I want to create a country info database. For example, Qatar (country) and the Driving info required when driving in qatar and the visa info required.
I would like a form with drop down options and when i selected which country and then driving or visa, at the bottom it would display the specific info based on my selection in a memo field lets say.
hey,
i have a customer form which includes a "Country" combo box.. the reason i did this is because i have a separate table with a list of countries and their VAT (Value Added Tax, you americans call it sales tax i think :)) rates.
i want this country saved in the customers table.. i need the country table to act merely as a source of data. Now ive spent a good hour tying to fix it messing around with the relationship between the two tables and the combo box itself.. but ive only been able to come to two end results
a) access tells me i cant save the new customer record cause a related record is required in the country table.
b) access enters a new line in my country table with the autonumber of the country selected on the add new customer form in the Country field.
im stumped as to where the problem is:// how can i fix it?
My current database is in need of an upgrade. Currently (view image), as you can see (its the only form), each student entered into the database can only have one course. However, I would like to add the ability for students to have multiple courses. my problem isn't so much how does the database user enter in the new course for the student. This can be achieved with another form. However, I am struggling on how I would display these multiple course, in a user friendly way, on a form. What controls do i use? I'm thinking a table control would be suitable (much like an excel spreadsheet) as it would allow show all the courses/ edit a specifc field if required. However i do no believe access 2010 has this control.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello once again,
I am wondering how I can display information on a form that is not of the same record source without using a subform.
Right now, I have a form setup with qryAll as the record source which provides the information to a listbox i have setup on the form. When I select something in this list box, I want to display information related to it from a table based on a CenterID. Is this possible to do? I won't need to edit the values, I just need to display them into a textbox or something.

I have a small access 2010 system. The database design was not good (replication of data all over the place) so I have been tidying up the design but have hit a few problems.I am using a form which contains amongst other things a customer name. The customer name used to be part of the enquiry table, and was picked up directly from there. I have replaced this with the key to the customer table.The only way I have managed to pick the customer name up is to change the control from a text box to either a list box or a combo box. I then have to set column count to 2 set the widths to 0 and 3 to hide the 1st one (the ID) and then set the bound column to 2 to show the customer description.
This is fine up to a point BUT the format controls on the list/combo are different from the text box so I can't replicate the back style and back colour (I had transparent and no colour respectively); the back style has disappeared and how to make the back color as "no colour".Also I end up with 2 little up and down arrows (for the list box) or ma bigger arrow for the combo.
I have a question regarding the display of a list of numbers that are stored into a field of my database. Currently the numbers are comma-delineated which is fine with me, but I was wondering if there is a way to change the display of those numbers on the form so that it is easier to read.
Example:
current format - 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10
desired format - 1-4, 7-10
Hi everyone,
I've tried several different things to get around this problem and have found out a lot about what won't work!
Basically I am building a HR database. The main table is M_CandidateDetails and the primary key is CandidateID. This is a foreign key in all of the other tables: MCandidateEducation, MCandidateEquipExp, MCandidateSector. (I've attached a screenshot of the relationships.)
Goal:
What I want to do is create a continuous form with one record for each candidate. A record will show all of the info pertaining to a candidate. The form is to be used to for searching and filtering candidates.
Attempts..
First I tried creating a query to combine all of the information. (I've attached a screenshot of the query). The only problem with that was if joe bloggs had worked in 3 different industry sectors there would be 3 records for him. (I did have problems with the query not being updatable - solved that though by using the Dynaset property of the form)
Next I tried basing the form only on the M_Candidates table and using listboxes to display the information from the many-side of the various tables. But that didn't work as you cannot use an unbound control on a continuous form.
Then I tried putting in subforms instead of listboxes but you can't use subforms on a continuous form.
I'm out of ideas now- can anyone give any tips?
I have a form with cascading combo boxes pulling from a table. They work perfectly, no worries. My problem now is if I do not enter information in every combo box (i.e. only two out of four combo boxes), how can I still run the query and get the appropriate information?
For example (these are my combo box titles in order):
Product
Type
Customer
Contract #
I don't want to necessarily look by Contract # all the time, but sometimes just by the general Product and Type to get a larger view. How do I set up expressions/criteria in my query to accurately produce that information? Right now it just produces a blank query table if I don't fill out all the boxes.
I've tried a couple of expressions with "isnull" criteria, but I must be doing it incorrectly.
Basically, I have a database table that is maintained every week. It is about e-mail account licenses for Office 365.
Each column represents a week of license data for every mailbox account which is about 10 000 plus users with the date as the field headers( something like "License information as of 06122013").
Basically, I have created 52 queries based on the license type I require to be calculated & I have a form created to control it. However, right now it is all output only as I have yet to create any user parameter to specify on any of the queries about the date I want
As I am currently unsure how to specify all the queries to use one field date header which I want the user to specify via drop down list in order to calculate all the licenses on this specific date.
For example, if I want to see the license information for 06/11/2013, I would choose "License as of 06112013" & it would then run all the queries based on the header specified earlier & output that information on the form.
Right now the queries are all configured as the "Select" type.
Hi
My name is Dana and this is my first post here .
I am a DB newbie , i started to teach my self MS Access with a small project as a start .
I made a simple client data table where there are country and city fields + phone , fax , etc etc ... .
I made 2 tables 1 for the countries and 1 for the cities .
I know that it is a very familiar question :o
How can we do the following
when you select a country in the client table , only cities of this country show up in the city combo box .
I found some answers here and there , but as a newbie , the codes where difficult to understand .
I attached my source file and i will be thankful if someone could help and to give me a simple explanation of the codes concept .
I just want to add the codes in the table not in a form , i found some answers by adding codes to a Form :confused: . Because as i know i can export only tables and queries to sql.
Hi All!!
I need help with the code for a combobox. The thing is that I've created a form where the user has to select the country, then the state and finally the city. What I need is that once the user selects the country, the combobox of the state shows only the states of that country and then the combobox of the city shows only the cities of the chosen state. I'd appreciate all the help given. Andrew.
I have a form (Create Guest). Employees can add guests and fill in the details. There is a label Country that Employees can fill in manually.
The problem now is that this is very fault sensitive (people type: "The Netherlands", "Holland" or "Netherlands" for example while this is one country).
How do I create a country drop-down list so that employees won't have to type the country in manually. I don't think adding all the countries in the world in my table is a good solution.
When i"m creating a database and the tutorials tell me to select CHAR under DATA TYPE, that is not one of the selections. Can Someone tell me why??
Thanks,

