I'm developing a ms database for the a "repair service" .
I created a table witch contains basic data from customer, including its unique ID number (key field), name and contacts ...
Now I need to store the "repair service" data from each costumer ( its time consumption, replaced materials...) in a separate table but, If I'm thinking well, I must have a table for each costumer so, I will need to link each individual "repair service" data table from each costumer to each costumer itself.
I'm sub-novice when it comes to Access I'm trying to get calculated data in a field in a sub table to autofill in a field in a related table. So all of the data in 'total hours' column is calculated by the variable inputs in the 'hours' fields. Once there, I want it to feed itself into the 'total hours' field on the main table. Is that possible? Also - the 'total hours' field in the sub table won't calculate anything unless a value is placed in EVERY 'hours' field in the same sub table (e.g. 0).
The fields are somehow related where values of B (unique) is taken from A(unique). I trying to do an SQL such that if I input a single value A=9 or 6 or 5 or 3 or 1, the following should be the output:
A B 9 6 6 5 5 3 3 1 1 Null
Or in another case where I input a single value A=8 or 4 or 2 the following should be the output:
I have a combobox on my form with fields related to it (ie. when an option is chosen in the drop-down, the next two fields are also populated with data based on the selection made - I know this is duplication of data, it's just the way the 'powers that be' wanted it. I'm changing it in my next version of the database!)
The two fields that are populated as a result of the selection in the combobox are migrating into the related table fine, but the actual selection in the combobox isn't - it's showing up as blank in each new record in the table.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
Hi im stuck on filtering a combo box (i am using an sql query to populate a combo box with a filtered selection, this is in Access but im after some design sanity checking). I have users who can be assigned a category. Jobs can be assigned a category and also have a list of people working on that job (in the JobDetails table). I have the following tables:
Categories Table: CategoryID (PK) Description
Users Table: UserID (PK) Username CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
Jobs Table: JobID (PK) CategoryID (FK on Categories.CategoryID)
JobDetails Table: JobID (FK on Jobs.JobID) UserID (FK on Users.UserID)
Then in the job details when listing users for a job (many users can be for one job) i would like to only show the users which have the same category as the jobs category. Is this possible? i tried the SQL below for the lookup column field JobDetails.UserID but it doesnt work:
SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.CategoryID FROM Users, Jobs WHERE (((Users.CategoryID)=[Jobs].[CategoryID]));
All the tables are linked with relationships but my SQL isnt so hot! Any ideas as to how i would do this and get it working?
Even if it can be done, is this even recommended? I can see funny conditions happening if the job details category changes or the users category changes then even if they are existing in the job details list they will not be shown? Even so, i would be interested in the above to know how it is done (if possible).
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I have a table TO-det and another table DO-DET.The table DO-det will have details about all DO for each TOID record.Both have a common field name TOID The tables are related under ONE-MANY relationship.One TO-DET record can have many DO-DET record
Now I wanted to create a form where if i add a new record to TOID i must also be able to add data for DO-DET for that corresponding TOID.
One lists all the stock symbols and company names = SYMBOL The second table lists the purchase information for each stock = PURCHASE
I then created many queries, etc. using this data. Symbol is the key link between the various tables, queries, etc.
NOW that I understand the lookup wizard in the data type, I would like to change the symbol field in the purchase table to a Lookup field. I, of course, receive a message. I am told to delete the relationship with the other tables. If I remove the relationships and change the data type, can I then replace the relationship with out damaging all the queries and forms?
I have a table that I'm storing Horsepower and Watt in. Is there anyway to set it up so that when I provide Horsepower it automatically populates Watts? (just a simple multiplication)
I am creating a form that is bound to the main table in my database.
However, I want to show one field from another table on the form that is linked to the main table (one-to-many relationship). I would do this using a sub-form but I also want the form to be a continuous form (as this has been asked form from on high) and Access won’t let me have a sub form if the main form is continuous.
Is there any other way that I can show the related field?
Can anyone tell me how I can do the following without using code: I think it's really easy, and am sure I've done it hundreds of times before, but my minds gone blank...
When I select an entry from a combo box in a form, I'd like a related entry to appear in another field on the same form. I have a table with the both fields stored in it, although theres only 3 records so this might not be necessary.
In a subform I have all fields of a one table, when I make click in a button, open other form with info related by these ID.
