Automatically
Jan 31, 2007Hello,
Is that possible to set the attributes so that when I enter "Mr" to a "Title" field the "Gender" field will automatically change to "Male"?
Or is that just a data duplication?

Automatically Add A Record
Feb 17, 2006I have a table that pulls data from a linked text file daily with an append query. The data pulled is RecDate, Description, Count, Code, Type and Category.
I'd like to pull the first two characters from the Description field to insert into the code field.
Also, every days data should have a record for each code A, BS, E, M, N, O, and RB.
If it doesn't, I'd like to automatically add a record with that code.
Thanks.
Re-linking Tables Automatically?
May 3, 2005In our company, passwords expire every 90 days (NO EXCEPTIONS) for DB2. This means that all my linked tables can't be accessed. There are many other users using the DB's and when I have to reset my password, I get locked out a lot because I can't seem to re-link the tables fast enough. It also seems that "refreshing" the tables from the Linked Table Manager doesn't work very well.
Is there an easier way??????
Automatically Allocate Stock?
Aug 25, 2005I have a database for taking orders for books, leaflets etc, what i want to do is this:
When I receive a delivery of stock I enter how many of each ‘Product’ I have received, I then want Access to allocate these to the various orders to make then ready for collection.
For example, if five people have all ordered 3 of ‘Product Guide’ and I only receive 15 then the first three to order are allocated three each.
Not got a clue how to do this, guessing I’ll need to code it?
Hope it makes sense
Moving Text Automatically?
Jan 31, 2006I have five text boxes with a separate box for the date that automatically inserts when I enter something in the text box. Is it possible to have it set up to only allow me to enter information in the first box and at a later date when I enter more info in, automatically move everything down to the next box, and so fourth.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I am not sure if this is something simple in the box properties, or if I need code.
thanks
Automatically Importing From Excel
Jan 30, 2007Hello all,
Hope this is the right section to post this question. I thank all for any assistance in advance.
We basically have a supplier's access database that contains one table of prices.
In addition, there also exists an excel file that contains applicable discounts against the supplier's items. There's a common key, the part number.
There's a need to unify these on an on-going basis as supplier sends updates to their database, and our finance department (who will not move away from an excel worksheet) update their records. What I'm thinking of doing is creating another database with two tables; one whose characteristics are same as the supplier's table and another with fields matching the excel file. And write a script or something that when you execute it, pulls data from (predetermined location) database and excel file to the two tables. Queries can then be constructed using the relationship between the tables.
How can this be achieved? Did a search and no sugar. Or is there a better way. The users are access novices and would like to minimise their "workload".
Cheers

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutomatically Clearing Data
Feb 1, 2006I have been tweaking my friend's database for him. I included some sample data in the main table (ficticious names and addresses etc.) and in a linked table.
I want to leave the sample data in so my friend understands how the database works. However, once he has tested it, he will want to blank those tables (not all tables, though), and reset the primary keys to start from 1 again.
Can I have a button on a form that will do this? Obviously with an OK/cancel message box. If so, how?
The tables are called Main and Workshops.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Oct 23, 2007Can anyone tell me if the following is possible in a table or do I need to use a form.
I have a check box in a table that when I check it I want it to automatically enter the current date. I also don't want to change the dates that have already been entered manually and that date should only display the date on which the check box was checked. :confused:
It is a database that hold the details of IT equipment and when it is disposed.
I think I may have to use a form but I would like someone to confirm this if it is possible to do in the table could someone also help me implement it.
Thanks in advance
Automatically Fill Fields
Nov 7, 2007hello all, any help greatly appreciated.....
I have two tables in the same Access 2003 database.
Table1 is called "Clients" and has address type fields, e.g. street_name, postcode, etc. It also has a field called CYPAN_area.
Table 2 is called CYPAN_Postcodes and has two fields; postcodes and the CYPAN area that postcode belongs to.
I want to create a function so that when someone enters the postcode in table1, the database searches Table2 and identifies which CYPAN area that postcode belongs to and automatically populates the "CYPAN_area" field in Table 1.
any tips greatly appreciated

Automatically Change A Criteria
Nov 3, 2005Hello to all the xperts out there,
I have a query with this criteria for Date field:
Where (([tblList].Date)>=#11/1/2005# And ([tblList].Date)<#12/1/2005#))
Is there any quick way, besides creating a form and run the query based on it, to have this criteria updated itself when it's a new month? I've gotten tired of changing it every month.
Thanks in advance
Automatically Running Query
Jan 23, 2007Behind a command button, i have 3 queries being run. 2 of these queries are append queries, copying the specified record into another table (criteria set to ID of the main form) and the other query is to delete the record from the current table once it has been copied. This is then followed by another delete (not query)
When each of these are run, boxes pop up asking if you're sure you want to do it. I was wondering if it would be possibly to bring up my own box to ask if the user is sure they want to continue, and when they click yes, all the questions that the query asks about wanting to do it, are automatically chosen as yes.
I.E there is only one option box, yes and no, and no others appear.
Is this possible, if so, how?
Thanks

Query That Refreshes Automatically
Dec 11, 2007I have a database where students use a Form to sign in for computer help. I would like to have a queue displayed on another screen that shows the students what position they are in for help. How would I go about doing that? I thought that having a query on a seperate screen (with no keyboard lol) would be a good way of displaying the student's order, provided I can get a query screen to update automatically or refresh say every 30 seconds. Is this possible, or am I way off base?

Automatically Asign Data
Jun 6, 2005Hi,
I am trying to create a form which involves 3 tables. The 2nd table (CaseRef_Case_Control) is the junction because I needed many-to-many relationship between “CaseReference” and “Cases” tables.
All I want to do is automatically fill in the fields in the “CaseRef_Case_Control” table when I add data to “CaseReference” and “Cases” table. Check the relationship diagram attached to make more sense. Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
Automatically Refreshing My Listbox
Jun 23, 2005My main form that displays the records also has on it a listbox for easier navigation to records. What i would like is when i delete the records, they automatically become removed from the listbox.
Currently what happens is that i have to close the form and reopen it in order for the deleted records to be removed.
I would like a line or two of codes that i can add to my delete record buttont that updates my quicksearch listbox.
Automatically Fill In Field
Aug 12, 2005Hi everybody,
I have a table that has 4 columns as shown below:
(*It really isn't code, I just couldn't figure out how else to keep the columns in place!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Store Name Invoice Number Customer Name Customer Address
Store1 1 Bob PO Box 55
Store1 2 Joe PO Box 789
Store2 3 Chris PO Box 1254
-------------------------------------------------------------------
On my input form, for entering a new invoice, when you select the customer name, I want the form to automatically fill in the correct address in the "Customer Address" field.
I think there has to be a way to do this because there is only ever going to be one address for every customer. And the same customers will be comming back very often.
Does anyone have any ideas?
-Chris
