I am try to build a small invoicing interface in access 2007. I have designed a purchase invoice form with a table purchase_detail. When I receive products from supplier, products have a specific batch # on its cover.
I entered products in purchase invoice with these batch #. Now when I sale these items through sale invoice form, I need to get batch # automatically in batch # box from purchase_detail.
I am working with a table where I want to be able to add choose the customer name from a dropdown and have the customer number automatically populate. I set up the dropdown already using the query builder for customer name and it works perfectly. I also chose customer number in the query, but it does not show.
Even better, in case of duplicate names, I would like to be able to select the customer number and have the name populate.
So ultimately, when I select either field, I want the other to auto populate...
I have 3 tables:
Student Info:
Student ID (Primary Key)
Name etc.
Assignment Info:
Assignment ID (Primary Key)
Assignment Number
Criteria Number
Grades:
ID (Primary Key)
Student ID - Linked to [Student ID]
Assignment ID
Criteria Number
Grade
What I would like to do is be able to link the tables in such a way that for each student entered in the Student Info table, entries are automatically entered into the grades table for each assignment criteria.
For example:
Assignment 1 has criteria 1.1, 6.3, 7.2, Assignment 2 has 4.2, 3.3
When John Smith is entered in student info, the grades table is automatically updated with 5 new entries in the form:
John Smith - 1 - 1.1 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 6.3 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 1 - 7.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 4.2 - Enter Grade
John Smith - 2 - 3.3 - Enter Grade
That way I can have a form that automatically shows the possible criteria for each assignment on the sub form for each available student without having to type it in each time.
Your help would be wonderful
I want to automatically hide all the tables in the database, and automatically hide any new tables that are created, imported thereafter, except one mastertable.
How do i achieve this?
Im trying to make a basic customer database and pos system. The part iam having trouble with is, I have two tables as follows:
Inventory: orders(invoices):
productId ProductId
amount (in stock) amount(sold)
pricePerUnit CashTendered
I want the amount(in stock) sold in each order to be deducted from the total in the amount(sold) automatically.
Is there any way for a table to refresh on its own after entering a new record?
I tried me.requery but it doesn't seems to work...
A field in a table can be populated by a lookup up but it has to be done manually or with a form.A "new" table can be created with a query that matches the data.
Is it possible to skip these steps and create a field that automatically populates with the data from another table based on other common data?I can do this in Excel but not sure it can be done in Access.
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:
White
Black
Grey
VW
BMW
Audi
Merc
Okay I had an idea and I thought I might get ffedback as I am relatively new to this. I went through a period a couple of years ago when I used access alot and was becoming familiar with VBA etc but I havent touched it in 2 years so Im pretty rusty.
I am running a study and need to have to create a database that:
a. collects data about participants
b. Has a number of questionnaires (5), each of which can be filled out by participants.
THe main table has a number of fields that collects info about the participants the most important of which will be the ParticipantID - an automatically generated number which is my primary key.
In table 2/form 2 I will host questionnaire one. This will be linked to Table 1/Form 1 (Particpant Information) by this tables primary key - also the Participant ID. The relationship will be 1:1. Each participant can only have one Participant ID and will only need to fill out questionnaire one once.
Is it possible that when I add a new participant to the Participant Information table/form I also automatically create a record in Table 2/Form 2 (Questionnaire 1), as well as Table 3/Form3 (Questionnaire 2) and so on so that they have the same ParticipantID...?
I was reading a similar query somewhere else and they said to use the Form_AfterInsert Event command? Is this right (see here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1687644.php)?
I feel a bit stupid but I am willing to learn and try new things Once I get started I think I will be okay. If you could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I have a simple and small database having only one table. I want the data table to be exported in a spreadsheet format automatically at the end of the month. Is there any code or function to do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn our company, passwords expire every 90 days (NO EXCEPTIONS) for DB2. This means that all my linked tables can't be accessed. There are many other users using the DB's and when I have to reset my password, I get locked out a lot because I can't seem to re-link the tables fast enough. It also seems that "refreshing" the tables from the Linked Table Manager doesn't work very well.
