I'm new to MS Access, indeed database design as a whole.
I have been tasked with creating an issues logging database and am having some issues...
I have a table/form that has all the fields I want, including a unique ID, called "Issues". I want to be able to log multiple entries in another table called "emails". The trouble is I am not having much luck. I can create an entry in the issues Form which then shows in the emails but I can't then add another email under the same ID in the "Issues" table.
Basically I am inputting stock into my database so I can have a record of what I have left and who it's gone too. Where I'm stuck though is when I want to add an item that I have more than one off but only enter it once and have it assigned a unique stock ID number (this is in the form of an autonumber) for however much quantity I choose to enter. So for example I have 5 keyboards, I type in 'Keyboard' into my item field (named txtItem) and then type '5' into my quantity field (named txtQuantity). When I then press Add Stock (named btnAddStock) I should then see in the table, 5 separate Keyboards listed each with a different Stock ID number.
tblEmployees - Stores employee data tblProcess - Stores process data tblTraining - Stores data on which employees have trained on which process
tblEmployees has a 1 to many relationship to tblTraining through empID tblProcess has a 1 to many relationship to tblTraining through pcsID
When a new Process is added, a query auto populates tblTraining with 1 record for each employee in tblEmployees. Equally when a new Employee is added, a query auto populates tblTraining with 1 record for each Process in tblProcess.
In theory this should ensure that every employee has a training record for every process (and vice versa). However, as many of us know, never assume the user wont find a way to mess things up!
So i want to have a query that can show me Employee and Process without a training record. I have been manipulating a SELECT (SELECT) query to pull this together, but i just keep coming up blank.
I have attached a copy of the relevant tables and query. I have deliberately deleted a training record for empID 6 on pcsID 1 AND empID102 on pcsID 2 (qryCheckTrainingRecordsBalance will show the processes these 2 DO have a training record for).
Problem, ive got a work database which employees logon to and enter time against certain projects they have been working on. What i need is to somehow create some code that will look at each of the employees names and sum up there total time for the previous day. If this is less than say 6 hours of timesheets or even zero entries have been made, I want a pop up message to pop up as soon as they logon to the datatbase the next day and jsut mention they need to fill in there timesheets.
At the moment each person when they log on to the database has there name they logged in as, placed into a field (called "First Name") within form (called "Employee Startup Screen"). *** maybe use this as a way to identify who is logged on and when to run the code.***
Timesheet table has the following columns: Employee; Date; ProjectID; Timespent
PLEASE help im a noob at this and have tried using some code on a query that sums up the previous days times filter on a employee. When the "Employee Startup Screen" opens it runs the following code
Dim internal1 As Integer
internal1 = Me.SumOfTimeSpent
If internal1 < 6 Then
MsgBox " Less than 6 hours have been entered " & Chr(13) & " into your timesheet for yesterday. ", vbCritical, Title1
ElseIf DCount("*", Me.SumOfTimeSpent) <> 0 Then
end if
End Sub
----------------------------
BUT it doesnt work if no entries have been made on the timesheet as the query result is blank.
I have a table in access which is updated weekly; I need to create two tables from this updated table.
1st table will consist of all the new entries for the current week
2nd table will consist of all the entries from the previous week - an amalgamation of all the entries which are not from the "current week" (table) For example; the table below shows the two entries from last week.
ID Name
1 Adam
2 Ben
This week I have three new entries New entries
ID Name
3 Charles
4 Richard
So when I run the same query next week I will get something like this.
Old Entries ID Name
1 Adam
2 Ben
3 Charles
4 Richard
[code]....
How do I get a query /queries which divides up the weeks new entries and also all the old entries.
I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).
I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?
I am trying to create a database for estimating manhours on projects. There is a setup table with two columns: "Project" and "Time Period". The database is supposed to allocate manhours to tasks on projects, which is used in estimating man hour costs and also forecasting labour resource requirements.
For example, say the database is used for "Project X" and "Project Y" projects, with Project X running from Jan to March and Project Y running from Aug to Dec. The setup table would look like this:
PROJECT TIME PERIOD Project X Jan Project X Feb Project X March Project Y Aug Project Y Sept Project Y Oct Project Y Nov Project Y Dec
From this table, I need to automatically create a new table for each unique project that allows man power to be allocated to each time period. Following on with the example, there are two unique projects, so two tables need to be automatically created with column headings as per below:
Project X table: FUNCTION PERSON JAN FEB MARCH
Project Y table: FUNCTION PERSON AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC
"Function" is a description of a role, for example engineer. "Person" is the individual undertaking that role, for example Bob Jane. Then in each time period a number between 0 and 1 would be entered corresponding to how much time (0 is no time, 1 is full time) that person would be spending on that function for that time period. Then the table would be populated with many functions and people in this manner.
So the number of tables automatically created depends on how many unique projects there are in the "Project" field of the setup table. The number of columns in these tables will be atleast two: "Function" and "Person", plus another column for each time period defined for that project.
