What steps do you(s) follow or recommend to creating tables? Any standard questions? I was reading Erwin, data modeling book and didn't see a stardard check list of things to ask.
I think I need to set the following up in a db, (currently in an excel spreadsheet - has a lot of Redundancy in it) type of inspection checksheet, by machine (20 machines) and shifts (3) There are 20 or so questions that need to be filled in, (yes/no and numbers). any thoughts?
The fields on my form are not in the same order as in the table. When putting new data in the form and moving from field to field by TAB key, the cursor would jump from the field to field in the order of fields in the table. How do I change it so the cursor moves from field to field in the forms format.
Thanks in advance,
John
Greetings,
I am just posting a follow-up on my previous post on designing functional forms. Telling by the lack of replies, my original question may have been long winded and tedious. Let me try to narrow my question and make it more concise.
In two tables connected by a one-one field name ProfileID, how can I set a new field in the second table (call it StepNo or procedureNo) so that it increments step numbers for each unique ProfileID record? Thus for each new Profile record created in the first table, a new form will allow the entry of X numbers of steps into the second table and automatically link the two records?
I hope that clarifies my problem. Thanks in advance.
thanx for the advice...that does make more sense. my only other issue is adding the letter (m for meter permit, h for hydrant, etc.) to the permit # if they are all going to be in one table. btw, sorry for the duplicate postings...just under a bit of stress @ work. i'll make a note of it.

I am trying to use followhyperlink as a way to open a link in a browser to a file in a shared dropbox folder. I have a form with a control, the control is named LinkToDoc it's record source is a text field in a table. The file path in the table is similar to [URL] ..... I am getting run time error 15, cannot open the specified file.
Code:
Private Sub cmdOpenFile_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink LinktoDoc

I am a completely green when it comes to Access and MVB. I've surprised myself in creating the db and form.
My db is for troubleshooting outlet issues. I have a list of outlets and their various configurations. Users NEVER add or change any info. They select the outlet from a combo box and view the information. The problem is that you can move the wheel and change the outlet information being displayed but the combo box does not reflect the change; it continues to show the initially selected outlet name.
How do you get the combo box text to follow the mouse wheel?
I thought an easier solution would be to disable the mouse wheel, but in looking through this forum, apparently not.

I follow a ritual of moving last to first before looping through a recordset. I started following this because in the way back (I think on office 2003). I used to get an error if don't do it. Is the problem still exists? Is this ritual scientific still?

Sub mac()

Set myRset = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Table1")

I am trying to create some code for a button in a report that will follow a hyperlink to a specific file. The problem I'm having is that the files that are at the end of the hyperlink can have various extensions (*.doc, *.docx, *.pdf, etc.) I'd like to be able to put a wildcard in the code to allow the opening of the file regardless of the extension.
Code so far:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink ("C:UsersjbeggDocumentsAccessTestFolder" & [FileName] & ".*")
End Sub
Is it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
Hi There,
I have built a fairly basic DB to record incoming sales enquiries to our business. When we contact some of those enquiries later we are often asked to call back in 2 months time or 3 months time etc. There is a form within the DB were we can enter the outcome of conversations with the people making the enquiry.
What I want to know is there anything that I can do in Access that in 2 or 3 months time will remind me to call these people?????
The only date within the DB is the date of the incoming enquiry and the date when the brochure is sent to the enquiry.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Best Regards
Keith :rolleyes:
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.

I am exporting data from access 2007 to Excel 2007 using VBA code. I have a whole number, which I want displayed as whole number. But after the export, the number is using the 1000's seperator in Excel. So for example if my original number in access table is 12000, it is showing up as 12,000 in the excel file.It has something to do with the NumberFormat property. I have tried doing this but doesn't work.
objSheet.Range("A1:A7").NumberFormat = "General"

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use Conditional Formatting Options on a Text box called "Date".

I have tried various suggestions posted, but still can't seem to get the result I need. I have a field I have to import to a database, SS (Social Security Number). In the database I am exporting from, it is text and does not use leading zeros. In the database I am importing into, it must have leading zeros and be in the format 123-45-6789 as a text field. I have tried input masks, formats, etc but still can't seem to make it work. I do not want to add zeros to fields that have the beginning three digits, or add too many zeros to the fields having two of the three digits. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've created a database to keep track of schedules, and have created a report that displays like a calendar.
Similar to Pat's example here
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showpost.php%3Fp%3D288791%26postcount%3D17
What I would like to do now, is create a DAP that will display in a similar format. But because the report uses subreports, it doesn't just tranfer over.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a simlar calendar format, within a DAP?
We want to use this on our intranet, so everyone can see each others schedules, and this is the only thing left I have to do. I just can't seem to get anything to work.
thanks
Chris.
I have a problem with one of my combo box. The format setting of the combo box doesn't change anything to the way I see my data. The row source is based on a query of which the 'data sheet view' shows my field with three decimal number. Whatever setting I change on my combo boxe parameter, the data in the list are always shown with 2 decimals. What can i do to view my data with 3 decimals?
