Need Help On A Few Small Things
Nov 21, 2006
I'm fairly new to Access (2000 is the version im using), and I'm not sure how to do several things within a form:
1) make cursor in a text box jump to the front (left) when clicked on
2) Lock (and grey out) a text box once data has been entered into another
3) assign a field to correspond with another, and to have this shown on the form (ie: having a list of names and their corresponding phone numbers assigned to each; then on the form, having a combo or list box with the names that a user can select- once a name is selected, their phone number appears automatically in another text box)
4)Locking screens or subforms when moving on to another (either by pressing a button to open another form, or by selecting a field in another subform)
thank you in advance for your help and advice

Hi there,
I need to pick someone's brains with the few queries I have with Access listed below.
1:- Emailing data entered on a form.
I have a made a rough call logging datababse, this allows users to log information about calls that they take. From time to time it will be required for the user to submit a refund request. What I am wanting to do is have this on a seperate form that the user can open and have it automatically populate with some of the information from the main call log form. Once they have completed the credit request form I would like to have a button on there that they can click which will email that record to a pre-defined email address with a pre-defined subject.
2:- Populating a Excel spreedsheet with data from a particular record
I have a form where various bits of customer information is stored, Is it possible to create a button that will automatically export certain fields from the form and put them into a spreedsheet in the appropriate fields.
3:- Linking data from one form to another
On a form I have a field for Support Agent, What I would like to do is when someone selects this agent from a drop down list that persons details automatically fill into the contact fields on this form. Can this be done?
Sorry if these are a bit silly but as you can tell I am a access muppet

Hello all !
I am kinda new to access and made a transport database but it needs some changes which are out of my knowledege so i am hoping that you guys can help me out. There are the 2 things that i would like to do in my forms:
1=, I have a form where all the new cars are added to DB. Fields are Vehicle Code, Type, Brand, Model and Model year. Then I have a transaction form where vehicles are either assigned to employees or to garage etc.. What i would like to do in this form is that when i select a Vehicle Code, the remaining fields i.e. Type, Brand, Model and Model year of that partcular Vehicle Code should appear in thier respective fields of the transaction form.
2=, Now a little difficult part, in the same transaction form i want a field where the name of the current username appears and also a field with current date.
Now moving on to Transaction Type thingy. I want to two options button ( Issue Vehicle and Cancel Vehicle). If option " Issue Vehicle" is selected, a field i.e. a combo box consisting of To Employee and To Garage appears. And then when "To Employee" is selected two fields i.e. Employee No. and Name appear in a kind of frame.( data of both these fields are in other table and will appear in combox boxes). When "To Garage" is selected a field "reason" appear in a frame in place of above stated two fields.
I hope i am making some sense. I know i have to make a table for all these fields but dunno how to do all these things in forms..
Looking forward to your replies and thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a membership db with 120 members in it. Each record form includes a dropdown field for 'status' (training completed, no training, certificated etc), and another dropdown for 'profession' (childcare, nursing, education etc)
I am able to run 2 separate queries;
I can run a query to view all those who have completed training using
Like "*" & [Enter Status] & "*"
And I can also query the professions with Like "*" & [Enter Profession] & "*"
What I would like to do is to query members who are in education but have had no training yet. Is there any way I can do this?
Many thanks
Adrian

Hi,
I'm having a realllllly frustrating problem. I'm trying to enter the number 101.1 in a field, but whenever I enter it and hit tab to move to the next field it just truncates the number to 101. I've changed the number type, the number of decimal places, ect - everything! But it still changes my 101.1 to 101 after I move to the next field.
Help muchly appreciated.

