I want make such menue in access that each drop down list item from menue is linked to form and once it is selected that a perticuler form loads. I be happy if some one show me how to make such tool bar menue.(i want it the menue loads once i click on the mdb file).Thanks
i have to create one Master Data transformation tool use Microsoft access. The input file and output file of this tool are excel spreadsheet. There are 2 levels of the data transformation, first level is data mapping and validation on the raw data, second level is data update on the field value.
My question can someone show me step by step how to build this tools using access and read from excell.
I am wondering if there is somekind of tool that can be used in access that can run and locate any queries that are redundant and not used within a system. Also if there is any kind of tool that can be run that identifies fields that are in tables that are also not used in the application!
Not sure if such software exists but thought id ask before i manually begin to go through the application, this is all done to be done before normalisation of the application data and upgrade of the system
I have a research project. I need to capture numerical values from a scroll bar into a table so they can be used to produce excel charts. I can capture the data no problem, my problem is how to present it in a user friendly format - a form.
I have to capture the following data via a form for each research respondent: Name Age Sex Occupation
Each respondent is then asked to rank five brands against seven different attributes. In format terms, my researcher wants to display one attribute at the top of a page with five brands listed underneath with the slider beside each brand. For example:
"The Worst IT Information" is the attribute at the page top "Microsoft" is the brand, with a slider beside it so the resondent can select how much they associate/rank this attribute with Microsoft. "Adobe" is the second brand with slider "PaintShop Pro" is the third brand with slider "Corel" is the fourth brand with slider "Sage" is the fifth brand with slider
The same respondent then clicks to the next page which has a new attribute at the top, but with the same five brands underneath to rank the attribute against.
eg "full of bugs" is the attribute at the page top brands and sliders are all as above
There are seven pages in all. At the end of the data collection I need to be able to find the average ranking for each brand against each attribute and apply the demographic information, for example
Microsoft had an average ranking of 7 out of 10 against the attribute "Worst IT INformation" against women 30Plus.
I can't figure out how to do this without collecting the information into tables called PageOne, PageTwo, PageThree, PageFour, PageFive, PageSix, Page Seven and using fields like: brand 1 (text), brand 1 (value), brand 2, (text) brand 2, (value). This seems to fly in the face of how you would normally create a table and will require queries to add together all the values gathered using different fields.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be going wrong?
Have you guys ever used this scheduling tool from FMS Software that will do a nightly archive and compact/repair.
I tried it out on our live database (not so smart I guess) on a Friday and when I came in Monay it was corrupted. It seems to point to the FMS software corrupting my db.
I wanted to validate and use this software but ain't sure it I will now.
I like the nightly compact/repair. Is there another way to do that with Windows Scheduling or something?
Our organization (a University) has been engaged in becoming "paperless."
As part of that initiative, we have spent the past several months scanning several hundred thousand pages of documents relating to building systems (HVAC, e.g.) as well a a massive quantity of detailed lead and asbestos surveys and abatement records.
The initiative is indeed reducing the quanity of paper stored in binders and file cabinets, however now it is becomming evident that retrieving some of that information is a real problem for some folks.
At a meeting this morning a question arose about whether we could develop an Access application to retrieve the documents (which are very logically filed on a network share, but it seems to be beyond the compreshension of some staff how to actually navigate through the maze).
My question is this: has anyone in this forum ever tried to implement such a solution with Access?
Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated.
Using Access 2010.I purposely disabled the Access Objects to open when the database opens of fear of someone messing with my data. This works. The problem I'm having is when I use the print button (access macro) on one of my forms, as soon as i click the button, the "all access objects" window opens on the left side navigation.Is there a setting that will permanately stop this from opening?
How many records does MS Access 2003 hold, i.e. is there a limitation & what is it?The toolbox greys out after being selected on the Menu options even though Tools/Startup/allow built-in toolbars is selected - how to activate the toolbox in 2003 version?
I want to know how to count the number of records come up for a query but it keeps coming up like this: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5150/88274572ke4.jpg This is how i have it now: http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/5117/98426599lq9.jpg
I have a form with a check box control on it and a pick list text box.
What I looking for is when the user checks the check box, I want to display a message or tool tip to inform the user to ensure that the correct membeship type has been selected from the pick list, (this has a default setting) so can accept the default in this field.
I am trying to aviod the user having to press a button on a message box to continue. it would be useful if it could be display for a preiod of time.
I found this search tool example on this forum which works for my situation. Can someone tell me what changes I need to make so it works with my date field. When I search for data based on Last Name, First Name, or Account # the records appear fine, but when I click on one of the records I get this error message. " Could not locate [8/1/2005]". I would actually like to be able to search by the date field also. Can someone help me modify the database to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance.
please see attachment. I created a small database to help explain my issue.
When I click on the check box in box 1(train), the text box turns blue...great...and even better the other records stay clear when I scroll down, which is what I want to happen. But when I scroll back up, from dog to train, the blue in the train box has gone- not what I want! I would like the blue to stay in every box that I click on. Any ideas?
If I wanted to build a database in Access can I make my own file bar. Let's say that I wanted to build a gun inventory but wanted the tool bar at the top to have the specific files I want people to click on. How is this done? Is it done with another program used as a developer with Access database? Hope this makes sense.
We have a nasty number of access databases spread around our network and linked to each other like a giant spiderweb. I can easily open an database and using linked table manager find out what is attached and from where. I need some sort of tool that will tell me where a table is linked to. IE - you have a master database that holds the data. You have several other databases that are linked to the master data and run queries, reports etc. I need to find out where the master data is used. Any ideas?
I want to display data from a database I have in MS Access. Any ideas on what sort of tool I can use to display the data locally? Can I get a free VB dev tool anywhere?
Access's reports and data access pages just aren't flexible enough for me. I know ASP and SQL well, but I don't want this database to be stored on our server.
I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.
Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).
What is the best way to turn all the menu bars and tools bars off and back on when a form opens and closes? Can you just loop through the numerated objects?
