Start Option /WRKGRP C:...system.mdw

Feb 10, 2006

I am trying to force the user into a specific .mdw but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the exact entry from the shortcut properties:

"C:Documents and SettingswbDesktopSecurity_BB_Project.mdb" /WRKGRP " G:WorkgroupsProject FilesBB_Project.mdw"

As you can see the .mdb is local but the .mdw is on a network drive. The db opens up but it is not using the right .mdw.

Thanks

Forms :: Option Button Traffic Light System

Aug 1, 2013

I have set up a group of 3 buttons to select between on my form which works fine.

However I want this to be a bit more visual than it is so Id like to introduce a traffic light system which lights up RED ORANGE or GREEN depending on which one has been checked.

I am not too sure how I would go about achieving this, im not sure if you can import images and hide them or show them depending on the selection or if it requires something further.

Tables :: Primary Web Based Inventory System - Update Raw Data From Another System

Mar 13, 2014

I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.

Blank Option (radio) Buttons In Option Group

Aug 18, 2006

I am using an Access database for a foreign language dictionary project.

One of the forms I use is populated by a query (qryLemmaTable) to retrieve information from tblLEMMA.

This form works precisely as I intend it to work, but there is a glitch on it that is driving me mad.

The form in question has an option group with 11 radio buttons that correspond to the parts of speech associated with each word in tblLEMMA.

When I click on the button optAdjective I apply a filter and the only records that are displayed are adjectives. (The same applies for Nouns, Verbs, Prepositions etc.)

Here is the glitch: even though the radio buttons apply the filter correctly, no “black spot” appears in the button. Other signals on the screen let me know what word type is selected, so I can accomplish what I want, but I want the “black spots” too!

Perhaps this will be a clue: For each radio button I use the following code in the GotFocus event.
Me.FilterOn = False
Me.Filter = "wordtype = 'A'" ‘(or N, etc)
Me.FilterOn = True

And this for the Lost Focus event
Me.FilterOn = False

Thanks for the help.

Select Option Group Option Based On Checkbox Value

Aug 22, 2005

Hi

I've got an Option Group with 3 options; Yes, No and Future.

I also have a range of Check Boxes; 1 for every day of the week.

When one of the check boxes is selected I want the Option Group to change to Yes.

Currently, the Option Group defaults to Future and No will only be available by manually selecting it. This doesn't need to be changed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Forms :: Option Group - Warn User When Neither Of 2 In Option Group Not Ticked?

Jul 25, 2013

I stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".

[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]

The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.

Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.

Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.

Where To Start?

Dec 19, 2007

This is my first project using Access so take it easy on me. I'm trying to convert the Excel application to Access since I think Access is more flexible/powerful. I'm not sure if this requires programming (VBA-over my head) or just need some complex formulas to get the mission accomplished.

The objective is to be able to copy and paste data from a customized form directly to Access. These data will automatically be added into a summary sheet based on volume and amount.

Thank you in advance.

Where Do I Start?

Feb 8, 2008

Im looking at creating a database which includes some sort of diary system but I havent got a clue where to start, how to structure the tables, etc.

I am new to our company so I am looking to streamline some of their processes. Basically there are 4 people in our department and at the moment we use Excel as a mini diary system for our work on a day to day basis (our company uses Lotus Notes not Outlook and the diary system is a load of cr*p, plus also I want to integrate this into a database I have already written for our developers). Going down the page we have a section for each week which contains 4 rows (1 for each person). There is then 5 columns in each section which represents Monday to Friday. Our office administrator then goes in each month and updates the dates manually for the entire month.

Do I need to have a row in my database for every day of the year or is it done in weeks? I did a search for Access diary threads but there doesnt seem to be much info and the example one on iSam seems to have been taken off :(

Not Sure Where To Start.

Dec 7, 2006

Hello all,

I am new to Access and I could really use some help to point me in the right direction. I want to organize my tables properly from the start so I do not run into problems down the road. If anyone can give me some advice on topics to read it would be a big help. Here is what I am doing so far.

My database must record warranty claims. A customer could have multiple warranty claims with multiple parts that failed. Each part can be linked to multiple failures but in a claim one part and one failure must be selected.

Example: A motor can fail in many ways but I need to know how it failed for this customer.

I would like to be able cascade the combo boxes so when a part is selected the failures related to that part are updated.

