I have built a few Access DBs and am looking to improve my development skills and attemt to migrate my Access DB to SQL Azure. I find access to be a very powerful development environment to build rapid applications . How to use multiple monitors so that I can display different forms on each monitor from a single Access DB.
View RepliesI just change from a 1024x768 monitor to a 1600x1200. Now my database is squished due to the smaller pixel size and it is uncomfortably small. How can I adjust the DB to "fit" the new display, or any other monitor resolution setting.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a form of data base which is being shared by 3-4 persons. The problem being observed is, in Laptop it shows the complete form on screen but in PC of 14" monitor, we have to adjust the seek bar to view the form up/down.
Can there be any solution to automatically fit the form size to monitor size?
I have created some forms on a 15" wide screen monitor. When I look at these forms on a 19" monitor the forms are out of position.
How do I solve this
I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I have the need to display the return of my "Sum Query" to display in a text box.
I need the attached below value (40500) in the "SumofQuery" attachment, which updates every 5 minutes to display on the "StatusBoard" attachment text box.
I have been searching for a good 10 hours on how to do this and still cannot find it.
My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.
Currently we track areas of non-conformance for a fleet of flight simulators. Each flight simulator has a particular ID number. In some instance an area of non-conformance is associated with a single simulator, at other times it is a fleet wide issue and applies to all or some simulators. In order to track as well as advise leadership and the contractor responsible for maintenance of the simulators of the situation we generate individual response letters.
In order to track each instance of non-conformance my idea was to create a new record for each deficiency. In the event that it is applicable to multiple simulators I would like to fill out the form with all pertinent data and then place a checkbox associated with each simulator and when the record is saved, it creates one record for each simulator with a checkbox ticked.
Once the deficiency on each simulator is fixed, I would check a box for a field called rescinded, which would remove that particular deficiency on that particular simulator from the active list of deficiencies but the others would still remain because they are associated with unique records.
Is there a way to make a form that will display all records based on a single date, at the same time, in the same format each and every time?I have a table which has the following fields:
ID (Autonumber, PK)
ServiceDate
RunningNumber
BonnetNumber
Deallocate (yes/no)
Now, I would quite like to keep the form in a style similar to all the others I have, not least as I have to cater for users of all age and abilities, so keeping things as simple. I have attached an image - each row to represent a record basically, I would like the form to open and show the same layout on each day (I would place the textboxes etc in route groups); a null value would not be allowed for at least one field in each record, I could force the records to populate the form in the same way each day?
Is it possible in Access 2010 to change the theme for a single form? I do not want the theme for all my other forms to change, but only for 1 specific one.

Hello friends,I have a pretty noobish question. I was wondering if it was possible to have several (3 in my case) different forms that apply data to a single table? The main table has three different types of data: 1. Client info 2. Services A 3.Services B. Each type of data has about 7/50/12 different fields of data in each set so that trying to include all this data on a single form is not very user friendly due to clutter.I have three forms that input data into the table, however the record navigation command buttons that I have on the forms do not apply the data to the correct record. For instance, when I input the Client info for client #2, and click the "open services A form" command button, the form opens on client #1 Services A instead of to a new record. Is this something I have done wrong, or is it due more to MS Access limitations? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an access db to monitor my expenses for my new Snack house.
I have created a "Main" table which will be holding all the daily expenses entries one the fields is called "Type" in which i formatted as combo box with the following values (vegetables , butchery , bakery).
Another field is called "Item" which should list the items based on the Type selection.
Knowing i have a second table in which i stored all types and their corresponding items , how can i force the filed "item" in table Main to simply display the ones i need based on the "Type" input.
I have some patient data which outputs from another system generates 2 CSV files, for example (John Doe Ankle) and (John Doe Calf). Where Angle and Calf are the part of the body and John Doe the patient name.
Here is the exact output side by side of both of these files: [URL] ....
The CSV file generated contains the field names in column A and I have to pull both of these into a single table OR maybe it should be two tables in Access and then join them (only problem is that there isnt any unique keys in the raw data to tie them together).
