I'm stuck and have no Idea how to start this, help would be nice
Here is what I am trying to accomplish, I have a Form that I input infromation into several fields (Including the Key field) that will create a new record in my table, Then I click a button on the form and it clears most of the data from the fields and allows me to create a second new record.
What I also want to see is a subform that shows all the new records that were created only while the form was open. Once the form is closed the subform is reset. If I open the form again, the subform will be blank and start listing only the new records i create in that session.
Is this possible? How do I even start this?
Thanks for your help. Please keep in mind this is only the second db i have created and I am not that great at writing code.
I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg: keywords: look billy magic
list: "have a look and see" "spanish dave" "who is billy brag" "looky looky I go hooky" "who's the man from argentina" "could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column: =COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13)) where "list" is the external data.
I have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.
I have a table with records Name1, Name2, through Name6 I need to have a query or something that will join all theese records under one list. :confused:
Ok, I'm sorry if this is somewhere else in the forum, but I can't seem to locate it. Here's my task:
I am writing an attendance program for an Ambulance Company, and I actually have a large chunk of it done. I have a text box for the date and a combo box for the type of activity. I have two side-by-side list boxes that lets the officers select peoples names and put them in the right side list box. The part that I need help with is: How do I add new records to the table that includes each of the members names, but all the same dates and activities.
Ex.:
John Smith 5/10/05 Meeting Jane Smith 5/10/05 Meeting Tom Jones 5/10/05 Meeting
I think that i need to write a loop, but my access programming is way out of shape. Any help would be appreciated, ladies and gentlemen
(Been a while since I had a question.) I have a table that stores a list of paper forms. the fields are ID#, display name, doccument name, and a code to determine if its a Word or Excel doccument, or an access report. Works fine; the user can click a form name (on the Forms/Reports tab on the main menu form) in a list box, set the # of copies and print the form. There are cases when a group of forms is needed (client admission is one). I have made a group table containing: GrpID, Grp Name, formID. I would like my "Form Group Edit" form to have 2 list boxes; the left one containing the (short) list of available forms; the right one displaying what forms are already (if any) in the selected form group. My idea is to have add/remove controls to manage the right list. I know this "wheel" is already invented and would like to plagerize one that works. Thanks in advance for your help.
If i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.
I have an unbound listbox and some unbound text boxes.I am attempting to create code that will fill in the text boxes depending on which record I select within the list box.The listbox does not have multi select on, only single select is possible.I found listBox.Value which gives me the primary key which is nice, its something.
I have attempted several ways of things I have found online with no luck on how to get the remaining information into the other text boxes.I have seen a for loop to find the one that is selected then using the listboxControl.Column(intColumn,intRow) but I obviously don't understand how to implement it.The other option is to use a query but I am apparently doing that incorrect as well.The query:
Code: "SELECT [Student].[firstName] WHERE [Student].[SSID] = studentList.Value;" I think this is the correct query but I cant seem to implement it either.
I know you don't want people saying "tell me how to do it." So if you have any resources I am good reading up further on it, I just cant find a place that I can get the required info.
I just have a question on making an interface for my database.Some sample databases and office templates have in them, a list of the names of all the records embedded directly on a form, where you can navigate from one record being displayed to another.
An example is in the contacts database template that you can get from Microsoft. It features, on the left, a list of the names of all the people in your database, alphabetically. So, all you have to do is click on John Smith, and bam, John's information will appear in the fields on the right side of the form. If you want to move to Claire Jones, all you have to do is click her name and her information will appear in the fields on the right.
