I am trying to add a 'keypad' to an access form. The aim is to have an entry system similar to the tills you get in some pubs where when you click on the relevant number it enters that number in the selected field on the form.
I know this is probably a basic question for most of you but your help would be very much appreciated.

I’m new here and I have a question for you..
Is it possible to place round buttons or oval buttons on your forms instead of the normal square ones?

In trying to write code to automatically hide database window I have completedly stffed up and now have code that closes the database window everytime I startup, hence closing the database.
Does anyone know how to disable VBA or somehow keep the database open??
Recently I've been having a problem with Access (2003) that I can't seem to get around. If I click on "NEW" to create a new query, do some editing, then go to close, it prompts me as to whether or not I want to save, which would be ok, if it would let me choose NO!!
I only get OK or Cancel options. I've NEVER had this problem before.
I have not done any updates added any addons. Is there some hidden trick here or some way to get around this cause its really annoying.
TIA,
Tim
Hey all,
I am building a database to help my unit in Iraq. Here are the fields I have so far.
Field 1: Date
Field 2: Time
Field 3: Location
Field4: SIGACT (Significant Act)
Well that is the basics look like. I would like to be able to count the number of times a type of SIGACT occured in durring the day, week, and month. I would like to have this come out in a report I could then take to Excel and graph. The SIGACT has a couple different options like IED, and SAF. Thanks for any help you can provide
trying to join two tables but get message
"relationship must be on the same number of fields with the same data types"
data types are same, numbers.
Primary table has just jobnoID that are all unique (primary table)
ie 6907, 6908, 6909 etc
second table "jobs by order" (secondary table)
has
unique orderno(order numbers) in column one say 69071 and 69072, 69073
and jobno in second coloumn say 6907, 6907, 6907 for all the above.
trying to link JobnoID primary table (one to many) to Jobno secondary table (many)
Also need to note. This database is a purchase order database. so am trying to load in all past data from excel. data is in already. so primary table above with jobno is an auto number so will generate the new jobno for us. but had to copy and paste blank fields into table to get records upto the number we are upto now, ie job number 7112. I have only put data in secondary table for
jobno's 6885 through to 7112, and even some of these have blank spaces.
Any ideas?
Also how do i do a screen capture and dump in here so you can see relationships etc, which would be a whole lot easier to explain. thanks heaps

I have a table (Master) that contains columns such as MsgLocation, MsgName, MsgScript, and MsgTxt. I want to create a form where the user would have an area to type in a 'string' and when they hit enter (or select a button), a (background) query would execute a lookup on master "where MsgTxt LIKE %string%"... For example, if a user wants a list of all MsgTxt values that contain "Please hold" they would type in a box "Please hold" and the query would use %Please hold% in the search criteria.
I don't have a clue on the first thing to do to get this done. And I'm new at this...
Thanks!!!!

I am trying to create a Switchboard of my own that will do everything the database window will, but restrict certain users from accessing certain areas of the switchboard. The only part i am needing assistance on is Adding, Deleting, Modifying and Running my database items from the form.
I already have used that MSysObjects code to create list boxes for my Tables, Queries, Forms and Reports. Now, I'd like to setup 4 custom command buttons on the form that say:
Code:Private Sub AddTable_Click () [listTables.Value = New Table, prompt user for standard New table wizard]End Sub Private Sub DeleteTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Delete this table (with normal "Are you sure" prompts)]End Sub Private Sub ModifyTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Open this table in Design view]End Sub Private Sub OpenTable_Click () [listTables.Value = Open this table in Datasheet view]End Sub
Now, I know that this code is by far not the correct code, but I hope it helps you understand what I'd like to do. Basically, I want the button to correspond with whatever is selected in the list box for that item (except for the add button, it really doesn't matter what the listbox says when the add button is pushed). As far as my list boxes go, i'd like 2 functions for it to do:
1. If a table/query/etc. is double clicked, that item is opened.
2. Allows multiple selections to delete. (i.e. the user can select multiple tables and click the Delete button, and all the tables that are selected are deleted.)
Let me know if all of this can be done from my form. It would be great to get all this working by tomorrow. I appreciate all of aspfree's users help. You guys rock!
Can someone please, please help me on here?
If there are any aspiring `idiot´s guide` writers out there, now is the time to put some practice in!
I have almost completed my database, I just need to get the reporting section done.
I need to produce a monthly report on our casework which basically means totalling certain fields each month, which are exportable to access so I can produce comparison graphs.
I know that you cannot ´total´ text fields except for when you produce a form based on a pivotable. Is there anyway of producing a pivotable from a user-selected date range, and then being able to export that pivotable to Excel for the monthly report? Also, can I put a user-selected field filter in the pivotable?
So for example, my user wants to know how many cases there were for each subject in the month of March i.e. how many health enquiries, how many benefit enquiries, how many pension enquiries and so on. Each of these different types of enquiry are coded in a field-list called ´subject´. Therefore, can I produce a pivotable based on the selection of a date range and the field called ´subject´?
I am against a desperate deadline to get this done now. If anyone can spend time spelling this out in little words for me that would be great. This is the first time I´ve used Access and I ain´t done half bad, but this is completely stumping me!
Thanks in advance.
we run a family business and i do all the quotations.
i have an access database in which i record these quotations and whether or not we got the job or not, and i have to input all the data manually.
i wondered if i could set a word document so that it would automatically export certain areas of the quotation (like the date, who it was to, what work we are quoting for, how much it would cost, etc) into the correct fields in my database.
can it be done??
any replies will be much appreciated.
thanks
It basically is used to create, manage and track Customers, Parts, Work Orders and Suppliers, payments and employees.You simply create a Customer and then create a Work order that contains a list of parts and labour items.
What I want to do is to create a "Kit" of parts so that the user does not have to select each part individually when they create a Work Order. For example, if I use a mechanics workshop as an example, the mechanic may sell his "Signature 1916cc Engine" that consists of 40 different parts and some other items such as labour and other services. In this scenario, instead of the user individually selecting 40 different parts, all he needs to do is select the Kit called "Signature 1916 cc Engine" from a drop down list and all of the 40 parts and other items would automatically populate the correct Work Order Parts/Labour tables.
I would also like the user to be able to select another "kit" that would either replace all parts and labour records or append to what is already there.
I have changed the form called "Workorders" to have 2 buttons. One called "Load Kit" the other called "Save Kit".If the user presses "load Kit" a form will be displayed that enables them to select a "kit" from a list and whether they want to replace all of the existing parts and labour records or if they want to append to the existing records.
In order to create a new kit, the user can simply manually create a new work order by individually selecting each part and labour item and then pressing the "Save Kit" button. The user will then be asked to provide the short name of the Kit and the long description (I have created table called tKit). The new kit will then be saved.
It appears that the "Entered by" field that is linked to the Employee table must not be blank other wise the Workbook is NOT saved....I have tried to figure out why this is happening but can't!
The Work Order Parts are stored in "Work Order Parts" and the Work Order Labor is stored in a table called "Work Order Labor". I have created 2 extra tables called "tKitWorkOrderParts" and "tKitWorkOrderLabor" that I assume will contain the items that make up the kits..
Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

