Purchase Orders And Lines - How To Make The Sorting Of 1 Field Dependent Upon Another
Dec 12, 2006
I have a database of purchase orders
Many of the purchase orders have a revision No against them, eg:-
Purchase Order No / Line No / Revision No / Value
1001 / 001 / 00 / £50
1001 / 001 / 01 / £100
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
I am trying to find a way to write a query that will show me the actual value of the final revised value of each Purchase order line ie: the answer to above is
If I have a Form that is used to populate a Table can I make one field entry dependent upon another?
For example, if I have a field for Discipline (with values such as Mechanical, Electrical, Piping) and another field for Equipment Type (with values such as Motor, Gearbox, etc) can I set up the Form so that when I select Electrical for the Discipline, only electrical items (such as Motor) are available to select for the Equipment Type field?
Using the table below as an example, if I select Electrical for the Discipline field in my Form, when I go to select a value for the Equipment Type field the drop down shows only Motor and Fan?
Discipline Equipment Type Electrical Motor Electrical Fan Mechanical Gearbox Mechanical Pump Piping DN 150 Pipe
Or, better still, can I set it up so that if I select Motor for the Equipment Type field, the Discipline field will automatically be populated with Electrical?
I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf
Access 2003 Database for tracking job search/applications I have three tables: Job (includes employer, contact) and Contact (First name, Last name, employer), and Employer (Employer name)
Form.Job is the main data entry mechanism. On this form, I enter the job details. I select the employer from a combo-box that draws from the Employer table. I would like to select the contact from a combo-box that filters contacts and shows only those that match the Job.Employer selection.
:confused: 1. How can I make a bi-directional link so that a new entry in the employer combo-box creates a new entry in the employer table? At the moment, I get around this with a "New employer" button on Form.Job that just opens up the employer table, but there seems to be an updating issue - new names don't show up in the combo-box for a while
:confused: 2. How can I get the contact combo-box to show only contacts with an employer that matches the employer selected in the employer combo-box?
Note that I got this to work once by using a sub-form, but I don't really understand how (presumably Access defaults that did what I wanted), and I don't want to have to use a sub-form.
I have two combo boxes in my form. The first one has the option of selecting a or b. If the user selects a, the second combo box will have the options of c and d, if b is selected the options in the second one will be e and f. How can i do this?
Does anyone know how to make a report have lines in it like excel can do when you print out. My boss likes to read this data with lines seperating stuff. Thanks.
I have a database where I have 3 tables. first is client data, second orders data and third the products data. What I would like, is to have a button on my form that after selecting from a combobox a product, it wil enter it in the tabel orders in the next available free record (row). I created a button and the combobox in the client form. The Products table has also the price per unit in it. It should take the whole row of data and put it in the Orders table.
Is there a way to do this? I guess it needs to be done with vba, but not sure.
I want to create a different rowsource-query for a lookup field (field1) in each record in a subform. The rowsource changes dependent on the value in another field (field2) in the same record. How can this be done?
- I tried to change the rowsource-query in an eventmacro when the focus is set to field1, but this ofcourse changes the rowsource for all field1's and makes the allready selected values unvisible. - I think I have to include the value of record 'field2' in the rowsource query, but i cannot find a way to include that value in the query.
Something like:
Lookup field1 in the subform contains this rowsource - SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.AGE, CUSTOMER.NAME FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE (CUSTOMER.AGE= me![field2]); me![field2] however does not function
I have a table called welding, I want to create a user friendly form for input. The database ultimately wants to go on share point so I am building it in the web database option.
One of the fields is called location, if the location is 'Field' I want 10 more fields to appear for data entry such as weld reason, rail temperature etc . If the location is 'Depot' I want these fields to be hidden as they aren't relevant.how would I do this?
Is there a way to make a field on a form dependent on what the user selects from 2 other cbo? By that I mean I would want the user if they selected in cbo1 Easter and they select cbo2 Regional President in the form field I would want it to auto return the name John Smith because in my table he is the Eastern Regional President. I am not sure if I can do this by query or is there an easy way to do this?
I am trying to put in a validation rule so that data in one field cannot be less than that in another. e.g. i want to make a validation rule so that a phone call end time cannot be before the phone call start time. Can anyone help???
I would like to display the value of a field [Name] based on the value of another field in the same Table [Position] in a report. My goal is to have a visual representation of data that changes based on the changes to the value of the [Position] field.
Hi. I'm unable to work out how to set up a query which will filter records according to what is returned by one control, but will also list all records if the value of the control is null.
Situation: I have a CONSULTATION table linked many to many via a CONSULTATIONLIST relation table to an ADVISOR table. (An Advisor may be present in any number of Consultations, and a Consultation may include any number of Advisors.)
I have a CONSULTATIONMANAGE form enabling the user to select an Advisor from the table ADVISOR via a combo box called SELECTADVISOR which returns Advisor ID (adID).
