I am using a database prepared by someone. But it seems that when i try to add data to a form I am not able to do that. Neither can I edit it. For both these purposes I need to use the table . i.e for adding records and for editing too.
Is it possible anyway that I can change the record in form it changes in the table as well. or I will have to work with tables all the time
Regards

Hi,
how can I update the form with all the data of the table after modifying the form if it doesnot contain any data.
I have a form, created from a query. The query contains and links about six tables using an AutoNumber ID. The query also has fields from each of these tables.
OK, so when users enter their data into this form, I would like the autoincremented number to increase in each of these tables. The catch is that when the user enters data, he/she does not have to enter data into every field. Therefore, not every table will contain information. But there will be times later on that some of that information will become available and will need to be placed on the appropriate spot (based on the ID number.)
So, some of my tables do not auto-increment and some do. How should I go about resolving this so that when someone enters new data, each table's ID is autoincremented no matter if that table contains information immediately or not? Please Help.:confused:
Thank you.
This may be a very neebie question, but I have a form with drop downs for data choices. When an employee finishes with the selections, I would like all the data transferred to a table as a record. How would I go about doing this.
Any assistance is really appreciated!!
I have a query based on two tables and I have created a form based on that query. Now I want to take input in the form and then add that data to one of the tables, that the query is based on. How can I do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey, im developing a taxi service database and i am working on adding new customers to the customers table through a form using text boxes. Im wondering if its possible to have text boxes as inputs and once all the data is entered (first name, last name etc) have a button to simply click and have all the data transferred to the table. Im also trying to do this without having all other records shown as well.
I've included a screen and the db to show you what i mean:
http://shieldfilez.fasthost.tv/images/screen.jpg
I have a form (called Form2) with say 3 text boxes, called txt_Field1, txt_Field2 and txt_Field3.
In txt_Field1 the user specifies the number of records to be added to an existing table. The fields txt_Field2 and txt_Field3 are used to pre-populate the records with default values.
Furthermore, I have set up a table called Table1. It's headers are ID, Strategy, divRate. ID is Autonumber, Strategy is Text, and divRate is Number.
Suppose the user inputs the following on Form2:
txt_Field1 = 3
txt_Field2 = Covered
txt_Field3 = 0.04
How do I programmatically add 3 records (since txt_Field1 = 3) to Table1 such that the table will look like:
ID, Strategy, divRate
1, Covered, 0.04
2, Covered, 0.04
3, Covered, 0.04
I have 2 tables.
Table one is for person ID
Table two is for number of absences
I created a one-to-many relationship with the update/delete option selected. It didn't work when I wanted to add new data into the tables (via form). Then I tried a many-to-many relationship (with a third table) but it doesn't seem logical to do so, as I only need to add particular data into one table, but need a field from the 1st to differentiate records.
(table 1 = one record per person, table 2 = multiple records for 1 person)
I have created a DB to store my students records, eg: Student Number, English Name, Chinese Name, Birthdate, Class Number, Age, and exam scores, I also have a photo frame to display the students photo.
In the data sheet I have an ole object field where I add the photos, the thing is it means I need to manually add this to the data sheet, whereas I can add all the other details directly from the form "Add New Record" and also search, delete or edit all from the form.
I have searched and searched but I cannot find any info that accurately explains how I may add the photos to the c where I have placed a button "Add Photo". I assume I need to create a macro and assign it to the button (on click) then this would need to open a search file location box where I can find the photo and select it to be added to the file.
The point is I wish to be able to do all the adding, deleting and editing from within the form and not have to enter into the data sheet at all.
I am using Office 2010
I have quite an extensive form linked to a table. When I add new columns to the table I seem to have a problem getting the form to read the data.I have just added a numerical column to the table and added a text box on the form that is bound to it. When I try to pull up the value using VBA it is blank, even though an entry is visible on the form. I have set the text box to general number and the entry shows in the actual table. When typing in the entry into VBA it capitalises where required so it must be registering the table entry. However the value it pulls remains blank.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form for entry and some fields are computed or result of a query from another table. I have a function that looks up a value from another table like so
************************************************** ********
Public Function GetTargetType() As Variant
GetTargetType = DLookup("type", "tblFormulations", "[tblFormulations!formulation]=Forms![frmNmsConsumptionEntry]![formulation]")

Which works fine when I test in the immediate window.Then I have this form event. This however does not insert this value when I am adding records using my continuous form.