I want to make a graph that will show how many employees are in the company for each year (Going back 10 years and keeping up to date) I have never done this before and our teacher feels that its best if we learn on our own (basicaly he's an idiot).
How do I go about using the pivot chart?
I have made a query which adds up the total number of employees at the current time.. but apart from that I havent a clue. I want the graph to have the years on the bottom and numbers up the side (1,2,3,4,5 etc) and then the number of employees that were in the company during that year will be plotted.
I will use a table that is to be used for archiving to mke the query as it will have all the employees who were ever in the system record.
The table is thus:
Employee_ID
Emp_First_Name
Emp_Surname
Age
Emp_Home_Number
Emp_Mobile_Number
Emp_Address_1
(so on and including postcode)
Date_Started
Position_ID
I have no idea what to do other than to rename the axes and change the increments, but they are jsut numbers, no dates or anything.
Any help apreciated.
Does anybody know if its possible to export data from Access into a "filename.LEX" file for use in MS Word?
If so - Do you have any idea what the fieldnames/file structure looks like.
I have tried oipening a .LEX file to check this out, but with no success.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I am having error message when I tried to make my mdb file to mde. The error message is "MS Access unable to create an MDE database". Reading through the help message it says that this problem always occurrs in trying to compile large db into MDE. So what can I do to solve this problem. Also what is MS access memory capacity. thanks
:mad:Is there anyway, I can tell who is making my backups. Is there any thing I can use to find out who is creating a backup. I have sent out emails to the users, but no one will confess who is doing yet. I have 200 users now. I have talk to our IT people, they mention it would take a lot of there time to track it down.
Does anyone know if there anything I can do?
Thanks
Hi!
I have a table called "products"
One column is "Unitary Price", another one is "Quantity" and another one is "Tax"
And I want another column called "Total" that shows:
Unitary Price*Quantity+Tax*Price*Quantity
Is this possible to be made?? :( I'm a bit newbie to MS Access, so try to explain as most detailed as you can! For example, if I have to write [Unitary Price] between brackets... I tried doing this on the "Default Value" field of the column but I couldn't make it.
Thank you!!
Luis
I'm trying to make totals in a query, but instead of using all, I need to leave one out, how to do that? for example the table looks like:
A 2 3
B 4 6
C 2 5
D 3 5
E 2 3
How can I leave row 1 out? So that the query will look like:
11 19
This is probably a stupid question but could you please tell me how i can set up a form in access to look similar to the one in the attached picture?

Hello I have a small DataBase with 4 forms (Access 2002)
1. frmMainMenu
2. frmAddEmployee
3. frmAddEmployeeRegion

The MainMenu calls the other 3, when I execute the mde file the only form opened is the frmAddEmployee! it should open the frmMainMenu because this one calls the others....! I've tried several times....the same result!
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you
hi,
i'm trying to create a form for data input. When creating a new record, I want to make a field, "Date," to read from the last record and use that value as the default value. This way, I don't have to input the same date in every time I make a new record. How would I do this? Thanks =)