Hello.
I want to prevent people accessing the control boxes on a 'satalite' mdb. I have hidden the control at the top through the start up options, but havent prevented the special keys as I occassionally need to get in this database for error fixing and such like. I want to know if I can put a password on this function, so that if they know it and try it it asks for a password before opening the control windows/table pages etc.
does anyone know if this is poss and if so how too ???
Thanx in advance for your time

Sorry for posting this here but it doesn't fit in just one catagory.
I'm having a bit of trouble using a manual input table and ODBC table to filter information through query into form view. Let me shed a little light on what's, what.
I'm looking at adding the totals of hours scanned/worked (sum of periodOfEvent) on job per "workcenternumber" (Scanning hour report - table [ODBC] SQL database on another server) then subtracting them from the hours given (job planning table - table [manual input]) to display hours remaining on project through query. [ITEMA]-[ITEMB]
Here's the problem: I can filter workcenternumber in the ODBC table "Scanning Hour Report" to display the various work center numbers, in this case it would be the following items:
BAL-HIGH
BAL-LOW
CM-TECH
CR-TECH
DW-JNR
DW-SNR
ENG
FS-JNR
FS-SNR
MS-HIGH
MS-LOW
MS-MED
MS-TECH
QA-TECH
SB-TECH
WB-BOIL
WB-HEAT
WB-WELD
WM-TECH
now I'm sitting with a query for each of these work center numbers with each query looking up hours given & subtracting hours worked to give you x amount hours remaining. Here are two example of these queries:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--==1==--
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement, [Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber, [Job Planning].[Project Number], [Job Planning].Customer, [Job Planning].Description, [Job Planning].[Planned Start], [Job Planning].[Progress %], [Job Planning].[Planned Finish], [Job Planning].[Actual Finish], [Job Planning].Consultant, [Job Planning].Team, Sum([Scanning Hour Report].PeriodofEvent) AS [Sum Of PeriodofEvent], [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH Hours Given]-[Sum Of PeriodofEvent] AS [Hours Remaining BAL-HIGH], [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH Hours Given]
FROM [Job Planning] INNER JOIN [Scanning Hour Report] ON [Job Planning].[Project Number] = [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement
GROUP BY [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement, [Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber, [Job Planning].[Project Number], [Job Planning].Customer, [Job Planning].Description, [Job Planning].[Planned Start], [Job Planning].[Progress %], [Job Planning].[Planned Finish], [Job Planning].[Actual Finish], [Job Planning].Consultant, [Job Planning].Team, [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH], [Job Planning].[MS-TECH], [Job Planning].[MS-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[BAL-LOW], [Job Planning].[BAL-LOW Hours Given], [Job Planning].[CM-TECH], [Job Planning].[CM-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[CR-TECH], [Job Planning].[CR-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[DW-JNR], [Job Planning].[DW-JNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[DW-SNR], [Job Planning].[DW-SNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].ENG, [Job Planning].[ENG Hours Given], [Job Planning].[FS-JNR], [Job Planning].[FS-JNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[FS-SNR], [Job Planning].[FS-SNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-HIGH], [Job Planning].[MS-HIGH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-LOW], [Job Planning].[MS-LOW Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-MED], [Job Planning].[MS-MED Hours Given], [Job Planning].[QA-TECH], [Job Planning].[QA-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[SB-TECH], [Job Planning].[SB-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-BOIL], [Job Planning].[WB-BOIL Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-HEAT], [Job Planning].[WB-HEAT Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-WELD], [Job Planning].[WB-WELD Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WM-TECH], [Job Planning].[WM-TECH Hours Given]
HAVING ((([Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber)="BAL-HIGH"));
--==2==--
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement, [Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber, [Job Planning].[Project Number], [Job Planning].Customer, [Job Planning].Description, [Job Planning].[Planned Start], [Job Planning].[Progress %], [Job Planning].[Planned Finish], [Job Planning].[Actual Finish], [Job Planning].Consultant, [Job Planning].Team, [Job Planning].[MS-TECH Hours Given], Sum([Scanning Hour Report].PeriodofEvent) AS [Sum Of PeriodofEvent], [Job Planning].[MS-TECH Hours Given]-[Sum Of PeriodofEvent] AS [Hours Remaining]
