Ihave created a table that contains student name, last name address and GPA. THe instructor asked :You must find all the students that have a GPA of 3.0 or greater. Sort them so the highest GPA is the first student in the query.
I've read through many of the threads relating to sending Email from Access but can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. I work as a Tutor Coordinator at a local college and I've set up Access to handle a lot of the day-to-day chores that our administrative assistant has to deal with.
One feature that would be absolutely wonderful would be to create and send Emails to students at the click of a button. I have several types of Email I'd like to be able to set up, but the one most needed (and probably most complex) is this:
Students come in to the office and request a tutor. If we have a tutor available, we assign them to an available tutor. If there is no tutor availabe, then every Friday we send out an Email to each individual student saying something like this:
"Dear John Doe - We currently do not have a tutor for MATH 101 at this time, but when one becomes available we will let you know... blah, blah, blah..."
I'd like to set it up so that the body of the message comes from a template - such as a text file (that is easily edited by a user) and populated with fields from a query.
Probably do something like this:
Query the Student_First_Name_field, Student_Last_Name_field, Department_Name_field, Course_Number_field, and Student_Email_field. Send an Email to each Email address pulled from the Student_Email_field and tell them the following - "Dear <first name, last name> we currently do not have a tutor for <department name, course number> at this time... blah, blah, blah..."
Currently the way the administrative assistant handles this is to send each student an Email individually - manually creating each Email with the specific data needed. As you can guess, this is quite time-consuming.
I'm rather new to Access but have been a RDMS programmer (in PICK) for several years. I know what it is I want to do, but don't know how to do it in Access.
Any help?
Would the best way be to use text files for templates?
Can text files be set up with field codes (Access recognizes "<LAST NAME>" to be Student_Master_Table.Last_Name_field)?
I'm guessing this will likely have to be a Visual Basic loop that works with data from a query.
I have a simple database with 2 tables, students and progress. I need to set up my database so that when I create a new record for a student (using a form I've created) it automatically creates 4 new entries in the progress table using the ID I have generated in the form and a task number (1-4) for each of these entries.
Additionally, once all tasks are set to complete = true, I need to set the field "all tasks complete" to true. I'd like to do this all without vba if possible.
I can't quite get my head around this - any help is much appreciated.
I have (amongst others):
tblStudents (containing basic info. name etc) tblClasses (containing a list of studentIDs with classes they are in, so, for example, there may be 3 entries of studentid "1", each with different classes next to them, to show that studentid 1 is in classes: a b and c for example. tblGrades (containing studentID and masses of fields with different grades for different subjects in.)
What I would like to do, is select the class name from a list (which I can do, no problem). Open up a form listing all the students in that class, with all their grades next to them.
This SOUNDS simple - but I don't think it really is! I could just be having a VERY simple moment though too - if so, I apologise!
I've been designing a database for a private school. Every Student attends some Lessons in specific Classes.
To my knowledge I can meet the above requirement by using a join table which holds StudentID, LessonID and ClassID, or to have a join table StudentsandLessons which holds StudentID and LessonID and another table with a one-to-one relation with StudentsandLessons which holds the ClassID for every Student-Lesson record.
The first way has the disadvantage of not allowing null values for records. This is a problem for me, because in the school the want firstly to enter Lessons and afterwards - when Schedule is ready to - enter Classes. I thought a solution to the above restriction could be the Classes field to have a default value e.g. NoClassYet but this isn't aesthetically correct for me. The second way overcomes the above restriction, but it doesn't seem "programmatically " correct to me.
Any ideas would be far more than just helpful. Thank you in advance
I'm trying to return a list of students in a particular team who have not attended a certain number of sessions at a gym, between two dates. For some reason i get the error. At most one record can be returned by this subquery. (Error 3354).
