I have just devised a simply database but as usual when using it I found that I had left out some information.
To simplify - I could for example, make a drop down menu with the letters a-z but when finished realised that I had left out the letters K, L & R. How do I insert the missing data into the already created list?
I want a help in adding data to a table w/o writing the whole word.
e.g. if a word like " Medical " need to be repeated in many records, how can i add it w/ just typing the letter "M" and the whole word will show up? like what’s happening in ms excel.
I am using a database prepared by someone. But it seems that when i try to add data to a form I am not able to do that. Neither can I edit it. For both these purposes I need to use the table . i.e for adding records and for editing too. Is it possible anyway that I can change the record in form it changes in the table as well. or I will have to work with tables all the time
Hi i am a doctor dabbling in ms access and trying to make myself a database of patients. I have 2 forms named new and followup where i would add the data accordingly. I have a primary key named TSCID that is autonumber in the new patient form. I wanted to know how can i program my followup form in such a way that if i put in the TSCID as the foreign key and add that data, some other data such as name, age, gender, address, etc can be auto entered and it can remain modifiable. thanks Vinay:)
I have a form, created from a query. The query contains and links about six tables using an AutoNumber ID. The query also has fields from each of these tables.
OK, so when users enter their data into this form, I would like the autoincremented number to increase in each of these tables. The catch is that when the user enters data, he/she does not have to enter data into every field. Therefore, not every table will contain information. But there will be times later on that some of that information will become available and will need to be placed on the appropriate spot (based on the ID number.)
So, some of my tables do not auto-increment and some do. How should I go about resolving this so that when someone enters new data, each table's ID is autoincremented no matter if that table contains information immediately or not? Please Help.:confused:
hi I had a form with TO,DATE,BODY and a button . on click of a button this fileds should get added to a table. I have created a table with same fields. Thanxx
I need to make a payment based on the latest Verify Number to a specific person so i am trying to create a form that is focused around a person, looks up the latest Verify number and can make a new payment number to add new payments.
In my tables, it works perfectly excluding the latest Verify number whereas i do not have any filters set. The Verify numbers can change which is why i need to make a new payment based on the latest Verify number. Using this number, i can add many payments to a Payment Number and add many Payment Numbers to a Verify Number for example:
John Verify NumberGo4566546 Payment Number 44 Payments101Work carried out £800 102Delivery costs £100 103Material Cost £400 Payment Number 49 Payment 168 Work Carried out £700 170Work Carried out£450 Verify Number Go4566952 Payment Number 50 Payments171Work Carried Out£900 177Work Carried Out£500 Steve Verify Number Go5877654 Payment Number 51 Payments178Cleaning£120
My Tables are linked as follows: Person Table( name of table ) PersonID( unique ID of that person )
Verify Table( name of table ) VerifyID( unique ID of the Verify Number ) PersonID( linking to Person Table )
PayNo Table( name of table ) PayNoID( unique Payment Number ) VerifyID( linking to Verify Table )
Payments( name of table ) PaymentID( unique Payment ID ) PayNoID( linking to PayNo table )
The Payments figures have no relevance as they are numbers given by the person to me so i do not need to link them, i only need to link the table they are entered onto.
I am trying to get this onto one form whereas i can see who i am paying, the latest verify number, the last payment number to the person and the last payments in a table. Then, i can click add a new payment number, and i can add a new set of payments t the newly created payment number.
hi, i am new to access and struggling so any help would be great...
i have a db with 3 tables. students contains a Primary Key ('studentid') and then 'firstname' and 'lastname' fields. The two other tables (contactdetails, coursedetails) have 'studentid' as a Primary Key and then they each have other fields.
I set up relationships between the tables (1 to 1) but i would now like to create a form that will allow me to enter data to all three tables at the same time. (this would be ideal as it keeps the data normalised) if this isn't possible i would like to create a form that adds the 'studentid' record to each of the tables.
let me know if you need anymore details but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be cool.
I was wondering if it was possible to do this, currently if I need to add a new record, I have to add it all in the tables section, this works fine but would be easier if it could be done through the switchoard somehow.
I want to have a query that I run at the end of each Month to track a workers production and to store that data in a table for each worker by month. Can this be done?
Something like
Worker Jan Feb Mar Mike 45 33 95 Sue 125 44 02
If this can be done could someone explain to me how to do this. I don't even know if a table can be used to keep stats over months and years.
Hi. I have a table with a NAME field and a GENDER field.
