A box appears with the options [rich text,html,snapshot etc] I choose an option and a message box appears saying: "The database engine could not lock "tblMain" because it is already in use by another person or process., I know this is probably a simple stupid error ive made but being a complete beginner I am stuck, any ideas of where I should look to find any errors?
Hi - I am writing a small form that has a calculated field. I want to convert feet and inches in length to metres, and vice versa - so user inputs 10.45 metres, and I will have two fields giving the answer (I suppose) - one with the whole numbers before the decimal place (the feet); the other taking just the numbers after the decimal and converting them from /10 to /12 for inches. Think I can work out the reverse if anyone has a nifty way of doing this - thanks very much; I'm new to this site.
I have a database the keeps tracks of printers by serial number. There is a form for doing this, the form has a serial number field, and a status field "example move, add, remove" , effective date and a location field. Here is what I want to do, lets say that the current location for serial#ABC is in location C and then the user opens the form and tries to move serial #ABC to locaiton C, how can i display a message saying that Serial#ABC is already at location C, maybe I can do this by a DLookup or by a record set, but the only thing that i'm struggling with is how do I make it look at the latest record by the effective date. Thanks.
Could someone tell me how to change the border colors on a form. There are lots of posts on changing txt border colors and such but i want to change the form border its self.
I have a form that I has a password field that matches the employee name. I want the employee to enter in a data field their password. If it matches I want another field (verified) (yes/no field) be marked as yes if it matches and no if does not.
I did IFF([Text5]=[Password],[Verified],= -1, [Verified]=0]
I know how to do this and I think it is simple I just cant remember right now. I have a field in a query called LastActivation. I also have another field called DateEntered. In the query I want to have LastActivation=DateEntered. How do I do this?
Hi there. I created some forms using the wizard. But I set up the properties on my form so that the navigation bars don't appear. I only want them to be able to input new records. I also added code on the form_open event to default to adding a new record. But I noticed that if i use my scroll wheel on my mouse, I can still view previous records. How do i prevent any previously saved records from loading?
Also, where do I add a message box to say that the data has been saved? i noticed that when the form is closed by using the X button or when they navigate to another form, data is automatically saved. would this be the after_update method?
could somebody help in the query design in order to query table 1 (image attached), by showing the maximum weight for each component_id, but also include other details such as the date when the maximum occurred and the event_id, the result as query 2 (image attached)
if i just select component_id and weight, i can do this by selecting max weight, but when i add the date and / or the event_id columns then i get duplicates in the component_id column
Action: 1) Update the blank fields in a table + add newly imported records but...make sure that there are no duplicates. I need to Append the records from a table called: XLS_Imp_11_27_07 to my main Table " Invoice Tracking for A/P 10_30". The fields found in the XLS _ table: Release Dt, Entry Dt, Liquidation Dt may have been populated by a live report found on Internet. Since it's a live report, when Appended, to the other table, it will create numerous duplicates. The fields found after the 7 first fields in the Invoice Tracking Table may have been updated by users
Is there a way to avoid duplicates and get the data from one table to the other without wiping out whatever is already filled-in? :(
Let see if I can explain my goal. I've been fighting with this for some time with no resolve. In the included DB has a table that represents the fields that will be queried in the real DB. It shows records of one of many employees that were "tested" (shopped) on a date and whether it was a successfull shop or not. My goal is in three parts.
1)A query that goes through each employee and returns the records with the check box in SuccessYes checked (Yes) back to the last unchecked box, not including the unchecked box. In the example given the last (most recent) 5 records would be returned. If the shop of date 1/18/2005 was not checked, it would only return the last 2 records. Basically, I'm looking for a way to have a report that shows everyone's current successes in a row. It could be any number.
2)A query very similar but it returns only those employees that have the current successes in a row totalling 5 and where the field "Award5_Paid" is NOT checked (they have not been paid their reward). From there it should be easy to do one for the 10 in a row.
3)If I've got a form open (or...?) where I can place a command button, that when clicked, it appends the selected records with checks in the appropriate boxes for being paid. Example: If a set of employees come up in the query with 5 successfull shops in a row because the "Award5_Paid" field is unchecked, then I need to pay them. Click the button and the Award5_Paid field gets checked in THOSE RECORDS ONLY so that the next time I run the query, they won't show up and get paid twice. Issue? What's the coding or SQL or ??? that's run when clicked.
I hope that makes sense. I've been running around in circle trying to figure this one out. Maybe it can't be done, but if it can, I know some of you know how. As always, thanks for the assistance.
Hi, newbie here to this forum, been looking about for ages to try and find an access based forum.
I am not a great coder, have not really done it, nor remotely understand it, but I have still managed to write a database in access for the office.
We run a residential care home, where we had 5 databases (MS Works) which held different information of the residents within the home but duplicated name, dob, etc. I have successfully writen a access database which works well. But now I want to start pushing it a degree further if I can.
We took delivery of a HP officejet all in one printer, and it has a scanner with document feeder which we scan letters in so we can share them with head office, but what I would really like to do, is scan letters in relating to a specific client, and be able to save the file name as a link, so an other user on an other PC can open the document on their PC. Basically, I want to avoid us going to the filing cabinet to refer to a letter which was written to us.
