I am a modular housing sales consultant and I am trying to setup a work order database in access. This database would allow me to spec out a modular home for a prospective customer/client as they provide me with all of their home options (floors, exterior, doors & windows, interior, appliances, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.) and then print out an invoice with an estimated total.
I am currently using an excel spreadsheet and it is very cumbersome to use. I use it as an invoice and the invoice contains the following information on it.
Bill to:
Dealer Name
Dealer Rep
Phone, Fax, Cell
Ship to:
Customer Name
Customer Address
Phone, Fax, Cell
Home Options:
Floors:
Joist: (Structure Wood 2X8 Joist, Structure Wood 2X10 Joist, Plywood 2X10 Joist)
Carpet: (Cappuchinno, Biscuit, Pebble, Summer Straw, Praline, Herringbone, Cashew, Buckskin, Shale, Botanical, Cordovan, Stone, Cascade, Black Ice)
Vinyl Flooring: (Woodgrain #05296, Square Tile #57296, Mosaic #55296, Tan Stone #08296, Large Square Tile #07296)
There are other options but this is just a brief listing of options as an example.
Each option would have a price attached, and selected price would be added to the invoice, and once work order is completed, the invoice would have options totalled. Ready for the customer and dealer to confirm and approve.
Can someone start me in the right direction on getting the tables setup for this - the one that I seem to be having the most difficulty with is how to setup the options for this invoice. I pretty well have a grasp on the others. I might also need help in relating the tables to one another.
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help. I'm in the planning stages of creating a order manager in access for multiple ecommerce sites.
Database will store data on Customers, Inventory, Invoices, Returns, Shipments, Credits, Quotes etc for all sites, and also custom reports. And the idea is to have the database generate the ecommerce sites automatically as static html, which can be uploaded. As the orders come in they will be stored online, and then periodically downloaded into the database.
The reason is we currently have 3 sites running and managing inventory and stock control is the hardest, as currently there are 3 databases controling stock! Also when a customer telephones its difficult to know which site they have ordered from which is unprofessional, and we have to log into every site just to find their order.
Future ideas:- Meaning we are going to setup more sites which will obivously make the situation worse. We also want to branch out in into eBay using the eBay API to download transactions and sales, and will therefore need a place to store the data.
Can anyone foresee any problems with such a system? Any ideas or examples?
I am trying to design and build an orders management database for a clothing wholesaler.
Has anyone got any ideas on what entities i should have.
I thought:
Clients (Customer Details) Orders (Inc. order date, ship via etc) Order Details (sizes, quantity of orders per size) Product Details (Product Code, colour, size, stock numbers per size) Catergories (Shorts, Jackets, Jeans etc) Suppliers (Supplier Information) Delivery (Delivery Method etc)
However, loads of problems when i come to planning the sizes part. I have different product catergories with different sizes
And when i do the order details table, i need to enter order quantities for each different size for one clothing unit.
Any ideas?
I would also ideally want to link the order details and products tables by the product code number. I.e. When filling out an order In the order details table i want to type in the product code then have information from the product table automatcially fill in the gaps in the order details table, such as unit price, colour etc.
I have an order database Access 2000 for an inspection company, tblInspectors, tblOrders, tblCustomers, I want to be able to calculate inspector pay within order database. Each inspector is an independent contractor, so it just needs to calculate percentage, for each inspection performed and total for pay period. Each inspector is paid a different percentage, which is stored in tblInspectors. Payroll is paid every two weeks . . . I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this ... :confused: Any advise be greatly appreciated.:confused:
I have been trying to figure this out for ages but I cant seem to get the code right or find any info on it.
In my database i have a mail merge on a button click which creates a new merged word document. I then need a way of when the user saves the document in word, bringing back the file path and putting it in a table called tblHistory with the correct customer ID in there too.
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.
I've got a mail merge letter in word using a booking system which I've built in Access, and I want to be able to access the mail merge letter (or the letter template) through that switchboard. Is this through running a certain macro, and if so, can anybody tell me what it is?
In access database, Is there anyone know how use macro to open a word document on a share drive..(example S:safetyRegulation.doc)?.
Here is what I did and it doesn't work.. Runapp command line: C:Program FilesMicrosoftOfficeOfficeWINWORD.EXE //S:safetyRegulation.doc. Is there any easier way to do this? Please advice..thanks Rob..
I am using an Access 2003 database to create a Word report that contains Graphs. We have since moved to Office 2010, and now the vba code will not select the graph and populate the data, i presume this is because the data is no longer in a datasheet but Excel itself.
I have 2 databases Product, with 3 entries ProdID, ProdName and UnitCost. 2nd database Order has Order ID, ProdName, UnitCost, Quantity, SaleDate and Total.

