Access 97 does not display records in their original order of entry in a report or its query whether they are indexed or not. Results
are always in ascending or descending order even when sorting and groupings are not set. Any suggestions?
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.

I apologise if this has been posted in the wrong place.
I am currently making changes to a VB front end for a database of jobs in our company. we have approx 2000 job records in the job table. The program uses a recordset to move sequentially up or down the table, record by record as it searches.
The code is doing its job fine, but for some reason or another, the records in the database are not in order. They loosely follow the order you would expect from 1 to 2000, but every now and then deviates. Obviously, when pulling data out one record at a time, this gives the data in the wrong order.
I did not design the database. There was orignally no primary key or indexing. The new job number (an obvious choice for a primary key) is generated by the exectuable program.
I have spent hours trying to apply sorts in different ways, and reading about how records are stored, and my limited understanding has led me to believe that merely sorting records in access is not enough to change the order that they are physically stored in.
My coding abillity is not good enough code round this problem, and the ideal fix would be to find out some way of forcing an ordering from now on (ie would making job number and indexed primary key now prevent this happening to future records) and to find some way of re ordering the previous records (not just sorting them to be viewed in order).
Am I being really silly and missing something or is this a problem people have had before?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
How do I find the order entry template that came with the 2003 version?
I have the new vista and it is not there. I cannot find it anywhere.

I have to provide a Quote/Order/Invoice and stock control system very quickly for one of our satellite offices, and wondered if anyone knew of any "boilerplate" databases that have done all the grunt work, so that I can just edit reports and forms etc to get them up and running. We are happy to pay a (modest) fee for this service, but would expect to get full access to the design/code for later development and customisation if required.
I've tried Googling but get page after page of rubbish !! Any pointers would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page:
a) Complete first 6 fields of main form
b) Complete subform 1
c) Complete subform 2
Second page:
d) Complete 5th field of main form
e) Complete subform 3
f) Complete 6th field of main form
Third page
g) Complete three fields of main form
Any help appreciated,
Seth
I have taken the Order Entry database sample from Microsoft and have added a "Wizard" type interface.
Question) I'm having trouble understanding how to get more than one Feature applied to a single new service.
- For example, If I add a new SERVICE to an ORDER, and I need to add all available FEATURES to that SERVICE, how do I do that? *see my attached database & relationships. The form of FEATURES is also attached. I just want to be able to check off the ones that apply.
(is this many to many? I tried a junction table but can't make it work)
I would really appreciate some advice on my Forms, and definitely advice on my Table / Relationship structure.
ps: My tblServices use to be called tblProducts. I then added the tblCategories, tblPaid, tblTeleServ, tblLongDistRate, tbl800Serv & tblFeatures.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi, I am using a wet and cold holiday weekend to learn about Access. I want to create a simple sales order entry function.
I have set up 2 tables Orders and Order Details. The Orders table holds order number, customer, due date, etc and the Order Details table is to hold the line items (product, quantity, price, etc). So far, so good.
I have created 2 forms and made the Order Details form a subform of the Order Header form. So far, so good.
I have 2 questions arising from this.
1. How do I get the cursor to tab from the last field of the header form to the first field of the details subform? When I get to the last field of the header form it just goes to create another order.
2. Is it possible, and if so where do I get info on how, to enter (and show) many detail lines for the one header. This is a normal sales order situation, customer stuff followed by 5 or 6 lines of products on the order.
I have two old (Windows 95) MS Access tutorial manuals, beginners and advanced but can't find the answwers there. I am using MS Access 2000.
Any help or pointers to where I can get the help would be appreciated.
BD:confused:
I have a data entry form to add new records to an Access database file called Claims. An auto-incrementing sequence number (SeqNbr) needs to be kept PER YEAR. If the user enters a date the sequence number pertaining to the year of this date needs to be incremented. The first record within a new year of course takes value 1.Records can be added at random for different years.
A simple SQL-statement can be made to determine the new sequence number:SELECT max(Claims.SeqNbr) + 1 from Claims where year(this.value) = year(Claims.EventDate)...this.value meaning the value of the date control in which the user entered the date.I need to return the new sequence number to another field on the form in which also the COMPANY CODE, YYYY and MM from the EventDate, the new sequence number and the USER INITIALS are concatenated.
Newbie Access user here, with what I hope is a fairly easy task--
I have a form which contains fields for info about clients and a subform which has only one field for a corresponding video tape number. Is there any way to limit the record for this subform to one single entry, so that when I hit Tab after entering the single number, the second record in the subform will not appear, but rather I can jump to the next record in the main form?
If not, then can I just tab through the main form, into the sub form and then onto the next record? Is there a shortcut to create the next record other than having to manually mouse click the next record arrow at the bottom of the form?
I have a form on access, that displays data for the customer and products that he has purchased. I want to set it up in such a way that if I click on the customer it shows all the products he has purchased. And if i click on the products, it goes to the product information page(form).
I currently have a form in which I have put in two text boxes that have the product and customer fields as data source. The form displays records from a query that is used to filter the customer's purchased products sorted ascending.
The form is working partly correct. It displays only one product from the customer that is in ascending order but not all. If I add more text boxes, it displays the same first product repeatedly.How can I set it up as to display all the products that the customer bought for each customer?
I have records of vehicles numbered from B1 to B300. Can I make Access display records in the sequence B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 instead of B1 B10 B100 B101 etc?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a customer table with an address Column and an Order table with a OrderDate column .

