Possible To Link All Data In Ten Tables To Appear In One Master Table?
Aug 19, 2013
I was wondering if it was possible to have a master table where say 10 of my regulatory tables and their data once inputted from the forms will appear there? Is this possible? Because right now, each of my regulatory tables has a form where the data is inputted and appears within said table.
All these tables are separate, obviously. I want to consolidate all the information into one spot, is this a possibility within access?
I've nearly cracked where I want to be. I have essentially had to do the core of the back-end in SQL in order to organize the data in a way that actually makes sense to ACCESS.
Following this I now have a table with the following fields
Stock No SK Code Free Stock Qty Stk Qty Pd Actual Min Actual Max Forecast EoM Forecast +1Month Forecast +2Month
Essentially this is a stock forecast sheet. It takes into consideration incoming stock and estimated usage to provide an output as a "Forecast" stock level at the end of the forthcoming months.
The next phase of developing this is to allow users to manually change the front end by Group and Part Number with Quantity entry so that it auto updates the Estimated EoM, +1Month or +2Month figures depending on which month figure they are looking at. In addition, this information would need to be retained and ideally stored as individual tables or other .
I'm working on recreating my church's records in access and was originally wanting to take people from the Visitors table and automatically move the to the Members Table (and same with Deceased & Moved), but after some searching found that's not really do able. So now my question is, can I have a master table that has everybody (visitors/members/deceased/moved) and then split that into different tables while keeping the main table (that way I can go into the main table and reassign the person)?
I have a database with 7 related tables. Now the main table is called STUDENT. I am essentially creating a report card system and have broken down each part of the report into another table. Now to make it easy for teachers I have created a form which they can search for a class and in a datasheet all the students plus their ID numbers come up along with the spaces for them to enter their grades etc.
The problem I have is this. How can I get access to look for any updates from the STUDENT table and apply this to the other tables as it would not do this automatically, even though they are linked one-many I have copied the data from the main STUDENT table into each other table just so theres a reference for a teacher. Is there any magic button or something that I can make to do this so all extra student names and IDs are added to all other tables?
I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?
I need help! I've set up a database with a subform that worked until recently. I get an error message that says: The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error:'Invalid outside procedure'
I had added a date and time stamp for when something gets modified it changes the date/time. I even backtracked and took all that out from tables, forms, queries etc. but the error keeps appearing when I'm trying to update my subform.
I am using Access 2007 and have inherited a database. It has linked tables of Excel spreadsheets that are information extracted from our main system. The user wants developing a much faster and customized approach to billing the customer based on payroll related information.
There is a table of payroll billing transactions and it has the following record lay-out,
job_num, employee number, employee name, union group, rank, regular hours, overtime hours, other hours, trans_date, seq_num
On December 1st John Doe worked 8.0 regular hours as a pipefitter foreman on job number 6430 and this is record (sequence) number 254333.
There is another table that defines the union group. I am not concerned with this information at this time. The seq_num is a sequentially and uniquely assigned number given to each billing record in the main system.
There is also a Rate Master table and it has the following record layout,
job_num, union group, rank, regular_billing_rate, overtime_billing_rate, other_billing_rate
I am struggling as to how to relate these two tables so that I can develop some queries from it.
I have a database with two tables. tbl_job_information contains all the contracts info etc. tbl_data contains all the relevant work data. The first table is restricted to certain personnel, whereas anyone has access to the second table. Both tables have a column called 'job no', in the first table it is a primary key, in the second just a field. I would like to make it impossible in the second table to change the data in the 'job no' column to anything that is not in the same column in the first table. It this possible within the tables themselves, or would I have to do it via coding and forms?
I am building a user creation form. I have built it with 3 subforms
Subform 1 is voor general information about the user. Subform 2 is some more specific information about the user Subform 3 is more info about the same user.
Now when I create a user (record) in subform 1 it gets the primary key lets say 14. Then when i add information in subform 2. I want it to grab the Primary key 14 from subform 1. So that the information which is inputted in subform 2 will be related to information from subform 1. I get it working if I make a Main form and then put subform 2 and 3 in a subform and then let them grab the primary key from the main form. But how does this work with 3 subforms and no mainform.
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded. Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
I have got problem with ms access report. I want to make a report which is based on
1) first master table 2) first slave table 3) second slave table
I have done some research and decided to do some form with subform. So I have got the view one record from master table and many record from slave tables in one view.
But it turned out that it has become duplicate records. (the relationship are ok - it duplicate master record as many as slave records)
So: 1) how i can do ms access report from multiple tables - one master record with multiple records form slaves tables
While much of the discussions here are out of my league, this may just be the place to finally get some help.
I have a hobby weather station and I am also into gardening. Over the years I have accumulated a fair amount of data/ observations which are currently in assorted Excel spreadsheets & are becoming more an more difficult to maintain.
So, I decided to move the various Excel tables into MS Access. While I was able to draft a entity-relationship diagram for my horticultural data, I am at a total loss when it comes to weather/ climate data which are primarily time-dependent. With other words, I cannot find any references that explain how to design pairs of foreign and primary key for linking datasheets that contain time varying data such as various weather and climate data.
