Linking Massive Amounts Of Files
Jun 10, 2005
Hi, it's me again, the guy who works with the Amusement ride industry. I'm trying to set up a way to ogranize all our saftey bulletins that we get.
I've already looked into indexing but the major problem is that the user will need to be able to search on multiple criteria (for example the Tilt A Whirl was made by three different manufacturers). Also I can't download that nifty google tool bar because we're running win 2000 without service pac 3.
Access seemed like a great alernative, but I have about 300 or so files I need to link. Is there a faster way of linking these files than going through and doing them one by one?
I have a pre-made index the guy before me made in exel. Most all the files are in PDF format if it helps at all.
Thanks.

Hi,
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, it's my first post and I'm new to the site.
I'm currently working on an Access database that stores personal details.
I would like to be able to link the database to a network drive so a user can see all related .doc .pdf .xls files on the network that are associated with that record.
**************************
Here is the ideal situation:
User looks up record with unique ID 123456 in the database
Database then displays screen showing content of S:Users123456 (Where S: is a network drive)
User clicks database record showing "Personal Details.doc"
MS Word opens S:Users123456Personal Details.doc
**************************************
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a client that has several users that need to send out multiple reports that are stored on a shared server drive. These PDF's are logged into a SQL database and the location of where they are stored each day and kept for several years. Is there a way to select several of these reports and attach them to an email that they can send off easily using Access 2010 or 2007?

I am developing a 2010 database which is split. In the back end I am linking to csv files - with a new file every month to link to.
What I would like to do (and have not been able to find a way to do at all so far! ) is each month to add the new table link in the _be and to be able to choose it in the front end user interface to view reports on, without having to "re-programme" the underlying queries to use the new linked table.

I need to select the last 20 records from a databse that have over 1.25 MILLION records.
Obviously the usual stuff like order by is breaking the server with buffer issues.
Anybody any ideas of how to get around this?

Hi, i'm new here and I know there's a lot going on but i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction or give me a few tips...
I've imported a very large (nearly 15000 records) set of data into an Access database as one big huge table storing various bits of information about coins. As far as I can tell, the data is in at least first normal form, in that no multiple values are stored in any columns (not yet sure of the technical term - field?)
Anyway, I've managed to use a make table query to separate out some of the content of the table into separate tables with relating entities.
One question is, and please bear with me - How do I add an autonumbered primary key to these newly separated out tables and then add these autonumbered items to the original tables as IDs so that I can set up relationships? Is there a "proper" way to go about describing this?
The following consists of ALL the fields in the original table and how i've split them up by table:
STOCK
Group
ItemNo
ListNo
TypeCode
ActualDate
SortDate
CostPrice
SalePrice
Estimate
StockLevel
DateEntered
DateSold
Archived
Ref1
Ref2
Picture
Description
Cats
DenomCode
TypeCode
PeriodCode
ArchiveWhenSold
NotForSale
KeepSold
StockItem
Highlight
OnLists
OnWeb
Proof
DENOMINATIONS
DenomName
DenomCode
DenomHeading
DenomValue
PERIODS
PeriodName
PeriodCode
PeriodHeading
PeriodStartYear
PeriodEndYear
VARIETIES
Variety
The Variety field in the Variety table is especially problematic. There were 1259 varieties stored in the original table which are now in a separate Varieties table which is great. But how do i now add an autoincrement number and call it, say, VarietyID, but then link each Variety back to the main list of coins but replace the full Variety description with the newly created VarietyID?
If any of that made sense, i'd REALLY appreciate some wisdom here.
Thanks

I have created a database with a list of product codes, pricing, costs, and supplier name. Now I have about 100 product codes which I would like to look up for all those information. Is there an effective way to do it in Access? I know I could export the whole datasheet to Excel to do a vLookup, but it may be lots of waiting time if the data are massive.

Is there a way to disable the filter feature in MS Access? I have several users that use the filter to find a single record when I've repeatedly told them that using CTRL-F is faster and less of a strain on network traffic.
I'm trying to eliminate all possible causes of a massive slowdown that occurs everyday at roughly 10-noon. There are several ODBC timeouts (even after including some code to have it attempt to retrieve the data 3 times prior to it allowing the timeout message to pop-up).
I have removed all linked tables/queries that are not needed and the database has been rebuilt. Compressed the database is under 2 megs and the SQL Server backend is on it's own server where the same queries return instant results.