Is there an easier way??????
Don't know where this question will rank. Completely weird or completely common.
I've been getting great suggestions from this forum, one of them was to begin creating seperate tables for our data (I'm currently cleaning up a mess created 10 years ago for a nonprofit). The best way I have found to link/associate/whatever tables is to use their STUDENT identification number (since this value never changes). So we linked tests to that number (many tests to each student) by entering each new test as a seperate item with a manually entered stu id. We linked TUTOR and so forth the same way. But now I would like to start linking some more things. Particularly INSTRUCTION HOURS.
The question I have is this. How do I automatically create a value in the HOURS table that links to the value (stu id) in the STUDENT table. So that every student (previous and new) will have ONE associated HOURS set each time new student data is entered.
I have a table of nursery school children, names, addresses etc etc. One field is Under 2? Is there a validation rule (or something like) that will automatically put Yes (or No) depending on today's date and the child's date of birth?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI made a bunch of tables by importing them from excel. Then I had someone ask me a question regarding a specific instrument. My tables have a bunch of parts and id's but I don't have the instrument associated with a specific part in the table.
Is it possible to add the data into the new column automatically using a query. I tried the append query, but I'm either doing it wrong or it won't do what I'd like it to do. I just want every record within that table to have the same instrument in an instrumentId column.
I have an access file which connects to an ODBC database, and I want it to update at a set time interval.
I searched through the internet, and noticed that most solutions require a form and putting the requery macro in the form's events.
My file doesn't need a form, its only function is to act as a medium to store the data from ODBC and lets a BI Tool play around with it.
My question is, how do I make the access file update automatically at a timely interval (every 30 mins, 1 hr etc.). Is it necessary to create a form?
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
Hey all. I posted this over at Mr. Excel too on the Access forums, but I thought maybe someone from this site might know the answer to my question.
I know pivot tables and charts are more up Excel's ally, but my question has more to do with Access I think. I've made a pivot table form from a query and everything is working fine except one thing. I want the table to refresh automatically. I don't want the user to have to go in and refresh the data manually.
I'm thinking I could put something on the forms "On Open" event but I don't know the specific coding. If anyone has any idea on this, I'd greatly appreciate some feedback.
I am working on a database at my workplace. We have a list of available IP adresses that can be used for printers, not all of which are in use currently.
I have a table for the printers at each branch, and that printer's IP address.
I have an IP addresses table that contains all available IPs, a domain name field, and a yes/no field entitled "In Use?"
I want my IP address table to check my printer table, and put 'yes' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address exists in both tables, or a 'no' in the "In Use?" field if the IP address is not currently assigned to a printer.
Can this be done, and if so, how?
Much appreciated,

Hi, I have a problem, I have a table were I list networkservices and their logical ports and I have another table were I list IPaddresses used by different machines. I'm using a multivalued lookupfield to pick which services I'm using for each Ipaddress, and thats working fine, but now I want to make the ports which is listed in another column, to automatically show in it's own column in the IPaddresses table depending on which services I'm choosing for the different IPaddresses. Is this possible?, and if it is how can I make this happen?

I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
I have an employee and asset database. If an employee gets fired, I need remove them from the general employee records, but I want to save a record of that employee. Is there a way to delete an employee from one table and have it automatically added to another table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne table contains UserID and information related to the user. Another table has been created and will be populated by a form. Basically the form asks approx 65 questions and I need the answers (for each question) to populate the table, so 65 records of data.
From everything I have read, for me to be able to pull all of the answers linked to the UserID (the person answering the questions), the UserID has to be in the table with each record. How do I link the UserID to each line automatically. To give you a bigger picture, I will have 5 users going into the database daily to answer the questions and I will need to link the user ID to each of the answers selected by each user. Over time, there will be thousands of records and I need to pull stats by UserID.
How do I create the form so that the answers to each question creates 65 separate records. Do I have to create a save button after each question?
