Right, disclaimer over, hopefully someone can help me with this.
Essentially, I have a table of employees who have something called an OUC - this is a group identifier which allows us to recognise certain info about them. The first three digits relate to the line of business (LOB) that the employee is in.
ie. John Doe - JPGA2X; Joe Bloggs - JPGB3Y; Frank McRank - JDH3B;
John Doe and Joe Bloggs both are in the IT LOB (as defined by JPG), and Frank is in Finance (as defined by JDH).
I currently put the OUC in the employee table, and have got a translation table for OUC->LOB (ie the left three digits of ouc's, and how they equate to the correct LOB). What i can't work out how to do is get the two tables to interact. How do i get the employee table to automatically work out which LOB the employee is linked to?
I hope this is clear, and that someone is able to work out why i am being such an idiot about this! (it's probably basic principles of Access that i've skipped over in my haste!!).
i build a query that filter names. i want that when the user start to write the name he want to find in the query , he will get a list of names that starting with the same letter he wrote how can i do this thing in access ?
tblTreatment contains Cost for different AppointmentTypes.
The above two tables are linked as 1-M relationship (1 Treatment can have Many Appointments)
Entering data in the tblAppointment - AppointmentType and AppointmentCost are the fields in tblAppointment. AppointmentType a drop down box, so that a specific AppointmentType can be selected.
Problem: Now depending on the AppointmentType selected the AppointmentCost field should automatically display the correct Cost.
Code: SELECT sum(iif(dDateClosed is null,0,1))/sum(iif(dDateFound is null,0,1))*100 AS Calcul FROM Q_Defects WHERE (Q_Defects.dAreaFK)=[Forms]![F_MainMenu].[cboStatsArea];
This doesn't, can't find out why...
Code: TRANSFORM nz(sum(iif(dDateClosed is null,0,1))/sum(iif(dDateFound is null,0,1))*100,0) AS Completion SELECT sum(iif(dDateFound is null,0,1)) AS [Found], sum(iif(dDateClosed is null,0,1)) AS Fixed, sum(iif(dDateClosed is null,0,1))/sum(iif(dDateFound is null,0,1))*100 AS Compl FROM Q_Defects WHERE (dAreaFK=Forms!F_MainMenu.cboStatsArea OR Forms!F_MainMenu!cboStatsArea IS NULL) AND (dShiftFK=Forms!F_MainMenu.cboStatsShift OR Forms!F_MainMenu!cboStatsShift IS NULL AND month(dDateClosed)=month(Date())) GROUP BY month([dDateClosed]) PIVOT month([dDateClosed]) IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12);
I am using to select and append data to an output table. Everything is working fine until the last step. The last step appends all the data to an output table from the initial table. The intermediate steps select the data to output.
"AddExpenseToOutput()" is stopping about halfway through the list of criteria. Initially I thought there might be a null in the list, but it doesn't look like there is after dropping everything into Excel to manipulate.
Code: Option Explicit Dim rstAccount As DAO.Recordset Dim rstAccounts As DAO.Recordset Dim CAccounts As String Dim Item As String Dim AccountKey As String
I have a form (Access 2000) on which one of the fields shows the date on which the record was last updated.
The idea is that when the the form is closed (or the user navigates to another record), this field is automatically set to the current system date, but ONLY if any of the other fields on the form have been changed. If the user has merely viewed the form without changing any data, then the 'Date Updated' field would not be changed.
I'm sure this is a common enough scenario, but I'm struggling! Any suggestions most gratefully received!
I'm very new to access, but see it has potential for a big payoff for a project I am doing. Currently, I'm stuck summing across the columns for Step 1 EC (est completion) - Step 8 EC. This may be a poor design on my part from inputting the data in the table. But all of these jobs being a stochastic process with always different steps in machining, I don't know how else to do it.
With all that being said, I would like each Piece Part to have a sum of days at the bottom of estimated completion and actual completion. Again, it must show the total for EACH part.
For example, as shown in the access file in report under "Piece Parts Report" the first part (No. 2 Aluminum Base Plate), it goes through 3 steps... with the steps being 1, 5, and 5 days respectively. I'd like for it to show at the bottom a total of 11 days for that part to be manufactured.
My company requires a query to aid distribution, however I am experiencing some problems implementing the system.
We have purchased a large database of addresses and need to be able to query a town/street to find out how many houses are in that street.
I have the query and form set up to display the street/town and list of house numbers when searched for, however the houses are grouped by postcode rather than street, with multiple house numbers in the same field (see example).
Street Main Avenue
POSTCODE HG23 0DF
Houses 89;91;93
POSTCODE HG23 1DF
Houses 95;97;98
----
Basically, I need a total of how many individual houses there are in a street, regardless of postcode. In this case, it should treat the ";"s as dividers and return the result of '6'. Or in some cases ignore the semicolons as some fields look like ";;;;;;;;13". It should then add both the total for one postcode to the other postcode to display a complete total of houses in one road.
Is it possible to ensure that if a particular field has a specific value, ie, 'yes' then the reaminaing fields on the page are automatically set to 'no' by default?
If No is selected in the field in question then this would subsequently allow the other fields to be set to any value.
I have a form that when I insert a registration number I would like the value of the field "nom" the name automatically appears in the "nom" field of the form. The form uses a query.