FROM [Job Planning] INNER JOIN [Scanning Hour Report] ON [Job Planning].[Project Number] = [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement
GROUP BY [Scanning Hour Report].WBSElement, [Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber, [Job Planning].[Project Number], [Job Planning].Customer, [Job Planning].Description, [Job Planning].[Planned Start], [Job Planning].[Progress %], [Job Planning].[Planned Finish], [Job Planning].[Actual Finish], [Job Planning].Consultant, [Job Planning].Team, [Job Planning].[MS-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-TECH], [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH], [Job Planning].[BAL-HIGH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[BAL-LOW], [Job Planning].[BAL-LOW Hours Given], [Job Planning].[CM-TECH], [Job Planning].[CM-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[CR-TECH], [Job Planning].[CR-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[DW-JNR], [Job Planning].[DW-JNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[DW-SNR], [Job Planning].[DW-SNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].ENG, [Job Planning].[ENG Hours Given], [Job Planning].[FS-JNR], [Job Planning].[FS-JNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[FS-SNR], [Job Planning].[FS-SNR Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-HIGH], [Job Planning].[MS-HIGH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-LOW], [Job Planning].[MS-LOW Hours Given], [Job Planning].[MS-MED], [Job Planning].[MS-MED Hours Given], [Job Planning].[QA-TECH], [Job Planning].[QA-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[SB-TECH], [Job Planning].[SB-TECH Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-BOIL], [Job Planning].[WB-BOIL Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-HEAT], [Job Planning].[WB-HEAT Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WB-WELD], [Job Planning].[WB-WELD Hours Given], [Job Planning].[WM-TECH], [Job Planning].[WM-TECH Hours Given]
HAVING ((([Scanning Hour Report].WorkCentreNumber)="MS-TECH"));
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....these queries would display:
WBSElement - IT123456789012
WorkCentreNumber - BAL-HIGH
Customer - Customer000001
Description - High Speed balancing of turd filled drum
Planned Start - dd/mm/yyyy
Progress % - 95.00%
Planned Finish - dd/mm/yyyy
Actual Finish - dd/mm/yyyy
Consultant - Consultant1
Team - TEAM#
BAL-HIGH Hours Given - 20
Sum Of PeriodofEvent - 13.5
Hours Remaining - 6.5
The project number(Job planning table) and the WBSELEMENTNUMBER(Scanning Hour Report have linked via relationships tab
as an example... [see pic1]
now if the field finds no record in the ODBC it displays no information which would be correct in a sense. [see pic2]
BUT!
Here comes the complicated part.
NB!!:INSTEAD of displaying no information how would I go about making the ODBC fields display default value of 0 so when I add all the above mentioned workcenternumbers to ONE form, instead of displaying NOTHING when it finds no values for one of the workcenternumbers it will instead display that "50" hours given even if "0" hours were worked thus "50" hours still remain for that project number's work center number.
Is there an easier way of filtering different work center numbers to one form and summing figures from there or what?
To wrap it up all I'm looking for is a form that checks the workcenternumber and the hours captured on the ODBC "Scanning hour report" and subtracting it from the table "Job Planning" where the WBSELEMENT & Job Number as well as the work center numbers tie up to give me a total value of hours remaining. If nothing is found for one workcenternumber it displays value 0 instead of a entire blank page.
If you have a sample database I haven't seen that u think could come in handy it would be helpfull too.
Hope I didn't confuse you, yet... :rolleyes:
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have simple invoice database, tyhe old one I made works fine, trying to make a newone always simple but now Access is not helping me for some reason,,,, Can you look at this? I create an invoice form using wizzard i join invoices and invoices details to it and from there I create my Invoive form that has the invoice info and the details.... I change some stuff for looks and easyness... Mostly change text boxes to combo boxes... I did this in office 2003 and had the same results than in office 2002, Why dont know... Once I create the invoice from and change the text boxes combos and ofcourse set everything else, once I pick a product from the detail form I get the product but I dont get its price.

