How can I build a SetFocus command on the fly? I am creating a Find form where the user can select their options. I am building the listing of options for the user to select from based on which form opened the Find form. All forms are set as Modal and PopUp so I have to set the focus to the form and field to be searched before I call the FindRecord command from the Find form. I am stuck on how to build the SetFocus statement when concatenating the pieces together for the obvious is not working.This is what normally works.
Hi all, i'm currently working a MDB project that aims to develop a front end access solution for users of the sql database. The system is used only to made adjustments to the WHERE clause of the SQL pass-through statement. The SELECT and FROM statements are pre-determined and users won't need to update this. The result is a read only. You might be wondering why i don't use ADP instead, well one of my limitations is that i won't have write access to the database. They are afraid i will corrupt data...
I want to use a series of text and combo boxes to build my WHERE statement, which will be added to the main SQL statement and then pass-through to the server, making use of its much beta processing capabilities. However as i'm trying to read up on VBA, i still have very little knowledge on how this can be done. Its actually similar to the Filter By Form option in datasheet view when i open a pass-through query. However, conditions applied through here means the processing is done on the user's computer, through testing i found this to be unreliable as it causes access to hang frequently. I would love to have this filter by form view available up front to the user before he even executes the query. As i mentioned, he keys in the criteria/conditions and access builds an sql where statement and appends it to the main SQL statement.
any idea how to do this? how do i capture user input and make access construct a WHERE statement from it For example
textbox daterange Enter range of dates in here: date 1 and date 2 the where statement would then be "WHERE date BETWEEN date1 AND date2
Or is there other more efficient alternatives? sorry i'm very new to VBA and form development, would appreciate lots of advice and answers.
I have a form in which I am trying to build a matrix scoring system.I have two fields one called Offending Consequences and one called Offending Likelihood. The first field is limited to a list 1 to 5 and the second to a list A to E. What I want to do in a field called Offending Score is a kind of grid where:
1A scores 2 and is coloured green up to 5E scores 10 and is coloured red
How do I get the Offending Score field to register the whole list of 25 possible combinations, 9 possible scores and 5 possible colours?My knowledge and understanding of access dbs is only moderate.
From a dropdown field in the form it's currently possible to choose a geographical region for which to generate a report. The data populating this dropdown is pulled in from a Value List as follows:
" ";"*";1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;EU;WD
I now need the ability to choose various different regions simultaneously which is not possible with the current method. I've looked into a nested continuous form and a multi-select combo box or list box, but none of these are as user friendly as my preferred method.
What I would like is 15 checkboxes plus a 16th to select/unselect all. When any of these checkboxes is checked, I need to create something like a dynamic value string or temporary table to hold the list of chosen regions until the generate button is clicked at which point the data is used to generate the report and cleared. I also need a piece of code to check/uncheck all the boxes.
I'm trying to build up a database for Multiple choice questions quiz in MS access 2010.My requirement are as follows
My quiz consist of 15 questions. Each questions carry some weightage. Suppose a question carries a weightage of 5 and there are two correct options like A & C. If user selects option A then he gets half marks.Multiple users can access the test at the same time.
I am trying to create a database for a cub scout pack that just keeps scouts information, medical info, parents info, and parents medical info each is a seperate table. I have created a Tab controlled form with 4 tabs. On each tab the ONLY thing I have is a subform that contains the appropriate information. Each table has it's own form with the table as it's record source. I link the scouts table to the medical table by SID which is a primary key in the Scouts table. I link the Scouts table to the Parents table with a PID which is the Primary Key in my Parents table, and I link the Parents with the ParentsMed with a PMedID, key in the ParentsMed table.
Question #1 - Using a Tab Control you can only have 1 record source. What should I use? I have tried the tblScouts and I have also created a query with every field from every table.
#2 - When I try to use the parent and child links on the subform I get the error "Can't build a link between unbound forms" but each form is bound to the table and the record source on the tab control has had a table and my qryEverything, neither work. I can type in SID but it still doesn't function properly.
Any suggestions or comments on a better relationship method or any insight on how tab controls are supposed to be setup or anything would be greatly appreciated.
How do I build a form which will pull only certain work orders from my table [Work Orders], filter it through a query, [Payroll] which gives me only those work orders which match a certain repID#, for only certain Invoice Dates, and and then display a talley of the total number of times a certain product appears in the field [ProductSold] on the query [Payroll]?
Can anybody help me build the last table in my database? I have taught myself Access – and can usually get by with a little help from this forum. I have been trying for days to try and solve this !!!
The database is designed to manage feedback questionnaires from attendees of training courses.
I have attached the relationship diagram.
- A course may run for several days. The details of the course are held in the table ‘Courses’. During a course, attendees may be asked to fill in several Questionnaires - An Attendee is a Person that attends a Course. Attendees are held in the table ‘Attendees’ and their details are held in the table ‘Person’. - There is a ‘Library’ of questions that sit in the table ‘Questions’ - The questions can be assembled into “Standard Questionnaires”. These sit in the table called “Questdesign” which is a junction table. Assembling a Standard Questionnaire involves using a form to pick questions and give them an order (Qnumber). I HAVE DONE THIS. - A specific “Questionnaire” is a “Standard Questionnaire” that is used on a specific course. The list of Questionnaires is held in the table “Questionnaire” - Scoresheet is the junction table between Attendee and Questionnaire (an Attendee on a course may fill in several Questionnaires and a Questionnaire may be filled in by lots of Attendees.)
I now need a table (Scores) in which to put all the scores to the questions (in other words, the scores of the questions on the Questionnaires that are completed by the Attendees on a Course.)
