I designed a report(salary slip) with many controls(text boxes) in MSAccess 2016.
There are 2 tables Employee details and salary details.
Some controls that need data from employee details table and some from salary table.
I have 2 primary keys
Sl.No
Employee id
for both the tables.
and I have connected the employee id through relationship.
How to specify the expression in the text boxes so that i get the record that matches both the table?
Use a query as record source of your report instead of a table. Then you don't need any expressions in the textboxes, just the column names. I usually give the query the same name as the report but with another prefix. E.g. for report rptSalary the query is named qrptSalary.
SELECT * FROM
Employee E
LEFT JOIN SalaryDetails S
ON E.EmployeeID = S.EmployeeID
In the report, you can insert group headers and footers. You would use EmployeeID as grouping column. Then you can place the employee fields in the employee group header, the salary details in the details section and any sums in the group footer.

I am facing an issue. The issue is as follows:
I have an employee table in 2 servers where empid and username are different from server to server though the employee is same employee.
Table fields name (partials)
empId(pk),username,password,FirstName,LastName,supervisorId,photo etc. There is no SSN field. supervisorid, photo could be null.
How can i retrieve distinct records where same employee in multiple servers?
Is there any way to distinguished whether it is same employee or not?
Any hints/idea will be more appreciable. I am totally stuck to find a solution.
UNION the tables together and use that query as a subquery of your SELECT DISTINCT. Use the username or FirstName and LastName as your HAVING COUNT fields.
I have two tables Main, and Department
Main Table
issue_id
observation
action
date
close Yes/No
Department Table
id (auto increment)
issue_id
Department name
I want to create a report that display the issue from Main table and then display all department that have relation to the issue.
I tried to do it, it display the issue and then one department then display the same issue with different department
You need to add a group in your Report Designer.
Refer to the image below where hilighted.
Add your Issue_Id column as a group.
Display your Issue_Id information in the group section and the Department information in the details section.
I'm trying to implement a feature whereby, apart from all the reports that I have in my system, I will allow the end user to create simple reports. (not overly complex reports that involves slicing and dicing across multiple tables with lots of logic)
The user will be able to:
1) Select a base table from a list of allowable tables (e.g., Customers)
2) Select multiple sub tables (e.g., Address table, with AddressId as the field to link Customers to Address)
3) Select the fields from the tables
4) Have basic sorting
Here's the database schema I have current, and I'm quite certain it's far from perfect, so I'm wondering what else I can improve on
AllowableTables table
This table will contain the list of tables that the user can create their custom reports against.
Id Table
----------------------------------
1 Customers
2 Address
3 Orders
4 Products
ReportTemplates table
Id Name MainTable
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Customer Report #2 Customers
2 Customer Report #3 Customers
ReportTemplateSettings table
Id TemplateId TableName FieldName ColumnHeader ColumnWidth Sequence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 Customer Id Customer S/N 100 1
2 1 Customer Name Full Name 100 2
3 1 Address Address1 Address 1 100 3
I know this isn't complete, but this is what I've come up with so far. Does anyone have any links to a reference design, or have any inputs as to how I can improve this?
This needs a lot of work even though it’s relatively simple task. Here are several other columns you might want to include as well as some other details to take care of.
Store table name along with schema name or store schema name in additional column, add column for sorting and sort order
Create additional table to store child tables that will be used in the report (report id, schema name, table name, column in child table used to join tables, column in parent table used to join tables, join operator (may not be needed if it always =)
Create additional table that will store column names (report id, schema name, table name, column name, display as)
There are probably several more things that will come up after you complete this but hopefully this will get you in the right direction.
I have the following DB Tables with SQL Server
Booking(bookingID,customerName,branchID,RefNumber,...)
Trip(TripID,vehicleID,...)
BookingToTripMap(TripID,bookingID)
Branch(branchID, branchName)
Vehicle(vehicleID,vehicleNumber)
There is a one to one relationship between (Booking,Branch) and (Trip, Vehicle) and Many to many relationship between Booking, Trip which is saved in the table BookingToTripMap.
Now I want to extract a query that would return the following
Booking.RefNumber Booking.CustomerName Vehicle.VehicleNumber
(All vehicle numbers in one cell)
Here is your query
SELECT B.RefNumber, B.CustomerName, V.VehicleNumber
FROM ((Booking AS B INNER JOIN BookingToTripMap AS BT
ON B.bookingID = BT.bookingID) INNER JOIN TRIP as T
ON T.TripID = BT.TripID) INNER JOIN Vehicle as V
ON V.vehicleID = T.vehicleID
I would add the field bookingID to the table Trip, it seems that the table BookingToTripMap doesn't add any value to your database.
Also, if your vehicle's numbers are unique, you could change the primary key in the Vehicle table to vehicleNumber, and change the same columns in the Trip table. Thus you could retrieve the vehicleNumber directly from the Trip table.
I'm just guessing in that, based on the given information.

Ok I have a question and it is probably very easy but I can not find the solution.
I have 3 tables plus one main tbl.
tbl_1 - tbl_1Name_id
tbl_2- tbl_2Name_id
tbl_3 - tbl_3Name_id
I want to connect the Name_id fields to the main tbl fields below.
main_tbl
___________
tbl_1Name_id
tbl_2Name_id
tbl_3Name_id
Main tbl has a Unique Key for these fields and in the other table, fields they are normal fields NOT NULL.
What I would like to do is that any time when the record is entered in tbl_1, tbl_2 or tbl_3, the value from the main table shows in that field, or other way.
Also I have the relationship Many to one, one being the main tbl of course.
I have a feeling this should be very simple but can not get it to work.
Take a look at SQL Server triggers. This will allow you to perform an action when a record is inserted into any one of those tables.
If you provide some more information like:
An example of an insert
The resulting change you would like
to see as a result of that insert
I can try and give you some more details.
UPDATE
Based on your new comments I suspect that you are working with a denormalized database schema. Below is how I would suggest you structure your tables in the Employee-Medical visit scenario you discussed:
Employee
--------
EmployeeId
fName
lName
EmployeeMedicalVisit
--------------------
VisitId
EmployeeId
Date
Cost
Some important things:
Note that I am not entering the
employees name into the
EmployeeMedicalVisit table, just the EmployeeId. This
helps to maintain data integrity and
complies with First Normal Form
You should read up on 1st, 2nd and
3rd normal forms. Database
normalization is a very imporant
subject and it will make your life
easier if you can grasp them.
With the above structure, when an employee visited a medical office you would insert a record into EmployeeMedicalVisit. To select all medical visits for an employee you would use the query below:
SELECT e.fName, e.lName
FROM Employee e
INNER JOIN EmployeeMedicalVisit as emv
ON e.EployeeId = emv.EmployeeId
Hope this helps!
Here is a sample trigger that may show you waht you need to have:
Create trigger mytabletrigger ON mytable
For INSERT
AS
INSERT MYOTHERTABLE (MytableId, insertdate)
select mytableid, getdate() from inserted
In a trigger you have two psuedotables available, inserted and deleted. The inserted table constains the data that is being inserted into the table you have the trigger on including any autogenerated id. That is how you get the data to the other table assuming you don't need other data at the same time. YOu can get other data from system stored procuders or joins to other tables but not from a form in the application.
If you do need other data that isn't available in a trigger (such as other values from a form, then you need to write a sttored procedure to insert to one table and return the id value through an output clause or using scope_identity() and then use that data to build the insert for the next table.
