I'm developing a database to handle various aspects of quality control reporting. I've got a working structure however, i think, i have gone off the track slightly... First I'll show you part of the structure:
(please see attached .jpg)
(hope that makes sence)... so effictively I have a many to many relationship.
I have forms for each of these entities (frm_parts, frm_Suppliers). The problem i have noticed is you can assign the part a supplier in frm_Parts but it does not appear in the transaction table as a record. Is this because i have based the field "Part Supplier" (a combo box) in frm_Parts on a query? If this is not the right way to go about it. how do i go about it?!
I have an idea... on this.. If i create a new combo box on the form I can use the wizard to select the supplier ID from the Supplier table (i believe) and "store" it in the transaction table... i think! But I want the user to select the Supplier by drop down list showing Supplier Number and Supplier Name.. not the ID.
Any help is much appriciated!
Next job...
I have a form where I would like the user to be able to enter, for example, a Supplier number and see if a record of the Supplier exists yet. Next I want the user to be able, assuming the Supplier record exists, to search for a record of a Part number from that supplier. Next I want them to be able to "select" that part and be able to open a form with a new record using that part number (this form holds details of a report rasied against that part).
See what I'm getting at?
I've had a go at this but it's been a couple of years since i did any detailed work on an Access database so somethings are a bit hazy!
I'm not asking you to do this for me, but I would much appriciate some pointers on how to create this sort of thing!
Hi, I don't want to abuse anybody's patience but I have yet a couple of other quick question about transaction table. I am using a summation query for the stock on hand where by keeping it simple: stock = sum of movement in the table. What hapens if a simple function is used to calculate the stock. ie: Stock=[Qty Declared-(Qty Declared-Qty Received)-Rejects]-Qty Allocated
All those Qty belong to the same field then I can't just run a sum.
My other concern is that: Qty Declared Qty Received Qty Rejected
are three values entered at the same time but in the same (transaction type) field so data like the date would need to be entered 3 times for each item received?
Thank you very much for your time and patience again,
After a lot of searching, printing and highlighting I want to double check that I have the right idea.
I have a simple inventory control database. From reading the forum, it seems the best approach is to drop the detail lines table of the purchase order (incoming) and the detail lines table of the sale invoices (outgoing) and make one table for all transactions.
The Transactions Table would also keep records of inventory adjustments from inventory counts, etc. Each transaction would be given a type so I know in which direction the stock count moves in (adding or subtracting) when I sum the totals for each item.
Otherwise, I need union queries to ensure all tables are considered in my calculations.
My database is simple (thankfully). Let me know that I am on the right track I like the solution but like any new student, a little reassurance is appreciated.
I have a database that I use to put in orders for our shop and keep track of our part informations as well as paint and packing materials. Everything works good on this but I am trying to create a table for adjusting quantities on hand for packing material based on the part quantities and for adjusting paint in stock based on information given to me after the job is run.
There is already a relationship between parts and packing material as well as parts and paint. When I put an order in I would like to have it adjust out that many packing materials that are related to that part. Once a job is run I need to be able to adjust out the amount of paint used.
For the paint side of this I want it to track the paint used by order, we are trying to get a grasp on how much paint we are using for parts so it is important for me to know how much and when.
I am thinking I need a table that connects paint to orders and has quantities in it, then create a query and do the calculations from there... I do not know how to accomplish that but it sounds like it could be right...
I wish to open a form based on the transaction table populate one of the foreign key fields with a selected value from a combo box from the switch board (with going to a mainform&subform). I know how to get the value of the combo box on the switchboard. I just know how to then store this value in the foreign key field. stSelectedCustomer = Forms![Switchboard].[CustomerID] gives me the value from the combo box on the switchboard. I then want to open the transaction form to open a new record and have Customer ID on this form be the stSelectedCustomer storing this value in the transaction table when the user enters values in the other fields.
hi, im a a level it student and my current coursework is making a new program/system for access im making a new order form for the shop where i work and i want to link sundries on a diff order form to sundries on the main order form so it prints it all off on one sheet, basically i want to know how i can get the realtionship between ID number of the order, and the sundrie to link together, and if its possible at all, if its not ill have to change my project slightly which i dont mind, just wondered if any one could help me out a little thanks!:p
I'm using a Access 2003 form to access a query that'll be used to generate a report. The example I'm following is found in http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...CL100570041033.
