Hi
I have my table set up to add today's date as a "date last updated" field. this works for all new records but I need to flag instances where a user has amended any existing records, so that on a daily basis I can filter out anything new based on the "date last updated".
Any ideas how I can flag changes to existing records?
Apologies if this is a straight forward question I'm fairly new to Access
Be advised that I'm a complete novice with Access, and have used it only to view Excel files with more than 64,000 records. Any help would be appreciated.
I have an Excel file of 10,000 records entered by salesmen of possible prospects, with salesmen, prospect name, address fields. Some salespeople have entered the same prospect and address information; the only thing different in these records are the salesman name.
I know how to import the file into Access. But from this point, how do I construct a query and generate a report that shows me ONLY THE DUPLICATE RECORDS? We would like to use this report to identify the double entries and the salespeople so they can clean up the database. I know Access (I have Access 2003) can create this query, I don't have a clue on how to do it.
One hint: A post on another forum suggested " Make a group-by query (grouped on all fields except salesperson). Add a count field. Select if count >1. This should do the trick."
I'm sure this is the answer, but I don't know how to "make a group-by query", how to "add a field", etc. Like I said, I know how to import the data. That's it.
This is extremely frustrating to be this close to the answer and not know how to finish it. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have a table (Imported from Excel) with In and Out records.
Here are the problems I have:Each record has either In or Out data. I have an identifier to know which ones are In and which ones are Out
It might have some misses, either no In or no Out record for the specific work time. A worker can get in at the evening and get out at the morning of the next day. Might have more then one entrance/exit on the same date.
I want to have the record sorted so I'll have an In and Out on the same row (record) including holes for the missing ones.
I have 2 Linked forms :
frmINVOICE
frmINSURANCE
Several of the fields in frmINVOICE are supposed to be repeated in frmINSURANCE, example Field name such as [Invoice No], [Invoice Date], [Description] etc. are identical in both forms.
My problem : After update of the fields frmINVOICE, the linked record will not update in frmINSURANCE.
I have manipulated by adding the below controls/commands to the field event and/or current form of both forms but nothing works :
- DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70
- Refresh macro
- Requery
- Me.Dirty = False
Nonetheless, I noticed following outcomes :
1) if I tap between the forms twice, the field record from frmINVOICE will be updated automatically in frmINSURANCE
2) when I close and open frmINSURANCE, no change occurs
3) after I manually save frmINVOICE, then the field record from frmINVOICE will be updated in frmINSURANCE
What should I do now ?
I have a simple Select Query based on one table.
In SQL View, the query is:
Code:
SELECT SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID, SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS
FROM SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER
WHERE (((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID) Like 'Q%') AND ((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS)="H"));
So basically getting all records in the CUSTOMER_ORDER table that have ID beginning with Q and the STATUS is H (on hold).
I want to simply update these to change the STATUS to C (closed).
I converted the SELECT Query to an UPDATE Query and added a "C" in the Update To Field.
The SQL View is now:
Code:
UPDATE SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER SET SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS = "C"
WHERE (((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID) Like 'Q%') AND ((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS)="H"));
But for some reason Access is telling me that it will update 0 records. There are over 2500 records to update.
Hi,
I have a VB6 application talking to Access DB. The program was suppose to do some audit tracking but due to a bug it didn't create data in Audit table. Is there a way i can retreive data which is updated (Old values) for 2 tables.
If there is a tool/utility i can buy please let me know.
Thanks

When I add new records to the form and close the form, the tables are updated with the new records, but the new records don't show in the form (navigation).

