Adding A New Record, But Not Allowing Old Records To Be Edited
May 6, 2005
I have a problem that should have an easy solution. But I can't find it.
I need to have a user add a new record. (Created a form with the fields on it, No problem , so far.)
The problem is when the user is adding a new record if they hit the PAGE DOWN Key or the mouse scroll, they then go to a new NEW record. (And if they are not paying attention they now have two new records)
How do I prevent this.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a database / form with a hidden timestamp field [LastEdit]
that is filled automatically with the current time Now() when updated.
The purpose is that each time the form is opened I want it to "Goto" the last edited record.
I *think* I get around the find edit quotes because the smaller snippets below do work.
findit = DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")
MsgBox DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn")
But the whole thing fails when I put it into one command as either one of these
DoCmd.FindRecord DMax("[LastEdit]", "esn"), , , acSearchAll
or DoCmd.FindRecord findit, , , acSearchAll
perhaps because of the quotes around the variable.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

I have a form where a user can change the scheduled start date for a job. On a sub form on the same screen is a list of notes relating to that job.
Any notes added, automatically have todays date and are locked when the user clicks off.
When the scheduled start date is changed I need a note to be made. Either forced, then entered by the user or automatically.
I was thinking of making the scheduled start appear in a small form and the button to make it come up could add a new note on the click event (possibly in a message).
Or even better (probably harder) any time the value is changed in the form a new note is added.
Other options could be a pop up form to add one note on a change.

I have a split db in use by about 20 people. Ocasionally a user opens a record that is already opened by some other user and if changes are made then he gets error 7878; "the data has changed error"
Is it possible to find out which records are actually being used/open/edited in a split db? All tables are related to the main key (CallID on table Contacts).
If it was possible to find out, I could have a label show up in the db record search form telling the user not to open that record.

Hi All,
I have a continious form where each record can be edited. After editing a record the form does a me.save and a me.requery (is important). After this it jumps back to the first record (seems logical), but how can I write a code that he goes back to the 'previous edited record'.
Thanks.