I have a database which is working ok where i have a set of tasks in a table with a bunch of irrelevant fields. On creation of a task i assign users to those tasks into a multivalue field(this is all fine).
Using a query i can report to each user what tasks they are assigned to easily.
To make the database more complex i would now like to assign these users to a task and then allow them to assign there portion complete (but not the whole task complete) but i can not assign a bool variable to a .value (can i?).
My thoughts are my database is just not set up for this by using the multivalue field to hold the assigned users?
I am an amature with databases and a bit rusty too. Can anyone help me with this problem?
basically I want to automatically enter a unique asset code for one table that is based on product and manuafacturer's codes from other tables
e.g. for audio visual eqipment
The first table would be a manufacturers table with the manufacturers code as the primary key e.g. JVC, HTC (hitachi), SHP (sharp) etc
The second table would be a product table with the product code as the primary key e.g. AMP, DVD, LCD (lcd tv) etc.
( i would also have a customer table and an asset repair table)
In my asset table I would like to enter an asset code as the primary key of the type JVC-DVD-001, JVC-DVD-002, HTC-LCD-001 etc by looking up codes from the other tables and then adding the last number. (Ideally once the manufacturer's code has been selected only the product codes for products made by that manufacturer would be displayed). (Also it would be ideal if referential integrity could be set up so that the asset code components can only contain valid manufacturer and product keys.)
The asset code cannot be a compound key as I want to have a repair records table in which the asset code is entered as a single field with referential integrity to the asset field in the asset table.
When entering repairs I would like the lookup field to display only the assets belonging to a particular customer.
I have a memo field on a form. I am trying to autopopulate it when entered into. For example: I enter in clients info and then tab to the memo field and it automatically enters date and time. Then later when I go back to that same record to append to the memo field it adds the current date. This way I can go back and see all the dates and times when that person called. Any idea how to do this? Thank you
I would like to create a memo field which automatically enters the date prior to any text input from the user. Also allow dated updates in the same field
I have a database that contains 13,772 records and each record contains 34 fields. The database is used for historical research purposes. As I am constantly changing the content in one or more fields I would like to be able to have a field that would show the date of any changes that are made to any of the fields in any given record. Additionally I would like to be able to run a query, lets say every six months and extract all the updated records.
I've got most of what he wants sorted but this last task I am completely flummoxed. All of his projects are allocated an ID (named Project Reference), starting from P010010 and increasing by 1 each time. I've made a form that allows a new project to be recorded by entering all the details and hitting the 'record' button, but he wants the Project Reference field to be automatically filled in each time (understandably), increasing by 1 from the last record.
So if the last record was P010311, then when the form opens the Project Reference should automatically be P010312.
I've looked into this and found many guides talking about DMax and DIM and strCriteria and whatnot, but no matter how many of them I follow and try to adapt to my own database I can't get it to work at all.
The table the ID comes from is called General, and the field is Project Reference. The ID should automatically be filled into a text box called txtRef whenever the form opens and a button to add a new record is pressed, being 1 higher than the previous ID.
I am putting together a simple database to do with monitoring maintenace of buildings. I was the building number to automatcially populate when the building name is select.
I have got the the point where I have building name and number in the building name combo box but i'm stuck with the after update code builer part.
I have a task completion database. Each record of model consists of an expiry date. I need to review and update the records before the expiry date. Each model may have more than one record as I have updated the models a couple of times. I would like to select all of records with the expiry date less than 30 days so I can plan to review and update them on time. How to select all these records.
how to automatically populate a certain field. To add some context, I have a form which registers the details of a contact with standard information of contact details. There is a subform which shows the different products that the client from the main form is interested in. This is a actually a data sheet which returns the results of a query (selecting from the relevant table the client in question and the products he/she wants).
I have added a button which opens up another form and allows a product (and hence a new record) to be added for that particular client. I would like that the form automatically populates one of the fields in the form that is the client id. Given that the subform is opened from a form which already identifies the client, how do I do this?
I am looking to add a field to my table with a timestamp for each new entry.
I am working with a split database. All of the records are inputted by forms (in the back end by other users). I want to be able to see the exact time that a record was added, but without having to add this field to the actual form. I just want to be able to have a field in the table that shows me when the user submitted an entry. Is there a way to add an automatic timestamp field to the table?
I am wondering if Access 2010 has the capability of automatically filling in a field from info keyed into previous fields. For example, I want a confirmation number issued which is made up of all the characters keyed in the previous three fields. For example, assume the previous three fields are:
Block = 01 Building = 125 Room = A Confirmation Number =
Therefore, the confirmation number would automatically be filled in as 01125A.
When I import a column from Excel into a new table in Access using the Docmd.transferspreadsheet function, Access automatically assigns a field name of "F1"; and if I try to import a range of columns (Eg A1:B10), then Access saves them into a table with 2 columns with field names "F1" and "F2". The table is created as part of the Docmd function, and so I don't have control over the field names.
Is this going to always be the case? Can I depend on Access to always use this naming convention? Because I am about to start writing more code that will depend on these field names.
I am using the following expression to calculate a completion date for a project which is based on the due date. My problem that I am running into is when I get to a project that is due on a Tuesday, it returns a date for Sunday when it should be Friday.