Private Sub Form_BeforeInsert(Cancel As Integer)
Me!target_group = GetTargetType()
'Forms!frmNmsConsumptionEntry!target_group = GetTargetType()
'[tblNmsConsumption.target_group] = GetTargetType()
End Sub
************************************************** ********
making sure I can insert this value once retrieved.

I have just devised a simply database but as usual when using it I found that I had left out some information.
To simplify - I could for example, make a drop down menu with the letters a-z but when finished realised that I had left out the letters K, L & R. How do I insert the missing data into the already created list?
Thanks for your help

Hi i am a doctor dabbling in ms access and trying to make myself a database of patients. I have 2 forms named new and followup where i would add the data accordingly. I have a primary key named TSCID that is autonumber in the new patient form. I wanted to know how can i program my followup form in such a way that if i put in the TSCID as the foreign key and add that data, some other data such as name, age, gender, address, etc can be auto entered and it can remain modifiable.
thanks

Hi All,
I need to make a payment based on the latest Verify Number to a specific person so i am trying to create a form that is focused around a person, looks up the latest Verify number and can make a new payment number to add new payments.
In my tables, it works perfectly excluding the latest Verify number whereas i do not have any filters set. The Verify numbers can change which is why i need to make a new payment based on the latest Verify number. Using this number, i can add many payments to a Payment Number and add many Payment Numbers to a Verify Number for example:
John
Verify NumberGo4566546
Payment Number 44
Payments101Work carried out £800
102Delivery costs £100
103Material Cost £400
Payment Number 49
Payment 168 Work Carried out £700
170Work Carried out£450
Verify Number Go4566952
Payment Number 50
Payments171Work Carried Out£900
177Work Carried Out£500
Steve
Verify Number Go5877654
Payment Number 51
Payments178Cleaning£120
My Tables are linked as follows:
Person Table( name of table )
PersonID( unique ID of that person )
Verify Table( name of table )
VerifyID( unique ID of the Verify Number )
PersonID( linking to Person Table )
PayNo Table( name of table )
PayNoID( unique Payment Number )
VerifyID( linking to Verify Table )
Payments( name of table )
PaymentID( unique Payment ID )
PayNoID( linking to PayNo table )
The Payments figures have no relevance as they are numbers given by the person to me so i do not need to link them, i only need to link the table they are entered onto.
I am trying to get this onto one form whereas i can see who i am paying, the latest verify number, the last payment number to the person and the last payments in a table. Then, i can click add a new payment number, and i can add a new set of payments t the newly created payment number.
Hope this makes sense!!
many thanks,
Nigel

How to make in in Access?
hi, i am new to access and struggling so any help would be great...
i have a db with 3 tables. students contains a Primary Key ('studentid') and then 'firstname' and 'lastname' fields. The two other tables (contactdetails, coursedetails) have 'studentid' as a Primary Key and then they each have other fields.
I set up relationships between the tables (1 to 1) but i would now like to create a form that will allow me to enter data to all three tables at the same time. (this would be ideal as it keeps the data normalised) if this isn't possible i would like to create a form that adds the 'studentid' record to each of the tables.
let me know if you need anymore details but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be cool.
cheers
I was wondering if it was possible to do this, currently if I need to add a new record, I have to add it all in the tables section, this works fine but would be easier if it could be done through the switchoard somehow.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to have a query that I run at the end of each Month to track a workers production and to store that data in a table for each worker by month. Can this be done?
Something like

If this can be done could someone explain to me how to do this. I don't even know if a table can be used to keep stats over months and years.

Hi.
I have a table with a NAME field and a GENDER field.
How would I code a query so that if the gender is MALE than MR. would be added to the front of the existing data in the NAME field? MRS. if gender is FEMALE?
i.e., the result would be MR. SMITH, MR. JONES, MRS. CARSON...

Please bear with me, first post, trying to get to grips with Access for work!
We (a primary school) had a "bespoke" database set up using MS Access by someone who has long left the area and now we need to make changes and I, as the most computer literate person on site, have been volunteered to make these changes.
My level is beginner (for now) and my first job is to add some new options to a "Titles" table, four columns, six records. Column1 = ID#, Column2 = Male Titles, Column3 = Female Titles, whilst Column4 seems to hold items from Columns 2 & 3.
If I add a futher option, I get the error "Can't perform cascading operation: Entry must be one of the Titles as featured in the drop-down box or in the Titles table.
Now, as far as I can tell, I HAVE added the new option to the Titles table, and they DO show in the drop down box in the main spreadsheet display, BUT the error comes back as soon as I try to confirm the new title.
Any ideas please?