Hi to all!
I face the following problem: I cannot add amounts per line!
I have one table consisting of many different columns (fields), some of them having amounts. I want to update this table by doing the following:
let's say I have the following records:
1/6/2006 A 12
1/5/2006 B 20
15/6/2006 C 21
22/6/2006 D 17
25/6/2006 E 30.
I want to use a filter (e.g. the date being between 1/6/2006-30/6/2006), sort the records descending according to the amounts and then add in another field of the table A, B or C, according to whether the total amount including the specific record is above 70% of the total or above 90% of the total. In the specific example I want the following result:
25/6/2006 E 30 A
15/6/2006 C 21 A
22/6/2006 D 17 B
1/6/2006 A 12 C
Their total amount is 30+21+17+12=80 and the percentage of each record is: E:0.375 , C:0.2625 , D:0.2125 and A:0.15. Their adding percentage is
E:0.375 , E+C:0.6375 , E+C+D:0.85 and E+C+D+A:1.
How can I do that? I calculate the percentage of each record in a query, but how can I calculate their adding percentage, so that I can use an if-clause in an appending query?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance for your time

Hello Everyone,
I'm using the following on a form in my database:
=(-Int(-Sum((IIf([LineTaxExempt]=Yes,(([Qty]*[Price])+([ShippingHandling])),
((([Qty]*[Price])+[ShippingHandling])*1.06))*100))))/100
In this case, I want to calculate a total for an order. If the
LineTaxExempt field is checked (meaning tax exempt), the total is
figured by the ([Qty] field X [Price] field)+the [ShippingHandling]
field.
If the LineTaxExempt is not checked, then the above total, including
shipping, is multiplied by 6% sales tax or 1.06. I then want this
value rounded up to 2 decimal places. This control is a running total
of the order.
This works most of the time, but I have run into a few rounding errors.
For example:
With exempt checked
1(Qty)X27.90(Price) + 6.44(ShippingHandling) gives me $34.35
instead of $34.34
With tax exempt checked (and multiple lines)
2(Qty)X141.02(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling)
10(Qty)X4.12(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling) gives me a
grand total of $323.25 instead of $323.24
It's frustrating because it seems like it works part of the time and
rounds wrong the other part of the time. By "rounds wrong", I mean I
set it wrong to round.
Is there a better formula to use in a form or query to round up to 2 decimal places other than the
=-Int(-Sum([Fieldname]) * 100) / 100 method that will give me the right results?
Any help/examples would be greatly appreciated on how to
modify this to give me the correct result each time.
Here are my field types:
QTY
-------
Field: Double
Format: Standard
Decimal Places: 2
Price
----------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 4 (some unit prices are 4 digits--Example $1.2525)
ShippingHandling
-------------------------------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 2
Thanks,
-Chad

Heelo all:
I have a form based on a query. This form has a combobox with 4 names in it. When a person is selected form the combo box, other fields automatically populate IE: room number, address, etc. Another field is a currency box which also populates automatically.
This is what I wish to happen: When I select a person from the combo box, can it show the TOTAL amount received for THAT PERSON in a separate text box?
Any help is most welcome.
Regrds,
Dee

hey all, thanks to anyone that can help
i have 5 fields facid custid empid amount invdate.
i need to be able to get totals on the amount based on fac, cust & emp based on a date range given by user, but here's the kicker.. i need to get the current month totals, month totals - 1year (so same month but for last year)
the date range totals, last yeardate range
current ytd, last ytd
i did it using code, but the performance isn't that great. there are 2800 customers it has to cycle through and figured one of the resident experts can help with a query.
i've used dsum() but not quite getting the results i should.
i think one of the problems is the user has the option of filtering the data based on the 3 fields.
anyways if you can help i'd greatly appreciate it..

I'm having difficulty in adding decimal amounts to a percentage expression.On a form in a text box I have a percentage expression of 73.38%. In a combo box I have a drop down menu of: 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, 0, -.25, -.5, -.75With another text box I would like to have the decimal amounts added to the percentage. For example, 73.38% + .5..Which will equal in the text box: 73.88%

I've run into a situation with our Access Database where sometimes when we import information into it from an Excel sheet the dollar amounts get rounded out. For example, the amount of $726.68 shows as that in the database but when you click on the field/cell it's in it shows as $726.6799. It doesn't do this for every field which is weird. The data from the excel sheet is not roudned out either, it shows the amount as $726.68 so it appears to be something funny going on with Access. Under the formatting area, the data type is set as currency and format is currency.

I have a shell of my database in the below link for reference. I am trying to create a query for a report that will allow me to track charges and payments per client. Each charge has a ChargeID and each payment has a PaymentID. Multiple payments can be applied to one charge so the same ChargeID can show up multiple times with a different PaymentID. Payments that are catagorized as Third Party Payments will have not only a PaymentID, but a TPPaymentID.
What I need to do in the query and final report is track the total charges (even though the ChargeID may show up multiple times, I only want the charge itself to be calculated once and the charge to only be listed once for each client) and track the total payments as well as sum the total payments for each charge for each client.

Hi guys.
Just a quick one, I couldn`t find anything on this or in any books I have.
I`m assuming I need to create an MDE file befire I can distribute my database for other people to use ?
Anyway, that I have done, but the question is, I`ve done this and have a select number of ppl using my database, entering LIVE data etc.
Once This has been done can I open this back up in access and make changes to the database, eg forms, reports etc etc ?
If not, is there anyway, I can pull the data out of this and import it into my origanal file, which can then be remade into an MDE ?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