I have ordered dozens of books through the local library. Every book presents exactly the same example: customers and orders/sales. This example is fine when you have a myriad of interdependencies in your data (and proved useful for my horticultural data). But, my weather data are more or less independent of one another; the only thing they have in common is the time/date when I make the observations.
Do I have to create dozens of surrogate keys and add a ton of redundant data ?? I hope not !
I want to be able to connect dynamic web data such as live gold price, exchange rates from the relevant web pages to a table in Access 2010. I have searched the forum without finding any related answers.
I understood that this can be done in Excel by using "Get External Data from Web" where the connected cells will be updated along with live data changes in the linked web page. I could set up a link table from Excel in Access but this would be tedious since the Excel file has to be opened to get the data refreshed everytime I open the Access file.
How to load dynamic data directly from web site to an Access table?
What I need is a table that will hold a primary key field and 16 text fields at 255 characters per field. (NO memo fields) This will total about 4,080 characters but Access 2000 limits the record size to 2,000 characters.
I have two tables with 9 fields in each table in a one to one relationship as follows:
Table1: Primary Key = MyKey = autonumber field. Table1: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field. (i.e. Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4, Data5, Data6, Data7, Data8)
Table2: Primary Key = MyKey = number field. Table2: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field (i.e. Data9, Data10, Data11, Data12, Data13, Data14, Data15, Data16)
The problem is I want all the fields to act as though they are from a single table and to be on a single form. I don’t know how to go about the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields without using a SubForm. A SubForm don’t work because it expects the second table to have many records.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
I'm not very familiar with linking data from Access to Excel but I think it's what I'm going to want to do for my operation. I have a huge spreadsheet that my boss handed me and he wanted to see if it were possible to only present a part of it in access. I already have a form to a table that I created however, it came to my attention that creating a link also creates a new table so I guess my question is: Is there an easy way to have the form always correspond to the linked table? Or another question: is this the right way of thinking about linking the data?
I have just updated a big mdb database to accdb. But we have two associated databases that cannot be updated - they are for UPS and Fedex data, which presently does not support accdb. Can I link to mdb tables in another database from my main accdb database?
We have an MS Access 2010 Database that uses Local Tables, External MS Access Tables, and ODBC Linked Oracle Tables (Accessed for Read Only). The unsual issue occurs with the ODBC Linked Oracle Tables.
One of the more important aspects of the project is to modify the ODBC Links to point to upgraded Oracle Database Tables. Up until today, all of the Links had been able to be remediated with a simple refresh and test.
This morning, however, it was determined that one of the Database Tables did not exist in the Schema. Instead, it was an Oracle Synonym for a Table that existed in a different Schema. We believe that we have the proper authorization for access to all of the Schemas involved, and despite this fact, MS Access was unable to link to the Table properly.
I have a risk table containing risks and risk owners (many owners for one risk), meaning that I have two risk owners columns. What I would like to do is to connect both risk owner columns (containing the name IDs) to the Names table. But Access does not allow to connect more than 1 column to another.
I have broken up by master database, table, into several tables. They all share the same ID values since they came from the master table. So each table that I split off has a unique, matching, identifier, ID, in both the master table and the new table. Plus a previous matching identifier listed immediately below.
Example: Permit the master or main table and Builder a supporting table. There are five tables that I split off and all have an identifier similar to the two listed below.
Permit->ID Permit->BLD Builder->ID Builder->BLD
All my tables have the same ID. But each table also has a identification numbers such as builder BLD, Subdivision SB and inspector INS>
Permit has the BLD, SB and INS
Builder has only one occurrence for each builder in the Permit table. As in the past it was identified by BLD number and now also ID. the use of BLD is from when I used visual dBase. The big difference here is that I have two ways to identify one is ID any other is by BLD, etc. My first thought is to identified by the BLD. I don't know why, but I guess I fear using a single "ID" to identify my various split off tables unique value or BLD.
I am new to using Microsoft Access, and have started a job which it predominantly using access.
I am in-charge of the database, the table contains many fields for instance project code, organization name, project,total budget fee etc.
Project code are unique and represents income stream and work of a consultant.
However i have been ask to link project codes, for when consultants are working on a project together, so when a monthly report is run the work will appear on both consultants reports and not just the ones.
I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help. I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger. Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages. Is this possible? My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table. Thanks, Dan
I have been asked to maintain a directory for our local Scout district. It's currently in a spreadsheet, but is crying out to be a database.I have created a "group" table, this lists all the groups in the district.I have a 2nd table called "people" this holds details of all the people in the district.As some people can have a role in multiple groups, I have created a 3rd table called "link", this is to link the people to groups.
Having read various different posts on sub forms, I am still at a loss on how to create a form / subform to populate the link table.My initial thoughts were to have a combo box on the main form, listing the people and then have a list of groups on the sub form (the are only 24). I would have a check box next to each group and if checked, it mean that the person selected in the combo is associated with that group.However my issue is that the tick box would be a "yes/no" field and the entry in the link table needs to be a number.