Having a problem when saving a record that has been edited and contains a duplicate field. Here is what I'm doing.
I have an existing record that is being viewed by the user. I have an edit button on the form that is displaying the record. When the user clicks the edit button I do the following
'User clicked on edit customer record
Private Sub CustEditRec_Click()
'Store current customer key in string so we can cross
'check if user has changed the key during edit
EditCustKey = Me.txtCustomerKey
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'Set customer record test string so we can determine
'what the user is doing
CustomerRecStat = "edit"
' Go unlock the customer data fields for editing
UnlockCustomerFields
TxtCompanyName.SetFocus
'Go Unlock the customer editing buttons
UnLockCustomerAddButtons
'Lock the add, delete, edit buttons
CustAddRec.Enabled = False
CustEditRec.Enabled = False
CustDelRec.Enabled = False
'Go Disable the customer navagation buttons
DisableCustomerNavigation
txtCustomerKey.Visible = True
txtCustomerKey.Locked = False
txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True
'Set focus on the customer key
txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
'disable & hide the customer key combobox
cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True
cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False
cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False
Exit_CustEditRec_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_CustEditRec_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CustEditRec_Click
End Sub
The field which duplicate entries are not allowed in the table is txtCustomerKey. Now remember we are just editing a record NOT ADDING A NEW ONE.
When the user finished making the changes to the record we use the same procedure to save the changes as we when the user is adding a new record...here it is.
'User clicked save customer record
Private Sub CustSaveRec_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_CustSaveRec_Click
SaveCustomerRecord:
'Update the table data fields with the data contained on the form
CustomerKey = Me.txtCustomerKey
CustomerCompany = Me.TxtCompanyName
CustomerFirst = Me.txtCustomerFirst
CustomerLast = Me.txtCustomerLast
CustomerAddress = Me.txtCustomerAddress
CustomerCity = Me.txtCustomerCity
CustomerProvince = Me.txtCustomerProvince
CustomerPostal = Me.txtCustomerPostal
CustomerCountry = Me.txtCustomerCountry
CustomerPhone = Me.txtCustomerPhone
CustomerFax = Me.txtCustomerFax
CustomerEmail = Me.txtCustomerEmail
CustomerWeb = Me.txtCustomerWeb
CustomerNotes = Me.txtCustomerNotes
'Save the record
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
'*** IF WE GOT THIS FAR WITH OUT ERRORS WE SAVED THE RECORD
'*** GO AHEAD & DISABLE THE FORMS VARIOUS FIELDS
'*** & BUTTONS ONCE AGAIN AS WE ARE JUST BACK TO VIEWING
'*** THE CUSTOMERS DATABASE
'Enable and unlock the customer key field
txtCustomerKey.Visible = True
txtCustomerKey.Locked = False
txtCustomerKey.Enabled = True
'Hide & disable the customer keycombo box
cmboCustomerKey.Locked = True
cmboCustomerKey.Enabled = False
cmboCustomerKey.Visible = False
'Set focus on the customer key field
txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
'Lock the customer fields
LockCustomerFields
'Enable the navigation buttons
EnableCustomerNavigation
'Lock the customer adding buttons
LockCustomerAddButtons
'Clear the record testing status
CustomerRecStat = ""
txtCustomerKey_AfterUpdate
Exit_CustSaveRec_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_CustSaveRec_Click:
'If the error generated was by a duplicate value.
'This can only be caused by the customer key as this
'is the only field which does not allow duplicate values.
'so warn the user of this duplicate value error and set
'the focus on the customer key field
If Err.Number = 3022 Then
'if user is editing a record
If CustomerRecStat = "edit" Then
'And the entered customer key has not changed
If Me.txtCustomerKey = EditCustKey Then
'Return to saving the record as the key is
'not really a duplicate
GoTo SaveCustomerRecord
End If
End If
Select Case MsgBox("This Customer ID was already located in the database. Click OK to enter a new Customer ID or Cancel to stop adding this record?", vbExclamation + vbOKCancel + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate Customer ID")
Case vbOK
Me.txtCustomerKey.SetFocus
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
Case vbCancel
'Go simulate undo record click
CustUndoRec_Click
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
End Select
End If
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_CustSaveRec_Click
End Sub
The problem is when the user is editing a record. The database assumes the txtCustomerKey is a duplicate in the table. However we are not adding a new record so the duplicate error is false. Its just that the txtCustomerKey is the same as the record being edited. Its not DUPLICATED its the SAME.....
Any help anyone? Sorry for the long post but I'm a strong believer in the more information the better when trying to solve a problem....
Thx

I'm working on a project that has project start / end dates which can change. A report is created based on this data. The customer wants me to save all changes as a new record and disregard the older record when the report is created. I was thinking that I would add a (yes/no) column that marks the new record as the most recent (yes) and marks older records as (no). Then I would modify the query for the report to only include records with 'yes' set to true. I was also thinking that I should create a second table that has a foreign key for the original record from the main table. The main table would have the most recently edited record while the second table would have the previous records. Which method should I use?

I have a form based on a select query (query does calculations as well). The query pulls from 2 linked tables, and it's not allowing me to add new records. On the form properties, I have "allow additions, allow deletions, allow edits, and data entry" set to yes. I've tried adding code to go to a new record when the form opens and this doesn't work, either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I just created a form using the form wizard. I have added records from both tables and queries and now the form will not allow me to add any new records. Is this because I've used both tables & queries?

