1.Im wondering why there is no option to zoom in and out as we are working with relationships.
2.And even the option show all is not working; some of the tables in the relationship are kept hidden (screenshot is attached)! How could we work in this environment?
3.I do know the I can use the scroll bars, but they are not enough to perform the work more professionally
These features are available in most of the software!to zoom in/out To pan .To zoom all (extent Where are they in the relationship in Access?
Hey everybody, I was almost done with this whole thing. It is a pretty basic database but I don't know what happened. If you look at the relationships the Employee Information table and the Metric information table are linked by employee id. For some reason when I enter information into the metric information table (via forms) it does not show up in the employee information table as a subform. Can anybody help please?
Hi- I am trying to create a Registration form for Events and I'm having endless trouble getting it to work. Basically, I have four tables: Contacts, Registration, Payments, and Events.
I either cannot delete registrations when I need to-I delete a record in the form, but when I reopen it it is there again; or the pmts table is adding blank records. So when I try to create a query to get a list of registrants, I will get two fields with the same name and Reg Id, and one with a pmt and one without. I want one record per person registering and Im not getting that in my database.
Most, but not all, people are paying for events. Some people are staff or scholarships. I want to be able to see just one record for every person who has registered, whether they have paid or not. Im either seeing two records with the same reg number, or missing people that have not paid.
I have tried all kinds of configurations as far as relationships and Reg form and Im pretty stumped at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
With a many to many relationship using a junction table, do I have to manually plug in the ID numbers from the related tables in the junction table for it to recognize the related data? It sounds silly and obvious I guess that you would have to, but when I go to create a form based on a many to many relationship, I would like the ability to enter data without having to enter the related ID numbers in multiple places on the form or subforms to make it work. I guess I envisioned access using auto numbers to automatically update the junction when I wanted to add data related between the "main" table and the distant table joined with a junction. Can this be fixed using a Parent/Child relationship set-up in some fashion?
Does anyone have a source that lists basic Access (2000) commands. I have training in SQL server (so I am just starting out) but I am working with Access and the commands aren't always the same and the help files in Access aren't much help.
My immediate need is to find the equivelant of the go command. I am trying to build one query with multiple update statements.
im designing a database for videoshop for loans in access. i have got my movies and loans tables (along with others) and have got them as a one to many (loans to movies) and have got Rental ID as Primary key in Loans table and got that linked to Rental ID# in movies table.
i want some sort of command in the loans form so that when a customer loans out a movie it will update the movies table (rented out field).

the fields in the movies table are:
Movie Title Movie Quantity Movie Description Genres Rating Director Popularity Rented Out In Stock Supplier ID# Rental ID# Stores ID#
if anyone whos reading this knows how i can do this then it will be highly appreciated if u replied to this thread.
I would like to issue a system command from within a VBA function. Specifically, I'd like to start another application using a command-line startup command, but am not sure how to do that.
Hi all, I was wondering if you could use custom menu bar commands to open reports and varying the recordsource of the reports according to which command you choose. For instance, if the user wants to view a report for January, he clicks on the January menu bar button. And I do not wish to use macros as there might be many macros to use.
Was looking at it and I am able to use my own vb functions but was wondering if I could use the tag field under the customise menu bar command to specify which records to filter to?
Maybe I should just use a form with all the code behind. lol... :p
I have created a query that has the info for a quick search. What I want to do is create a form that I type the last name of my customer and then click a button that opens the query and filters out all records that don't match the criteria I enter. I want the button on the form to do both. Is thie possible? If so how? Please Help. Very much appreciated
I have been working on customizing MS ACCESS to produce a report that involves one mathematical computation from my input data. However, I've run into a problem because I can't get the program to carry out a logic command that would work fine in MS Excel: the "IF" command. Specifically, what I'm doing involves a calculation, where one data input is subtracted from another data input, but if the difference is a negative number, I would like to substitute the value of ZERO. The closest I've come to achieving this is to enter the condition ">0" while in Query Design mode, but the problem with this approach is that if the difference is a negative number, the report does not display the data that resulted in the calculation of the negative number. In other words, I want the data to be included in the report, but I want a "Zero" to be substituted for all calculations that produce a negative number. For example, if I enter a set of data, and the two numbers that get subtracted are 40 minus 36, then the difference is positive 4, and so I want a "4" to be displayed; But if the two numbers to be subtracted are 36 minus 40, the result is negative, and so I'd want the report to display a "zero" in the calculation. Please advise me on how to set this up, as the only approach I've found resulted in all negative calculations being omitted from the report. Thanks for your help.