At the end of the day I am aiming to have a form in which:
The Attendee number is entered and all the person’s details are filled in automatically) – I HAVE DONE THIS The Questionnaire number is entered and all the course details are filled in automatically – I HAVE DONE THIS A Scoresheet ID is filled in (Autonumber) - I HAVE DONE THIS A subform appears which shows the right set of questions and question numbers for the appropriate Questionnaire – with a blank column so that the user can fill in the scores which get stored in the Scores Table. - I CAN'T DO THIS !!!
I cannot work out where to link my Scores table and how to build a query that drives the correct behaviour of the subform
I hope I have explained this clearly. I would be so grateful for any help. This Forum is fabulous.
I have some database with columns 'Number', 'Mfr Name' and 'Mfr Part Number'. Number - internal catalogue item of a company. Mfr Name - name of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Mfr Part Number - part number of a manufacturer where from we purchase the item Each item may have one or more Mfr Name & Mfr Part Numbers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I need to build a following query: Input gets part of Mfr Part Number and output is all Mfr Name & Mfr Part Number of match item.
I have attacked quite a few guides ( Dummies & Absolute Beginners ) on how to build a database of my gardening clients, but have run into a problem that they can't seem to resolve. Is there anyone out there who can help me with "referential integrity" and trying to link relationships between the various tables I have created.
Does anyone know how you might build sliding bar displays as an input device for scores into an Access database? I am building an application that could really use something like this.
Here is an example. First go to the 'Chelsea tab', slide the bars, submit the results, and see the results on the "Results" tab
How can I build a date in a query that is used for filtering purposes? The data is in the records in two fields - Month and Year. In our query we have an expression that builds a date - DateRange: [Month]/1/[Year] in order to qualify the record with the criteria Between FromDate and ThruDate. DateRange as it is shown here returns a date of 12/30/1899 for all records. DateRange: #[Month]/1/[Year]# is invalid syntax. DateRange: [Month] & "/" & 1 & "/" & [Year] is not recognized as a date.
Hi all, I have a field that stores software versions as text. The version numbers can be simple (4.0, 5.0) or unknown or more complicated (4.5.200512, etc). The user wants to be able view data in a pivotChart without seeing interim versions- so 4.5.200512 would not show up but its data would be counted as part of 4.5. Anybody know how I can do this? thanx
Let's say that I've got the following tables: - tblCustomers(IDCust,NameCust) - tblEmployees(IDEmpl,NameEmpl) - tblProjects(IDProj,IDCust,IDEmpl,Duration)
My query: SELECT tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl, Sum(tblProjects.Duration) AS SumOfDuration FROM (tblProjects INNER JOIN tblEmployees ON tblProjects.IDEmpl = tblEmployees.IDEmpl) INNER JOIN tblCustomers ON tblProjects.IDCust = tblCustomers.IDCust GROUP BY tblCustomers.NameCust, tblProjects.IDProj, tblProjects.Duration, tblEmployees.NameEmpl ORDER BY tblCustomers.NameCust;
Hi, I'm new to Access. I'm trying to do a very simple thing but I can't. Let's say I sell a lot of cars, every day so I need a database only to collect info about selling. I need a table (SoldCars) which need refers (read: field) to 2 other tables: 1.Constructor and 2.Model, or only to Model (because Construvctor could be redundant). Anyway, when I register a new sold car, I want a menu in which I can find a Model but not after having chosne the Constructor, so when I choose "Ferrari" then I can only find "Testarossa" and "GTO" and choose one of them. Stored field can be Model, because Constructor is implicit. But I need this tip because let's say I sell thousands of cars per day and I want it to be very quick. Please help or I'll die under piles of cars! Thanks!!!!
Using Access 2000 is it possible to specify a starting location ie (c:) and using VBA search every sub folder from this point for files ending .mdb or .xls?
I want to be able to build a table with an record showing the file name and directory for each file found.

I have been building my DB and learning everything from scratch. If anybody could give me any advice as to where I may be going astray, it would be much appreciated as I feel like I've hit a brick wall. I run a building firm and need a DB to look after customer information, write estimates, invoices and ultimately do the accounts.
I think my DB needs are very basic to start with and I'm guessing the system only needs to be fairly simple and straightforward. So far my DB has:-
•Customer form with an in-built Estimate subform - this form gives me a brief outline of the customer and how many estimates I have for him. •If you then double click on an estimate number (in the Estimate subform) this takes you to my Items form (when I create an estimate normally in Word, I have to break jobs down into their components and price each item individually, hence I made an Items table). Each item has an Item Cost. •I then run the report “Estimate” and have set up a total calculation box on the report ready to print it out for the customer.
My problem is that I would like to know how I can get the Estimate Total to appear in my Estimates Table and Estimates Subform. So far I have achieved making a crosstab query to calculate the Estimate Total (Amount) for each specific Estimate ID, but I cannot get the Total from the Crosstab Query into the Estimate Table, from which I would probably be able to get it into the Estimate Subform. I have a suspicion I need to build an expression in the Estimate Subform - but.....
Once I am over this problem I will want to turn Estimates into Invoices and have that data displayed in my Estimate Subform too, although I think I have got a good idea of how to do this, I would again be open to comments/advice if offered.

Hello!I have a table, with quantities in a field that I need to split in batches of 25, to build a new table. Example:object price qtyblah1 1.00 144blah2 2.00 76My results need to look like this:object price qtyblah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 25.00 25blah1 19.00 19 (5x25+19=144)blah2 50.00 25blah2 50.00 25blah2 50.00 25blah2 2.00 1 (3x25+1=76)I've been able to build a new table based on these values of 25 etc using MOD, but it's making columns. How can I build a new table and make new RECORDS using MODULUS (or another?) technique instead?? I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone can help.Cheers
