Pulling A Field To Match The Min Field That Is Queried
Nov 30, 2005
Let's see how well I can explain this. I'm sure the issue is much simpler than I know but my knowledge is limited as this is all self-taught.
I have two tables:
Table 1:
Category Name
Part Name
# used per house
Table 2:
Part Name
MFR Name
Part Number
Initial Cost
Rebate %
Final Cost
In my form table 2 is the subform as there are multiple manufacturers that we get price quotes from for every part that we use. I'm trying to query for the minimum price for each part but I cannot get it to give back the MFR name that has the minimum price. I currently can only get it to show the minimum price for each part but that doesn't tell me which MFR it is that provides that price.
Also, Final Cost is just the Initial Cost multiplied by the Rebate %. Is there anyway to make it be auto-populated within the table. Currently I'm just running a text box on my form that multiplies the two fields but that leaves my Final Cost field in the table blank obviously.
I have a few other things but figure I'll start here lol. Any help would be appreciated
I have a continuous form with an SQL query as its record source, it is a dynaset. Each row on the form is for a specific picture, containing a unique ID, a pre-generated caption field, and an official caption field. The idea is that users will edit the pre-generated caption field, hit a button, then their changes to the pregenerate caption will be made to the value of the official caption field.
My VBA code for the button works fine, in that it doesn't return any errors. The problem is that there is some sort of delay between when the button is hit and when the official caption field is updated. After the first press, the form requeries and the official caption field is the same, but after a second press the official caption field will display the user's changes.
First, a recordset clone is created using an SQL query, the pre-generated caption column is selected and then the results are filtered to the single record that shares the picture ID of whatever row the user was working in. Next, an SQL update runs, replacing the value of the official caption field with the value of the pre-generated caption that is contained in the recordset clone. Then the form is requeried.
I've tried adding a change of focus at the beginning of the code and a 15 second pause between when the update statement runs and when the form is requeried, neither solves the issue. The problem can't entirely be my code, because a second press of the button will make the appropriate changes.
I know what you're thinking, why have divide the captions into pre-generated and official in the first place - why not use pre-generated caption as the caption source? There is a separate feature that allows a user to mass edit captions and I decided to retain the original pre-generated caption as a field, in the event that the user makes a mistake or decides to reference the content of the pre-generated caption.
I have one memo per change (user input)...I need to have the comment the user inputs to copy into other records that were queried. I tried insert. My coding does one of the records or all of the records ..I need it to copy just to the queried records ...and I have a query but no filter set.
I need filling in field information. I have all records of people in one table, and for all persons i have Fields A B C and D. For PersonA I want to have FieldA and FieldB be tailored to that person, but FieldD to be pulled from PersonB's FieldB when PersonB's FieldA Value is typed into PersonA's FieldC. If it makes it easier, I want A Record to show
I have a form and a subform. I want to pull the data (current record) from a field (Unit) from the main form and use it in a report query, which is connected to my subform.
I thought I could create a variable (strVarUnit) then call the variable in query but I'm doing something wrong.
On the main form in the open event I created the variable ... Dim StrVarUnit as String
On the form after updating the Unit field I placed an event ... StrUnit = Me.Unit
I have a large problem that i need to get figured out ASAP! I have a form text box (named actual cost) that needs to pull a specific record from a table
Now in this table it has multiple rows according to each job. There is a text box (Project number) that has the project that this (actual cost) box should pull from the specific row in the table.
if anyone can help me it would be the biggest help. -Thanks Jon
I have several lookup fields in a table that reference data in other tables, each with two fields (unique nummber & text data). The combo boxes in the data entry form work fine, but when I produce reports, the unique number shows up in the output, not the text data from the second field. What can I do to force the data that I need to see in my reports?
I have 2 tables in access. One is a table with the us state abbreviations.
I have another table, one of the fields is an address field, e.g.