Im wanting to give a person preset information on forms and stuff.
Apologises if the answer is out there somewhere but I have searched to no avail.
I have a number of Forms which the user can jump around from one to the next. All the forms remain open with the form they are currently viewing showing on top. If they make a change on one particular form then when they return to a previously viewed form I want to disable or hide certain certain controls etc.
I know this would be simple to do on the on open command but as previously mentioned as I am not closing the forms after they are viewed, if the user returns to a previously opened form then this is not picked up.
Soooo, basically I'm after something like
When the user moves from one form to another already opened form for the new form to immediately know that it now has the focus and for it to do something along the lines of on open.
Any help will be appreciated
Is there any function or code that would display the workgroup in which the current user belongs simular to the function "currentuser()" which displays the user logged onto the db?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have a calculated field that will result in either a whole number or a decimal. From there, I need to set up a field that identifies if the previous field is either a whole number or a decimal.I have tried several different formulas, but always seem to get an error or a query that does not return any results.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm familiar with screen.activecontrol but what I am trying to do is to activate an event relevant to the control currently triggering the mousemove event.
In the attached db, if you open the MMHighlight form and move the mouse over the boxes, as they are moved over they go yellow (mousemove event), whilst still hovering, click on a box and the first box displays the first and last boxes selected (mousedown event). release the click to trigger the mouse up event which clears the boxes. Broadly this is working as intended
The problem is the mousemove event which has to be 'personalised' for each control - highlighted in yellow
In the real application there are several hundred controls, so I'm looking for a timesaver - one option being to build a form via vba, but ideally some equivalent to screen.activecontrol and perhaps a third where I can replace [text0] with a generic name - a bit like 'Me' to refer to the form.
I have a query (A) as the data source for a report. That query (A) has a another query (B) as one of it source files.
How can I tell if query (B) has no output, so I can stop query (A) and the report attempting to run.
I have a statement as follows:
Code:
ohc: IIf(([oh]/[csqty])>1,[oh]/[case_qty] & " (LTSU?)",[oh]/[case_qty])
The intention was that it would add " (LTSU?)" to the calculated number where it was less than 1 (or not a whole number). Stupidm, me didnt account for fractions greater than 1 (ie 1.566). Just wanted to know how I can identify all 'non-whole' numbers in the above IIF statement.
I don't know if this can be done. I'm using Access 2010 and I have users updating information on a hourly basis.
Can I have a field that basically shows the last user that edited the form or saved it?
Hello
I have some data I need to clean.
It is in an address field the majority of the data is fine but there are some records with words that have been spelt with numbers:
2 9RAMBLEGATE
2 Forest V1EW
2 KEM8LE Close
2 BELLEMOT4TE Road
Is it possible using a query to find instances where this has happened so I can flag these?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two tables. One table is a list of classes with the number of enrolled students:
Class............StEnrolled
English 1A........6
English 1B........12
English 1C........20
English 1D........25
Reading 1.........4
Reading 2.........15
And the other table is a list of "combined" classes (meaning they are, essentially, the same class and should be counted as such):
Class...........CombinedWith
English 1A.......English 1B
Reading 1........Reading 2
Using the first table, I currently generate a query (and build a report) that displays class enrollment levels. What I need is for this query to identify combined sections from the second table and display them as such:
Class........................StEnrolled
English 1A/English 1B........18
English 1C.......................20
English 1D.......................25
Reading 1/Reading 2..........19
I receive a bunch of excel files with items to be added to a database. some of the items are to be added as new, some to be deleted and others to be modified.
I identify the action (add/delete/modify) by looking at a column in the excel file e.g. column A.
At this point I am fine with the add/delete because I can filter the data or bring all the files to a temporary table in an Access database via vba script and then running queries to do the rest.
My issue is that the spreadsheets have a lot of columns and for the modifications what they do is use the same file for instance, make changes on the cells (any cell) that need modification and then highlight, bold or underline only the items that need modification and ignore the rest of the file (a tedious process since I have to then open each file and manually modify the database).
Hi.. I am trying to add data to the table. Is there any way that if i add data to the table the forms associated with it get updated automatically.
It seems that when I update the form it works fine with table ,but if its the other way around it doesnt work.
Any solutions..

I have a form based on a query I built that calculates time worked. you select the worker in a combo box which I created from a query that lists all active employees and their clock no. with clock no being the bound column. The drop down shows the workers last name, first name. When I choose a worker it always gives me a warning the the "Field can not be updated" but after i hit okay it stores everything in the correct field. Why am I getting this error? I tried using just my query and it works perfectly but when I try to use my form is where i run into problems. If you need more info let me know.
Thanks, :confused:
Is there any way to make a date change to the current date/time whenever something on a report is edited? I have a "Last Updated" field but I want it to automatically update itself.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to be able to find out what record was updated and I need to then log some details to another table. If I use the Form_BeforeUpdate event to detect that the recored will be updated,
then How do I find out what record was updated.
Thanks,
