Problem With Planning Database + Creation Of Forms
Aug 11, 2005
Hi guys
Quick question. im running a planning database which has got 3 tables Objectors, Representations and Agents. Ive put these together using a one-to-many join matching up the index fields from Objectors and Representations. Ive just constructed a form which has a main form being the Representations and the sub forms with Objectors and Agents. When I want to update or add records a message saying " you cannot add or change a record because a related records is required in table Objectors.
Can any one tell me how I can get around this or possible solutions to this is? Any comments or feedback greatly appreciated!
I'm Looking for a bit of advise. I'm about to try and build a new database that will have about 40 tables. One of these will be the main table. This table will have a primary key TAGNUM and several other fields containing data associated with each tagnum. Most of the other tables will then contain more detailed info about each tagnum. So the obvious aim is to have all these secondary tables connected somehow to the main table so that when a new tagnum is added/deleted, the corresponding row in any effected secondary tables is added/deleted also.
My attempts so far have involved setting up a relationship beween tagnum in the primary table and tagnum in each secondary table. This appears to work ok but I'm trying to be sure that my setup is good. I have a one to one relationship in each case, I have selected referential integrity, and the cascade changes etc. My join type is "All records from main table and only those... secondary table". Is this correct?
The further complication is that I need to have Lookup?? tables (not sure if it's the correct word) tied to each of the secondary tables and 3 tied to the main table. The user needs to be able to select items from the fields bound to these lookup tables via a dropdown box on the field in a query. When the dropdown box is selected a descriptor for each option available need be seen The non bound fields in the lookup tables only needs to be available to a report bar the showing of the Description field during selection. Any ideas?
Sorry about the size of this and annoying you with what is i'm sure not difficult stuff! Pretty new to this.:)
I have been given a project from work and although I have built multiple databases before, for some reason this one is stumping me. I need to create a database to capture data which was previously being captured on multiple spreadsheets to simplify the statistics program at my company. Each spreadsheet captured key pieces of information, I've attached an example of each. Each sheet needs to be set up so that an individual can enter their information for their location and that one person (me) can enter the full company information. For example the hours form, from this form I need to capture the employee count and manhours, whereas from the district sheet I need to capture contractor hours, vehicle data (second tab), and performance data on a monthly basis. The final entry needs to be able to enter all of the counts on the counts link form in order to create a table similar to the link form.
HI THERE. IM HAVING A FEW PROBLEMS TRYING SORT THIS PROBLEM OUT. I HAVE A DATABASE IM TRYING TO APPLY A FILTER ON THROUGH AN UNBOUND COMBO BOX. WHEN SELECTING THE DROP DOWN FILTER TO SORT THE RECORDS NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CODE IM USING IS Private Sub Combo??_AfterUpdate () 'Find the record that matches the the control Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[WARD_AREA] = '" & Me! [Combo??] & " ' " If Not rs.EOF Then.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Does anyone know why this filter is not sorting through the records. Any comments much appreciated!!
I've created and tested my database. What step or steps do I take now to make it so it's a program that only shows the forms and menu's I created, not all the Tables, Queries etc and the formatting options? Is there a link that explains what to do step by step?
why is it that as soon as you fix one problem another one needs dealing with :mad:
OK, the problem i have is that i have a BE/FE configuration database in a multiuser environment. I have built all the tables and the relationships in the BE configuration. In the FE configurations i have built the main forms to input data. It has no come to the point where i have begun to create the queries to allow reporting and data searching. And this is where i have a problem. I am trying to create a simply query and i do mean simple (at the moment i simply want 2 fields from 1 table and 2 fields from another table) no calculations or anything i just want it to display the data. I have tried creating this query numerous times and i keep getting the same error.
"The wizard is unable to open your query in datasheet view, possibly because another user has a source table open in exclusive mode. Your query will be opened in design view"
the above is the error i get when i use a wizard to create the query, after getting this message and going into design view i try to view the results in datasheet view and get the following error "Type Mismatch in expression"
If i dont use a wizard and create it in design view, when i go to view the results i get the second error message everytime.
If i create a query from 1 table only the query works without errors, but i always get errors when i have more than one table in the query.
Also i am the only person with the database open so therefore it is total impossible for the database to be open by another user in exclusive mode.
Anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix. Your answers will be very much appreciated.
Im pretty new to access and im trying to create a database for the company i work at so that to begin with they can log details on all hardware they have.
See the image attatched, at the moment i wish to store details on there computers and also on other hardware is it ok sofar? http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=erd9xa.jpg
I currently have a database where users input new parts into a database using a part form. When they put in the part type, a tracking number is automatically generated. I would like a folder to be created for each part where we can store pictures and a report. How would i have it create a report to a certain area using the tracking number as the folder name? I also want to be able to upload pictures and eventually save the report in there but creating the folder is the first step.
I have a table that is a list of all of my events. Each record of events should have a child table that list all of the things that happened at the event. When a new record (event) is added how can I have a new child table created and linked to that record. Also I have a blank table to serve as a template for what each child should look like. How do I make sure this occurs? The child tables can have the same name as the index. I am just using numbers 1- for the index with 1 being the first event and so on?
I am currently creating my first Access database and in the planning stage but have come across one problem area. I need to create a database that holds and reports on information recorded on a clinical form. The section of the form I am stuck on contains a table as below.
