that reported using just the de-merit score. Two means it drops two ratings (so if an "A" on just the demerit, they would drop to a "C" and so on. Obviously a supplier cannot drop below a "D".
Can anyone suggest how these maybe acheived? I fear it requring VB code, but I am not that good with VB hence why I have relied on queries for this.
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
Well, I am facing one problem..in my application; I need to show all forms / reports name of other database( .mdb ) file without opening the other database physically. I tried a lot but didnt succeded. I tried with below code..
Set AcApl = New Access.Application Call AcApl.OpenCurrentDatabase(strfolder, True) Set AcProj = AcApl.CurrentProject
Set frm1 = AcProj.AllForms
intCount = frm1.Count
But here wen the second line AcApl.opencurrentdatabase get executed at that time the database get open physically, and i dont want that..So is there any other way around..If so..please please help me..
i have a database that runs updates from within itself.what i need is, this database to then open a another database run a update query, then close it.
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.
I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.
Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.
I am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
Is it possible to access a table in one Database (Database A) from a separate Database (Database B) and if so how. I should clarify that this is an Access Database.
I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open. and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have a car dealership database and have a servicing section.
I want to create a form to service these vehicles.
The only vehicles which will be displayed on the from are the sold ones (because you cannot service a vehcile which hasnt been sold) which i have a query for.
I also want the form to display the customer who owns the car the service details (eg what they need), the parts availiable and the parts required for the service.
The calculations i need to make in this form are as follows
quantity needed (parts required table) - quantity in stock (purchasing customer parts table)
i havent been able to figure out how to get my subform to work properly.... i've posted in the forms section (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=99624 )
it is really important that i figure this out so that i can keep my job..
how else can i obtain help? even if i have to pay for it?
I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.
I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?
I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.
I have been tasked with setting up a database for all employees the info contained is along the following lines:
Employee Number: Name: Qualification Status: Qualification Run Out Date:
To name but a few of the parameters
I have currently set up the start up screen, main switch board and the complete employee records table with form (for simple viewing/input).
My problem is this we have four departments that require access to the database
Admin - Require access to all employee records (View) 1 Dept - Require access to their employees (View and update records) 2 Dept - Require access to their employees (View and update records) 3 Dept - Require access to their employees (View and update records)
Currently i have created one complete employee record table (Admin) how do i break this down for each department so that when the info within each one is updated it in turn updates the main Admin table?
I started by copying and renaming the Admin table for each department but this never updated.
Any help and info would be appreciated.
On a slightly less important note for the time being at least can i password protect each command button on the main switchboard?
I basically started teaching myself how to use Access 2000 about a week ago. I am working on a project for work, that requires to have a report of all the training records. But my boss wants it to be color coded. He wants one color to show the people's training classes that are 45 days out from being over due, he wants another color to show what classes are due. And another color that shows classes that are over due. In my table, I have a column for the classes that show the date that they took the class, and I have another column that shows the due date of the class. But I have no idea how to go about getting the report color coded with what he wants. Any help at all would be great. Many thanks in advance.
