Need To Find A Direction

Sep 7, 2005

I have a Department status report that each of our department uses to determine in which order to process our cabinets. Management would like to create a form based on this report, so that it is listed in the same order where the user could click a checkbox on each job that was completed. When finished this would update our history table with the checkbox date for the related department.

Report example

JobCode Run Lot SpecialColor Completed(unbound checkbox)
GHHT A 131 Y Y
HHTY Z 13 N
FRBG F 23 Y Y

I created a datasheet form that shows this information. I added an unbound checkbox but if you check one, they all check. I want to able to select lot by lot. I guessing at that point I would need to create an update query that would update tblHistory and the correct department date with date() on the ones that were selected.

Not quite sure how to proceed with this one. The special color field makes a difference on where the date goes. For example if the Mill completes these jobs and it's a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Assembly. If it's not a special color then the date would go to tblHistory.Prefinished. The primary key between the two is DelID.

A Little Direction.....please

Oct 19, 2005

Basic user here,, I know I have seen what i am looking for on someone elses database but for the life of me I cant figure it out...

I would like for a field to open upon the click of a check box...

ie...

check box: [attrite], if I check the box I would like the field [date] to open in order for me to put a date in it. if the box is not checked the [date] field will not be seen.

is this simple? if it is code could you really explain on how to do it? Can it be done with a form or something different?

thanks for the help

A Hint In The Right Direction.... Please :)

Nov 11, 2007

We have a small business selling computer products and now we have a website to sell the products on. We have 3 main suppliers each with a few thousand products and currently I am using a macro (many infact) in excel to combine the current data files we get from each supplier into one file that gets uploaded to the website for import. However we would like to move the whole thing over to access to hopefully speed up the daily process of creating the file for upload. I get similar data from each supplier although obviously the columns arn't in the same order etc and one supplier has info that the others do not but what is the best way to set something up so that it pulls all the products in from each supplier and rearranges the data to fit what is wanted.

I haven't used access before but I have time to put into this to try and get it to work well.

A Nudge In The Right Direction Please

Nov 21, 2007

Hello,

I am new to this forum and Access databases in general, me and a colleague have been given the task of recreating our course brochure into an online searchable webpage. The web side of things I am ok with, its just the designing of the database that is causing us both endless problems.

Before I go into more detail about what it is that we need and showing the example Access database we have created so far, can I ask if I am posting this is the right section and secondly can I attach a database to a post?

Many thanks

I have a front desk entry form fro service calls. There is a entry field for customerID. I would like to auto populate f_name, l_name etc... from just entering customerID. I know what I would do in an SQL situation, but how does that transfer over to access? Any help would be great. Thanks.

New Access User Needing Direction

Aug 24, 2005

I am a novice user trying to set up a db for small business and am needing a little direction. Most of the company's sales come from the contracted work for remodeling homes; however a small amount of sales are over the counter sales within their showroom.
How do I set up the db to track the following: customer info, contract sales amount & date & payments & balance due, labor costs by employee and sub contractor, materials costs, and net profit from contracted amount vs deductions of costs?
Payments made are directly related to contracted sale and not labor or material costs; with the exception of the over the counter sales. My boss currently tracks the above info in an spreedsheet ... please advise. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Seeking Advice / Direction / Programmer

Dec 4, 2007

Hello,

Does anyone know of an off the shelf application I can purchase to allow users access to my Access database over the web? I have select data I want to allow my customers access to dynamically via the web.

I am familiar with ASP however I am not at a level to develop something from the ground up.

I have access to a Windows Server, an established database and a great desire to get this done.

My vision is to have a daily upload of my back-end (for the sake of current data)to the web server for access via the ASP front end or whatever the case may be.

I am sure to all who read this you understand what I am looking for.

I will definitely entertain hiring someone to work with me on this project if need be. Best case scenario is someone has already done the work and I can just buy it...

Thanks.

Vertical Text Direction/Orientation In CrossTab Query

Jan 7, 2007

I am fairly new to developing with Access.

I would really value some advice on changing text direction in crosstab query column labels.

I have just created a crosstab query to function as a training matrix. It has rather long column labels (there are good practical reasons for this), which makes the query very wide and difficult to print one one page.

Is there a way to change the text direction of the column headings so they are printed running up the page?

I know how to change text direction in Word or Excel, but not Access.

