Anyone know a good site w/ help creating charts in Access 2k? I have a few queries id like to display as charts but just playing w/ the chart feature is getting more confusing by the minute. Any tutorial would be great. TIA!
View RepliesI have this database where I track how long an employee has been with the company. I need to make a chart to show this data. I've got a field that calculates how many days the employee is/was with the company. I now need to group them into categories:
Less than 7 days
Less than 1 month
Less than 3 months
Less than 6 months
Less than 1 year
1 - 2 years
2 - 5 years
5 - 10 years
10+ years
Question is...since charts seem to need to pull from only one source how the heck can I the counts for each of those criteria above into one query or table. I've got them all in separate queries right now because I can't figure out if there's any other way.
Wasen't sure whether this is a Reporting thing or a Querie thing as it resides inbetween the two.
Basically (and believe me I thought this would be pretty straight forward!!!!), I am trying to create a chart from a query that returns the occurences of concerns raised each month for a year. The query returns the following:
MthTextExpr1
Jan0
Feb0
Mar0
Apr1
May0
Jun0
Jul1
Aug1
Sep2
Oct1
Nov0
Dec0
In order that the user can specify a year that the chart will be applicable to, there is a field within the query that relies on the input of a year on an unbound text box on a form: [Forms]![frm_concern_frtpage]![Enter Year] is inputted into the critera box of this field.
However, if you try to create the chart it does not like this and just gives the following two error messages. If you enter a value into this text box and run the report containing the chart, it just gives a blank chart!!!!
Why is this error occuring?
I just want months along the X axis and the values from the Expr 1 column to be displayed on the Y axis!
I have browsed a few forums and am still having trouble creating a pie chart that has the proper layout that I would prefer.
I have created a query that will list the data I would like to organize into a pie chart. The query, when run, will prompt the user for a start date and an end date and then display the data in this form:
EmployeeX | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
EmployeeY | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
OK, now that I have the data in this format I would like to create a report that includes tabs for each employee, each tab will have a pie chart that has one employee and a pie chart showing how their hours are allocated to each task. e.g. tab 1 would have Employee X and the pie chart would show what percentage of this employee's hours was dedicated to project/demo/admin/etc...
I have created a report using a query. Further to this, I have added some fields from the query into the report which calculates the sum of records and the count of records.
My problem here is, using the chart wizard, I am only able to select the fields existing in a 'Table' or a 'Query'.
Can anywone help me to create a Bar chart / Pie chart using the fields in the report? :confused:
I am working in Access 2010, trying to create a report with a pie chart. The pie chart is based on a query (called Count Pie) that calculates three values:
% IS
% NetInf
% IS + NetInf
I go into Create, Report Design and get a blank report in Design View. I select Chart from the Controls tab and follow the Wizard to specify the data source.
I get a pie chart with the right title (Count Pie). I double-click on the chart to open the report Datasheet and insert the correct value names. My pie chart in Design View looks correct. It has the right title and legend, and shows three slices of the pie corresponding to the three values.
I save the report, and go to Print Preview, where I get a pie chart that looks like a single circle; it has no legend, and doesn't show the three values.
Do I need to have the Access 2010 application re-installed?
I've written this code in Access to create a pivot chart in Excel. All the code listed is good except for the last line. The last line creates another instance of Excel. I can't figure out what the correct syntax is.
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = True
Set wb1 = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:chi estpivot.xlsx"
wb1.Sheets.Add
wb1.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
[code]....
I am having trouble creating a chart within a report. Let me start off by explaing my report.
I have many unbound textboxes on my report that all have the code very similar to this:
" =Count(IIf([Complaints Table]![Month]=1,IIf([Complaints Table]![Decision - Our Favour? (Y/N)]="Y",0))) "
This basically gives a count of for a specific month. There are twelve rows of text boxes and two columns. There is a query applied to the report to input the year, as this is a yearly report.
What I want to do is link a chart to each and every text box to show the data in an easy to view format. But I can't seem to figure it out, and I've had no luck on the web .
I am editing a database that provides the option of creating custom reports, where the user can input a date range of their choice and receive aggregate data for that time frame. Although all of the numbers in the report are correct, I am having trouble with a chart that I inserted into the report.
Specifically, if the date range requested spans 2 calendar years (i.e. April 2014 through January 2015), the data for January 2015 appears at the beginning of the year (so the chart x-axis is for Jan through Dec, and the Jan 2015 data is showing up in Jan (as if it was 2014, not the end of the given range in 2015). When I try with smaller time frames within a calendar year, it adjusts just fine (i.e. shrinking the window so just March-May is displayed on the graph).
How to adjust the axis so that it properly records the data range- so that it would start the axis with April and end in January, for example?
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a chart in a form, this is not a problem, however, the chart types available are a bit limited compared to if i inserted a Microsoft Excel Chart object.
I'd do that except I'm trying to create a chart based on a query.
Is there a way to make the chart wizard use the Microsoft Excel Chart object as its chart creator so I have access to the chart types available in that object?
any assistance much appreciated.
thanks all.
regards
keji
I have a form with a chart , 2 textboxes for start date and end date and a button to filter the data( filter the data by date range) How do i continue from that? The chart isnt updating.

