Hi forum, I have this database with a main form and 5 subfoms. For the Address Subform, I need to add multiple addresses for each person I add. How we currently do it is enter the multiple addresses per person, one at a time. Is there an easier way to do this.
For eg: Id Last Name First Name
Then Address 1
Address 2
Address 3
OK I'm totally lost again.
What I want to do is;
Use one form to add records into several tables.
I have seperated my data into seperate tables and set up one to many relationships.
tblincident
--------------
Key#
Report#
Time
Date
Location
tblPerson
----------------
Key#
Last Name
First Name
Middle Name
Address
etc.
tblItem
----------------
Key#
Make
Model
Serial#
etc.
What i want to do is use one form to enter all this data into the different tables.
There can only be one record in tblIncident that can match multiple records in the other tables.
i.e. for each record in tblIncident, I want to be able to have the capability to have as many persons related to that incident as I need.
I was thinking about setting up a tabctl for the data that has to be entered for tblIncident and then change the property setting for it to go away and then have the next tabctl appear in it's place for entering data into the next table. The problem I am having is that apparently I can only have one table as the control source for the form.
So next I tried using subforms, but that isn't working either. I can't figure out how to make the subform appear in a specific place on my form, sized in specific dimensions I want where I want.
I am just starting to learn about this relationships stuff and it's kind of difficult. How do you make it where you can do this from one form? Do I need to make a query of some sort?
Any help is appreciated.
I have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
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!

I believe this can be done with a query, but am having problems with it.
What i have is a db with a table for employee another table for training items and a third table to tie them both together. These employees are divided into several "teams" (team 1, team 2 etc ...) The training items are assigned to some or all of the teams. ( i know that this is a many to many relationship and i believe that is where i get confused ) Now the problem. What i would like to do is have a form that will allow the user to assign a new training item to teams 4, 5 and 6 and have access automatically create a record in the table. Now that the 20 or so employees that are assigned these training items will have a record that the user can simply fill in a date when the training has been completed by the employee.
I believe what i am looking for is an append query. Is that right?? Have been playing with this one for awhile and have no luck so i would appreciate any help i can get on this one
thanks again

I have a comments on my form. I have contacts with them having from 1 to many customers accts. I am trying to come up with a way to update the comments for a contact that adds those comments to all their customers records...but not to those that have been closed.
How would I add these comments to the comments on the form without overwriting the current comments.
Comments - Memo
Contact - Text
It's quite a pain, copying and pasting from record to record.
Thanks
I am new to Access here, and looking to start up a database that will contain data for thousands of footballers.
I have on one table ("Directory"), all 5000+ players, with nationalities, names etc, and on another ("Flags"), I have all nations of the world and their respective flags (as an attachment).
How do I add the flag of a players nation into the "Directory" table for each record? Is there a quick way? I've tried "Lookup" but it won't let me do it for images, I've tried "Relationships" but without success.....surely I don't have to go through the "add attachment" process for all 5000 records?
I have two tables :
Table 1: Mission_Id , Mission_Type, Customer_Name...
Table 2: Supporter_Name, Report_Date, Area, Unit, Issue_Type, Error_Status,Mission_Id
I have a form that the users enter data into and send a report each day. I would like that in a click of a button all the data I entered the day before and that have ="Open" will be entered into the tables with today's date. Is that possible?
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
Supposing you have 4 Tables
1.)User
2.)Admin
3.)Teacher
4.)Pupil
Now the "User" table has the ff. fields: ID(auto num),FName,MName,LName,User,Pass,Type.
Now what I want to do is, if I add a new a record in the table "User" and if the record has the data "Admin" in the field "Type" then the record should also be saved in the table "Admin" but if the data is "Teacher" or "Pupil" then it should be also saved in their respective tables.
Question is: Is that possible? If yes, then how??
I have a field named Supplies Expense. As an analyst inputs a business's expenses, it may require multiple entries into this one field. What is the best way to accomplish this?
For example:
Supplies Expense (Field Name) [$0.00]
The analyst has the following data:
2009 Financial Statement
Paper $50
Depreciation Expense N/A
Ink $100
So, going down the list, the analyst goes into access and enters $50 for paper then later needs to enter $100 for ink.
What is the best way to combine these multiple entries into a single Supplies Expense field and allow for a quality check of the individual numbers at the end of the project?
To start off I have only been working in Access(2003) for the past 2 months. And Yes I am a neebie of all neebies but please read on.
What I am trying to do is for every record I need to associate multiple pictures of damages to items in for repair. For example I have an High end Amplifier that came in for repair and the outside has markings of a fire(thats one pix) then opening it up we see that the fuses, wires and PC board has fire marks also(pix two) and so on. The record is keyed to the serial number. On the form my fields are Serial number, RMA #, all the senders info (name,address, contact number, store purchased, etc.). Then I created a subform for the picture with the following the picture itself, buttons(previous, next, add pic, delete pic) a hiden textbox(serial number) that I have joined(relationship) to the major form(serial number).
How do I link the pic to that specific serial number and then other pictures that also link to that serial number.
I know its wordy but I wanted to make it as clear as I could.
Thank You