At the moment I am copying the query results into Excel and manipulating the text direction in Excel, but this is rather cumbersome.

Thanks in anticipation of any help. :cool:

Forms :: Custom Bar Chart Using Rectangles - Control Height Change Direction

Feb 10, 2014

I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:

Code:

Dim PctBZ As Double
Dim PctBA As Double
Dim PctKI As Double
Dim PctMA As Double
PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)

[Code] ....

It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.

Queries :: Find A Way For Access To Find Unique Dates And Unique Names?

Aug 1, 2014

I have been working on a simple data base for some time now (beginner level) and am still trying to improve it. I would like to do something but before that I would like to have your opinion to know if it is even possible?I have a query QryMainReport:

Start Date/Time
End Date/Time
Employee

At the moment this is what the format of my report looks like (I removed other unnecessary fields):

StartTime----------EndTime---------------Employee
12/06/2014 01:00--12/06/2014 03:00------John Smith
12/06/2014 04:00--12/06/2014 06:00------Jane Doe
13/06/2014 02:00--13/06/2014 05:00------John Smith
13/06/2014 08:00--13/06/2014 08:00------Jane Doe

I would like to do as a report. (Dates would always be from Sunday to Saturday). I am not sure it is possible to do that. I suppose first it would mean:I would have to do a query to separate the times from the dates?I would have to find a way for Access to find the unique dates and unique names?Does it mean I have to use cross tab queries?

A Word Find Can't Find

May 23, 2005

A customer's name is SZEE. Seek him through the SName textbox with Find, and Access can't find him. (Same in the table.) Seek him with a wildcard Sz* and there he is.

I've tried it on another machine - also with Access2k - and it's the same.

Is it an Access quirk? Is there an answer? (The client asks why. Be good to be able to say.) Cheers.

Find Box

Apr 6, 2005

Hey everyone,

Im creating a database for college using MS access 2003.

I have 3 table that contain data and i am building form to allow a user to search for a particular customer. The customer ID in my customer table is an auto number.

I have a button on my form and it shows the find and replace box when pressed which is what i want but i then want it so that when a user types a customer ID number in to that find and replace box and it is an exact match for the find and replace box to auto close else show an Error message and allow the user to input another customer number,

Im sure there is macro code to do this so im asking if anyone knows or has any better ideas?

Thanks for your time

Using Find Of ADO

Sep 19, 2004

Hello Expert,



I have attempted for two days to following codes. I am still unable to get the way out. Would you give me a help?



The field fund_cd is a combo box of transaction table to look up reference table called fund_type. Here is the structure of fund_type:



fund_cd text 3

fund_desc text 50

fund_currency text 5



My needs are to pull both values of fund_cd and fund_currency to transaction table, so 1 combo box cannot meet my needs. As such, I write following codes to base on selected fund_cd to find appropriate value of fund_currency in fund_type.



From the code below, I meet the run-time error ‘3001’ and I am not sure can I finally get fund_currency using method of GetString.



Dim strSQL As String

Dim strccy As String



Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset

Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset



rst.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection

rst.CursorType = adOpenStatic

rst.Open "Select * from fund_type"



strSQL = "fund_cd = " & Me.fund_cd

rst.MoveFirst



rst.Find strSQL, 0, adSearchForward



strccy = rst.GetString(adClipString)



Thanks very much!

Find Command

Mar 7, 2006

I have a find command button that appears to call the find and replace message box. It should be a search for anything in my query. The code behind the button looks like the find and replace message box in the office suite. I believe I am trying to create a message box where you add an entry and it searches then lauches a subform with my entries.

When I checked the button it had the following code:
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click

Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 10, , acMenuVer70

Exit_cmdFind_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdFind_Click

End Sub

I read a few of the lookup queries but they only give me a drop down. Is there some way to customize the box comes up without altering all of Office or do I just sound lost.

Can't Find My Access DB!

Jun 1, 2006

Ok, so I made a registration website with FrontPage and published it. The registration page has several text boxes and a submit button. I was testing it out and entered a few dummy names. The conformation page popped up and said everything was ok. So I'm assuming the data successfully uploaded into the Access DB that I linked it to while in development.

My problem is when I go to the folder where the DB resides there so no data in the tables. I'm thinking that maybe when the website gets published a copy of the DB is moved somewhere and I'm looking in the wrong place? This is the first time I have made a webpage or used FrontPage so please excuse my ignorance, hehe.
