Access Form Auto Populated Fields With Linked Tables
Nov 29, 2013
I am really new to Access 2010 as I normally use SQL so im sure this is a very basic question. I have a form where I have linked some sql tables to a table in access so the data gets stored in SQL. The form consists of many fields the basic fields are Policy ID, Name, Office, Month, Dept etc. At the moment users have to fill this in using comboboxes and text boxes but I want to change this so when the user puts in the Policy ID all the other fields are populated ie in the office field it would have a sql query of or something that looksup the office from the policy id that is entered:
SELECT [Office] FROM DBO.DQ
WHERE [Policy_ID]='what is entered into the Policy ID field' and so on.
Also not sure if this works but as I have now linked the tables to SQL does this mean that when a user fills in the information into the form it will then update the SQL table or is this another issue?
I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?
I have a combo box that pulls account name data from tblAcctInfo. the combo box has an OnChange event which updates a textbox, txtAcctAddr.
when i have a new account that i would like to be listed in the combo box, i use a form, frmAcctAdd, to add a record to tblAcctInfo.
what i would like to do, is: 1) when i type a new value in the combo box that isn't in the list, have that string value pre-populate in the frmAcctAdd. 2) when i have added the new account info into frmAcctAdd and then saved the record, i would like the new value to pre-populate in the combo box, with the txtAcctAddr textbox also updated via the OnChange event (or maybe a different event is more appropriate?).
I have created a long version of this which requires a lot more user interaction (1-user typing in a new value into the combo box, 2-user RE-typing the SAME value into a data entry form, frmAcctAdd, 3-user saving the new record, 4-user re-clicking the combo box and selecting the newly added value) but i am trying to streamline the data entry with auto-populated fields.
i would like to sum up 5 fields and save (or just show it in the form view is enough really) in a seperate field, i have managed to sum the 5 fields, but it summed up all 5 fields in all records, i'd like to have my form show the sum for the record, not the table.
it would be ideal that it would refresh when one of the 5 fields data changes, i.e from 1000 to 2000. again updating in the form view is what is needed.
I have two tables, "Summary" and 'POC Information". In the "POC Information Table I have all my Contacts Information (Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc...) and I am trying to assign 2 POCs to each of my multiple projects located in the "Summary" Table. I am using a Form called "JCIDS Tracker Input Form" as the link. So far I am able to assign one POC by a combo box that lists "Full Name", then it autofills the other information...Phone Number, Email, etc... The problem come into being when I want to assign a second POC to the same Project...I can assign a name, but it won't correctly autofill the rest of the information...it just autofills in the information from the first POC that was selected.
I tried putting the following code in the form unload procedure, but although it does generate the correct message, it doesnt stop the form from closing.
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) If [Starttime] > 0 And [Admin_time] = 0 Then response = MsgBox("Please click on the stop button to stop the clock") Exit Sub End If end sub
If the above condition holds, I want the user to click on the stop button before they close down the form. I'm guessing that the form is already commited to closing before the unload event? :o
We have two back end SQL Server databases accessed by VPN to a remote location using RDP locally. It is common to use MS Access as a report generation tool oftentimes containing linked tables from either or both db's and having Reports/Forms/Queries utilizing joins against tables from both SQL databases. Having to enter User Name and Password twice each time is more than a pain.
First a user would not have access to the MS Access report FE without first having appropriate and successful login UN/PWD to the remote server. Therefore having to login again when instancing reports/forms/queries against those linked tables/pass through queries is a minor pain. How or what process is used to tell Access to never prompt for User Name and Password? Or is there one? Kind of like telling MS Query tool in Excel to 'Remember Password'...
I have created quite a substantial and effective database for a small gliding club with all the major data tables being linked. I need to be able to re-index tables periodically so that running totals, which are needed to calculate statement balances, works correctly - all well and good. The only problem is that the process of re-indexing requires the data in the main table to be stored temporarily and the original data deleted. When the temporary data is appended to the main table the auto-numbering just keeps clocking up.how to reset the auto-numbering in a local table.
I have a form for 2800 different records. I want to auto populate 4 text boxes based on the value of 1 combo box but when I change the data on 1 form, all the forms show the same data. I want to be able to able to change the data on each form and save separately.I have Table with Tech Initials(PK), Full Name(689), CellNum(691), TestGaugeSN(630) and Cal Exp Date(632). Want to use Tech Initials to populate the rest.
Here's what I'm using:
Private Sub Combo687_AfterUpdate() Me.Text689 = Me.Combo687.Column(1) Me.Text691 = Me.Combo687.Column(2) Me.Text630 = Me.Combo687.Column(3) Me.Text635 = Me.Combo687.Column(4) End Sub
I have split a database, then realised that I needed to change two fields in a form. Y/N field and Text field.
I went into the backed database changed the fields to be Required but in the front end it doesn't seem to work? I haven't tried re-linking them but should I need to?
I have 2 tables tblworkdone and tbltests, both have a date field and are both subforms in a tabbed form on the main form. When I enter a date into the tbltests subform I would like the date to automatically be entered into the tblworkdone date field and create a new record so that when I move to the tblworkdone subform with the date already there.
I have a database consisting of three linked tables, with ID as unique identifier (primary key).
