hi
is there away to filter rows when certain values in three different tables are the same. e.g. it is a stock control db - so when goods orded = goods in = goods taken - can this then be filtered automatically to hide rows and avoids congestion on the user interface (form)?
thanks

I have a database where I have 3 tables. first is client data, second orders data and third the products data.
What I would like, is to have a button on my form that after selecting from a combobox a product, it wil enter it in the tabel orders in the next available free record (row). I created a button and the combobox in the client form. The Products table has also the price per unit in it. It should take the whole row of data and put it in the Orders table.
Is there a way to do this? I guess it needs to be done with vba, but not sure.
I would like a textbox in my vendor form to display the number of times that the vender’s name appears in a jobs-completed table during a particular calendar year. I’m not sure where to start. I have tried building a query as follows:
SELECT Count(tblCompletedJobs.Job#) AS CountOfJobs
FROM tblCompletedJobs
HAVING (((tblCompletedJobs.DateOfEngagement)>=#1/1/2006#));
Any suggestions appreciated!
I am working with a training database. I am a fresh newbie to access (more of an excel user).
I need to find employee's who have never completed a certain training (DPW Medication Training), which is mandatory.
I have the following tables:
Employee data TBL - Contains active ee's names
CompletedTrainings - Contains all trainings completed by individual
Events - name of all the trainings, including mandatory trainings
I have the following queries:
DPW Med Training - Lists all who have completed the training
DPW-Med-Last - Lists when each employee last had the training
Med_01 - Lists those who have had the training, but need it renewed
Any thoughts?
I have a form that a user fills out and the record is not uploaded to the database until the user hits the submit button. In other words, if the user closes the form without saving, the record is not inserted.
My end goal is to have the user click the button and have 3 things happen:
1) Record inserted into the database
2) A PDF of the record is saved to a per-identified directory
3) An outlook new message window opens with recipients pre-entered and the newly created PDF included as an attachment.
I can achieve steps 1 and 2 no problem. However, the way I get the PDF is by having the VBA simply print and the user selects the Adobe PDF. This does not let the VBA dictate the directory (or file name) and then makes me completely stumped for step 3.
I have some code that checks if a file exists, its file size, creation date and date modified. The code works fine..however..
I need to import the file it is checking and that file can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to complete its posting. In fact I used the code to check it the other day and the code showed that it exists, its creation/modifed date and also its file size - however, the file size was what it was at that moment I ran the code. If I immediately re-run the code, the file size changes - obviously due to the fact that the file is still posting (and growing due to the date being posted to it). Also note that the (completed) file size will vary each day the file is posted
So, what I would like to know is, is their a way to check to see if a file has completed posting? Something akin to .filecreated like .filecompleted (yes or no) type thing?
Here is the code:
Public Sub sub_chk_files2()
Dim obj_fs As Object
Dim obj_folder As Object
Dim obj_files As Object
Dim obj_f1 As Object
Dim db As DAO.Database

I have created an append query to update completed courses to a previous education table.
INSERT INTO Education ( ID, [Qualification Name], [Level], [Date Achieved] )
SELECT Courses.ID, Courses.CourseName, Courses.CourseLevel, Courses.CertRecvDate
FROM Courses
WHERE (((Courses.CertRecvDate) Is Not Null) AND ((Courses.CourseCompleted)=True));
The theory here is if CourseCompleted checkbox is check and there is a value in CertRecvDate, the qualification has been achieved and therefore should be added to the previous education table (which will be used later for CV's etc)
The problem I face is I only want it to add any particular course once to the previous education table and not every time the query is executed. I am thinking I need to pass the CourseID field aswell to the education table and somehow check to see if that has been already added .
I have attached a screenshot showing the structure of the two tables.
I have created an access database to track orders through out production. I have also created a form labeled "orders" with a subform where it has all the orders information, customer info and product info. Along with this there are 3 check boxes for each order they are labeled, "Routed", "Pressed" "Finished". I am looking for a macro for when I click the "finished" check box that order is moved to another form to reduce the amount of clutter on the orders form. Is there anyway to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify.
(2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
How do you make certain fields "required" to be completed before exiting?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm enrolling medical centers in a new multi-center database. There are a number of steps that must be completed before the center is enrolled in the project. I have a form that serves as a checklist. I want the textbox at the bottom of the form to display the percentage of steps completed. I guess you would have to count the number of fields on the form that are filled in, but I don't know how to do it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a primary school database. I'm trying to create a form that allows a teacher to select their class, then select a subject and then be presented with a data entry form in a table layout that lists only their student's names in one column and an empty column to input results for the selected subject.
To simplify my explanation to just three tables, lets say my tables are:
> Students....which stores student names plus a foreign key for their class
> Classes...which stores the class name
> Results...which stores all the results (fields are: ResultID (key), StudentID, SubjectID, Result, DateofResult)
I have no problems creating reports where the teacher selects their class from a combo box to generate a report based on a crosstab query. But this one has me stumped.
I have a form with lots of combo boxes and text boxes. They are all linked to various MS Access tables and some of the fields are mandatory. I would like do an check to see if all the mandatory fields are not null i.e. are populated with a value and then run an update query for my master table in the database to flag the records as being complete if all the mandatory fields are populated.
If (IsEmpty(tab1.cmb_a)) Then do something
But I am just blank at the moment on how to proceed, especially on how I can do all the checks and then populate the database.
I have 2 tables, one is like a main table, containing all of the main data, such as a Job Number, Customer, Quantity, etc. I have a second, related, table that acts a breakdown of information. There may be several related records to one main record, it entirely depends on the nature of the job.
What I'd like to do is run a function that looks at a main record, checks if all the related records COMPLETED field is ticked and then tick a field in the main record. I only want it to do this for records where all of the related records are COMPLETED.
I have a table called Neutron2015. I want the current date and time to complete when entries are made in two other fields. So I am looking for this date and time to populate in EXLStart when an entry is made in Processed By, and also the current date and time to appear in EXLEnd when an entry is made in Completed By with the bold word being the field names.
Is this possible, and how difficult is it?