Does anyone knows a good VBA for Access tutorial or documentation i can download so i learn how to write the Event Procedures in MS Access?
Thank you for your help.
I have been selected to do a project by my department head. It involves programming an Access database to do various things. It has to have forms and all that good stuff. I'm trying to get the higher powers to get a web server for me to do this as a web application, but I may need to fall back on the Access idea. So I need a good tutorial on programming in an Access environment. I know it uses VB and I am pretty decent when it comes to programming with that language. What I need help with is how to do certain things like close a form using an onclick event or to print a report. There's a lot I need to be able to relearn so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it much. I'm doing this for a Commander in the US Navy...(several ranks above me )...so I need to be able to pull this off!!
Thanks much,

Hi All
I have just spent 30-40 minutes reading through this forum. So many solutions. Excellent. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif
Smile I am just starting Access and I want to find a course where there are exercises which will take me to a reasonably proficient level.
If anyone has done come across a book CD or online that they would recommend then I’d be most appreciative.
All the Best

Hi
I am new to Access and would like to learn by taking on small projects.
Does any body know any good tutorials for beginners that could show how to start a database for a list of customers or something similar?
I have looked at the ones that can be created with the Wizards but obviously this doesn't help you understand the mechanics.
I would like to learn the 'nuts and bolts' so that I can expand the database and create new ones the more advanced I become.
Any good suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sorry, couldn't let the world go without these instructional videos. It's not much, but it's a good place for beginners to start:
Access Instructional Videos
This might be a good sticky
Now I have been working for a few months with ACCESS but one thing that keeps giving me trouble and that is the "Expression Builder". I look at the Microsoft Help and it is not good in explaining this part of ACCESS. I have Access books and they are not good with explaining this aspect of Acess. Is there anyone with a good source to point me in the direction to learning the Expression Builder better then I know now?

I have been searching online for the past couple of days for a thorough tutorial that aids the user to make his/her own detailed database based on example data (that does not necessarily have to be adhered to) supplied as the tutorial progresses.
As a student participating in an advanced computing class, I feel that this would benefit me as I can do as the steps ask and see how certain things are done. I am not a complete Access mug... I have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals, but stumbling accross an in-depth tutorial that details all of the standard features (tables, queries, forms etc) along with possibly some example modules would be excellent and beneficial.
All I have found so far is various snippets - "SQL basics" and "Macros: what they do and how to implement them" for example - these miss the bigger picture I am looking for. Surely a step-by-step tutorial on "Designing and working a fully-featured database from the gound up" is not that rare!
Thanks in advance for any help. :)
Hi,
I'm using Access 2000.
I currently use a form to enter my customer details. As soon as the info is entered I need to send out a "thank you for joining" letter, but I can't figure out how to print out a single field, it prints them all.
Ideally I'd like to have a button on the form so I can print it out on a template.
Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to do this, or offer any advice please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
New member here. I've searched this forum and the internet but came up dry and sure could use some guidance.
There are plenty of references to being able to use Access 2003 VBA to open a separate program (in this case it will be Internet Explorer 6.0) and scrape data from the window, importing it into a table. But all of the references only mention that it can be done, not how to do it. Apparently, it is such a common thing that pretty much everyone except me already knows how to do it.
Can anyone please point me toward a tutorial that walks step-by-step through the process of using VBA to open IE and extract data? If there isn't an online tutorial, maybe someone has an example I could use to figure it out.
Any and all help is appareciated.
Thanks,
DiverGuy
I am new to Access and not a sophisticated user of computers. I've been given the task of redesigning some forms on an existing data base. I understand how to put the new fields I'm adding into the table associated with the forms I'm working on, but I've having a hard time actually moving stuff around the screen and getting it lined up.
Is there an online tutorial or reference I can go to that will teach me the layout basics?
Hi,
I have some basic VBA and ADO recordset exposure, and would like to create a form, that:
- allows a user to search 4-5 fields (client & business name based information)
- return options of records to view that match that data
- allow user to make a selection, which then provides another form with full details of that client's record(about 20 fields)
Can anyone provide an example or perhaps guidance on a good tutorial, that will take me through this process gently (and help me understand the process)!
Regards and thanks

I am very new to ASP and Access. I need to learn how to create a database full of images and text to feed dozens of webpages for a new site I am doing. I have googled many times and can't really find what I am looking for. I've come across ADO several times. Is this similar to what I am looking for? Thanks.

I am a beginner at best with Access. (I'm using Access 2003) I have a small in home business as a second job making silk flower arrangements. I am now to the point that I need to track my inventory, quantity used, COGS, etc. Most of my arrangements are in gift shops on consignment.
In lieu of buying Quickbooks Manufacturing ($$$), I want to start tracking everything with Access so I can at least get some nice reports at tax time.
The problem I am having is I cannot translate the tutorials that Microsoft supplies to this application, they only cover setting up basic tables. (ie: in a retail/inventory application - do I set up 1 table, 1 table & subtable, 2 tables????)
I set up a table so far with 4 basic inventory fields:
Item description (record includes: flower, vase, foam, etc) / Color / Qty on Hand / Cost. Then (on the same table) finished goods fields of: Qty Used / Arrangement # / Qty Left / Sold for. While trying to figure out how I am going to track how much each arrangement cost, I'm not sure this set up will work.
I probably went into too much detail for my question, but I wanted to give some kind of background. Is there a CD/Book/Tutorial that specifically guides one through setting up a retail/inventory table?
Sorry so wordy.

I was using this form tutorial to password protect my administrative tools. When I went to run it I received this:
"User defined type not defined" and the line Dim rs As DAO.Recordset was highlighted.
I have little experience with VB and I was wondering if someone here had any idea if it was their code that was wrong, or if it was something I did...