I am using XP Home, with Office 2003 Pro, and Acrobat 8 Pro.
Any ideas where to even start looking?? I did do a search, but have no idea how to start.
hi guys I hope to get help on this, I have an excel sheet which is like a letter with fields that I need to copy from mainframe. Does anyone know how to do it. Please help if you can, this is important for me. I need a macro in excel to copy fields from the mainframe system to the excel defined fields. I just need to get started. Thanks a lot.
Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?
Hi, I have looked at some of the threads here and it is clear that many of you are working on a much higher level than me and with a high degree of familiarity with the programme. I am hoping that someone here is able to give me some advice as I don't find the MS help files digestible. The task I have is to join 2 databases and produce a table from which I can run a mailmerge. I have managed to join the 2 databases and I used a customer ID as a common link. (my apologies if the terminology is incorrect) I now have all the data I require in one table. THE PROBLEMs I have multiple entries for some of my customers and would like to reduce this to single entries (which is understandable). Please tell me how to do this if you can, and keep it as simple as you can please.
I'm making a report detailing competitors final finishing positions in a competition.
The columns are (1) Place, (2) Name and (3) Points
I have the data for their names and the points they have scored, but how do I make the table enter the record number (starting at 1) in the first field???
Not sure what the issue is here but i am trying to append a Job number from a main database into two connected databases. The number is a sequential number i have created and the primary key. It is an autonumber field(obviously). The format is J0000 and the numbers start from J0001
I am using two different append queries to append them into the external databases tables. However (and here i think lies the problem) the fields i am inserting them into are text fields with the same format J0000. When i view the numbers in these tables, they are displayed as J1 or J9. The 0's are missing. Any ideas.
Hey guys, I'm just wondering how I could limit a field to using from 2 - 20 letters. If I placed the letter "a", I'd get an error saying how at least 2 letters must be there, and a maximum of 20. How would I do this?
Lastly, how can I make it so when I enter data into a form, I can click a button which adds it all into the table? When I do it normally, it's automatically transferred into the table as I type it into the form.
This is incredibly simple I know, but I am a n00b at Access. ^_^
OK, I have a strange problem... This doesn't seem to work..... It did... then I made some changes.... Can someone clue me in on what I am doing wrong? A query, simply summing some values in fields... no biggy...... BUT... The field TotalHours: ([SundayHours]+[MondayHours]+[TuesdayHours]+[WednesdayHours]+[ThursdayHours]+[FridayHours]+[SaturdayHours])
So why isn't this working? Can I use a simple VBA statement to sum these fields?
I am trying to create an IN query (ACCESS) which will firstly show the customers table (specific details) then the orders details should be in the IN query, I formulated this but it won't work:
SELECT s.CustomerID, Address, City, PostalCode FROM Customers s WHERE s.OrderID IN (SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p WHERE s.OrderDate = '1996') AND s.OrderID IN (SELECT s.OrderID FROM Orders p WHERE s.OrderDate = '1997');
Here is the one I did to show the customers and orders who made orders in 1996 and 97:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID AS Customers_CustomerID, Orders.CustomerID AS Orders_CustomerID, Customers.Address, Customers.City, Customers.PostalCode, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID WHERE (((Orders.OrderDate) Between #1/1/1996# And #12/31/1997#));
it is probably something simple I am missing here! Sorry to keep asking :(
but I can't seem to figure it out. All I get is Null values when I run the query.
I have a form with a start text box and a end text box. I use the form name sucessfully in the criteria row so I know there is no problem with the form name. I also know there is no problem with the qry name. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong?!?!
The query I am working in is labeled [qry_old_summary_date_range]. Just wanted to clarify that is not a problem.
I have a table with dates of deadlines and another with dates of submissions. For each deadline I want to know who submitted first. I figured that all I had to do was compute the difference between the dates and the select the minimum. However, Access rejects the Min() function in the WHERE clause. How do I avoid this?
I have a table (imported from excel) that is a pricing grid for blinds. The header row at the top is widths(mm) and the header row down the left is heights(mm). The data is the price. The import process makes the widths the column names.
height 600 800 1200 ... 300 $60 $80 $100 600 $80 $100 $120 900 $120 $140 $160 . . all I want to do is to take that table and make it flattened, like this:
I can't think how to do this in a query - I could take the flat version and create a crosstab to go the other way. Any clues - I don't want to change too much about the way the imported excel file looks becasue I have no control over that (I already discard miscellaneous heading and junk before I import it)
My Brain has completely lost all of it's gray matter.
I have two tables tbl_Employers and tbl_Services that are linked via a one to many relationship. Each Employer can have Many Services. The field i am useing in the relationship is EmployerID
If I build a simple select query using these tables I will see all of the employers that have a related record in the services table. Any employer could be listed there many times as per the relationship.
What i want is a simple count of how many employers actually have recieved a service.
Why is this so difficult for me to get my head around.
this is my query in design viewhttp://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3095/querytc3.th.gif (http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=querytc3.gif)i use this query when entering datai want to know how i can set it up it display all or any one/two/none of the criteria i put into the question text boxes, number surname and state, or even just number, or just state.anyone?
