Hi i have to design a member database in access, As the membership number i need to use the first letter of the surname, then have an auto number. e.g Smith, if the last member was S47 then Smith would need to be S48, This will be used on a form for a video hire shop, so, the customer details will be entered, is it possible for this auto number to work just by putting the name in the surname field?
i cannot build a simple query and save it as reference since the number of organizations may be 25 at the minimum. this is why i want to build it on the fly, so to speak.
I have a table with a field named BinNo which has a list of items with a bin no in the format 1.234( this number can be any number up to 6000.9999).
Is there a way for me to have a field on a form where I enter a number (i.e 1) and it lists all the items with a 1 before the decimal point but not 10 or an other number with a one in it. If I enter 10 then it will only give me the items with 10 before the decimal point and not 11 etc.
I have a query that pulls all the data into it but I only want the query to show the items relating to the number I enter into the form field.
I have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200 ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.
I'm designing a database in which the primary key is a combination of the first letter of first name, the first letter of last name and the date of birth.
have two table - TABLE 1 contains letter of the alphabet and a user assigned to each letter while TABLE 2 contains company name and user assigned to each company.What I'm hoping is if I change the user2 for letter A in table 1 all the company that starts with letter A in table 2 will have the user2 as the user assigned.
ok here is what i want.. imagine a search box, just an empty text box that allows the user to type things into it...
there will be a simple table from the database behind it, here is the typical structure of a record
<Country>Poland <Price1>60 <Price2>85 <Price3>95
in this table there will be say a 1000 of these records... my user is going to have to quickly search through these records while on the phone to a customer, and quote one of the relevant prices associated with that country
what i would like is this most convenient system.. as the user types in the letter 'P' just below all the records with countries that begin with 'P' are displayed (with a scroll down arrow if needed)..as well as the 3 relevant prices with that record
if they then type an 'O' into the box (which will now hold 'Po') all the records with countries beginin with 'Po' will be displayed (eg Poland)
if they delete the 'o'. once again the displayed records below the box will return to just the countries begginin with 'p'
all that is needed is for the records to be displayed, thats it.. but the adding and deleting of the letters within the text search box will need to instantly manipulate this list..
i have posted on other forums, and have been told this can be acheived in access, is it hard?
Is it possible to search a field for a Lowercase letter.All data should be capital, but occasionally a user may ann a record in lowercase, and was looking for a query to pull back all records in lowercase
I need to generate a pre-formatted letter from within MS Access, where the name, address and other information will be pulled from the current record on an Access Form. Basically it is like a welcome letter I could send to any new client I enter into the data base. Since I am doing one letter at the time, mail merge in MS Word is not an option What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks

I am trying to print a letter from access when a comand butting is pressed. It returns syntax error on this line:set objWordDoc = objWordApp.Documents.Open(C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopEXPRESS DIPLOMA LETTER.doc)
I'm trying to set up a query where it returns me only the items that are repeated.
ie...I have a table that has clients that are one time clients and other that are repeated. Each client has a client number. I would like to get only the clients whose client number appears more than once. Is that possible?
I try to find the ID corresponding to the maximum date+time grouped by Machine. In this case I would like to find 311 (maximum date/time for machine 115) and 308 (maximum date/time for machine 111)
The way to extract the maximum date + time is not difficult
SELECT Max([Date]+[time]) AS datevalue, tbl_TexControl.Machine FROM tbl_TexControl GROUP BY tbl_TexControl.Machine;
But how do I get the corresponding ID? Not with Max([ID]) because then ID 310 is selected which is not the maximum of the time.
Model Full Name: "Jones, John P." (this was the one not in MS' examples) Last Name Extract = Jones lastN = IIf(InStr(1,[Model Full Name],",")=0,"",right([Model Full Name],len([Model Full Name] - (InStr(1,[Model Full Name],",")+2)))First Name Extract = John firstN = IIf((InStr(1,[Model Full Name],",")+1)=InStrRev([Model Full Name]," "),Right([Model Full Name],Len([Model Full Name])-(InStr(1,[Model Full Name],",")+1)),Mid([Model Full Name],(InStr(1,[Model Full Name],",")+2),(InStrRev([Model Full Name]," ")-1)-(InStr(1,[Model Full Name],","))))
Full Name, Forename, Surname, Salutation. This data has been extracted from another database where the Surname field was not required but it is now. So i need to find a way to pull data from the salutation field into the surname field where salutation has data but surname is null. The next one when surname and salutation are null but full name has data i need to pull that across.
I have a query that I run to extract some values for calculations. Its run on an event based on a dropdown selection. At the moment, I run via:
Code: DoCmd.OpenQuery "CallMidprice"
and then close it. this seems to take more time than is necessary when I only want to refresh the results.Open query without close, switches to the table but doesn't update until I press F5.When I try requery I get an error. "Runtime error '2109': There is no field named 'CallMidprice' in the current record.
Requery without 'Callprice' seems to requery my form.
i would like to make a query in ma access can extract text between first and second character "/" and when there are not "/" in field it returns null.now data in my table are like below
Quote:
No option1 1 100 2 145/Mechanical/0800 3 120/electrical/1620 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001
Now I like to make a query can extract text between first and second character "/" like below: No option1 discipline
I am trying to extract the first instance of 3 numbers from a string using an update query to update another field in the same table(Master Equipment) titled "Code". the field is called "Equipment". the strings vary in length as well as the location of the 3 numbers needed, but I have examples of all possible locations the 3 number series could be located below. As you will notice, some fields do not contain 3 numbers together, for these I don't want to return a value.
I'd like to extract just one TestPos record (TestPos = 1) per Patient ID. And I always want to select the record with the earliest date. So the result would be:
I can do this but it requires 3 queries: a SELECT query where TestPos = 1, a GROUP BY PatientID query and MIN(VisitDate) to get the desired record per patient, and then another query that links the two so I can get the additional variables (e.g., Complaint).
Is there a way to do this without using 3 queries? Seems inefficient.