SOQUEL CA 95073 SOUTHAVEN, WA 98671 SOUTHBURY, CT 06488 SPENCER IA 51301 SPOKANE, WA 99201 SPRINGFE VA 22150
I would like to create a query, joining these two tables together so that the query can give me the 2 state abbreviation e.g.:
Address field/ Abbreviation field SOQUEL, CA 95073/ CA SOUTHAVEN, WA 98671/ WA SOUTHBURY, CT 06488/ CT SPENCER, IA 51301/ IA SPOKANE, WA 99201/ WA SPRINGFE, VA 22150/ VA
I have a contributor tracking table that is linked to a form of the same name. I created a make table from a query that calculates the total to date for each contributor (based on their contributor ID in the tracking table). I want to place this sum to date, in read only mode, on each contribution record for each contributor in the tracking table and on each master record in another table with the contact information for each contributor.
The contact table is in the one and the contributor tracking table is the many. If this isn't clear, I can upload the database. I essentially want to link a field from one table to a form with a different table source. The sum to date should only show for the record with a matching contributor ID.
I am sure this must be simple, but I can't get my head around it.
I have a query that looks at client bank account numbers, and finds duplicates.
There are a LOT of duplicates, because we have several accounts for the same person.
What I would like to do is find all the records where the account number and sort code match, but where the account NAME is different.
I am trying to find any records where the same account number is being used on more than one account.
All the fields are in a single table.
This is what I have so far, which just finds duplicate sort codes and account numbers; SELECT CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE, CPL_ACCOUNT.BANK_NAME FROM CPL_ACCOUNT WHERE (((CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER) In (SELECT [ACCOUNT_NUMBER] FROM [CPL_ACCOUNT] As Tmp GROUP BY [ACCOUNT_NUMBER],[SORT_CODE] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [SORT_CODE] = [CPL_ACCOUNT].[SORT_CODE]))) ORDER BY CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE;
I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.
I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.
Main table------> Table 1 Main table------> Table 2 Main table------> Table 3 Main table------> Table 4
All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)
However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.
For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.
For my study on academic research I need to match patents that refer to academic research as prior work with the actual prior work.
I have two tables (see attached images below).
One regarding AcademicPublications (AP), which is neatly organized with title, year, journal, volume, pages, first author, etc... 480,000 rows
One regarding Patentswhere all this information is hidden within one field, in the most messy way possible... for instance, a field could have:
Quote:
Sugita et al, "Nonsurgical Implantation of a Vascular Ring Prosthesis Using Thermal Shape Memory Ti/Ni Alloy (Nitionl Wire)," Trans. Amer. Soc. Artif. Intern. Organs, vol. 23, pp. 30-34.
or
Quote:
Willingham et al., Cell 13, 501-507 (1978).
Or many other ways.
I want to create a new table that is set up like this:
The question is: How do I match different fields from one table on one field of another and make it return another field (the ID)? Some references are too horrible to match, but I need as many as I can get.
I can imagine two queries would give me the bulk:
A match in [Title] AND [Year]
A match on ([SourceTitle] OR [AbbreviatedSourceTitle] ) AND [Volume] AND [Year] AND [PageStart]
I understand that I have to make use of the Like "*"&[value]&"*", but how do I make it return the matching ID?
I am attempting to use some external data to populate fields in my DB. I would like to reformat the ProductID in my DB to match a ProductName coming into my DB. We have many products that have 2 pieces. If the product does have two pieces, the external database has two ProductNames that look like this:
0000967 2000967
I would like my database to be able to pull information for each of these 2 part products (they will be displayed as one product in our DB, never to be seperated). I have a form that gives the exact measurements of the first piece by using the ProductName and matching my ProductID (0000967). I would now like to write a little VBA to populate some fields on the forms that are pulled from 2000967.
The issue is that I need to only get the trailing 6 digits of my ProductID and add a 2 at the beginning. Is there a quick Format syntax I could use to accomplish this?
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1 WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
We're trying to create a database to read quotes from a system based on changes made to components.
