Adding Fields Based On Values In Other Fields
Jun 6, 2007
Hi,
I am creating a small database to house results of certain tests. Is there a function in access that allows me to add fields if a result is out of the specification required. In other words I still need to record the out of spec results but I also need more fields to appear for the next lot of results to be entered, for example.
When cooking a batch of product I need to test the pH at the 30 minute mark if the pH is too low I will continue cooking the product for another 30 minutes and then test the product again. The cook time is not a constant so I never know how many samples are required, therefore I don't know how many fields i would need in advanced.

Hello: Is there (simple) way that I can populate a field based on the values of two other fields? For example, in a list of new employees, if a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in the Administration Department, his human resources contact is Mary. If a new employee starts on Nov 30 and works in Sales, his contact would be Fred. I hope this is clear! Many thanks!

Hi there
I have an ASP form that saves numerical data to an access database via an insert statement in the asp page.
The main problem i have is that i have some code that adds all the stored values together and provides a total on the screen for the user to print off.
I would like to save this 'total' value to a field in the table but cannot seem to get this to work.
So i thought of running a query in access that would add the sum total of a number of fields and store it to the total field.
Is this possible and how would i go about it?
Cheers

I've got a table with data that's been imported from Excel. I need to run a query that pulls the same values of field one and adds the values of field 2. For instance:
Field 1; Field 2
Jones; 200
Smith;150
Jones; 300
Smith;100
In this example, I need the sum of field 2 for the records where Jones is the value in field 1.
So the result in this case is that records where Field 1 = Jones, Field 2 = 500.

I've put together a database for my company to track our archived files. When the files are archived, there are three important values pertaining to their location: a list number, a box number, and a barcode number.
Each box has a barcode on it, so what I'd like to do is make it so that when any record has both a list and box number entered (since it is dependent on the list number to know which, for example, "Box 1" I'm entering information for), it would automatically insert the appropriate barcode number in the field. It would obviously need a seed for each barcode number to be entered before it would know which one to use, but that could either be based on the first unique entry, or entered another way. If anyone can help me do this, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if my description was insufficient or confusing, just let me know and I'll try to clear it up. Thanks!
Example:
If I entered:
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4
It might not know what the barcode is the first time. But once I had entered
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4 366582
It would know what I was entering. Keeping in mind that I'm not showing the rest of the record, but just this end part, my next entry would look like:
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4 366582
77 4 366582
...the red representing that it would automatically fill that in, because it knows that if I'm talking about Box 4 in List 77, that must be the barcode.

Hi guys,
I have a question I've been trying to figure out with no luck. I have 2 fields, companyname and zip, these 2 fields may have duplicate values or they may be uniquei.e.
companyname zip
billybobs 68135
dilberts 68137
billybobs 68135
what I need to do is delete all of the duplicate records where both companyname and zip match. Is there a way I can do that with a query?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
James

I am working on form where the user selects either "IN" or "OUT" from a dropdown of field name "CheckOut" in Frm1.
If they select "OUT" they will in turn need to fill in 2 additional fields. When they change the value back from "OUT" to "IN",
I want those other fields to be cleared of data for just this record so next time they change back to "OUT" from "IN" those 2 additional fields are already blank.

I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code:
SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay
FROM [Tble-wcDelays]
GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID
HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
That is the query.

I reached the limit of 255 fields in a table. I just need to add one more field so I deleted several fields I no longer needed thinking I would then be able to add one more new field. However, I am still unable to add one more field. How to free up fields that are no longer needed?

I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy.
I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device".
The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
DEVICES:
NameDescriptionAssetIP
XserveFile Server107203.30.144.75
ProliantXDHCP119203.30.144.15
IP:
AddressIP TypeDevice
203.30.144.75Static
203.30.144.15Static
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
thank you
-Tim

I have main form and that has one sub-form , this Main form governs/determines the data in the sub form.
This Sub form ( DataSheet Mode) has approximately 130 columns and based on the Main form criteria only ~ 20 columns has to be filled.
What I want to do is based on the main forms criteria I want to show only the columns that are applicable to main form criteria.
If I use Columnar or Tabular single form for the Sub Form I am able to hide the fields that are not required BUT IT LEAVES A SPACE/GAP on form ( for the hidden fields that are not required)
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Forms!frmShowPIforActiveAndCanAddNewPI!FrmSubFrmFi lterProductInformationPerFMT!CASETIF = True Then
Me.CASETIF.Visible = True
Else
Me.CASETIF.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
And If I use DataSheet and hide ( visible = no) a particular filed it still shows up in Sub Form
Is there a way to Auto-Re Arrange all the fields in the sub form so that the hidden ( visible = no) fields no not leave gap
Or is there a way by VBA program to select fields ( Columns) from a table to be displayed on a sub form based on a criteria
Thanks

I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.

My company has a microsoft access table with about 1200 IDs containing names, addresses etc.
Now I want to print this out in an excel sheet because I want to create address stickers, but I want every cell in the excell sheet to add information about the columns in the database together. I might be very unclear, let me demonstrate what I mean:
The Acess file might look like this:
id | name | address
1 | john | Street 01
2 | sara | Street 02
Now I want to have 2 excell cells which contain the information like this:
name_address
name_address
In my example, 2 cells with the following information:
john Street 01
sara Street 02
So I dont want 4 cells, I want to add the information together from 1 Id to 1 cell, but I also want to add linebreaks to it, It must eventually become an address sticker
How can this be done?

Hello, I have what I believe to be a very basic, albeit wordy question regarding an Access based mailing list that I am designing. For the scope of this project, I have 7 fields: Position (the position of the person recieveing the mailer, So far all I have is the "Principal", these are all schools) Name (The name of the school), Address, City, State, Zip and SchoolID (this is the primary key and will be hidden)
My question is: How can I add multiple positions per School (Name)? I need to add 1st through 6th grade teachers as well as the councilor to each location. So each of these people will be sent a mailer. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions needed.
Thank you

Hi,
I have tried to add up fields in a table but am struggling to get it to work. Can anyone help please.
In design view of tables, I have four fields (that I will be using in a a form eventually);
RaffleIncome
AlmsIncome
OtherIncome
TotalIncome
I want to get the TotalIncome field to automatically be the total sum of any or all of the other three.
I have tried putting =[RaffleIncome]+[Almsincome]+OtherIncome} in the control box of the TotalIncome field (a guess) in a form I made, and it gives me the total sum of the others three but does not save when I look at it in the table view. (that is, the TotalIncome column remains £0.00)
I am learning as I go along and am okay figuring some stuff out, but this has got me a bit frustrated, and I guess I cannot see the wood for the trees !
Thanks anyone
Adrian

All,
I am using an Make-Table query to add many new fields to a Table using Fieldname: "".
However, when I use this, it sets the Allow Zero Length to No.
Is there code that I can use to stop this happening?
I am using this method for multiple fields and across multiple tables.
Your help appreciated,
