Hello,
Dopes anybody know how to activate/deactivate fields for data entry on a form based on another field.
I have a check box whcih when checked I would like to activate two other fields and when unchecked to grey them out.
Can I do this?
How do I activate functions mouse functions in a field? I want to click the right key of the mouse when I'm in a field within a form so I can cut, copy, and paste.

I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device".
The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
DEVICES:
NameDescriptionAssetIP
XserveFile Server107203.30.144.75
ProliantXDHCP119203.30.144.15
IP:
AddressIP TypeDevice
203.30.144.75Static
203.30.144.15Static
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
thank you

I have main form and that has one sub-form , this Main form governs/determines the data in the sub form.
This Sub form ( DataSheet Mode) has approximately 130 columns and based on the Main form criteria only ~ 20 columns has to be filled.
What I want to do is based on the main forms criteria I want to show only the columns that are applicable to main form criteria.
If I use Columnar or Tabular single form for the Sub Form I am able to hide the fields that are not required BUT IT LEAVES A SPACE/GAP on form ( for the hidden fields that are not required)
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Forms!frmShowPIforActiveAndCanAddNewPI!FrmSubFrmFi lterProductInformationPerFMT!CASETIF = True Then
Me.CASETIF.Visible = True
Else
Me.CASETIF.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
And If I use DataSheet and hide ( visible = no) a particular filed it still shows up in Sub Form
Is there a way to Auto-Re Arrange all the fields in the sub form so that the hidden ( visible = no) fields no not leave gap
Or is there a way by VBA program to select fields ( Columns) from a table to be displayed on a sub form based on a criteria
Thanks

I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.
When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.
If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit
Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT
Grasshopper Box1000 Adult
Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult
Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
Hi,
I am creating a small database to house results of certain tests. Is there a function in access that allows me to add fields if a result is out of the specification required. In other words I still need to record the out of spec results but I also need more fields to appear for the next lot of results to be entered, for example.
When cooking a batch of product I need to test the pH at the 30 minute mark if the pH is too low I will continue cooking the product for another 30 minutes and then test the product again. The cook time is not a constant so I never know how many samples are required, therefore I don't know how many fields i would need in advanced.
I'm creating a db that provides project listings in the work queue, along with the due dates and a bunch of other data.
I have created a table [recurring projects] that stores the projects that are done frequently. Once I do some field manipulations on this table, I append them to a master table with all projects [projects] - ad hocs, non-recurring, etc.
Most, not all, recurring projects are due 14 days from the date of assignment, however it varies. I've created a query that populates the due date 14 days or whatever the user has inputed for working days from the assignment date.
All works good with this functionality.
Here's my problem:
There are some projects that are due on the 1st, 15th or some designated date each month. Typically the projects are assigned a due date prior to the month due (i.e. February projects are assigned in January). Since the due dates change each month, is there a way to code a query to look for the first process - 14 days - and if it is null, then populate with a day of the month due.
For example, the field [days_to_complete] = 14 so the query will populate 14 days from 1/31/07 resulting in [due_date] = 2/14/07 OR [days_to_complete] is null, but [day_of_month] = 1 , which I need to create the [due_date] = 2/1/07
I'm racking my brain and pencils are being cracked!
Thanks,
Nathan
I have been working with a simple Dlookup to return a value based on the data held in a specific field. I am now trying to develop this further and need some help.
I have a query "QryMainForm" that brings together fields from 2 tables "TblFS" (fields: Ref, score 1, score 2) and "TblFamily" (fields: Familyname). the query adds the values in Score 1 and Score 2 and saves the value as "points".
Seperatly from this i have a table "Tbllevels" which contains the fields Score, Operational, Admin, Technical. with the points scored relating to a value within each field. What i need to do is run the lookup based on the both "points" and Familyname fields contained in the query.
So the TblLevels looks like this:
Score.....Technical.....Operational.......Admin
100........................... Level 1.........Level 2
200 ........Level 1..........Level 2.........Level 3
300.........Level 2..........Level 3
400.........Level 3
So someone who scores 300 points could be assigned to the technical or operational group (this is done manually). What i need the lookup to do is to return the level based on the points and Familyname fields located on "qrymainform"
any ideas on how i can do this one?
Here is what I am trying to do.
I have a table with routes that tell me which carrier to use. This is based on from what state to what state it is traveling as well as the service lever (next day, standard, etc.)
How would I code for the value in the carrier field to populate based on the state and service level values entered.
Should I write a query to get the results? Or should it be code in an event on a particular field?
Whichever way works, any ideas on how to get started?
Thanks.
Gary:confused:
using access 2010. I have two tables, an example of their structure is in the attached PDF, and in text below. I want to be able to join/ answer question between the tables like the one outlined below.
Reference Table: A table with the most likely pet based on income and location
Header: Country, State, Income Min, Income Max, Pet
Record: US , NY , 1 , 5 , Cat
Record: US , NY , 5 , 9 , Dog
Question Table: A table with income and location
Header: Country, State, Income
Record: US , NY , 5
What type of pet will the people in the question table have?
Answer: Header: Country, State, Income, Pet
Record: US , NY , 5 , Cat
The logic works like this:
Question Country = Reference Country
Question State = Reference State
Question Income >= Reference Income Min AND Question Income <=Reference Income Max
Obviously I am not working with cats and dogs but this is my table structure.
Hello All,
I have searched the forum but I don't quite get what I am looking for.
I have a subform that has these 2 fields:
- Status
- LastFollowup
What I want is if the Status shows "Pending" and the date entered on the LastFollowup is more than 7 days. Then it should turn Yellow.
I tried this code in the expression box but it doesn't seem to work
[Status]="Pending" and [LastFollowup]>7
Could anyone please assist? I know this is simple but it's not working for me.
Thank you
Hi,
I've been using this forum for a couple of weeks but this is my first post, so apologies if I've put it in the wrong place!! I have a table with some drop-down lists to fill certain fields, and I would the available list options to change based on information in other fields. To provide an example:
Field One: The drop down list lets the user choose "Alphabet" or "Number"
Field Two: The drop down list lets the user choose A-Z if "Alphabet" is selected in Field One or 1-100 if "Number" is selected in Field One
Hope I've been clear enough. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am endeavouring to filter a form based on the position of an individual.
I would like the users to be able to select their position and then any record where there is a match in the "Primary Responsibility" field or the "Secondary Responsibility " field will be displayed.
I have an underlying query that is populated by a combo box on an unbound form.
This has worked when generating reports for individuals but I cannot get the required result when using the form.
Thanking anyone in advance who can assist me with this.