My CONSULTATION form, displaying the list of consultation records, currently has, as record source, the following query:
SELECT Consultation.*, Advisor.adID FROM Consultation INNER JOIN (Advisor INNER JOIN ConAdList ON Advisor.adID = ConAdList.adID) ON Consultation.conID = ConAdList.conID WHERE (((Advisor.adID)=[Forms]![ConsultationManage]![selectadvisor]));
This query correctly lists only those Consultations in which the selected Advisor was present.
Problem: What I also need to do is show ALL Consultation records if the user does not select an Advisor from the combo box.
so i'm trying to create a report that only displays certain fields per record based on another field in that record. To clarify: [Type] is a numeric field holding either 1, 2, or 3. I have a function that is instructed to display (ie, change from not visible to visible) a certain combination of fields depending on the number in [Type] when the form is opened. I assume I would have to go through all the records individually (do loop until), but i'm not sure if this works in a report.
is there any way to have different fields displayed for different records within the same report??
Is it possible to use date dependent field names in a query?
I have this table and there are columns based on year and month (formate of names is: 2014,01) I need to select the columns of last month and then 4 months further down in history.
Is there a way to do that as the information in those columns I need to make calculations and graphs with.
Hi, I've got a data entry form where orders can be created. Within this form there is a ComboBox which is used to search for items and stores the selected item ID in the Order table. However the field for storing the Unit Price relating to the selected item is currently manually enterable. Where as I would like this to be dependent on the item selected within the ComboBox and updated automatically.
At the moment I've added an extra colum to the ComboBox to retrieve the relevant Unit Price and I can show this in a normal seperate text box using '=Combo27.Column(1)' as the ControlSource.
How can I get rid of the text box and incorporate the code into the current UnitPrice field so as it inserts the relevant record (price) into the UnitPrice coloumn of the Order table?
I am attempting to open a website hyperlink, some of the fields contain https:// and some of them dont.
Code: Private Sub Facebookbut_Click() Dim Hyper As String If InStr([TEAMFacebook], "https") Then Hyper = Me.TEAMFacebook Else Hyper = ("https://www.facebook.com/" & Me.TEAMFacebook) End If Application.FollowHyperlink Hyper End Sub
So far this does 2 things, it doesn't open any hyperlinks at all and continues to attempt to until the program is closed from task manager. Before I had this error it would open the hyperlink twice if the field does not contain "https" and the IF statement was passed to the 2nd option.
I there a way to determine whether or not my checkbox within a form is ticked or not dependent on another value within a field?
I have a field called 'DaysRemaining' and another check box field called 'Expired'. I want the expired checkbox to be ticked if the value within 'DaysRemaining' is '<0' and unticked if '>=0'. Is there a way i can do this within the control source of my check box?
Is there any way to count how many lines of text are stored in a particular table field? How about counting how many times was the "enter" key pressed?
I've exported some data which has 3-4 address line within the same field which is very odd.
The row has all the usual data, but when I look at the data in datasheet view the adresss line 1 shows only but when I click into the field and press down, more address info comes up. Is there any way to have this on one row within the field rather than multiple.
A bit like in Excel when you Alt+Tab in a cell it drops down but is the same cell, well this exactly like that in Access 2003.
I'm using a query to concatenate data from a table into a specific HTML format. I would like, however, to find a way to remove lines of HTML when there is no data in a specific field.
Example:
If I were to create a list of available colors of a shirt like so:
I need to find a way to get rid of that last vacant tag. I image there's some kind of code I could write (if x is null, clear line17, or something like that) but I wouldn't even know where to start with that.
what I then would do is copy that to a purchase order but remove the negative sign can this can the formula be changed in anyway to give the positive number .
I have a query that displays the difference between the number of scanned and processed invoices for each date (invoices scanned minus processed). Now I would like to make a query that for each date based on this shows the total backlog accumulated.
Example table:
The first column contains the date, and the second number of invoices scanned minus invoices processed.
2014-01-02 53 2014-01-03 -15 2014-01-04 24
Would it be possible somehow to make a query that for each lines shows the complete sum of all previous lines?
Based on the above data the result should be:
2014-01-02 53 2014-01-03 38 2014-01-04 62
Or would I have to write some VBA code to create some kind of temp table?
Ive had a recurring problem with one of my databases
ive got a form with a subtable on it, the subtable is very important as much of the DB's data is entered in there.
every once and a while one of the users will be doing data entry and on a certain field (a short text field if that makes any difference) theyll push enter instead of tab, to move on to the next field, enter creates a new line instead of moving to the next field, when a new line is created the user will either assume the field is blank and retype the data or ignore it entirely and move on
the trouble is one of my queries completely fails to work when there are multiple lines in this field (comes with a data type mismatch error)
is there a way to prevent the field from being able to contain multiple lines (like a property setting or some VB code?)
I have a memo field which records the events that happen on a form. So for example when a user changes the assignment from one user to the next, a row is written to the memo field indicating date, time, windows logon and then a brief description
Basically I end up with :
07/12/06 11:16:34 kleaves : Assigned user changed from Joe Bloggs to John Doe
At present every new row is added to the memo field at the end, so the most recent action is at the bottom.
How can I sort this so that most recent is at the top.
