I have a query which selects a complete list of companynames and producttypes, and another query which selects a few companynames and producttypes. What would be the query to select the companynames and producttypes from the first query that do not include the companynames and producttypes from the second query?
View RepliesHi All,
Can anyone help me count postcode instances. I have a query that looks at my customers table (tbl_Customer_Details) post code field (PostCode), at the moment I have got it to strip out the right side of the postcode leaving me the left district side eg. HG12 8EN becomes HG12. I would then like to count how many times each postcode instance occurs so I can create a report on the result so I can track which district the customers are coming from. I hope this explains the problem. Any help would be much appreciated as I promised the Boss this for tomorrow....:confused:
this is my SQL so far, it strips out the left of the postcode:
SELECT tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode, Left([Postcode],4) AS Code
FROM tbl_Customer_Details
GROUP BY tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode;
What do I add to do the count?
Hi All,
I have two tables; "Section_Failure_Mode" and "Risk_Assessment". They are linked by a common field called section_failure_mode_id. I would like to write a query where you can delete every record in "Risk_Assessment" where the checkbox (called Selected) is not selected (i.e. equal to 0) in the table "Section_Failure_Mode". However, I do not want any records to be deleted from "Section_Failure_Mode", only from "Risk_Assessment".
I have put a link to the screen cap of the query I have tried below. Is this the correct way to do it?

I am looking for assistance creating a query on a date field that will go
back three business days from the current date. It must not show inclusive
days, as in yesterday and the day before. Just the 3rd day past and not
counting weekends. Also holidays would need to be considered.
Thanks for any assistance

Hi:
I'm working with MS access only in very basic things.
Rigth now I need to look some information in a Table that was created in MS Access 2000.I don't know if this is a problem with MS Access 2003, because i still have some ones.
1) The Zoom tool is not accessible.
2) The order of the items, change all the time and I need to sort them every time.
If someone could help me in this matter, I'll appreciate so much
Thanks
Hello all. This is my first post on here after reading many of the other threads as I try - often in vain - to pick up access.
I am in the process of building a couple of databases, the main one being one that is an amalgamation of 4 other/older mdb's. All tables/queries etc were simply imported from these older defunct mdb's and then are archived off every month so they have 3months data and no more in them. The only thing is when it comes to problem solving and/or new queries, it is impossible to tell which tables/queries relate to which sections of the Db.
So my question to you is can I rename tables and queries in any way so that any queries that are using these tables are updated at the sametime, and if so how is it done? I have asked my colleague who is working with me to develope my understanding of access and he is at a loss. We are in the process of trying the old fashioned way ..... getting a book from the libarary ... but thought I'd try this new fangled internet thingy first :D .
The thought of having to trawl through around 100 tables and queries to rename or even re write the entire query/formulae is so daunting, I simply dont have that amount of time. Im using Access 97 and would greatly appreciate any help on this.
Thanx
To all you access Gurus
I have been asked to look at setting up and access database to do the following
To keep a record of pupils and 9 tasks the pupils have to do and also the total amount of time it took a pupil to do this task
They have a total of 25 Hours to do all tasks but this is spread out over the year.
What I need is someone to tell me the best table layout to do this
The pupil record has to have the following
First Name
Surname
Form
Total Hours taken for all 9 Objectives
A description of what the pupil did to achive each Objectives
record if that task is complete
Also Date Task was Complete
I have done a test database with just one table in it and inside that table
had all of the above but apart from name, form and total hours I repeated the rest nine times.
This just does not seem right
What I want is to pull up the pupil name and then select Task say from a Drop down box this would then insert a new field if it did not allready exist in pupil recored and then you can fill in the task details of course if the field/s all ready existed then to open that up to allow you to update this
It would then need to update the total Hours field in the pupil record with the hours it took to do that task/objective.
I have basic Access knowledge but i cannot think of best way to achive this can anyone help please