I would have expected the data type for my unique identifier, especially in the main table, to be Autonumber. However, I discovered with some surprise that the primary key (ID) in
Table 1 (Main table) is data type: number, field size: double
whereas in table 2 and table 3 the ID is data type: autonumber (field size: long integer)
It must have happend "SOMEHOW" when I divided the original single table.
Is this as it should be? Or could it lead to trouble later on?
If not as should be, is there anything I can do right now to rectify the situation with risking upsetting the relationships and all?
What precautions should I take, apart from taking a backup?
I am trying to create a database to manage some project related functions. the main thing I want it to do is manage the resource allocation and costs related to fixed price projects and ultimately be able to produce reports that show the Bid vs Forecast vs Actual in relation to someones time and hence cost.in building the first table which I want to store the initial Bid data. I have a need to have fields automatically generate based on the value of two other fields. this is used to identify how long the project will run for.
for example: prject start date of 1/1/2014 project end date of 31/12/2014
Auto Generate 12 fields in which to put the monthly resource usage for each resource.
Hey All, I have a main form PID and and Building form I need to have the data from the building table display on the building form, upon adding a new record. Since my PID form and building form are linked to show the same records. PID Form contains- PIN NUM, ADDRESS, PARID. The Building form contains, PIN NUM, DATE, PHONE, OWNER, SIZE, LOCATION... I open my main form filter my results for my reocrds to show up... PIN-20053227, ADDRESS-MAINSTREET, PARID-NEWFIE22. This data is obtained through the PARID table. Now I click on the command button to see my building forms, there are 6 records, here I have the ability to add, modify, delete, save... What i want to do is add a new record, but have some generic fields appear from my table. since my name, PIN, address hasnt changed. So I would like to click add, and have appear from the building table, OWNER, PHONE etc... How might I be able to do this?? Thanks- NOTE: Hey all I double posted this incase you didnt notice this in the FORMS, Form.

I have developed a Microsoft Access 2010 database for my client and the database is split with Front-end/Back-end, the Back-end and the database is shared on Network, The client operating system and applications for all users are hosted and consistent and the service is delivered over Citrix.
The database some times corrupt the tables record and give a permanent #Delete Error, I have attached one of the database table and the screenshot of the error,
I have form with an unbound combo box which is populated from a query
It should populate a field in a table which is related to another - however it only works when i query by id number (primary key) and not the text value i want - is it possible to query both so it returns say 1,option 1 - then when selected it will place a 1 in the table - which is related to option 1 in another table instead of just having to select '1' which will mean nothing to a user?
I'm new to access and trying to figure out how to use a field to look up and return results from multiple tables. I've tried several books and also the northwind traders example. What i'm trying to do is just like the oder form in the orthwind traders example on the order form. I would like to insert the customer name via a combo box then have the address, phone etc. automatically update as well as automatically update the shipping address etc with the current billing address. I know this is pretty basic but I must me missing a step.
Hi I have created 4 tables which have 3 field common in all these tables and carry the same data value. Is it possible to enter data in the first tables and it copies to other tables automatically. After all its the same 4 data fields in these tables. Liver database Table 1. Auto ID; Surname, First name, Patient ID;-----other not common fields. Table 2. Auto ID; Surname, First name, Patients ID;----other not common fields.
I have a table called Jobslog which contains records for my permanent jobs I have to do for customers in one week.Structure is like:
JobID TeamID DayName JobDescription Instructions
Each job is assigned to a team, but is following same schedule every week.Can I create like a module or query to autopopulate the table with next week jobs, but putting the date as well, not only day name.For example, each Monday job should have a date field which should be 8/12/2014, Tuesday jobs should have 9/12/2014 and so on until Sunday.Usualy they are more jobs for each day (not day and job).
I have a data entry form feeding a table named [Group Members] using Access 2010.
It has 4 fields; [Group ID] & [Group Name] derived from tbl.[Groups] and [Member ID] & [Member Name] derived from tbl.[Mail List]. The 'ID' fields are foreign keys from the respective tables.
The 2 'Name' fields have drop down lists for input selection, but my requirement is to cause auto fill of the 'ID' fields when the respective 'Names' are selected.
I had assumed that this simple requirement could be achieved with a suitable control on the form property sheet. It is so simple to do in Excel!!
I am having a table for invoicing and vouchers, and I need to have two fields that will have auto incremental numbers. How I can have two fields in the same table with autonumbers and how can I get one of them to start from a different value.
Eg. Record 1 - [inv No] 1 [Vno] 0005 Record 2 - [Inv No] 2 [Vno] 0006
If I have a Report, with three fields (all data-type Text) named 'Jan', 'Feb' and 'Mar', and I want to have a fourth field (Unbound) alongside them, providing a count of the number of fields out of these three fields that are populated.
I have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments" DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
I have a Table named TBLBookings...on one of the fields I have a Lookup wizard thats linked to a Table named TBLVehicles which includes
Car Reg Car Type Location
When I run the TBLBooking and click the drop down list it shows up
Car Reg Car Type Location
but once the field is clicked all it shows in the records is the REG where in a form id like to see what vehicle it is location etc...is it possible to have extra fields in the form named Car Type and Location and once the registration is chosen it automatically fills in the correct details for them?