Hello all. I am new here. I am making a database involving some countries. What I would like to know is:
How could I list the records present in a table and then count how often they appear. For example:
http://i11.tinypic.com/4lp849e.png
I may just have to list the records of Top 20 column to see what records appear in the table, but how do I count them? Say, for Peru, it appears in all the columns...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would not like to manually type in the records to count them, but rather use the list and for each record in that list, count how many times that record in present in that table.
i have a database where jobs are entered and the date and times of the jobs are kept in separate Date and Time fields. to enter a date the user uses this method "30 12 05" and to enter a time like this "21.30"
i would like a query that will display the 10 most recent job additions according to their respective date and times. however, it will not be enough simply to view these records in a report.. what would be ideal is if the 10 records are opened.. in their original form format (goto next record...previous...(1/10...5/10) and the fields are editable like in the default job entry form. this is because after a job record has been added, maybe 20 or so minutes later, that record would need to be retreived as the last bits of information for that record will have been established.
how can this be acheived. i am clueless at the moment, so if there is a solution even resembling this scenario that would be ideal. (if a filter is going to be used...it can be either the 'date' or the 'time' fields, ideally though the query would use a combination of the two to retreive a more exact date to filter the records by)
thank you access world for even considering my dilema.
I have two tables, and I link them(make a relationship) by field, then I create a Query where I choose the link field and all the others of one of the tables. This gives me the a list of records that are linked by the linked field.
Now, How can I get a list of the ones that are not included in that query?
I guess that the solution will be very easy, but I don't know it. So please help me!!
Hi, I need help on my search command. I am hoping to be able to use a combo box or a list box coming from a table as my criteria to use to filter records from a form and present it a subform/subreport upon clicking the command button. Ideally I should have a form wherein I will have a either a combo box or list box for my criteria, a subform/subreport, and a command button. When I select a particular item on the combo box or list box and I click the command button, the subform/subreport would show me records matching only the particular criteria I selected.
I tried using several approach but it's not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me, I am just learning how to do this all by myself.
First Approach: I tried using a list box to list all the countries I have available from the country table and a command button so when I select a country from the list box and click on the command button I will be able to show on a datasheet view only records matching the country criteria. This is the code I used: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub Preview_Click()
End Sub __________________________________________________ _______________ But everytime I click on the command button Preview, I am always asked to enter parmeter value then when I type the country that's when it shows the record in forms format matching the criteria country but when I dont type anything and click ok, it just shows a blank form and indicates it's filtered but no record is showing. But I click cancel, it shows a Run-time error '2501'. why does it still have to make me type the parameter if I have selected it on the list box already?
Second Approach: On the form: I used a combo box, a subform/subreport and a command button. On the combo box I have to show different countries available on my country table. on the subform/subreport I have used my a form created from a query. I want to select from the combo box a particular country and used it as my criteria to filter the records I have on my subform when I click on the search command button. I tried following the sample given by gromit but it doesn't want to work on my database.
This is the code I followed: __________________________________________________ _______________ Private Sub btnClear_Click() Dim intIndex As Integer Me.cmbCountry = 0
End Sub
Private Sub btnsearch_Click() Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM qrybycountry" & BuildFilter
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Requery
End Sub
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null ' Main filter
'Check if there is a filter to return... If IsNull(varWhere) Then varWhere = "" Else varWhere = "WHERE " & varWhere
' strip off last "AND" in the filter If Right(varWhere, 5) = " AND " Then varWhere = Left(varWhere, Len(varWhere) - 5) End If End If
BuildFilter = varWhere
End Function __________________________________________________ _______________ After selecting on the combo box and click on the command button it just shows all record. It doesn't seem like it is reading what I selected from the combo box as my criteria to filter the records. What could be I be doing wrong? Honestly, I dont understand what is happening to the code here especially the BuildFilter function.
Please help me, I would really want to figure this problem out. Thank you so much.
I have added a listbox inside my form that needs to filter records based on a field in the databases. For example if I have a record that has the field filled in with a text "reports", then it should only show those record that are on the second listbox. I have duplicated Outlook as an access database where I store all the old emails. The first listbox is called "FolderNames" where it shows all the folders names that are in the column called "FolderNames". The second Listbox is called "Subject" and shows all the subjects from the colun called "Subject".So when I select from the first listbox "Reports", then all the records that have the field filled in with "Reports" should show up in the second listbox.
