I have two questions both related - I have a table with column headings - based on this table is a query and a form. If I add another column heading to my table how do I get the query and the form to update and show the new table column heading - I have some VBA knowledge but not enough to work this out - thanks Dave
You mentioned sql and forms. Are you utilizing MS Access?
If you are, you will need to add the new field in the sql query, then add the new field into the form.
Not knowing what you are working with or examples of how it is laid out limits what help I can offer.

I have a document list that is updated periodically. The list may have up to 5 associated doc numbers associated with it. I need to generate a report that will have the primary document listed and the other 'sub documents' listed as well.
I basically need a table as show in the picture. I attempted a UNION, but if the data is dynamic, I would also continually need to update the query.
Any help or direction with this concept would be greatly appreciated.
I do not see other solution but read the recordset row by row and insert the data into new table. PIVOT would not work in this case.
I am currently building a MS Access database as a project #Work.
The Database is fed with a huge, not sorted Table DataQueryExport, and the objective is to create a GUI that makes that huge table workable.
Now to the question:
I have a textfield Comment that is supposed to show a comment to a specific data entry WorkID. The WorkID Is stored in a seperate table called WorkID_Comments which is filled via SQL query. The Table WorkID_Commentshas 2 columns, WorkIDand Comment.
The GUI has a ComboBox WorkID_Combo, where you can select a specific WorkID from the main Table DataQueryExport. This exact value is what is supposed to be used as a reference to show the comment for that WorkID.
TL:DR; I need the Comment Box to show and store the Text I wrote for that Value selected in the ComboBox. How do I get the Textfield to show the Value from the Table WorkID_Comments.Comments where the Value in WorkID_Combo(View ComboBox) is the same as WorkID_Comments.WorkID
I apologize beforehand for any weird capitalizations, I am used to it, German is my main language.
Thank you for reading, I am thankful for any response.
Build a query in the query designer with your needed columns (If I understood it correctly: ID and the Comment).
Then go to your combobox and chose under properties recordsource table/query and your designed query.
Now you can specify which colums should be shown and use the ID as the value in the background.
Then bind another query to your form (here is the text you wrote as column) which is linked to the ID from the combox. Put a textbox in the form and use the column as source.
I am new to access database. I have a Payroll Table with several fields. In that table whenever I insert a new row in to that table, I want to display netpay field to be filled automatically. I want to calculate
[Grosspay] - [OtherExpenses].
Im Googled and saw many examples but I am not getting the exact one what I wanted. In one example I found changing the datatype of automated calculated field to Calculated datatype. But in my database I don't find that. I am using access 2007
I am trying to replicate a word document as a report in Reporting Services 2008r2.
I need to create a table, with some cells spanning more than 1 column. Essentially it's a 3 column table, but sometimes the 2nd column should fill the space of the 3rd.
I can't find a good way of creating this in Report Builder 3 - I have tried using a table and matrix but cannot achieve what I want.
This report is for 1 record, I want a table of data related to a record and do not want to create textboxes and rectangles and arrange them neatly to get what i want.
Each field should have its own row - but some of those rows will be split with 2 values.
Does anyone have a good method to create what I want? Please don't tell me this isn't the 'norm' and how to do the normal way - I need to replicate an existing layout.
I have solved my issue by deleting the 'Header' row from the table. Then using it like a normal table in any MS Office app, I have also ensured that my Dataset only contains 1 row which may have had some bearing on my issue...
I am helping a small school with their database which I created three years ago and that works fine.
I am now creating a attendance register as a new feature to it and am struggling with the update query fields.
I have two tables and one append query which works well with the form I have created. I have combobox to filter the class to check the register which works well. The problem I am faced with is when running the query, it updates all 180 students and not the ones filtered per class.
I need to append the data only for the class selected. Thank You
Please help.

It seems that you wish to only update or append the rows that match the combobox on your form. You can refer to an open form in a query in MS Access. With your append query in design view, under the field that you want to match and type in Form! followed by the name of your form, another dot or exclamation, and the name of your combo, say:
Forms!Form1!Combo0
In SQL View an append query would look something like:
INSERT INTO Table1 ( AText )
SELECT Table2.AText
FROM Table2
WHERE Table1.ID=[Forms]![Form1]![Combo0]
Similarly for an update query:
UPDATE Table1b
SET Table1b.ADate = Date()
WHERE Table1b.ID=[Forms]![Form1]![Combo0]
