hello i have created an ordering sheet for my company. i want to know if it is possible to automatically record the time of each order made? If possible could someone tell me how it is done?
Also is it possible to put a clock in an Access database?

I have a question on date order please see attachment. I have changed the numerical value into a date abbreviation with an iif statement in design view via another crosstab query.
I am now trying find out a way to start the data with April and ending with March for my financial year. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a database containing music library data, with fields <Composer> and <Title>. I have a form that shows a these fields as lists, but I want to add a button at the top of each list to order the data by that field. How do I do it?
I think this may be impossible but I am hoping it isn't :)
Have any of come across a way to Manually order a continuous form.
The way I would see it working is to have a column in the table called sort_order and two buttons on the form called move up and move down. Once clicked the sort_order value would change thus changing the order on the form.
I should imagine it would be alot more complicated than my brief description, in fact it may like I said be impossible.
If any of you have an idea how to achieve this I will be very grateful
I have actually 2 questions. They are probably very easy to solve, but I have no idea where to start looking.
1) I have a form (Form1) which has a combo box. When pressing "F2", I start a second form (Form2).
On Form2 I want my records order by Name, but I always have them ordered by ID. I tried the "Order By" property on the form, but that doesn't seem to work.
2) When closing the form, I want the selected (or the newly created record) to be the current record in the Combo box on Form1. How do I do that?
I have a field in a table on Access 2000 database with takes the following information in any order and can be repeated. e.g. can have 10, etc people with contact signed, 10, etc people with PDD issued, etc.
contract signed PIN issued PDD issued validation finished Host country approval EB approved CER's issued.
I am designing a report in which I want to Group and order the info. in the field in the order shown above, e.g 1. contract signed, then 2. PIN issued followed by PDD issued, etc in Ascending order say and the other way round say CER's issued, EB approved, etc.
Can anyone help here? I have not much experience with designing reports but I have tried using the report Sorting and Grouping and it does it in aphabetical order, not in that order I require.
Although the The Val function reconverts the text, produced by the Format function, back into a number the IIf function seems to convert back to text again. This means that in the Report, when I order the values in descending order I get:
NA 50 50 50 40 28.57 14.29 100 10 0 ...
Is there anyway round this, to order the numbers and leave the text value NA at either end?! Hope this makes sense! Any help very welcome. mcchu
I have created a form with many companies. each companies have 4 events in one year,but the first event in the form is the last one. How can order this events in this form chronologically?
Hi all, I have a simple 2-table database. the 'parent' table is tblProducts, and the 'child' table is tblDocuments. (one [products] to many [docouments] relationship)
My data entry is done using a 'documents' subform inside a 'products' parent form. The data entry works fine, except i would really like it if my products and documents would be listed in alphabetical order in their respective form/subform {makes it easier on the user, and saves me needing a find record button}. At the moment they seem to be ordered by the time in which they were added to the table. I guess Access is using the primary Key as the 'order by' parameter.
The thing that is infuriating me is that i have gone into my two tables and told access to sort the data by Product Name, and Document name in the respective tables. I can verify that this has worked by going to data view; lo and behold the data are listed in the order i specified.
Further I have gone into my form and sub form properties, into the Data...Order By property and have keyed in the name of the field i want to sort by (product name in the parent form, and document name in the sub form).
I have tried all combinations and permutations of the above processes but nothing seems to work.
It seems i am missing one crucial piece to the puzzle, as i haven't had much luck finding a solution on groups.google or anything else (maybe im using the wrong search terms). I am having this problem with all of my databases, so any help would be appreciated.
i have a page, with several drop down boxes, each containing quite a few options, but they dont show in alphabetical order so its a pain trying to find the one i want. how can i order them by alphabetical order,?
I have a cross tab query. Essentially it groups together posted volumes into week numbers for different offices.
However, when I run the query, the order of the columns is not in a logical number order. I get Week 1 then Week 10 then Week 11 and Week 2 is further down the list and then Week 20 comes after that.
I would like if at all possible the Week Numbers to follow after one another i.e. Week 1 first then up to Week 52 in correct number order.
In my Dates Table I do have a SortID column which I hoped would resolve this issue so I could sort on the SortID column however this fails to work.
Attached is the query...
Code: PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![cmbOfficeSearch] Text ( 255 ), Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtStartDate] DateTime, Forms![frmSumOfVolByCCAndFormat]![txtEndDate] DateTime; TRANSFORM Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS SumOfTrafficVolume SELECT tblOffice.CostCentre, tblOffice.OfficeName, tblTrafficFormat.Format, Sum(tblTrafficEast.TrafficVolume) AS [Total Volume]
I have an Ordering database where the order form contains a subform with the order lines (Order_line_subfrm). In this subform footer I have 4 currency fields, one f which is delivery fee (default is set to zero). When I add a fee into this field on screen, everything works (i.e. adds up) and the value is there to see. When I go to print the form (paper or PDF) the delivery fee returns to zero (the database entry is still present).
I have a memo field which records the events that happen on a form. So for example when a user changes the assignment from one user to the next, a row is written to the memo field indicating date, time, windows logon and then a brief description
Basically I end up with :
07/12/06 11:16:34 kleaves : Assigned user changed from Joe Bloggs to John Doe
At present every new row is added to the memo field at the end, so the most recent action is at the bottom.
How can I sort this so that most recent is at the top.
I currently have records that end with a letter and 2 numbers. For example, A1, A2, ... , A10, A11. When I try to sort my table/query by these values, A10 & A11 come before A2. It seems that it is sorting by the first digit shown. Is there any way to fix this quickly within table/query properties so that this can be displayed in proper numeric order?