SELECT [Student ID], Count(*) AS ["Number of Times Attended"] FROM Gym_Attendance WHERE [Gym Date] BETWEEN [Forms]![SV_Attendance]![txtStart].Value AND [Forms]![SV_Attendance]![txtEnd].Value AND [Student ID] Like (SELECT [Student ID] FROM Student_Sports WHERE [Sporting Team] = [Forms]![SV_Attendance]![lstTeam].Value) GROUP BY [Student ID] HAVING Count(*) < [Forms]![SV_Attendance]![txtNo].Value;
I have a large database of students and parents which charts their weight, waist circ., lifestyle etc. When I then create reports, is it possible to change the colour of the entry so that I can differentiate between students and parents results? In other words, can I have all student entries in red and all parents in black, for example? At the moment, when I try to change the colour of one of these, the entire column changes to that colour and I don't know how to amend my reports to do this. Please see attached.
I am working a database that manages student's Records including marks for various subjects, but i would like to do the following on each of the students' report cards:
a) Display the marks for all the 12 subjects .This one i have done.
b) Display a total for all marks of each student.Done as well.
c) The problem is, i don't know how to display the position of each student on the individual report cards.I want to base this grading on the total marks obtained by each student in the same class.
I prepared students details in access, but when i look the form view students particulars looks automatically (like name, age, weight and address). But what i need is students details has to come after I enter the name.
I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:
Start Date/Time End Date/Time Employee
At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):
StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee 12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith 12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe 13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith 13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe
I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?
A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.
I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.
Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.
Is there any way I can do a search that lets me put in a section of a part number and the part number be found? I only see how I can find the number if I put in the entire number.
I think this is fairly simple, but being as I haven't ever done it! I want to do a search to find all records less those called "Default". As I say I just cant think how to do it. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Im creating a database for college using MS access 2003.
I have 3 table that contain data and i am building form to allow a user to search for a particular customer. The customer ID in my customer table is an auto number.
I have a button on my form and it shows the find and replace box when pressed which is what i want but i then want it so that when a user types a customer ID number in to that find and replace box and it is an exact match for the find and replace box to auto close else show an Error message and allow the user to input another customer number,
Im sure there is macro code to do this so im asking if anyone knows or has any better ideas?
I have attempted for two days to following codes. I am still unable to get the way out. Would you give me a help?
The field fund_cd is a combo box of transaction table to look up reference table called fund_type. Here is the structure of fund_type:
fund_cd text 3
fund_desc text 50
fund_currency text 5
My needs are to pull both values of fund_cd and fund_currency to transaction table, so 1 combo box cannot meet my needs. As such, I write following codes to base on selected fund_cd to find appropriate value of fund_currency in fund_type.
From the code below, I meet the run-time error ‘3001’ and I am not sure can I finally get fund_currency using method of GetString.
I am trying to code a combo box control to find a record. This is incredibly simple but for some reason it won't work. Could you tell me what I am missing. I have put the following code in the after update of the control
Dim rs as Object Set rs= Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[ContestNo]='"&Me![Combo23] & "'" Me.Bookmark=rs.Bookmark
I don't get any errors but it won't work either...any ideas??
I have an unbound text box. I want the user to be able to type in all or part of a title for a movie. Hit the find button and then have a form open with entry's based on the text box.
Hello to all, Little new in Access i would like to know how to use the key to find directly to a record in a table. ie : i have a table where the primary key (unique) is a date, using VBA i would like to know the instruction to find directly the record 01/06/2004 for exemple. Thanks in advance. VINCENT
I realize this probably isn't the right place for this, but...how do I find all of my posts, whether I started a new post or responded to someone else's post?
I have a find command button that appears to call the find and replace message box. It should be a search for anything in my query. The code behind the button looks like the find and replace message box in the office suite. I believe I am trying to create a message box where you add an entry and it searches then lauches a subform with my entries.
When I checked the button it had the following code: Private Sub cmdFind_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click
I read a few of the lookup queries but they only give me a drop down. Is there some way to customize the box comes up without altering all of Office or do I just sound lost.