Hello,
I just noticed something very strange - in a table of mine, when I create a new record with the form, the autonumber is an existing number. Say the last record had ID 400, then the "new" record is assigned an autonumber ID of 300.
Of course, record creation fails that way.
But with every attempt, the new autonumber moves one up, so eventually it'll start making unique numbers again.
Does anybody have an explanation for this odd behaviour?

This is the first time ive used the switchboard so hopefully this will be just a quicky!
Bascially i have a main switchboard which has 3 buttons. These buttons all link to different switchboard pages.
THE PROBLEM :- I have labels on the main switchboard and these are all appearing on the consequent switchboard pages. Is there a way of assigning these just to the main switchboard and not the other pages?
Thanks, any advice would be most appreciated!

I have a somewhat complex question.
We currently run Access 97 in the following way. We are looking for a solution where new members can access our data and change it using the internet. We are not sure of the best way.
Our database is split between "data" and "front-end". The "data" is kept on our win2000 server and is split into a "master" and several replicas. Some employees run their "front end" acceess programs on fixed computers attached to our network and simply attach to the "master" "data" database on our server. 4 employees use laptops and run their "fronends" by attaching to their own "replicas" of the "master" which they carry around with them. Once in a while, ususally daily, they synchronise their "replica" with the "master" on our server by simply attaching to our network using ethernet or WiFi.
What would be the best way to allow new members to join in the fun? There could be as many as 10 new members (brining the total to 16). The main problem is that they are located in different countries and ideally need to have a web or VPN access to our server. Does anyone have some suggestions? Should we migrate to SQL?
The database "data" is about 180Mb in size and has 40 odd tables that are used in a complex way by the "front ends". All queries are stored in the "front ends".
?? I would really appreciated some ideas..

Good morning to everyone.
I am hoping that you will be able to help me with a table that I am working on. I have almost no experience with access, so I am useless when it comes to this.
I have attached a condensed version of the database that I am working on (removed everything except the one table that I am working on) so that you can see and edit what I am working on.
The requirements are simply this.
-If "Status" = 'new inquiry' and has not been update in 6 months, automatically changes to 'inactive' and "probability of order" automatically changes to 0%
-"Initial Inquiry Date" is set to the date the Inquiry was added to the table (but user has ability to change it manually)
-*bonus* If ship quarter has passed todays quarter then change "Status" to 'inactive'.
I hope I have attached enough for everyone to be able to help.
Thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate it. :)

Hello,
I have a performance, probably related to my query and calculation structure and would be seeking your advice.
The DB is basically an airline schedule, with to make things simple, an entry for every flight. (tblSchedule). This table has information of origin and destination, airline, flight times, and aircraft type (to make things simple). The table relates to several other tables (tblAirport, tblAirline, tblAircrafttype), for the obvious information reltated to those. Other than that, there is a tblAircraftConfig (which has information, related to Airline and Aircrafttype - among other things the number of seats for that aircraft type and airline).
Now I need to do several evaluations for the (very large) tblSchedule. Those evaluations are - in principle - straightforward, but due to the sheer mass of data and the way I probably do things, give me a sheer headache, in terms of runtime.
The calculations, actually need to be done on every entry in the schedule table: Here is the data that is calculated:
- Flighttime : (by simply substracting departure and arrival times, all part of tblSchedule, but need a lookup of time difference, between arrival and departure airport).
- Number of seats : actually a lookup in the tblConfiguration, based on airline and aircrafttype, part of tblSchedule), but since a weighted average of found entries has to be calculated, I do this via a function call
- Available seat miles (most tricky one): a multiplication of the seats (see above) with the flight distance. This flight distance is calculated using a formula (with all kinds of sin and cos and atn functions), grouped in a function call, which needs to work on a set of geographic longitude and latitude data of the arrival and departure airport. This data is included within tblAirport.
At the end of the day, I don't need these indicators per flight (single tblSchedule record), but summed across flights, e.g; per a/c type and airline, per city pair, per airline and departure etc.
As a said, some rather complicated formulae for a database application, but nothing to win the noble prize with. However, the number of calculations to be carried out just kills the run time.
- First shot: create a "full query" with a defined query, include all n:1 relationships into the query, and for those, n:m relationships, make a davg lookup. Calculate the indicators for every flight, and sum up in a report. Result: awful runtime.
- Second shot: create a grouped query, summing things within the query. Problem is the lookup, which I need to make into the n:m relationship of the a/c config. I worked a way around this by creating a formula, which does this lookup for me with either the dlookup formula or a recordset and then run through the records. Anyway, runtime is disgusting.
- Third shot: create a formula call for the entire data, which does the same thing that the query does, with running through the data in a recordset (which is handed over to the formula). The formula, just hands back the readily calculated number. Runtime: let's not talk about it.
So this is a call for help. Doesn't seem like a complicated problem, but that's the difference between theory and reality.
The main issue - I believe is the number of lookups and 'complicated' calculations - e.g. calculating the distance between two airports. The thing is, the number of calculations is also exaggerated by the fact, that it repeats the calculation for every single flight. Now there are a lot fewer airport pairs than flights, of course. So I tried:
- Fourth shot: Make a split query. First of all, a SELECT First query, which generates a list of airport pairs, and calculates the airport distance only for the pair, once and for all in the query. Then base the second query on this first query selecting the rest of the schedule data (the flight time, the seats etc.). In theory, a lot fewer calculations need to be made, sinc eflight distance is calculated only for 250 airport pairs, instead of 25,000 flight entries. But: result - pathetic.
HELP!
Thanks