We have the database set up to store the quotes happily. We're pleased with the input forms and data capture however we are struggling with a query to get useful data from the database.
I have a main quote data table listing all the required fields such as costs and supplier data for the quotes, a table storing components that may be changed as part of a quote and a table listing alterations that could be made to these components. Each quote could have a number of changes made to a number of components. All these changes are stored in a changes made table which lists the quoteID, ComponentID being changed and The AlterationID of the alteration being made.
I want to be able to input a varied amount of changes via a form and be shown a list of all quotes where at least one change matches. I've managed to get this far using a lot of OR statements however the complexity is introduced as we need to sort these by an extra column produced by the query displaying the percentage the changes made in the quote match the search input.
If a quote appears matches my changes and there are no other changes on the quote - (100%)
If a quote matches all changes I have input but I input 5 changes and the quote has 6 - (5/6 - 83%)
If I input 1 change and a quote matches but has 8 changes on the quote - (1/8 12.5%)
I have built a nice database that has a form to enter data which logs in product received, there is a combo box on the same form that is linked through the query builder to auto populate the names from the contacts info table (the receivers of the product received) the contacts info table also contains information that is specific to each name such as locations.
As of now I have created a command button that brings me to the form that shows the information fields I need specific to a name, once I get that I have another command button to bring me back to the main form. How to create an additional list box on the main data entry form so as when the name is entered the new list box or text box (which is best?) will auto populate the information I need on one form instead of going back and forth.
Example:
Requester Name [ auto populate name ] currently linked to contacts info table (working)
(New field) Preferred Location [ need to auto populate location ] from the contacts info table (how do you pull locations specific to a contact name from the same table?
I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Hi, Would you humour me for a moment while I explain my query problem. I work in Air Freight at Heathrow where all consignments are processed under an Airwaybill (AWB), an eleven digit number where the first three digits (prefix) denotes which airline the freight has travelled with. For security reasons a lot of the freight is X-Rayed and I am designing a database to log these shipments. Sometimes freight will arrive at Heathrow on one airline and then travel on to its' destination (this is called a transhipment) on another having first been X-Rayed.
What I want to do is produce end-of-month reports for each airline detailing which of their freight has been X-Rayed. I have created queries which filter the data for each airline according to the first three digits of the AWB, simple. On the data entry form I have a combo box which allows the operator to select which airline the freight has transhipped on. My problem is in the query where I have used the Or operator to "catch" these records e.g in the United Airlines report where the prefix is 016 I have all the records that begin with this prefix plus those that went on this airline but also those that went on a different airline but have the 016 prefix. It is these last records that I only want to appear once on the report of the airline it finished its' journey with.:o
I'm building a quick database, but some of the data to go into the database is quite... odd...
Anyway, the point is, I have one sheet that says
"Job Number 1200-1245" which would have all the same details, dates, etc.
Is there a quick and easy way to put in a range, say J1200-J1245, enter the data once, then be able to query... for example J1212 would return the same data.
Select * From tblCal_SlsAB UNION Select * From tblCal_SlsBC;
Both of them have Unique IDs as PK, such as: AB001, AB002, etc for tblCal_SlsAB and BC001, BC002, etc for tblCal_SlsBC. When I do the UNION query I get: 1, 2, etc for both IDs instead. What's causing the ID to change and is there a workaround it? I need to get the same exact IDs I have in those individual tables. Thanks in advance!

Here is my code...if I take out the where statement..it copies the remarks all the way down my table to all the records...with the where statement..it's prompting in for parameters..
Private Sub Remarks1_Click() Dim strMsg As String, strQry As String, strRemark As String strMsg = "Update All Comments in the Current view. IMPORTANT!!! Will update a the Viewed records."
I have a report based on a query that returns all info from the query which is fine, I now need to amend this so that individual users can specify the date range to be queried and the person for whom the results are required (one of the query strings)...
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.
