I have built an access database (Access 2002) which contains around 370 records.
It would be useful to be able to click a button on a form to review which records (forms) have been amended or what records are new.
This could be presented by either (1) sorting the records so the newest/or latest changed records came first, followed by the next most recent etc etc, or by (2) presenting a list of record names which could be followed manually.
I have tried several text books but have been unable to find a solution so any help from the experts would be very welcome.
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.
I'm sure the answer is on here somewhere but trying to find it and then getting it to work is a bit of a problem, so i resorted to posting.
I have 5 tables Partnership Details, Invoices, Funding, Communication, Communication Types.
the field Partnership Name in the Partnership Details table has a one to many relationship with the partnership name on tables: Invoices, Funding and Comunication.
What I want to do is create a query that will show the most recent invoice (detirmined by date) and the most recent funding (detirmined by date) for each partnership.
I can do this using max if I only want the feilds Partnership name, invoice date and funding date. however I want to create a report that will show several feilds from partnership details and I want to show the invoice no. and amount as well as the date and also the amount and notes field for funding
hi. I am trying to write a code to sum the total cost of all jobs that are selected as 'yes' in a combo box.
Once the user selects 'yes' in a combo box, they enter in a cost for that specific job. Each client may have 10s of jobs. I need to write a code that will sum up all the 'yes' selected jobs for a client. I know it should be an 'if' statement but I can't seem to get it to work. I need this value for a report. How would I do this and where would i put the code.
Help is appreciated.
Here is the code that I was thinking of, I don't think its right but it might be a start.
Dim Count As Variant Dim CountImplementedTotal As Variant
CountCost = 0 CountImplementedTotal = 0
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordSet("ECM Details") Do While Not rst.EOF If rst![AUDIT ID] = Forms![audit info]![AUDIT ID] Then If rst![Has Measure been Selected] = "YES" Then Count = Count + rst![Total Measure Cost] End If End If rst.MoveNext Loop
Hi I have a database for maintaining procurement contracts which includes a start date for each contract and a frequency of reviews required (monthly, qrtly, bi-annual, yearly). I need to be able to generate a report that will tell me when the next review is due for each contract, taking today's date into consideration.
This is the setup so far:
tblRegistry - contains field 'Commence' for the start date of the contract and 'Review Req' to indicate how often a review is required (monthly, yearly etc).
tblReviewReq - contains field 'Review Frequency' (monthly, yearly etc) and 'Days' to assign the number of days eg monthly = 30, yearly = 365 etc.
Next I have a query that includes the above tables using the fields 'Commence' and 'Days' and have created a calculated field to give me the next review date ie contract start is 1/08/07, review freq is monthly (=30 days), therefore the next review is 1/09/07. "NextReview:[Commence]+[Days]"
But how do I get it to tell me the next review date after the 1/09/07? Ultimately I'd like to be able to pull a report at any stage which will tell me all the reviews that are coming up.
I have one Query with the following: Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main.Last Name, Main.Assigned Date
I created a Daily Report using this Query to tell me when I need to meet again with these people.
I have a Report that has the following: Main.ID, Main.First Name, Main. Last Name, Main.Assigned Date, [Assigned Date]+30,[Assigned Date]+60,[Assigned Date]+90,[Assigned Date]+120,[Assigned Date]+150,[Assigned Date]+180
What I would like to do:
The current report shows ALL records with the requested information. How can I have the Query or Report filter out the records that do not have any of the review dates falling on today's date?
I hope I explained myself. If further explanation is necessary let me know.
This database is for a car event that's held once a year. It has been a work in progress for about 15 weeks now and is basically finished. There is only a couple of errors and not sure where to start. The database is so big it is getting a little out of reach for me to organize everything.
Idea of the database is that I can enter entrant's information, there car details and any merchandise they want.
Main errors I’ve noticed are;
In email form if you select one user it still emails everyone. In the car details form the induction box does not show the value list I created in the car table. when entering a t-shirt in the products form you select the shirt size. Is this the best way to lay this out. In the Order Form what is the best way to add a freight box between Sub-Total & Total where you can type the freight in and it's automatically added to the Total Box
Have a look over the db and let me know what ya's think.
I am working on a database to keep track of meter readings from several meters. Am at the table design stage and have come up with two seperate table designs but am wondering what would be best.
Each individual 'Meter' tracks more than one 'Fuel'. All of the regular meter readings should occur on the last day of the the month. The difference between the current month's reading and the reading from the previous month is the usage for the current month.
Though rare, there are occasions when there could be adjustments to the meter. A meter may be reset to 0 or to any other number due to a number of issues (replacement, maintenance).
The usage for a Meter-Fuel combination calculated by the current meter reading & previuos meter reading is assigned to current readings' date, As readings should onlt be taken at the end of the month, all other readings should be adjustments ONLY!
I think that the second version is the way to go, since I would still have to create a query to join data from both the reading and adjustment tables in the first design that would look like the data above.
Here what I consider to be the drawbacks to either table structure
Version 1 The first version requires more complicated queries to calculate the difference between meter readings.