123456 Catheter Type Wire Type Balloon Type Type of Stent Size of Stent Target Vessel Successful?Y / NY / NY / NY / NY / NY / N
The user works their way down this form starting in column one but free typing what make of Catheter they will use and then type of Wire and so on. The problem arises when a particular item doesn't work, e.g. a type of Balloon. They then try a different type of balloon and would enter this information in Column 2 and then if this works go back to column 1 to fill in the next field 'Type of Stent'. As below..
1 2 3456 Catheter TypeCathsRUS Wire TypeWire 1000 Balloon TypeBAL001 BAL002 Type of StentST555 Size of Stent10 Target VesselLeft side Successful?Y / N Y / N Y / NY / NY / NY / N
Not only does the user need to record all this information without duplicating anything else from column 1 into column 2 but there are also instances that within the same procedure number, that a second bleed occurs and they need to fill in the next available column, which in the example above wiuld be column 3. They would again work their way down, but this time they may not need to use a wire as they can reuse the last one.
1 2 3 4 56 Catheter TypeCathsRUS OpCa34 Wire TypeWire 1000 Balloon TypeBAL001 BAL002 BA3 Type of StentST555 ST333 Size of Stent10 5 Target VesselLeft side Right side Successful?Y / NY / N Y / N Y / N Y / N Y / N
The access database needs to be able to hold all this information and show that 2 separate episodes in affect have occurred. The user wants to be able to report on various things such as, what type of Stent/Wire/Balloon/Stent size is the most/least used / successful/unsuccessful? Etc
If anyone can help shed some light on the best way to structure this information in Access I would be very grateful!
I’m adding a new function to our Costumer Relations Management system – Time management. Or maybe “time registration” is a better definition for it. The idea is that our consultants can add their hours into our CRM, either from the “Project”, “Tasks” or “Costumer” part of the CRM. Note: This is a tool to keep track of hours spent on a project, not a planning tool.
I’ve made the input-form for the records (Date, ClockStart, ClockStop, TimeSpent, InvoiceHours, etc.). But now I’m basically without a clue on where to start – I want to make a function almost like the calendar in Outlook, where the consultants can input what they’ve been working on, say between 13:00 and 14:00.
It doesn’t have to be fancy graphically, but functional and give a good overview.
Hi all! Need a bit of planning help with this one.
I have a access db for a small webhosting company. In this db there is a table containing the different sites, and another table containing siteproducts (Domains, Hosting, etc).
I want to make a function that creates a invoice (tblInvoice) for every site with billingdate in march. This function has to transfer the siteproducts (tblInvoiceLine) as well and gives the invoiceline the right invoice number.
I guess I have to do this with querries, but I have noe idea how to transfer "two" levels - or from and to two tables at once.
I Have a form that shows bills in a continuous form. My problem is that I want to put a textbox or a label that will display a kind of counter for each bills. For example, If I have 3 bills to display, I want my label or textbox to display 1 for the first bill, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and so on.
But I don't know how to do that with a continuous form.
I am attempting to create a report that the user can specifiy a contact type which is selected from a drop down list and the report will only show those records. The name of the report is "Contact Listing bu User Supplied Contact Type." I also have a form called "Report Contact Selection." Right now I am getting only contact type of "recruiters" to appear when I run the report even when I select a different contact type. As you will see when you look at the "contacts" table, I do have records with different contact types. I am including a *.zipped version of this database and if you should need any additional information, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
I created a new table for my database that contains three fields. A first name, last name, and a full name field. Is there a way in the definition of the table that I can define the full name to =[TrackComposerFirstName] & " " & [TrackComposerLastName]? I'm not sure where I would define a formula in data elements of a table.
i want to have a feature in my database like the following..
these are basically day to day clock in times for my staff..
is there a way that everday.. a new record will be created..
eg.. on 04/06/06... i turn on my pc for the first time.. and when i view the timesheet form.. a record for today is automatically created.. then throughout the rest of the day, this form will be displayed..
when i turn on my pc on 05/06/06, the database will know its a different day, so it creates a new record for today... then i can just move back and forth throughout the days to see the details..
if i then turn my computer off for 5 days, then turn it on at 10/06/06, it still should have made records for 6,7,8, and 9th June, but they will be empty, and the record im shown is for the 10/06/06,
I have created a table containing jobs that need to be done from my team (IT production). Each time someone start or finishes a job, he must fill a box that updates a specific row in the table. I want to log the time of that action.
Any ideas of how I could set this up in Access? I have tried the Now() function in the Default Value of the field End Time, but this is updated everytime I refresh the table
In a field “NAME” I have “Adam Smith”. From this field I want in a QBE window (not in VB) to make two new fields “FIRST NAME” “Adam” and “LAST NAME” “Smith”. In Excel there are the functions FIND and SEARCH with which I take the number of the gap “ ” (5) between Adam and Smith and with the functions LEN, RIGHTS and LEFTS I have a result. What could I do in Access 2003?
I been tasked with a project to be written in access which I am rather unfamiliar with, web design is more my area.
For part of the project I need to copy some pricing fields from a pricing table to a new record at the point that the new record is created. The new record is created when a 'new form' button is clicked.
What I would like to know is what and where I should trigger the copy query from and what function should I be using?
I have a continous form bound to a query which also has a group by function. Is it possible to create an editable bounded textbox because Access is giving a message saying recordset not updatable.
I been browsing and I seen a few statement regarding a timestamp that displays when you create a new record so each new record would have the time it was created. What function is this?
I have a subform with a lot of fields in which require input. I have set the tab order correctly so they go through in sequence. However, I have found when I tab out of the last field. Its creates a new record which I dont want.I want it to either return to the first field to just stop.
