A Hint In The Right Direction.... Please :)
Nov 11, 2007
We have a small business selling computer products and now we have a website to sell the products on. We have 3 main suppliers each with a few thousand products and currently I am using a macro (many infact) in excel to combine the current data files we get from each supplier into one file that gets uploaded to the website for import. However we would like to move the whole thing over to access to hopefully speed up the daily process of creating the file for upload. I get similar data from each supplier although obviously the columns arn't in the same order etc and one supplier has info that the others do not but what is the best way to set something up so that it pulls all the products in from each supplier and rearranges the data to fit what is wanted.
I haven't used access before but I have time to put into this to try and get it to work well.

Basic user here,, I know I have seen what i am looking for on someone elses database but for the life of me I cant figure it out...
I would like for a field to open upon the click of a check box...
ie...
check box: [attrite], if I check the box I would like the field [date] to open in order for me to put a date in it. if the box is not checked the [date] field will not be seen.
is this simple? if it is code could you really explain on how to do it? Can it be done with a form or something different?
thanks for the help
Jake

Not sure what this covers so if someone could point me in the right direction, so I can get started.
I want to do a search of customers through a button on a form with names, and there you get a list of customer that match your criteria. When you click or double click on that customer you get sent to the main form with all the customer details on it.
thx
Damien

Hello,
I am new to this forum and Access databases in general, me and a colleague have been given the task of recreating our course brochure into an online searchable webpage. The web side of things I am ok with, its just the designing of the database that is causing us both endless problems.
Before I go into more detail about what it is that we need and showing the example Access database we have created so far, can I ask if I am posting this is the right section and secondly can I attach a database to a post?
Many thanks

I have a Department status report that each of our department uses to determine in which order to process our cabinets. Management would like to create a form based on this report, so that it is listed in the same order where the user could click a checkbox on each job that was completed. When finished this would update our history table with the checkbox date for the related department.
Report example
JobCode Run Lot SpecialColor Completed(unbound checkbox)
GHHT A 131 Y Y
HHTY Z 13 N
FRBG F 23 Y Y
I created a datasheet form that shows this information. I added an unbound checkbox but if you check one, they all check. I want to able to select lot by lot. I guessing at that point I would need to create an update query that would update tblHistory and the correct department date with date() on the ones that were selected.
Not quite sure how to proceed with this one. The special color field makes a difference on where the date goes. For example if the Mill completes these jobs and it's a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Assembly. If it's not a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Prefinished. The primary key between the two is DelID.

Dont use access much but I have basic db dev. skills. That said, here's my dillema:
I have a front desk entry form fro service calls. There is a entry field for customerID. I would like to auto populate f_name, l_name etc... from just entering customerID. I know what I would do in an SQL situation, but how does that transfer over to access? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is there a way to set the text direction in the textbox to be vertical instead of horisental.
Or is it possible to rotate the text box to set it to be vertical instead of horisental.
Thanks

I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom.
How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs?
Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Does anyone know of an off the shelf application I can purchase to allow users access to my Access database over the web? I have select data I want to allow my customers access to dynamically via the web.
I am familiar with ASP however I am not at a level to develop something from the ground up.
I have access to a Windows Server, an established database and a great desire to get this done.
My vision is to have a daily upload of my back-end (for the sake of current data)to the web server for access via the ASP front end or whatever the case may be.
I am sure to all who read this you understand what I am looking for.
I will definitely entertain hiring someone to work with me on this project if need be. Best case scenario is someone has already done the work and I can just buy it...
Thanks.

I am fairly new to developing with Access.
I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.
I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.
Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?
I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.
At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.
Thanks in anticipation of any help. :cool:

I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:
Code:
Dim PctBZ As Double
Dim PctBA As Double
Dim PctKI As Double
Dim PctMA As Double
PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)
[Code] ....
It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.
