I am currently creating a data base in access for reservation of audiovisual equipment. My form provides the selection of the equipment, the date and hour to be used and hour to be returned. My mayor concern is to not reserve the equipment twice(same day and hour). I want to be able to have a message telling the user that the equipment is not available upon the selection of the hour. Any ideas on this.
I need help finding an existing or making a db. This db does not have much to it, so I am getting frustrated finding/making one.
My company has equipment that is stored in one of three places, customers, trucks of employees, and other(like warehouse, or out for repair). The db should be able to give me a report of where everything is on a given day, and a report of what was in a given customers property during the job(this is not for a single day, but for the duration of the job).
If someone knows of an existing db like this, I would appreciate a link. If you want to help, it is appreciated. At this point I would not mind paying someone to do this for me, as long as it wont cost too much.
Hi, I am new to access and was if someone could assist me in designing a database exactly like the rentmaster software on this website(http://www.rentmaster.info/trial.html). I was told to design a database just like this one but, I am not all that familiar with ms access 2003. I've try searching google and microsoft's website for database templatesand I didn't see anything similiar to it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated and if I didn't go about posting this in the correctly, I am extremely sorry. Please don't hesistate to tell me and/or guide me to the right place.
I have a table that consist of equipments. In it is a equipment number field. I need a way to randomly pull up these equipment numbers-kind of like a lottery. Please help.
I am starting to get further into access development, originally i started from a sample database and have been teaching myself as i go along. This database has come pretty far and the farther it comes along the more my company demands of me from it!
either way, it is basically a database that holds all of our asset information, equipment parts, workorders and preventative maintenance. We've been plugging along just fine but I want to help their productivity and have access automatically create "Equipment ID"'s from information that is entered by the person adding an asset. I would like it to create an ID from Entry of the Department, Location, and then a 4 digit Autonumber after that.
Basically we have a few basic departments, IT, Facilities, etc. and a few locations... So we have been setting our equipment ID's like this:
AA - Two characters for the Location BB - Two characters for the department 0000 - numbered field
So I really would like to be able to create these automatically instead of manually typing them in to a text field with an input mask.
AABB-0000 to automatically create entries from the departmental info, location info and then automatically create a 4 digit number in order to follow it.
What is the best way to do this? Keep in mind I am just barely able to do any code, I only have been going from what i see in the database and building upon it and learning a few bits and pieces of code from there. So if you start going into a code explaination go slow~!
I have a transaction table the last record is [EquipIn]. during the equipment checkOut process all the other headings in the table are filled in. The idea is to fill in the [EquipIn] record a couple of days later when the equip is returned. How the heck can I make a equipment check in form that will update that one record? I can't do this manually as we have 1000+ pieces of equipment.
My desired output of this is to have a database to allow me to quickly check in and out equipment and personnel using a barcode scanner. I am using access 2013 and started with the asset tracking template downloaded from Microsoft. Where I am hung up right now is adding the personnel check in and out (each member of the team will have a barcode attached to their id) I want to be able to just scan their badge when they show up and again when they leave. At the end I will run a report that shows who was on scene (it is for a search and rescue team) during a certain day or time range.
I have added two new tables one check in and one check out the only fields are firedeptID and CheckIn or CheckOut a date/time field CheckIn and CheckOut Auto populatewith Now(). The first problem is that I think I need to turn off (if possible)the auto creation of a new record every time, when I scan in an ID right now that record gets the time stamp of the last time the new record was created IE.Last week when the last person scanned in and the new record was created. I assume I am going the same type of issue when I start working on checking out the equipment.
Code: tblequipment equipmentid equipmentnumber (user defined ID)
tblrentals rentalid rentaldate rentaltime fromparty (c for customer, e for employee, o for other) frompartyid (foriegn key to either customer, employee or other) toparty (same as from) topartyid (same as from)
tblrentaldetails detailid rentalid equipmentid
How can I get a list of ALL equipment showing the most recent date and time, also showing the respective toparty and topartyid? I can get it fairly easily, except for including toparty and topartyid.
I am creating a Machinery database to match parts up with equipment. So they can see what the Equipment is and all the available parts. The sort needs to be like this
First Sort:
If the manufacturer of the machine is the same as the manufacturer of the part sort that at top then sort alphabetical
Is this possible? Each equipment would have a different manufacturer so I can not do some type of hard coding.
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain Tab Control: TabCtl12 Tab Control Page: 2 Subform: frmChildren Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:
I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.
In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.
I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required " Cancel = True Me.Employee_No.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
I have used a tab control to create some forms. However, I can't modify or delete any of the information. It's seems like the forms are just read-only.
How can I change it so that I can modify and delete info please?
I am creating a DB using tab controls, I have my information in each tab section. When I come to view in Form View and move my mouse around the tab page it shudders for some reason? anyone know why and how i can fix it?? Thanks:confused:
I would like to be able to add a tabbed control to one of the pages of a tab control. I have made several attempts and it hasn't worked. There is no reference to it in MS help. I have seen many databases with this facility (not necessarily MS Access). Can anybody offer a suggestion please.
I usually use wizard for creating forms only now I need to have tabs for quite a few forms.
I've recently discovered that you cant simply put your labels and field on a page then select another tab and put other labels and fields on. I've tried looking frmSampl provided by microsoft put cannot figure out hows the single form with tab control on it works.
Can anyone direct me to online help with forms or provide any help with the tab control tool?
I want a Command Button on a form to move to the next Command Button. I basically want to do the same thing as the Tab button on my keyboard. However, I do not want to use the keyboard.
We have just been upgraded to '03 and while poking around noticed that the tab control changed a little. The main diff was the active tab is slightly easier to pick up because of the highlight line (See attachment). Does anyone know of any other changes in the newer version in the tab control or any other control?
This seems like it would be easy enough, but I can't seem to find an answer. I'd like to put a tab control on one page of a main tab control. I've tried to select the page and create a new tab control and cut and paste existing tab control, but in both cases the tab control pastes into the detail section of the form (where my main tab control is) and thus appears on all pages. Anyone know what I need to do? Thanks for any help.
I have added tab controls to my already created form. My original page sits there alone, not on a tab control. How do I put it on a tab control without having to re do everything??? I tried to put it on a tab/page and it lost all the lable names and changed it to numbers.
A simple question. I have tried to add Tab Control(s) in another tab control but those added tab control added in one particular tab control are shows on all tab controls in the same forms. Is it MS Acess limitation or I just don't get it done correctly?
