Hello,
I was wondering if this was possible. I would like to have a field on my form that states who last saved the entry.
I have a table that has business prospects and people responsible for them. A certain entry my have 2 or 3 people responsible for the prospect. I wanted to record who last edited a particular entry, is this possible?
I couldnt find a "last saved by" function.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I've got a subform, fed by a query which contains a lot of calculated fields. All the calculations use the contents of a field on the main form.
What i want to do is have a live update, so that if i change the value of the field on the main form, the subform is requeried and the fields recalculated using the new value.
I've put a subform requery on the On Change event, but the requeried fields are coming out the same, presumably because the new value i have put in is not saved until i change record.
I'm using the control name in my calculations, and yet it's still picking up the old (saved) value from the underlying table - is there no way to tell Access to look at what resides in the control right now?
El.
What i want to do is if a user forgets to put lets say Address or Zip
Will not allow user to save record but instead will highlight the text boxs
that are required. Once data is put in will allow user to save record.
Any ideas
How can I force a field in a form to be updated before the record is saved / changed?
For instance I have a form with information on it and I want to ensure that any time the form is updated the user fills in a section providing the date and by who it has been updated by. I dont want the record to save unless that information has been filled out, and I also want it to take you to the field if you press save and it hasnt been filled out along with an error message.
To try and be a bit clearer. At current I have a Save and New button. This saves the form if dirty and opens a new record.
I want to add in the step that if record has been changed and FieldA has not just been updated then go to fieldA (Showing a message box). If FieldA has just been updated then save record and open new as normal.
My current save & new button properties are as follows (in Macro Editor)
On error Go To Next
If [form].[dirty]
RunMenuCommand Command SaveRecord
End If
If [MacroError].[Number}< >0
Message =[MacroError].[Description]
Beep Yes
Type None
Stop macro
On Error
Go To Fail
Go To Record
Record New
Go To Control
Control name Resort Code
I have designed a database that has two forms as inputs to a table. The first form is a checklist and when it is completed it saves all fields except the ManagerID field. I then use the blank ManagerID, clientID and Date to pull onto a form for the manager to complete. On completion I want the ManagerID to save into the current records so they do not show up in the manager checklist forms and I then have a complete record. I have been searching online and cant seem to see how the best avenue is. I have an append query, see below
Code:
INSERT INTO ChecklistResults ( ManagerID )
SELECT ChecklistResults.ManagerID, ChecklistResults.ClientID, ChecklistResults.DateCompleted
FROM ChecklistResults
WHERE (((ChecklistResults.ClientID)=[Forms]![TeamLeader]![ComClientNotFin]) AND ((ChecklistResults.DateCompleted)=[Forms]![TeamLeader]![ComDateSelect]));
Code:
Private Sub CmdAppend_Click()
Dim dbsNorthwind As dao.Database
Dim rstAmend As dao.Recordset
Dim qdfAmend As dao.QueryDef
[code]...
I am using a Microsoft Access Form and would like to add some new fields and have no idea where to start. Any step-by-step help would be greatly appreciated.
I am an amateur and would need step by step so minute details would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

A have a query that selects a multivalue field. The query forms the record source for a subform. The text values in the multivalue field are displayed in the query, but when I save this and view the data in the subform datasheet view the values revert to the primary key values. They are 1,2,3,4 instead of the text values
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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

hi,
I added a field to a table in the backend
I also addded the same field to show up in the form
Now the problem I am facing is that in a new record I can type my values for all fields but an error(2465) is thrown when i try to save it
I suspect that when this field is added in the form it is not getting committed/saved into the table
how do i go about doing this?
thanks
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
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!
I am not sure where this thread should be in forms or queries. I have database which has 3 linked tables by ID in each table. I have built a query on the 3 tables, then created the form.
Now when I enter data on the form and save it, when I open up the said form again , the data is not there. Yet the data is in both the table and query
If I only use 1 table, then there is no problem. The record source for the form is the query, and the query uses the 3 tables.
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!

How to add a multi valued fields in a form for example a student may have multiple hobbies, access can do this using using lookup option, but access stores multiple values in one field which is difficult to analyze, looking for efficient way of adding multiple option.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello all,
Do you have a code that would open a saved file based on the contents of 2 textboxes on my form.
The saved files would be in:
C:Documents and Settings100310257Desktop
I have a button on the form, but need a code that would pull up the savedfile using the name in textbox1 and the name in textbox2, like this:
textbox1-textbox2. e.g. textbox1 = Novo Group. textbox2 = AA
There is a saved file in the path above, Novo Group-AA
Thanks for helping!
I have a purchase order form that has a subform embedded. After users have filled up the form, they click on a button that will open up a print preview of a report. The report shows the details of the form they entered. However, all the fields on the parent form that are filled up after filling up the subform are not displayed on the report.
The reason is most probably that they have not been saved yet. How can I solve this problem?
I created a form with subforms that are all linked to their own tables. Values that are entered in to the form (i.e. just numbers or names) all save into the tables as I would expect; HOWEVER, all of my value lists (0,1,2 or 1-5) do not. I can change the values in the forms and as long as I am toggling between them they appear in the form but they are not populating the tables.
Other details. They are defined as numbers in the property table, I did change them to a value list in the form properties and did assign values to the property list.
I looked through some other threads that seemed similar but the solutions didn't apply. Because the straight up data entry saves, I feel like it is something specific to me creating those value lists...
I am trying to add a calculation field "Status" (text box) to Assets template form i.e
IF Asset item = X
Status = present
But am getting #name? in the text box
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
