Help! I am trying to think of a way I can use an excel worksheet as a data form in Access. A little background to the problem. A pre-school that I have been helping have a excel spreadsheet in place that they use as a kind of booking register which also works out the termly costs for each child based on the number of sessions attended. Is there any way I can inport or link this to a database so monthy invoice's and goverment figures can be printed automatically.
I am new to this forum and to Access. I have expierience with visual basic.
I am making a program in access for saving data when someone borrows something from you, to keep track of all your borrowed stuff.
Here are my questions.
1) How can I write code for buttons to change the records (movenext, movelast,...) + how can I change the current record? + how can I control a scrollbar via code?
2) How can I change the current recordsource via code and how can I run previously made query statements via code?
3) How can I change the ShowDropButtonWhen property from a combobox via code?
4) How can I control a FlexGrid via code?
5) How can I open another Form with a press on a button via code?
6) How can I save and load an OLE/object image and how can I show them via an ActiveX control?
Thats about it folks
If anyone can point me in the right direction or can give me an example database, I would be very happy:)
I am responsible for creating a database for a school project, and am having some problems relating the two tables of the database together. Please keep in mind that I have no prior Access experience, and know very little about the program. Here is my situation, any help would be greatly appreciated:
Taking the perspective of a product vendor in a store (i.e. selling soda to a grocery store), I am trying to create a database which allows me to run a query for authorized products in certain stores. I have a products table which has all available products the company sells, and then I have a Stores Table for the different stores which carry the company's product. I want to know how to set up and join each table so that if a certain product is not authorized in a certain store, it will not show up in a query.
Again sorry for the shallow description, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am creating a new database system for my cadet organisation, and I am in the early stages of learning how to use Access. (I am using this as a learning curve, as I need to get to grips with Access for University, there's no better way to learn than by doing.)
I want a system that stores the attendance of cadets on each night we meet, so far I have:
|Table| Cadets CadetID - AutoNumber (PK) FName - Text LNAme - Text Flight - Lookup from Flight Table
|Table|Flights FlightID - AutoNumber (PK) Flight - Text
|Table|Attendance AttendanceID - AutoNumber (PK) Attendance Type - Text
The table that actually contains the register I am unsure how to structure, it would have to contain Cadet Name/ID, the date and Attenance type, from attendance DB.
The table would be updated every Tuesday and Thursday, when we meet. I've been thinking for a while about how to do this and can't find a good solution.
As the data will be entered by a user (who won't know Access from Adam) I'd like a form that lists all the cadets in the Cadet table, as each of these will have to be registered, and then a drop down box listing the options from the Attendance table next to each cadet, doesn't have to be drop down, can be optionbutton, image....
In the final version I would like the cadets to be sorted by flight in the form, but lets not go mad yet!
Can anyone help me with this? Or am i simply being silly?
I haven't used Access for long, but have used VBA in Excel before and am a fairly experienced user; I will attempt anything but bare with me if at first I don't succeed.
I just recently bought a new computer and it doesn't have any Microsoft Office products installed. So, I pulled out my old Office97 CD and tried to install it. However, I got the following message:
htmlmarq.ocx was unable to register itself in the system registry.
I am considering creating a form to use as a cash register or simple POS system. Where I could start looking into this? are there any templates or sample code I could refer to? Using access 2003 version...
I am trying to create a access database system which will show classes, students, attendance, progress report, teachers, departments etc...
i have repeatedly failed in accomplishing this database as i dont have the knowledge.
the place that i get messed up is for example the attendance, i want it so that i can select a date and then all the students associated with that class showup. so 1 date and a list of student only on that class.
another problem was adding a progress report for every class and individual students.
this is for a community based school which teachings on saturdays, there are over 15 volunters who do not get paid to teach but are still willing to give something back to the society.
i beg you guys out there, you all are geniuses!!! please help us design this simple system. please if somebody already knows where i can get a system like this free of charge then let me know ASAP!
I would like to thankyou in advance for reading thins messge.