On my form, I have a combo box (Course ID), textbox (StartDate) and textbox (EndDate).
In my query, I'm using the values from the above 3 controls as criteria. E.g.: In the Course_Date field in my query, I used Between [Forms]![Form_Name]![StartDate] And [Forms]![Form_Name]![EndDate] as the criteria.
If I leave the form controls blank,and click on the OK button, it'll generate a report with errors. What should I do if I want to generate a report that display all records in the report? E.g.: If I select a course in my combo box and leaves the start date & end date blank, it'll generate a report that displays all records for that particular course.
We've got a database that was on an old computer (Windows 98), and we wanted to transfer this database to our new computers (Windows XP). The database transfers over fine, but there seems to be a problem.
When we try to run a report, it doesn't semem to work properly. We are a training agency and the report in question is designed to show the courses booked in for each tutor between two set dates. The dates are typed into a form (start date and end date), and the tutor can also be selected from this form, and then a report is generated.
Without dates being inputted, all the courses are shown (so the report is pages and pages long). This is working ok. However, when dates are inputted the report stops working and error messages appear on the report. Hence it seems to be a problem with the dates, but I can't understand what since all the boxes are exactly the same as the version on the other computer, and when transferred back to the other computer it also works fine.
Any help with what could be going wrong here would be GREATLY appreciated.
Hi guys! I have a front-end (FE) linked to a back-end (BE) db. I have added a password to the BE, but the knock on effect is that the FE won't work now. Just says 'Invalid Password'. I'm using MS Access 2002.
Any help would be appreciatted.
(The password is to prevent unwanted users from deleting data on the BE on the server)
this is the code that im using to help me with a listbox and a search text box that is embedded on my main form. it works ok. The problem is, i was trying to link an already filled out Table with data to this interface.
When i key in information from the form it works, but when i just enter stuff through the table (which was already completed and handed to me) When I click in the listbox on the main form the code window just pops up showing this section of my code. Help./
I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG) Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer
I want to run 10 big queries (append/update/delete) one after another. If error happens before they all finish (if user press escape button) - I want to discard all record changes made by any of those queryes. I suppose begin/end transaction method is the right way to do that. Can you give me an example of code?
I'm not sure what to search for to figure this one out. My searches, so far, haven't helped me much.
I'm tracking transactions in a clinic. The amount due for the visit is calculated fine, but sometimes people don't pay right away. (And sometimes pay ahead, which will just be a negative amount due.) I need my transaction to not only show what's due from today's visit, but also to look at previous transactions of the same client and calculate what may still be due from before. Additionally, if I pull up an OLD record, I need it to show what WAS due on that date, not what's due today.
So, I know I need to refer to dates prior to the date on the form, regardless whether it's today's date (for a new visit) or a previous date (for a previous visit). That's what I'm confused about.
How do I refer to [txtDate] on THIS form and not confuse Access with [txtDate] on earlier forms? Code like this: SUM[blahblahblah] WHERE [txtDate] < [txtDate] surely won't work. Does: SUM[blahblahblah] WHERE [txtDate] < [Me].[txtDate] work?
Should this kind of calculation be in a query or in the Control Source itself, or somewhere else?
And do I need the square brackets or not? Do I use '.' or '!'?
I have been looking around the forums for a little while now... and cannot seem to find anything which will help me.... heres my query..
I have a stock control database.. which allows for sales transactions via a barcode reader...
my first query is.... when the user scans a product.. how can this be 'looked up' in the (UPC data table)... returning the correct information.. ie.. description.. but then taking the price from the product table.. the query doesnt seem to let me be able to join the two tables.. no idea why!?
secondly.. I want to create a form.. for the 'sales transaction'.. when the user clicks 'pay' i want the form to clear and store all these items in the sales table.. (deducting the units in stock at the same time..)