I have created a form and a subform from a table.
Initially I created a table with 11 rows. After completion of my project I added an extra of 480 rows to the main table. But the newly added rows are not coming in my subform.
Attached is my project.
Main : Main table (It consists of around 491 rows)
MForm : Main Form (It shows of only 11 records which I was 1st created)
How to refresh my subform inorder to display all the rows.
I have code attached to a command button to fill a Combo Box with data from a music collection. A letter of the alphabet is entered into a Text Box then records beginning with that letter are copied from a table, either by Artist or Title. They are saved to a temporary table at which time they are in no particular order. Those records are copied to a further table and saved in alphabetical order. This table is then used to fill the Combo Box.
I used two temporary tables because the records were not displayed in the correct order. I hoped this might cure it, it did not. The records are in order in the table but not in the Combo Box.
Code:
Private Sub Command68_Click()
'SEARCH AND FILL COMBO BOX
On Error GoTo errTrap
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM tempList;"

I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?
I was using the following code on a field (ItemCode) that was indexed to prevent duplication of records. The intent is that the user will get an error message that a duplicate exists before they enter all the data for the record and get the built in error message that Access 2003 provides when an index violation has occurred.
Code:
Private Sub ItemCode_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Answer As Variant
Answer = DLookup("[ItemCode]", "tblQuestions", "[ItemCode] = '" & Me.ItemCode & "'")
If Not IsNull(Answer) Then
MsgBox "Item Code already exists" & vbCrLf & "Please enter unique Item Code.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True
Me.ItemCode.Undo
Else:
End If
End Sub
Now, the index for this is based on two fields (ItemCode and Question Group). I would like to display the same message before update but don't know how to include the second field in the syntax.
I have a form with multiple textboxes and comboboxes that allow for user entry, and a subform displaying a table, where the entries from the form are saved and can be retrieved. It's basically a way of creating new task entries and editing existing ones from a single interface.
One of the fields is an "issue number" of sorts, which is a 5-digit code that identifies the task. We have a website where details of each task are stored, and the URL format is akin to this: [URL] ....
The functionality that I'm hoping for is that when the user saves the record, it will be saved as the full link address, by concatenating the static first portion of the address and the code entered by the user. However, I need the table to still only display the code, not the whole link address, and will follow the full address when clicked in the subform table.
Hi,
I am a bit stuck now and I want to get some ideas from you.
The context first : I am writing a timesheet application and I've got a main form + a sub-form.
In the mainform, I select the engineer, the contract and the week nbr.
My mainform calculates the first and the last day of the selected week and modifies the recordsource property of my sub-form to select the existing records with the right engineer + contract nbr + range of first and last of week. This means that I can only have maximum 7 records for the seven days of the week because the application records only a global time per engineer/contract/per day.
Now I want to know how can I add new records in the subform for the missing days and how to put them in the right order ?
Example: I retrieve from my select in the subform, the times from day 2 and day 4 but I need to generate the missing days 1, 3, 5,6 & 7.
How can i display them in the right order: day 1 (auto), day 2 (table), day 3 (auto), day 4 (table), and so on...
In which event do I have to put code and what kind of code ??
Please help !
I am making a database that requires a list of all the crew people in our company. This list is not sorted by alphabetical order but by order of significance (or frequency of) crew person. This list is rather lengthy and if I add a crew person it can only be added to the bottom of the list. The only way I have been able to do this is by manually resorting and retyping the list. Is there any way to add a row in the middle of a table (like I can in Excel)??
Thanks, Joe
I have a form with a subform. I want the records on the subform to be in alphabetical order of first name. At the moment, they appear in the order the records were entered.
I have opened up the subform itself in design view and specified the record order. If I then switch to form view for this, the records correctly display in alphabetical order.
However, when this form is displayed as the subform, the ordering reverts to the original order of record entry.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Gary

I'm very confused. I have two tables in my db that should be the same except for columns(I copied one table from the other). In each I have a "default" entry as the first record in the table just to prevent my select queries from erroring out if they don't find a match for the criteria. When I use the following statement,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Name, Picture FROM background WHERE Name ='" & Fname & "' OR Name='Default'"
it returns the default value as the record, not the match for "Name", even though there is one(when I remove the OR Name='Default' it pulls the record).
When I use this query for the other table from the same .asp page,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Date_Time, URL, Icon, Title, Description, Status FROM Submission WHERE Technician ='" & Fname & "' OR Technician='Default'"
it returns the record where "Technician" matches even though it is below "default" in the table.
I want the query to return the "default" record only if there is NO match for the first criteria, which it does in the second case, but not the first. Is there some way to force this? Thanks in advance for any assistance provided! -Chris Gordon
