I have a lost/found property database form (soft-copy), it works perfectly fine. We enter the details of the found property and then take the print (hard-copy) of the form. Whenever an owner comes to claim his/her item we search through our soft-copy for the specific item/record and then ask them to sign on the relevant hard-copy record after which we cross out the hard-copy and write with a permanent marker "Restored". Whereas in the soft-copy we type in the details that it has been claimed/restored in available text fields. However, is there anyway that I can display a big large banner saying "restored" in front of only that record(s) where item(s) has been restored to the owner. It doesn't have to be a text banner/label, it could also be a picture saying "Restored". I have manage to get a print message box set-up for this but it's too annoying. Every time we pull out an item's record that has been restored, that message box comes up and then we have to click OK to proceed. I can remove it but only if can find a replacement.
I have one table (500 Club) with two fields (ID) (Name) i would like to randomly pick a record from the table and display the results in two seperate text boxes on a form one for (ID) and one for (Name). I intend to use this for a monthly draw at my workplace.
My database has Main form and a Sub form. On main form i place one unbound text box named investigations. In subform of which datasheet there is a column named TestCode. I want unbound text box (Investigations) to display row values which selected in a column (TestCode) of subform.for example:Investigation field should display "CBC,HB,ALP".
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
I have a problem with my database I have a combo box that will search for my record. Actually its working I input the specific number it goes to the specific record. But I want, if there no existing record in my database it will display a Messagebox that "No record Found" I try to put a code in a macro builder in a after update property field but nothing happened.
Expression code that it will display the msgbox if there's no record found.
the given code from macro builder is attached. I try to have an if else statement but I dont know how to not equal that giver conditional expression.
If Me!Type = "Workboat" Then Me!DWT.Visible = False End
This works fine but where the TYPE field is enetred as another category other than workboat, the DWT field is still missing. Am I missing the Else part?
I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
The fields we want to focus on is "AccNo" and "TestCode"
Now i want to filter based on this condition:
If "AccNo" AND "TestCode" BOTH have duplicate data in a record. Show that record only once. Remember. . . "AccNo and TestCode, both these fields have to have duplicate data in a record.
Example: MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456.....CBCA the example above should only display once because of the repeated AccNo and TestCode
Example: MethodCode..... AccNo .....PatientName.....MR..... TestCode ..... etc, etc CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... CBCA CAPT.....M566679.....John Blue.....123456..... LIPID the example above is just fine because the TestCode is not matching
How do i create a query to accomplish this? someone please help, i've had troube with this for the passed couple weeks . .. .
I'm having problems trying to get an If statement working on my form. What I have is a form with two combo boxes linked to a Calendar when you click on the arrow. I can get the dates I select from the calendar into the combo boxes which works perfectly. What I wanted to do then was create a textbox to list the number of days between each date. I have created an If statement for me to do this, which works fine. The problem I am having is that it doesn't seem to update these changes on the form after the date has been changed.
I have placed the code in the AfterUpdate event on both of the combo boxes and also in the Form Current Event.
Anyone any ideas?
If you want to see the If statement let me know, but I don't think it's that.
We have only 4 computers in our office. Our DB backend is SQL server and due to constant corruption of the database from multiple users, each user/computer runs its own separate copy of the mdb file.
I have set up a small form in a separate database to allow me to quickly compact the DB and copy it to the 4 locations on the network instead of doing it manually. This process works fine...BUT....I have a text box on the form set up to display the copy progress and the contents of the text box do not properly display during the file copying. Even though the code to change the value of the textbox comes before the file copy command, the textbox will not display the until after the copying is finished. However, when I step debug the process it displays the information correctly before the file copy command executes.
Here is a sample of my code... Dim strPath1 As String Dim strpath2 As String
If Dir("C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.ldb") <> vbNullString Then MsgBox "Cannot proceed! Fortune database is open.", vbCritical Exit Sub End If
txtProgress = "Compacting Database" 'compact master DB to a temporary DB file DBEngine.CompactDatabase "C:FortuneSystemFortune_System.mdb", strPath1 txtProgress = "" If chkTed Then If Dir(strpath2 & "Ted.ldb") <> vbNullString Then MsgBox "Ted cannot be copied. Program is running.", vbCritical Else Screen.MousePointer = 11 txtProgress = "Ted Copying" Kill strpath2 & "Ted.mdb" FileCopy strPath1, strpath2 & "Ted.mdb" txtProgress = "" Screen.MousePointer = 0 End If End If ....etc...