Hi,
First time on here, so hello all!
I have a very strange request from a client who wants to do something simple that they can't because of poor database design (not mine!) . I can't think of an elegant solution so I'm wondering if anyone on here can?
They have multiple tables containing address information, for example they have one containing information about certain buildings. They can use the softcopy of the database to retrieve information about the building but for backup they now need a hardcopy.
Now part of the building information includes the alternative names for buildings (for example "City Museum" and "Art Muesum" might be different names for teh same building). The hard copy needs to have a line entry for both names (proper and alternative) and this is where the difficulty lies.
Using a simple example the table might be:
colour fruit
red apple
orange
yellow banana
The output I would need in the report is therefore:
Red (Apple)
Apple (Red)
Orange ()
Yellow (banana)
Banana (Yellow)
Now I may be being dense but I can't see how I can do this! All help very gratefully recieved :)
i have a curious and annoying problem :eek:
I have a Access 2000 db, been working fine for 6 months+ and suddenly today, two out of three forms give "not a valid password" error on trying to open them.
There has never been a password set on the db, nor on the forms - and the same user who used it successfully yesterday now gets this error, along with any other users.
What has happened and how do i fix it? All ideas welcome!!
Sham :confused:
Each time a person enters a part number into the form they will have an option to pick and load other forms. Looking to have 1 form with a cmd button that when pressed will go out and retrieve an object or objects (spreadsheet, word document and etc) and then place in the OLC’s and rename and store this object on a drive with the name of the part number and form name
I want the templates never to change or be updated. Only the objects store on the drive after the command button is pressed or the Ole object is double clicked can be edit.
I've tried hyperlinks, do not want to have operators do save as, also I would have to have all the forms entered for each part number prior to versus just using templates and having them be stored.
Example of save forms names
c:mydocuments racking12341234-Template-1
c:mydocuments racking56785678-Template-2
Not even sure this can be accomplished. See attachment for a visual idea.
thanks dmh
I will explain this situation using a scenario. Let's assumed that i'm
working on a library system where i need a loan form that will only
show books that are available for loan. In this case, this form has a
main form that shows library member's details and its subform shows the
details of the books that are loan by library member. In this subform,
one of the fields (ISBN no) displays its values using a combo box. Once
a value is selected from this combo box, values in other fields found
in the subform will be shown too. These values are based on a table
that contain books info, where only the value (ISBN no) in the combo
box comes from a query. This query will only show books that are
available for loan.
If a library member wants to borrow 'booktitle1' then this book will
not be available to be loan by other members and assumed that there is
only one 'booktitle1'.
I tried to update the field manually by changing the status field every
time the book is loan out. I hope to solve this problem in an effective
way.
I am new with access and i have difficulty to explain it in a much
better way. Sorry, if my description cause any sort of confusion.
These are the tables.
book_info (table1)
-------------------------------
bookTitle ---------- text
ISBN(pkey) ------- text
authorName ------ text
category ---------- text
dateReceived ---- date
publisher ---------- text
status -------------- text
user_info (table2)
--------------------------------
name --------------- text
userID(pKey) ------ text
address ------------ text
tel ------------------ number
hp ------------------ number
occupation -------- text
DOB --------------- date
loan_info (table3)
------------------------------
userID(fKey) ------ text
ISBN(fkey) -------- text
dateReturned ---- date
dateBorrowed ---- date
dateDue ---------- date
remarks ----------- text
Thanks.

I am thinking of adding a Request form to my database so that if the user wants to add a code to the system, they could fill out the form click send and i would then be able to retrieve all the requests via a report.
I have designed the form to something like what i am after...
i have a few issue's here:
A)
i have set up an option wizard so that user can select if this is a new code or a failure mode request
if the user selects "New Event Code" i want the the text box and label for Eventcode Description to become visible and all others to become inactive.
i will explain what happens if the user chooses "Failure Modes" in a minute.
B) I have no idea what is the best method to sort the following section, if you look at my form at the bottom (Highlighted in red) i need this to be a continuous option as the user may wish to add more than one Failure mode to an Event Code.
C) going back to my options if the user select "Failure Modes" i need the bottom section to become active.
D) If that was not bad enough i have no idea on how to store this in a table.
Definitions:
Event Code ---> Top Line Code
Failure Mode --> Is the Event code description but broken down further
Any Advice or help would be much appreciated
All the best
Andy
Does anyone know of a simple database for investment tracking. Basically, investment names, buy and sell dates, and return info?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.

