Adding New Field To Query And Then Form

Mar 6, 2005

I have created a form from a query. I have then at a later date added a new field to the query. I have returned to the form and attempted to add it to the form but it doesn't show the new field within the control source options. Does anyone know why? Do I really have to start all over again with my form?

Thanks

I Don't Know What To Call My Problem... Adding Another Field In A Form???

Dec 28, 2004

Hi, it's me again. I hope everyone's holiday season is just fantastic!

I need to figure this out and I don't know quite how to explain it. In a form, I have five fields named "Primary Objectives 1" , 2, 3, 4, and 5. Each is numbered consectively. I am trying to figure out how I can add another "Primary Objective" field to the form, if I need it, without adding the field to my parent table. Is this clear? Is it possible??? Thank you!

Adding A Field To A Form Using Multiple Tables (And A Combo Box)

Jun 15, 2006

Hello!

It's been a while since I've asked a question here, but I can't seem to figure this problem out.

I am setting up a form using data from 4 different tables, all related, and I can't figure out how to add fields that I didn't initially add during the wizard set-up. I used the wizard because it's easier for me to do that and then go in and make the changes I want to make.


When I get data from just one table, all of the available fields from that table are in the "Field List" no matter what fields I chose to include in the wizard process. That's good. But when I get data from more than one table, only the fields I initially chose in the Wizard process are showing up in the field list. I can't figure out how to add a new and different field from one of those tables.

The way I "solved" this problem the first time was to start over, creating my form from scratch--but now that I've done a lot of work, it just occurred to me that I will need to add 2 more fields. (I actually don't even have those fields in a table yet, but I will add them later.) So, this will be an ongoing problem. Since this form will get much use, by several people, I don't want to have to re-create it every time I want to change something.

So, is this possible? How can I add another field?

Also, while I am at it... A combo box was working beautifully to look up specific records when I was gathering information from only one table. It isn't working anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Forms :: Adding Date Field To Query From Form

Sep 23, 2013

I have a date picker field in my form that is used as part of a criteria in a query. I also add it as a result field in the query being that it is appending data to a table. But when the query runs it puts weird characters into the query field with expression.

The Expression is as follows:

BillWk: [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd]

My Criteria is:
Between [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd] And [Forms]![Invoice Form]![WkEnd]-6

The Criteria works but the expression does not.

I have attached a png of the field.

Adding New Field To Existing Table And Form - Getting Error

Jun 8, 2014

I'm trying to add a combo box field to an existing table and form. I added the new field to my existing table and set it up as an combo box added my row sources. Then added the new field to an existing form and now am getting a error stating "The record source "Table name and added field here" specified on this form or report does not exist. When I just make the new field a text box instead of combo box it works just fine.

Modules & VBA :: Inserting Field Value When Adding Record Using Data Entry Form?

Dec 14, 2014

I 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]")
End Function
************************************************** ********

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.

Forms :: Adding Field To A Form Breaks Entire Database Record Source?

Sep 26, 2014

I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?

Adding Same Field Twice

I got a question about a database I'm trying to design. It's a small cable management system.

I want to create a form that shows where the port of a computer is connected to.

For example; A computer has one ethernet port. That port is connected to a switch. I can add the fields for the Unique hardware ID and for the ports of the computer. But I can't seem to chose a device where the computer is connected to.

Ive tried working with queries.. but nothing seems to work so far.

I created a small example of the database I'm trying to make.

How Would I Go About Adding A Field Or A Table?

Oct 2, 2005

The attachment is the database Im working on and I have a problem.
I need to add a supplier Product number in there some where so I could keep the numbe as reference and so it may be easier to enter items recieved.
in the form section, I will have Invoice with a sub form Invoice details.
I need to put suppliers Item number somehow so it would search and if the item is on the product list it would fill out the rest of the values.

should I make a separate table for suppliers product number or should I just include that into the invoice detail? I dont want to put it in the product table since I get same Items from different suppliers.

Adding A Field Name To A Query

Nov 30, 2005

I hope I can ask this question so that it makes sense.

I have a totals query that I'm using to make a Chart. The query works fine but I want to change the look abit. What I'm doing is quering a table looking for the total number of times that there is a check box in a field called PDC RTA and totaling the Hrs as well. The data comes back looking looking like this.
PDC RTA-----Count-----Total Hrs
-1 ---------- 6 -------- 53
0 -----------25 -------- 78

My problem is that when I chart this the -1 and 0 show up at the bottom of the bars on the chart. I would like to rename these to fields on the qry qrid then I can chart the new field names so that it will make sense to the user.

Make sense

Adding A String To The End Of A Field

Nov 20, 2007

I have a field that contains various text....(It's a note field that allows 86 characters).

I want to go in to the database and add the string "Conversion 2007" to the end of every record. So leave whatever is in there but add in the string. I would like it to add whatever it will fit, in the cases where there is not enough room.

I figured this was somewhat simple, but I haven't found anything yet.
Thanks.

Adding A Value To New Field In Access

Jun 5, 2012

I'm importing a text file into Access. The file is just a string of numbers that I'm breaking apart into three fields. Once those three fields have been broken apart by the import tool I need to add a new field that just contains the year.

For example, I import the 1990 data file that is .txt format and I break apart the three fields while it's imported. Once imported into three fields, I want to add a 4th field that says 1990 for every record. This has to be a pretty simple thing to do, but I can't figure out how to add a single number as a new field to every record in the database.

Dim colFullName As Object
Dim dbsCurrent As Object
Dim yearInt As Integer
Dim monthInt As Integer
Dim table1 As Object


Set dbsCurrent = CurrentDb
Set table1 = CurrentDb.CreateTableDef("103TblCustomerBalancesCombined")

yearInt = Year(Date)
monthInt = Month(Date) - 1

If monthInt = 0 Then
periodDate = CLng(yearInt - 1 & 12)
Exit Function
End If

If monthInt < 10 Then
periodDate = CLng(yearInt & "0" & monthInt)
Else
periodDate = CLng(yearInt & "" & monthInt)
End If

Set colFullName = table1.CreateField(periodDate, DB_TEXT)
table1.Fields.Append colFullName
