Help!!!
I am setting up a database with 'open' and 'close' dates of an event for each record/ID. I want to be able to sort/query my results into the next event (i.e. open or close) as it will be happening so that I can plan for each event, but I am not sure how to go about doing this. I have tried various queries but because the information is linked to one ID it does not want to duplicate the information in the record. I can set up separate queries for the 'open' and 'close' dates but I can't seem to be able to tie it together
=>I have 2 queries, but I really need it to be at least in one report in date order each record appearing twice ...once at the open date, once at the closing date.
anyone....please!!!!!!!
:) thank u
I'm hoping this is quite easy as I'm new to Access.
I have a record similar to the below
recordID: 1 animals: cats breed: persian number: 3 price: £50 each
What I would like to do is dupicate the above data three times, changing the field in "number" to show as 1 on each occassion...so, theoretically, the data will be exactly the same in each new record except for recordID....
e.g recordID: 2 animals: cats breed: persian number: 1 price: £50 each
recordID: 3 animals: cats breed: persian number: 1 price: £50 each
recordID: 4 animals: cats breed: persian number: 1 price: £50 each
I want to be able to make an exact copy of an existing record in a table and then change the value of a couple of the fields before writing it to the table as a new record.
What is the best way to go about this? I guess it is possible with select, update and append queries but I'd rather do it in code.
It sounds like it should be a simple and commonly performed exercise but I can't find anything on it.
I have a table that contains financial data on projects. Each project has one record consisting of numerous fields.
I want users to be able to archive off copies of these records at certain points in time so I can track the financial data - a bit like storing different versions or issues.
On any one day I want users to be able to access the live record and review the archive.
Question : Is there a simple way of duplicating a record in a table ?
At the moment I am using a form by copying all of the field values from this form, moving to a new record, writing the field values back to the form hence creating a copy. This seems somewhat laborious.
Can't I access the table directly somehow and simply cut and paste ?
Also, is there a simple way to check for a duplicate record before cloning the record i.e. if the data has already been archived once don't do it again.
Ok I haven't worked on access for a while and so my knowledge of my own database is a little poor. But I have a button on one of my forms which duplicates records. The problem is, not only does it duplicate the record but it also creates a blank record. Is there something i can put in the command for the button that will delete records that are completely null?
Many fields of other records are also null so I only want to delete records that have null in all their fields, or better yet just stop creating these blank records.
I have a form with a job number textbox. I want to be able to edit the current record on screen by changing the job number and then save (duplicate) the record i.e. create a new record with the new job number without saving the old record I was editing. How do I do this? I tried the duplicate record command button but it saves the old record with the changed job number as well as duplicating it. :confused:
I created a button in a form that duplicates the record so our employees can fill in the form more quickly.
I know I am being greedy, but is there someway to change the VBC so I only duplicate certain fields in a record, not all of them?
I have attached a (.jpg) of the Duplicate record code that is automatically created by Access when you use the "Duplicate record" option when making up a button on a form. I have attached a 2nd (.jpg) which shows the (7) fields I want to duplicate, out of the (20) available fields for each record.
Is it possible to duplicate a record with selected fields, to be copied into a new record. ie if there are 10 fields, i only need 8 of them (no need for timestamp field etc form existing record).
I am wanting to create a new record in a table copying the majority of the data from another record in the table. I am using the following code which creates new records but the data isn't being copied.
This is the section of code:-
' Return Control object variable pointing to list box. Set ctlList = Me!lbStudents ' Enumerate through selected items. For Each varItem In ctlList.ItemsSelected ' Get the info to get the enrolment record intClientID = Me.lbStudents.Column(7, varItem)
In my database scenario, a patient would see a doctor and the doctor would check off fields in a form representing different disease symptoms that the patient has to calculate a final score (for ex. if the patient has 2 symptoms, the final score would be 2).
After a few months, the patient would visit the doctor again, and the doctor will have to fill out the same form, adding any new symptoms the patient might now have. I would like to have the disease symptom fields checked off in the previous visit automatically show up in the new form, so that the doctor only has to add the new symptoms, and then recalculate the score using both the old and new data (for ex., if the patient had 2 symptoms before and 3 more symptoms now, the score would be 5).
I have a navigation form that has a tabbed form on one of its tabs. The tabbed form has a 'current client' query record source and allows one to choose from a list of current clients and when a client is selected - details relating to client are displayed on various tabs on tabbed form.
I want to duplicate tabbed form and change record source to a query selecting 'exited clients' so I can see same information but for exited clients.