OK I'll start by giving some background detail. This is my major project and I am creating a system for the school library. I am using Microsoft Access 2003. I have made a query and my end user will type in the date that a book is loaned out. My database then automatically fills in the duration it is loaned for, the date is due back. What I hope someone on here can tell me is:
Can I get the current date on my database. So that it updates all the time to always keep the current date. Then I can make it automatically work out how many days late the book is (if it is).
Anyone who can answer this question or point me in the right direction is a hero! Thanks, Michael.
EDIT: OK I have found how to make the late field update automatically. Late: Date()-[DateDue]. But surely if it can do this and know the current date for use in an equation it can display the current date? Anyone know how to do this?
I am designing a library system for an A2 project and i was just wondering if i could have a validation rule to prevent a copy from bieng borrowed if there was allready a record for a book in the database with no value for returned field. (meaning it hasnt been returned and its currently out) Im pretty noobie at access
LOAN__PUPIL_COPY___BORROWED_____Returned 100001 1001 10001 17 November 2004 100002 1002 10002 20 November 2004 100003 1003 10003 17 November 2004 100004 1004 10004 18 November 2004 100005 1005 10005 20 November 2004 100006 1006 10006 20 November 2004 100007 1007 10007 20 November 2004 100008 1008 10008 20 November 2004 100009 1009 10009 20 November 2004 100010 1010 10010 20 November 2004
This is how it looks at the moment. Im not sure where you would add a validation rule. The records in this table will be kept, and when a book is returned a date is added to the returned field. MANY thanks for anyones input, ive been brain storming it for weeks but i dont think i can do it without any code of some some sort.
Ok, firstly im sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I say this because my problem first begins with the tables but then i need to sort a problem out with the form aswell, but i will put it in here.
Here is the problem. Im sorry if im not too clear with this.
I need to create a register system E.G. A child comes into a club, he is registered. At the end of the session the child leaves the club. His depature is registered and his departure time is also recorded down.
Like a paper based school register but electronically.
How would I go about implementing this into a system?
Would I need a child table (with fields such as Child ID, Forename, Surname etc.) and a register table (not sure on the fields)?
k, this bit below probably goes in the forms section...
How would I get this to work on a form so there were boxes to check for arrival and departure, and when a button is clicked the depature time is filled in for each day of the term?
I’m a travelling music teacher. So my many pupils are split into many small groups (of 1, 2 or 3 pupils).
What I want is to open a form with lesson details. I’d select a date and then a group and then the details of the pupils in that group would come up (probably in a subform). I could then enter data for each pupil for each lesson e.g. whether they were absent.

I have a report that needs to be set up in 2 columns using the school year, 2012-2013, 2013-2014, etc. My issue is this. The columns go down the page and continue on the right side for column 2 in the correct order. Is there a way to have the columns break for the school year?
I currently have this: 2012-2013 2014-2015 2012-2013 2014-2015 2012-2013 2014-2015 2013-2014 2015-2016 2013-2014 2015-2016
I am trying to create a report which is basically a School Certificate. The requirement is that I need to print the Issue Date, means the current system date be printed in ENGLISH WORDS rather Alpha-numeric format, i.e.: instead of 11 Mar 2012, I need some thing like this: Eleven March Two Thousand and Twelve.
Most of the project is done...I am stumped on calculating a field for the report...any help is greatly appreciated..thanks so much.
Use a Microsoft Access database to create the tables and column headings show in Figures 1-3 and discussed in the Background section. Create the tables in the design view. Populate the tables with the data as shown. Make sure you create a composite primary key field for the ORDERS table. The key should consist of the fields Invoice Number and Product Number to allow customers to order more than one item.
Customer Customer NumberCustomer SchoolCustomer StreetCustomer CityCustomer StateCustomer ZipContact Name 105Central High123 Main StreetDenverCO80208Mary 107Central Middle35 South ParkDenverCO80278Sue 423JKF Elementary69 5th AvenueCheyenneWY90200Pat 516Toddler Time8000 ParkwayFt. CollinsCO80487Jan 799Georgetown High819 Rt. 909BoulderCO80303Jack
The owner wants to find out how much of each product is selling for the date ll/15/2005. Develop a query in the design view to give that information using the headings Date, Product Name, and Quantity. Save the query as Today’s Sales.