All is ok but I have some doubts:
If in the second form (second table) there is no registers, how could shows me the ID by default and that the ID field is not empty
If I create a new register inside second form with a button, I would like that the ID field was always filled because the user don't need to know the ID.
I created 2 table that are linked to a link table so to get a many to many relationship.I have a table for locations and a table for parts.One location can have many parts and One part can belong to many locations, that is way the many to many relationship.
how to get values from the parts table to the Location table using the linked Primary Key in the foreign key linked field.The values also have to be interactive, if I change the value in the part table it needs to update in the location table.
What can I put in the field of the location table to get a specific value from the parts table?
I tried setting the field to calculated field and put the Dlookup function but that didn't work. The lookup wizard seems to be the solution, but I can only create combobox or list box and I need to select the value manually. I just need a value to be put automatically by looking at the foreign key.
If I put the Dlookup function on the default value, those it update if a value is changed in the part table?
Hi i have a field which is a date/time field and its format is short date which is xx/xx/xxxx. I want to ask if there is any way i can add a validation rule for only the year to be larger than 1980???
In a form of mine, I have the user input other person's initials, but I don't want those initials showing up on the report. It's a set group of initials to work with so I have each set associated with a random 3 digit number (that I input into the table myself). I'd like to be able to have the person input the initials in the form, but have the numbers display on the report, I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
How can I include a field from a table in to a query - that has no relationship?
For example...
The 'Despatch' field is in a seperate table called 'Product', because we despatch multiple products for any ONE order at different times, so it needs to be against the Product and not the full job itself.However, when I include the 'Product' table into the query and insert the 'Despatch' field into my query, and run it comes up with an error...
"The SQL Statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguouse outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a seperate query that performs the first join and then iclude that query in your SQL statement". Here's the current SQL statement
Code: SELECT [Materials Requested].[Job No], [Materials/Orders].Total, Jobs.[Project Name], Product.Despatch FROM Product, Orders INNER JOIN (((Customer RIGHT JOIN Jobs ON Customer.[Customer ID] = Jobs.[Customer ID]) INNER JOIN [Materials Requested] ON Jobs.[Job No] = [Materials Requested].[Job No]) INNER JOIN [Materials/Orders] ON [Materials Requested].[Materials Requested ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Materials Requested ID]) ON Orders.[Orders ID] = [Materials/Orders].[Orders ID];
I have a table that lists classes available (tblCourses); one that lists class dates (tblDates) and another that lists employees (tblEmployees). I have a fourth table that combines that data into classes taken by the employee (tblTraining). I have a form to input the employee's training with combobox fields for the COURSETITLE and CLASSDATE. I want the CLASSDATE field to only display the dates available for the specific class that was selected. How do I do that?
I have two databases, one containing the tables and one containing the forms and queries. The forms/query database is built from linked tables from the tables database. I would like to expand one of the fields from 7 characters to 9 characters. I planned on doing the in the table database, then updating the linked table. However, the table I need to alter has relationships with about 10 other tables and I get the (you cannot make changes to a related table error message). Is there a way I can make this change without deleting all the relationships?
For future reference, should the relationships have been created in the form/query database?
I'm building a database which will generate work orders, and those have a opening date and closing date, besides that it has a work order number that is of the following format:
YYYY/ NNN (being the NNN the work order number in that year)
to create the number of the work order I'm trying to fill the WOYear field with the year of the WODate field...but I'm not being able to do it... How should I do it?

I have a very simple database with two tables. One stores Schools that I work for and the other holds people that work at that school.
I have a form that displays information from the schools table and I have a button that I want have open a form that displays the people that are related to that school.
THe problem is I can't figure out how to limit the recordset to just the people from the school record I was just viewing.
For example. I am looking at a record with School ID 1. I want to run a query on the People table that will return just the people that work for school id 1. I just can't figure out the criteria part.
Hi, I'm a total newbie at Access, and know nothing about scripts. I've been operating at the level of using the Wizards and drop-down menus. I am trying to create a report that does two things: 1. Displays the results of queries that sum data from a table (I think I have this figured) and 2. Displays those sums as a percentage of a number that is input each time the report is run. (This is only one number that comes from a totally different place and has no prior relation to the data.) Any help/advice that anyone could offer would be much appreciated! Thanks!