Perhaps something can be done with a make-table query, but all I can get that to do is copy data from one table straight into another table.
Policy table: Policy number(key),date and fund(4 possible strings of four letters) Last Price: date, fund, last price Next price: date, fund, next price
What would i have to do to make a table that has a policy number, date, fund, last price and next price?
Hi, I'm trying to import data from another database (codes), and the text field in that database is set to 7.
Our new database only needs the first 5 digits of the codes, so I'm wondering is it possible to create a query that filters any entries where the code field has more then 5 digits?
I am very new with access database. Want to create table with Dates & DayName. For example, tblYear2015 with all dates from 1-Jan-2015 to 31-Dec-2015 in FirstColumn and DayName in second column as per date of First Column. DayName Should be entered automatically as per date entered in first column.
What the database currently has: A payment entry form consistenting of many fields. This form populates a payment entry table. Some of the fields within the payment entry form are linked to other tables and queries for data (such as a recipient list).
What the database now needs: A group payment option. Should ten people attend a dinner, the total cost needs to be divided among the attendees, and then the payment entry form table populated with ten different entries and the subdivided cost of the dinner per person.
My thoughts: The most ideal thing to do is to have a hidden recipients window show up when the user indicates that this is for a group event. The user could then add all the additional recipients (beyond the primary which is already collected on the form), and the total amount for the meal. The database would then generate an entry for each recipient listed, dividing the total cost among them, and then simply duplicating the rest of the information as is.
I have attached a zipped excel workbook to best describe what I'm trying to do. I have table1 and table2 and I'm trying to write a query in access to get the output as shown in the workbook. I'm having hard time getting this right. I would appreciate your help if possible. Tks
Table A provides total sales volume of the UK shoe market from 2000-2007.
Table B provides the sales volume of different shoe manufacturers from 2000-07.
I want a third table created, called Table C. This should look exactly like Table B but instead of sales volume it shows percentage sales that are calculated by using the figures in Table A and B (i.e. [sales volume from Table B/total sales volume from Table A] * 100).
Could someone point me in the right direction please (assuming that such a table can be created, based on a calculation of figures in other existing tables).
Is it possible to create a query that asks for multi entries in one column .....
For example : If I have parts that I purchase and some of them get rejected I want to inform someone of those parts, these parts could be on order numbers, 1,2,8,10 ....
I cannot just search on rejected because some parts could have been reject say 2 weeks ago but new ones have not arrived yet so the flag "rejected" is still showing ....
Is it possible to set the criteria that when asked for the order number/s you could type in ,1,2,8,10 ....
I have a rotating number of tables that are created from excel spreadsheets that are imported. The Tables will change, but when they are there I need to be able to create a query that will merge them all together so I can run one query against all the tables. In SQL I know you can use a * to say Select * From Table_1
Is there a syntax for the From portion so I can say:
Select * From * (AKA all the tables in the Database)?
I have searched for a wildcard for the FROM statement that works like in the select statement but have been unsuccessful at finding an answer. Can anybody help? I'd list the Tables in the from Statement but there are 266 of them. Unless someone knows how to say:
Select * From All tables in a folder with 266 excel spreadsheets
I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help. I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger. Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages. Is this possible? My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table. Thanks, Dan
Table has a relationship with master table. Joined on TractID primary table - auto number, TractID child table - number. This works as it should when adding a new record.
What I am trying to do is create a new key for each new record added in the child table with an ID that looks like this: TractID.A, TractID.B, TractID.C etc. for each new record added in the child table. if so where do I look, how to accomplish it?
I am wondering if it is possible to automatically create a new field in one table whenever a new record is entered in another table. The name of the field would be the primary key entry of that new record.
I have one table (table 1) in which each record corresponds to a particular mouse with a unique ID number, and each field is the ID number of a particular genetic marker. The table overall shows what genotype (+ or -) a mouse has at each marker.
In the other table (table 2) the primary key of each record is the ID number of a genetic marker, and the fields are several different bits of information about the marker (e.g. what chromosome it's on, its location on the chomosome, etc.)
I would like to have it set up so that if I enter a new genetic marker in table 2 a field named after its marker ID will automatically appear in table 1. Is there a way to do this?
I'm trying to create a table with an entry for month/day, no year. I want to create a report that can will sort the birthdays based on month in ascending order.
I'm currently using the text field to put in, "10/30" or "1/3" but when I try to order the dates, instead of "1,2,3,4,5,6..." I get "1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3.." etc.
I created two tables, let's refer to them as Cars (VW, BMW and Audi) and Colours (White, Black and Grey).
Is it possible to create another table based on these tables - i.e. in the new table the rows will be the Cars and the columns the Colours as such:
White Black Grey
VW
BMW
Audi
And should I enter another Car or Colour in one of the first mentioned tables, then I would like this "new" table to update automatically. For example, if I have a new Car (say, Merc), then I would like the "new" table to update to the following:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details 1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table 1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.