Creating another Select Query
Tomorrow, the owner is going to be in Denver, CO, and she would like to call on the customers there personally. Make a query to display the contact name, school, and street address ONLY for those schools in Denver. Save the query as Denver Schools.
Generating a Sales Report
Finally, make a report to show the dollar amount sold to each customer for each product. To create the report, you will need to:
•Make a query first and then bring that query into the Report Wizard. •The query will contain a calculated field for Total Owed. •The query should show the fields Customer School, Customer City, Date, Product Name, Quantity, and the calculated field, Total Owed. •Name this query “Report Data” •The report will be grouped by Customer School and Customer City, with subtotals for each school’s sales and a grand total. •Make sure you delete any bogus total lines, and make all appropriate fields currency.
Deliverables
Three tables Query output: Today’s Sales Query output: Denver Schools Query output: Report data Report: Current School Sales Defined relationships (I can press the relationships button and will see that the relationships between tables are defined)
I have inherited an Access project from a former employee. My school currently keeps all grades in an Access program. Right now we just assign numerical values and those are turned into grades (I cannot actually find this table). Overall it works well, however, we now have classes where we need to input Pass/Fail and Audit.
I am building a student register for a school for disabled children. There is a screen listing all students, one showing detailed student data chosen by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", one listing all the guardians, choosing a guardian by #=IIf(IsNull([ID]),"(New)","Open")# clicking on "Open", to diaplay Guardian details.
From the student list, I select and view student details, including a pointer to their guardian details. After selecting the first student details, and then viewing their guardian data, any subsequent student details and guardian details updates the prior guardian data with the next guardian's data.
How can I prevent the successive guardian details from updating the prior guardian table when it is exited? I view the guardian details using ADO recordsets populating a form. When I exit, it updates the previous record.
I am developing database for my school. I am done with everything except the examination aspect where i need to indicate students position in every subject beside their overall position according to the sum of all the subject scores. How to indicate student position in subjects.
I tried to post this yesterday but it didn't go through for some reasons.
I've attached my database that contains student, classes, and couple other tables. I also created couples of forms and I wanted to register a single student to multiple classes at once.
For example: There're 3 classes (Math, English, History) on 1/3/2006. Student A wants to register 2 classes, Math and English. I should be able to check those two and submit and I'm done.
Currently, I have to select Math and assigns to student A, then select English. That's not good at all. What if there're 10 classes in one day and a student just want to register 8 classes? I have to do eight times.
It'd be great if you could help me. Thank you in advance. Isabel
I'm interested to know how I can select a (1) student and assigns to multiple classes.
Attached I have the database with some tables and forms. Please take a look. I can assign a student to a class, on a specific day but I couldn't figure out how to select multiple classes at once.
I have a drawing register database which notes the revisions for all drawings issued. One drawing can be revised several times so I have a details table which notes the revision letter, date issued and the notes for each revision. Using this table I created a max date query to show the latest issue date and revision for each drawing. This query is used for a transmittal form for issuing drawings. Both the form and report is working perfectly.
The TBLTransmittal consists of the following fields ContractName IssueDate SubSup DwgNo (multi-value checkbox)
Using the TBLDwgRegisterDtls or the query QRYDtldDwgReg (which includes the drawing titles) I would like to create a query that would look up the latest revision at the date of issue and show the revision letter.
I started a query combining TBLTransmittal and TBLDwgRegisterDtls and in the criteria for DateIssued of the TBLSDwgRegisterDtls (which is when the drawing was issued by the architect to the contractor) I put "Not > [IssueDate]". This is filtering the information to show revisions issued up to the date we (the contractor) issued the drawing to our sub-contractor but I need now to pull the max revision only from this information.
Before I go I will give you an example of what I want from the end result
Drawing BK2-02 rev. D was issued by the architect to the contractor on July 17th. This drawing was in-turn issued to our sub-contractor (Sub "A") this Saturday, August 9th. The same drawing was revised this morning and rev. E was issued to Sub "A" today, August 11th.
I want the end report to show that Sub A received Rev. D on 09-08-14 and Rev. E on 11-08-14.
I'm wondering if another max date query on this new query would work? I'll try and see what happens.
I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.