Hi,
I'm Italian and I started playing (I don't work on it) with access to create an Airline Simulator for MS Flight Simulator. My "program" read data imported in an Access table by a secondary program, and work on it. :cool:
One or Two of my Beta testers found this problems:
1) function "date()" is not recognized in Access 2003 and 2007. in 2003 is read as "date"; in access 2007 is read "date(". The one with Access 2007 resolved the problem reinstalling the Office Suite 3 times. The third was working. nothing else changed. :mad:
2) Access request the OFFOWC.DLL, in an Access2003 version. But only one user... and that .dll is from Access 2007!! :confused:
I wrote the database in Access 2007 and in Access 2003, the file is obviosly Access 2003 format.
I attach it here, for someone that wanna try if he has the same problem. PS due to size of the file, it's a zip containing a .rar file, that contains the .mdb (zip only was 660 Kb)
Do you have some indications!? Thanks a LOT!! :)

I have a database that records information on the staff working in the building (over 400). This information includes the licence number of any vehicles (up to three) they might be parking in the parking lot. I have created three fields in the table to record the licence numbers of the vehicles.
My problem is that to search the table for a licence number that was recorded, unknown to me, in the third field, I have run the search three times, once for each field.
Is there any way I can setup a query that will check all three fields in one search request.
Alternately is there a way to set up the field so that it contains all three Licences numbers in such a way that a single query will find any one of them when a search is run for a single Licence number.
I have a form with three subforms (Request, Employee Availability, and Employee Assign) in the image below. The user enters the ID in the Assign form (#4) which relates to the request at the top. When the user moves to the next record I want the value of the "Assigned" field at the top to be updated to "yes" for the record with the same ID as enter below.
In the end the following item with disappear when you return to the record: ID #4, Employee ID 109187, and Request ID 2 from the below form. My problem is I not sure how to get the Request form to update after the user moves to the next record.
I have two forms one simple and another sub form located in simple form and connected to query where query has parameters, while opening the simple form the sub form require the parameter values. Question is here how I can make the sub form like when I open the simple form the sub form must be disabled (not request me for parameter values) and make a button in simple form to activate the sub form and then request me the parameter values.

I have been working on this for the past 3 working days and I have seen a great deal about saving the file path to the database vs saving the actual document in the DB. The documents would be located on each users computer.
I have a Form with all the information that is required by the certification department. On the form is a button (Called InsertID(ID in this case is the persons Identity Docuement)) and the button is linked to a table called dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments. The table is referenced to the Main Certificate Request table.
The dbo_CertificationSupportingDocuments table is structured as follows:
Code:
[CertSupportingDocID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CertificateRequestNumber] [numeric](18, 0) NOT NULL,
[RequestBlob] [varbinary](max) NULL,
[RequestFileName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[RequestFileExtension] [nchar](10) NULL,
[RequestFileMimeType] [nvarchar](50) NULL

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a database which is designed to connect to an app called Canvas (www dot gocanvas dot com). It's for a client which runs a team of heating engineers. All the information regarding the engineer's job is uploaded to Canvas through their API as an XML file, and the engineers use an app on tablet to view the job details. When the engineer goes to their customer and does some work, the completed info (which parts were serviced etc) is then downloaded as an XML file via the API into the database. Also, the customer signs on the engineer's tablet to confirm that the work has been done.
Although the XML files for the job data upload and download fine, there's a different API for getting a download of the JPEG which contains the customer signature, and I'm having real problems finding out how to use this.
The API guide says this:
----
The Submissions API is restricted to authenticated users and requires a username and apassword to access. In addition, the ID field is required. If these fields aren't specified, an error is returned.
The result of this webservice invocation will be either a standard JPEG image or an error code.
Example: [URL] ....
All my code (which I've pasted at the foot of this message seems to work fine. There are no errors, and the ResponseBody object appears to contain a byte stream which would be the jpeg... if only I could get it into a jpeg file!