I have created a new tab on navigation form for my new exited clients tabbed form and changed record source by creating a new exited client query but when I change record source on exited client tabbed form it automatically changes record source of current client tabbed form to the exited client query and visa versa.
I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I have a master table which shows all transactions per record (person) over a financial year.
Each record person has a seperate package period over which their spend needs to be measured. Therefore although I have all their transactions for the year, I only want to sum their transactions between their given [start date] and [end date] which are in columns.
I need to be able to create a field which sums all expenditure per record between the start and end dates
Name Start Date End Date Invoice Date Amount
Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 1/11/11 £100 Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 7/7/11 £200 Matt 15/5/11 15/9/11 12/12/11 £200
In this case I would only want to sum 7/7/11 as this is between the start and end dates
I want to write something like sumif([Invoice Date] is between [start date] and [end date] - not sure where or how exactly
(The start date and end date will always be the same per person)
Please bear with me here as it's a little involved.
I'm doing a staff profile website which includes a section where they can enter their annual/other leave details.
I decided to store their leave in two fields Start_Date | End_Date rather than each individual date that they took - the short and wide approach vs long and narrow.
This has left me needing to do a query that would return all the dates between the start and end dates inclusive.
I appreciate i could do this using some script to loop through a recordset and build an array of dates but i wondered/hoped that it could be done using SQL.
As it is an asp page i can't use user defined functions in a VBA module in Access so the solution would need to be pure SQL.
Hi Im currently building an Access aplication and Im looking for some advice.
What Id like to do is use a list box which has a list of items in it, once an item is selected and a button clicked for this information to be sent into a text box to then be stored by the database. Each new item should be added to the end of the list.
I was wondering if its actually possible and how you would go about doing it.
Ok guys, im going to be flat out honest, Im new to this whole database thing. I've been doing a lot of studying and Decided that I am going to try my hands at a real simple and straight foward database. It seemed fairly simple but i guess not so im asking for help. I think my problem lies in understanding how the keys work, and what exactly they do for the database itself. And two the relationships, im not really sure of, i understand how to set them, but again i dont know what they do for the database in the end. Ok so heres what i got:
The object of this DB was to collect, store, retrieve, edit and display data for a fictious Print center that deals with Black & White copies and Color Copies.
3 tables:
Company Customer Job
these tables contain:
Company Table: CompanyID Set to AutoNumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* CompanyName Set to Text Address Set to text City Set to text State Set to text with 2 Character limit for input ZipCode Set to text with 5 characrtr input Description Set to Memo Webaddress Set to hyperlink
Customer Table: CustomerAccountNumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* CompanyName Set to Text JobNumber Set to number FirstName set to text LastName Set to text PhoneNumber Set to text with mask set FaxNumber Set to Text with mask set Email adddress Set to text
Job Table: Jobnumber Set to autonumber *SET AND PRIMARY KEY* Jobname set to text Jobtype Set to text JobDescription Set to memo DueDate Set to Date and time
Ok now hers the relationships I set up:
Company Table: CompanyID ------> Customer table:CompanyName
I tried and thought this would keep things simple but for some reason when i go to create my querys, i get this thing telling me that i have other data from another tabel and cant be edited, i figured out that i had to put the job in first to get a job number and when i go to enter the customers information i have to manually enter the job number in. (Kinda Sucks) I entered some sample data, and tried to make a form, I used the autoform and created a general form but when I flip to the last record in the DataBase it wont let me enter any new information, I thought i was suppose to do that, so i went to the table properties and set the table to Data Enrty Only, and i still couldnt enter new data.
:confused: Ok so theres my problem, I made a boat with duct tape and now im wondering why im sinking to the bottom. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED and if possible a broken down real world explanation on how the keys and relationships work, and what they actually do for the database. I also probably didnt set up the data in the fields correctly, I was trying to normalize everything but im not sure.
Thanks guys! Im really greatful for any help you can offer! ~[MikE]~ :)
Hope nobody minds but I don't really know Access and I have a table that needs sorting pretty desperately.I have a table with 5 columns that I need to filter out so just the remaing records are left over.http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7328/untitled1wb8.th.jpg (http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled1wb8.jpg)The column 'fax' is the column with the records in it and the following columns need the record removing if the box is ticked.TimFPS, OurFPS, OnFPS, NeedsToBeFPS, however the column 'NumberWeHave' I'm not too sure about so I'll ignore it for now (I may need to take them out later)Sorry to be a complete noob and if anyone can help it will be muchos appreciated.