I was quite familiar with DOS commands and was able to create access DBs and write the VBA button code. However that was quite a few years ago and Ive forgotten it all.For every image file in DIR A or subdirectory If that image file exists in DIR B, then delete the image in DIR B.
I have a custom menu bar that has a couple of menu lists, with a list of five custom commands that i want to run,depending on what is selected.I know you can assign a macro to each command,but is there a way to know which command has been selected. What i want to do is to have 1 macro that will run several functions depending on what was selected, rather than 1 macro for each button
I've been creating an automated way for users to import an existing DBF III file into an Access Table and then I'll be doing some other things after it's in. The user needs to be able to click a command button to open up a file picker, select the desired DBF and then click import and have it be imported into a new table.
Originally I had this all working because there was only one possible file name for the DBF file in each folder so instead of using a file picker I used a folder picker and supplied the file name in the VBA code as it was static.
However, I now need the user to be able to select a specific file and the name could be anything.
I've successfully edited the file picker to allow them to select a file however the importing is an issue. In order to do a TransferDatabase command I need the file path alone for DatabaseName and the file name alone for Source.
What would be the best way to split those two pieces of data up once the user has selected the file they need?
tell me that can we use functional keys F1, F2,F3,,,,,,,,,,,,,,F12 in ms access to perform commands like saving a form data , for closing form refreshing form, clear form.Or is there any way to make shortcut keys combination like[(ctrl+s)(ctrl+c) (ctrl+A)] in access to perform action like saving,closing,clearing, current form.
I want to run multiple SQL commands on click of a button. I have these three command,
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO UserMadeDeviceT(Product, ORESector) " & _ " VALUES ('" & Me.D_NewDeviceTxt & "', '" & Me.D_ORECmb & "')" CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO UserMadeDeviceT (RatedKilowattPower, KilogramWeight)" & _ " SELECT RatedKilowattPower, Weight FROM UserSelectedComponentT " & _ " WHERE [TotalComponent] = '" & D_ComponentNameCmb & "'" CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO UserMadeDeviceT (Cost) SELECT SUM (EuroCost) FROM UserSelectedComponentT"
all of these work indevidually and return the correct value but the add three rows to the table. How can I combine these three commands into one so that it will only add one entry?
I was told to save the query and check the new table had the required records in it.
I had huge problems when I tried to save the query and kept getting error messages like: "query must have at least one destination field" and "syntax error in field destination". This was strange since I was sure I typed the query exactly as it had been written on the worksheet.
Having not changed the SQL command at all it eventually worked when I skipped the 'save query" stage and just went to the "run query" stage. I still don't know why it actually worked in the end and why I kept getting error messages.By running the query am I supposed to just click on "RUN" or can I check the information first by looking at datasheet view?
I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
I need to send commands to an external device using a serial port.My understanding is that that I need to select the reference to the Microsoft Communications Control (MScomm32.ocx).But is not available in the list of references!
I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?
I have an Access 2010 database with two tables and two forms. The tables are Organizations and People. Similarly, the forms are Organizations Entry Form and PeopleEntryForm. The People are linked to the Organizations table. Several people can be linked to the same organization.On my Organizations EntryForm, I created a command button to duplicate a record using the wizard. It works fine.
I did exactly the same thing on the PeopleEntryForm, but instead of copying the record, it creates a new blank record. I don't get any error messages. Is my problem due to the fact that the People table is linked to the Organizations table?
Hi all. I really need help with this. Does anyone see a problem with my relationships , i have attached a copy. Any help will be greatly appreciated ClaireB
I am new to database design and curious about relationships. In a hypothetical situation, if I have four tables: tblProducts, tblOrders, tblEmployees, and tblCustomers, how could the relationship be set up?
The Products are stored to keep track of the quantity on hand and the employees will also need to be tracked as to how many products they sell. Customers are recorded and Orders wrap up all three tables with the fields: OrderID, ProductID, EmployeeID, and CustomerID.
Would it make sense to say that many products can be bought by many customers and/or many employees can place many orders.