TblClients
ClientID AutoNum PK (1-many with tblMain)
CustomerName text
Address text
(rest of the customer data fields)

TblParts
PartID AutoNum Pk (1-Many with tblMain)
Part text
PartDescription text

TblFailure
FailureID AutoNum Pk (1-many with tblmain)
Failure text
FailureDescription text

TblMain
ClientID
PartID
FailureID


I guess my question is when I make a form based off TblMain, do I need a partfailure table to let me cascade my combo boxes?

Thanks for any help,
Mark

SQL Server... Where Do I Start?

Jul 20, 2005

I've downloaded and installed the new SQL server 2005 express edition CTD (June ed.) along with the Express Manager.

How do i get an access database into SQL server?

Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?

i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...

do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?

I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...

I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....

Please help me...

New Challange, Not Sure Where To Start

Jun 12, 2006

Good day all. A bit of back ground, I've built a data base (with much help from the folks here) to track the training of my people. Someone way higher then me has decided to completely revamp our field training. There are now two "tiers" based on rank and training level. My first thought is to make two seperate tables for the information in each tier. What I would like to do is make the training specific to each tier show up on the form that I use to track this training based upon the persons rank. Ie an Airman would only show the tier one tasks and a Master Sergeant would show the tier two tasks. I'm thinking this could be done with a quiery but have no idea how to go about it. Any input or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance, Tim

Start And End Date

Apr 20, 2006

How would you make two prompt boxes which ask for the start and end date so you can select all the data between the two dates...

[Start Date?] And [End Date?]

E.g., 01/01/2006 And 07/01/2006
So I can select all the data between that week. I also need to use this for the remaining weeks in January and February. This is really simple...gah. Thanks guys.

Does Not Start With A Letter

Oct 15, 2007

Hi All:given a table with, let's say, Job Numbers that start with a letter (such as RES2345) or just plain numbers (such as 253180001 or 9817) how can I set the criteria in the query to just give me jobs that start with a number?I first trimmed the field to eliminate blank characters and then I used the Not Like "A - Z" but it still gives me jobs with letters at the beginning of the name.thanks for all your help in advance. :D

Start-up Query After Log-in

Apr 23, 2008

In my db I have a password log-in for each user. During the log-in process, I have a query set to run:

Code:SELECT tblSetOut.LogNum, tblSetOut.WoNum, tblSetCont.SetContName, tblSetOut.OrdAssign, tblSetOut.WoStat, tblSetOut.ThirdParty, tblSetOut.DateIn, tblSetOut.DateOut, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeIn, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeOut, (DateDiff("n",[ThirdTimeIn],[ThirdTimeOut]))/60 AS [Release if Greater than 24]FROM tblSetCont INNER JOIN tblSetOut ON tblSetCont.SetContInitials = tblSetOut.SetContInitialsWHERE (((tblSetOut.WoStat) Not Like "released" & "*") AND ((tblSetOut.ThirdParty)=True));
It opens up in read-only form that the user can print or exit out of.

What I need to happen is for the query to run based on the user's log-in name. There are three tables involved (tblSetOut, tblSetCont, and tblSecurity). The tbl SetOut and tblSetCont are joined at the field SetContInitials. The tblSecurity (field SC_NAME) is joined to tblSetCont at SetContName.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to capture the log-in name to filter the query.

Thank you in advance

I Can't Start Access. Please Help.

Jun 11, 2007

This may sound a bit silly, but my Access 2003 refuses to start.

I recently re-installed Office 2003 after a fresh installation of WinXP. Word, Excel etc work as normal. This is the message that comes up when I attempt to start Access:

"Please wait while Office 2003 Prof. Ed. configures. Required data is being determined"

after that nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Please note that I'm using the German versions of OS and Office. My translation probably doesn't match the original message.

Thanks in advance.

Batch File To Start DB

Nov 10, 2005

Hi

I want to use a batch file to start the DB. This will check if the Front End is on the users machine and if not copy it over.

It will then check what version of Access they are running and use the appropriate shortcut to open the Database.

This all works fine except that the Batch File does not close down until the Database is closed. Is there anyway to close the Batch File automatically while the database is running?

The Batch file I am using is

@echo off
rem *************************************
rem ** Batch file to copy FE **
rem *************************************

rem ** Copy Database **

if not exist "c:DB" md "c:DB"
if not exist "c:DBFE.mdb" copy "NetworkPathFE.mdb" "c:DBFE.mdb"
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office10
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office11
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" goto Office

:Office10
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:Office11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:Office
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End

:End
Exit

Any ideas?