I have tried the count(field name) and the sum(field name) but neither of them are giving me the grand total only the count/sum of that row. Here is my code, please look - I'm sure its something small and stupid

Hi,
I was using access 2000 to build a small office app. It will be on a network and will generally be used by only 2 or 3 people(max). I was wondering if the default jet technology would be good enough for this. If it isn't, what should I use? I looked at other options such as msde and ado but it's a bit confusing when you're new to this stuff.
Thanks,

There are times when it is just necessary to have a little rant, a canniption if you will.
For the last few weeks I have been working off-and-on with a new database for a salmon hatchery. One of the forms I designed contained a subform in continuous form view that flickered inordinately when first loaded. Now, there's a lot of code going on behind controls etc to run sql updates or deletes or appends depending on what the user clicked. There was also some code to alternate the row color of the continuous form. I spent literally days trying to find what part of my code was causing the problem.
I swore a lot.
I searched.
I eventually gave up as other priorities began to arise at work. I resigned myself to my fate.
Then I discovered, quite by accident, that the problem arose by the use of some unassociated labels being present on my form. I removed them, replaced them with labels associated with a control, and presto: the form flickering/reloading magically vanishes.
Great.
But what a colossal PITA for something so bloody stupid. There's absolutely no reason why this should occur IMHO. Honestly: it's hard enough to learn VBA, SQL, and relational db design without having to deal with poorly documented glitches like this. There are days when I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of Access, then something like this comes along and I want to send a lynch mob to redmond! :mad:
Ok, end of rant :) Hope the solution to my problem comes in handy for someone else someday.

Hello,
This will probably generate a few good laughs but here goes!
I have been given an Excel file with 6 fields about 20 chars in each field.
This file is a whopping 250 records. I would like to be able to add, change, delete and search records.
The DB would need to be shared by 2 users on a home network. Both are using Windows XP.
What would be(heres your chance!!!) the easiest solution for this?
This is for someone who wants to keep it simple. If it was simple though, I guess I would not be posting this!!! Haha.
They best part is they have MS-Works on their machines.
Any help or better yet a completed solution would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Take Care

hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Help is appreciated.
Here is the code that I was thinking of, I don't think its right but it might be a start.
Dim Count As Variant
Dim CountImplementedTotal As Variant
CountCost = 0
CountImplementedTotal = 0
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordSet("ECM Details")
Do While Not rst.EOF
If rst![AUDIT ID] = Forms![audit info]![AUDIT ID] Then
If rst![Has Measure been Selected] = "YES" Then
Count = Count + rst![Total Measure Cost]
End If
End If
rst.MoveNext
Loop
Text47.Text = Count

hello all
i need a small thing to change in a module but am not too familiar with vb so i reached a dead end, here's the story:
i have a 'dog pedigree' database that i was working on, now there's a report where a dog's parents, their parents, and their parents need to be shown
that turned out to be out of my league so i paid a guy to do it for me, it worked except he didn't do exactly what's need and i can't get to him now :S
anyway, in the report page,
you can notice that the name of each parent is shown, but i want the registration number of the parents to show as well,
i tried modifying the module but it didn't work (am not a vb user), so can anyone help me add the reg number to the name of the parents?
also, in the report, the dog's color is appearing as a number instead of an actual color so if that can be fixed as well ...
to understand better:
record 1 in dogs, click the preview diploma button
you'll notice "tat" as dogname and "ry245" below that as registration number
now sire is "pat" and dam is "titu", i want their registration numbers to show as well (and same for the rest of the parents)
i uploaded the file here for a closer look:

thanks :)