Can anyone explain why this is happening and possibly a way around it?
I tried to display a variable and constant onto a text box by putting =myvariable onto the data source of the text box. However, Access seems keep threating my variable as a data field and giving me error message. What to do with this?
Hello Guys, I am new to Access 2000 and issue is ,I have a field name product_name with datatype MEMO,when I chek my report at the place of product_name instead of the name of product it shows a squared symbol ,i dont understand how I can see the values of product_name.
SO anyone can help me out ,bcos of this I m stuck into my project.
Go nice and easy on me. This is my first serious DB and i've picked a cracker to start with.
Basically i am trying to set up a booking system for excursions, booking seats on coaches, trains, printing tickets, vouchers and information.
At the moment I'm trying to populate a text box (txtExcursionCost) in a form with a cost with is drawn from a table (tblExcursions).
tblExcursions holds information about the excursions including the info which populates combo box (cboExcursionTitle) and combo box(cboExcursionDate). The date combo is dependant on what is selected in the Title combo. The text box (txtExcursionCost) needs to be dependant on the Title and Date combos to get the right cost displayed. How could I get this to work?
The reason for the text box is that it only needs to be displayed to show the user the cost of that particular excursion and to create a base for a calculation for Amount Due at the completion of the transaction.
Let me start by saying I am very, very new to Access, but have been assigned a report to create.
I have the following textbox in my report: =[Location]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [callnumber]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [Online Availability]+(Chr(13) & Chr(10)) & [PF Subject]
I'm using this format so that my 4 fields appear in a list and don't leave blank lines if the one of the fields happens to be empty.
The problem is that I need to alter or substitute some text.
First, in the location field, I can have several different entries, but if the entry is 'Circ', I don't want that text to display and I don't want a blank line either.
Secondly, in the online availability field, if there is any value in the field, I want whatever text that is to change to something like 'Online - Yes'. If there is no value in the field, nothing should display.
I think the use of the Iif function should work, but I can't seem to write it correctly. Help!!
There are 2 images I am inserting, I want on the Access form to display the total of row (each row is batch number) in the box after pressing the button in the form. based on Product code, date and table numbers.
Hi All, I hope someone can help with this, I have 2 tables, 1 main table that holds all my part data ( ie part num, description, etc) and a second table with vendor info. On my Form I have all my fields that display the record. I placed a combo box on my form that I need the user to be able to select a vendor, which is working but I need the form to show the vendors part number in a field. The main table has a manufactures part number, and I have 3 fields that have my 3 vendors part numbers for that part in it. I have the combo box so that it shows the vendor name but how do I get it to look at a certain field for the vendor part number. Im still really new to Access and am clueless any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I have not explained this every well so I am attaching a sample of the DB so you can see that I have Thanks again
I have a tabular form in Access 2003 that is cutting off the text disply in some text fields.
I am doing some comparisons so the fields are repeated three times.
All three fields are larger than the data.
Two fields display correctly and the third field, identical to the other two, is chopped off on the right side and just shows empty space after the first few letters instead of all the data.
Fields are all the same size in the underlying table.
Changing the format between left, center, right has no effect.
Text size is the same in all three.
All the data is from a single query on a single form.
There is no subform.
All properties for the three are the same.
If I increase the field WAY beyond the required size all the data shows, but I haven't any extra room to do this on the form.
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
Hi, I have created a form (Form1) based on a table (Table1) and also a Query based on this table (Query1). I calculate a field in the query (Expr1: [column1] + [column2]) Now i have created a text box on Form1 that should display Expr1. I know I could also calculate the value directly via the expression builder, but I would prefer to simply display Expr1 from my query. Which is the syntax I have to use in the Expression Builder? I tried "= [Query1]![Expr1]" but it does not work. Thanks for your help Tigrou
