Access Lookup Tool
Oct 31, 2006Hey there,
I am wondering if there is somekind of tool that can be used in access that can run and locate any queries that are redundant and not used within a system. Also if there is any kind of tool that can be run that identifies fields that are in tables that are also not used in the application!
Not sure if such software exists but thought id ask before i manually begin to go through the application, this is all done to be done before normalisation of the application data and upgrade of the system
Thanks in advance

Access As A Research Tool, Not A Database
Apr 4, 2006I have a research project. I need to capture numerical values from a scroll bar into a table so they can be used to produce excel charts. I can capture the data no problem, my problem is how to present it in a user friendly format - a form.
I have to capture the following data via a form for each research respondent:
Name
Age
Sex
Occupation
Each respondent is then asked to rank five brands against seven different attributes. In format terms, my researcher wants to display one attribute at the top of a page with five brands listed underneath with the slider beside each brand. For example:
"The Worst IT Information" is the attribute at the page top
"Microsoft" is the brand, with a slider beside it so the resondent can select how much they associate/rank this attribute with Microsoft.
"Adobe" is the second brand with slider
"PaintShop Pro" is the third brand with slider
"Corel" is the fourth brand with slider
"Sage" is the fifth brand with slider
The same respondent then clicks to the next page which has a new attribute at the top, but with the same five brands underneath to rank the attribute against.
eg "full of bugs" is the attribute at the page top
brands and sliders are all as above
There are seven pages in all. At the end of the data collection I need to be able to find the average ranking for each brand against each attribute and apply the demographic information, for example
Microsoft had an average ranking of 7 out of 10 against the attribute "Worst IT INformation" against women 30Plus.
I can't figure out how to do this without collecting the information into tables called PageOne, PageTwo, PageThree, PageFour, PageFive, PageSix, Page Seven and using fields like: brand 1 (text), brand 1 (value), brand 2, (text) brand 2, (value). This seems to fly in the face of how you would normally create a table and will require queries to add together all the values gathered using different fields.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be going wrong?

FMS Access Visual Agent Backup Tool
May 12, 2005Have you guys ever used this scheduling tool from FMS Software that will do a nightly archive and compact/repair.
I tried it out on our live database (not so smart I guess) on a Friday and when I came in Monay it was corrupted. It seems to point to the FMS software corrupting my db.
I wanted to validate and use this software but ain't sure it I will now.
I like the nightly compact/repair. Is there another way to do that with Windows Scheduling or something?

Looking For Advice About Using Access As A Document Retrieval Tool
Mar 1, 2006Our organization (a University) has been engaged in becoming "paperless."
As part of that initiative, we have spent the past several months scanning several hundred thousand pages of documents relating to building systems (HVAC, e.g.) as well a a massive quantity of detailed lead and asbestos surveys and abatement records.
The initiative is indeed reducing the quanity of paper stored in binders and file cabinets, however now it is becomming evident that retrieving some of that information is a real problem for some folks.
At a meeting this morning a question arose about whether we could develop an Access application to retrieve the documents (which are very logically filed on a network share, but it seems to be beyond the compreshension of some staff how to actually navigate through the maze).
My question is this: has anyone in this forum ever tried to implement such a solution with Access?
Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Create A Tool To Fill A Table In Access
Apr 13, 2012I want to create a data base with only one table. The user will be able to add a new line with a tool (several text boxes to fill the blanks).
One the same panel, I want to display the tool, the table and some other functions (like the sum of a column, or print the table).
I think this very easy to do this (only one table). Yon can see on attachment a powerpoint draft of the panel.
For the moment, I have already created the access table and put it into my panel.

Search Tool Help
May 14, 2006Hi all,
I found this search tool example on this forum which works for my situation. Can someone tell me what changes I need to make so it works with my date field. When I search for data based on Last Name, First Name, or Account # the records appear fine, but when I click on one of the records I get this error message. " Could not locate [8/1/2005]". I would actually like to be able to search by the date field also. Can someone help me modify the database to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance.

Access Main Window Resize
Mar 10, 2006I'm working on an MS Access app.
The clients use this app with their monitor resolution set to 800 x 600.
Whenever I edit a form I need to set my screen resolution to 800 x 600 to make sure the form is within bounds.:mad:
I wan't a fast way to set the Main Access Window's size too 800 x 600 pixels.
Application.DoCmd.MoveSize(,,800,600) is supposed to work but I get a syntax error.
Any ideas?:confused:
Check Box Tool For Forms
Apr 20, 2006please see attachment.
I created a small database to help explain my issue.
When I click on the check box in box 1(train), the text box turns blue...great...and even better the other records stay clear when I scroll down, which is what I want to happen.
But when I scroll back up, from dog to train, the blue in the train box has gone- not what I want!
I would like the blue to stay in every box that I click on. Any ideas?
Thanks,

How To Make Your Own Custom Tool Bar

Let's say that I wanted to build a gun inventory but wanted the tool bar at the top to have the specific files I want people to click on. How is this done? Is it done with another program used as a developer with Access database? Hope this makes sense.

Linked Tables - Looking For Tool
Feb 21, 2008We have a nasty number of access databases spread around our network and linked to each other like a giant spiderweb.
I can easily open an database and using linked table manager find out what is attached and from where.
I need some sort of tool that will tell me where a table is linked to.
IE - you have a master database that holds the data. You have several other databases that are linked to the master data and run queries, reports etc. I need to find out where the master data is used.
Any ideas?

May 25, 2005Hey..
I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.
Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).