Version 2 The second version will require some coding/querying to make sure that there are always two adjustment records for one date and determining which is the pre-adjustment and post-adjustment meter reading since it may not be true that the meter is reset to zero; it may even be set at number higher than the pre-adjectment reading.
Any thoughts on which design is better? Or any problems I could run into later with designing forms/queries/reports that perhaps I have not thought through?
I'm having some problems with VBA code I'm writing that references a subform. I'm pretty new to VBA and am not sure what the problem could be. The parent form (TrackingForm) tracks dates different tasks were completed. The subform (Child2) tracks exceptions that also need to be marked completed. I need ALL dates to be marked as completed before the entire tracking record can be marked as completed.
I have the following code entered into the OnFocus event of the tracking records Me.Completed_Date field:
Private Sub Completed_Date_GotFocus() If IsNull(Closing_Date) Or IsNull(Package_Received) _ Or IsNull(Upload_By) Or IsNull(Initial_Review_Date) _ Or IsNull(Me.Child2.Form![Date Exception Completed]) Then Me.Completed_Date.Locked = True MsgBox "Completed Date cannot be entered - outstanding items.", vbOKOnly, "Warning!" Else: Me.Completed_Date.Locked = False End If End Sub
What ends up happening is that, if there is more than one exception record on Child2, the code only seems to care if one of the records (usually the first record) has something entered in the [Date Exception Completed] field. I can't seem to make it look at any successive records in Child2 to ensure they are also completed prior to unlocking the Me.Date_Completed field. I have googled this extensively over the last day and the only response that seems to recur involves using a Recordset function that I have never used and am unsure how to.
I recently changed the code to a case statement which recoded a value into a new field
i.e.
Case = 1 Me.Field2 = 2
and so on...
However the old data would not reflect this change as the Me.Field2 value had already been created.
Short of opening each form, changing a number closing it and then changing it back to original value, it there any way to get the database to rerun all the code in the background essentially?
I have created a button to save changes and to undo changes on a form. However if the user has not made any changes, i get a message saying that the Undo command is not available and the same with save changes.
Therefore if no changes had been made i would like to just ignore that part of the action and continue with the rest of the event procedure.
Does anybody know of a site where you can download/modify/use pre-made databases files? I am looking to create a basic database to store survey details about signage on site for 200 sites. Details i need to include are Site, Sign, and Components.... I think the database itself would be fairly standard, even if the fields needed tweaking I don't want to invest the time into this if there is something I could use already out there
Im fairly new to MS Access and have recently created a simple database to track the details of people in my department.
The database is on a shared drive and the idea was that when the details of the individual change, they open the database themselves and edit the appropiate field.
However, is it possible to track the changes that people make over a certain period (ie every month).
I've made my mde file from a mdb which is fine apart from the fact that I can still view all the tables and queries and more to the point able to change them. Has anyone come across this before, if so how can it be fixed?
I need to know if there is anyway to view any changes made to the security workgroup file I have with my database. I need to know when or if someone is changing it to allow someone else full access to the database, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was editing one of my tables in datasheet view and when I closed the table, Access asked me if I wanted to save changes. But I didn't make any changes to the design of the table or the filters I had set up. I just edited the data within datasheet view. The reason this is bothering me is that I am afraid I accidentally changed something. The only explanation I have for why it asked me if I wanted to save changes, is that I used the "undo" command to cancel a typo that I made while editing in datasheet view. When I hit "undo", it fixed the typo, and scaled back up to the first record of the datasheet. At first I thought using the "undo" command might have been the culprit, but when I re-opened the table and used the "undo" command again, it undid the change, but it didn't scale back up to the first record of the datasheet, like it did the first time I used the command. Anyway, I am staying away from the undo command from now on. It's about worthless in Access anyway, because it only undoes your last action. Have any other Access users been asked to save changes when they know they haven't made any changes to the design of the table?
I have two tables Tbl_Referrals and Tbl_CMSData. Both of these tables have an identifier in called ConflictID. I have created a query which selects the records from both tables where the conflict ID is the same.
I have a form running this query. Down one side of the form i have all the details from Tbl_CMSData and on the otherside of the Form i have the corresponding details from Tbl_Referrals. I need the user to be able to update field by field from Tbl_CMSData to TblReferrals. This is done by means of a simple update query for each field. This all works fine.
Problem - I need an undo button for each field. Me.Undo does not work becuase the changes have been made by a query and not on the form.
Is there a way of undoing what the query has updated? Possibly by setting the focus to a Tbl_Referrals and then undoing the changes?
I was wondering if there is a simple way to check if any changes have been made to a record when the form is closed because I would like to create a log of records that were changed. I'm sure I could create some variables to store the fields when the form is opened then check if they're still the same when the form closes, but I figured there's probably already a built-in way of doing this (since the undo button must obviously use it)
I need a special messagebox witch returns integer value to public variable.
now I have made it the problem is how to use it.
In Sub where the messagebox form is opened the Sub should wait until it get the response from messagebox_form. That is because this sub will save it in the table.
So how to get te sub to stop and wait until the public variable is changed
(if I use some kind of loop I can't use the form at the same time)