My situation:
I have a table with duplicate ids. When I have a forum popup another form, the forms are linked by ids. This works great except for one problem. There are duplicate ids. So if I pop up a form then it will go to the first record that that id exist. This is not good if you are going to add another record. Therefore, I need to create a unique variable for a record. The autonumber would be a great variable but it seems I cannot use it to filter. Unless someone can show me how. Is there another way to create a unique variable automatically for a new record?

i have a form that has a record source
Code:
SELECT tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname,
tblClientDetails.MobileTelephoneNumber, tblClientDetails.SentTextMarketing
FROM (tblCategories INNER JOIN tblItems ON tblCategories.CategoriesID = tblItems.CategoriesID)
INNER JOIN ((tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders
[Code] .....
this does not allow edits on a continuous form. the edit i am trying to do is the check box. it will allow edits if the grouping is not on but if it is not on then i will get many duplicates of client details.
so how do i set it up to allow edits but still only get one instance of each client detail.

I need to have a query-based form open and allow users to check off (or otherwise indicate) which records they want to update.
I tried having a check box on a continuous form, but when you check one, you check them all. I did a search on this, and saw that if you make the check-box bound, then that will work. But I don't know what to bind it to. I don't want to add another field to an already large and complex table, and I don't know where to put it if not in main table.

What I would like to do it take all 'RoleTitle' from RolesList, all 'CourseID' from courselist and show them as a pivot table/matrix with a checkbox that creates or deletes entries from the RoleRequirements table. So, if it exists in the RoleRequirements table then it should appear a checked, unchecking it would delete it from the table.
I am using access 2010 with a SQL server 2005 backend.

Hi,
I was wondering how to delete records that have been checked (through a checkbox) in a form...
Also, I want to add a record after the record that has been checked. I only want this ability to add records available if only one record is checked. Otherwise, if more than one record is checked, the "Add Record" button would be disabled.
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA.

I am at a loss as to why this error has suddenly appeared.
I have a form (frmPurchaseOrders) plus a sub form (frmPurchaseOrderDetails).
The sub has a combo ProdcutID row source:
SELECT DISTINCT [ProductID], [ProductName], [Discontinued] FROM tblProducts WHERE SupplierID=Forms!frmPurchaseOrders!SupplierID ORDER BY [ProductName];
Column Count = 3
Bound Column = 1
If I select a Product from the combo I get error:
'Control can't be edited, its bound to autonumber field ProductID'???
I can't recall changing anything??
Why am I getting this error? I have existing orders with order details (thus proving it worked once!!).
Anybody got any ideas?
:confused:

I have an Access form linked to two SQL tables, I had to make a change to the field length/datatype of a field named notes. The form now tells me that the "text is too long to be edited" whenever I try to add data to that Notes field in my form. I went from char to nvarchar... how do I fix this?

The question is in the title...
How do I allow people to enter data into a field once, but then lock it or disable it from being editted later.
Tried this:
Private Sub SubmittedD_Enter()
If SubmittedD = Null Then
SubmittedD.Locked = False
Else
SubmittedD.Locked = True
End If
End Sub
but the If statement isn't working... it just does the Else statement regardless of wether SubmittedD is null or not.
Thank you.

I have a database, originally made in earlier version of Access, recently converted into Access 2010. Due to the high number of tables relationship page is quite crowded. My problem is that I can't move the page to the most left-upper corner of the relationwhip page where I still have relations but they simply can't be seen and edited; I can't move the page any further with the silpers.

Is there a possibility that a control CAN be edited that is bound to an expression?
All of my Form properties are set to editable, no locks, allow deletion, allow addition, etc.
I just want a text box in a Form to be edited by users if they want to update it but they CAN'T since it is bound to an expression.

I have written a code to look up by the unique reference number rather than use the wizard to avoid this error happening... The field is restricted to list only so you can't actually edit the number.For ease of use you cannot scroll by record and I need to filter by the ID. Is there an easy fix to this combobox?
Would creating a seperate query work? Is there another lookup code I could use where I don't need to have the combo box bound to the ID field since it's not being edited anyway? I had a go at one and although it would now let me select it wasn't updating the record, tried a few ways but it seems that it needs to be bound to the field.