I am looking to add a field to my table with a timestamp for each new entry.
I am working with a split database. All of the records are inputted by forms (in the back end by other users). I want to be able to see the exact time that a record was added, but without having to add this field to the actual form. I just want to be able to have a field in the table that shows me when the user submitted an entry. Is there a way to add an automatic timestamp field to the table?
I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")
2 Forms
frmJobs Form to view job details
frmCandidates form to view Candates information
I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.
How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba
I have a number of tables all with there corresponding forms. I am needing to have a command button on the form for the user to easily add a new record. Obviously this is easy by just using the wizard but my problem is that I need the record to be added over all the tables.
This is an attendance database with tables for each month. So when a new member of staff joins and there record is added for that particular month I would like it to be added to all subsequent tables as well. Is there a way of doing this. It would also be beneficial if a similar thing could be done for deleting staff (i.e. a staff member is deleted from one table and subsequently is removed from the other tables)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Hey everyone... got a little problem, i have the followinf form/subform setup show in the screenshot below, for ages the calendar conrol there has worked fine, its control source is the date field on the left habd side.
Now however, it doesnt work, or rather it works when your editing old records, it changes the dates fine, but when you go to enter a new record in, you cannot use the calendar, it just makes the windows error sound at me. And i cant type the date in either, and i cant type into any of the other fields either, but i can edit the old ones fine....
Of course i can just go into the original table that the form runs off and type new data in there, but thats not the point, i need to be able to use this form. It worked before, but i opened it today and its screwed sideways, lol
any help from anyon would be great, dragon

I have a form named Member, this form has field named hobbies, this field has multiple values selection i.e. a user could select football, cricket, listening to music and etc. these values are stored in another table and i have looked up the values in my form named member, i know access has multiple value option in combo box while we look up values from another table, but i don't want that the check boxes appear in combo box, they should be listed right in form so that i can see them without going inside the combo box and at the same time the values of these populated check boxes should be stored in a single field.

Hello, here is my problem:
I have a form to add records to my table. I cant bound it, because the controls are tick boxes, and they need to be "converted" into text to add them to my table.
I have a save button, so I can execute an insert statement with all the data I want to add to the table.
The problem is, once I have saved the record, I want to clear the form to add a new record, and I cannot use a docmd.gotorecord acnext as it is an unbound form.
Is there any way to clean a form without going control by control?
Thanks!

Ok heres the problem, i seem to have a little bit of a mind block at the moment so help would be greratly appreciated.
Basically there are two tables involved, tblBikes (which contains all information on the bikes) and tblHires (which contains all the information about hired bikes) these are linked with a one to many relationship as each bike can be hired out many times.
I have a button on a form containing bike information which opens the hires form filtered by the bike ID of the record selected in the first form. When I add a record to the hires form i need the bikeID to be automatically input into the field.
I have a form "release_details" having fields date, version, cksum ,comments,labels, and is link to a table,
it has a button "mai"l ,on clicking this button a new form is open which has a button "send mail" on clicking this a mail is sent and pops a message "mail sent".I need when "send mail" is click it should also save the fields of form
"release_details" to the table.
cmdSend_Click()
Forms!Enter_Release_details.Dirty = False
I start with a table of UserIDs, names and roles (tblUserIDList). I have a simple query off that which lists them in alpha order by UserID. Next I have a simple form with a combo box which uses that query to select the User and binds the UserID field to use.
There is a button which triggers a macro which opens the 2nd form using a query which filters using that UserID. There is another point in that form in which that UserID is again used as a filter for other data. The 2nd form is a data input form. All works fine up to that point.
However, when the 2 forms are closed, for some reason the UserID is re-added to the tblUserIDList. I've never had this happen before.
Hi guys and girls,
I'm fairly new to Access and I'd appreciate some help. I've built a form with buttons to open new forms for that specific record (based on queries as all the data is held in a single table). This works fine until I try to add new records. At the moment the only way I can make this work is to add the new record, shut the original form before re-opening it and proceeding on to the other sections (via the buttons I mentioned).
If anyone could tell me how to get Access to save the record before it opens the other forms I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Franny.
Let's say I have two tables:
Product.
Item Description
A It's Red
B It's Blue
C It's Green
D You'll love it
Category.
Item Category_name
A Cat1
A Cat2
A Cat3
B Cat1
B Cat4
C Cat1
C Cat6
I want to create a query/table that takes all the possible values for Category.Item and mix them into one field seperated by say a comma, so it would look like this:
ItemCategoryConsolodation.
Item Desc Categories
A It's Red Cat1,Cat2,Cat3
B It's Blue Cat1,Cat4
...
How does one do that?!
What's it called when you try to do this so I can Google it?
I've looked through like 8 Access books at the book store and none of them address anything like this. Can someone recommend a book that would cover "weird" stuff like this?
i have an unbound form with the following code which works as it should
Code:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl_Courses", dbOpenDynaset)
With rst
.AddNew
rst!DateCreated = DateCreated
rst!Originator = Originator
[code]....
I also need to add other text fields from the unbound form to another table but can't seem to work out how to do it.
