Is There A Way To Create A Form In Access That Populates A List Of Names From A Table That Has

The most obvious problem with using a value list is that it is static i.e. the values are stored in a list that is not updateable easily. If you use a separate query to make up the list, you can easily create a way for your general users to update the list when they need to by making an appropriate form with the relevant controls. Anything where you lock the users into coming back to you for simple things leads to people resenting the software. Even if you end up being the person who does the actual maintenance of the list, you would thank yourself if you have used a table and query (that only you know how to access for example) rather than having to delve into design mode for a form and update the list there.

You’ll need a tool with the PDF data extraction feature. I know that PDFelement can do the job for you. Here I’ll show you the steps.Open you PDF form file with PDFelement, go to the “Form” tab and select “Data Extraction” as the screenshot shown.In the next window, click on the “Start” button to start the process. You data will be extracted to a Excel file in a few seconds.This article might be helpful: How to Extract Data from PDF Form

How can I create a Football Simulation Game on Visual Basic?

If you're going to be using VB, your best bet is SQL Server - there's an Express version that's free. While it's much less featured than the for-purchase version, it's likely to have more than enough power for your needs.

The way VB interacts with SQL Server is discussed on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXEkX_Z4b...

As for the database structure itself, it depends on just what all you need to store and how you need to use it, but a simplified schema would be something like:

Team (team_id (PK), name, ...)
Match (home_team (PK, FK), away_team (PK, FK), match_date (PK), home_score, away_score, ...)
Note: make sure that you do not specify home_score and away_score as NOT NULL...they should be null until the match is actually played.

You can them partially populate the Match table when schedules are announced and update it as the matches are completed. A table of current standings could then be obtained by the following query:

SELECT name, SUM(wins) AS wins, SUM(losses) AS losses, SUM(ties) AS ties
FROM Team t
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT home_id AS team_id,
CASE home_score > away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS wins,
CASE home_score < away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS losses,
CASE home_score = away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS ties) h
ON t.team_id = h.team_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT away_id AS team_id,
CASE home_score < away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS wins,
CASE home_score > away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS losses,
CASE home_score = away_score THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS ties) a
ON t.team_id = a.team_id
GROUP BY name

How to populate combo box with contents of text file? - C++ and .NET?

I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express. I have a comboBox that I want to populate with the contents of a text file. Basically, the text file will be called applst.txt and will be in the same directory as the actual application. When the form is loading, I want the application to read applst.txt and add each line of the text file as a new item for comboBox1. How can I do this?

(I'm a noob)

This is something our customers do quite routinely. Typically the data is coming from SQL Server or sometimes from a different system (e.g. send Salesforce.com: The Customer Success Platform To Grow Your Business) data directly into a pricing spreadsheet to generate a quote).However, this is usually done as part of a larger initiative to deploy critical spreadsheets as web apps, thus locking down the business logic in the spreadsheet and eliminating version control chaos that historically has plagued the use of spreadsheets in an enterprise setting. See Management & Control of Excel® Spreadsheets Case Studies | EASA for some examples from companies like Zurich Financial and P&G.For more details on the mechanics of how this is accomplished in EASA, see WRITE EXCEL ACTION

Depends the data types. Is your drop down list a multiselect field? Some dropdowns contain multiple fields where a text value is displayed but a number is stored. Is this your situation? Either of these could cause the problem you are having.How are you doing the data transfer? Are you in a query, form, vba? Are you using a dlookup function to get the value?

Pet shop Database problems (Breeds)?

Have you created the foreign key restraints so that your animal.breedid depends on the breed.breedid column? That should be the first step since you don't want people entering records with an arbitrary breed ID. As for your form, this comes down to preference and practicality. If you had a small number of breeds, you'd probably go with a combo box type control that would be populated with the breed names from the breed table. Then when you go to save the record, you'd look up the breed ID based on the name selected, then store that in the database. Since it sounds like you have a large number of breeds to consider, you may want to classify your breeds with a secondary ID to make the groups more manageable. Maybe go by size of dog (probably not reasonable) or by family of dog (i.e. terrier, hound, etc...). The form would need to prompt for that classification first to narrow down the breed selection. Another option would be to create a context aware breed input field that requires the first 2-3 letters to be typed by the user, then it queries the breed table and presents a list of possible matching breed names. The approach is completely up to you.

** Edit **
Which database software are you using? How are you making the input forms (ex. MS Access Forms, web pages w/ backend services, console app, etc...)?

We can get form values easily using ng-model in AngularJS. ng-model is a Two way Data Binding which is one of the powerful feature of AngularJS.Please see the below example taken from AngularJS Documentation.



Name:

E-mail:

Gender:
male
female




user = {{user | json}}

master = {{master | json}}



You can see the live example here AngularJS  On typing the name, email(valid email), gender the user object gets automatically updated in controller which is shown in JSON format. On clicking the save button the user object will be copied into master object for example. Here you can save this user object into database by sending this object to backend using service call.Like this any data from form and can be taken in controller using Two way databinding. We dont need to get the input value using its name or id like in jquery or javascript. ng-model will take care of this functionality.