Ideally, Id love to have a Macro on a form in Access that runs this process into the table, then allows this data to be merged to a single report containing all of this data.
Hi, thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I've got a table that has
Date
Time
Tag ID
Power Level
throughout the day a computer listens to several tags (transmitters) and records the power level of the signal generated by the tag each 3 seconds. What I'd like to do is build a query that gives the Date, Time and Maximum Power level reading for each tag ID. I only want 1 record per tag per day
I've tried using "group by" and max in the query but this gives me all the times throughout the day.
anyway, thanks again for looking
cheers, Shaun
Hello,
I have some data in excel which I am importing it into MS Access 2002. Each excel file (one worksheet per file) is imported into separate tables.
I want to combine all my imported tables into one table. Is that possible, if yes then how and if no then what can be done to get single table after impoting data from various excel files.
Cheers,
Mandeep
My goal in Excel was to combine them all into a single Pivot Table which I did. The issue is everytime I add a sheet I need to redo the Pivot Table, which would be a hassle as I will continually be adding sheets. I'm hoping that there is an easier way this could be done using Access. The individual sheets are emailed to me and then I put them into one Excel file, is there a way to take that Excel file with all the sheets and import it to Access and be able to sort the data as I would with a Pivot Table in Excel?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table in which there are approximately 15k records. The name field has approximately 2500 unique values. I need to search the table for multiple names and return the results from the table. This would then be used as a report. Due to the users being very novice, a form is needed for the search.
Example:
Search for Smith, John; Wilson, Bill; Jones, Jeff
Return
Name Year Brand Make
Smith, John 1999 Oldsmobile 88
Smith, John 2001 Chrysler 300s
Wilson, Bill 1994 Porsche Carrera
Wilson, Bill 2007 Kia Sporty
Jones, Jeff 2004 Chevrolet Camaro

My knowledge of forms is basic, however, I can be a quick learner if on the right track.
For example if I open up the Access database on my left monitor, then move it to my right - whenever I switch from design to form mode the form disappears. Moving Access back over to the left monitor will not show the form. Minimizing all windows except Access won't show it either. If I switch to layout view, then form view it will show on the monitor I have Access up on - but if I go back to Design and then form it will disappear again.
If I move Access to the left monitor (in this example). open the form in design and then form view it pops up visible. Seems clear that it ties the opening position of the popup to the monitor Access was opened on.
Sorry for the newbie question but...
I've got a form called 'frmStudent' which is linked to 'tblStudent'. I have designed it as a tabbed form, the first tab has "Student name", "Student Number", etc. The second tab is linked to visits by the student to a mentor (such as a tutor etc). Here I'd like to have "Date of visit", "Mentor Name", etc.
So far I've been able to get the first tab to work (I'm guessing because it's linked to 'tblStudent'), but can't get my 2nd tab to work as I have no clue on how to link it with 'tblVisits'. Is there a VBA methor or perhaps a nother method to do this?
I'm attaching a link to the sample of what I'm doing (please shift-open into frmStudent to view what I'm talking about). Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to display specific Query's in a single subform dependant on a combobox selection? If so how wud i go about doing this?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanx
Access 2003
I have a rather complex form with an ODBC connection to data that takes some time to load.
The Form has a continuous subform I am using in place of a listbox to select records (I need more functionality than a listbox)
The Form's Record Source is a query
When the form opens, I does so in pieces as it populates
I'd like to either keep the form hidden until it completely loads
I'm developing a simple sporting records db. I have a 'Competitor' table listing competitors as follows: CompetitorPK, Name, Division, Club. I have a 'Contest' table listing contests as follows: ContestPK, Competitor1_FK, Competitor2_FK, Winner_FK, Score etc. My question is have I modelled tables correctly i.e. CompetitorPK will appear in three columns of Contest table. How do I define this relationship? What alternative is there to what I have done.I intend to use forms to populate both tables (independantly obviously).
