Use Vb To Create New Records Based On Number Range
Apr 16, 2014
I am looking for a way to use vb, or any other way, to allow my users to enter a railcar initial and then a number sequence and add new records to the end of the table.
For example in a form the user can enter the car initial and the number sequence
Railcar initial: GATX
Number sequence : 290001 - 290100
I would like a way to create a temp table that then has 100 records
GATX 290001
GATX 290002
GATX 290003
etc etc.
I can then use this temp table in an append query to add them to my main table.
I have developed a Debt Management program for work but I am stuck on a feature that we need to add to it. Basically I have a table which holds "planned future transactions". These are ad hoc transactions that need to be added from time to time to the clients budget. For example the client might have $500 a quarter for school fees for the next two years or he might receive a bonus every six months for the next 5 years. Currently we are putting these in manually but it is tedious and is causing complaints. The feature I require is to be able to add a record such as the school fees, nominate that this fee is paid every three months for the next 8 quarters and get the system, say through an append query? to create 8 records, each with the appropriate date 3 months after the previous one.
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.
Code: ' count records in query Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim db As Database Dim strSQL As String Dim beginDatum As String Dim eindDatum As String Set db = CurrentDb
I work for a company that manufactures home appliances & electronics. When those products fail within the warranty period, we are obligated to repair the units for the customers.
We have around 200 factory technicians who make those repairs. Each tech is able to make approximately 8 repairs each day. We have a dispatching system that assigns the repairs to the techs based on their availability each day. But the problem is that we have to manually enter and adjust the schedule for all 200 techs every single day, and this takes a lot of time. And of course technicians get sick, take vacation, etc, so we have to adjust the schedule so no techs will be assigned calls when they're off.
The problem: For example, currently when a technician takes off for 2 weeks, the user has to enter 14 individual records for the tech, which is somewhat time consuming. What I need is to program a button click event to determine the two dates (startDate & endDate) and append multiple records from one single entry in the form for each date in between and including the two date fields.
I know I'll probably need to create a loop that will loop through the two dates on the form and append a record for each day, so I can then cross reference the dates to the master schedule dates to make sure that no availability is opened for the techs taking time off.
I have a table with an empty column called ActionID. I need to generate a numerical number that begins with 5000 and goes up by 1 number on each saved record. I have a basic form that links all of my other field to the table except the one I need to generate (ActionID) but will need that number saved to the table once its created.
I'm trying to create a database for a construction company, as an experiment more than anything, and my problem is this:
I need to create a set of identical records in the table "buildings" based on the information entered into a text box by a user on the form for registering a new project. I want each record to be identical except for the "plot number" field, which I want to start at one and increase to the number of buildings defined in the text box.
"Projects" is one table and "Plots" is in the other.
I am creating a query which determines the number of days a payment is delinquent. Is there a function I can use in a query field that would look at the numeric field and if the value of the subject field was: < 60 Days "30-59 days" < 90 Days "60-89 Days" <120 Days "90-119 Days" >=120 Days "120 Days +"
It was my understanding that the IIF function tests for a condition and can only return yes/no results. I seem to remember that SQL had something like a least or most function that would allow me to set maximum value for range of days. I apologize that my question is confusing and hope you can understand what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks for any help
I'm creating a query for a someone who wants quantities summed by a weekly range and correspond to a week number. This person wants Access to do something that is a simple function on Excel.
I have no clue how to do this or if Access is even made to do something like this.
I have a table called StockTable with the following fields Location, Status, Serial, Make, Model, LastDate, DotNumber
I also have a table called FCDateRange with three fields
DateStart DateEnd and DotNumber
For example
3/7/13 - 3/13/13 - 1 3/14/13 - 3/20/13 - 2
Im trying to figure how to write a query that if the lastdate from the StockTable falls during the DateStart and DateEnd fields it will assign it the number in the DotNumber field
I want Access to automatically generate a reference number for a record based on the values in on two other fields for a given record using a form.
The first field is called Operation Number.
The second is Bag Number.
The reference number needs to be in this format: 19C.3.1
Where 19C is the Operation Number, 3 is the bag number, and 1 is automatically generated. Additionally I need the last number --the automatically generated one--to go back to 1 if with each new bag number.
This is kind of like library catalog numbers. Not sure how to do this.
I know this has probably been gone over, but I'm just looking for a super-simple way to put a button on my form that will create a number of records equal to the number of days in the month listed in a field. For instance, if MyField is "4/1/2015", I'd like the system to create one record for each date between 4/1/15 and 4/30/15.
I have scoured the forums, and I find many threads on creating multiple records, but none of them deal with the same type of thing I need. I have a field, called MyField, and I have a table called MyTable with a column called MyDate. I want to enter a date into MyField, then click a button, and the button will run code/macro/whatever that will create multiple rows in MyTable, one for each date in Month([MyField])
I have a code that works great from the parent form but I decided to change the format and call it from a lostfocus event in the subform instead. Now I keep getting error 3314:"You must enter a value in the tbGuests.LastName field".
The code should copy the parent form fields and create x number of duplicate records according to a field on sub-form. It then runs an append query to add the information from the subform.
