Fill Blank Cells With Appropriate Data From Preceeding Cells
Jun 28, 2005I have table1:
Name, Date, Points
Peter, 1.8.2005, 100
________2.8.2005, 200
Paul, 1.8.2005, 100
________4.8.2005, 300
etc. and I need to fill the blanks with Peter, Peter... , Paul, Paul, ... etc. so, that I can later take it as a group ID and work with the data.
Preferably with SELECT query, but insert or update is also possible.
Matching Non Exact Cells When Merging Two Database
Apr 2, 2012I've a company database with everyone's software license but it doesn't have their employee ID number. I have another database with everyone's ID Number and I need to merge the two, How ever the problem is the names aren't exactly the same in both data bases. Some have small changes like
John, Sargent M :: John, Sargent M.
Samantha, Williams Anne :: Samantha, Williams A.
It's all the people with more than 2 names entered that his problem happens the most and I was wondering how to solve this in access?
Cells Not Appearing On A Shared Drie Split Database
Aug 22, 2005I have made this database for a company that I work at, and I seem to be haveing some problems. I split the Database and placed the "'back-end" on the company's shared drive, however it seems that only when I log in as myself, on any computer, that it works. On other people's profiles, when a form is opened, there is nothing there, it is blank, no textboxes, labels or anything. However, if you use the database window to open one of the linked tables, you can see all of the existing data and cells just fine. I am only 17, and I have used Access for only two weeks, so I may have missed some setting in the splitting, or a database property that is affecting it. Please help me, as I need to finish this DB ASAP.
PS: the folder settings for the shared drive (at least as far as i know...) allow full access, so there should not be an issue there.
Thank you

Forms :: Drop Down Box To Find Records (web Database)
Apr 21, 2013I am using Access 2010 and the web database so having a bit of an issue. I have tried google but no luck really - seems complex and confusing.
Basically I have a table which has column 1 of the unique id and column 2 is the project name.
When you click the drop down on the form, I want it to show column 2 (the project name) and when you click this, on the form I want it to find that record.
General :: Display Selected Form Using Drop Down On Opening Database
Jun 23, 2015I have created a Db in MS Access 2010 and under Options > Current Database I have done the following:
- Used drop down to select a form I want to display on opening
- Unchecked display navigation pane
- Unchecked allow full menus
This works how I want it to, perfectly. I then send it to a client who also has MS Access 2010 and when they open the file the form I have told it to open doesn't open, the navigation bar is displayed (with the form I want to open highlighted) and the full menus show but are locked.
What's going on? Is it some security setting the client has that isn't letting the opening procedure execute properly?
Split Database Not Showing Updated Drop Down List Entries

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: COUNT Inquiry - 3 Drop Down Button That Filter Category Of Items In A Database
Jul 15, 2014There are 3 drop down button that should filter category of items in a database:
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Whatever users choose in category 1, it will filter the items in Category 2. whatever users choose in category 2, it will filter the items in category 3. users can choose 1 to 2 categories or sometimes the 3 categories. the items will show in a subform. the subform are getting the items from a query. the dropdown button gets its value from a Table.
My challenge is that, i want to get the number of items in Category 1 once users chose it. if they choose something in Category 2 the number of items will change also. there will be 3 textbox for Category 1 COUNT, Category 2 COUNT, and Category 3 COUNT.
as of now, what im getting is only the filtering of Category 1 and Category 1 COUNT.
General :: Any Way That Access Could Create A Drop Down Box Within A Drop Down Box?
Jul 24, 2012Is there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?

Jun 18, 2013I have a drop box that has four selections from a table (NORTH, EAST,SOUTH or WEST) I also have a another table that has two fields which is a NAME of a person and either NORTH, EAST,SOUTH,WEST depending on the persons name. What I need to happen (within a form) is that when I select NORTH from a drop down box, I can then select names in another drop down box that correspond to NORTH only. Then only names from the South list if I select SOUTH etc
View 2 Replies View RelatedImages In Cells...
Feb 19, 2008Hello,
I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.
Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).
If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?
Thank you!! :D

Aug 31, 2006Once again, I'm working with a file that I got from somewhere else that isn't in *quite* the right format.
What I have is a table listing all of the titles and their holdings we have in various journal databases. The table looks something like this:
|____TITLE____|___COVERAGE______|____DATABASE___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_ABC Journal_|_1953 until 1986_|_Proquest DB___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1980 until 2006_|_Free Journals_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_|_CINAHL DB_____|
|_XYZ Journal_|_2000 until 2006_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1955 until 1999_|_Proquest DB___|
The titles, as you can see, are listed more than once, with one record for each holdings record from each database where that title is found. For my purposes, I need the holdings to show up all together. I can do this in a report, by sorting by the title, but I really need to have it all together in its own cell--one line per title. The above table should look more like this:
|____TITLE____|_______________________COVERAGE____ _________________|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_,_1953 until 1986_,_1980 until 2006_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_,_2000 until 2006_,_1955 until 1999_|
I don't really care what happens to the database field, but if it helps, the title and the database fields together would be a unique combination in the table.
Currently, I am working on an exported version of this table in excel, merging the cells 2 by 2 with a function command like this: =A2&" "&B2. Since there are 32366 records, I hope there is a quicker way. At this rate, I'm not sure if I'll be done for 100 years.

Averages For Duplicate Cells
Jan 4, 2006Right, So i've got a table which has records for the Top 40 Music Charts.
I want to be able to find out the averages for each song taken from it's positions in the chart over the weeks:
http://www.playfm.orcon.net.nz/Chart4.GIF
So essentially I get something that tells me
[Lenny Kravits] [American Woman] [24.5]
[Silverchair] [Ana's Song (Open Fire)] [41.1]
and so on...
Any ideas?
Cheers guys,
Alex.
Shifting Cells Within A Table
Jun 8, 2006Hi,
I currently have a table of contacts. For the most part, each record has a 'company name' field, an 'address' field, etc. Unfortunately, because I imported this data from a text file (I ran a VBA code which extracted each record from the text file and put them into the table) and because not all the contacts have the same number of fields, the fields don't all line up.
How can I traverse through the entire table and shift the cells so that everything lines up properly (i.e. - all the addresses are under one column and all the fax numbers are under another)? If I have to write some sort of procedure to do this, what approach should I take?
Thanks!

Various Cells That Need To Be Summed Up Into Text Box
Jul 17, 2015This is a form used to enter in the hours worked for each employee for any particular job. What I'm trying to do, is show a total for all the hours worked for the job in a text box under the list. The cells that I want to total up are named "StartTime" and "EndTime," and they come from "tblRelEventEmployee." The form shown here is "frmEvent."
Each job can have anywhere from 1 - 30 employees, and I need to be able to basically have a calculation that does EndTime-StartTime for each employee, and then add up the total for each to give me a grand total of hours worked for the job.
