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.
My database tracks individuals qualifications. These qualifying scores relate to Unqualified, Expert, Advanced etc. What I want to do is add a entry into my roster table which will have the qualification score. I then want to have the score and actual qualification (Advanced, Expert, etc) in a Report. The qualification type is a range (less then 30, 31-40, 41-50), and I think that I will need a BETWEEN statement. What I am not sure of is how to put this together to make it equate the number with the equivalent word in a report.
My situation is this. I have 3 tables that I have imported from my mainframe system, between these 3 tables I have the data of product code, description,supplier code, supplier name, order method, and ABC code.
I am trying to create another table that I can capture daily Out Of Stock data for products.
What I would like to do is to enter the product number in the first field of my new table, and then the remaining fields will auto populate with the correct details based on the product data stored in the parent tables that I have imported.
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 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 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 put together a database for my company to track our archived files. When the files are archived, there are three important values pertaining to their location: a list number, a box number, and a barcode number. Each box has a barcode on it, so what I'd like to do is make it so that when any record has both a list and box number entered (since it is dependent on the list number to know which, for example, "Box 1" I'm entering information for), it would automatically insert the appropriate barcode number in the field. It would obviously need a seed for each barcode number to be entered before it would know which one to use, but that could either be based on the first unique entry, or entered another way. If anyone can help me do this, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if my description was insufficient or confusing, just let me know and I'll try to clear it up. Thanks!
Example: If I entered: List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 It might not know what the barcode is the first time. But once I had entered List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 366582 It would know what I was entering. Keeping in mind that I'm not showing the rest of the record, but just this end part, my next entry would look like: List # Box # Barcode # 77 4 366582 77 4 366582 ...the red representing that it would automatically fill that in, because it knows that if I'm talking about Box 4 in List 77, that must be the barcode.
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.
I am creating a database tracking physicians and their contracts. I currently have two tables: PhysicianT and ContractsT, with corresponding forms to enter information in them. I have an issue with the Contracts form; I want to be able to select a physician from a dropdown list (looked up from PhysicianT) and have Access autofill their Physician ID #.
PhysiciansT looks like this:
physicianID (AutoNum) name (Calculated) 1 Barker, Bob 2 Burgundy, Ron 3 Stark, Tony
Upon selecting Barker, Bob from my dropdown list, I want "1" to appear in the Physician ID # field in my Contracts form.
I have a table called Cars and a table called Rent
In Cars i have Car ID (Autonumber and primary Key) and Price Per Day
In Rent I have Rent ID, Car ID and Price Per day
The Car ID in Rent is a lookup from the Cars table, but is it possible to make it so that when i enter the Car ID in the Rent table, it automatically fills in the Price per day field for me?
Sorry if something like this has already been posted, i didnt know what this is called so didnt know what to look for.
I'm sure this must be fairly straight forward but I've been going around in circles trying to solve it in VBA without success.
I want the value of a field (Field C) on a form to be automatically entered depending on the value of two other fields (Fields A & B).
e.g. If Field A is Null and Field B is Null then Field C is Null If Field A is not Null and Field B is Null then Field C = "YES" If Field A is not Null and Field B is not Null then Field C = "NO"
I have a small database with a list of customers names and addresses in one table and a list of orders in another table.
in the orders table I have a space for customers address. what i would like to do is to be able to type in a customers name and prefill the address details from the customer database to the orders database.
I have two tables which contain the following fields (simplified);
Table 1: ID Startdate Enddate
Table 2: ID Unitdate Treatment
The tables are related (one-to-many) through the ID field.
In operation, the user first enters the Startdate and an Enddate for a patients' hospital stay in Table 1. Following this, the user enters the Startdate again in the Unitdate field in Table 2 and selects a Treatment from a drop-down list. After this, the user enters the following in the Unitdate field and selects a treatment. This is repeated in consecutive order until the Enddate is reached.
The end result looks like this;
Table 1: ID Startdate Enddate 123456 01/01/2005 04/01/2005
Does anyone know if there is any way to restrict the Unitdate field in Table 2 to only allow dates to be entered that are between the Startdate and Enddate fields in Table 1? Ideally, I would like the Unitdate to populate automatically with the dates, starting with the Startdate value and ending with the Enddate value and filling in all the intermediate dates. Also I would like to make sure that there is no way of having duplicate dates in the Unitdate field.
If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful.
I am trying to create an Access application where income recognition is automatically calculated and stored at the end of the month based on established parameters. How can this be done? Does it require VBA programming?
I have two tables, one called 'Company' and one called 'Person'. Both tables have several fields, but they both have the same primary key, i.e. 'Naam'.
When I type in a name in the 'Person' table, I'd like the 'Company' table to automatically display the name too. So for example if I type in 'John Doe' in the person table, I want to be able to switch to the 'Company' table and have the same name displayed there, automatically.
I have a quick question on how to enter the current date in a record automatically when the record is created.
Here is the situation. Say I have a Products table that lists the products that have come into the inventory. There is a field that denotes the day the product was introduced into the inventory. So ideally when the user creates a new record for the product, I would like this field to be populated automatically with the actual date that this filed was created by the user. Note that in future the user may edit the product (i.e other fields in this record), but the entry_date field should not be altered from what it was the first time is was created.
Is there a way I can do this? Any help much appreciated. thanks.
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I have a table with routes that tell me which carrier to use. This is based on from what state to what state it is traveling as well as the service lever (next day, standard, etc.)
How would I code for the value in the carrier field to populate based on the state and service level values entered.
Should I write a query to get the results? Or should it be code in an event on a particular field?
Whichever way works, any ideas on how to get started?
Hi all, Please bear with me if I'm asking a dumb question. I've been tasked to create a database from scratch and I've not had much experience working with Access.
**My Question** Using a form is it possible to have the form automatically enter a "value" in one field based on the information inputed by someone in a different field. ie. When some one puts in a value between 0 and 20 in one field it automatically enters a 1 in the other, and when some one puts in a value between 21 and 30 you get a 2 and so on down the line.
I have a table that is used for project progress. One of the fields is named "Completed". I would like to know if it's possible to auto fill the data in the "completed" field based on three other fields within the same table.
ex: If field 1 = Yes, and field 2 = Yes, and filed 3 = Yes, then field "completed" = Yes
I'm open for any ideas, I'm new to access and am not sure how to get this started.
i am the biggest of all newbies when it comes to access and understand only the graphical parts of the process (no SQL knowledge etc.).
how would i go about auto filling a certain field based on what's in another field? for example, i have a field called TimeZone that i want filled with either West, East, Central, or Mountain based on another field for State. can i build a query to automatically take care of any empty fields for TimeZone that haven't already been filled out by me manually?
if i need to use SQL, that's fine too as long as the directions are clear and precise as i have no prior knowledge.