How would I code a query so that if the gender is MALE than MR. would be added to the front of the existing data in the NAME field? MRS. if gender is FEMALE?
i.e., the result would be MR. SMITH, MR. JONES, MRS. CARSON...
Please bear with me, first post, trying to get to grips with Access for work!
We (a primary school) had a "bespoke" database set up using MS Access by someone who has long left the area and now we need to make changes and I, as the most computer literate person on site, have been volunteered to make these changes.
My level is beginner (for now) and my first job is to add some new options to a "Titles" table, four columns, six records. Column1 = ID#, Column2 = Male Titles, Column3 = Female Titles, whilst Column4 seems to hold items from Columns 2 & 3.
If I add a futher option, I get the error "Can't perform cascading operation: Entry must be one of the Titles as featured in the drop-down box or in the Titles table.
Now, as far as I can tell, I HAVE added the new option to the Titles table, and they DO show in the drop down box in the main spreadsheet display, BUT the error comes back as soon as I try to confirm the new title.
This may be a very neebie question, but I have a form with drop downs for data choices. When an employee finishes with the selections, I would like all the data transferred to a table as a record. How would I go about doing this.
I have a Combo Box that places the Address into the given Address field. How can I have it place the second and third cloumns, from the Combo Box into the next two adjacent fields on the Form (Last Name & First Name)? Please describe in detail, not just code, but where a how it goes. I am new at this thing.
I have an existing FORM called Evaluations where you can select a trainer and a trainee from two different combo boxes. Once a name is selected from both of the combo boxes I click on an assign button and I want it to record those two names selected into my evaluations table in the Trainer_Name and Trainee_Name columns.
I have a query based on two tables and I have created a form based on that query. Now I want to take input in the form and then add that data to one of the tables, that the query is based on. How can I do that?
Table 1 has all of my unique data within it. People within this table may have watched the video once or several times. People within Table 2 have watched the video several times.
I want to add a flag for "Multi" to Table 1. And, where a person is not a "Multi" create a flag that reads "Single".
I've spent countless hours (probably days) trying to achieve this and have failed miserably. Whatever approach I take I end up creating a new table that just contains the "multi" people.
I suppose a field could be added to tblProspectSkill, and the command button code could include that field in the SQL, but I keep thinking there should be a better way than copying the values. However, my attempts to link have led either to multiplying the record count by 9 or a recordset that cannot be edited.
the idea is that a position in football will be assigned nine key skills that are important to the team that is thinking about acquiring that player. For a position (quarterback, for instance) there will be a master list of nine skills, along with an importance rating (1, 3, or 5, which is essentially high, medium, or low) for each skill.
Then the prospect (the player being considered) is assigned a position such as quarterback. A command button creates nine records in a Prospect Skills table that is related to the Prospect table. The nine records that are added are the nine skills described in the previous paragraph. Each skill in this listing is assigned a grade, which has a numerical value as well as a letter grade. The numerical value is then multiplied by the skills importance rating (1, 3, 5) and the results are then averaged for a final value.The difficulty I described in the first paragraph is that when I try to link to the importance rating I end up with 81 records (9 skills * 9, apparently), but I can't sort out how to change that in a writable query.
my problem is that when i make a booking on my booking page it all saves, but when i go to the table where the bookings should all be kept, they all dissappear and only the recent booking i have made shows.
I have tblCategory and tblExercise. The data in tblExercise can sometimes match with more than one record in tbCategory. When inputting data into tblExercise how can I choose to have that stored under more than one field in tblCategory?
Example:
tblCategory: Arms tblExercise: TRX Biceps Curls so TRX Biceps Curls can also be under tblCategory: TRX
Right now I have to input TRX Biceps Curls under Categories Arms and TRX. Very time consuming.
I have two tables that need to be updated in tandem from a single access-page, by entering previously non-existent data. One contains a contractor ID, and the name of the contractor; The other contains details of contracts, with the name of the Contractor selected from a drop-down box that draws its contents from the other table.
I have a data access page with an always visible drop-down box that shows contractors, and if I select one, it displays all contracts entered. This unfortunately means I cannot easily add new contractors, since they have no pre-existing contracts to display the details, and allow entering, and I cannot make the details fields permanently available.
Right now, I can add new contracts to those contractors who have at least one in the system already, but I'm unable to add new contractors. My aim is to have a single page add the contract data, and new contractors. Having a hyperlink open a new page that allows the adding of new contractors is also acceptable, but no coding, please, cause I suck at that...:(