Okay, brief overview.
We currently have 2 MDE front ends to and oracle box. Database is about 25Gigs and have been minimising the traffic by optimising the queries. However we have always noticed some very strange problems now that our user base is about 150. They seem to become more apparent when the MDE files reach a certain size. I have implimented an autoshut down and inactivity shut down protocol into the access front ends but I would really like to know why the MDE files are getting so large. They are normally about 5MB but get to in exccess of 130MB. The autoshut down is forcing everyone out which compacts it overnight!
When these databases reach critical mass, peoples data seems to be getting mixed up and one persons form is mixing data up with anothers!!!!!! What is casuing this? We are using the front ends over citrix too, is this the root of my problems. I am going to be copying the MDE file to each citrix box to speed it up and reduce the number of users on the mde. Ideally I would prefer an mde for each user but that is impractical.
Really my question is this, Why does an MDE file with no tables except linked via ODBC increase in size so dramtically? Is there a leak or somthing somewhere?
Thankyou in anticipation of any replies!

I made an Access DB program in my PC. I have 17 inches monitor and so I designed everything to fit in that screen. When it was deployed in the user's computer, it did not fit in his screen as he has only 14 inches monitor. The command buttons and other things were not visible and were out of view of the screen. I changed the screen resolution but it made the fonts look much smaller. I have used 12 pt fonts in my Prg. Is it possible to correct my forms so that it automatically fits in all sizes of screen?

Hi Access World Forums,
I'm an audio/video technician at a college and wish to use Access for a simple camera booking system, but do not have time to go through all the extensive help menus and tutorials about this program, and none I have viewed seemed to help.
I want four columns in the table. First, the user inputs a student ID number. Now my first problem is that I want the student name to appear in the 2nd column after entering their number. I don't know where to create the list of names or how to link them to their student ID numbers.
My second problem is I would like the 4th column simply to display the date seven days from the current one (as in whenever the db is used) for the return date without having to input it manually.
Any help towards these 2 problems would be most appreciated, and thanks in advance.

a link is created between 2 sites
a circuit can travel over any given site
dataflow is from the left going towards the right
if site b fails, so does site c, d, e, f
but A still lives on
so how do I create a relationship between the tables to answer the queries correctly?
a site has many links, and a link has many circuits.
a circuit has many links
its a many-to-many relashonship.
I created a junction table to provide for the link circuit relationship.
I just need to know how to ask if site c is down, give me the link and circuit that is effected.
Or give me all the links and circuits effected.
The other site_1 table is there to eliminate data duplication for start abd end site which is just a site in the sites table. Its a form of normalization.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jon

Hi all
I have the following query that will show the date, studentname, number of classes marked absent for that date.
i also want to show the total number of classes in the day, this is needed to make a quick comparsions to the total number of classes missed per day.
This is the code
SELECT Attendance.Date, Count(Attendance.Attended) AS CountOfAttended, Student.StudentName, Count(Attendance.ClassID) AS CountOfClassID
FROM Student INNER JOIN (Groups INNER JOIN (Classes INNER JOIN Attendance ON Classes.ClassID = Attendance.ClassID) ON Groups.GroupID = Attendance.GroupID) ON Student.StudentID = Attendance.StudentID
WHERE (((Attendance.Attended)=' Absent'))
GROUP BY Attendance.Date, Student.StudentName, Student.StudentID
HAVING (((Student.StudentID)=[Forms]![Frm]![cboStudent]));
This shows the date, the number of classes the student was absent for, the student name, the total number of class in that day.
But my problem is that it only shows the total number of classes marked absent again..... IS there a way to exclude the where clause from the Count(Attendance.ClassID) AS CountOfClassID part of the code...
Help is is welcome
Thanks
Chris Lynch