Can anyone hsuggest how best to do this.
I have been asked to create a database that creates orders, debits stock etc for my company. Now I have been asked to put in some kind of discount table with percentages for each individual item for each individual customer. What would the best way of doing this?
I figured in the Customer Table I would have a code such as 'CustomerADiscount' and 'CustomerBDiscount' etc. and then in my table maybe
Product A - CustomerADiscount - 10% Product A - CustomerBDiscount - 20%
Product B - CustomerADiscount - 5% Product B - CustomerBDiscount - 7%
This link these values up within a query? Would this be the best way of doing it?
Is Access able to determine a percentage in "10%" or "5%" or do I need some type of formula for it instead?
My question is simple: I've got a database of my book collection. If i view it in a style sheet, it is something like
Author Title etc.
A 0 C 1 B 3 F 2 D 5 D 4 A 8 F 9
I would like to order the Author and Title columns (permanently). Particularly, I would like to order in alphabetical order all the authors and, if I've got the same author, order his/her book alphabetically, something like:
Is it possible to direct the placement/order new of fields when modifying an Ms Access database in code?
I need to modify the schema of an MS Access database via code - but I want to be able to direct the order or placement of the fields within the tables.
For example - if TableOne has 3 fields - Field10, Field20 and Field30.
I would like to be able to add say Field15 between Field10 and Field20 - not just append it to the end of existing fields.
I believe it is possible as you can do it within Ms Access itself. I can use ADO, DAO, ADOX or SQL for that matter - but it seems all of these offer no placement of the field within the table.
How to match 4 character word or number or combination by identical 4 characters word or number or combination in one word have 10 or 15 characters.
I have to two separate tables (Table A and Table B). Table A has one column (Tag No) and Table B has about 15 columns with one column name Tag No as below

They're both in MS Access.I am trying to match 2 tables - columns (Tag No) with join query, but not success. I want to match 4 characters in Table-A with 4 similar characters in Table-B (Tag No) cell.What query is suitable to compare two tables.
My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code: Dim wDoc As Word.Document Dim wTable As Word.Table Dim wCell As Word.Cell Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc) wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.
I know it's possible to use Access to create a Word document and think it's possible to have a button (or combobox) open a Word document saved on the hard drive. If I'm correct with the second belief, the Word file(s) would need to be moved with the Access database if it's moved to another directory or PC.
Is it possible to save the Word (or other) files within the database itself so simply moving the database to another directory or PC would take the "embedded" files with it? I realise that the database file size will increase, but suspect that this increase would be similar to the size of the individual Word files.
I am exporting a table to word and I have come across a problem. My code opens a template, creates a table with the correct number of rows and columns at a certain position, and then adds data to it. At this point, everything is fine. But, here is where the problem sticks its ugly head out. I am modifying the column widths and every other time I run it, it crashes, saying something about not being able to access the remote server. Run time error 462. I have checked in the task manager that word is being quit properly each time and tried going to different templates. The first time I run it, it runs fine. The second time, it crashes on the line where I change the width. Here is the line of code.
mytable.Columns(1).Width = InchesToPoints(1.2)
I have found that if I close the document after it is created and leave word open, it will run fine. I think I am in the same boat as mrpauly. But his post date is 23rd April 2001… http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=26363
Has anyone else seen or heard anything like this? I’m really confused… Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Hello, I made a database application and i need some help: in the application i use a script that modifies word documents by opening ms word application, but some customers don't want to install ms word. I'm asking if someone knows tto exist some kind of word runtime that i can modify word documents without having word installed. I'm using also vb6.
I have a startup form with three buttons. All three buttons have Tab Stop set to No. However, when I open the form, there is a highlighted box around what would have been the first button set in the tab order had Tab Stop been set to Yes. Is there a way to not display the light green box around the text in the button?
My tab order is the way I want it and when the user enters after the last field on the form, they get a new record. Problem is, the cursor is putting them in the last field on the form instead of the first one. I don't get it. The first field is first on the tab order list. Help.
Exporting datasheet to word, how is this possible using vb. Actually, I do have a thread in Form forum. But, I think not a lot of people visit that place. Anyways, I have created bookmarked and used datavariable to export the data (by ansentry's help). But the only thing that it exports is just one selection on that datasheet, instead of all the chosen rows.
I am exhausted now after searching everywhere, and not finding a clue. How to resolve that situation. If there is an example that I can use, that would be gr8.
Right the thing is i can export my reports to word but when they export they don't hold the lines that i placed around the text boxes, this is becoming quite annoying as the reason i put the lines around the boxes,was so when the report is output it looks like the original.