Right now I'm getting a circular reference error :/
please advise. Thank you.
Hi All
I have 2 formulas that work for me in excel. I hope to be able to replicate the result in Access.
1)
I have the following in a field called PROBLEM STORE NAME:
SALE (DAY 1 - HD)
Mt DRUITT (WOWPOS) (E)
THE MALL (WOWPOS)
TOWN HALL (RF)
LIVINGSTON
I want these to be grouped as WOWPOS or ISS460 (if not WOWPOS), so return in field STORE TYPE as:
PROBLEM STORE NAME.............................STORE TYPE
SALE (DAY 1 - HD)............................................... ..ISS
Mt DRUITT (WOWPOS) (E)......................................WOWPOS
THE MALL (WOWPOS).......................................... ...WOWPOS
TOWN HALL (RF).............................................. ......ISS
LIVINGSTON........................................ ..................ISS
I use the following formula in Excel to achieve this when I export query results from Access:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wowpos",K2)),"WOW","ISS460")
2)
I have a field VENDOR ID that may or may not contain ANY detail. If the cell is empty I need it to return N/A. If populated I need to return VENDOR CALL. The following formula achieves that for me in Excel:
=IF(ISBLANK(X2),"NO","VENDOR CALL")
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
cheers

I have a query that is set up to join two name fields...for example:
[ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]
The issue is that this is perfect for names that are entered in the table like this:
Lstnam: ABC HOSP Fstnam: ITAL
They are entered like that for groups, but when individual doctors are entered, the data entry folks are entering them like this:
Lstnam: SMITH Fstnam: BOB Titlcd: MD
So when I join them the first displays correctly as ABC HOSPITAL, the second displays as SMITHBOBMD and I have to manually go in and add a comma.
Is there a way to do an if/then statement or something to tell the query to display results If the titlecd is NOT NULL, display as [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM]&", "&[ELIGVENDORS.TITLCD], else display as [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]
I'm sure there is, I am new to IF/THEN statments though and was hoping to get some help setting it up.
Thanks in advance and I hope my description is clear enough.

