I am trying to extract some values from a PDF (attached) and write them to an Access database. I am unsure of the approach, especially extracting values from the file.
View RepliesWhere does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?
What should I do so I can use memo field in database as a memo field so I can write text in more than one row.
For example what is happening now when my user pres enter he does not go to a new row in memofield but he goes to new record.
In fact how can I get something similar to this wysiwyg type?
I wish to extract data from my access database...namely all packages we are taking to the post office for dispatch that day. The post office form looks like this...
I need to extract the name the address & postal service used (this data is all contained in our access database. I envisage using a 'flag' to trap those orders that haven't been posted yet (in other words export only those database entries that have not been flagged as posted, then afterwards update the database to change the flag to 'posted')
My dilemma is that I've not really used reports much (I'm assuming that reports is the correct way to go here)...how do you format the output of a report, when you don't know how many lines are going result (some days might see 10 order, other days 20 ...and so on)...
I have an access database and some asp-code on my computer which only works one way?
I can read from it, but not write?
...and when I put the asp-code and the database on anohter server it works fine.
..what setting do I have to do, to make it work on my computer?
I have another asp-site with a mySQL-database on my compter which works fine...but
it doesn't work with my access-database...hmm...I can only read from it.
I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.
The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.
I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.
I have a table in msaccess which i would like to use as a search term to search values in another table. What i wanted to do is search the table with attributes and save all found attributes to a new table with its primary id.
Search_Keyword_Table
Id ---- Search_keyword
1 ----- Size - S
2 ----- Size - M
3 ----- Size - L
4 ----- Size - XL
Table to be searched
Id ----- Attributes
1 ----- <select name="attribute" id="attribute"><option value="Size - M">Size - M</option><option value="Size - L">Size - L</option></select>
2 ----- <select name="attribute" id="attribute"><option value="Size - S">Size - S</option><option value="Size - M">Size - M</option><option value="Size - L">Size - L</option></select>
Saved table results
Id ---- Attributes_found

Hi there!
This is a question that you might scratch your head while reading, but what the hell... :-)
Imagine a form with 4 blank textboxes (name, input1, input2, input3). When you add the value in the textboxes, the value in the table changes as you write. Instead I only want the values in the table to be added once an "OK" button has been pressed.
When the button is pressed I want the current date written in a field called 'date' and the inputs from the 4 textboxes added to fields with the same name...
How is that done???

I am totally new to access and i want to be able to extract information from my database using a form. Basically I am using the database to generate a bill of materials. I have a product that has many different options. SO I want ot select a checkbox on a form for a particular option and hten have that extract the correct data from the DB into a report or spreadsheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have managed to get my access DB set up, get the data entry, searching and editing working perfectly (in forms)
The next stage is extracting data from these.
ie I four of the columns I have are
Date Received
Portal (drop down list of 3 choices)
User Initial (list of 4 choices)
Days of the Week (ie Monday, Tuesday etc)
I need to be able to search through the database, ie between X Date and Y Date and mark the totals from each of the sections. so the following
Date: 01/06/2014
to
Date: 13/06/2014
Portals 1 = XXXX
Portal 2 = XXXX
Portal 3 = XXXX
Total = XXXX
Then I'll need to do one for all of the above. and more.
So how can I do this? will a report do it? or a form where it searches down and displays totals?
I'm new to Access programming. I want to setup an Archiving/Storage Database which contains data of boxes with folders in it. The data would be the box number, begining folder, ending folder and box description (See Below).
[BoxNum] [FromRange] [ToRange] [BoxInfo]
123456 10000 10100 Case File
123457 10101 10954 Batch File
123458 11234 11545 Case File
I would like to setup a database that once the data is entered a user can open a form and search for a folder like 10054 by entering it in to a field like [SearchBox] and search the values between [FromRange] and [ToRange] and retrieve that boxes information 123456.
What is the best way to go about doing a 2.0 version of a database? When I wrote ours I was a newbie. Not that I am an expert now or anything but things could definately use an upgrade!!!
I need to clean up the forms, etc. Do I just dump all the tables in from the old one and start over?
I also want to completely revamp a couple of things. How would I make sure that all the purchase order numbers (auto number field) still matched?
Thanks for any ideas!
I have a database on a shared network drive. All users except the manager have only read access to the file/directory. However, if the manager tries to open the file while other users have access open, it only allows him to read it as read only. If they close the database, then he can open it with read-write. Does access use another mechanism other than ldb files for locking?The weird thing is that it seems to be locking correctly. If the manager tries to open the file while someone has it open, it's read-only.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have form "frmOrders" (Datasheet), columns: "id_order", "nameOfOrder", "worker", "term", "changes"I don't know it's possible or not.
e.g. I have in some record values like this
Id_order - 2
NameOfOrder - folder
Worker - John
term (this field is empty)
some day I will change e.g. nameOfOrder from "folder" to "business card" and term from empty to 2013-07-13. So two records was changed. After changes, record "changes" should has value like this "folder; term" - because I changed these columns.

I have a problem with write conflict error. The database is functioning normally and without any problems but on particular computer. the systems are same (windows 7) with office 2010.I have a form with subform based on query. Changing the records in a subform is without any problems, but on one particular computar, I am allways receiving Write conflict error message. When I copy / paste the database from the wrong computer to another one, everything is OK. When I copy / paste it back to problematic computer, the problem is back also.It seems, that the problem is maybe somewhere in settings of this computer.

I create a chart getting values from a query I run, it plots the values but auto selects the value range and the increment.
The values on the value axis are : 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1
Is there anyway I can get the values to increase by 0.1 rather than 0.25?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I am doing some work on my company's database. It is a MS Access 2003 front-end with an SQL back-end.
Recently, I have asked the database administrator to add some new fields to an existing table and two of them are yes/no fields. When I have tried to update these fields, it comes up with a 'Write Conflict' error message and I can only choose 'Copy to clipboard' or 'Drop changes'. But either way, my changes do not get saved.
I have found that the error occurs when I refresh the table links to add the new fields and then try to save over just the old fields and not even trying to add anything into the new fields. Two of the fields are yes/no but they have a default value of 0 and I'm not sure what is causing my error. I read that it may be due to these yes/no fields having no default values so I thought I would mention it incase anyone may have suggested that to be the reason for my error message.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Gareth.
Where I can get some better pictures for my access database. The standard ones are really not all that great. I am looking for a stock pile of pics that I can place in my files so that I can draw upon them whenever I am designing my database.
I just havent had much luck designing buttons in GIMP.
I plan on using Excel as the front-end and Access as the back-end only. (all queries and forms are in Excel). A single Access database will be queried from multiple Excel files that will be located on the share drive (Linux server). Access tables contain memo, text and number fields. Data will be sent to Access tables and records will be appended/deleted; all via Excel.
There will be multiple users interacting with a single Access database via multiple Excel files located on the shared drive. Users will be interacting from different workstations with Windows 7, all have Access 2010 and Excel 2010 installed.
This process works for me from my workstation but I am not sure what will happen when other 4 people will be sending/appending/deleting records to the same Database? How do I make this work? What settings do I need to check in Access to make this possible?
I am about to allow users to access a database I redesigned for others to use.I am trying to save it as an ACCDE so they can't mess it up. The database is very very simple.6 tables each with only 4 fields or less... and none are related to one another
7 forms.
1 report.
0 queries... it's just a SKU generator.
When I attempt to save as ACCDE I get an error that reads."Microsoft Access was unable to create the .accde, .mde, or .ade file.This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Because of the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Access database engine can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Access database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used."
I got an access database but how do i make it to be able to publish to web and allow phone browser to access and enter data as well?