It seems I continue to run into this problem.
A company sells products in packages.
Example: Let’s say you build PCs
All of your PCs are sold as a complete product with 10 or so components
Your choices are to reenter every item each time you make a new quote, or automate the process.
This is the current method
Step1:
Create multiple tables identical with the orders detail table, and create all of the records needed to satisfy the order packages. Each table is one order package.
Step 2:
Create an order as you normally would.
Step 3:
Change the linking number in the package table (to the appropriate order number)
Step 4:
Paste the contents if the table into the Order Detail Table.
This works well but is labor intensive, and is not error proof.
So finely the question. Is there a way to automate this process with the selection being made form either a drop down list or a query .
My gut tells me it a macro thing but I don’t use macros for much and my VBA skills are limited to adapting code that I pick up here and there.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe
Hi everyone,
I'm sort of new to Access, but over the past few months I've been able to develop an inventory database for my work which turned out quite nicely and does everything I need it to, except for one thing.
I want to also create invoices for my customers, and after looking at examples I understand that most people link the "order" with the invoice, so that there is one invoice per order. However, I need the ability to combine many orders into one invoice. That's where I'm stuck.
I don't know how to arrange my relationships and forms so that I can "pick" the orders I want on my invoice, and not at the time of the Order, but at some point after. Basically my orders will be established, but their allocation to invoices won't, until I come along and put them into their rightful bill.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm pretty stumped.
Thanks a lot for your help.
i've now converted a large database to run with sql as well as linked jet tables. The main issue was checking every recordset to ensure it opened properly. I also found that sql returns a few different errors code from Jet, that needed trapping differently = all OK.
Now, in some cases I had opened the backend Jet table directly in order to use seek on a particular index, so this needed changing, as this is not available with SQL
I may well be wrong but i couldn't see an easy way of traversing a recordset table in SQL/ODBC according to a particular segmented key
Instead I was able to modify my process to extract the data I wanted with a query, and I then used a recordset on the query, which is fine.
HOWEVER, to emulate the index I was using, the query is sorted on about 6 or 7 different segments, the first of which is CustomerCode. Now when I opened the query to view it, I changed the sort order by clicking on a date column (as it happens) to sort it. When I then closed and reopened the query it still opened sorted on the date column, which is not right, as the customners are now all out of sequence. When the whole dataset was re-extracted it did return to the original and correct order
THEREFORE Is there a way of forcing a query to reset itself to its original ordering sequence. I think it is not likely that any user would ever open a query directly anyway, but it would be nice to ensure the query is always processed in the intended order. Perhaps it isn't a problem at all - maybe when a query recordset is opened in code, the sort order is reset anyway, but I would appreciate some views on this.
Thanks in anticipation
I am creating a database for a company that sells a product with a variety of options.
They have all their previous orders in a works spreadsheet file. Each customer has their own file with every order for the past 15 years. There are probably about 1.5 million records.
The company wants all those 1.5 million records accessible in their access database.
I've brought in about 20 records for the history and they can run a query to see a customer's past orders by their account number.
My question: Should I put all the history into one gigantic table or would it be best to try and create separate tables for the history? (Maybe history by state.)
The history table then will take the new orders each year and add to that table.
(Eventually, once the database gets done I'm thinking we'll have to step up to SQL but not sure.)
Thanks for any advice.

Hello.
How can I preserve the user-defined sort order in a column in a table?
Every time I exit the table, and go back, my items have been alphabetically sorted. This results in my Combo Box displaying the list in alphabetical order, rather than my custom order.
Thanks ahead.
I’m trying to make a simple program form y Company as enclosed. But since I am new about Access I don’t know how I can solve my problems certainly so, I need your help about.
We are getting orders from the customers and we are buying from domestic market. I want to make easier to send purchasing orders to my suppliers. Normally, as you can see from the enclosed file sales person enter the order to the system (Orders TARIK KARABAY form). We want to use these data while preparing purchasing orders but we are buying some of the goods completely manufactured by our suppliers. We mean we buy the item and sell directly to the customer. This step is easy. At the same time we are buying parts from suppliers and assemble in our warehouse. I mean we produce them. This is the problem I have. One of the goods we buy is HTS3; we buy directly as HTS3 from the supplier or we buy HT3 from one supplier and R3 from another one and KD3 from a third one and we assemble HT3, R3 and KD3 in warehouse and we obtain HTS3.
While buying as HTS3 it is easy as the only thing is to add Supplier name to the system. But while it would be produced in house, the system has to prepare purchasing form for HT3, R3 and KD3.
Purchasing department will see the Order Form, they would prepare the purchasing easily without writing again.
I don’t know what kind of tables and forms I have to open to solve this problem.
I have a database of submitted orders that were temporarily held by our Order Management group for any one or more than one reason categories. There are 20 possible errors that could cause this temporary hold to occur. Once the error(s) is/are fixed, usually by getting missing information, then the order is released to the fulfillment group.
The basic information needed is the average duration between the Hold Date and the Release Date for a particular reason. So, in the table, the fields of concern are:
HoldDate
ReleaseDate
Reason1
Reason2
Reason3
etc. The Reason fields are Yes/No.
I want to be able to get a report that shows the average duration for each reason, but all in the same report. I can get it for a single reason, but without writing 20 separate queries or putting 20 formulas in my report, I can't seem to get what I need.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