i have created tables as provinces, districts and sub-districts in my other forms say member i have create a look up wizard to the provinces, districts and sub districts. every province has multiple cities and every districts has multiple sub-districts my question is how to set properties so that if i select a specific province all its districts should appear in district field and districts of other provinces should be filtered. a good example is on some websites when we select a specific country all its cities or states appear in city field and if we change our option to some other country city drop box also changes to the cities of that respective country...

Im doing a login page for my website, and i am having trouble connecting to the DB:
'Database connection info and driver
strCon = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};uid=;pwd=letmein; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath(strAccessDB)
where strAccessDB = "cs334-45/Kosy/Kosy.mdb"
cs334-45 is my computer name in the virtual directory.
Im getting this error:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0172 (0x80004005)
The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.
/Kosy/check_user.asp, line 21
I dont understand. I thought that the virtual directory was mapped to the physical directory
anyway? So why do I have to enter a virtual path?
take a look at the 2 databases and the queries qryOSHAbyJob in the one database and qryOSHAJob in the other database?
One will return the data I want and the other one only returns the last record entered.
I will attach the db's. I am working in A2007.
Non-techy IT type of question...
How to best setup a database (knowledgebase) for use in making various work place hardcopy and electronic intetacive version process checklists that may share some of the same info ?
Eg, checklists for a building dept for how to get permits for different types of buildings that may all require some of the same types of plans and permit application docs, but may also require other plans/docs specific to the particular type of building... but in order to update a requirement in the checklist/s only one database item would need to be changed in order to update all the checklists that include that common item.
Then to carry it one step further... to use the same database to update info publications that may have checklist type information in the narratives about the same building permit requirements.
Hope that makes sense.
Thoughts ?
Where else to look ?
I want to filter a database based on the info typed into the text box, after this, clicking on the button search and filter the database..I have an issue in my code, because I know just how to filter it based on a field but not for all..The fields I have are: Batchnumber, ModelnumberID, OperadorID, Datet, TestResults, Units and Status
My code is:
Me.Requery
Me.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = False
[code]....
How does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

I am very new to access and have a question which I think is very easy to answer. What I have is an access file with a listing of companies, their contacts and what services we provide for them. (each company/client/service is listed in a row with each new set of information on the row below it).
What I am looking to do it to create a data access page that anyone in our office can view. I want the access page to have a text box where they can type in the name of the company, then click a 'search' button. That will then display the results in a box below everything. The results would be the contact and the services (there are other columns in the datasource as well, but I didn't list them).
If anyone can shed some light onto my problem it would be most appreciated!
Thanks
Is it possible for me to give them access to part or all of the database so that they can run queries to target venue mailshots etc if so how would i do this?Secondly my concern is that the database is valuable and I want to protect myself from potential theft of info, ie what stops them taking the database and using it for there own purposes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an access database and I plan on splitting it so the FE will be on each users workstation and the backend will be in a folder on the server.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to develop (create) a database using MS Access 2007 or 2010 about Amazon.com.
My ideas are:
1. Create a form to lookup items in the actual amazon website, and then sort the results of the search.
2. View the results. If I select Add to Cart or Add to Wish List, send the item information to my Access database.
I'm a relative newbie to the more advanced features available to Access.
If someone could help me or point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I have one table that contains companies and associated contact info. Each company can have more than one unique number ID (3 digit alphanumeric).
I want to take this table and run a query to create a new table that will only have one instance of each company name, along with the other contact information. The unique ID's aren't needed in this table (but it would be great if I could somehow toss them in, too).
This new table would then be used to create a form with a combo box containing all of the names to quickly jump to their contact info.
Any and all help would be appreciated. If a query isn't the best avenue for this, then please point me in that direction, too.
Thanks!
Hello!
I have a 1-many relationshiop:
TRANSACTION -> PRODUCTS
is there a way to have a field in a query called "ALL PRODUCTS" separated by commas? I need this as text in a report, not as a list (not one below the previous one).
EXAMPLE
[TRANSACTION ID] [CLIENT] [ALL PRODUCTS] (autogenerated)
1 | MARY | garlic, onion, pumpkin
2 | GEORGE | onion, pumpkin
[TRANSACTION ID] [PRODUCT ID] [PRODUCT]
1 | 1 | garlic
1 | 2 | onion
1 | 3 | pumpkin
2 | 2 | onion
2 | 3 | pumpkin
I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
Thank you.
