I apologise if this is really basic - I am learning as i go along. I have designed a database. Most of the info is stored in the clientinfotbl. On the main form, I would have provided an option for users to search for a record based on its ID number and then pull up various forms accordingly. I am using the "find and replace" option to do this. My first question is, is there a better way? This feels a bit clunky!
Second question is, once I have entered a new record in the "newclientfrm" and go back to the mainfrm and search for that record, it cannot be found (once I have closed db and gone back in, it can then find it). Is there a way round this?
Hi guys, need a bit of help with my Database. I have a Table with has ever player to play for my football club (1700 records in total), now i have another table called games (which has a record for every season played for each player, and is linked to the first table using the relationships and a field called ID. Make sense so far?
Well i then use a query to combine and calculate totals of certain fields and then i can use the query to show every single statistic possible on ASP pages. But when viewing my query in Access only 1699 records show up. So my thinkin is that either two records are identical (which is impossible because every p;layer has an ID and they cant be duplicates) OR a player has ZERO games in all years (in other words the player has no records related to it in the second table called games).
My question is, instead of searching 1700 records manually to find which one is there any way i can find which player would have NO records from the related table joint to it?
tblCourses holds details of all courses attended by staff and is linked to tblPersonnel by the UniqueStaffNo. Fields in this table include the CourseTitle and CourseDate (short date format).
I can easily identify who is a First Aider by selecting on tblPersonnel.FirstAider and I can identify which of the thousands of course records are First Aid related by looking at tbl.CourseTitle.
My question is - how can I produce a list of all current first aiders showing ONLY their most recent first aid course (latest CourseDate) so that I can calculate when they need to renew their certificate?
I have developed a very basic contact DB to record enquiries coming into my business. The last field on the DB is for comments, so that anyone entering the DB can see the latest conversation we have had with a particular customer. What I want to do is create a means whereby I can find a customer within the DB and then be able to add the contents of our last conversation into the Comments field. Would there be any way of doing this via a switchboard??? I am a very inexperienced Access user so the simpler the answer the better. Many thanks in anticipation Keith:(
I have looked for ages for a solution to this and have not yet found one to suit me so here I am.
I am creating an Access 97 db in which I have a form (section1) which shows its records in datasheet format(results from a query). On this form is a button which opens another form (fileViewNewSec1) where the user can input the data for a new record. In the closeEvent() part of this form I have put:
=[Forms]![section1].[Requery]
This successfully refreshes the form and the new record can be found. However, there are many records in this database and it would be nice if once the form (section1) has been refreshed that it would focus on the newly created record. I am not sure if anyone can help me with this.
The records are sorted by "fileRef" and therefore the newly created record is not placed at the bottom of the records. They do however have an auto number primary key, I am not sure this will be useful but they you go.
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name, description, type and date.
How do I set up a search on my form where 4 fields must match exactly to return the correct record? I must match - persons name (text), description (text), type (text) and date (date). I would always search on all four fields.
Hi All - I'm developing a database that requires records to be entered and updated. When updating records, the user must select an item from switchboard (Update a Record) which takes them to a screen/form where the user can enter the record number. When the record number is entered and the user clicks on the "OK Button" I need one of two actions to occur ... (1) the user is taken to the record for updating or (2) the application returns a message "Record Not Found".
Can anyone tell me how I can code this?
At this time I get a message that my form name is not recognized within the expression I've "built" in the macro.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated before I go bald from pulling my hair out!!