Code:
Private Sub GuestsInParty_LostFocus() Dim partymsg As Integer Dim dbs As dao.Database, rst As dao.Recordset Dim F As Form Dim intHowMany As Integer Dim intCounter As Integer
Where a many to many relationships is resolved with a linking table...Is it possible to create an entry in the linking table where the two linked tables have the same value e.g. create a entry in the linking table where client table has same value as a job profile table i.e. both are in insurance. Therefore want to create an entry in the middle table with foreign keys from either link automatically
We want to send letters to clients on behalf of our salespeople on a weekly basis from a list of clients in a table. But some salespeople will have 5 letters go out and some will have 20 go out (depending on what amount the salesperson is able to followup on). I can store the weekly letter quantity number in the table no problem, but I am just not sure how to have the query show 5 letters for Bob and 20 letters for Sue. I know about the "Top N" setting in query design, but not sure how to set it to read from the table.
I'm having some difficulty obtaining the answers I want from my query. I'd have been more comfortable using filters in excel to find the answers, but my dataset is too large in this instance.
I devised a query which I thought should achieve the results, but based on a subset analysed in Excel the answers are significantly different.
My table has about thirty fields, the query I've produced is this: SELECT AH_orphans.Product, AH_orphans.Comments, AH_orphans.ESP, AH_orphans.[ESP Parts], <snip, all other fields in table> FROM AH_orphans WHERE (((AH_orphans.ESP)="n") AND ((AH_orphans.FRU)="y") AND ((AH_orphans.EntitlementName) Like "*uptime*") AND ((AH_orphans.Account) Like "nation*") AND ((AH_orphans.Type) Like "Primar*") AND ((AH_orphans.[Is a parent?])="#n/a")) OR (((AH_orphans.ESP) Is Null) AND ((AH_orphans.FRU) Is Null) AND ((AH_orphans.EntitlementName) Like "*uptime*") AND ((AH_orphans.Account) Like "nation*") AND ((AH_orphans.Type) Like "Primar*") AND ((AH_orphans.[Is a parent?])="#n/a"));
What I'm hoping for is the subset which match the following conditions: - ESP field is not "Y". Possible values Y, N, null - FRU field is not "N". Possible values Y, N, null - Only those records from EntitlementName which include the substring 'uptime' - Only those records from Account which start with the subtring nation - Only those records from Type which include the substring primar - Only those records from [Is a parent?] which equal #N/A.
Asking the same questions in Excel I get around 1.5k records. If I use the quoted query on the same dataset in Access I get precisely 11.
Thanks for reading this far! If anyone can spot the flaw/s in my query, or indeed advise that I'm going at it completely the wrong way I'd be very grateful of some advice.
This may not even be possible, but I am looking to create a Query that can locate records in an Access Table based on 2 columns of data that I have stored in a CSV file.
My table contains several fields, 2 of which are "Dept" and "SKU" and has over a million records.
My CSV file contains 3 fields: "Dept", "SKU" and "Total" - total being the number of times that particular Dept/SKU combination is used.
I need to be able to parse the dept/sku values from each row in the CSV to the query and locate only the records that contain the same values in the Access table.
The plan being to delete out those that are identified by the query.
I have a table with a field that shows the number of pieces that a parcel contains. It looks like this: ParcelID, Pieces, Description
Data example: 1001, 5, Jackets 1002, 10, shoes etc
I need to print labels for each piece that shows to which parcel it belongs. The report will look like: 1001, Total pieces = 5, 1 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 2 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 3 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 4 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 5 of 5 pieces, Jackets
and 1002, Total pieces = 10, 1 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 2 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 3 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 4 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 5 of 10 pieces, shoes
If I could populate a table where the number of records equal the value of the pieces column then it's a pretty simple report but I can't figure this out.
I have a report that I am trying to complete based on several queries. I am trying to count the number of records based on certain criteria and using the following DCount.
=DCount("[Calculated time]","IPG1","[Calculated Time] <= 0.04" And [Ship-to party] In ("SN00207PJZ","SN09162XXX","SN09324XXX"))
I want to count the number of IPG1 records that are under .04 and have the Ship-to party of the ones listed. I have tried everything that I can think of to get it to work but can's seem to get it to. I figure it's something easy but I don't see it.
All; using 2010. How can I get a subform to grow or shrink based on num of records returned? Its a continuous subform. Tried changing Vertical and Horizontal Anchors as well as some VBA suggestions but havent been able to make any of them work.
The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
I'm building a quick database, but some of the data to go into the database is quite... odd...
Anyway, the point is, I have one sheet that says
"Job Number 1200-1245" which would have all the same details, dates, etc.
Is there a quick and easy way to put in a range, say J1200-J1245, enter the data once, then be able to query... for example J1212 would return the same data.
I have a list of customers with multiple rent start and end dates. I need to create a query where each customer will have a record for every month/year between their respective rent start and end dates. I generally use macros but can't figure out a way to do it without VBA. My field names are Rent StDt and Rent EndDt. My query name is QCalcREndDt. I use version 2010.
I am trying to make a query that finds all records by the "Month Number" and have problems.
What I did: Month(DateField) I got month numbers like I wanted but when I typed in the criteria below, I got February thru December Records, but when I search on anything "up to" 9 it works fine.
I want: Between{month1] and [month2] Month1= 9 (example) Month2= 12 (example) Need results to be from the requested months but any year
I have to imagine it's how the date is converted to an integer, but not sure.
