Update 1 record from query Upload Images Link

Good afternoon, I have HR database that I use to track employees throughout my company. The employee can be assigned to multiple directorates (offices, boards) throughout my company; however, they can only be appointed to the specific directorate once. I have 5 tables (ParentOrg, Directorate, Personnel, Appointment, Action). Each table has an autonumber ID field and I have created a composite key (SSN & DirectorateID) to ensure employees are only appointed once to any directorate. The trouble I am having is creating a relationship from the Appointment table to the Action table. Although an employee can only be appointed once to a specific directorate, they can have multiple actions (promotions, training, awards, etc). I have created an Appointment Code for each appointment (DirectorateCode-LastName, FI) through a query, but I am having difficulty getting this query to update the individual record in the Appointment table. This is the foreign key that will be used to link the Appointment table and Action table (1-many relationship). I'm sure it is something simple I am missing. I'm not well versed in VBA or SQL, but I am joining this forum as Platinum member so I can learn as much as I can. I appreciate your assistance.

Hi Cita, and welcome. It's difficult to understand exactly what you're trying to do because we're not familiar with your table and field names. Sounds like you've got the right setup for your employees and directorates. As far as appointments and actions go, those should be simple many-to-many relationships with a junction table for each. Are you familiar with how to set that up? If not,

I purchased an Access Data Base from a similar company in the same industry. For some reason I cannot get the dot matrix to print the report I require. I get an error. The debug message is "DoCmd.Open Report strRpt Name, adView Preview ,,, acWindowNormal, Clm (Report Parmeter) Docmd.Print0. Does any one have an idea as to how to fix this. The printer does print from other programs (Note Pad, for example)

Have you tried making your own simple print command and seeing if it works?

Something super simple like
DoCmd.OpenReport "ReportName",acViewPreview

can add this to make it print automatically to the default printer
DoCmd.PrintOut ,,,,1

Then could close the preview too
DoCmd.Close acReport, "ReportName"

As far as your debug message, is that how it looks in your code? If so you have some spaces where you shouldn't, misspellings, and no quotations it looks like.

Help Building Database Upload Images Link

We are a trucking company and have brokers/shippers and our contract drivers. I've started a database where we can input load and shipper information via a form and create invoices. I want to now implement pay stubs for our drivers which would include all their loads for a given pay period, charge backs and their net pay. I'm looking for someone willing to support me through the many road blocks I came across as I build, and of course am willing to pay for the support. Thanks!

If thats all the code you have you are missing stuff. Watch the extended cut again, mainly from 22minutes onward and see if that helps

I've moved this post to the Access Developer Network. If you want someone to work on your database for you, post it here, not in the general Access Forum. See Rule #5.

Hello Michelle, sorry, I don't have the free time right now to look at your database. If you're looking to pay a fee to get it done I can make some time but stuff like this is best learned with trial and error on your own. Rick shows all the code you need in the video, if you have that in exactly, it works.

Help needed with a search box Upload Images Link
Nicole Muller

Hi, I'm just learning Access and I have one major obstacle that I can't figure out how to solve. I'm hoping a more advanced developer can help. I have one table with client names and information. I have another table with referrals. Each client can have multiple referrals. I'm trying to build a search box where I can search to see if a client already exists and if they do, add the new referral. If they are not found in the search, it means I need to add a new client. I've tried to do this with having the client lookup in the top of the form and the referral information in a subform. If I use a combo box, it wants me to choose someone and doesn't like if I don't make a choice. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thank you.

Adam Schwanz

You can do this with a text box and an after update event. It's going to take some VBA coding. The text box searching is covered in Access Dev 8 (it's search as you type with key press but can be used on after update) you would just need to add in a DLOOKUP in the afterupdate event, if it returns null then some code to open up your new client form. If you're just beginning this is probably out of your current scope of understanding. I'd suggest just keep going with the lessons and learning, if it's that urgent me or some of the other devs on here do consults for hire, but it's going to be more rewarding in the end if you kept learning.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your speedy response. I'm glad this is something that can be programmed. You are right that it's out of the scope of my present learning. I do plan to continue classes so that I can manage and make changes to the database. I am interested in learning more about your fee for service. I'm a social worker and am trying to learn this so that I can better serve and understand the client need and referral trends. So, I am trying to learn and build this on top of a 50-60 hr week.