I hope anyone has any suggestions.. or pointers! Many Thanks :)
I have these fields ID,InvoiceID,DateEntered,Description
What I need now is to show the most recent transaction per invoice and what was the description for it.
Doing this
SELECT InvoiceID, Max(DateEntered) AS MaxOfDate FROM TableName GROUP BY InvoiceID;
Works Perfect. The problem I have is when I display the Description field. As soon as I do that, I see all invoices and not just the most recent. Anyone know how to write this sql statement that will return the invoiceID, dateentered, and Description only for the most recent invoice in the system?
I want to create a simple data base, in which I have to record Payments received from each customer on daily basis. and on daily basis i want to generate a report for the transaction I have made. example of data table is as follow. payment mode is cash or bank transfer.how to generate reports for day to day transaction.
I am trying to create an Access application where income recognition is automatically calculated and stored at the end of the month based on established parameters. How can this be done? Does it require VBA programming?
Hi, I have been using the following query, literally for years, without any changes. I run it from code using db.execute, and I do use the dbfailonerror option.
One of the things it does is to add a '3' to the end of the [serial]. [serial] is the primary key in the TST3 table. You might think that there would be a problem if, say, I have a list of serials containing 35 56 1 13 and I'm trying to update them to 353 563 13 133 But this has worked OK in the past. NOW I'm getting a KV Error when it tries to update the 1 to 13, because there's already a 13 in the table.
Even stranger, when the query fails, all the rows BEFORE the offending record DO get updated. So the query fails, and I end up with: 353 563 1 13 (and yes, I DO have dbfailonerror set)
So, it looks to me as if update queries are no longer running as transactions. I am pretty certain that action queries have always been run transaction-wise in the past... if the query fails, the whole thing should fail. WHY is the transaction processing no longer working for this update query? Has anyone else noticed this?
I recently ran microsoft update and am now running Access 2002 (10.6771.6830) SP3.
I am trying to create a suitable expression, either on the form itself or in the underlying query, that calculate the balance after each transaction, like a bank statement. What is the best way to do it?
I'm trying to extract invoice and payment transaction data from a very old version of quickbooks. This very old version allows for the export of customer and item lists to .iif format which I can view in Excel. However, there is no method of exporting transactions. All of my searches for how to extract the data have come up empty.
I am pretty sure that I once found a post relating to looping through the file line by line and converting the data using vba. I can't find that post anywhere either.
Any method of extracting data from a quickbook .qbw file. I'm willing to do a fair amount of manual parsing if I have to, but I need to get to the data first.
I created a report to show stock level and transactions. there are date, transaction, quantity and balance fields. the balance field show the total balance of the item at the moment. what I need is to show the balance at the transaction date.
I have a query which is compiling monthly transaction of fee, the students paying through voucher. To every month the query is building records for students (Grouped), my problem is i have to show the arrears in the same query which would be on minus/plus of paid amount from actual fee both are in this query i can populate the arrears by simply subtracting both fields but the thing is that i am looking for a arrears which would be the adding total of previous arrears as to date transaction.
I have a login screen that works fine but I need to lock some part of the system from normal users but I can't figure out how to track if the user who is logged on is security level is high and can authorize the transaction!!!
I have users table and in it I record the users, passwords, security level. So when someone logs on I have no way of knowing who they are and in order check their security level. I did it in the past by setting the C drive VOL into a value and search but as we use Citrix XenApp this is not possible the C drive is the server drive and if multiple users login to to that server then the VOL value would be wrong.
I'm developing my own personal finance database and the part stumping me on the design is how to setup the categories per transaction. For example a primary category would be "home" and the secondary category would be "furnishings". How do I set this up? I'm getting stuck on how to tie it into the transaction table.
I'm familiar with writing SQL queries, but this is really my first stab at database design.
The relationship diagram is attached. The transaction table and the category tables are to the right of the diagram.