I'm new to query design. I have a database where operators will enter readings from 14 different compressors, twice per shift, three shifts per day. In the Rounds table for each record the following fields are included:
Round (each set of readings is a round, each shift is supposed to do 2 per shift, the rounds are numbered Rnd 1 and Rnd 2)
Status (this is one of many readings they will record for each round/machine)
On the paper form it is easy for the operator to tell which machine they haven't recorded a round for yet because the space for it on the form is blank. In the Access form they are simply presented with a blank space to enter a new record. I'm trying to develop a strategy to make it easier for the operator to see at a glance which compressors they haven't entered readings for yet. Management also needs a weekly report of which rounds were done and which were missed.
I'm thinking of creating a datasheet from a query that will list the missing rounds for each compressor/round/shift based on the current date. I think I can put that datasheet onto the form the operator is using to record the readings or perhaps on a subform they can access with a button. I'm having trouble designing the query. So far I've created a query that lists all the rounds for a specific date, then another query that uses those results to list the compressors that are missing a record.
Is there a way (via the form) to search for all the records that have the same customer name and have that list show up so the user can select the exact record s/he needs?
Is it possible to display records in different colours in a list? e.g. 2 colours: first line will be colour 1. Second line will be colour 2. third line will be colour 1...etc
EmpName GroupNum Jon Group1 Sam Group2 Tom Group1 Bob Group1 Hal Group2 Dan Group3 Cal Group2
With sample table above, can I write a query in Access that lists the data by GroupNum based on my criteria, say Group2 1st, then Group3, then Group1? Basically, how do I make the result show:
Sam Group2 Hal Group2 Cal Group2 Dan Group3 Jon Group1 Tom Group1 Bob Group1
If you take a look at the tab called insurance i have a list box. How do i filter the list box so that it will only display the patients insurance based on the demo tab.
Also i have other records in the table called people. they are not showing in the people form. when i use the mouse wheel automatically creates new record please help
I hope the title actually conveys what I'd like to do.
I want to assign records on a subform to a group header on a form. For example, I have groups A, B, C, and D and I want the records on a subform to be assigned to groups A, B, and D. (The number of groups and their names will change so I can't simply use an "A," "B," "C" option box.) My idea is to have a Multi-Select List Box on the main form and choose all the groups to which the records on the subform need to belong. So I'd select the groups, enter the records on the subform, then create a another record on the master form and assign records to another group.
Is it possible to make this happen without a lot of programming?
Hi every one. i want out put records into a list box with 3 column headings named as playerno, initials and name. The way i created the list box is by putting list value for the row source type and name the list box as lstPlayers. But unfortunately get all the the records Fields one after one not one row at a time. I be happy if some one tell how to fix this .Thanks

Hi! I hate to ask for so much help on this, but I'm lost.
I have a budget database that is used to track equipment for purchase. Many times, the same item (a desk, or chalkboard) is needed for more than one room, so I need to buy more than one. The way my form is set up, I put the detail about the chalkboard in and select the room ID for the room it is going into. The problem with this is that I don't want to have to do it for every single chalkboard location in the college.
So, I want to use a multiple selection list box to add the records all at once. In other words, I want to enter the item detail in my form, and then select all of the rooms that item is going into, and then click OK! and have it create new records for each room that item is going into. So rather than having one new record created (as would be with a combo box), if I have three rooms selected, I want the OK button to add the record to the table three times with a different room number for each record. Any ideas????? Thanks!
I have a list box populated with record ID's all of which need a date field updated. I have been succesful at using the list box to update single records, but am not sure how to transfer this idea to work with multiple records simultaneously.
The code i am using is:
Private Sub Command13_Click() Dim i As Integer Dim strSQL As String Dim sMessage As String Set db = CurrentDb() Dim sTitle As String For i = List10.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