I have a form in which old customers can be edited and new customers can be added. Currently, to edit a customer, the user clicks in the "Last Name" field and then selects EDIT-FIND and types in the last name. The user will then cycle through all customers with that name to select the correct one. How do I allow a user to begin typing in the last name field and have the name appear? Is there an easier way to do this?
I have tried everywhere for a solution to this:mad: Any help is much appreciated.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform shows related records using a match criteria. Each record that shows in the subform also has a unique ID. This unique ID is also shown on the main form record (although not used to link the main and sub forms).
I would like to be able to click on a command button on each of the records in the subform and goto the Main form record. I can't find any threads that deal with this though - sorry!
I have created a database with a switchboard and a form ("RMA"). Currently, on my "RMA" form I have a command button that allows the user to find a specific record by entering an RMA number into an input box. My code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdFindRMA_Click() Dim myFilter as String If vFindRMA = "" Then 'vFindRMA is a global variable, string. vFindRMA = InputBox ("Enter the RMA Number to find:", "Find RMA", "", 5000, 3000) myFilter = "[RMA_Number]='" & vFindRMA & "'" Me.Filter = myFilter If Me.Filter = "" Then Me.FilterOn = False Else Me.FilterOn = True End If End If vFindRMA = "" End Sub
I want to be able to remove this command button from my RMA form and add it to my Switchboard. My problem is, I don't know what code I need to use in order for it to work from the switchboard. Can anyone help?
Hello all, I have a couple questions. First I am trying to create a select query that will show the results that I have two fields , one is "Date" & the other is "Current" For the date I am using the a between statement "Between [start] and [end].

I need to check the recordcount in a subform of a navigation frame form in VBA. What is the proper syntax. I have tried multiple things but cant seem to get it. I would rather not use dcount.
I have a MS Access 2000 database with 136 data tables in it. What I would like to do is execute a piece of VBA code which will list for me in another table, (for example: Field1: TABLE NAME Field2: FIELD NAME 1 Field2: FIELD NAME2 etc), starting left to right, how many fields would have to be combined in each table to represent a unique record.
For instance:
TYPE ID TEXT 1 1 "Cats" 1 2 "Dogs" 2 1 "Rabbits"
In this example a combination of the fields TYPE and ID give a unique record.
From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?
My question is which method of finding the last record is best, QueryDef or Recordset? Here is my data:

I am trying to use a query to find the previous record of a transaction and provide an additional field that computes the difference in the dates in days. (The days from TransferID 23 to TransferID 24)
I'm looking for a way, when entering form, to force a field to accept a value, rhs;jjc;cjs. then every record will automatically contain the accepted value time you go to a new record. That would only be for newly added record. It would stay this way tell exit forum and the next time is open. It starts the same way.
It's my way of finding out who entered each record.
I linked a table (front to back) yesterday. I had a user enter information into this table. It's a login table. The login screen of the asp page is not able to find the record, even though I can see it in both tables. I am not sure what's wrong, since both tables show the same information. Does anybody have any ideas?
I've been looking everywhere to find a better way of finding duplicates in a table and then recording and adding another value in that record together.
Let me try to explain better.
example:
I have a table that has 2 columns "Name", "DOB". I would like to find all duplicate "DOB" and add all of the "Name"'s together.
Quote:
Name DOB bob 19800201 Sam 19761211 Jim 19800201
The output I would like is to have Name = bob & Jim DOB = 19800201.
I've tried using the find duplicate wizard in access but I can't seem to group them together and just to find the duplicates it takes upwards of a minute.
i have a materialsUsed tbl that list all the materials used in a job and the quantity of each.
(ID Material Code Quantity Unit of Measure)
I also have 2 look-up tables - 1 for the material codes and 1 for the units of measure
I have another table, priceperunitofMeasure
id material Code (FK to material lookup tbl) Unit of Measure (FK to unit of measure tbl) Price
In my form Users will select material code from combo box - enter the quantity, and select a unit of measure from a combo box.
For example: they could enter the following :
Paint 2 gallons Paint 3 tubes Paint 1 pint
How do I lookup the price per unit of measure for each of these records in the price per unit of meassure table? The price per unit of measure table has 2 foreign keys.
I am looking for some advise, I work for a small service company and we our trying to computerize our service jobs through the use of access 2007, We have completed 80% of the database but are having a few problems completing, for example the search function on some forms etc, I have searched the web for help and have posted the problem on this forum a number of times but I am still unable to get it to work myself as I am new to access , the problem is I need the database completed asap before we take on a bigger contract and I am running out of time, so I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone / or any company out there that could have a look at the search form, I would obviously pay for it, I have tried to approach a few companies but they will not take on such a small job, they only want to take on the development of the entire database? Anyone know of anyone?