i have tblDates that has two number long integer fields named FiscalYear and FiscalMonth. then there is my field PerSeq is number long integer.
in my Query1, i have 2 fields that use a question in the field part of the qry like:
Desired FiscalYear: [Enter Fiscal Year] EG 2007
Desired FiscalMonth: [Enter Fiscal Month] EG 2
And now the Qry question. The field in the qry "Desired BaseSeq". i want this dlookup to get PerSeq out of tblDates based on my response to the Desired FiscalYear and Desired FiscalMonth.
I start it out here but it is wrong i know.
Desired BaseSeq: DLookUp("PerSeq","tblDates","[Desired FiscalYear] And [Desired FiscalMonth]=" & [tblDates].[FiscalYear] And [tblDates].[FiscalMonth])
Thanks you.
I'm trying to create a report eventually, however, I need to get my query set up.
My report should look like the following when complete.
Timeframe (mth,qtr,year)
# of Total Projects Completed - regardless of status
# and % of Projects Completed within Requested Delivery Date
# and % of Projects Completed within Committed Delivery Date
# and % of Projects Completed within Requested and
Committed Delivery Date
I have 3 different fields to base my calculation from:
Actual Delivery Date
Requested Delivery Date
Committed Delivery Date
I have created 2 new fields that calculate the number of days:
[Actual Delivery Date] - [Requested Delivery Date]
[Actual Delivery Date] - [Committed Delivery Date]
I'm trying to set up a "Status" field to indicate whether the project was completed "Within Requested", "Within Committed", or "Within Requested and Committed", however, I'm stumped. I've tried an Iff statement to no resolve. I don't want 10 queries just to get me there either.
Please help! :confused:
Thanks!
Hi All
I want to create a query which is based on two fields.
One field is a date query i.e >=Date()-7 OR >=Date+7
The Other is a Combo box where the criteria is No
My problem is that access is currently running this as two individual queries.
Is it possible to make this query return data only when both fields are matching?
Or do I have to run this as a parameter query?
Thanks!!
Greetings to all,I have duplicate records in my table (i.e. there are two or more records that are identical, and I only want to keep one of them). Is there another way to delete the duplicate records other than one at a time? Assigning primary keys and appending only unique records to a new table is not an option because in some instances, I want to maintain duplicate values within a field (i.e. the desire to delete is based on more than one field)Any help would be greatly appreciatedCheers, Lori (An Access amateur)

I want my db to generate our reference # automatically based on input from other fields. The number is the date record entered, the users initials, and an incremental number. Ex. 120505GMM02
My form is based on a query and I have the query generating the first two components from the date entered in reqdate and the initials entered. How can I get an incremental number generated to go with the rest.
The number should start with 01 for each day and also for each user. Therefore when GMM is entering his third record on the 5th it should generate 120505GMM03 even if there were 10 other records entered on the fifth by other users. Each users numbers would start at 01 for each day.
I asked this earlier but thought I would restate my question in hopes of getting my thoughts around this. I appreciate your patience with me.
Thanks.

I've put together a database for my company to track our archived files. When the files are archived, there are three important values pertaining to their location: a list number, a box number, and a barcode number.
Each box has a barcode on it, so what I'd like to do is make it so that when any record has both a list and box number entered (since it is dependent on the list number to know which, for example, "Box 1" I'm entering information for), it would automatically insert the appropriate barcode number in the field. It would obviously need a seed for each barcode number to be entered before it would know which one to use, but that could either be based on the first unique entry, or entered another way. If anyone can help me do this, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if my description was insufficient or confusing, just let me know and I'll try to clear it up. Thanks!
Example:
If I entered:
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4
It might not know what the barcode is the first time. But once I had entered
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4 366582
It would know what I was entering. Keeping in mind that I'm not showing the rest of the record, but just this end part, my next entry would look like:
List # Box # Barcode #
77 4 366582
77 4 366582
...the red representing that it would automatically fill that in, because it knows that if I'm talking about Box 4 in List 77, that must be the barcode.
I have a table containing the area, location and name of someone there is also a field contains a number from 0-10. I need to run a query that will count the number of times a number appears in this field and put this total in a field on its own.
this my table fields are as follows...
Area Location Name Number
And I would like the query to show....
Area Location Name 10's 9's 8's ect...
I'm trying to build a query that uses the information pulled from controls on a form called "CharacterCreation" - 2 of the controls are "Race" and "Class", and the form stores this data in a "Characters" table.The query needs to refer to the Characters table, and another table called "Modifiers".In this second table I have several numerical fields such as hp, str, etc, and I have two other fields called "Type_Modifier" and "Type" Among the Type_Modifiers are Race and Class, where their corresponding "Type" could be for instance Demon and Magician..
So the idea is that when I mark on the form (and thus creating the record in the first table) a Race of "Demon", and a class of "Magician" I want the query to refer to both of these fields, and sum the values in the second table where the "Type" is either "Demon" or "Magician" or whatever I decided to choose. I feel like I should be able to figure this out but I'm having a hard time..Here's an example of the SQL I've tried that shows nothing.
Code:
SELECT Characters.Char_Name, Sum(Modifiers.hp) AS SumOfhp
FROM Modifiers INNER JOIN Characters ON (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Class) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color2) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color1) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Species) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Race)
GROUP BY Characters.Char_Name, Modifiers.Type
HAVING (((Modifiers.Type)=[Characters].[Race]));
I also tried this, which I thought would work but it displays nothing as well.
Code:
SELECT Characters.Char_Name, Sum(Modifiers.hp) AS SumOfhp
FROM Modifiers INNER JOIN Characters ON (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Class) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color2) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color1) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Species) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Race)
GROUP BY Characters.Char_Name, [Type]=[Characters].[Race];