Hi all, I need to develop a relational database to track new construction -builders, subdivisions and employees and additional info about each subdivision. I want to be able to set it up so that the end user can click on a drop down list of builders and then have another drop down list of subdivisions to choose from when updating or doing data entry. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As basic parameters I have around 80 builders with up to 150 subdivisions. I would also like to be able to use this in other areas besides mine.
Hi! Let me explain my little problem:confused:: I have in a form two comboxes an a listbox. On the first combobox you can introduce the TAG, on the second one a machine. I need that the listbox show the values of the first and second combobox separated by a comma.
The first combobox= TAG The second= machine listbox=TAG machine value together without using the table

I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom. How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs? Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi I am a teacher using Access 2007 for the first time. I have downloaded and created a Student Info database which contains details of nationality, guardian's contact info, etc. I also have an Attendance Excel Sheet which calculates daily / monthly attendance in its most basic form. How do I link the cells that show the current attendance of each student to the Access db? Can I link it so that it appears on the db forms / tables / individual student page? Please advise. I'd appreciate the coming to me in painfully simple steps. I teach English and Humanities and am not well versed in computer language ... although I enjoy its challenges and use a lot of it for teaching and administratie purposes. Thanking you in advance, Kscape.
Okay my access skills are low at best and I'm trying to build a database for work so hopefully this isn't to stupid of a question.
I'm trying to creat a query that will allow the user to type in a work type and have it generate the all records containing that work type. The way the data is in there to get it to generate just a specific work type without the input I have to use Like "*newacct*" for example. Is there any way to do this since there are more then one work types for some records?
Hi, I am trying to create a button that upon click it moves the slelected item in list box one to list box 2 but i am not sure how to go about it, cany anyone help?
I've been asked to get some information from my database and I'm a bit stuck.
I have a list of refunds in tbl_main and each one includes a dateReceived. I make a record in either tlk_located, tlk_unableToLocate or tlk_bulk depending on the outcome when we're trying to send the money back to whoever it belongs to. Each table has a time stamp (named locatedTime, unableTime and timestamp respectively) field
My manager wants me to report how many entries were unworked on each day in the year, and what the value of them was. An entry is unworked if there is no entry in either of the 3 tables.
So I need a query that lists a range of dates, and for each date counts the number of entries where tbl_main.dateReceived is <= to that date and either has no record in located,unable or bulk or has a record with a timestamp > than the date. (It has been processed now, but hadn't been on the date we are looking at)
I can manage a query that looks at a certain date that it prompts for on each run:
Code: SELECT Count(tbl_main.trust2PK) AS CountOftrust2PK, Sum(tbl_main.amountRefunded) AS SumOfamountRefunded FROM ((tbl_main LEFT JOIN tlk_located ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_located.trust2FK) LEFT JOIN tlk_unableToLocate ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_unableToLocate.trust2FK) LEFT JOIN tlk_bulk ON tbl_main.trust2PK = tlk_bulk.trust2FK WHERE (((tbl_main.dateReceived)<=[cutoffDate]) AND ((tlk_located.locatedTime) Is Null Or (tlk_located.locatedTime)>[cutOffDate]) AND ((tlk_unableToLocate.unableTime) Is Null Or (tlk_unableToLocate.unableTime)>[cutOffDate]) AND ((tlk_bulk.timeStamp) Is Null Or (tlk_bulk.timeStamp)>[cutOffDate]));
I would like a query that lists all dates in a range, and shows the same information for each day listed.
I'm not a programmer, I am infact a 17 year old College Student from the United Kingdom - Studying ICT!
For my major project I have to design, build and test a camera loans system for my photography department. Except, I am having problems with Combo box lookups. It's been over 6 months since I learnt this, and it's all a blank. Something as simple as this is simply not working...
e.g. in the Studentloans table, I wish to enter the Student ID number from the student ID card inside the combo box, and hit enter so that it brings up the relevant specific loans of that student. I enter the id, hit enter and the student name, class etc does not change. Why? The same goes for my Camera Maintenance Table, Camera + Maintenance tables are combined to a CAMERAMAINTENANCE TABLE - Therefore I wish to enter the Camera ID number so that if i hit enter, it brings up the relevant service histories of that specific camera...
The relationships are all ok, the fields for Student ID are lookup, etc.
I don't understand. It's driving me insane. I need help with this, I'm struggling so much.
We have a database that we are sharing on a network How can I set up a table (or other method) that will automatically log when the database was last updated and who did it (the username). I would like to be able to run a report based on the modification dates of a particular user. Thanks in advance!
